Regardless of whether what Liu Yong said was true or false, Li Lin was quite touched.
Li Lin smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, I appreciate your kindness. It's not easy for you to get to where you are today. Don't let my affairs affect your future. I'm fine, so it's not a big deal if I'm dismissed."
Liu Yong sighed and nodded, and warned, "Guo Xuecai is a man who never gives in. Try not to argue with him later. We will find a chance to turn the situation around."
Tolerate?
Sorry, I can't stand it for even a second!
Li Lin came here today to question Secretary Guo. What discipline did I, Li Lin, violate? Why the hell did you dismiss me from my post?
The members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee are all old people. Which one of them doesn’t know Li Lin? Which one of them doesn’t know Li Lin?
If Li Lin endures it today, he will definitely be looked down upon in the future and won’t even be able to raise his head.
If you want to be tough, be tough to the end.
No matter success or failure!
In the municipal party committee meeting room.
The first item on the agenda has concluded.
It is time to discuss Liu Yong's resignation.
Coincidentally, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside with a creaky sound.
Liu Yong walked in slowly, in front, and Li Lin followed behind.
All the standing committee members in the room turned their heads to look at the two of them with complicated expressions.
Yang Heping, Zhang Yi, Yang Wanquan...quietly nodded and smiled at Li Lin as a greeting.
Li Lin also remained calm and responded to several leaders with a slight smile.
Liu Yong hunched over and found an empty seat at the table behind the standing committee members and sat down. He didn't dare to look up, as if he was afraid that someone would notice his presence.
Li Lin was calm and at Liu Yong's signal, he sat down next to him behind the Standing Committee members.
Guo Xuecai looked at Li Lin who had arrived late with ill intentions and said sarcastically, "Come on, come on, everyone, look, this is County Magistrate Li who just came back from drinking tea with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection... Look at him, he looks like nothing happened, he has no attitude of reflection at all, no sense of shame at all... He really brings shame to our Pingyang cadres!"
That's really sarcastic.
These don't sound like words a city leader would say, rather they sound like the swearing of a gangster on the street, completely devoid of manners.
Liu Yong was afraid that Li Lin would stand up and argue with Guo Xuecai, so he held Li Lin's arm tightly under the table and told him not to move or stand up...
Li Lin was helpless. However, he didn't want to refute Guo Xuecai right now. He would wait for him to finish his performance!
He looked calm, still smiling, and looked at Guo Xuecai calmly.
Guo Xuecai got even more excited, slamming the table and saying, "We should not have cadres like you in Pingyang! Now, I propose that Li Lin be removed from his position as Shannan County Magistrate immediately! Please raise your hands and vote!"
Li Lin calmly looked around at everyone in the venue.
No one present raised their hand first.
Only Guo Xuecai raised his hand above his head, so excited that he couldn't wait to announce the removal of Li Lin from all his positions...
But at this moment, he was embarrassed!
After he made the proposal, he raised his hand for a long time, but no one present responded!
Guo Xuecai was stunned for a moment, wondering if it was because he didn't explain it clearly enough?
So he emphasized again, "I propose that Li Lin be removed from his position immediately. Everyone, please raise your hands and vote!"
Three seconds passed.
Everyone present lowered their heads and did not express their opinions.
Ten seconds passed.
The meeting place was completely silent, and still no one raised their hand in agreement.
Thirty seconds passed...
Guo Xuecai raised his hands until they were sore. He put them down awkwardly, looked at everyone in confusion, and asked, "Didn't you hear what I said? Let's vote!"
He looked at Yang Wanquan and urged, "Mayor Yang...Comrade Wanquan...?"
Yang Wanquan covered his mouth and coughed twice, not daring to look at Guo Xuecai, but he would definitely not be the first to raise his hand... because the first person to raise his hand would inevitably become Li Lin's mortal enemy!
Everyone present knew how powerful Li Lin's backers were. With Li Lan in front and Cheng Wei behind, a bunch of provincial and ministerial leaders were vying to make friends with Li Lin... Even Secretary Wang Jin had praised Li Lin in public more than once... No matter how serious mistakes he made, he had been in and out of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection three times, and no one dared to do anything to him... Who would dare to offend such a person easily?
Publicly speaking, Li Lin brought Jianghai Group and Longjian Group to Pingyang, revitalized Pingyang's market economy, and solved the re-employment problem of thousands of laid-off workers... He has made great contributions, and it is not too much to give him the position of deputy mayor! Now, Li Lin is dismissed from his post with just a casual remark. Isn't this killing the donkey after it has done its work? Isn't it a disgrace to those cadres who have devoted themselves to Pingyang?
Who would be willing to do such an immoral thing? Who would be willing to be the first to do so?
You, Guo Xuecai, are just a complete idiot!
Guo Xuecai stared at everyone blankly and called out, "Mayor Zhang Yi, Deputy Secretary Lin, Secretary Yang...you...express your opinions!"
Still no one said a word, no one moved.
Even Tang Yiming, Liang Xiangwen and others who had disliked Li Lin in the past just sat there quietly, reluctant to move.
They all had concerns and did not want to be the first to stand up against Li Lin.
But Li Lin knew that continuing in this stalemate was not a solution.
They don't want to offend Guo Xuecai, nor do they want to offend Li Lin. They are in a dilemma!
But eventually someone will break the silence.
Once the silence was broken, Guo Xuecai, who held real power, could still use overwhelming force to determine Li Lin's defeat.
Since the outcome has been decided, Li Lin doesn't want to make things difficult for everyone.
Guo Xuecai was dumbfounded.
Everyone present bowed their heads in silence.
The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Li Lin broke free from Liu Yong's restraint and slowly stood up.
