Everyone had a look of confusion on their faces, and their hearts were beating fast - Damn, they had just belittled Zhang Yupei, what if he was re-employed by the leader, wouldn't that be a slap in their face?
Zhang Yupei knocked on the door of Li Lin's office with excitement.
"Come in."
Zhang Yupei got Li Lin's permission and pushed the door open and walked in.
"County Magistrate Li, do you have any instructions?" Zhang Yupei asked cautiously with a smile.
Although he knew Li Lin before, Li Lin is now the deputy county magistrate, while he is just an ordinary employee in the government office. There is a huge difference in their identities and status, so he couldn't help feeling restrained.
Li Lin waved and said with a smile, "Come in and sit down and talk. We are old friends. Don't be so restrained."
As he spoke, Li Lin stood up and walked to the tea cabinet, picked up the teapot and prepared to pour tea for Zhang Yupei.
Zhang Yupei, whose butt had just touched the sofa, saw Li Lin's action and stood up reflexively, stopped Li Lin and said, "County Magistrate Li, I can do it..."
Li Lin had no choice but to hand the tea bottle to Zhang Yupei and let him pour it himself.
Zhang Yupei only filled Li Lin's cup but did not pour water for himself.
Li Lin asked him puzzledly, "Why don't you pour yourself a glass?"
Zhang Yupei waved his hands repeatedly, flattered and said, "I... I'm not thirsty. I've been drinking water in the big office for most of the day..."
In fact, he had been busy in the big office for the whole morning and had not had time to drink a sip of water.
He was too reserved in front of Li Lin. He was a subordinate, an ordinary employee of the government office, and was specifically responsible for serving the county leaders. He just had to watch the leaders drink water. How could he have the qualifications to drink tea and chat with the county leaders?
This is what he thought, and he didn't think it was humble to think this way... He just felt that being cautious and leaving a good impression on Li Lin was better than anything else.
Compared with the difficulties in one’s career, what does being a little thirsty matter?
What's wrong with being looked down upon?
As long as there is still a chance to get up, these past humility will become a beautiful story among people in the future!
"Oh." Seeing that Zhang Yupei was still very reserved, Li Lin didn't know what to say, so he went straight to the point, "Yupei, after Chang Guochao was dismissed, have you been working in the municipal government office? Have you ever thought about changing your unit, or working with a new leader?"
When it comes to this topic, Zhang Yupei smiled awkwardly and said, "It's already good that I can do something in the government now. You should have heard that I was kicked out of the Organization Department by Minister Shen. Most units are afraid of offending Minister Shen, so no one dares to use me. If it weren't for Director Wang to withstand the pressure, I wouldn't even have the opportunity to serve Chang Guochao..."
Zhang Yupei spoke very clearly, without hiding anything, which showed that he trusted and had expectations for Li Lin.
Otherwise, he could have just made up an excuse or said a few words to deal with it. There was no need to say anything about offending Shen Zhifei. What if Li Lin was not the kind of leader with great courage that he imagined? How could he go against Shen Zhifei and use him, a man who was demoted from the Organization Department?
Li Lin was very calm. Apart from his admiration for Zhang Yupei, his face did not reveal much surprise.
Shen Zhifei was a mean person, Li Lin had known this for a long time.
A person who can offend a villain actually proves that he must be an upright person.
Li Lin smiled and nodded at him, and said straight to the point, "How about it, are you interested in helping me?"
ah?
Zhang Yupei was stunned.
He understood what Li Lin meant, but he felt like he was dreaming and his face was full of disbelief.
He didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly. Just now he was a despised errand boy, but now he was rescued by the county leaders.
He was excited inside, but appeared calm on the surface. He slowly stood up, looked at Li Lin with gratitude, and said modestly, "County Magistrate Li, I am willing to serve you. I am very happy to serve you, but I am not confident in my own abilities. I am afraid that I cannot satisfy you and will hinder you."
Li Lin smiled and comforted him, "You don't have to be so nervous. Just follow me for a while and try it out. If you feel that I'm not a good leader or that you're not happy working with me, you can tell me and I'll try to transfer you to another unit."
"On the other hand, if I think you are incompetent and unsuitable for the secretary job, I will replace you without hesitation. The cooperation between the two of us is a two-way choice. Do you still feel pressured when I say this?"
Two-way choice?
I have worked for so many years and met so many leaders... No one has ever proposed a two-way choice...
What kind of situation is this?
Zhang Yupei was in a trance, feeling as if his head was hit by a thunderbolt.
He looked at Li Lin, who had a gentle attitude in front of him, and was deeply moved.
"County Magistrate Li, from now on I will be your soldier, always at your service!"
