It was almost noon when Qian Lingyun finished listening to the reports from two heads of municipal units in his office.
He stood up and paced around the room, stretched his arms and legs, then walked to the window to take a breath of fresh air.
Suddenly, his eyelids twitched rapidly several times.
He is a firm believer in materialism and does not believe in what the left eye twitching means or what the right eye twitching means.
But the frequent twitching of his eyelids made him feel a little uneasy...
What's going on?
Are you too tired lately?
He made an excuse for himself, lying on the sofa and preparing to close his eyes and rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I closed my eyes, Peng Yutao called me.
He frowned, picked up the phone impatiently and answered it.
"Secretary Peng, do you have any instructions?"
"Old Qian, we will convene a standing committee meeting in half an hour to discuss the new leadership of the cotton mill and vote on recent outstanding cases...Put aside the work at hand and come to the meeting first."
What are the recent prominent examples?
What exactly is the vote about? Why do we need to be so secretive?
Qian Lingyun was unhappy, especially with Peng Yutao's commanding tone, which made him feel that he was trying to suppress him in various ways.
In order to ease the uneasiness in his heart, Qian Lingyun decided to find someone to inquire about the specific content of today's Standing Committee meeting.
Never fight a battle without preparation has always been his principle.
The more Peng Yutao tried to cover up, the more he wanted to get to the bottom of it first.
He picked up the phone and called Yang Heping, with whom he had a close relationship.
"Old Yang, have you received the notice for the meeting?"
"Just got the call. What's the matter, Lao Qian? Is there something wrong?"
"It's okay. I just want to ask you privately about your opinion on the formation of a team for the cotton mill..."
"Oh, haven't you already discussed this matter? Director Xie is old and it's time for him to retire. It's time for someone to take over. I have no objection."
Qian Lingyun smiled cunningly. The previous question was just a smokescreen. The next question was what he really wanted to ask.
He smiled and said, "What about the other matter? It requires us to vote by raising our hands. What do you think?"
Yang Heping pondered for a moment after hearing this. He thought Qian Lingyun was just worried that the topic was sensitive and it was inconvenient to talk about it on the phone... He never expected that Qian Lingyun didn't even know the content of the vote.
So he didn't think too much about it, smiled and said, "It's a bit regrettable, but after all, this kind of thing has a huge impact. I think it's not a bad idea to let the kid take a break for a while."
That kid?
Take a break first?
Qian Lingyun understood instantly, because only Yang Heping would call Li Lin "that kid" in front of him...
Damn it! Peng Yutao, you idiot! You actually wanted to do something to Li Lin behind my back?
Qian Lingyun's eyes gradually hardened, and the corners of his mouth hardened... He thought, I am the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee after all, and it's fine if you didn't inform me of the content of the standing committee meeting in advance, but now you want to openly mess with my favorite student? Isn't this embarrassing for me?
"Old Qian, you need to be more open-minded. After this, just find that kid another place to stay. Don't do anything stupid!" Yang Heping advised earnestly, his tone full of regret for Li Lin.
Qian Lingyun smiled bitterly and shook his head. What stupid thing could he do?
But we can’t just sit there and wait for Peng Yutao to bully us without fighting back!
But...what reason can I use to deal with Peng Yutao?
This is a difficult task... After all, the trouble Li Lin is in this time is quite serious, and he is also the person directly responsible.
"Okay, Lao Yang, I know what to do. Hang up now. See you later!"
Hang up the phone.
He decisively called Liu Yong again.
Soon, Liu Yong's flattering laughter came, "Mayor Qian, I was just about to call you to report on my work, but I didn't expect you to call me. What a coincidence... Hehe..."
Qian Lingyun was too lazy to exchange pleasantries with Liu Yong and asked directly, "Old Liu, what's the situation with Li Lin? Is there any room for improvement?"
Liu Yong put away his smile and said in a slightly serious tone, "Mayor Qian, I was just about to report this to you."
I didn't fucking call you. I haven't seen you report on Li Lin's matter for so many days. Do you remember it now?
hypocritical!
Qian Lingyun suppressed his anger and listened quietly.
Liu Yong said, "It is like this. This matter has now been classified as a criminal case. If it is proven that someone deliberately harmed Liu Yong and his family... Li Lin's responsibility is small. At most, it is improper handling... The most important thing is that the public opinion online is very loud, which will have a certain impact on the image of the Shannan County government."
"Oh, so Liu Zhong's paralysis and the death of his family members have nothing to do with Li Lin directly, and someone framed him?" Qian Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"It is currently impossible to confirm whether it is a false accusation... Li Lin is responsible, but not seriously," Liu Yong said.
"Yes." Qian Lingyun nodded calmly, his tense expression slightly relaxed, and then asked, "Then let me ask you, does your county committee have any opinions on how to deal with Li Lin?"
Hearing this, Liu Yong's eyes rolled... He thought that Qian Lingyun called him just to support Li Lin and didn't want Li Lin to be punished!
So, he followed Qian Lingyun's thoughts and said with a smile, "Mayor Qian, I personally think that although Li Lin has not been the deputy county chief for a long time, he has made outstanding achievements in his work during this period... Especially the approval hall he is in charge of, which has undergone earth-shaking changes and the people have responded very well... Such a capable cadre, and he is not directly responsible for this incident, I think we can give him a break and not punish him."
Hearing this, Qian Lingyun nodded with satisfaction.
That was exactly what he wanted to hear.
Although Liu Yong personally cannot represent the county party committee as a whole, his opinions can already reflect the opinions of the majority of county party committee cadres, and that is enough!
"Okay, I understand what you mean. When this matter is over, please find some time to come to the city and find a place for us to have a quick meal and have a good chat." Qian Lingyun said with a smile.
Liu Yong was flattered to be invited by Qian Lingyun. He nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll treat you when the time comes, hehe..."
After hanging up the phone, Qian Lingyun felt more confident.
At the Standing Committee meeting, if Peng Yutao does not propose to punish Li Lin, then so be it. But if he does, then have a good argument with him!
"Lu Hui!" Qian Lingyun shouted outside the door.
Lu Hui trotted in and pushed the door open. "Mayor Qian, what do you want me to do?"
"Prepare the car and go to the Municipal Party Committee!"
Lu Hui nodded in agreement and quickly made the arrangements.
Arrived at the municipal party committee meeting room.
The moment Qian Lingyun pushed the door open, he found that all the Standing Committee members had arrived, except him!
Peng Yutao just glanced at him, didn't say hello, didn't say anything, and lowered his head to drink tea.
The other members of the Standing Committee also turned their heads to look at him, with a serious expression.
Only Yang Heping, an old acquaintance, saw him come in, nodded at him and smiled.
Qian Lingyun felt unprecedented pressure.
He felt that today's meeting was a Hongmen Banquet targeting him!
PS: At the beginning of the month, I shamelessly begged everyone to give me more free gifts so that I can top the gift list. Thank you all, thank you.
