That afternoon, Li Lin was thinking in his office about promoting Yang Ping and how to talk to Guo Xuecai about it.
After all, I just rejected Guo Xuecai's intervention in the ancient city project yesterday. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to go to him now?
It’s better to take a detour and find someone to scout the way first.
The position of Municipal Party Committee Organization Minister is still vacant and is still in charge of Lin Zheng.
You might as well listen to his opinion first and then make a decision.
After all, Yang Ping's uncle, Yang Shixiong, also greeted Lin Zheng when he greeted him, so I believe he will not shirk his responsibility.
Thinking of this, Li Lin called Zhang Yupei and asked him to prepare the car.
Zhang Yupei went to make the arrangements without asking any further questions.
Joan's wedding date is coming soon, so she is preparing to take wedding leave in the next two days.
Li Lin asked Qiao An, "How are the wedding preparations going? Is there anything missing?"
Qiao An said, "The invitations have been sent to relatives and friends in my hometown, the wedding room has been decorated, and the wedding car has been reserved...but who will give the gift has not been decided...The elders in the family said, you are the county party secretary, if you can come forward, both of our families will have face..."
Although this was a good thing to do, Li Lin's identity was not suitable. The higher-level Party committee had repeatedly stressed that extravagant weddings and funerals were strictly prohibited. If he went out to give the betrothal gift, wouldn't it be contrary to the spirit of his superiors? It would have a bad impact if it got out!
Li Lin said, "Let's go find the respected elders in our family."
He didn't explain why, because he knew that Joan had been in the government for so long and would definitely understand him.
Qiao An smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll discuss it with my parents when I get back...it's really not appropriate for you to come forward."
He didn't have much hope that Li Lin would come forward, and he was just asking tentatively. So when he was rejected, he didn't feel surprised or unacceptable.
Looking at the date, it’s only a little over a week away from Qiao An and Cui Xinyu’s wedding.
Li Lin said, "You should take your wedding leave. You have to run many things yourself. You should drive the car back. I will let Yu Pei drive the official car with me for the next two days."
Qiao An nodded and said, "I'm basically done, just waiting for the wedding day... It won't be too late for me to take two more days off."
Li Lin smiled and said, "If you do this, my aunt and uncle will think I'm too unkind. I feel bad for not granting my cousin wedding leave for such an important event in his life and for letting him run around for you. Listen to me, go through the routine leave procedures tomorrow and go back to prepare for the wedding."
Qiao An smiled and scratched his head and said, "Okay, then I'll rest early... By the way, brother... Xinyu said she wanted to go on a honeymoon. I didn't agree at first, but she said she had never been out for a long time and wanted to take this opportunity to go out and have some fun... Maybe I should take a few more days off..."
Li Lin said, "Okay, I understand."
Cui Xinyu is also a person with a hard life. She dropped out of junior high school and went out to work. In the past few years, she has been working diligently and hard in the canteen contracted by the township government, but she has never enjoyed anything that she should have enjoyed at her age... Now that she has finally settled down and has a family, it is time for her to indulge herself and relax.
During this period, Li Lin read a classic Chinese book called "The Four Lessons of Life". Because it was a book recommended by the discipline inspection system, he read it very carefully. The stories in it were really thought-provoking.
Sometimes I think about this: people are going around in a circle, the track is fixed, the end point is also fixed. Isn't this just like the fate of ordinary people described in the books?
How many people try to change their current lives, but still live in the old ways. They cannot understand the meaning of life until the last moment of their lives. They are confused and pitiful. Just thinking about it makes me feel sad.
After reading this book, Li Lin felt that his ideological awareness had been raised a lot. He even felt that he could see things clearly and had a sense of enlightenment...
Arrived at the Municipal Party Committee compound.
Li Lin got out of the car and went straight to Lin Zheng's office.
He called Lin Zheng on the way.
To his office.
Lin Zheng personally poured a cup of tea for Li Lin.
The two sat down facing each other.
Tea vapor rose up like a water snake, separating the two of them.
Lin Zheng spoke first, "Have you reported Yang Ping's problem to Secretary Guo?"
Li Lin said, "Not yet."
Lin Zheng said, "So you mean that I should report to him?"
The city promotes cadres irregularly, usually with a small move every six months and a big move every year.
Lin Zheng meant to include Yang Ping in the list of the next batch of cadres to be promoted, and have them report to Guo Xuecai.
This will reduce Guo Xuecai's attention on Yang Ping. If it is just one report, I am afraid that Guo Xuecai will block it and not approve it.
If it fails once, there will be no chance of it being passed again during Guo Xuecai's term. This delay could be three or five years.
For Yang Ping, the cost of wasting these years is too high.
Li Lin said, "I came here to discuss with you how to deal with this matter."
Lin Zheng said, "Next month the municipal party committee will promote a group of department-level cadres, about five or six people. I think we should take this opportunity to report Yang Ping... If Secretary Guo asks about Yang Ping's resume, I will explain it to him. I asked Director Yang to greet Secretary Guo in the next two days... With the face of many parties, he should consider it carefully. Since you didn't report it to Secretary Guo, I will take care of this matter, and you can just pretend that you don't know about it."
Li Lin nodded and said, "You are very thoughtful."
Lin Zheng knew that Li Lin and Guo Xuecai were not on good terms. If Li Lin came forward to talk about Yang Ping's promotion, it would most likely be rejected.
Lin Zheng said, "Please notify the County Party Committee Organization Department and ask Shen Zhifei to submit Yang Ping's file to the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. The city will then organize people to conduct an investigation."
