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

three days later.

A meeting of the Political Bureau was held at the higher level, where participants discussed relevant issues, reached a consensus, and set the tone for the important meeting in October.

On the day the meeting concluded, Lin Yi waited in his office for the official media to release the meeting's press release.

As a result, before he could even receive the press release for the meeting, he received a call from Chen Yuan, the director of the county party committee office: "County Chief Lin, Secretary Wei is going to the county industrial park for research at 3 p.m. this afternoon. Will you accompany him?"

Chen Yuan relayed Wei Dongqing's orders, but it sounded more like she was giving the orders to Lin Yi herself, her tone arrogant.

Ever since He Qingyun, the municipal party secretary, came to Qinghe to support Wei Dongqing, Wei Dongqing has been in high spirits. Even his secretary and Chen Yuan, the director of the county party committee office, have started to become arrogant.

Lin Yi sneered, "Director Chen, are you ordering me to do something?"

“County Chief Lin, this is not my idea, it is Secretary Wei’s idea.”

Chen Yuan was taken aback, and said unhappily.

"understood."

Lin Yi gave a cold reply, knowing in his heart that Wei Dongqing's sudden invitation to accompany him on the research trip was definitely not for good reasons.

Normally, Lin Yi would probably ask for leave under the pretext of other work to avoid going.

But today is the day the official media releases the press release of the Politburo meeting, and Wei Dongqing's good days are coming to an end.

2:50 p.m.

Lin Yi arrived at the Qinghe County Industrial Park by car.

Wang Cheng, the Party Secretary of the Industrial Park, and Liu Qi, the Director of the County Investment Promotion Bureau, were already waiting at the park entrance with their entourage.

"County Chief Lin."

Wang Cheng and Liu Qi were both taken aback when they saw Lin Yi get out of the car.

They hadn't expected that Lin Yi would also participate in today's survey.

After their initial surprise, they all led their subordinates to greet Lin Yi.

Although they all knew that Lin Yi and Wei Dongqing were at odds, and that Lin Yi had recently been suppressed by Wei Dongqing, Lin Yi was still a county leader, and they had to respect him.

"Secretary Wang, Director Liu."

Lin Yi smiled and responded to the two, then nodded slightly to the staff behind them.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Wang Cheng and Liu Qi wanted to say something, but when they saw the county committee's No. 1 special car arrive, they quickly swallowed back the words they were about to say.

At the same time, they shunned Lin Yi as if he were a plague, fearing that the county party secretary, Wei Dongqing, might mistakenly think they were close to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi saw all of this but didn't pay any attention to it.

Seeking advantage and avoiding harm is human nature, and it is also a basic principle for people in officialdom to protect themselves.

Soon, Wei Dongqing's Audi A6, bearing the county party committee's license plate number 1, stopped at the entrance of the industrial park. Wei Dongqing's secretary, Zhou De, got out of the car immediately and opened the back door.

Wei Dongqing and Chen Yuan got out of the car.

"Secretary Wei."

Wang Cheng and Liu Qi immediately led their men to surround Wei Dongqing, respectfully greeting him and smiling at Wei Dongqing's secretary Zhou De and Chen Yuan.

Lin Yi stood not far away, all alone, like an oasis in the desert, looking out of place.

"Is everyone here?"

Wei Dongqing nodded slightly, then asked Chen Yuan behind him in a nonchalant tone.

"Secretary, everyone is here, including County Chief Lin."

Chen Yuan responded, deliberately raising her voice, as if afraid Lin Yi wouldn't hear her.

As he finished speaking, everyone except Wei Dongqing glanced at Lin Yi in unison.

Lin Yi walked straight towards the crowd, but did not greet Wei Dongqing.

Wei Dongqing ignored Lin Yi and led everyone directly into the industrial park.

Lin Yi remained calm and silently followed beside him.

Upon entering the industrial park, it was very deserted, with hardly anyone in sight.

Lin Yi was aware of these circumstances.

When he was drafting the pilot work plan for economic transformation in Qinghe County, he made a special trip to the industrial park to conduct research and also analyzed the reasons behind it.

Qinghe County has a poor industrial base, and there were not many companies in the industrial park to begin with. As a result, many companies went bankrupt due to the impact of the US financial crisis.

Wei Dongqing led his men on a cursory tour of the industrial park, and his men took a bunch of photos.

Afterwards, Wei Dongqing presided over an on-site meeting in the office building of the industrial park.

At the start of the meeting, without waiting for reports from Wang Cheng, the secretary of the industrial park, and Liu Qi, the director of the county's investment promotion bureau, Wei Dongqing immediately turned his guns on Lin Yi:

"County Chief Lin Yi, you just saw the situation in the industrial park. What are your thoughts?"

"Secretary Wei, there are few companies in the industrial park, it's very deserted."

Lin Yi answered calmly.

Wei Dongqing sneered, "County Chief Lin Yi, you know the industrial park is deserted, huh? At the last county party committee meeting, we asked you to expedite the investment promotion work, but you haven't done anything for so long. You just sit in your office drinking tea every day. Do you really think companies will come to you and move into the park?"

Lin Yi remained silent.

He didn't go out to attract investment because the production plans of BYD and BOE in Yunshan have been delayed. They have only signed a general strategic cooperation agreement, but the specific cooperation agreement has not yet been signed.

The strategic cooperation agreement is only indicative and may be void at any time.

Under these circumstances, it would be pointless for Lin Yi to lead a team to attract investment; it would only be a waste of time.

"County Chief Lin Yi, economic development isn't about making decisions on a whim, but about being realistic and considering local conditions. Qinghe County's weak industrial base isn't a recent phenomenon; it's a long-standing problem. Given Qinghe County's situation, what can we rely on for economic transformation? Your promises of attracting investment and businesses, or your writings filled with empty fantasies?!"

Wei Dongqing continued to criticize Lin Yi.

Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "Qinghe County's economic transformation relies on the trends of the times and the support of national policies! After the founding of the People's Republic of my country, our industrial base was also weak, but hasn't it developed now? Pengcheng in the south used to be a small fishing village, but hasn't it also developed into a metropolis with the help of the reform and opening-up policy?"

"Hehe, Shenzhen is backed by Nangang, which has natural geographical advantages. It is a testing ground for reform and opening up, and the whole country supports its development."

What does Qinghe County have? How can it compare to Shenzhen?

You keep saying that Qinghe County is a pilot area for Yunshan's economic transformation, but has the central government provided policy support? Has the province provided financial support?

You have nothing to show for it, all you do is shout slogans all day long, but you can't recruit a single company! And you're talking about the trends of the times! Haha, you've only been in the workforce for a few years, how can you predict the trends of the times?

"If you're so capable, why don't you just fly to the moon?!"

Wei Dongqing, with a mocking expression, turned the on-site meeting into a personal denunciation session against Lin Yi.

This surprised Wang Cheng, the Party Secretary of the Industrial Park, and Liu Qi, the Director of the County Investment Promotion Bureau.

Although they all knew that Wei Dongqing and Lin Yi were at odds, they did not expect that Wei Dongqing would so rudely reprimand and humiliate Lin Yi!

Chen Yuan looked at Lin Yi with a mocking expression, as if to say: Lin Yi, weren't you so arrogant? Why aren't you arrogant anymore?!

"Buzz!"

Just then, Lin Yi's phone, which was on the table, vibrated.

Lin Yi picked up his phone and saw that it was a QQ message from Xu Shimeng, containing a link to the press release of the ZZ Bureau meeting.

This discovery caught Lin Yi's eye, and he quickly clicked on the link.

Seeing this, Wei Dongqing raised an eyebrow and angrily rebuked, "Lin Yi, we are in a meeting! I am talking to you, what do you mean by playing on your phone? Is this your work attitude? No organization, no discipline, you must review your work style at the next democratic life meeting!"

"Wei Dongqing, do you still remember the economic transformation plan for Qinghe County?"

Lin Yi addressed Wei Dongqing by his name directly and asked in a cold voice.

Wei Dongqing's face turned cold, and he said, "What do you mean?"

"Just now, the official statement from the Politburo meeting was released. It mentioned that we should increase the intensity of macro-control, adopt proactive fiscal policies, and strengthen investment in infrastructure and real estate! We should support independent innovation in science and technology and accelerate the upgrading of the manufacturing industry! The Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region should develop in an integrated manner, support the innovative development of these three regions, and lead a new round of reforms!"

Lin Yi held up his phone and read aloud the contents of the ZZ Bureau meeting press release in front of everyone, then coldly asked Wei Dongqing:

"Wei Dongqing, does what I just read seem familiar? Did you see it in the Qinghe County Economic Pilot Project Implementation Plan? Now, do you think I understand the trends of the times?!"

"—"

Wei Dongqing was speechless.

The answer is obvious.

Lin Yi continued to question: "You just said that Qinghe County has a weak industrial base and lacks national policy support, implying that you do not support Qinghe County's economic transformation. What do you say now?"

Wei Dongqing remained silent.

Lin Yi angrily rebuked, "Wei Dongqing, ever since you took office as the secretary of the Qinghe County Party Committee, you have consistently opposed and obstructed the pilot work of Qinghe County's economic transformation. Not only have you failed to implement the work instructions of the Provincial Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee, but you also do not align yourself with the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and instead go against its lead. You are a stumbling block to Qinghe's economic transformation and a sinner against reform!"

"you……"

Wei Dongqing was so angry that he trembled all over, felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his face turned ashen.

Those who do not align themselves with China and instead oppose it are the sinners of reform...

With these three labels being slapped on him, how could he possibly handle it?

"Wei Dongqing, the one who truly needs to make a self-criticism at the democratic life meeting is you! I even suggest you resign directly to take responsibility!!"

Lin Yi gave Wei Dongqing no chance to catch his breath and plunged a knife into Wei Dongqing's heart.

Lore!
