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

After receiving a call from Wang Hongtao, Lin Yi canceled his research trip to several cities in the southeastern province.

Since the shantytown renovation and real estate reform work in Southeast Province is going to be shelved, there is no point in him going to investigate this work.

At the same time, following the instructions of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Provincial Party Committee, Mayor Qiao Huihuang of Nanxia City adjusted his approach to shantytown renovation and real estate investment and construction, and no longer followed the Ninghai model.

All of this made the astute officials realize that something was wrong: Had Governor Lin's shantytown and real estate reform plan failed?

Yes.

Almost everyone made this judgment.

In their view, this industry is too special and too crucial. Even someone as powerful as Lin Yi cannot touch this industry and must bow down and compromise!

Only Lu Dacong thought differently.

He didn't even call the old man of the Lu family; he just focused all his energy on carrying out the reforms in Ninghai to the end, following Lin Yi's guidance, and striving to achieve perfection.

If you don’t steam the steamed buns, you’ll lose your reputation!

He had to clear his good brother's name!

For the next two weeks, Lin Yi hardly went out to conduct research; apart from attending meetings, he spent most of his time in the office.

On the one hand, with the shantytown renovation and real estate reform efforts stalled, there's little left to do in housing and construction. The main task of industry and information technology is to divide responsibilities across various parts of Southeast Province, completing the industrial chains of key sectors such as automobiles, semiconductor chips, and electronic information, and building complete industrial chains for these sectors in Southeast Province.

The work has already been assigned and is being pushed forward with all efforts; Lin Yi hardly needs to worry about it.

On the other hand, Lin Yi was well aware that since Wang Hongtao had made that call, it meant that his job adjustment was coming soon.

As it turned out, Lin Yi's judgment was correct.

Half a month after Lin Yi's appointment and removal were rejected at the meeting, Wang Hongtao led a team to Southeast Province for research.

The research trip was accompanied by You Changqing, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Cao Guotao, Governor of the Province, and Li Feng, Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.

Lin Yi did not accompany the research team because his job duties were unrelated to the organization's work. However, on the last day of Wang Hongtao's research, he received a call from You Changqing and attended the dinner party that evening.

Apart from Lin Yi, only You Changqing and Cao Guotao attended the dinner that night, making it essentially a private gathering.

Even so, neither Wang Hongtao, nor You Changqing, nor Cao Guotao discussed Lin Yi's matter during the dinner.

After the dinner, Lin Yi took Wang Hongtao to the hotel and, at Wang Hongtao's request, accompanied him in the hotel room for tea and conversation.

"Xiao Yi, have you been feeling really frustrated lately?" Wang Hongtao asked with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

Lin Yi nodded: "It is a bit frustrating, but at the same time, I feel that serving the people is a long and arduous task!"

"Xiao Yi, many things can't be solved completely in one go; they need to be done in several steps," Wang Hongtao said meaningfully.

Lin Yi nodded: "Uncle Wang, I understand the reasoning, but there's one thing I don't understand. My appointment and removal have already been submitted to the meeting, how could it be rejected? This doesn't make sense. Unless you never intended for me to be the Party Secretary of Nanxia City in the first place!"

"clever."

Wang Hongtao looked at Lin Yi with appreciation and said, "The real intention behind proposing you as a member of the Standing Committee of the Southeast Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Nanxia Municipal Party Committee is not what it seems."

"What's the real purpose?"

"Lead the snake out of its hole!"

Now that the Beihe Conference was over, Wang Hongtao stopped hiding the truth and revealed the inside story, saying, "The main reason I came to the Southeast for this research trip was to meet and talk with you. Your mission in the Southeast is complete; prepare for a new journey!"

"Uncle Wang, what's the arrangement?" Lin Yi wasn't surprised, but he was curious about his new appointment.

Wang Hongtao smiled slightly: "The first step is for the head of the 14th Central Inspection Team to inspect the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development!"

"Yes, Uncle Wang!"

Lin Yi's eyes lit up immediately!

at the same time.

Hengyuan Club in Beijing.

Hengyuan Club is a private club built in Beijing by Hengyuan Real Estate Group with a large investment.

In a luxurious private room at the club, a high-end dinner party was coming to an end.

There are two reasons why it is considered high-end.

Firstly, the cost of the ingredients for tonight's dinner alone exceeded six figures.

Yes, just ingredients.

Secondly, the guests invited by Shen Wancai, the head of Hengyuan Real Estate Group, tonight are Wang Yong, the Vice Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and Chen Yunfan, the Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

To create a lively atmosphere at the dinner, Shen Wancai brought not only two trusted senior executives but also Liu Meimei, the head of the Hengyuan Song and Dance Troupe.

"Minister Tian, ​​let me toast you one last time. This toast doesn't represent me personally, nor does it represent Hengyuan Real Estate, but rather everyone in the real estate industry. Thank you for saving this industry!" At the end of the dinner, Shen Wancai toasted Tian Yong again, practically praising him to the skies.

"President Shen, you can't say that. I only did things that were beneficial to the development of the real estate industry. The specific decisions were made by the leaders." Tian Yong sat down, picked up his wine glass, which was only half full. He seemed very modest, but in reality, he was very proud.

He did a lot of work in preventing Lin Yi from promoting the pilot projects for shantytown renovation and real estate reform, and he was a key figure!

Isn't it something to be proud of to make Lin Yi, a rising star in politics, suffer a setback?

Just look at Chen Yunfan's envious expression next to him and you'll know.

Chen Yunfan went to great lengths to fight Lin Yi in Nanxia, ​​but was eventually driven out of the southeastern province and lost his career!

Chen Yunfan was indeed envious, not of Tian Yong's victory in this battle.

Because, in essence, this battle was not a battle between Tian Yong and Lin Yi; Tian Yong was merely the executor.

What he envied was Tian Yong's spirited and high-spirited demeanor.

He was like that once upon a time.

Even before he was transferred to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, when he attended dinners with Tian Yong, everyone revolved around him, unlike now where Tian Yong is the main character and he is the supporting character!

"President Shen, you should toast Dean Yunfan again. Dean Yunfan helped you a lot when he was working in Nanxia." Tian Yong noticed Chen Yunfan's envy. On the surface, he had Shen Wancai toast Chen Yunfan, but secretly he was sending a message to Chen Yunfan: Yunfan, I made Lin Yi suffer, which can be considered as venting your anger!

Originally, Shen Wancai harbored some dissatisfaction with Chen Yunfan.

Back then, after a mass incident occurred during the demolition and renovation of shantytowns in Canghe District, Nanxia, ​​Zhou Xiaotian, the district party secretary, was placed under investigation. In order to quell the situation, Chen Yunfan acted swiftly and decisively, replacing Hengyuan Real Estate Group, causing the group considerable losses.

However, despite his dissatisfaction, although Chen Yunfan is now in a quack department and has completely lost power, Shen Wancai will not offend Chen Yunfan, especially since Tian Yong has spoken up.

He respectfully toasted Chen Yunfan with a glass of wine and expressed his gratitude!

After doing all this, he turned to Tian Yong and asked, "Minister Tian, ​​that's all the wine we have. Shall I accompany you and Dean Yunfan to a brothel to listen to music?"

"Neither Yunfan nor I have this hobby, so let's forget it," Tian Yong refused on the spot.

Chen Yunfan sneered inwardly.

Hengyuan Real Estate's dance troupe is even more professional than the official one, and all of them are beauties. Tian Yong has been there quite a few times.

Moreover, during dinner tonight, the way Tian Yong looked at Liu Meimei was as if he wanted to devour her on the spot!

Tian Yong publicly declined the invitation because he didn't want to bring Chen Yunfan along.

after an hour.

Tian Yong was sent to a villa in the suburbs.

When he entered the villa, Liu Meimei, accompanied by two tall, slender girls from a dance troupe, had been waiting for him for some time, dressed in dance costumes.

"Minister, you've finally arrived! My two sisters and I couldn't wait any longer." Liu Meimei smiled charmingly, and her two sisters immediately stepped forward, one helping Tian Yong with his bag and the other helping him change into slippers, doing it with practiced ease.

Tian Yong smiled and pinched Liu Meimei's tender cheek: "Let's begin your performance."

The villa was specially renovated. There was a small stage in the living room, and facing the stage were high-end sofas and coffee tables, on which were placed fine wines and cigars.

After changing into slippers, Tian Yong sat on the sofa. Elegant classical music filled the living room as Liu Meimei, along with two girls, began their first performance of the night.

Their dance moves were professional and graceful, and their charming expressions captivated Tian Yong.

however--

Just as the dance performance was about to end, Tian Yong's phone rang. He picked it up, intending to reject the call, but after seeing the number on the caller ID, he quickly gestured for Liu Meimei and the other two to stop.

Because the caller was Hu Jun, the Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, who was Tian Yong's superior!

Liu Meimei understood immediately, stopped dancing, and turned off the music.

Tian Yong went to another room and answered the phone: "Hello, Minister."

"Minister Tian Yong, I just heard that the central inspection work has been arranged, and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is on the inspection list. Moreover, the head of the inspection team is Lin Yi!" Minister Hu Jun of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said coldly.

Tian Yong was startled, his voice trembling: "Minister...minister, are you sure?"

"Minister Tian Yong, it's absolutely true! Besides, anyone with eyes can see that Lin Yi is after you. I suggest you go and apologize to Lin Yi right away!"

Hu Jun gave the answer indirectly, and then hung up the phone.

Can an apology solve the problem?

Tian Yong's heart sank into an abyss in an instant!
