"Oh, it's good that you are vigilant. I'm just afraid that you don't realize the seriousness of the matter, so I called you to remind you. If there are any violations of discipline by cadres in your county again in a short period of time, don't blame me for criticizing you by name at the city-wide cadre meeting. I may even let you go on stage and make a self-criticism speech in front of all the cadres in the city!" Qian Lingyun's tone was calm, even a little gentle, but the words he said were like a knife stabbing into Liu Yong's heart.
Making a self-criticism speech in front of all the city’s cadres...Do I still have the face to continue serving as the county party secretary?
Liu Yong suddenly felt nervous, and his lips couldn't help but tremble. He pretended to be calm and said, "Mayor Qian, don't worry. There will never be such a violation of discipline by cadres in Shannan County again..."
"That's good..." Qian Lingyun smiled and said, "Okay, I don't have anything else to do. I will arrange to visit your county for research in the near future. We can talk when we meet."
"Okay, Mayor Qian, you are welcome to come and give us your guidance at any time... Goodbye..." Liu Yong said.
Hang up the phone.
Liu Yong felt that he had used up all his strength and was about to collapse. He slumped down on the sofa with a gloomy look on his face.
Shen Zhifei was startled, and quickly picked up the teacup and handed it over, asking with concern, "Secretary Liu, what did Mayor Qian say? What's wrong with you...?"
Liu Yong shook his head weakly, took the teacup, tremblingly put it to his mouth and took a sip, saying, "It's okay... It's okay..."
It doesn't look like everything is alright!
Liu Yong didn't say anything, and Shen Zhifei didn't know how to comfort him, so he stood up and said goodbye, "Then Secretary Liu... It's nothing, I will go back and draw up a new recommendation list..."
I heard the words “recommended list”.
Liu Yong suddenly sat up, looked at Shen Zhifei in horror, and said, "Sit down first, let me think about the list again!"
Huh? Still need to consider?
Shen Zhifei was stunned and very surprised.
Ma Qingyuan immediately perked up when he heard Liu Yong's words. He sat up straight and looked at Liu Yong silently, waiting for his next words.
Liu Yong let out a long sigh, Qian Lingyun's words still echoing in his ears. He tried to calm down and fell into a brief thought.
Qian Lingyun’s call came too coincidentally.
I was just about to overturn the table and reshuffle the cards...the phone rang!
No need to think, it must be Li Lin's work again!
His purpose is so obvious, isn't it just to prevent Zhao Jie from being cleansed out?
Haha~ If I compromise, will I be able to hold my head up in front of Li Lin in the future?
But if I insist on not letting Zhao Jie go up, given Li Lin's ruthlessness, no matter who I replace him with, they will inevitably follow Hu Zhiquan's old path!
If any more cadres are investigated...I, the county party secretary, will be dragged by Mayor Qian to the city-wide cadre meeting to make a self-criticism!
Compromise or review?
Liu Yong sighed, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said to Ma Qingyuan and Shen Zhifei, "Forget it, there is no need to recommend new candidates..."
Shen Zhifei was shocked and asked quickly, "Secretary Liu, what do you mean by this? Do you have a candidate in mind?"
Ma Qingyuan had a premonition that things were going to take a turn for the better, and he continued to look at Liu Yong in silence.
Liu Yong nodded helplessly and said, "I think what County Magistrates Ma and Li have considered is right. The ranks of section-level cadres need a new batch of blood. Since both county magistrates support Zhao Jie to preside over the work of the approval hall management office, it can be seen that Zhao Jie must be a real talent. I think, let Zhao Jie give it a try!"
Only then did Liu Yong understand the real meaning of Li Lin's departure.
That wasn't a retreat at the last minute, but... to leave Liu Yong a way out.
If Li Lin was present, first there was the notification from the Discipline Inspection Commission, and then there was pressure from Qian Lingyun... Liu Yong was the county party secretary, but he surrendered in front of Li Lin. Where was his dignity?
Ma Qingyuan and Shen Zhifei knew nothing about the inside story of the matter, and they wouldn't think much about changing their words in front of them... This saved Liu Yong's face.
Haha~ I underestimated Li Lin in the end.
I didn't expect this kid to be so ruthless and thoughtful, and to know how to give him enough face... I really don't know whether to cry or laugh.
Shen Zhifei was dumbfounded when he heard that Zhao Jie was going to be in charge of the approval hall.
He looked at Liu Yong in disbelief and said unwillingly, "Secretary Liu, you just denied Zhao Jie, why did you suddenly change your mind? Anyway, I stick to my original attitude and firmly disagree with Zhao Jie's promotion."
Liu Yong frowned and looked at Shen Zhifei, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and anger in his heart on him...
Liu Yong suddenly stood up, pointed at Shen Zhifei's nose and scolded, "Did you provide the list? Why are you objecting? Is my words not working? Do I need to warn you again, let Zhao Jie try, do you understand?"
Just go, why are you making so much noise?
Shen Zhifei looked aggrieved, but he didn't dare to refute. He wondered what was wrong with Liu Yong. He was on the same front with him just now, so why did he turn against him so suddenly?
Who the hell did I offend?
Shen Zhifei was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and stopped talking.
He knew that Liu Yong was now a beast on the verge of going crazy, so it was better not to provoke him.
Ma Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Liu Yong's hysterical behavior, he knew that Mayor Qian must have mercilessly criticized Liu Yong on the phone just now. Otherwise, how could such a proud person change his attitude so quickly...
It seems that Li Lin is doing well outside the battlefield!
After such a long time, this is the first time that I have the upper hand in the confrontation with Liu Yong, and this is all thanks to Li Lin's assistance.
This kid really has some skills!
Ma Qingyuan laughed secretly in his heart and thought silently.
