When Guo Xuecai heard Li Lin's words, he was dumbfounded.
He was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
So, he tactically picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide his uneasiness.
Yang Wanquan and Lin Zheng also lowered their heads to drink tea, with no intention of stepping out to ease the atmosphere. Because their identities were rather awkward, if they stepped out at this time, no matter what they said, they would be suspected of siding with Guo Xuecai. The relationship that had been cultivated with great difficulty with Li Lin could not be turned away at this time, and the efforts made would be ruined.
Guo Xuecai didn't give up, and winked at Yang Wanquan and Lin Zheng, as if to say, Mayor Yang, Secretary Lin, you two should say something! You can't just watch the silence, right?
Helplessly, the usually taciturn Lin Zheng put down the cup in his hand, cleared his throat, and said, "Xiao Lin, since we've come to this point, let me say a few words too."
Guo Xuecai looked at Lin Zheng gratefully and said with a smile, "Yes, let's listen to what Secretary Lin has to say."
Li Lin looked at Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng said slowly, "As everyone knows, you are one of the top ten outstanding young people in the province, and you are a young cadre that the provincial party committee has focused on training. You must be familiar with Secretary Wang, Minister Chang, Minister Cheng, etc. of the provincial party committee. The provincial leaders are paying attention to you, so you should be more careful in your work and avoid making mistakes... If others don't have any handle on you, they can't embarrass you... This is a matter of experience, and it can be regarded as a warning to you."
Li Lin nodded and smiled, "Secretary Lin is right. I will be more careful in my work in the future to avoid mistakes, so that those who want to target me will not be able to find fault with me!"
Lin Zheng smiled gently, "Well, that's right, you are still very young, and you have a long way to go in the future. You must maintain your reputation."
Li Lin nodded again, "Yes, I will definitely keep it in mind."
Guo Xuecai was dumbfounded, thinking, Lin Zheng, you are not going to speak for me, you are taking the opportunity to pretend to be a good guy! You look so righteous and a role model... It makes people angry just by looking at you!
You also advised Li Lin to maintain his own reputation. According to what you said, do you have to force me to convene a Standing Committee meeting to clear Li Lin's name?
Guo Xuecai secretly glared at Lin Zheng and wanted to swear.
However, before he could figure out how to resolve the negative impact of Lin Zheng's words on him, Yang Wanquan spoke up.
He said, "Yes, Xiaolin, what Secretary Lin said is very right! People live for a face. Although we as cadres sometimes embarrass ourselves for the people's affairs, we don't care. But if someone targets you and slaps you in the face, you must return the slap! Otherwise, how can you survive in our circle in the future? Do the Standing Committee members look down on you? Do the heads of those municipal units also laugh at you? So, be magnanimous when you should, and still care about what you should care about..."
Yang Wanquan suddenly stopped, turned to look at Guo Xuecai, and said with a smile, "Secretary Guo, what I said is not directed at anything. Li Lin is still young, and I am just passing on some experience to him, teaching him who to be tolerant of and who to be cruel to... Hehe... It is purely a spontaneous statement, and I am off topic, please don't mind."
Hearing this, Guo Xuecai's head exploded.
It seems that Yang Wanquan and Lin Zheng are not good people!
Lin Zheng's words just now were still quite tactful. Yang Wanquan was basically asking Li Lin to slap Guo Xuecai back!
Why? He just wanted Guo Xuecai to publicly announce the revocation of Li Lin's dismissal at the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting. Isn't that embarrassing?
Guo Xuecai regretted it so much at this moment. If he had known earlier that Yang Wanquan and Lin Zheng would not speak for him and set a trap for him, he would never have asked them to come over.
Even if I bow and apologize to Li Lin behind closed doors, it would be better than the current situation!
Guo Xuecai looked at Li Lin eagerly, praying in his heart that he would not be instigated by the two men.
Guo Xuecai laughed awkwardly twice, interrupted Yang Wanquan tactfully, and said to Li Lin, "Xiao Lin, what Mayor Yang and Secretary Lin said makes sense... We cadres sometimes need to be a little hard-hearted... But what they said has nothing to do with today's topic... Let's continue with the previous topic. If you want to take a two-day break, I will grant you leave and take a good rest. If there is nothing else, I think you should hurry back to Shannan to work. Shannan's ancient city project will be restarted soon. As the person in charge of this project, you have a long way to go! What do you think?"
Lin Zheng and Yang Wanquan looked at Li Lin eagerly. They probably wanted to see the two of them quarrel and clash...
You know, infighting among government officials is common, and there is no absolute harmony between the top leaders. There is only open and covert fighting, and one side gains while the other loses...
Yang Wanquan probably wanted to use Li Lin to suppress Guo Xuecai's prestige in the Municipal Party Committee in order to enhance his weight as mayor in the decision-making level.
Lin Zheng was probably thinking the same thing.
It is not difficult to imagine that if Guo Xuecai is suppressed, then in the future Pingyang will be under the control of the two deputy secretaries Yang Wanquan and Lin Zheng!
It is not uncommon for a cowardly municipal party secretary to have his power stripped away by two powerful deputy secretaries.
Is Li Lin so stupid? Is he being used as a pawn again?
Besides, he returned to Shannan, but those members of the Standing Committee didn’t know what was going on?
Holding a Standing Committee meeting to revoke the decision will only make some people happy and some people sad, and it will not bring any practical benefits to me.
He smiled and said to Guo Xuecai, "Secretary Guo, let me first state my attitude. I have always supported the decision of the Municipal Party Committee. It is not because it involves my personal interests that I have a strong reaction. I just hope that the Municipal Party Committee can carefully consider it before making a decision! Since the Municipal Party Committee has withdrawn its decision to remove me from office, I will not be hypocritical and will continue to perform my duties in Shannan County. Secretary Guo, please issue a red-headed document in the name of the Municipal Party Committee, explaining why the decision was withdrawn. I will take the document back and explain it to my colleagues in the county so that they can feel at ease about me as the county magistrate."
