Pingyang Municipal Party Committee Courtyard.
There are several peach trees in bloom in the backyard, filling the garden with fragrance.
After get off work at noon, most of the employees upstairs had left. Li Lin and Qian Lingyun had lunch in the cafeteria and then took a walk in the backyard.
The stone-paved road is narrow, only wide enough for one person to walk alone.
Qian Lingyun walked in front with his hands behind his back and his head held high, and Li Lin followed closely behind him with his hands behind his back.
The two walked casually, and no one spoke at first.
As he passed through the peach trees, a petal fell on Qian Lingyun's shoulder.
After seeing this, Li Lin took two quick steps, reached out and took it off his shoulder, and said jokingly, "Boss, peach blossoms have fallen on your shoulders. It seems that you are going to have good luck."
Qian Lingyun stopped, looked back at the peach blossom in Li Lin's hand, and said with a smile, "Is it time for me to have good luck in love?"
Li Lin smiled and said, "You've been single for so long, and you don't even have anyone to eat with. It's time to find a partner. If you have anyone you like, please tell me. I can help you find someone."
Qian Lingyun laughed and said, "Xiao Lin, you are getting more and more naughty. You are still single, and you still have the nerve to help me find a partner? I think you should hurry up and find a good partner to start a family. This is also crucial for your future promotion."
After saying that, Qian Lingyun continued to walk forward, the smile on his face gradually became forced, and there seemed to be a hint of worry hidden between his brows.
Because his back was facing Li Lin, Li Lin couldn't see his expression.
Li Lin smiled and said, "Boss, there is something I need to report to you in advance to avoid any misunderstandings in the future."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Qian Lingyun asked calmly without turning his head.
Li Lin said seriously, "I have a girlfriend, and we are ready to get married, but her identity is a bit special, and it has something to do with the bidding for the Shannan County Ancient City project, so I must be frank with the organization in advance."
Is the marriage related to the Shannan project?
Qian Lingyun was a little confused and stopped again. He looked back at Li Lin and saw that he looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, so he asked, "Go ahead and let me listen first."
"My girlfriend is Xu Wen. She is the child of a department-level leader in Yanjing, and Xu Yilong is her brother..." said Li Lin.
When Qian Lingyun heard this, his heart was shocked!
He turned around in surprise and asked in disbelief, "What did you say? The children of a ministerial leader? Xu Yilong's sister?"
"Yeah." Li Lin nodded calmly.
Qian Lingyun's heart was suddenly filled with shock and chaos.
Staring at Li Lin from head to toe, it seemed that he couldn't see through the person in front of him anymore, he had become a stranger...
He thought, it's fine that you didn't tell me earlier that you were dating the daughter of a ministerial leader, but why didn't you disclose such crucial information about Xu Yilong? You are the head of Shannan County, and Xu Yilong came here to take over the Shannan Ancient City project. Shouldn't you avoid it and avoid suspicion?
"Xiao Lin, you were too careless in this matter... Since you and Mr. Xu Yilong have such a relationship, why didn't you report it to the organization in advance? You are the person in charge of the Shannan Ancient City project, and Xu Yilong is the contractor... It's a huge project worth tens of billions. If Xu Yilong ends up taking over the project, aren't you afraid that people will say you favor your relatives and friends? Aren't you afraid that people will suspect you of profiting from it? You... You should avoid suspicion in this kind of relationship, don't you know?"
Qian Lingyun frowned deeply, looking a bit disappointed with his friend.
Feeling Qian Lingyun's anxiety, Li Lin sighed and said helplessly, "Boss, to be honest, I only just found out about our relationship!"
"What? You and your girlfriend have already talked about getting married, but you just found out about her family background now? Isn't your excuse too far-fetched? Xiaolin, I blame you for your own good. You don't have to fool me. Fortunately, Xu Yillong hasn't got the project yet. It's not too late for you to get out of it now! Otherwise, this incident will affect your future career!" Qian Lingyun said earnestly. He really didn't mean to blame Li Lin. He was just teaching him how to avoid risks!
But what Li Lin said is also true!
He just found out about all this yesterday... He confessed it to Qian Lingyun right away...
Li Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, I didn't fool you. I just found out about Xu Wen's family background yesterday!"
Qian Lingyun was completely confused, he stood there in a daze, wanting to say something but nothing came out.
Li Lin continued, "Wenwen hid her family background because she wanted to live an ordinary life and have an ordinary relationship with me, that's all... If Xu Yilong hadn't appeared in Pingyang, she would have kept it a secret from me for a while... This is the fact, I asked for permission to withdraw from the ancient city project command, and Secretary Liu Yong will take the lead."
Qian Lingyun was still skeptical about Li Lin's words.
Just imagine which ministerial-level leader's children are willing to live an ordinary life...
But he finally chose to trust Li Lin, believing that with Li Lin's character, he would not fool him.
He suddenly felt deeply moved. He thought that Li Lin was a little silly when it came to love between a man and a woman. How could he let someone lead him by the nose? He had slept with her for so long, but he didn't even know the girl's background... In this regard, Li Lin was too naive!
"Ah..." Qian Lingyun sighed and said, "Who else knows about your relationship with Xu Yilong?"
Li Lin replied, "No one in Pingyang knows except you."
Qian Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "In that case, write me a statement and I'll keep it for you. You continue to be in charge of the ancient city project. As long as no one asks, I'll pretend I don't know. If anyone asks about it, I'll say you've filed a case with the organization, and then you won't be held responsible."
Li Lin was worried, "If this happens, won't you be held responsible for me?"
Qian Lingyun smiled brightly and said, "You wouldn't do anything like that to seek illicit benefits behind closed doors. How much responsibility can I take for you? At most, you can say that I was negligent and didn't report your situation to the Municipal Party Committee in time. How big of a deal can that be? I can still take this responsibility!"
Hearing this, Li Lin was grateful, but as Qian Lingyun said, he was not suitable to be the project leader under this circumstance, so he insisted on his own opinion and said, "Boss, I think it is more appropriate for Secretary Liu to be the person in charge. Some things are hard to explain..."
Before he could finish, Qian Lingyun raised his hand to interrupt him, "Liu Yong's mind is no longer in the county. I don't feel comfortable handing such an important project to him! I'm even more worried if I hand it to someone else!"
Having said this, Li Lin said no more.
Liu Yong's position as deputy director of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress has been elected by the congress. After the public announcement period, he will move to the People's Congress to work. Although he still serves as the secretary of the Shannan County Party Committee, he has already started to do the finishing work and will no longer interfere in the county's new major projects.
The deputy officials in the county are unable to shoulder this important responsibility...this heavy burden can only fall on Li Lin's shoulders!
The matter was over.
Qian Lingyun changed the subject and said, "Your Shannan team is not complete, and many tasks are lagging behind..."
"The deputy county chief assigned to you by the provincial party committee will be in place in the next two days. She is a young female comrade. You must train her well..."
"Try to get her into work mode quickly so that she can share the pressure with you..."
