After hearing Yang Heping's suggestion of "secret investigation", Qian Lingyun did not respond immediately, but fell into deep thought.
He stared at the gloomy sky outside the office window, and all kinds of thoughts surged in his mind like a tide.
After a long time, he slowly withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly, which was regarded as his approval of Yang Heping's proposal.
Then he reached out and picked up the black telephone receiver on the desk. His slender fingers moved skillfully on the keys and dialed Li Lin's number.
After the call was connected, he said in a deep and powerful voice with an unquestionable tone, "Xiao Lin, you should come to the Municipal Party Committee immediately."
Li Lin was concentrating on reviewing an important document in the office when the phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room.
He picked up the receiver and heard Qian Lingyun's instructions, and a strong sense of doubt suddenly surged in his heart.
Qian Lingyun's tone today was completely different from the past. The seriousness and solemnity were like a cold winter wind, blowing through the receiver, making him vaguely feel that something big was about to happen.
However, he had no idea what it was and could not guess.
Li Lin put down the phone, calmed down a little, pressed the intercom button on the table, and called Zhang Yupei.
"Yupei, go arrange a car. I need to go to the Municipal Party Committee. Also, please readjust my next work arrangements." He gave instructions in an orderly manner.
Zhang Yupei walked quickly into the office and nodded in agreement.
While helping Li Lin pack his briefcase, he said in a flattering tone, "Leader, let me go with you. Maybe I can help you carry your tea cups or run errands."
Li Lin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and teased, "Oh, when did I become so bureaucratic that I can't even hold a teacup?"
Zhang Yupei scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and explained with a simple smile, "Leader, I mainly want to follow you to the Municipal Party Committee to show more faces and get acquainted with the comrades in the Municipal Party Committee Office. This will make it easier for us to communicate and coordinate in the future."
Li Lin looked at him approvingly and said earnestly, "It's a good idea to have this idea. It means you have come to your senses. In the future, you should not only build good relationships with the people in the Municipal Party Committee Office, but also the leaders of the Municipal Government Office. It will be of great benefit to your future development to make more friends in higher-level departments."
In the officialdom, it is rare to find leaders who are so considerate and plan the future for their subordinates. Most leaders are only concerned about how to climb up to higher levels and rarely consider the future of their subordinates.
Zhang Yupei felt a warm current in his heart after hearing this. He was deeply moved and a bright smile bloomed on his face. He said firmly, "Well, I will definitely remember the leader's teachings!"
Li Lin patted Zhang Yupei's shoulder gently, and then the two of them walked out of the office together, went downstairs and got into the car that had been waiting there.
The car slowly drove out of the county government compound and sped towards the municipal party committee.
The municipal party committee compound remained the same as usual, with security guards patrolling sparsely in the yard and cadres and staff coming in and out, each busy with their own things.
What is different from usual days is that every green tree in the courtyard is hung with red lanterns, swaying gently in the breeze, adding a festive atmosphere of the upcoming New Year to the entire courtyard.
Li Lin was in front, Zhang Yupei followed closely behind, and the two came to the elevator.
Zhang Yupei was quick-witted and quick-handed. He took the first step forward and pressed the up button of the elevator.
After a while, the elevator door slowly opened and two comrades from the Municipal Party Committee Office walked out.
When they looked up and saw Li Lin, their faces were immediately filled with warm smiles, and they hurriedly greeted him, "Hey, County Magistrate Li, hello!"
Li Lin also extended his hand enthusiastically and shook hands with them one by one.
In Pingyang, Li Lin is a well-known figure. Even if some people have never met him, his name and legendary experiences have long been widely circulated in the officialdom.
When people talk about him, they always say, "He was promoted by Secretary Qian."
It is also because of this that Li Lin attracts a lot of attention wherever he goes, and no cadre dares to look down on him in the slightest.
Everyone believed that Li Lin was a rising star in Pingyang's officialdom, and his future achievements were limitless.
Zhang Yupei followed behind Li Lin, watching him greet acquaintances cordially along the way, his heart filled with surprise and envy.
He had long known that Li Lin had extensive connections, but he had not expected that he could get along so well with ordinary cadres and had no condescending airs at all.
This made Zhang Yupei think of some section-level cadres in the county, who always looked down on everyone and were really ridiculous.
In the county's official ecology, section-level cadres look down on ordinary workers, deputy-section-level cadres look down on section-level cadres, section-level cadres look down on deputy-section-level cadres, and even section-level cadres look down on each other, each one more arrogant and more ostentatious than the other.
Zhang Yupei really couldn't understand what they were competing for. Apart from their level, how were they better than ordinary comrades?
Perhaps, what they are competing for is not how high their official rank is, but how strong their backers are and how many leaders they know...
Just as Zhang Yupei was daydreaming, the two had already arrived at the door of Qian Lingyun's office.
Li Lin stopped, turned around and said to Zhang Yupei, "Go to the big office and wait for me."
Zhang Yupei nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
Li Lin raised his hand and knocked on Qian Lingyun's office door.
After a moment, Qian Lingyun's deep voice came from inside, "Please come in."
