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

The news broadcast featured the Qinghe County Investment Promotion Conference, and County Head Lin was interviewed!

the next day.

This incident, like a storm, swept through Qinghe County.

Discussions can be heard everywhere in the county's government offices!

This is the first time in Qinghe County's history that it has been featured on CCTV's national news program, and everyone is proud!

Not only Qinghe, but also the officialdom of Yunshan and even Dongjiang was alarmed!

At the same time, many officials across the country, especially the top leaders of the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions, paid attention to this news and felt extremely envious of Liang Yumin, the Party Secretary of Dongjiang Province!

It's one thing for the future son-in-law of the Xu family to be under your command, but to be so outstanding as well?

Even the elders of the major wealthy families in Beijing paid attention to this news, wanting to see what kind of man the Xu family girl had found!

Lin Yi's transformation from a rising star in Dongjiang Province's officialdom to a rising star in China's political arena has thus confirmed Xu Shimeng's recent prediction: he has gone from being a hot commodity in Dongjiang Province's officialdom to a rising star in China's political arena!

however--

The once-glorious County Magistrate Lin was now working like a dog for the next few days.

The Qinghe Industrial Park was renovated and improved, land was allocated to various enterprises for factory construction, provincial and municipal funding support was implemented, a graduate employment cooperation agreement was signed with Yunshan Technical College, the employment problems of enterprises attracted by investment were helped to be solved, and the restructuring of other township enterprise-controlled coal mines and private coal mines by the Provincial Donghua Group was promoted...

These tasks must be led by Lin Yi or completed in cooperation with County Head He Hua.

In addition, he also took the time to work with the Provincial Party Committee's Publicity Department to film a promotional video, becoming a role model for Party members and cadres throughout the province!

August arrived before we knew it, and the whole country was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of welcoming the Olympics. Qinghe County's economic transformation work was progressing rapidly.

County Party Secretary Wei Dongqing never opposed this work again, nor did he create any obstacles for it, nor did he cause any more trouble for Lin Yi.

This surprised Lin Yi somewhat.

But reason told him that Wei Dongqing dared not go against the policies of the central government and the province, and could not make a fuss about the economic transformation of Qinghe County, but he would never easily admit defeat.

After all, Wei Dongqing has always been known for his assertiveness since he started working.

Moreover, Wei Dongqing has the Wei family and Zhao family as his backers.

August 1st.

Early in the morning, Lin Yi suddenly received a phone call from Chen Yuan, the director of the county party committee office:

"County Chief Lin, Secretary Wei is organizing a democratic life meeting for the county party committee members at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Please attend on time."

"Okay, Director Chen."

Lin Yi responded calmly, secretly wondering what Wei Dongqing's purpose was in convening the democratic life meeting.

The next day, at 8:55 a.m.

Lin Yi arrived at the conference room.

"County Chief Lin."

Apart from Wei Dongqing, He Hua, and Zhang Tieshan, the deputy secretary and secretary of the discipline inspection commission, all other members of the county party committee were present and took the initiative to greet Lin Yi.

Since Lin Yi gained the upper hand in his struggle against Wei Dongqing, Zhang Jun, the county's armed forces minister, has firmly sided with Lin Yi.

With Zhang Jun's addition, Lin Yi's side secured six votes in the county party committee standing committee, firmly grasping control of the committee.

After Lin Yi appeared on the evening news, both the county propaganda minister and the united front minister showed a tendency to side with Lin Yi.

Only Zhang Tieshan, the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and the head of the organization department continued to stand firmly on Wei Dongqing's side.

8:58.

He Hua entered the meeting room with a teacup, greeted everyone, nudged Lin Yi's arm, and then glanced at Zhang Tieshan's seat, hinting to Lin Yi that there might be some trouble at today's democratic meeting.

Because Zhang Tieshan usually arrives at the meeting venue five minutes early.

Lin Yi nodded, indicating that he understood and was prepared to deal with any situation that came his way.

Nine o'clock.

Wei Dongqing and Zhang Tieshan entered the conference room together.

"Comrades, today, in accordance with organizational regulations, we are holding a democratic life meeting to conduct criticism and self-criticism. We will adhere to seeking truth from facts, speak of Party spirit rather than personal feelings, and speak of truth rather than saving face. Following the requirements of 'looking in the mirror, straightening one's clothes, taking a bath, and curing one's illness,' we will offer our opinions seriously and earnestly, and help our comrades with all our enthusiasm, so as to achieve the goals of unifying our thinking, enhancing unity, supervising each other, and improving together."

After Wei Dongqing took his seat, he solemnly delivered his opening remarks for the meeting, and then made a startling statement:

"In order to have a good democratic life meeting today, I will first take the lead in making a self-criticism."

Ok?

Everyone, including Lin Yi, was taken aback by Wei Dongqing's words.

Wei Dongqing is acting strangely today!

Wei Dongqing took in everyone's expressions and continued:

"As the county party secretary and head of the county party committee, I previously did not pay enough attention to the county's economic transformation, lacked a deep understanding of it, and provided insufficient support..."

Could it be that I guessed wrong, and Wei Dongqing didn't intend to cause trouble?

When Lin Yi heard Wei Dongqing offer a self-criticism regarding the problems in his work on economic transformation, and his words were sharp, he couldn't help but exchange a glance with He Hua.

Shouldn't.

Immediately, Lin Yi dismissed the thought in his mind.

He still couldn't believe that Wei Dongqing, who had always been assertive, would voluntarily bow down after being repeatedly taught a lesson by him and losing control of the county party committee standing committee.

This involves not only face and dignity, but also the opinion of superiors on Wei Dongqing.

The fact that the county party secretary cannot control the overall situation indicates a lack of organizational skills and an inability to lead and unite his colleagues!

After Wei Dongqing finished his self-criticism, he took a sip of tea and then turned his gaze to Zhang Tieshan, the deputy secretary of the county party committee and secretary of the discipline inspection commission.

"Just now, the Party Secretary took the lead in self-criticism, which set a good precedent for today's democratic life meeting. Now, I will also conduct self-criticism."

Zhang Tieshan first flattered Wei Dongqing, then said in a deep voice:

“For some time, the county’s main task has been economic transformation. As the deputy secretary of the county party committee and secretary of the discipline inspection commission, I did not participate much in this work and did not play my due role. Moreover, I did not take a strict and effective approach to the work of the discipline inspection commission, which led to an unhealthy trend among the cadres. At the same time, because a certain comrade held an important position and was responsible for important work, and was highly valued by the provincial and municipal leaders, I failed to stop this unhealthy trend in a timely manner in accordance with organizational discipline and party principles, nor did I investigate the problems of this comrade.”

In an instant.

Apart from Lin Yi and Wei Dongqing, the expressions of all the attendees changed!

Zhang Tieshan appears to be engaging in self-criticism, but in reality, he is directing his criticism at Lin Yi!

Because, looking at the entire Qinghe County, Lin Yi is the one most valued by the higher-ups!

Lin Yi was naturally well aware of the situation, but instead of directly confronting them as he usually did, he wanted to see what new tricks Wei Dongqing and Zhang Tieshan would pull today!

He Hua, however, couldn't sit still any longer and interrupted Zhang Tieshan directly:

"Secretary Tieshan, since this is a democratic life meeting, let's not be mysterious and just call out names directly."

"County Chief He, I was referring to Comrade Lin Yi."

Zhang Tieshan is no longer performing; he's started calling out names.

Lin Yi smiled slightly: "Secretary Tieshan, since you've brought up my problem, then explain it clearly, help me take a bath, and cure my illness."

"Comrade Lin Yi, according to the information we have gathered, you have abused your position and influence to seek benefits for your relatives. You invested in your uncle, Lin Zhengjun, who opened a restaurant called Qinghe Zhiguang in Qinghe County. Many units in the county frequently dine at your uncle's restaurant. In fact, Shen Chuchu, the deputy director of the county public security bureau, practically makes your uncle's restaurant her regular haunt, taking people there every few days. This is the unhealthy trend I just mentioned!"

Zhang Tieshan said with a serious expression:

"But this is only the surface issue. The deeper question is whether Comrade Lin Yi secretly holds shares in his uncle's restaurant and seeks personal gain? And whether there was any transfer of benefits among the cadres who dined at his uncle's restaurant?"

Upon hearing Zhang Tieshan's words, County Head He Hua, County Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary and Public Security Bureau Chief Lu Ming, County Armed Forces Minister Zhang Jun, and two Standing Committee members and deputy county heads all frowned.

They all knew that after Lin Zhengjun's restaurant opened, some government officials did go there to eat.

But this was a trivial matter, yet Zhang Tieshan made a big deal out of it!

Lin Yi's smile remained unchanged: "Secretary Tieshan, is there any more?"

“Comrade Lin Yi, I suggest you first explain the issue I just mentioned, and then offer your self-criticism,” Zhang Tieshan said in a deep voice.

"Okay, then I'll explain it to you comrades."

First, my uncle, Lin Zhengjun, did indeed open a restaurant called Qinghe Zhiguang. However, I did not invest in the restaurant, nor did I own any shares or receive any profits. The money to open the restaurant was a loan I gave to my uncle, and he specifically gave me an IOU.

Secondly, I have never contacted any organization or individual to arrange for someone to dine at Qinghe Zhiguang Hotel.

Third, my uncle's restaurant isn't even considered a mid-range restaurant; its price level is the average for Qinghe County. He's just earning a meager living through hard work, and it has absolutely nothing to do with any form of bribery.

Lin Yi suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice.

Zhang Tieshan immediately retorted:

"Comrade Lin Yi, your uncle's restaurant is indeed not high-end, but it attracts a lot of customers who come frequently. For example, Shen Chuchu, the deputy director of the county public security bureau, takes people there to eat every few days. Over time, the expenses add up to a considerable amount, don't you think?"

"Comrade Zhang Tieshan, when you talk about problems and criticize people, you must be realistic and speak with evidence, not just make things up!"

This time, before Lin Yi could speak, Lu Ming, the secretary of the county's political and legal committee and director of the public security bureau, directly refuted Zhang Tieshan's words.

Zhang Tieshan's expression changed, and he became somewhat annoyed: "Comrade Lu Ming, what do you mean?"

"As the secretary of the county political and legal committee and the director of the public security bureau, I can tell you clearly that Comrade Shen Chuchu has never had her meals at Qinghe Restaurant reimbursed through the county public security bureau's finance department! If you don't believe me, you can have the discipline inspection staff investigate the county public security bureau's financial reimbursement vouchers! As long as they find that Comrade Shen Chuchu has ever reimbursed an invoice for a meal at Qinghe Zhiguang Restaurant, I will immediately resign!" Lu Ming said coldly.

Zhang Tieshan was stunned.

According to clues obtained by the Discipline Inspection Commission, Shen Chuchu often took people to Qinghe Restaurant for meals, but he did not know that Shen Chuchu never asked for invoices for reimbursement.

Shen Chuchu either treats everyone to a meal herself or splits the bill with her colleagues.

Wei Dongqing raised an eyebrow.

He had carefully prepared for this democratic life meeting, but he didn't expect it to go wrong right from the start. Not only did Lu Ming take the initiative to speak up for Lin Yi, but he also said that he would resign to take responsibility!

This shows that Lu Ming was absolutely certain that Zhang Tieshan had not done his job carefully and had not grasped the true situation!

“Comrade Zhang Tieshan, without any investigation, you maliciously accused Comrade Lin Yi and slandered the County Public Security Bureau. I seriously suspect that you want to use the democratic life meeting to instigate a struggle!”

Just as Zhang Tieshan was dumbfounded and Wei Dongqing frowned, Lu Ming spoke again, launching a fierce counterattack!

Zhang Tieshan, it's one thing for you to be Wei Dongqing's pawn, but you actually pointed your gun at Lin Yi.

You are so awesome, why don’t you go to heaven?

What if we didn't exist?!
