Wang Jin paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and asked Qian Lingyun with a serious face, "Lingyun, I remember that when you first started working, you worked as a secretary for Deputy Secretary Tao, and then you were sent to the county to serve as the county magistrate and county party secretary, and later as a member of the municipal party committee... Is that right?"
Qian Lingyun nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary Wang, he worked in the county for eight years, then went to Jingzhou to serve as deputy mayor, and then was transferred to Pingyang and promoted to executive..."
"Oh..." Wang Jin nodded silently, "Your resume is very solid. Mr. Tao has always mentioned you to me, saying that you are a good writer and a decent person, and a rare talent... This also paved the way for your promotion to the mayor of Pingyang... I feel guilty. When you were in your executive position, I should have resisted the pressure and kept you in the mayor's position. In this way, the political situation in Pingyang might not be as turbulent as it is today!"
Qian Lingyun said, "Secretary, please don't say that. I know that this is a test from the organization. Only cadres who can withstand the test are qualified to take on more important responsibilities... Although I was very motivated at that time, I also had shortcomings. I was too upright and offended many colleagues... As a result, it was difficult to take a step forward in Pingyang. I did not manage Pingyang well. I felt ashamed of the trust of the organization..."
Wang Jin asked suddenly, "Now, how do you think you have corrected your bad habits? Do you still offend people often?"
"I..." Qian Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and said, "I have changed a lot, but I haven't won over many talents... Many people are still not in harmony with me."
Wang Jin smiled and said, "It's not like you've gained nothing. During your time in Pingyang, you've done a great job in attracting investment, and the economy has grown steadily. This achievement is quite impressive."
Qian Lingyun said a little ashamedly, "You are talking about Longjian Group and Jianghai Group, right? You know the details here. This is not my achievement. It was Li Lin who took a lot of effort to recruit him back. If we have to reward him according to his merits, he should be ranked first."
Wang Jin said, "Your idea is wrong. No matter how capable Li Lin is, if you don't give him a platform to show his abilities, how can he attract investment? In the final analysis, you have the ability to judge people. It's not an exaggeration to say that you deserve this achievement. Sometimes you should be modest and show your abilities. This is your fault. You are always tense and cautious, and you don't have the generosity of a leader."
Qian Lingyun smiled and said, "I'm saying this in front of you. If that's the case, the credit for Pingyang's development should go to you. Without you, there would be no me, and even less Li Lin. Don't you agree?"
Wang Jin was amused by Qian Lingyun's sudden playfulness. He kept pointing at him and said with a smile, "You have also learned to be cunning and have fooled me. Well, let's get back to the point. Your Pingyang collective corruption case has been handed over to the desk of the Yanjing leaders... The leaders called me personally and asked me to pay attention to it and severely punish the responsible persons... Who is the responsible person? You, the top leader of Pingyang, cannot escape the blame!"
Qian Lingyun lowered his head silently, "Secretary Wang, I have an unshirkable responsibility, I accept the punishment."
Wang Jin added, "It's not just you. Li Lin's matter has also been making a lot of noise on the Internet. Although Cheng Wei and others have tried their best to suppress it, many people are still discussing his and Xu Yilong's identities in private..."
Hearing this, Qian Lingyun stood up suddenly and said excitedly, "Secretary, Li Lin reported his relationship with Xu Yilong to me in advance, and I also asked the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to go through the reporting procedures. It was me who agreed that he could continue to contact Xu Yilong in the name of the project commander-in-chief. If there is any fault, it is my fault, and if there is any responsibility, it is my responsibility! Please punish me."
Qian Lingyun knew he couldn't avoid this difficulty. Li Lin was at the peak of his career, and he didn't want this incident to affect Li Lin's future.
He is old, he has done enough, he can retire! But Li Lin has just come out of his career, he is full of ideals and enthusiasm, he cannot be affected in the slightest, Qian Lingyun must block everything for him and escort him one last time.
Wang Jin frowned and looked at Qian Lingyun, saying, "Lingyun, I understand your feelings... I have also learned about the whole incident, and I will handle it appropriately. This is why I let Li Lin stay in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for a while, and make new arrangements for him after the storm has passed."
Qian Lingyun said with red eyes, "Secretary, Li Lin is still very young! I know that you love talents, and Li Lin respects you very much. You have to give him a chance anyway... If this incident hadn't happened, the current secretary of the Shannan County Party Committee would have been preparing to serve in the Municipal People's Congress. I originally planned to recommend Li Lin to the Provincial Party Committee to take up the position of secretary of the county party committee... Alas, things are unpredictable."
Hearing this, Wang Jin did not express his opinion, but just smiled calmly and said, "Let's not talk about this now. Since you have also thought it through, I will say it directly. The Provincial Party Committee held a standing committee meeting specifically for Pingyang's affairs. At the meeting, it was unanimously approved to transfer you from Pingyang to Jingzhou as the secretary of the municipal party committee."
Going to Jingzhou?
Although it is a horizontal transfer, Jingzhou has less land, a small population, and an economic scale less than half of Pingyang, and is not much stronger than a county-level city.
Perhaps the provincial party committees have always believed that with Qian Lingyun's ability, he is only capable of governing such a small city.
However, Qian Lingyun could bear this result. After all, he was still the top leader of a prefecture-level city, which was not shameful. However, at his age, his term in Jingzhou would basically be over.
Qian Lingyun accepted it calmly and nodded slowly, "Obey the order!"
But he suddenly thought of an important question, so he asked, "What about the candidate for the secretary of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee? And what is the provincial party committee's consideration for the adjustment list reported earlier?"
