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

After finishing his conversation with He Hua, Hu Zhilei, the Minister of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, went to Lin Yi's office and talked with Lin Yi for half an hour.

Because Hu Zhilei knew very well that the upheaval in Qinghe County's officialdom was entirely caused by Lin Yi.

Lin Yi's victory in the struggle against Wei Dongqing made Hu Zhilei realize that Lin Yi's future was limitless, so he naturally wanted to further improve their relationship.

At noon, Lin Yi, He Hua, and other members of the new Qinghe County Party Committee had lunch with Hu Zhilei.

Then, He Hua invited Lin Yi to his office for tea.

This left Lin Yi somewhat dazed.

Because on the day he took office in Qinghe, He Hua also invited him to his office for tea.

That day, He Hua wanted to use his support for Lin Yi's work in exchange for Lin Yi acting as a go-between for him, siding with Xiao Yuan, and competing for the position of county party secretary.

Although He Hua successfully joined Xiao Yuan's camp, he failed to succeed Zhou Hongjian because Wei Dongqing suddenly arrived in Qinghe County. He only got his wish today.

"Brother, I was able to become the county party secretary entirely thanks to your help, thank you!" He Hua made Lin Yi a cup of tea and then thanked him.

Although he didn't know the real reason why Wei Dongqing was dismissed from his post, he knew that it was definitely related to Lin Yi!

"Brother He, the organization's decision to appoint you as the Party Secretary of Qinghe County is an affirmation of your work ability and also shows that the provincial and municipal leaders are very satisfied with your work. I only played a supporting role," Lin Yi replied with a smile.

He Hua was both amused and exasperated: "Brother, let's not be so formal. I invited you over for tea not only to thank you, but also to discuss our future division of labor. I will mainly be responsible for the work of the county committee, while you will be fully responsible for the work of the county government."

"Brother He, is this appropriate?" Lin Yi was slightly surprised.

He knew that He Hua would definitely support his work, but he was still somewhat surprised that He Hua had completely delegated authority to him and put him in charge of the county government's work.

“Brother, in my opinion, this is the most suitable division of labor!” He Hua said with a smile. He knew very well that without Lin Yi, he would not have been able to become the county party secretary.

Moreover, Hu Zhilei, the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, had specifically reminded him during a previous conversation that his concurrent appointment as secretary and county head was at the behest of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. The aim was to reduce internal friction within the Qinghe County Party Committee leadership and to require him and Lin Yi to unite and accelerate the economic transformation of Qinghe County.

How could he not understand the meaning behind this?

"Then I'll follow Brother He's arrangements!" Lin Yi sensed that He Hua wasn't just being polite or joking, so he didn't stand on ceremony.

After all, for him, if he had full authority over the work of the county government, many things would be easier to resolve, and his ideas and plans would be easier to implement.

That afternoon, He Hua convened the first meeting of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee since taking office as the County Party Secretary. At the meeting, he asked the members of the leadership team to unite and work together to do a good job in all aspects of Qinghe County's work.

the next morning.

He Hua, in his capacity as county head, presided over an enlarged meeting of the county government's executive committee.

In addition to members of the county government's party group, the heads of various bureaus in the county also attended the meeting.

"Comrades, there are two purposes for convening this expanded meeting of the Standing Committee today."

At the start of the meeting, He Hua began by explaining the main theme: "First, we must earnestly study the spirit of Minister Hu's speech at yesterday's cadre meeting and thoroughly understand the Municipal Party Committee's instructions for Qinghe County. Comrade Lin Yi and I have discussed the division of labor: starting today, Comrade Lin Yi will be fully responsible for the work of the county government, and everyone must fully support Comrade Lin Yi's work!"

When He Hua announced the first meeting topic, everyone present except Lin Yi was shocked!

None of them expected that He Hua would entrust the work of the county government entirely to Lin Yi.

This means that Lin Yi will exercise the powers of the county head in his capacity as executive deputy county head!

This is the first time in the history of officialdom in Qinghe and even Yunshan!

"The second agenda item is to further deploy the economic transformation work in Qinghe. Next, relevant departments will give reports, and then County Head Lin will give work instructions." After the attendees had digested the decision that Lin Yi would be in charge of the county government, He Hua spoke again and announced the second agenda item of the meeting.

Subsequently, all units related to Qinghe County's economic transformation work reported on their work progress, existing problems, solutions, and key tasks for the next stage at the meeting.

After everyone finished reporting, Lin Yi began to give work instructions: "Comrades, the economic transformation of Qinghe County is the top priority of the county government's work now and for a long time to come. I have just listened to your reports, and each unit has done a lot of work and achieved certain results. Thank you for your hard work. Now, I would like to make two requests:"

"First, implement a strict performance evaluation system. The office should promptly develop management and performance evaluation methods based on the requirements of weekly reports, monthly scheduling, quarterly briefings, semi-annual evaluations, and year-end assessments..."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's first words, everyone except He Hua changed their expressions.

Because, whether it's an organization or an individual, the thing they fear most in their work is quantified tasks and performance evaluations.

Moreover, the assessment method proposed by Lin Yi has not been fully implemented at this time, and they have never even heard of it!

Lin Yi took in everyone's expressions and continued, "Secondly, we must provide excellent services to businesses. We must not only manage businesses according to laws and regulations, but also enhance our service awareness and serve them well, especially those businesses we have painstakingly attracted to invest in. Regarding this work, the county government will hold regular symposiums for private entrepreneurs to help them solve problems encountered in investment, production, and operation..."

"Brother Lin Yi always manages to surprise us!" He Hua couldn't help but sigh inwardly after hearing Lin Yi's two work instructions.

Both the management and assessment methods mentioned by Lin Yi and his suggestion that the government needs to enhance its service awareness are innovative approaches to work.

"County Chief Lin is about to make a big splash!" The other attendees realized that Lin Yi was about to accomplish something big!

Lin Yi is indeed going to make a big splash.

Whether for his own career advancement or for Lao Xu and Liang Yumin.

In order to support Lin Yi, Xu Hongrui joined forces with Liang Yumin to create a perfect stage for Lin Yi. Lin Yi now has the advantage of timing, location, and popular support!

In this situation, if Lin Yi fails to successfully complete the economic transformation of Qinghe County, it means that Lin Yi only understands theory and cannot verify theory with practice. He will no longer be able to gain the attention of the central leadership, which is equivalent to failing the second half of the major test for Qinghe County!

When that time comes, the Wei and Zhao families will definitely make a big fuss about this—you transferred Wei Dongqing away and stripped him of his position, creating perfect conditions for Lin Yi, and this is the result?

If it really comes to that, Xu Hongrui only has two choices:

They either have to compromise with the Wei and Zhao families and reinstate Wei Dongqing in order to protect Lin Yi, or they have to abandon Lin Yi and let him bear the wrath of the Wei and Zhao families.

In the former case, Xu Hongrui lost face completely; in the latter case, Lin Yi's future path will be extremely difficult!

Neither of these consequences is what Lin Yi wants!

He wanted to deliver a perfect score to repay Xu Hongrui and Liang Yumin for their support, leaving the Wei and Zhao families helpless!
