At the Pinnacle of Power: My Insider Report Alarms Bigwigs in Beijing's Elite Circle

3pm.

Lin Yi went to the city hospital to accompany Lin Zhengguang for an angiography.

This is a minor surgery, and with the anesthesia time, it takes an hour and a half.

After Lin Zhengguang's angiography was completed, the head of the cardiology department called Lin Yi to his office and told him the results.

Lin Zhengguang has two blood vessels in his heart that are 50% blocked. He does not need stent surgery for the time being, but he needs to take medication to control the blockage and prevent further blockage.

Lin Yi thanked the doctor, returned to the ward, and said happily, "Dad, your angiography results are very good. You don't need a stent, you just need to take medication!"

"understood."

Lin Zhengguang nodded slightly, his brows furrowed together, forming a "川" (river) shape.

Fang Lan, the mother, also looked worried and distressed.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yi found it somewhat strange.

Shouldn't we be happy that my father's test results are normal?

"Xiao Yi, your uncle called. He told me that your boss has been placed under investigation for accepting bribes, and you'll be implicated as well. You might lose your job, or even go to jail!"

Fang Lan looked at Lin Yi with red eyes and worry, tears streaming down her face.

"Xiao...Xiao Yi, tell Mom the truth, were you really implicated?"

Lin Zhengguang also looked at Lin Yi with a worried expression.

Lin Yi suddenly realized.

Lin Yi's uncle, Fang Li, is the vice president of Qinghe County Hospital, which is under the jurisdiction of Yunshan City. He heard some news from the sidelines and then called his mother.

"Om..."

Just as Lin Yi was about to explain, his phone vibrated.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Zhang Rui, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government.

Zhang Rui is the chief steward of the municipal government and also Lin Yi's main superior.

Lin Yi quickly answered the phone: "Hello, Secretary-General."

"Xiao Lin, I heard from Mayor Xiao that you went to the hospital. How is your father doing now?"

Zhang Rui asked in a friendly and caring tone.

"Thank you for your concern, Secretary-General. My father has finished his check-up. There is some blockage in his heart vessels, but it's not serious. He can take medication and be discharged tomorrow."

Lin Yi first thanked Zhang Rui, then explained his father Lin Zhengguang's situation, and finally asked, "Secretary-General, is there anything you need to do here?"

"Lin Yi, I'm calling to tell you some good news. This afternoon, Mayor Xiao chaired the municipal government's executive meeting, which approved a number of personnel appointments, including yours. Congratulations, Lin Yi, you will be appointed as the head of the First Secretariat Section!"

"Thank you... thank you, Secretary-General."

Lin Yi was somewhat bewildered.

Although he had heard Xiao Yuan mention the arrangement this morning, he did not expect it to happen so quickly!

"Xiao Lin, you don't need to thank me. This is the result of your own hard work. You are hardworking and ambitious, and you are calm and composed in the face of problems. The leaders have all seen this."

Zhang Rui said with a smile, "However, after you become the head of the First Secretariat Section, you will continue to serve as Mayor Xiao's secretary. Your responsibilities will be even heavier, so you will have to work even harder!"

"Please rest assured, Secretary-General, I will definitely do my job well and do my best to complete all the tasks assigned by the leaders!"

"Okay, that's settled then. Please give my regards to your dad and wish him a speedy recovery."

"Thank you, Secretary-General!"

Lin Yi thanked him again and then ended the call.

"Xiao...Xiao Yi, you've been promoted to section chief?!"

Seeing Lin Yi put down his phone, Fang Lan couldn't wait to ask.

Lin Zhengguang also sat up excitedly.

They all heard roughly what was being said during the call.

"Yes, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government just called me and said that the organization wants to promote me to the position of Chief of the First Section of the Municipal Government Secretariat, and concurrently serve as Mayor Xiao's secretary."

Lin Yi nodded.

He had originally planned to explain Xiao Yuan's case to his parents, but Zhang Rui's phone call was just the right thing to do to ease their worries.

"My Xiaoyi is amazing!"

Fang Lan was so excited that she trembled all over.

She was worried about Lin Yi just now because of her brother Fang Li's words, but in the blink of an eye, not only was Lin Yi fine, but he was also going to be promoted to section chief. How could she not be excited?

Lin Zhengguang wasn't much better off.

His lips curled slightly, as if he were harder to control than an AK47.

But he still tried his best to maintain the composure expected of a father, and said in a serious tone: "Xiao...Xiao Yi, you've been promoted, that's a good thing, congratulations. However, you'll have more responsibilities from now on, so you'll have to work even harder!"

"Got it, Dad."

Lin Yi nodded with a smile.

My father, a railway worker, like many fathers of the older generation, was not highly educated, but he was principled, had a bottom line, and was responsible. He liked to use a strict, authoritarian style of education.

They usually offer little encouragement and much criticism, fearing their children will become arrogant, but when they turn to colleagues or relatives, they immediately say: "My son (daughter)..."

"Dad, Mom, although my promotion has been approved, I haven't been officially appointed yet. The results will be publicized in the next couple of days. According to personnel regulations, this information cannot be leaked. Therefore, you must keep it a secret, otherwise it will cause trouble for the Secretary-General and affect my promotion!"

Lin Yi gave a special instruction.

"Good... good!"

Lin Zhengguang and Fang Lan had already figured out how to tell their colleagues what had happened, but when they heard Lin Yi's words, they were startled and quickly nodded.

Then, Fang Lan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Xiao Yi, Liu Li broke up with you because your boss got into trouble, and she thought you would be implicated, right?"

"Mom, it's all in the past."

Lin Yi said.

"Hey... if Liu Li knew that Xiao Yi was not only unharmed, but was even promoted to section chief, she would definitely regret it to the core!"

Lin Zhengguang sneered.

He didn't care; he was hospitalized, and Liu Li didn't even show her face.

But he was very unhappy that Liu Li broke up with Lin Yi immediately after Xiao Yuan's accident!

West Bank Restaurant.

This is the newest Western restaurant in Yunshan, and it's extremely popular.

In 08, my country's economy experienced a boom after joining the WTO, and some people had money and began to pursue Western lifestyles and culture.

KFC, Dicos, Pizza Hut, coffee shops, and Western restaurants are examples of this.

Following yesterday afternoon, Liu Li and Ye Hao met again today at the West Coast Restaurant for dinner.

Liu Li skipped work an hour early and arrived at the booth early to wait for Ye Hao.

As a result, Ye Hao arrived late, and his expression was quite unpleasant.

"Ye Hao, have the investigation results for Mayor Xiao's case been released?"

As soon as Ye Hao sat down, Liu Li asked impatiently.

She hasn't told her parents yet that she broke up with Lin Yi and turned to Ye Hao.

Because she knew that her father, Liu Guoquan, wouldn't give up until he saw the Yellow River, and still held onto hope for Lin Yi.

Her plan was to take Ye Hao to meet her parents after Xiao Yuan's case was completely resolved and Lin Yi's tragedy was certain.

At that time, her parents will not only not blame her, but will also praise her for her foresight!

"I'll wait another minute, maybe the next minute..."

Before Ye Hao could reply, Liu Li's phone rang.

Her phone was the currently popular Nokia N95, and her ringtone was the song "Wait a Minute".

"It's my dad's call, I'll go outside to answer it."

Liu Li glanced at the caller ID, said something to Ye Hao, and then got up and went outside to answer the phone.

"Xiao Li, where are you?"

When the call connected, Liu Guoquan, the deputy director of the Construction Committee, asked the question first.

Liu Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, I'm having dinner with friends at the West Coast Restaurant. What's wrong?"

"Stop eating, come back quickly. Your mother and I will take you to the city hospital to visit Lin Yi's father!"

Liu Guoquan said excitedly.

Just now, he received a call from the director of the Municipal Construction Commission, who told him that Lin Yi would soon be appointed as the head of the First Secretariat Section and congratulated him.

Liu Li refused outright: "Dad, you know that Mayor Xiao is in trouble, and Lin Yi will definitely be implicated. It's not appropriate for us to visit his father right now!"

"What happened? Xiao Li, don't talk nonsense! Mayor Xiao is fine. Lin Yi has been promoted and will soon become the head of the First Secretariat Section of the Municipal Government, and will also serve as the mayor's chief secretary!"

"Lin... Lin Yi has been promoted to section chief? And he's going to be the mayor's chief secretary?! Dad, are you sure you're not mistaken?!"

Liu Li exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with disbelief!
