Guo Xuecai stood there looking at Li Lin, who was as steady as a rock, with a look of surprise on his face.
He knew that Li Lin had a backer, but he was the secretary of the municipal party committee and Li Lin's direct superior. He still couldn't believe that Li Lin would dare to go head-on with him.
If the municipal party secretary wants to deal with the county party secretary, he has many ways to do it.
He sneered, regained his composure, sat back on the sofa, and said, "Li Lin, my patience is limited. You challenge my bottom line again and again. Aren't you afraid that I will make things difficult for you? Is your work in Shannan really flawless and without any problems?"
No one dares to say that he has no problems.
In order to protect the interests of the majority, officials will choose to offend a small number of people.
If you offend someone, they will find fault with you. You may not be greedy or take advantage of you, but if your every word and action is recorded and magnified ten thousand times, can they not find any fault with you?
If a superior wants to punish his subordinate, this slight flaw is enough to serve as an excuse.
How could Li Lin not understand?
Facing Guo Xuecai's threat, Li Lin was not afraid at all.
He smiled calmly and said, "Secretary Guo, let's deal with the matter at hand. Liu Changshuo is a criminal, and neither of us has the right to release him with just one word. He must be judged by law."
Guo Xuecai said angrily, "Stop talking to me about these useless things! If you release him, I will promote Yang Ping to a deputy position in a large unit. If you don't release him, don't even think about promoting a division-level cadre in Shannan during my tenure!"
As the top leader of the city, it is really shameless for him to say such words to force Li Lin to submit.
Li Lin said sternly, "I'm afraid Secretary Guo doesn't have the final say on the city's personnel arrangements alone, right? If you insist on mixing these two things up, then I can tell you right now that there is no way I can release them!"
Guo Xuecai sneered and stood up, saying, "Very good! I can also answer you now. Don't mention Yang Ping's matter to me again!"
So domineering!
Li Lin said, "Okay, I will tell Secretary Guo what you said to the leaders of the provincial organization department and let them judge the rationality of your words."
Guo Xuecai's face froze and he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
He didn't expect that Li Lin would have the courage to threaten him in return.
The two of them had already torn their faces apart, so Guo Xuecai simply stopped pretending and said through gritted teeth, "Okay! You have guts! I want to see whether the provincial leaders support you or me!"
After saying that, he got up and left.
Li Lin stood up and saw him off with a calm face. As he saw him out, he said, "By the way, Secretary Guo, your relative Liu Changshuo threatened to kill me with a knife in the Taoist temple... I think someone must have instructed him to do this, most likely to retaliate against me. Retaliating against officials is a serious crime... Since he is your relative, this matter cannot be related to you, right?"
Kill people and destroy their hearts!
Guo Xuecai trembled and his face was immediately filled with tension.
Tu Ming only said that Liu Changshuo was imprisoned for a trivial matter, but he did not say that he committed the crime with a knife!
And the target of the attack was Li Lin, a deputy director-level cadre!
Oh shit...if this implicates me, the consequences will be too serious!
Guo Xuecai cursed Tu Ming in his heart for being an idiot and causing him so much trouble...
He pretended to be calm and said without turning his head, "Don't talk nonsense! I only know that he made a small mistake, I don't know that he committed a crime with a knife... Besides, he is not my relative. I was asked to speak for him!"
"Oh? Did I misunderstand Secretary Guo?" Li Lin raised his lips and smiled slightly, "But the leaders of the Discipline Inspection Commission won't think so! After all, you came here in person to help Liu Changshuo, so you are highly suspicious!"
Guo Xuecai became more and more panicked. If Li Lin reported this matter to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he would have no way to defend himself!
So he turned around, his eyes became gentler, and he smiled at Li Lin shamelessly and said, "Xiao Lin, I was just excited..."
"Hey... After all, I am your boss. How can I not be angry if you don't give me any face? You have to understand..."
He sat down on the sofa again.
Li Lin let him sit down and waited for his performance.
Guo Xuecai picked up the teacup with trembling fingers, took a sip tactically, looked up at Li Lin, and his attitude changed 180 degrees.
He said, "Thanks to your reminder... I have carefully considered it. Since Liu Changshuo's crime is so heinous, he must be severely punished and cannot be let off easily! You can focus on the trial. No matter who is behind him, he must not be let off easily."
He kept observing Li Lin's micro-expressions with his peripheral vision, as if trying to figure out Li Lin's thoughts.
But Li Lin just looked at him calmly... For a moment, he couldn't guess what Li Lin was thinking...
The more this happened, the more restless he became.
The lethality of silence is sometimes so strong.
Especially after taking the initiative, the other party will continue to take out chips to test...
Seeing that Li Lin was unmoved, Guo Xuecai continued, "As for Yang Ping's matter, I have also thought about it. Apart from you, Shannan has not promoted a single department-level cadre in recent years... Besides, Weishui Township has done a good job in attracting investment, so it is only natural to promote Yang Ping... I will go back and say hello to Secretary Lin, and take this opportunity to handle Yang Ping's matter!"
After saying that, he glanced at Li Lin's expression out of the corner of his eye...
At this time, Li Lin saw that he had a positive attitude and took the initiative to propose to promote Yang Ping, so he smiled and said, "Secretary Guo is right... We should indeed promote a few department-level cadres in Shannan. Thank you for the support of the Municipal Party Committee. As for Liu Changshuo, we will continue to investigate, but I believe he has nothing to do with you, Secretary Guo..."
