At this time, at the invitation of everyone, Chu Guoan sat down in an empty seat, right opposite Li Lin.
He first raised his glass and clinked glasses with everyone. Everyone was very tactful and drank it all in one gulp without leaving a drop. After all, it was the vice governor who clinked glasses personally, so who would dare not give him face?
After clinking glasses, Chu Guoan glanced at Li Lin with ill intent, and said to everyone with a smile, "It's already amazing that you can be recommended as candidates by the local government. You don't have to be selected as an outstanding youth to prove your excellence."
"Haha, those who are elected don't necessarily have real talent. Who can see how outstanding their ability to attract investment is or how many jobs they have created for the region? Isn't it just what is written on the paper and how the host reads it? Haha, of course, this is just a joke... Our government election committee is still very clear-headed. I say this just to prevent those of you who were not elected from getting discouraged..."
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked everyone in a pretentious manner, "Oh, I've said enough. No one at our table has been selected, right?"
Chu Guoan looked around at everyone and asked the question even though he knew the answer.
Everyone lowered their heads in silence.
When Chu Guoan's provocative gaze fell on Li Lin, Li Lin responded to him with a smile on his face, with no intention of avoiding him at all.
Among the people at this table, Li Lin was the only one selected.
Chu Guoan's words, to put it bluntly, were all ridicule and mockery of Li Lin...
It was almost as if he had said that Li Lin's selection was the result of Li Lan's behind-the-scenes work. In fact, Li Lin was just a mediocre person who looked strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside and lied about his achievements!
Niu Qing and Bai Xiaohua also looked at Li Lin awkwardly and smiled. They also heard that Chu Guoan's words seemed to be directed at Li Lin. They wanted to help Li Lin out, but they were powerless... After all, they were of low positions and were nothing in front of Chu Guoan, a vice-provincial level boss!
Of course, Li Lin would not take the initiative to respond to Chu Guoan's words. No one specifically said that you, Li Lin, were "fraudulent" to get to the top. Once you take the initiative to respond to this conversation, you will be suspected of being guilty.
The innocent are innocent, why should I make excuses? There is nothing to say!
Chu Guoan was pleased to see Li Lin suffer a loss, but he quickly pretended to be annoyed and said with a frown, "Oh, look at my mouth. I wanted to encourage everyone, but I ended up making things worse. Don't mind it... Especially Comrade Li Lin from Pingyang, I forgot that you were the first one to go on stage to receive the award. My words were not directed at you, I was just talking about certain people... Hahaha..."
Li Lin smiled calmly and said to Chu Guoan, "Oh, I won't take what Vice Governor Chu said to heart. Besides, I actually agree with what Vice Governor Chu said..."
Chu Guoan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Li Lin was not angry at all, but rather agreed with it?
Humph! Let's see what he has in mind!
At this moment, everyone looked at Li Lin in surprise, wondering what Li Lin would say.
Li Lin smiled and continued, "Falsification exists in all walks of life. Not to mention a selection, it is also common in major events such as cadre appointments and removals. There are all kinds of fake files, fake identities, fake resumes... Just from the news reports, there are a lot of them... Vice Governor Chu reminded us today that we must seek truth from facts and be down-to-earth in our conduct and work. Am I right, Vice Governor Chu?"
Falsification of files, falsification of identities...?
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath, thinking that Li Lin really dared to say anything! He dared to throw out such a sensitive topic?
Chu Guoan's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and the smile on his face gradually froze and turned gloomy...
Because he was reported for suspected resume falsification in his early years, although it did not affect his subsequent promotion, it delayed his promotion by three years... This matter has always been a pain point in his heart!
How did this guy know this? I kept this matter a secret, how did he get it?
Chu Guoan suspected that Li Lin was targeting him...
“Hehehe…” Chu Guoan couldn’t hold it in any longer. He wanted to lose his temper, and even wanted to stand up and slap Li Lin in the face. However, on this occasion today, he didn’t dare to be so arrogant. So he suppressed his anger and smiled sinisterly, “Yes, Comrade Li Lin is right, that’s what I meant…”
Being mocked by Li Lin, Chu Guoan could only swallow his anger...
The two fought back and forth and ended up in a draw.
Haha, Chu Guoan smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking about how to fight back.
