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

The county party committee standing committee meeting ended in an unpleasant atmosphere.

Wei Dongqing's attempt to put Lin Yi in a negative light at the county party committee meeting ended in failure.

This strengthened the resolve of those in the county who supported and sided with Lin Yi.

After getting off work, Lin Yi suddenly received a call from Chang Yongchun: "County Chief Lin, is this a convenient time to talk?"

"It's convenient, County Chief Chang, please tell me."

Lin Yi's heart stirred, and he vaguely guessed the purpose of Chang Yongchun's call.

The county party committee's standing committee decided to conduct a public opinion survey in Shitan Village, which theoretically should be carried out by Lin Yi.

But Wei Dongqing would definitely not let Lin Yi go.

As a result, Chang Yongchun, the deputy county head in charge of work safety, became one of the few candidates.

Firstly, the series of events in Shitan Village were caused by the Shitan Coal Mine collapse accident, so sending Chang Yongchun there makes sense.

Secondly, Chang Yongchun had a conflict with Lin Yi in Shitan Village, which was widely known in the county party committee and county government. However, no one knew that Chang Yongchun had secretly joined Lin Yi. Wei Dongqing was also kept in the dark and wanted to take advantage of the conflict between Lin Yi and Chang Yongchun!

"County Chief Lin, Secretary Wei spoke with me before leaving get off work and asked me to take charge of the village survey in Shitan Village." Sure enough, Chang Yongchun's words confirmed Lin Yi's judgment.

Lin Yi asked calmly, "What does County Chief Chang plan to do?"

"County Chief Lin, I'm calling to ask for your instructions. What do you think is the best course of action?"

“County Chief Chang, I believe this is a major issue concerning people’s livelihood. We must be realistic and avoid any mistakes.”

"County Chief Lin, I will strictly implement your instructions and requirements to ensure that the poll data is accurate and truthful!"

"We look forward to the outcome from County Chief Chang."

Lin Yi smiled slightly.

If he had initially doubted Chang Yongchun's stance and the purpose of his phone call, he was now certain that Chang Yongchun was using a tactic against him, that he was loyal to Chang Yongchun but had chosen his side.

Of course, Lin Yi also understood that Chang Yongchun made this choice not only because he had let Chang Yongchun off the hook before, but also because of his strong performance at the county party committee standing committee meeting that afternoon!

three days later.

Chang Yongchun successfully completed the task personally assigned by Wei Dongqing, organizing all the villagers of Shitan Village to vote on the restructuring of the Shitan Coal Mine.

More than 90% of the villagers agree that the Shitan Coal Mine should be owned by Donghua Group and that Donghua Group should be responsible for its production and operation!

After the poll results came out, Wei Dongqing was in a very bad mood.

Before he could figure out how to hold the second meeting of the county party committee standing committee, he received a call from the municipal government office with a notification: Mayor Xiao Yuan was going to Qinghe County Shitan Coal Mine for research today.

At the same time, Lin Yi also received a call from He Hua: "Brother, I just heard from Mayor Xiao's secretary Liu Xin that Mayor Xiao is going to the Shitan Coal Mine for an inspection today. Could this be your doing?"

Lin Yi said, "Brother He, this is Mayor Xiao's own idea. After learning about the results of the village survey in Shitan Village, he plans to go to Shitan Coal Mine for research."

He Hua smiled wryly: "Brother, Mayor Xiao isn't going on an inspection tour, he's clearly just showing up to support you!"

"Brother He, let me correct you. Mayor Xiao is supporting us and protecting Qinghe County's economic transformation pilot project!"

"Haha, well said!"

He Hua smiled happily.

3pm.

Wei Dongqing, accompanied by a group from the county committee, accompanied Xiao Yuan on a research trip to the Shitan Coal Mine.

After inspecting the accident site at the Shitan Coal Mine, Xiao Yuan convened an on-site meeting.

"Secretary Wei, please report on the handling of the Shitan Coal Mine accident and the progress of the Shitan Coal Mine restructuring." At the start of the meeting, Xiao Yuan directly called on Wei Dongqing to give a report.

"Yes, Mayor Xiao."

Wei Dongqing nodded in acceptance, his usual assertive demeanor replaced by a solemn expression.

He Hua deduced that Xiao Yuan was there to support Lin Yi, how could Wei Dongqing not know that?

"Mayor Xiao, since I took office in Qinghe, I have been very concerned about the work of the Shitan Coal Mine..."

Immediately, under Xiao Yuan's watchful gaze and imposing aura, Wei Dongqing gave a report.

The report was written by the County Party Committee Office, and it was basically based on the report written by the County Government Office, but with some changes. It omitted the part about Wei Dongqing convening the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee to re-examine the plan and the part about instructing relevant departments to conduct a public opinion survey in Shitan Village.

“Secretary Wei, I heard that on your first day as the secretary of the Qinghe County Party Committee, instead of going down to investigate, you immediately convened a meeting of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee to demand a re-examination of the Shitan Coal Mine restructuring plan and to conduct a public opinion poll in Shitan Village, right?” Xiao Yuan asked knowingly.

Wei Dongqing's face was grim: "Secretary Wei, I was acting out of consideration for stability at the time..."

"Have the poll results come out yet?"

Xiao Yuan coldly interrupted, refusing to listen to Wei Dongqing's explanation at all.

Wei Dongqing bowed his head and said, "Mayor Xiao, the poll shows that more than 90 percent of the villagers in Shitan Village agree that Donghua Group should restructure the Shitan Coal Mine."

"Secretary Wei, do you think Shitan Village is stable based on this poll result?" Xiao Yuan asked again.

This time, Wei Dongqing kept his head down, gripped his pen, and remained silent.

"Wei Dongqing, before you took office, the Qinghe County Party Committee had already submitted a proposal regarding the restructuring of the Shitan Coal Mine to its Standing Committee, and it was reviewed and approved! Furthermore, County Head He, on behalf of the Qinghe County Party Committee, reported to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. The Yunshan Municipal Government and Donghua Group held discussions and negotiations on this matter and signed a strategic cooperation agreement!"

As a result, after you took office, you demanded that the Qinghe County Party Committee re-examine the plan. What are you trying to do? To show off your abilities, Wei Dongqing, is that it?

Xiao Yuan spoke again, addressing Wei Dongqing by his full name and reprimanding him in front of everyone.

Wei Dongqing's face turned ashen. He said, "I'm sorry, Mayor Xiao. I apologize. It was my poor work style that caused this."

"Is your only problem your work style is a lack of integrity?"

Xiao Yuan retorted with a question, then launched into a tirade: "In my opinion, you don't take democratic rules seriously and want to run a one-man show in Qinghe County! At the same time, you don't take the work of the municipal party committee and government seriously either, completely disregarding the overall situation and showing no regard for political rules!"

"Snapped!"

As Xiao Yuan finished speaking, Wei Dongqing couldn't hold back any longer!

He was so angry that his blood pressure spiked, and he snapped the carbon pen in his hand in two!

Because the label Xiao Yuan put on was just too big!

It was so big that Wei Dongqing dared not accept it, nor could he handle it!

Even though he had a thousand and ten thousand reasons to be unwilling and unhappy, he could only clench his teeth and swallow his bruised teeth.

In terms of position, Xiao Yuan is the mayor, and is his superior.

In terms of background, the four major families behind Xiao Yuan could easily crush the Wei family!

More importantly, Xiao Yuan has secured justice and righteousness!

Wei Dongqing was completely outmatched and was instantly knocked out!

Despite feeling aggrieved, Wei Dongqing quietly clenched his fists, constantly reminding himself that patience would bring peace.

Just then, Xiao Yuan spoke again, his words aimed at destroying Wei's spirit: "Secretary Wei, my personal suggestion is that you learn from this lesson and learn more from the outstanding comrades around you, especially Comrade Lin Yi's work style of keeping the big picture in mind and being down-to-earth!"

"Yes, Mayor Xiao!"

Wei Dongqing lowered his head in response, his blood pressure soared, and he felt dizzy.

Lin Yi watched the show quietly, only to find that many people's gazes towards him had changed!
