"Do you know? He is Mayor Qian's former secretary. With this relationship, he can just gild his reputation in the township. Sooner or later, he will soar to the sky!" someone said in a low voice.
Everyone was whispering to each other, unable to hide the envy in their eyes.
"Humph! This Secretary Li is incredible. He's also a martial arts expert! He single-handedly took down a den of thieves in our Kaoshan Town!"
Ye Xiaotao, the Party Secretary of Kaoshan Town, still remembered the previous grudge. There was a hint of hostility at the corner of his mouth and his words were contemptuous.
"I've also heard about this incident...and it later alarmed the leaders of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, right?" the person next to him asked curiously.
"Not only the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but even the leaders of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection have been alarmed! If you have the ability, why don't you go to your Weishui Township? Why are you making trouble in our Kaoshan Town? You really don't know what you are talking about!"
Ye Xiaotao became angrier as he spoke, and anger gradually appeared in his eyes.
Especially when he thought of the scene in Liu Yong’s office, he felt like an orphan who had fallen out of favor...extremely aggrieved!
"Oh, so Secretary Li has a lot of connections? That's incredible... One phone call can alert so many major departments in the city..."
After hearing this, some people immediately felt admiration for Li Lin and wanted to make friends with him.
At this time, the eyes of several other township leaders, led by Ye Xiaotao, looked at Li Lin with gradually intriguing eyes.
"He is really amazing... At the investment promotion meeting yesterday, County Mayor Ma specifically mentioned the name of Weishui Township and asked them to make a self-criticism speech today... Haha, I wonder if this Secretary Li has the nerve to stand on the stage?"
"Him? Who would be willing to go on stage for such an embarrassing thing? I guess he will push Yang Ping to the stage..."
Ye Xiaotao and others looked at Li Lin from afar, their eyes filled with playful smiles.
Li Lin has been in the limelight in Shannan County these days, and everyone is looking forward to seeing how he will make a fool of himself today.
Li Lin seemed oblivious to all the looks and discussions, and walked into the meeting hall calmly with Yang Ping.
Just as he reached the door, an unpleasant figure seemed to have seen Li Lin and hurried out.
Minister of Organization, Shen Zhifei!
Li Lin didn't want to meet him, so he pretended not to see him and went straight into the meeting room.
But Shen Zhifei turned a blind eye to Li Lin's cold attitude and went straight towards Li Lin with a thick skin.
As soon as the two met, Shen Zhifei smiled and stretched out his right hand.
"Brother Li Lin, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"
"Alas, you have been in office in Weishui Township for so long, and I have not had the time to visit you, brother. Please forgive me!"
"I'll organize a party in the next two days to celebrate for you and Mayor Yang! Hahaha..."
He didn't care how cold Li Lin's expression was and just smiled happily to himself.
This scene stunned all the cadres outside the meeting hall.
"Fuck! Isn't that Minister Shen? When did he become so close to Li Lin?"
"That's not right! Look at Li Lin, he seems to be indifferent to Minister Shen..."
"How fucking arrogant! It's so awesome to have the mayor's endorsement that you can even ignore the Organization Minister who holds the power over the county's personnel?"
Ye Xiaotao was so shocked that his eyes widened. It was fine that Liu Yong protected Li Lin, but now even Minister Shen was so kind to Li Lin?
He looked incredulous. How many days had he, Li Lin, only been in Shannan County? Was it worth it for so many county leaders to be so affectionate to him?
Feelings of envy and jealousy intertwined in his heart.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Facing Shen Zhifei who was forcibly sticking to him, Li Lin forced a smile and shook hands with him symbolically.
"Is Minister Shen okay? If not, I'll go in first."
Li Lin was too lazy to say even a polite word to Shen Zhifei.
The corners of Shen Zhifei's mouth twitched awkwardly for a few times, and the smile on his face froze instantly.
He had planned to take this opportunity to ease the relationship with Li Lin, and then ask him to apologize to Mayor Qian.
But Li Lin's cold look didn't give him any chance to please him!
"Oh! It's okay, it's okay... I will definitely arrange a date for you and Mayor Yang in the next two days. You must show your favor when the time comes, brother, hahahaha..."
There is no other way. In order to survive, Shen Zhifei has to bow his head when he should, even if he is unwilling to do so!
Being able to bend and stretch is what a real man does, Shen Zhifei always comforts himself in this way.
Yang Ping stood beside Li Lin, looking embarrassed.
Seeing Li Lin's attitude towards the county party committee's organization minister, she was extremely devastated and shocked.
In the past, when you quarreled with him, it was because you were of low rank and he wouldn’t argue with you.
Now that you are the head of the township, shouldn't you take the initiative to show goodwill to others?
Why is he still so cold to Minister Shen?
However, what surprised her even more was that even though Li Lin's attitude was so cold, Shen Zhifei was not angry at all, and was actually smiling happily.
This scene that went against common sense almost broke Yang Ping's heart.
She raised her head and stared blankly at Li Lin, who looked calm. She felt both admiration and shock!
Yang Ping knew very well that in the officialdom, very few people dared to treat their superiors like this.
Li Lin's courage and toughness gave her a new understanding of Li Lin.
She didn't understand why Li Lin was so confident. Was it just because he had the support of the rich mayor?
But no matter what, Li Lin's performance made her realize that he was definitely not an ordinary person!
As for Shen Zhifei, although he was forcing a smile on his face, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
He never thought that he would be so humble in front of a young township secretary.
But the situation was pressing and he had to do it.
He secretly swore that once he got through the current difficulties, he would make Li Lin pay.
But at this moment, he could only continue to put on a smile, hoping to resolve the conflict between him and Li Lin.
The cadres around were also whispering, speculating about the relationship between Li Lin and Shen Zhifei.
Some people think that Li Lin is too arrogant and will suffer losses sooner or later.
Some people also admire Li Lin's courage and think that he must have real ability to do so.
Li Lin seemed unaware of these discussions. He just walked into the meeting room with Yang Ping calmly.
