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

Half past two in the afternoon.

Just as it was time for work, there was a knock on Lin Yi's office door.

"Come in."

Lin Yi turned his gaze toward the office door.

Soon, the office door was pushed open, and Ma Rui, the director of the county's Safety Supervision Bureau, walked in carrying a briefcase and a file bag.

After entering, Ma Rui stood at the door with a fawning smile and asked, "County Chief Lin, are you busy right now? I'd like to report to you on my work."

"No rush, Director Ma, sit down and let's talk."

Lin Yi glanced thoughtfully at the bulging file folder in Ma Rui's hand, then pointed to the sofa.

"Yes, County Chief Lin, our county's Safety Supervision Bureau will follow your instructions..."

Ma Rui smiled and nodded, walked straight to the sofa, placed his briefcase and document bag on it, and then pretended to report on the county safety supervision bureau's handling of the coal mine accident.

"Director Ma, is there anything else?" Lin Yi frowned slightly after listening to Ma Rui's report, which lacked any substantial information.

"County Chief Lin, that's all. You're busy, I won't bother you any longer." Ma Rui shook his head, then stood up, picked up his briefcase, and walked out.

The bulging file folder ended up in the corner of the sofa!

Seeing this, Lin Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Director Ma, you didn't take your file bag."

"County Chief Lin, that's a gift I brought for you." Ma Rui stopped, turned around, bowed, gave Lin Yi a fawning smile, and then turned around again, wanting to leave quickly.

"and many more!"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, called out to Ma Rui, then quickly walked to the sofa, opened the file bag, and found it was full of cash!

Seeing Lin Yi's actions, Ma Rui's smile became even more obsequious: "County Chief Lin, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Please guide my work in the future..."

"Director Ma, this gift of yours should not be given to me, it should be given to the Discipline Inspection Commission!" Lin Yi coldly interrupted Ma Rui.

Geek!

Hearing Lin Yi's cold words, Ma Rui's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face froze instantly!

Since Ding Shusheng and Ding Yonggang were investigated, Ma Rui was worried that Ding Shusheng would implicate him. After much deliberation, he finally decided to give Lin Yi a gift, hoping that Lin Yi would be lenient and let him off the hook.

As a result, Lin Yi is now instructing Ma Rui to deliver the money in the document bag to the Discipline Inspection Commission...

This terrified Ma Rui!

"I'm sorry, County Chief Lin, I was out of my mind that day and said something that upset you. From now on, I will definitely carry out your work instructions without fail. If you tell me to go east, I will definitely not go west..." Ma Rui explained, his legs weak and his whole body trembling.

He was interrupted by Lin Yi halfway through his sentence: "Ma Rui, your problem isn't particularly serious. I suggest you take the initiative to go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to confess your problems, be lenient, pay back the embezzled funds, and try to get lenient treatment. You might even be able to keep your job."

“County Chief Lin…” Ma Rui was still unwilling to give up.

As the director of the Safety Supervision Bureau, he didn't have much to gain, and his problems weren't that serious. If he turned himself in, he might be able to keep his job, but he wanted to continue as director, and even wanted to get promoted!

Seeing Ma Rui hesitate, Lin Yi frowned and said, "If you can't bring yourself to do it, I'll hand it over to the Discipline Inspection Commission for you."

“I…I’ll go by myself.” Marie closed her eyes weakly, no longer insisting or struggling.

Because he could tell that Lin Yi had never shown even the slightest interest in the money in the document bag!

After half an hour.

The news that Ma Rui had voluntarily surrendered himself to the county discipline inspection commission spread throughout the county party committee and county government.

At the same time, Chang Yongchun, the deputy county head in charge of safety, came to Lin Yi's office.

"County Chief Lin Yi, has this affected your work?" Chang Yongchun asked politely as he entered, even using the formal "you" in his address.

Lin Yi saw that the visitor was Chang Yongchun and nodded slightly: "County Chief Chang, it's no trouble at all, please have a seat."

"County Chief Lin, this is a document I had my office draft, about carrying out a county-wide safety inspection campaign. Please take a look."

Chang Yongchun took a document out of his briefcase and handed it to Lin Yi with both hands, showing great respect. "During the safety inspection campaign, I will personally lead a team to inspect the rectification of problems at the Shitan Coal Mine every day, as per your instructions, to ensure that all problems at the Shitan Coal Mine are rectified and safety hazards are completely eliminated. At the same time, I will also publicize the county committee's plan for dealing with the problems at the Shitan Coal Mine!"

"County Chief Chang's work approach is clear and his actions are swift; I should learn from him." Lin Yi understood the unspoken meaning behind Chang Yongchun's words.

Whether it was Chang Yongchun's humble use of the formal "you" when he entered, or his report just now, it was all an attempt to curry favor with Lin Yi!

Lin Yi decided to give Chang Yongchun a chance.

According to his memories from his previous life, Chang Yongchun did not engage in any other corrupt activities besides eating, drinking, and accepting cigarettes, alcohol, and New Year's red envelopes. His problem was much smaller than Ma Rui's.

For Lin Yi, bringing Chang Yongchun under his wing was far more valuable than dealing with him.

“County Chief Lin, I should learn from your magnanimity! From now on, I will resolutely obey your orders, implement your work instructions, and do my best to ensure the county’s work safety!” Chang Yongchun was very excited and quickly offered his pledge of loyalty.

Although the mistakes he made were minor, the issues could range from minor to serious, ranging from dismissal to disciplinary action. The key lies in Lin Yi's attitude!

To put it bluntly, his testicles are in Lin Yi's hands!

Since Lord Lin Yi is forgiving and willing to give him a chance, he must seize it!

"County Chief Chang, let's work together to provide better service to the people."

Lin Yi spoke again, subtly reminding Chang Yongchun that although Chang Yongchun's responsibility would not be pursued for the time being, his performance would still be observed.

"Yes, County Chief Lin!" Chang Yongchun immediately accepted the order, and then, seeing Lin Yi pick up a teacup, he voluntarily left the office.

Lin Yi walked to the window, looked at the scenery in the county committee compound, and couldn't help but sigh, "Life is truly unpredictable."

In his past life, he dreamed of bringing prosperity to his hometown, but fate dealt him a cruel blow, and he wasted half his life.

In his life, he became the executive deputy county head of Qinghe County at the age of 28, and everything went smoothly for him.

As he sighed, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of Xu Shimeng.

In this life, he was able to have such a smooth journey not only because of the power of the prophet and the rescue of Xiao Yuan, but also because of Xu Shimeng's help.

Thinking of Xu Shimeng, Lin Yi walked to his desk, took out his phone, logged into QQ, and found that Xu Shimeng had sent him a photo and a text message: "Lin Yi, following the ideas you provided, I have started a column called 'A Date with Shimeng,' which mainly discusses hot topics."

Lin Yi ignored the text and focused his attention on the photo.

The photo was taken in an interview room with the words "Poetry Dream Appointment" written on it.

Xu Shimeng wore a beige business suit with black stockings covering her beautiful legs. She sat upright with a dignified posture and a bright, radiant smile.

Elegant, intellectual, beautiful...

Various descriptions can be used to describe Xu Shimeng's photo; she is so beautiful that Lin Yi is somewhat dazed.

After a moment of confusion, Lin Yi replied with a message: Shimeng, you look great in this photo.

"Heh, did I show you photos? I wanted you to know that I'm very efficient!"

Xu Shimeng replied to the message with a lie, her smile becoming even brighter, and she was in a very good mood.

She picked up the coffee on the table, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the bustling city of Beijing, and murmured to herself, "County Chief Lin, you have to keep up the good work! I look forward to the day you transform from a dragon into a dragon!"
