Saying words like trying to keep someone seems childish.
This is Li Lan's job, and it is the path she chose herself. Since I have no ability to help her, why bother to give her hypocritical advice?
Li Lin suddenly smiled and comforted Li Lan, "Sister, it doesn't matter. No matter where you go, you are still my sister. I don't have much ability, but... as long as you need me, I will come at your call. It's just Yanjing, it's very close."
"Yes, Sister Lan, you also know that my home is in Yanjing. If you work there, Li Lin and I will take time to visit you in the future. Transportation is very convenient now. No matter how far away you are from us, it is still very convenient to meet." Xu Wen smiled faintly and comforted.
Li Lan adjusted his mood, took a long breath, and said with a smile, "It's all my fault, sister, for suddenly talking about such an unhappy topic. I'm still not sure now. Maybe I'll be back soon."
The three of them smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the room became warm again.
At this moment, Li Lin's cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Zhao Jie.
When the call was connected, Zhao Jie laughed embarrassedly. He said, "Secretary Li, I'm sorry to bother you at this time. I hope it didn't affect your rest?"
Li Lin smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't bother you. Is there something going on in the village?"
Li Lin thought Zhao Jie was going to talk about the work in the village, so his tone gradually became serious.
But Zhao Jie just laughed and said, "Secretary Li, it's not about work. I just need to talk to you about something."
"Oh?" Li Lin was slightly puzzled and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."
He was very curious about what Zhao Jie wanted to talk to him about at this time.
After a brief pause, Zhao Jie mustered up the courage to speak, "Secretary, this is about my personal matter. It's hard to explain it in a few words over the phone. I know you're still in the provincial capital. I'll be there soon. I was wondering if I could meet with you to discuss it in detail?"
Personal matter?
Li Lin thought about it for a moment and understood what Zhao Jie meant.
Zhao Jie must have felt that Li Lin's promotion to deputy division level would lead to some changes in the next step. The township has always had an incomplete team, so he wanted to take this opportunity to adjust the positions.
In fact, Li Lin had already considered this matter. Besides, Liu Yong had already handed over the power of adjusting township cadres to him. As long as he reported to his superiors and made a recommendation, the matter would basically be settled.
Speaking objectively, Zhao Jie is a capable person. Although he had a conflict with Li Lin before, he still supported Li Lin's work after Li Lin was promoted to the township party committee secretary.
I remember that when the illegal buildings of the Lu family were demolished, Zhao Jie showed his support for Li Lin with his actual actions.
With his current work attitude, it is actually very appropriate to promote him to the position of deputy secretary.
"Secretary, I don't have any other intentions. I just want to meet you in person and report to you in detail about my recent work. If it's not convenient for you, then I will wait for you in the provincial capital when you are free and then come to see you."
Hearing that Li Lin did not reply immediately, Zhao Jie felt uneasy, fearing that Li Lin did not want to see him, or that it was inconvenient to see him, so he hurriedly explained and also expressed his determination to see Li Lin.
He bit his lip, looking nervous, waiting for Li Lin's reply.
Unexpectedly, Li Lin smiled calmly and said, "Where are you now? Come to the provincial government and meet in a teahouse later."
Hearing that Li Lin agreed to meet, Zhao Jie said excitedly, "Okay, then... I'll go over and wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up and said to the driver, "Drive to a teahouse next to the provincial government and wait for Secretary Li."
The person who drove him was his cousin Cheng Xinghan, who worked in the county forestry bureau, but he was a public servant with no rank. His usual job was to follow his boss and drive and do odd jobs.
Cheng Xinghan respected his cousin Zhao Jie, who was a member of the township party committee. On the one hand, Zhao Jie had a certain amount of power due to his position, and he could help him with many small things. On the other hand, his job was also arranged by Zhao Jie's father.
For various reasons, Cheng Xinghan obeys Zhao Jie's orders. As long as Zhao Jie gives the order, he will do whatever he is told to do without any hesitation.
Arriving at Yixin Teahouse, Zhao Jie told Cheng Xinghan to wait in the car while he picked up his handbag, looked up at the sign of the teahouse, and walked in with his head down.
Arriving at the front desk, Zhao Jie took out a thousand yuan and said to the waiter, "Open a private room and serve some better tea."
The waiter agreed and led him upstairs.
After arriving at the private room, he boiled water and waited for nearly half an hour before he sent a message to Li Lin, informing him of the location of the teahouse and the private room number.
Li Lin looked at the location and found that it was the teahouse he used to go to with Mayor Qian. It was not far from the cadre community and only took about ten minutes to walk.
At this time, Li Lan and Xu Wen were cleaning the table.
Li Lin stood up and said to the two women, "Sister, Wenwen, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."
The two women answered almost at the same time, "Okay, be careful on the road."
After saying this, both of them may have felt a little embarrassed. They smiled at each other, their faces slightly red... and lowered their heads to clean up the dishes.
In the teahouse, Zhao Jie was waiting anxiously.
He rubbed his hands nervously, thinking about what to say when he saw Li Lin.
Seeing the briefcase at his feet, he hesitated. It was the "activity fund" prepared for Li Lin, because he knew that if he wanted to be promoted now, he had to take care of everything from top to bottom. Otherwise, how could the superiors approve it unconditionally? How could the comrades below support him?
However, he still didn't understand Li Lin's temperament and hesitated whether to give him the "funding". If Li Lin misunderstood his intentions, his position in Li Lin's heart would plummet...
Giving money is too sensitive, after all. If the relationship between two people is not good enough, once this kind of thing is taken out, it is likely to end all contact between the two people.
He hesitated, nervous...
But if you want to seek a higher position, it won’t work just by talking without showing some sincerity!
He had heard that in several important departments in the county, even if you wanted to promote individual-level cadres, you had to express your opinion to the leaders...and how much you expressed was directly related to whether you could be qualified for the position.
What he is trying to achieve now is the position of deputy secretary of the Party Committee or even village head... Without spending 100,000 or 200,000 yuan on campaigning, there is no chance!
"Hey, why is it so difficult..."
While Li Lin was not there yet, Zhao Jie couldn't help but sigh.
I don't know whether it's because it was difficult for Li Lin to come here, or because I have a hard life...
suddenly.
The door of the box was pushed open.
Li Lin strode in.
As soon as they met, Li Lin asked Zhao Jie with a smile, "What's so urgent that you have to come to the provincial capital to report to me?"
"Secretary Li, please sit down and have some tea first..."
Zhao Jie quickly stood up and let Li Lin take the main seat.
