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

Is Secretary Wei really that direct?

For a moment, the county party committee members, led by He Hua, were stunned.

Although they had all heard that the new county party secretary transferred from another place might be there because of Lin Yi.

But none of them expected that Wei Dongqing would so directly reprimand and humiliate Lin Yi!

Shocked, Zhang Tieshan and the other five members of the county party committee were secretly glad that they hadn't spoken to Lin Yi beforehand. Otherwise, if Chen Yuan had seen them, it wouldn't have been so easy for them to side with Wei Dongqing.

Yes.

They had carefully considered the issue of taking sides before today's meeting even began.

Although Lin Yi has Xiao Yuan's support, Wei Dongqing is, after all, the county party secretary, and he comes from the wealthy Wei family. There are even rumors that he is the leading figure of the younger generation of the Wei family!

Isn't this kind of status more impressive than Lin Yi's?

At the same time, He Hua, Lu Ming, and the two deputy county heads, who were also members of the Standing Committee, frowned after feeling the assertiveness shown by Wei Dongqing and even his blatant reprimand of Lin Yi.

He Hua and Lu Ming were both unhappy with Wei Dongqing's behavior.

The two deputy county heads who were members of the Standing Committee began to feel uneasy—were they really on the right side by standing with Lin Yi and He Hua?

next moment.

In the quiet conference room, Lin Yi's loud voice rang out:

"Secretary Wei, I heard that Director Chen was brought here by you. Since Director Chen is so ignorant, I'd appreciate it if you could discipline him properly in the future, or I wouldn't mind doing it for him!"

Faced with Wei Dongqing's forceful rebuke and even humiliation, Lin Yi retaliated with a powerful backhand slap!

I won't spoil them at all!

After Lin Yi learned from Xiao Yuan that Wei Dongqing's appointment as the county party secretary in Qinghe was aimed at him, he began to think about how to deal with it.

Originally, he wanted to see how Wei Dongqing would react before responding, similar to the strategy of countering moves in martial arts novels.

As a result, on his first day in office, Wei Dongqing was about to overturn the "Proposal on Handling Problems at the Coal Mine" drafted by Lin Yi.

You should know that the plan had already been approved by the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee!

In addition, before the start of the county party committee standing committee meeting, Wei Dongqing and Chen Yuan put on a show to deliberately disgust and warn Lin Yi!

How could Lin Yi tolerate this?

Do you want everyone to know your stance?

no problem.

I'll grant your wish!

No need to hide anything, let's fight!

"Uh……"

Before Zhang Tieshan and his group could even finish celebrating, they were stunned by Lin Yi's forceful words.

That's Wei Dongqing, the newly appointed county party secretary, and the leading figure of the younger generation of the Wei family!

As a result, Lin Yi didn't give him any face at all and directly confronted him!

He Hua and Lu Ming relaxed, feeling much better.

The two deputy county heads who were also members of the Standing Committee felt less worried.

For them, if Lin Yi chooses to back down or shows fear, then they will have to seriously consider whether they should continue to side with Lin Yi and He Hua in the future!

Now that Lin Yi has taken direct action, they are no longer worried!

Because Lin Yi demonstrated through his actions that he had the confidence and resources to confront Wei Dongqing!

Perhaps because he didn't expect Lin Yi to start a war directly, Wei Dongqing was stunned for several seconds, and then his expression became so gloomy that it could drip water!

Chen Yuan, who was attending the meeting, saw Wei Dongqing's unpleasant expression and said to Lin Yi with displeasure, "County Chief Lin Yi, what do you mean I'm Secretary Wei's man? How can you talk like that? You're being extremely disrespectful!"

"Director Chen, you're attending this meeting as an observer. Do you even know what it means to attend a meeting as an observer? If you don't, go and learn the regulations. If you do, then shut your mouth; you have no right to speak here!"

Lin Yi began to scold him harshly.

Previously, when Chen Yuan was being stubborn with Lin Yi as instructed by Wei Dongqing, Lin Yi wanted to teach Chen Yuan a lesson.

Now, Chen Yuan jumped out again to shield Wei Dongqing from the knife, and Lin Yi showed no mercy, stabbing Chen Yuan straight in the heart!

As expected, Chen Yuan was deeply hurt by Lin Yi's words, her face turning ashen with anger, but she was powerless to refute them.

According to regulations, those who attend meetings are individuals who do not have a formal right to speak at the meeting; they are invited to observe or learn about the meeting's content but cannot participate in the decision-making process.

Even if attendees have an extremely deep understanding of the meeting topics, they must apply to the chairperson and obtain the chairperson's permission before they can speak.

Well done!

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, He Hua and Lu Ming thought to themselves.

A mere county party committee office director dared to openly challenge the executive deputy county head at a county party committee standing committee meeting; he truly didn't know his place!

"County Chief Lin Yi, did I say the meeting has started?"

Just then, Wei Dongqing stared at Lin Yi like a wild beast eyeing its prey, his gaze terrifying.

Faced with Wei Dongqing's questioning, Lin Yi calmly picked up his teacup, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then said slowly and deliberately, "Secretary Wei, even if the meeting hadn't started, what does it mean that she suddenly interrupted our conversation? Does she have any sense of propriety? Or can she represent your opinion?"

"Hehe, County Chief Lin Yi has quite the airs of an official. But I understand, a 28-year-old executive deputy county chief would be arrogant if he were any young man. Besides, County Chief Lin Yi has always been by the side of the leaders and has no grassroots work experience at all."

Wei Dongqing sneered, mocking Lin Yi while cleverly changing the subject.

After saying this, he didn't give Lin Yi a chance to speak and continued, "Alright, let's start the meeting now."

Upon hearing Wei Dongqing mention a meeting, Lin Yi said nothing more.

Lin Yi suddenly fell silent.

Wei Dongqing's punch landed on cotton.

This also earned the secret praise of He Hua, Lu Ming, and the two deputy county heads who were also members of the Standing Committee.

Because if Wei Dongqing, who is presiding over the meeting, says that Lin Yi is still bringing up the previous issues after the meeting, then Lin Yi is not following the rules. It would be like Lin Yi sticking his face out to Wei Dongqing and letting Wei Dongqing slap him!

A glint flashed in Zhang Tieshan and the others' eyes. They suddenly realized that Lin Yi was not just someone who always showed off his abilities; he also knew when to advance and when to retreat.

"Today is my first day in office in Qinghe County. I'm holding this meeting of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee for two reasons."

First, this meeting will allow us to get to know each other better and deepen our understanding, which will benefit the county party committee's future work.

Seeing Lin Yi remain silent, Wei Dongqing's eyes flashed with surprise, but he continued to chair the meeting.

At this point, he turned his gaze to Lin Yi again and continued, "Secondly, the matter of Shitan Village has been widely discussed online, causing a great deal of public concern. I believe that in order to ensure the stability of Shitan Village and prevent further mass incidents, the restructuring of the Shitan Coal Mine needs to be carefully reconsidered. At the same time, the positions of the Shitan Village Party Secretary and the Shitan Coal Mine Manager cannot remain vacant indefinitely; they need to be elected as soon as possible according to procedure, and then production operations at the Shitan Coal Mine should be resumed as soon as possible!"

For the reasons stated above, I propose that the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee re-examine the "Proposal for Handling Problems at the Shitan Coal Mine"!

“Secretary Wei, the restructuring plan for the Shitan Coal Mine has already been approved by the County Party Committee Standing Committee and submitted to the Municipal Party Committee, receiving its support. Mayor Xiao even personally led a team to help us negotiate with Donghua Group of Dongjiang Province regarding the restructuring of the Shitan Coal Mine. Donghua Group and the city have signed a strategic cooperation agreement. Under these circumstances, is it inappropriate for us to convene another County Party Committee Standing Committee meeting to discuss and review the plan?”

As soon as Wei Dongqing finished speaking, He Hua frowned and raised a question.

He chaired the last meeting of the county party committee standing committee. Wei Dongqing's request to re-examine the plan is tantamount to negating his work and is also a sign of disrespect for Xiao Yuan!

Now that he's already associated with Xiao Yuan, how could he possibly agree to Wei Dongqing's proposal?

Besides, he had seen Wei Dongqing's reprimand of Lin Yi, so naturally he wanted to show his support for Lin Yi!

“County Chief He, I am aware of the situation you mentioned. The support from the Municipal Party Committee and Donghua Group is certainly a good thing, but we also need to consider the issue of stability.”

Wei Dongqing spoke in a cold voice, his tone leaving no room for doubt!

He Hua frowned.

Because stability is the prerequisite for all work.

As the county party secretary, Wei Dongqing insisted on using stability as a pretext, and the county party secretary couldn't really refute him.

Just then, Lin Yi spoke up again: "Secretary Wei, Shitan Village is very stable now, and the villagers all agree to the restructuring of Shitan Coal Mine. If you're convening a county party committee standing committee meeting to reconsider the plan for this reason, there's really no need!"

"Who told you that Shitan Village is stable? And who told you that the villagers of Shitan Village all agree to the restructuring of Shitan Coal Mine? Did you even conduct any research?"

Wei Dongqing immediately responded with three counter-questions.

"I'm sorry, I just conducted research in Shitan Village yesterday."

Lin Yi sneered, then posed a probing question, "Secretary Wei, as a great man once said, 'Without investigation, there is no right to speak.' You proposed convening a county party committee standing committee meeting and overturning the previous plan without conducting any investigation or understanding the actual situation. Did Liang Jingru give you the courage?!"
