Yanjing, the land of three seas, is the center of power and symbol of majesty in China.
A middle-aged man, about fifty years old, with neatly combed hair and a sharp-faced face.
At this moment, he was sitting in front of the mahogany desk in the palace-style office, staring blankly at a yellowed photo.
The photo shows a baby sleeping soundly in a cradle.
The man looked at the photo in his hand, his eyes gradually became deep and gentle, and his usually tough face completely relaxed at this moment.
"How is Li Lin doing these days?" The man put the photo in his hand back into the drawer and slowly looked up at the secretary standing in front of him.
"Chief, Li Lin has encountered some difficulties in his work recently." The secretary in a suit and tie stood straight and said expressionlessly, as if he was an emotionless, cold machine.
The man frowned when he heard that. For a moment, a trace of anxiety and worry appeared in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "Oh? Tell me about it."
"Chief, we understand that the executive deputy mayor of Pingyang City, where Li Lin previously worked, lost an internal struggle and was transferred to the Hanjiang Provincial Political Consultative Conference to take up a sinecure, thus retiring. As his secretary, Li Lin was also implicated and was sent to a remote township to serve as deputy township head indefinitely."
Indefinitely appointed as deputy township head? This means that Li Lin has become a victim of political struggle and has completely faded out of the political stage!
A young man who leaves the center of power and is demoted to a remote township, being ostracized and ridiculed everywhere...how sad it must be!
"Those people, how dare they!"
The man's relaxed face became hard again, and his gaze towards the secretary gradually became firm. His intimidating eyes seemed to see through everything, and his calm tone was like a mountain pressing down on one's head, making people feel suffocated and panic-stricken.
"Chief, should I privately pass on a message to the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee to have Li Lin return to Pingyang City, or be directly transferred to the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee? After all, life at the grassroots level is hard, and he is now being ostracized everywhere. I am worried..."
The secretary also felt the man's rage and became nervous, even her breathing became rapid.
"No! If I'm too direct, it will expose my relationship with him. I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives will make a fuss about it." The man said firmly: "Call Li Lan, I will tell her what to do!"
"Yes, Chief." The secretary bowed his head respectfully and left quietly.
Not long after, Li Lan, who was wearing a suit and skirt, walked in. "Commander, what do you want?"
"I've trained you for so many years, it's time for you to show your skills!"
"Commander, please give me your instructions!"
The man nodded with satisfaction. "You will leave for Hanjiang Province immediately and temporarily serve as the executive vice minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Then find a way to establish contact with Li Lin in Weishui Township, Pingyang City. Use all your connections and resources for him and do your best to ensure that his career is smooth!"
Li Lin? A familiar yet unfamiliar name. Rumor has it that this was the leader’s child abandoned in the countryside due to “historical reasons”.
Li Lan did not dare to hesitate and quickly agreed, "Don't worry, Chief, I will complete the task!"
After Li Lan left, the man took out the yellowed baby photo again, and his thoughts were suddenly brought back to the scene 25 years ago when he secretly sent the baby, who was not even a month old, back to his rural hometown and gave him to a distant cousin to raise.
Now this little baby has grown into a strong young man in his twenties.
He stroked the photo gently, his eyes slightly red. Suddenly, his eyes were sharp and he cried out heartbreakingly, "Child, I have made you wander around for so many years and suffered so much injustice! Don't worry, in the days ahead, I will do my best to help you rise to the top in your career! No one will dare to underestimate you anymore! Whoever dares to hinder me will be doomed to eternal damnation!"
