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

A week before the Spring Festival, Lin Yi completed the planning document for Southeast Province and handed it over to You Changqing.

After doing all this, Lin Yi did not return to Nanxia, ​​but went straight back to the capital.

Anyway, since You Changqing told me to go back and rest well and prepare for my new position, I might as well take a vacation.

Because Lin Yi's family was going to the Xu family compound this year to spend the Spring Festival with the Xu family matriarch, Lin Yi took his wife and children back to Qinghe County before the Spring Festival to visit his parents, uncle, and aunt.

Although Lin Yi bought a house for his parents in Beijing, so the two elderly people don't have to worry about money, they spend most of their time in their hometown except when they are looking after their grandchildren.

This is where they have worked and lived most of their lives; it is where their relatives and friends live, and where their lives are.

My uncle's restaurant, Qinghe Zhiguang, has become a well-known restaurant in Qinghe County. Although it hasn't expanded much, you usually have to queue to eat there.

My aunt is still in the Finance Bureau, and has become the section chief of the county finance bureau.

Their children, under Lin Yi's planning and arrangement, all entered Gao Shuai's Huayin Company, and with the Lin family trust fund, they didn't have to worry about money. They worked purely to have something to do, just like some cleaning ladies in big cities who are billionaires—they didn't work to survive, but to live.

On New Year's Eve, Lin Yi's family arrived at the Xu family compound early in the morning. Other members of the Xu family also arrived one after another, and even Xu Hongrui arrived at home before the reunion dinner.

After the reunion dinner, the Xu family held a family meeting as usual. The meeting was chaired by Xu Hongrui, the current pillar of the Xu family. The main members reported on their work over the past year and their plans for the next step. The old lady listened in but did not say much.

After midnight, Xu Shimeng's uncle, aunt, and others left one after another. Lin Yi, Xu Shimeng, their two children, and Xu Hongrui and Wu Guizhen stayed behind to prepare to have dumplings with the old lady the next morning.

After the elderly and children had gone to sleep, Lin Yi chatted with Xu Hongrui in the study.

Looking at everything familiar in the study, Lin Yi thought of the old man who had shown him special favor. He felt a deep longing for the old man, and at the same time, he admired him greatly.

Whether a family can continue to prosper depends not only on the ability of its successors and the quality of the younger generation, but also on whether the family can remain united after the fall of its pillar. In more abstract terms, it depends on how well the family has managed its succession.

The Xu family is undoubtedly one of the best in this regard.

Just as Lin Yi was sighing inwardly, Xu Hongrui suddenly said, "Xiao Yi, do you know why I haven't spoken up when you've encountered problems since your grandfather passed away?"

“Dad, given your special status and the fact that next year is a crucial year, it’s not appropriate for you to be in the public eye. Keeping quiet is the right thing to do,” Lin Yi said.

"That's one reason, but it's the least important one."

Xu Hongrui said meaningfully, "The second reason is that you have never lost. I often tell your uncles this, and I have confidence in you. The third reason is that there are too many people helping you now, so it's not my turn to help."

Lin Yi was slightly taken aback, but upon closer reflection, it seemed to make sense. From Zhang Tongbin to Cao Guotao and now You Changqing, they had provided Lin Yi with various forms of assistance, making Lin Yi appear safe in Southeast China, even though it seemed dangerous.

"To send a fire-fighting secretary like You Changqing to Southeast China to be your teacher is a unique privilege. You should understand the meaning behind it."

Xu Hongrui looked proudly at his son-in-law and said, word by word, "Xiao Yi, keep your original aspiration of serving the people wholeheartedly, improve the concept of national prosperity and peace, adhere to the correct path, and go ahead to do what you want to do. Don't pay attention to any noise. True gold is not afraid of being tested by fire, and where there's a will, there's a way!"

"Thanks dad!"

Lin Yi was filled with emotion.

Because he knew very well that the Xu family elders, Xu Hongrui, and his uncles must have done a great deal of work to gain his recognition and support from above.

After all, the world is never short of talent.

Moreover, according to the culture that has been passed down in our country for thousands of years, "the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind."

After the Spring Festival, Lin Yi returned to Nanxia, ​​ending his temporary assignment and resuming his post as Deputy Secretary of the Nanxia Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Shen Feng, secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, and Yang Ke, deputy secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, both came to see Lin Yi and wanted to host a banquet for him that evening, both to welcome him back and to have a get-together during the Spring Festival.

Lin Yi declined their offer, saying he would wait until some time later.

This made both of them realize one thing: Secretary Lin was going to be promoted!

The facts proved their judgment correct.

The next day, Zheng Yuandong, director of the Second Bureau of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, personally led a team to Nanxia to investigate Lin Yi.

"Secretary Lin, the organization has entrusted me to lead a team to conduct a detailed review of your work over the past three years, and we intend to recommend you as a candidate for vice-ministerial level leadership. Please talk about your work over the past three years." Zheng Yuandong spoke with Lin Yi first.

"Okay, Director Zheng. In February 2013, the organization appointed me as the mayor of Ninghai City. During my tenure as mayor of Ninghai, I focused on the implementation of major projects, investment promotion, and people's livelihood. I built the Ninghai Semiconductor Chip Industrial Park, promoted Ninghai's economic transformation and industrial upgrading, increased the construction of affordable housing, improved the medical insurance reimbursement ratio and minimum guaranteed income for impoverished and special groups, implemented an agricultural product subsidy program, and improved Ninghai's educational environment."

In 2013, Ninghai ranked first in the country in terms of growth rate of 18 major economic indicators, including GDP, industrial added value, fixed asset investment, local government general budget revenue, total retail sales of consumer goods, per capita disposable income of urban residents, and foreign trade. Its GDP ranking rose from 20th to 15th in the country!

In the first half of 2014, Ninghai ranked first in the country in 25 of its various economic indicators, firmly establishing itself as the third strongest economic city in South China and aiming to become one of the top ten GDP cities in the country!

In June 2014, I left Ninghai and was appointed by the organization to serve as the Secretary of the Longzhou Municipal Party Committee. During my tenure in Longzhou, I spearheaded a special campaign against organized crime and gang-related activities, dismantling the Chenjiazai drug trafficking group, eradicating corruption within the city's cadre ranks, investigating and punishing over a thousand city-level officials, purifying Longzhou's political environment, and exploring ways to prevent local clan forces from disrupting the market economy. In the second half of 2014, Longzhou exceeded its annual economic targets, with its economic growth rate soaring from the bottom of the province in the first half to third place!

In February 2015, the organization appointed me as Deputy Secretary of the Nanxia Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and I was seconded to the Provincial Party Committee Joint Investigation Team as Executive Deputy Leader. During my time in Nanxia, ​​I investigated and handled the smuggling case of the Nanxia Group, investigated and punished nearly a thousand municipal-level cadres, and focused on the thematic education campaign and the "three-fold transformation" of cadres, and launched the transparent discipline inspection work. During my secondment to the Southeast Province 2th Five-Year Plan Working Group, I submitted the Southeast Province planning report and the national planning proposal.

Lin Yi gave a concise report on his work over the past three years, speaking in a light tone, but leaving the inspection team, led by Zheng Yuandong, dumbfounded!

For them, such achievements are unbelievable!

In particular, Lin Yi's achievements in Ninghai can only be described as extraordinary!

Generally speaking, work takes one year to plan, two years to promote, and three years to see results. Ninghai's GDP ranked 10th in the country in 2015, which was entirely due to the foundation laid by Lin Yi!

If Lin Yi were to serve as mayor and then secretary of Ninghai for three years, how much stronger would Ninghai become?

they do not know.

But they believe that Ninghai will definitely be stronger than it is now.

After the inspection and discussion, Zheng Yuandong and his entourage shook hands with Lin Yi. Their eyes were full of admiration as they looked at Lin Yi—Lin Yi has won the hearts of the people across the country with his work on people's livelihood, and his economic work is far ahead of the rest of the country. He has become the youngest deputy provincial-level cadre in the country, which is well-deserved!

Subsequently, Zheng Yuandong spoke with Chen Yunfan, the municipal party secretary. Chen Yunfan acknowledged Lin Yi's work ability and did not say anything detrimental to Lin Yi.

Because he knew that doing so wouldn't affect Lin Yi's promotion this time, but would only cause him trouble.

After all, Lin Yi's work achievements speak for themselves, and no one can deny them!

When it was Qiao Huihuang's turn to speak, he gave Lin Yi extremely high praise: "Comrade Lin Yi has a firm political stance, high ideological awareness, and is good at grasping economic and people's livelihood work. He always puts the people first. I believe that Comrade Lin Yi is the most capable cadre among all the comrades I have worked with over the years!"

The inspection team took a special note of Qiao Huihuang's words.

Over the next few days, the inspection team continued to investigate Lin Yi's work in Nanxia, ​​Longzhou, and Ninghai through individual interviews, distributing opinion questionnaires, conducting democratic assessments, reviewing documents, and carrying out special investigations. The results greatly impressed them!

Even in Longzhou, Lin Yi's prestige among the cadres was terrifyingly high!

On the one hand, the local faction and clan power in Longzhou have declined, and other cadres and the masses are full of gratitude towards Lin Yi. Moreover, the benefits of the work that Lin Yi did back then are becoming increasingly apparent.

On the other hand, the current Party Secretary of Longzhou City attaches great importance to this inspection and has held a special meeting to require all cadres in the city to be realistic and not to take the opportunity to maliciously slander Comrade Lin Yi, otherwise they will be held accountable!

As for Ninghai...

The gratitude and respect that the cadres and the masses had for Lin Yi made the inspection team feel as if they were in a dream!

After the inspection concluded, Zheng Yuandong, director of the Second Bureau of Cadre Management, called Wang Hongtao: "Minister, the inspection team has completed a detailed investigation of Comrade Lin Yi's work over the past three years."

"Far East, you know my relationship with Lin Yi, so your report should be objective and factual."

Wang Hongtao offered a reminder before asking, "What were the results of the inspection?"

"Minister, my team and I unanimously agree that this is a near-perfect inspection report, and the best inspection report on a department-level cadre in the country!"

Zheng Yuandong provided the answer, and I was filled with admiration!
