Officialdom: After My Demotion, My Powerful Background Was Exposed

When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.

With no backing, Li Lin's polit...

Chapter 76 Qian Lingyun has zero chance of winning

At this time, Li Lin couldn't help but speak up on behalf of Qian Lingyun and asked, "Sister, do you think Mayor Qian still has a chance to return to the city and govern?"

Li Lan probably expected Li Lin to ask this question, so he smiled and said, "Of course there is a chance! In fact, he was transferred back to the provincial party committee from the city, and his rank has been raised. This shows that the provincial leaders have not completely abandoned him in their hearts."

"Think about it, if the provincial leaders want to give up a cadre, will they take the initiative to raise his rank?"

"According to that statement, with Mayor Qian's current rank of director-general, he will most likely be a full-time official when he moves to a prefecture-level city in the future?" Li Lin was a little surprised. He was also very puzzled at the beginning as to why Mayor Qian had been under investigation by the organization for so long, but his rank not only did not decrease, but was promoted by one level instead.

At that time, he simply thought that the provincial leaders did this purely to appease Mayor Qian.

Now that it is said, the provincial leaders actually did this on purpose, just waiting for the right time to re-employ Mayor Qian.

I see!

Li Lin suddenly realized!

Li Lan went on to say, "It is not easy for an organization to train a cadre, especially for prefecture-level cadres like Qian Lingyun. All of them have spent a lot of effort on them, and everything they do is to train them to become senior officials who can guard a place!"

"As long as a cadre who can stand the test of the organization and understand the good intentions of the organization can reflect on his or her own shortcomings and make up for his or her shortcomings during the silent period, the organization will definitely give them the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities."

Li Lin nodded solemnly, his heart burning with excitement, and he couldn't wait to report the good news to Qian Lingyun.

Li Lan smiled, and then she revealed another bombshell piece of news.

"After returning from studying at the Yanjing Party School, Pingyang City's current mayor, Guo Xuecai, has basically confirmed that he will serve as the top leader of another prefecture-level city."

"By then, the position of Pingyang mayor will be vacant. The provincial party committee attaches great importance to this personnel adjustment and has secretly retrieved the files of a number of department-level cadres."

"We want to select one of them to be the mayor of Pingyang City... Qian Lingyun's file is also among them."

Li Lin's heart trembled. Sure enough, what Li Lan said before was not groundless. It turned out that the provincial party committee had already taken action.

"So, Mayor Qian is likely to be transferred back to Pingyang and serve as mayor?"

Li Lin was a little excited, and his voice tone rose two degrees.

Li Lan smiled and said, "I can only say that he is among the candidates. As for who will take the position in Pingyang in the end, it is still uncertain."

"That means the competition will be very fierce this time." Li Lin said worriedly.

Since Li Lan was able to tell Li Lin this secret message, it is likely that someone in Pingyang City or even the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee and government has obtained this information through various channels.

In order to obtain the position of mayor of Pingyang, I wonder how many people are deliberately using connections and gifts...

In comparison, Mayor Qian has almost no advantages in this regard!

Once someone has established connections from top to bottom in advance and obtains the tacit approval of the provincial leaders... then Mayor Qian is likely to be a runner-up...

No! How can we help Mayor Qian?

He himself is just a township-level cadre, and it is difficult for him to meet with department-level leaders.

What can he use to help Mayor Qian?

He couldn't help but set his eyes on Li Lan.

"Sister Lan, can I ask you a question?"

"Um."

"What do you think is Mayor Qian's chance of winning?"

Li Lan said without hesitation, "Almost zero."

As expected! Li Lin frowned instantly.

Li Lan continued, "I said his chances of winning are zero because there are two obstacles in front of him that he can't get around."

"The first choice for the mayor is Lan Xiaoqin, deputy secretary of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee. She has the right to take over the position of mayor. Besides, a certain leader in Yanjing has already informed Secretary Wang of the Provincial Party Committee."

"The second person is Liu Hao, deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee's General Office. He was previously the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee's deputy secretary and was recently promoted to the position of director."

"Qian Lingyun is ranked behind these two. What chance do you think he has of winning?"

Li Lin frowned and his eyes dimmed.

Yes! Lan Xiaoqin has a legitimate reason, Liu Hao has a strong foundation, so what advantages does Mayor Qian have?

Li Lin smiled helplessly, "Forget it, I'm just worrying about nothing. I'm just a township-level cadre. What ability do I have to help Mayor Qian in his competition? I'm afraid I'm not even qualified to be a staff member!"

"How can you belittle yourself? Who says you are not qualified and incapable?" Li Lan said with a smile.

"Me?" Li Lin was very surprised.

"A person's ability is not entirely determined by himself, but also by the connections and relationships behind him! You deny yourself without even seeing the power behind you. This is not a good habit!"

Li Lan's tone became somewhat serious.

She was giving Li Lin some advice.

Li Lin suddenly realized at this time, isn't there Li Lan, a sister of a senior official in the provincial government, behind him?

Li Lan continued, "First of all, you have me as your sister. Although it is not convenient for me to intervene directly in this matter, you have Mr. Sun and Mr. Hou behind you..."

"You may not have a direct understanding of Mr. Sun's strength. He is also a very influential person in the Yanjing political circle. He can directly communicate with Secretary Wang of the Provincial Party Committee!"

"The second is Mr. Hou. He has a lot of information and resources in his hands. He can definitely help you get rid of all the obstacles on your road!"

"As for your sister, I will help you guard the Organization Department and speak for you at the critical moment!"

Li Lin looked at Li Lan in shock. It turned out that she had planned all this long ago.

Today's showdown is actually telling Li Lin that it's time to take action!

Li Lan looked at Li Lin's solemn gaze, she knew that Li Lin had already understood!

As long as Qian Lingyun can be successfully promoted to the position of mayor of Pingyang, Li Lin will have an extra solid barrier in Pingyang in the future.

By then, there will no longer be local forces like the Lu family who can easily challenge Li Lin!
