Zhao Chengqiang's hands trembled slightly as he anxiously searched the screen of his mobile phone and finally found Liang Qiming's phone number.
However, just as his finger was about to touch the dial button, his movement suddenly froze.
A flash of clarity suddenly came into his mind, and he realized that calling Liang Qiming in front of Li Lin would undoubtedly expose Liang Qiming, the hidden support behind him, to the other party. No matter from which angle, this was not a wise move.
Li Lin sat behind his desk, taking in Zhao Chengqiang's hesitation and secretly finding it funny.
Recalling last night, Qian Lingyun called me specially. On the other end of the phone, Qian Lingyun's voice was steady and powerful. He only said a few words, "Do what you have to do. Don't be soft-hearted! If anything happens, I'll support you!"
With just this simple sentence, Li Lin had roughly guessed that it must be a leader in the province who put pressure on Qian Lingyun.
But Qian Lingyun chose to withstand the pressure and let Li Lin go ahead and investigate. This trust and support made Li Lin feel confident.
Li Lin thought to himself, how capable can a provincial leader be if he can't even pass Qian Lingyun's test?
At this moment, looking at the bewildered Zhao Chengqiang in front of him, Li Lin felt that his behavior was ridiculous, but also felt pity for his blind arrogance.
It is important for a person to know himself, but Zhao Chengqiang lacks this crucial point.
He thought that as long as he made friends with a provincial department leader in the province, he could give orders to the county governor and county party secretary at will. This idea is absolutely absurd!
Although the county magistrate and the county party secretary are not high-ranking officials, they are appointed by the provincial party committee. How can they be arbitrarily influenced by a department-level official?
Li Lin's patience had already run out because of Zhao Chengqiang's various actions. Seeing that he was still pretending, he finally couldn't help but slapped the table hard with a "bang", and the documents on the desk began to vibrate.
He stared at Zhao Chengqiang with his eyes wide open, and shouted, "Zhao Chengqiang, have you acted enough?"
This sudden roar was like a thunderclap in Zhao Chengqiang's ears, instantly interrupting his thoughts.
He was so frightened that his whole body shuddered and he looked at Li Lin in horror, who had a serious face and sharp eyes. He seemed to be frozen and stood there.
Li Lin pointed his finger at the door and shouted in a voice so cold that it seemed to freeze ice, "Get out!"
Zhao Chengqiang was stunned for a moment, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, but this time he didn't dare to say a word. Like a defeated dog, he really did what Li Lin said and walked towards the door in dejection.
Before leaving, he turned back unwillingly and glared at Li Lin fiercely, as if trying to save some face.
Li Lin was not afraid at all, his eyes were like swords, and his sharp eyes seemed to say, "What can you do to me?"
Zhao Chengqiang hurried out of Li Lin's office like a lost dog. At this moment, he only wanted to escape from this place that made him lose face. He did not dare to stay in the county government for a moment and fled in panic.
It was not until he got into his luxury car that he came to his senses. Trying to calm his panic and anger, he took out his cell phone and called Liang Qiming.
The phone was connected after only two rings, which shows that Liang Qiming attached great importance to Zhao Chengqiang's call.
Zhao Chengqiang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and he spoke impatiently, "Director Liang, I went to see Li Lin today, and he actually said that he would let the Audit Bureau and the Inspection Office jointly review my company! Director Liang, you also know the situation of a company like mine, how can it withstand such a strict inspection by him? Please think of a way to save me, brother!"
Liang Qiming was also very surprised when he heard this, and asked in confusion, "This shouldn't be the case! I called Qian Lingyun last night, and he promised at the time that he would call Li Lin immediately to discuss this matter... What's going on? Could it be that Li Lin dared not even listen to Qian Lingyun's words?"
When Zhao Chengqiang heard this, he was struck by lightning, his face full of disbelief, and he asked with a trembling voice, "You mean, Secretary Qian Lingyun has already informed Li Lin?"
Liang Qiming nodded on the other end of the phone and said firmly, "I think he called last night!"
Zhao Chengqiang's throat was dry from nervousness. He swallowed hard, and continued to ask with trembling lips, "Then why did Li Lin dare to be so tough with me? Is he really not afraid of anyone?"
Liang Qiming was speechless for a moment. He really didn't understand how Qian Lingyun greeted Li Lin.
I only remember that Qian Lingyun agreed very happily at that time, and said confidently, "Director Liang, don't worry, Li Lin will definitely listen to me..."
At that time, Liang Qiming still thought that Qian Lingyun was a very sensible person. After all, everyone knew that the environmental protection inspections had been very intense in recent years, and no region dared to offend the Environmental Protection Department easily. As the director of the Environmental Protection Department, his words should still carry considerable weight locally.
But now it seems that Li Lin doesn't buy it at all. He neither gives himself face nor cares about the face of Qian Lingyun, his immediate superior.
"Damn, did I run into a fool?" Liang Qiming couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
After hearing this, Zhao Chengqiang felt hopeless, as if he was in a dark abyss and was completely at a loss.
At this moment, he was like facing a dead chess game with no life. No matter how he struggled and resisted, his vital points were always firmly grasped in Li Lin's hands.
With no other options, Zhao Chengqiang thought about it and decided to drag Wu Aiguo and Jiang Weihua onto his "chariot" in an attempt to cope with Li Lin's upcoming investigation by banding together for warmth.
