Coming out of the hospital, the sunlight was a bit dazzling. Li Lin subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and got into the black official car side by side with Liu Yong.
Although he was dismissed from his post, his work relationship was still in the county and Liu Yong was still his leader.
Since the leader wants to talk, we have to give him face.
The car slowly drove into the county party committee compound and stopped steadily.
The two walked into the elevator together. Because it was working hours, comrades from the county committee were coming in and out on every floor.
The elevator door slowly opened, and when the county party committee staff saw Liu Yong, their faces were instantly filled with warm smiles, and they shouted, "Secretary Liu, you're back!"
But when their eyes fell on Li Lin beside Liu Yong, their smiles froze instantly, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. Then, with a cautious tentativeness, they took the initiative to nod and greet him politely, "Hello, County Magistrate Li..."
The doubt in their voices was obvious, as if everyone was secretly wondering, wasn't Li Lin dismissed? Why was he still with Secretary Liu? Was he going to be re-employed?
Li Lin naturally noticed these strange looks, but he just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a polite smile, and responded lightly.
He had experienced this kind of scene of being watched and speculated about too many times and had long been accustomed to it.
In his opinion, the opinions of these people would not have any influence on his future path at all. He even secretly laughed at them in his heart and jokingly called them "insignificant passers-by."
It was precisely through constant tempering in such situations that he gradually developed an invulnerable and extremely strong heart, and the disturbances in the outside world could no longer easily shake him.
As soon as they arrived at Liu Yong's office, the secretary was quick to pour Li Lin a cup of steaming hot tea.
Li Lin nodded slightly and said thank you softly. His expression was as calm as water. He showed neither arrogance because of the attentive treatment nor humility because of the current situation.
Liu Yong waved to the secretary, indicating "it's okay". The secretary understood, gently closed the door and walked out.
At this time, Liu Yong and Li Lin were the only ones left in the room.
Liu Yong slowly sat down on the sofa next to Li Lin, with a seemingly friendly smile on his face, but that smile concealed a hint of imperceptible anxiety. He asked with a smile, "Xiao Lin, now the truth has been revealed. Everyone knows that you were framed. Did Secretary Qian of the Municipal Party Committee tell you when you will be reinstated as deputy county magistrate?"
Before Li Lin could answer, he leaned forward again and continued anxiously, "Look, now that Old Ma is in jail, the county government is leaderless and in chaos. A lot of work in the county still depends on you to do a good job."
When Li Lin heard this, he instantly understood Liu Yong's intention. He just wanted to test him and find out what position Qian Lingyun would assign him next, whether he would continue to stay in the county or return to a unit in the city.
Although Qian Lingyun told Li Lin in person that he intended to appoint him as county magistrate, no documents have been issued yet and everything is full of uncertainty.
Therefore, he can only pretend to know nothing about the Municipal Party Committee’s arrangements for his work.
Li Lin smiled and said to Liu Yong calmly, "Secretary Liu, I was just about to ask you for advice. Now that the cases of Peng Yutao and Ma Qingyuan have been settled, shouldn't the county report to the city and have me rehabilitated as soon as possible? Look how busy Secretary Qian is... I did see him, but he didn't have time to tell me anything about me. Secretary Liu, please tell Secretary Qian about my case as soon as possible. You know I can't sit still, and I've been very idle during this period."
These words cleverly threw the question back to Liu Yong, making him even more confused, and the doubt on his face became more and more intense.
Liu Yong's brows unconsciously furrowed as he listened to Li Lin's words. He thought to himself, this is impossible. Li Lin is Qian Lingyun's most respected person in Pingyang. How could he keep silent about his affairs?
Soon, he had his own guess in his mind.
Either Li Lin was telling the truth, or Qian Lingyun didn't value Li Lin that much now.
Either Li Lin was hiding something, or Qian Lingyun not only arranged a new position for him, but also a very important one, so Li Lin did not dare to reveal it casually.
Liu Yong raised his eyes and stared at Li Lin's indifferent expression. The more he looked, the more he felt that the latter possibility was more likely.
Liu Yong was acutely aware of this, but he remained calm and chuckled twice, trying to hide his inner curiosity. He then continued to probe, "Xiao Lin, I have already mentioned your matter to Secretary Qian, but Secretary Qian said that he had other plans for you and asked me not to worry... He didn't tell me what the plans were... Could it be that he really didn't reveal anything to you?"
He did mention it to Qian Lingyun, but it was just a casual remark. Qian Lingyun told him to wait for news at the time and didn't say anything else.
The less Qian Lingyun said, the more curious he became. After all, Li Lin's arrangement involved the overall adjustment of the county government team, so it was natural for him to care. Therefore, he kept probing, hoping to get some clues from Li Lin.
Li Lin still had a calm face, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "No... He didn't tell me anything... I said Secretary Liu, I am your soldier. What arrangements does the Municipal Party Committee have for me? Would you mind going to Secretary Qian to report it?"
Li Lin knew clearly that anything that had not been concluded could not be revealed even if he was beaten to death, lest it cause unnecessary trouble before the matter was finalized and eventually lead to the failure of the project.
