Seeing Li Jin being personally accompanied by Deputy Director Tang Yunping, the old station chief understood the implication and immediately expressed his intention to recommend Li Jin to take over the position.
The former station chief did recommend Li Jin at the expanded meeting of the Water Resources Bureau leadership, and Tang Yunping agreed.
Unexpectedly, Wu En, the director of the Water Resources Bureau who was usually not very involved in affairs, said unhurriedly, "Logically speaking, the pumping station should be directly under the jurisdiction of our Water Resources Bureau, but since the Wudaohe Pumping Station is located in the Wudaohe Commune, shouldn't we listen to what the Wudaohe Commune has to say?"
Tang Yunping put down his pen and leaned back in his chair. "Director Wu, our Water Resources Bureau is directly under the Municipal Water Resources Bureau, and the pumping station in Wudaohe Commune is also directly under our Huichuan County Water Resources Bureau.

“Deputy Director Tang, it’s true that we are directly under your management, but how can we carry out our work if we don’t unite the local people? Hmm? Don’t you think so?” Wu En said calmly.
Tang Yunping couldn't refute this, nor could he say that he had never been of any use to the local government.
Tang Yunping narrowed his eyes. It seemed that someone was using Wu En as a figurehead to oppose him!

"In my opinion, there's no rush to finalize the selection. Let's look around more. We should be eager to find talented people and appoint them based on merit!"
Wu En remained unmoved.

Tang Yunping and Li Jin were at a loss, knowing that Pan Dachun and his brother-in-law Hu Shusong, the head of the society, were bound to get involved. After discussing it, they couldn't come up with any other good solutions.
Although Wu En is about to retire and has not been involved in much affairs in the past year, seemingly poised to step down and hand over the reins to Tang Yunping, Tang Yunping cannot simply ignore his words if he insists on getting involved.
The handover of the pumping station will be put on hold for now. Li Jin only got home last night, and this frustrating thing happened first thing this morning.
