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

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xiao Yuan walked to the side of Liang Yumin, the provincial party secretary, and took out his mobile phone.

Seeing this, Liang Yumin said, "Comrade Xiao Yuan, turn on your phone on speakerphone."

"Okay, Secretary Liang."

Following Liang Yumin's instructions, Xiao Yuan dialed Lin Yi's number, turned on speakerphone, and then placed the phone on the conference table in front of Liang Yumin.

"Hello, Mayor Xiao."

Lin Yi waited patiently for Xiao Yuan's call and answered it almost instantly.

"Comrade Lin Yi, I am Liang Yumin."

When Liang Yumin spoke, his tone was gentle, a stark contrast to how he had treated Wei Dongqing before.

"Hello, Secretary Liang."

Lin Yi was slightly taken aback.

According to his calculations, Liang Yumin will definitely give Wei Dongqing a thorough dressing-down at the meeting, and the recommended plan for the pilot project of economic transformation in Qinghe County will become an official document today.

But he didn't expect that Liang Yumin would actually call him personally.

"Comrade Lin Yi, I just heard Mayor Xiao say that you encountered problems leading your team to attract investment in Jiangnan. Various companies are questioning the efficiency of the Qinghe County government and the business environment because the implementation plan you provided for the pilot project of economic transformation in Qinghe County is only a draft for discussion, right?"

"Yes, Secretary Liang."

"Comrade Lin Yi, why is this proposal still only a draft for discussion?"

"Secretary Liang, regarding this plan, County Head He and I have repeatedly applied to Secretary Wei to convene a meeting of the Standing Committee of the County Committee for review, but Secretary Wei has been unable to attend due to his research in various townships. Later, Secretary He of the Municipal Party Committee came to Qinghe for research and held an on-site meeting, giving important instructions on the pilot work of Qinghe County's economic transformation. The day after Secretary He's research, Secretary Wei organized a meeting of the Standing Committee of the County Committee to review the plan, but the plan was ultimately not approved."

Lin Yi reported calmly.

This bastard!

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Wei Dongqing's face turned deathly pale. He wished he could fly to Jiangnan right now and stab Lin Yi to death!

He Qingyun was so angry that his facial muscles were twitching!

According to Lin Yi, Wei Dongqing convened a meeting of the county party committee standing committee immediately after He Qingyun's investigation, but the plan was not approved.

This inevitably leads people to speculate that Wei Dongqing was instructed by He Qingyun to deliberately prevent the proposal from being approved!

Lin Yi is clearly trying to stir up trouble!

However, when He Qingyun held a meeting in Qinghe County that day, in order to support Wei Dongqing, he said things that were biased towards Wei Dongqing and did not show any support for the economic transformation pilot work in Qinghe County at all!

How does he explain it?

Will Liang Yumin, the provincial party secretary, believe this?

Besides, at this critical juncture, would he dare to explain?

As expected, after hearing Lin Yi's report, Liang Yumin glanced at He Qingyun with a gloomy expression.

That one glance almost suffocated He Qingyun!

“Secretary Liang, after the Yunshan investment promotion symposium, I wanted to take advantage of the successful conclusion of the meeting and the opportunity of BYD and BOE investing in production lines in Qinghe County to contact and visit some companies in Jiangnan, hoping to attract these companies to invest in Qinghe as soon as possible. However, I did not expect that they would question our government’s efficiency and investment and business environment because of the detail that the plan was a draft for discussion. This was my mistake.”

Just then, Lin Yi spoke up again, admitting his mistake and making a solemn pledge:

"But please rest assured, Secretary Liang, I will report this matter to Secretary Wei as soon as I return, and request again to convene a meeting of the County Party Committee Standing Committee to review the plan. As soon as the plan is approved, I will contact all major enterprises immediately..."

"Comrade Lin Yi, you don't need to report to Wei Dongqing anymore; he's right here in the meeting. He heard everything you said. The implementation plan for the Qinghe County economic transformation pilot project also doesn't need to be submitted to the County Party Committee Standing Committee again. Tell all the companies that I personally organized the meeting during my research trip to Qinghe and approved this plan. Rest assured, the efficiency of the Dongjiang government at all levels is very high, and the investment and business environment in various places is excellent. We welcome them to invest!"

Liang Yumin interrupted Lin Yi and immediately approved the plan.

Discussion draft, i.e., the official document!

"Yes, Secretary Liang!"

Lin Yi accepted the order, feigning excitement in his tone.

But in reality, his expression was calm as still water; everything was within his expectations.

According to his deduction, if Liang Yumin, the provincial party secretary, were to visit Qinghe for research and hear that the plan had not been approved, he would definitely be furious, not to mention that it would affect the work of attracting investment.

Liang Yumin didn't say anything more, ended the call directly, returned the phone to Xiao Yuan, and then began a speech that lasted for nearly an hour, almost entirely focused on the economic transformation of Dongjiang, with particular emphasis on the two pilot projects in Yunshan and Qinghe.

Whether it was He Qingyun or Wei Dongqing, although they were physically present at the meeting, their minds were already far away.

Lin Yi publicly complained today, stirring up trouble and making them lose face in front of Provincial Party Secretary Liang Yumin and other provincial leaders. They must feel incredibly aggrieved!

That sense of frustration made them unable to help but look at Xiao Yuan with a cold gaze several times.

Xiao Yuan took in everything, and then suddenly reported after Liang Yumin finished speaking:

"Secretary Liang, Comrade Lin Yi just sent me a message. He said that after our call ended, he immediately contacted various companies to convey your instructions. The company leaders all had their doubts dispelled and expressed their willingness to invest in Qinghe County. Comrade Lin Yi and they agreed that the Qinghe government will hold an investment promotion conference in a few days, inviting them, along with BOE and BYD, to participate. The Qinghe government and the companies will sign cooperation agreements at the conference and contact the media for coverage, firing the first shot in Qinghe County's economic transformation!"

"Good, good! Comrade Lin Yi did a great job!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's report again, Liang Yumin was so happy that he said "good" three times, and his smile was exceptionally bright.

Firstly, the problems encountered by Qinghe in attracting investment have been solved.

Secondly, Lin Yi proposed holding an investment promotion conference and inviting media to publicize it, which would be the first shot in Qinghe County's economic transformation and would make Qinghe a pioneer in the country's economic transformation, and would definitely attract the attention of the central leadership.

Lin Yi was able to do all of this because of Liang Yumin's instructions just now...

It's not that I, Lin Yi, am capable; it's all thanks to Secretary Liang's wise leadership!

"Is this okay?"

The leaders present all looked at He Qingyun and Wei Dongqing with pity.

Wei Dongqing stole Lin Yi's credit.

He Qingyun's support for Wei Dongqing created obstacles to Qinghe County's economic transformation, leading to the failure of the pilot program for Qinghe County's economic transformation to be approved and hindering Qinghe County's efforts to attract investment.

Provincial Party Secretary Liang Yumin personally called Lin Yi and approved the plan. In less than an hour, all the problems were solved.

This is Qiao'er's mother opening the door for Qiao'er—she's so lucky to be home!

Is that a coincidence?

He Qingyun and Wei Dongqing were perfectly aware of the situation. They were so angry that their faces turned pale, their blood pressure soared, and they almost fainted in the meeting room!

Is that a coincidence?

"Comrades, based on the information just sent by Comrade Lin Yi, I'd like to say a few more words. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has designated the integrated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta as a national strategy, requiring these three regions to lead a new round of reform and innovation!"

What does it mean to lead?

Qinghe County, which relies almost entirely on the coal mining industry and has a weak industrial base, held an investment promotion conference, inviting numerous companies including BYD and BOE to participate. Cooperation agreements were signed at the conference, marking the first step in Qinghe County's economic transformation, and the entire event was covered by the media…

Comrade Lin Yi, through his work approach and methods, showed us the answer—this is innovation, this is leadership!

Provincial Party Secretary Liang Yumin felt it was not 'coincidence' at all. He praised Lin Yi with delight and instructed the Executive Deputy Minister of the Propaganda Department, who had accompanied him on the research trip:

"Minister Min, given Comrade Lin Yi's forward-thinking approach, down-to-earth work style, ability to validate theory through practice, and willingness to lead innovation, he has made tremendous contributions to the economic development, reform, and industrial transformation of our province! I suggest that the Publicity Department do a good job of reporting on Comrade Lin Yi's advanced deeds and call on all Party members and cadres in the province to learn from Comrade Lin Yi..."

"Yes, Secretary Liang!"

Min Shenghong, the executive deputy director of the publicity department, accepted the order immediately.

He Qingyun and Wei Dongqing both felt their heads buzzing.

Lin Yi was not present at the meeting, but he became the focus of the meeting and will be the role model for cadres throughout the province!

As the top officials of the city and county, they became nothing more than background figures for Lin Yi!

Where does this make sense?
