"But we can't make the wrong decision just because we are afraid of certain people!"
"My position is very clear. The Lu family's illegal buildings must be demolished. Only in this way can we give an explanation to the tens of thousands of people in Weishui Township!"
"Li Lin, you are too stubborn!"
Yang Ping stood up angrily, slammed the door and left.
Wang Changhai almost laughed out loud, and immediately stood up and chased after Yang Ping, "Village Chief Yang, why are you doing this? No matter how difficult the problem is, we can discuss it slowly with Secretary Li!"
He deliberately chased Yang Ping in the corridor and shouted, just to let all the cadres and staff see that the secretary and the village head were not getting along!
After chasing after Yang Ping and shouting for a long time, Yang Ping walked into her office and slammed the door shut.
A smile instantly appeared on Wang Changhai's face. He knew that his plan had succeeded!
He quickly returned to Li Lin's room and said regretfully, "Secretary Li, don't be angry. Women are impatient."
This is a typical case of sowing discord.
He thought Li Lin would complain to him about Yang Ping.
In this way, he had something to say about Li Lin, and when he passed it on to Yang Ping's ears, their relationship was immediately broken!
Unexpectedly, Li Lin didn't buy it at all.
Let's get back to the point. "Chairman Wang, you are an elder in the village. What do you think about Lu Tianen's illegal construction?"
"Huh?" Wang Changhai was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Li Lin to still be thinking about this matter, so he smiled and said, "At first, Township Chief Yang and I agreed that it would be better to cause less trouble for the township."
"But now after listening to what you said, Secretary Li, I suddenly agree with you. I think it will be hard to convince the public if the illegal building of the Lu family is not demolished!"
His words were very clever. Even if Yang Ping was present and heard his remarks, she would only transfer her anger to Li Lin.
Li Lin nodded but did not make a decision immediately.
"Gather the team members and let's discuss this matter in detail to see if we can come up with a proper and feasible solution that can both demolish the illegal buildings and avoid bringing disaster upon ourselves."
Wang Changhai nodded repeatedly, agreed, and went out to call the team members to a meeting.
He laughed secretly in his heart. Li Lin was still too naive. With the power of the Lu family, whoever touched their family's interests would surely get into trouble.
Besides, he, Li Lin, is the mortal enemy who brought down Lu Yu Ming!
Soon, all the team members except Yang Ping arrived.
Wang Changhai first reported the situation of Lu Tianen’s illegal construction.
Then, Li Lin got straight to the point and said, "Please share your opinions on how to deal with this matter."
Because they had discussed this with Wang Changhai beforehand, the three decided to incite Li Lin to commit suicide, vowing to make him offend the Lu family to death.
So Liu Ming took the lead and said, "Secretary Li, I think this incident has had a very bad impact on our township government.
Many ordinary people are discussing privately that our township government is Lu Tianen’s backer.
So no one has dared to demolish his house. In order to eliminate this negative public opinion, my opinion is that it must be demolished!"
Chen Hao then said, "Secretary Li, I have only been in the village for a short time, but I have also heard a lot of negative public opinion.
They said that our Weishui Township and the Lu family were in collusion and were corrupt for personal gain... I think it’s time for the township government to use some means to restore the government’s credibility.”
Everyone else expressed their opinions, and except Zhao Jie, they all agreed with Li Lin's demolition of the Lu family's illegal building.
Finally, Li Lin asked Zhao Jie, "Commissioner Zhao, what is your opinion?"
Zhao Jie chuckled, "Secretary, your opinion is my opinion. I will execute whatever you arrange!"
Damn, this flatterer!
Everyone rolled their eyes at him and looked down on him.
"Okay, it's settled. The illegal buildings in Lujia Village must be demolished. I'll notify you later when and how to demolish them!"
After everyone left.
Zhao Jie stayed alone.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Li Lin asked him.
Zhao Jie hesitantly said, "Uh, Secretary Li, there is something I am not sure whether I should say or not."
"Just speak up, even if you're wrong, I won't blame you."
Zhao Jie mustered up his courage and said, "Secretary, you may have heard of the Lu family's background, but you may not know how powerful their family is."
"Lu Yuming's predecessor as party secretary was inexplicably transferred away within a month because he dismissed Lu Tianen from his position as branch secretary."
"Some people say that they offended the Lu family, and some say that they blocked Lu Yuming's way. In short, his family's methods are very evil."
"Secretary, I have no other intention in saying this. I support any decision you make!"
Zhao Jie looked a little unnatural because he didn't know whether he should say these words to Li Lin.
It would be bad if Li Lin misunderstood that he was delivering a message on behalf of the Lu family!
Li Lin smiled calmly, "Thank you for telling me this, but now that I have made the decision, I have to do it."
He could feel that Zhao Jie said this with good intentions, and he hoped that Li Lin could think of a retreat in advance.
Seeing Li Lin's kind smile towards him, Zhao Jie felt a lot more relaxed.
The reason why he said this to Li Lin was, on the one hand, to please him, and on the other hand, he was gambling!
I bet that Li Lin’s background and connections are strong enough that even the Lu family doesn’t dare to provoke him!
As long as I make the right bet and become Li Lin's confidant in the future, won't my rapid rise to prominence be just around the corner?
