"You mean, during the time when Li Lin was dismissed? I heard...wasn't he in the provincial capital accompanying his girlfriend? What else could he be doing?"
Jiang Weihua had not yet recovered from his shock, and Zhang Yi's words aroused his curiosity.
During the time when Li Lin was dismissed from his post, everyone in the county was laughing at him, saying that he hid in the provincial capital because he didn't want to embarrass himself.
Jiang Weihua also believed it at the time, and he and Wu Aiguo laughed at Li Lin for a long time, saying that Li Lin was a lost dog who could only hide in women's pants to seek comfort.
But what Zhang Yi suddenly said today made him feel that Li Lin's presence in the provincial capital was not just to accompany his girlfriend.
Zhang Yi did not keep anyone in suspense, but was very cautious about what he was going to say next. He first closed the window, then looked at the door to make sure it was tightly closed. Only then did he sit back at his desk with peace of mind, looked at Jiang Weihua with a smile, and said mysteriously, "During the time when Li Lin was dismissed, he did something earth-shattering in the provincial capital. Since it is confidential, I only heard a few words from my friends in the provincial party committee. You just need to know it yourself, but don't go out and talk about it."
Jiang Weihua nodded woodenly, "Well, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."
Zhang Yi nodded, and then said seriously, "Li Lin is not idle in the provincial capital. It is said that Secretary Wang of the Provincial Party Committee personally assigned him a task to secretly deal with the former governor Lu Chengze!"
"Lu... Lu Chengze?" Jiang Weihua's eyes were filled with fear. "He is a ministerial-level cadre, and Li Lin is only a county-level official. What can he do to Lu Chengze?"
Although he was skeptical about Zhang Yi's words, Jiang Weihua still couldn't hide his shock. After all, there is no smoke without fire. Since such a voice came out from the provincial party committee, it was obvious that Li Lin did play a certain role in the Lu Chengze incident.
Seeing that Jiang Weihua didn't believe it, Zhang Yi smiled and said firmly, "I didn't believe it at first, but it wasn't just one person saying this. I heard this rumor so many times that I couldn't help but believe it. Some people said that Li Lin had a close relationship with the team leader sent by the Yanjing Discipline Inspection Commission, so the Provincial Party Committee specially appointed Li Lin to handle this case. Not only Lu Chengze, but also Deputy Governor Chu Guoan, Provincial Public Security Bureau Wang Qirui and..."
When he said "there is more", Zhang Yi looked around vigilantly to confirm that there were no outsiders. Then he whispered to Jiang Weihua, "There is more. I heard that Peng Yutao's entry was also Li Lin's doing!"
Jiang Weihua's eyes widened even wider, and his heartbeat quickened due to nervousness... He thought that if these major cases of the Discipline Inspection Commission were handled by Li Lin, it showed how terrifying the power behind Li Lin was... He was a deputy county-level cadre and he still wanted to go against a person like Li Lin. Isn't that like lighting a light in the toilet... looking for death?
Thinking of this, Jiang Weihua couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and fell into deep fear and anxiety. However, in order to prevent Zhang Yi from looking down on him, he still pretended to be calm and smiled awkwardly, "Mayor Zhang... please don't scare me... He is a county-level official, how could he be so powerful?"
Zhang Yi sneered, seeing through Jiang Weihua's fear, but he did not expose him. Instead, he further explained, "Weihua, sometimes you look at things superficially... Don't you think that since the provincial party committee has said this, it means that these things really exist. Haven't you seen how long Chu Guoan and Wang Qirui from the Provincial Public Security Department haven't appeared in public? Doesn't this mean that they are really in trouble?"
"And wow, think about it, when Peng Yutao was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation, wasn't Qian Lingyun the direct beneficiary? Maybe Li Lin is not as powerful as we thought, but Qian Lingyun may have been hiding his abilities! Li Lin is a knife he has exposed, and everything may have been arranged by Qian Lingyun... Tsk tsk tsk, think about it, Qian Lingyun actually has the ability to place Li Lin in the investigation team of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he is really amazing!"
Jiang Weihua listened to Zhang Yi's words, swallowed nervously, and said in a trembling voice, "If you say it was Secretary Qian's trick, it's a little credible... After all, after getting rid of Peng Yutao, he directly took the position of the top leader of the municipal party committee. He got real benefits! So it seems natural for him to do all this."
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "So, whether it's Li Lin or Qian Lingyun... we shouldn't offend any of them easily. After all, leaders who are several levels higher than us have fallen into their hands. With our size, how long can we last under their hands? Haha... Weihua, a man who knows the times is a hero. You, it's time to wake up!"
Zhang Weihua subconsciously reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, licked his lips that were dry from nervousness and fear, and said tremblingly, "Mayor Zhang, what you said is... to get into the officialdom, you have to respect those who are more powerful than you... I shouldn't have rashly argued with Li Lin, but now that it has happened, do you think there is still room for easing it?"
Seeing Jiang Weihua give in, Zhang Yi smiled with satisfaction and said, "Your attitude is right. There are no trivial matters in the officialdom, and there are no grudges that cannot be resolved. Besides, you are just arguing and there is no actual conflict of interest. I think you should first admit your mistake to Li Lin and see how he reacts! If it doesn't work, I will set up a table for you at Dongsheng tonight and invite Li Lin over. I will be a peacemaker and mediate for you. I think if I invite Li Lin to dinner, he will still give me this face."
Jiang Weihua nodded reluctantly. He originally wanted to ask Zhang Yi to support him and give Li Lin a warning, but he didn't expect that he would end up inviting Li Lin to dinner.
This sudden change was hard for him to accept, but he had to accept it. At this moment, he felt mixed emotions...
