Li Lin sat in the office and couldn't help laughing as he listened to Hu Xiaoxing describing Zhao Jie's speech at the first general staff meeting.
He was also very surprised. He never expected that Zhao Jie, this "dandy boy", could actually say such lofty words. He really underestimated him.
After all, he was born in a cadre family and was influenced by the people around him. He has a much stronger foundation for politics than ordinary people. Once he gets the hang of it, he will sooner or later be able to thrive in the officialdom.
"You were right about him. Zhao Jie is quite capable. He actually used this kind of 'burn the boats' tactic. He was not afraid that the employees would overturn his desk on the spot. It's quite interesting..." Li Lin said with a smile, his tone showing admiration for Zhao Jie.
Hu Xiaoxing smiled and said, "I was also surprised at first. I didn't expect Director Zhao to have such a high position. When he spoke his truth, everyone was convinced and no one dared to stand up and refute him."
Ever since he had a private conversation with Li Lin about his father Hu Zhiquan's case, he has admired Li Lin's behavior. He knows that Li Lin is an upright man, and he is also aware that the mistakes his father made will sooner or later be held accountable by the Discipline Inspection Commission, so he will not hate Li Lin because of this matter.
On the contrary, he was somewhat grateful to Li Lin. If Li Lin had not pointed out the chaos in the approval hall, Hu Zhiquan would have gone further and further down this wrong path and would not be able to turn back. In the end, he would definitely receive a much more severe punishment than he is now, and it was unclear whether he could keep his public office or even be sentenced.
Later, after being confirmed as the deputy director of the management office by the county party committee, he immediately found Li Lin and expressed to him that he would obey the organization's arrangements and do his best to change the current chaos in the approval hall.
Li Lin also had a good impression of Hu Xiaoxing, the man with a mustache. First of all, he took the initiative to come to Li Lin for his father Hu Zhiquan, and he did not put forward any excessive conditions or say any threatening words, which proved that this young man knew the overall situation and was aware of the general situation. These were not considered highlights for an old cadre, but for a young man in his twenties, this young man seemed very calm.
Hu Xiaoxing continued, "County Magistrate Li, I am not here today to report to you about the work of the approval hall. Director Zhao will report to you in detail about the work. I just want to talk to you about my personal ideas and humbly ask you for advice on how to carry out the work. After all, I was just a nominal cadre in the county party committee office before, and I have no experience in being a leader. Learning more from you will help me grow."
Hu Xiaoxing said this very modestly. On the surface, he was asking for advice and learning from Li Lin, but in reality he was deepening Li Lin's impression of him through conversation and improving the relationship between the two parties.
Although Li Lin is not a person who likes to preach, nor does he like to be a teacher.
But in the face of Hu Xiaoxing's goodwill, Li Lin couldn't just reject it. He smiled faintly and said, "Don't mention these empty words about learning from me in the future. I treat you the same as Zhao Jie. If you encounter any difficulties in your work and life, I will always be your solid backing. On the contrary, I am also very strict with you. If you do something that harms the interests of the public, even if the Discipline Inspection Commission doesn't find you, I will not let you off easily."
...solid backing?
Hu Xiaoxing was surprised. He didn't expect Li Lin to treat him the same way he treated Zhao Jie. He felt flattered.
He stood up excitedly and swore, "County Magistrate Li, don't worry, I, Hu Xiaoxing, will never do anything that goes against my conscience, let alone harm the interests of others."
Looking at Hu Xiaoxing with a serious face, Li Lin smiled and nodded at him, gave him an affirmative look, and said nothing more.
...
In the afternoon, the government building was very quiet.
Yang Shuangping from the Education Bureau found Li Lin with the list of newly recruited teachers.
Ever since Li Lin asked him about the teacher assignment last time, he has kept this matter in mind.
Especially when he saw Hu Zhiquan being dismissed from his post, he felt even more uneasy.
In order to supplement teacher resources, the county has plans and arrangements to recruit teachers almost every year.
However, every year a considerable number of children of local cadres take part in recruitment examinations, and after passing the examinations they are assigned to positions unrelated to education through connections.
As a result, a small amount of educational resources were lost and many towns were unable to replenish their teaching staff as originally planned.
As the director of education, he has an unshirkable responsibility for such matters.
To put it mildly, this is called favoritism and fraud. To put it seriously, this is a waste of national resources!
He was afraid that Li Lin would use this incident to punish him and make him suffer the same fate as Hu Zhiquan.
After much thought, he finally decided to confess his mistakes to Li Lin, hoping to gain Li Lin's forgiveness and stop holding him accountable.
Yang Shuangping walked in the somewhat empty corridor with a briefcase under his arm, listening to the echo of his footsteps. His heart seemed to be constantly knocked by something, and he was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
It is not difficult to see from the incident of Hu Zhiquan that Li Lin is a leader with a very tough hand. If he dislikes someone or something, he will definitely find a way to get rid of him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel in awe of Li Lin. He wondered if Li Lin would easily forgive him given his temper. Suddenly, he felt very unconfident about himself.
When he reached the door of Li Lin's office, he raised his hand and hesitated for a moment, thinking that since he was already here he might as well make the best of it, so he made up his mind and knocked on Li Lin's door.
Following Li Lin's loud "Come in".
Yang Shuangping quickly adjusted his mentality, pushed the door and walked in.
Without waiting for Li Lin to greet him, Yang Shuangping took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Lin with a smile, saying respectfully, "County Magistrate Li, I hope I am not disturbing you. Have a cigarette..."
Li Lin looked up and saw that the person coming was Yang Shuangping. He refused the cigarette he handed over and said, "I don't smoke. Please sit down."
