In an instant, a funny and absurd thought flashed through Li Lin's mind.
He thought to himself, could it be that Qian Lingyun has fallen in love with Wei Minmin?
In order to get close to her legitimately, he transferred her to the Municipal Party Committee Office as deputy director regardless of other people's opinions?
Thinking of this, Li Lin's heart skipped a beat. He just hoped that all this was just his guess.
Li Lin was stunned on the spot for a moment, with the teacup in his hand resting at his lips, motionless.
Seeing Li Lin like this, Wei Minmin's eyes were full of confusion, and she asked softly, "Hey, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you talking?"
Li Lin suddenly came back to his senses, took a sip of tea, calmed down, and said with a smile, "Gold will always shine. Director Wei, you work so hard, and the leaders will see it sooner or later."
Wei Minmin nodded slightly and said with deep feeling, "You are really enviable. You have been promoted all the way from the township party committee secretary to the county magistrate. You are the real shining gold."
At this moment, Wei Minmin put her legs together, folded her hands on her knees, and looked at Li Lin with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
Li Lin seemed unaware, put down his teacup, smiled and stood up to say goodbye, "Okay, I've sat down. Director Wei is welcome to come to Shannan County to guide our work when he is free in the future."
Wei Minmin's eyes flashed with reluctance, but seeing Li Lin's firm attitude, she could only purse her lips, smiled and nodded, saying, "Well, I can't say I'm guiding you, but I'll go and see your work environment when I have a chance."
As she spoke, she stood up, bent down to open the drawer of her desk, took out a small and exquisite box, turned around and handed it to Li Lin, "This is a signature pen given by a friend. It's very exquisite. I can't use it, so I'll give it to you."
Seeing this, Li Lin quickly declined, "I came here empty-handed, but I want to leave with a gift. How can I be so embarrassed?"
Wei Minmin insisted on putting the box into Li Lin's hands, "The gift is small but the sentiment is great. Just consider it as a commemoration of our working together in the reorganization office."
Li Lin opened the box and took a look. Inside was a golden signature pen with an eye-catching brand, exquisite workmanship, and sparkling brilliance.
Until this moment, Li Lin still couldn't understand why Wei Minmin gave him a pen as a souvenir. From what she said, it sounded like she was saying goodbye.
Wei Minmin accompanied Li Lin to the elevator before waving goodbye to him.
To be honest, Li Lin didn't have much of a good impression of Wei Minmin at first. He thought she was a typical second-generation official. She had lived a wealthy life since childhood and was highly respected. Even after entering society, her every move revealed an overbearing air.
But when he saw her today, he found that this woman also had her lovely qualities.
People always change. As the ancients said, "When you meet someone after three days, you should look at him with new eyes." What's more, I haven't seen him for several months. I really shouldn't look at her now with the same eyes as before.
At the same time, the news that Jiang Weihua was detained and investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection spread rapidly in Pingyang area like a whirlwind, and for a time, it became the focus of heated discussion among everyone.
When Zhao Chengqiang and Wu Aiguo learned the news, they were immediately panicked and urgently met together to discuss countermeasures.
The two sat opposite each other, both with sad faces and full of worries.
Wu Aiguo frowned and said with a bitter face, "Old Zhao, the situation is not good this time. If things go wrong, we will all suffer! We must find a way to remedy the situation quickly..."
Zhao Chengqiang appeared calm on the surface, but his trembling hands revealed his inner nervousness when he lit a cigarette.
He took a deep breath of cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke. "I thought that Li Lin would transfer Jiang Weihua away and the matter would be over. I didn't expect that he would be so ruthless and want to bring him down completely... I really regret it now. I shouldn't have provoked Li Lin. Isn't it better for me to do business quietly? Alas..."
Wu Aiguo rolled his eyes at Zhao Chengqiang in anger, "What's the point of saying this now? Jiang Weihua has been arrested. If he reveals everything we did in Shannan County, I'm afraid we will be the next ones to be taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission!"
After hearing this, Zhao Chengqiang slammed his cigarette butt into the ashtray, stared at Wu Aiguo angrily and said, "What's the point of you telling me all this? What can I do? You are the executive deputy head of Shannan County. I have given you so much money over the years to smooth over the relationship. How many municipal party committee leaders have you won over? How many provincial party committee leaders? Isn't it time to use these relationships? Don't tell me that all that money has gone down the drain and was wasted!!"
"You! Who are you scolding?" Wu Aiguo stood up suddenly, his face flushed with anger, his expression distorted, and his whole body trembling slightly.
Zhao Chengqiang was not to be outdone, and sneered, "Whoever takes my money and doesn't do anything is a useless person, a dog!"
Wu Aiguo's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly sneered, "Okay, now you want to turn against me, right? Fine! Then let's each take care of ourselves and find connections to save our lives! You are right, I have spent a lot of money on provincial and municipal leaders over the years, from provincial and ministerial level to municipal party committee leaders, there will always be someone who will come forward to help me settle things! If you don't want me to take care of you, I am too lazy to do it!"
The two of them immediately fell out, and the atmosphere in the room became tense.
In fact, Wu Aiguo was just speaking in anger to vent his anger.
Although he has established a lot of connections over the years, he himself has no idea how many people will truly help him.
Zhao Chengqiang was frightened by his words. His face instantly became embarrassed and he felt extremely regretful. He regretted that he shouldn't have lost his temper at Wu Aiguo and shouldn't have said hurtful words to him.
After all, if Wu Aiguo really had some useful connections, he didn't want to miss this life-saving opportunity.
Just as Wu Aiguo turned around angrily and was about to leave, Zhao Chengqiang quickly stood up and called him loudly, forcing a self-deprecating smile on his face, "Brother Wu, I just said those words in anger... If you really have any relationship with him, you must not stand by and watch him die."
Wu Aiguo turned around slowly, his face still gloomy.
After all, the two of them are on the same boat. Having one more person to take care of each other always means more hope.
His expression eased a little, and he sighed and said, "I'll give my friend in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection a try."
When Zhao Chengqiang heard this, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and quickly said, "No matter how much it costs, I'll pay for it!"
