He clenched his fist in anger and slammed it lightly on Zhang Yi's desk to express his dissatisfaction with Li Lin. He then said, "Mayor Zhang, can you imagine how it feels to be humiliated in public? I don't even have the face to work in the county government anymore! No matter where I go, people point fingers at me. I'm going crazy and about to collapse. Mayor Zhang, you must help me vent my anger!"
When Zhang Yi heard the name "Li Lin", the smile on his face obviously faded a lot, and in the end, his face became even more solemn.
He raised his hand to signal Jiang Weihua not to get excited and to sit down and talk slowly if he had anything to say.
Jiang Weihua also realized that his emotions were out of control, so he sat down on the sofa again awkwardly, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank the tea in one breath.
Zhang Yi asked gloomily, "Weihua, is there any... grudge between you and Li Lin?"
Jiang Weihua shook his head, "Before today, no! I don't even bother to deal with people like him. Who would have a grudge against him?"
Zhang Yi was puzzled and frowned, "That's strange. I don't think Li Lin is unreasonable. Why would he make things difficult for you for no reason?"
Jiang Weihua sneered, "Mayor Zhang, you may not know that Li Lin is not a good person. He is a powerful figure in the county. Not to mention me, even Secretary Liu Yong, I guess he doesn't take me seriously. He acts too high-profile, too arrogant, and his methods of bullying people are too cruel... It is no exaggeration to say that there is no cadre above the section level in the county who does not tremble when he sees him... I don't think a person as arbitrary as him is worthy of being the county magistrate!"
Soon, Zhang Yi realized something from Jiang Weihua's remarks.
He knew Li Lin to some extent. To put it nicely, he was a man of great courage. To put it bluntly, he was stubborn and self-willed. Apart from Qian Lingyun, he probably looked down on everyone.
But...it is unlikely that Jiang Weihua was targeted for no reason. Something must have happened in the meantime. Since Jiang Weihua is unwilling to say it, it proves that he, Jiang Weihua, is not right and is too embarrassed to speak up...In this case, he cannot rashly speak for Jiang Weihua.
Li Lin is Qian Lingyun's right-hand man. Wouldn't it be a blatant disrespect to Qian Lingyun to rashly blame Li Lin?
Now, Qian Lingyun is the top leader of Pingyang, and he still needs Qian Lingyun's help. He also hopes that he can help him realize his dream of becoming the executive vice mayor. At this time, he must not have any unpleasantness with Qian Lingyun.
After thinking this through, Zhang Yi smiled and comforted Jiang Weihua, "He just criticized you a few times. It's nothing. After all, Li Lin is now the county magistrate and you are his subordinate. Sometimes you should be tolerant when you should. After all, the overall situation is more important... If I call Li Lin directly to speak for you, wouldn't someone say that I, Zhang Yi, interfered with local administration? After all, he didn't make any obvious mistakes."
This statement was very clear, which meant that Jiang Weihua should be patient and it was not convenient for him to speak for him now.
But Jiang Weihua refused to give in. He glared and said, "Mayor Zhang, this is not a question of whether to tolerate or not! He directly deprived me of my management rights over the county government at the meeting today. If I don't give him a warning, I guess he will deprive me of my management rights over urban and rural construction next. If that happens, I will become a deputy county magistrate in name only, and a laughing stock of everyone in the county government. That's why I came to beg you, Mayor Zhang, to speak for me! Let those scoundrels see who I, Jiang Weihua, am. I, Jiang Weihua, have support and a backer. Not everyone can move me!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yi frowned.
I thought to myself, if Jiang Weihua was really deprived of the right to be in charge of urban and rural construction, then the bosses under him would have to do fewer projects in the future, and I would get fewer benefits... Thinking about it this way, it is really a bit of a pity!
However, he just felt a little regretful. No matter Li Lin's background or the current situation, even if he had to give up the engineering project in Shannan County in the future, he would never conflict with Li Lin.
He sighed and said helplessly to Jiang Weihua, "Weihua, I think it would be better if you take the initiative to apologize to Li Lin and express your position. I think with Li Lin's temper and for the overall interests of Shannan County, he shouldn't make things too difficult for you. Just bear with it and bow your head to him. After all, only by bearing it can you seek perfection! Sometimes, for the sake of your own interests, you still have to give up your dignity when it's time."
Jiang Weihua was so shocked by Zhang Yi's words that he was speechless. He stood there in a daze, stunned.
He could never have imagined that Zhang Yi's tone was surprisingly consistent with Liu Yong's, and neither of them was willing to have a head-on conflict with Li Lin for him.
He couldn't figure out why this was happening.
Is there anything else so scary about Li Lin besides Qian Lingyun?
Finally, Jiang Weihua couldn't hold it in any longer and asked out the confusion that was weighing on his heart. He asked in disbelief, "Mayor Zhang, why are you all so afraid of offending Li Lin?"
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "What are you talking about? Who would be afraid of offending him? He is just Secretary Qian's right-hand man, and sometimes Secretary Qian's spokesperson in Pingyang. Don't look at him as just a county magistrate now. I estimate that it won't be long before Liu Yong has to give way to him... In a few years, he will be the new upstart in the city! That's why I advise you not to go against him. It will do you no good."
The new rich in town?!
Jiang Weihua couldn't believe it. He shook his head in denial and said, "Mayor Zhang, this is just speculation, right? Secretary Liu is not yet of retirement age. How could he give up his position to Li Lin so soon?"
Zhang Yi smiled meaningfully, took a sip of tea, looked at Jiang Weihua who had a confused look on his face, and just smiled without saying a word.
Jiang Weihua looked at Zhang Yi's smile and felt a throbbing in his heart and his scalp tingling...
He thought, Li Lin is only in his twenties, and he is not satisfied with being the youngest county chief in the province, but he wants to be the county party secretary in a short time? This is rare in the country!
He was so surprised that he kept his mouth open and forgot to close it for a long time.
Suddenly, Zhang Yi said mysteriously, "Weihua, you still don't know much about Li Lin. If you hear about his deeds in the provincial capital, you will probably regret offending him."
