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

The next morning at nine o'clock, the Jiangnan Provincial Committee convened an enlarged meeting of its Standing Committee.

In addition to members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, principal leaders of provincial departments and principal leaders of municipal and prefectural party and government organs attended the meeting.

At the meeting, Lin Yi, as deputy secretary, led the participants in studying the spirit of some recent important speeches and documents, and conveyed the spirit of the symposium of major leaders in the Yangtze River Delta region.

"Next, Comrade Liu Zhong will summarize the province's economic work in the first quarter of this year and make arrangements for the economic work in the second quarter."

After Lin Yi finished organizing the participants to study and convey the information, Du Haibin looked at Governor Liu Zhong, as this was the second item on the agenda.

Later, Du Haibin will deliver an important speech, outlining requirements for various tasks, including economic work.

"Okay, Secretary Du."

Liu Zhong nodded slightly to Du Haibin and then said, “Just now, Comrade Lin Yi conveyed the spirit of the symposium of major leaders in the Yangtze River Delta region. Here, I’ll share some data: Jiangnan Province’s GDP growth rate in the first quarter of this year was 12%, while our province’s was 7.3%. Jiangning City and Suzhou City in Jiangnan Province both had GDP growth rates exceeding 10%, while Linzhou and Yunhai were below 7%. Comrades, the gap between our economic growth rate and that of Jiangnan Province is significant! Our Linzhou City has received substantial policy support from the national and provincial levels, and ranks first in the province in terms of the number of major projects, special funds, and matching funds. However, its economic growth rate is seriously lagging behind Jiangning and Suzhou City, and it has not played a leading role. This is something we should seriously consider!”

what's the situation?

As Liu Zhong finished speaking, Du Haibin, other members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, and even the main leaders of various provincial departments and cities attending the meeting all turned their surprised gazes toward Liu Zhong.

Because Liu Zhong criticized Linzhou's poor economic development at the meeting, which was tantamount to putting Lin Yi in a bad light!

Lin Yi didn't speak, he just looked at Liu Zhong.

Liu Zhong also turned his gaze to Lin Yi: "Linzhou's economic work in the first quarter was not done well. I believe the main responsibility lies with Jia Xin, the former mayor of Linzhou. The organization fully trusted him and let him temporarily preside over the work of the municipal party committee and government, but he was not worthy of his position, corrupted the atmosphere of the Linzhou cadre team, and failed to do a good job in various tasks."

Now, the new leadership team of Linzhou City has been formed. Comrade Lin Yi is an expert in economic development. I believe that under the leadership of the Linzhou Municipal Party Committee headed by Comrade Lin Yi, Linzhou City will certainly achieve great things in economic work in the second quarter and the second half of the year, and will play a leading role in the economic development of our province!

Liu Zhong's sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, including Lin Yi.

On the one hand, when Liu Zhong gets ruthless, he even whips his former ally Jia Xin's corpse.

On the other hand, given the relationship and stance between Lin Yi and Liu Zhong, Liu Zhong had absolutely no reason to sing praises to Lin Yi at the Standing Committee meeting!

Is this a case of praising someone to death?

For a time, Du Haibin and others felt that Liu Zhong was trying to flatter Lin Yi to his detriment.

Lin Yi was also perfectly clear-headed.

Liu Zhong praised Lin Yi so highly at today's meeting to lay the groundwork—if Linzhou's economic work in the second quarter and the second half of the year is not up to par, then it's Lin Yi's fault!

Despite understanding all of this, Lin Yi remained silent, simply watching Liu Zhong perform.

Qin Siyan quietly gripped the pen, her gaze resolute.

Whether for her own sake or for Lin Yi's, she must work tirelessly to improve the economic situation in Linzhou City!

There are no secrets in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

Not long after the meeting ended, news spread throughout the official circles of Jianghai and Linzhou that Governor Liu Zhong had flattered Lin Yi to the point of ruin.

That afternoon.

The General Office of the Linzhou Municipal Party Committee issued a "Notice on Convening an Enlarged Meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee".

Secretary Lin is about to launch a major offensive!

After the meeting notice was issued, all cadres in Linzhou City became aware of this.

How could Lin Yi, who once created the Ninghai model and the Ninghai miracle, possibly allow Linzhou's economic development to lag behind?

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning.

After all the new members of the Linzhou Municipal Party Committee took office, the first enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee was held on time.

"Comrades, the main purpose of today's expanded meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee is to study and convey the spirit of the leaders' speeches, the spirit of the symposium of major leaders in the Yangtze River Delta region, and the spirit of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, and to optimize the work arrangements for the whole year."

At the start of the meeting, Lin Yi sat in the head seat and spoke calmly, but he exuded an air of authority that made everyone feel the pressure.

At the same time, everyone is well aware that the focus of today's meeting is to optimize the work plan for the whole year.

The so-called optimization is just a nice-sounding term.

Each leader has their own approach and style.

Lin Yi hadn't made any moves yet because Qin Siyan and Kong Zhao hadn't taken office, and the personnel adjustments weren't complete.

Now that everything is ready, the provincial party committee has put pressure on Lin Yi, and he will definitely follow his own ideas and make sweeping changes to the work for the whole year and redeploy the work!

As everyone predicted, after Wang Haitao, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, organized the study of the leaders' speeches, and Qin Siyan conveyed the spirit of the symposium of major leaders in the Yangtze River Delta region and the spirit of the provincial party committee standing committee meeting, Lin Yi did not, as is the case in a typical standing committee meeting, have the participating standing committee members report on their respective areas of responsibility one by one, nor did he listen to reports from various municipal departments and districts and counties, but directly deployed the work.

"Comrades, in the first quarter of this year, our city's economic growth rate lagged far behind other key cities in the Yangtze River Delta region, and we were criticized by the provincial leaders for not playing a leading role in economic development."

In order to implement the provincial Party committee's work instructions, complete the city's economic tasks for the first half of the year and the whole year, ensure the high-quality development of the city's economy, build the city into a globally influential science and technology innovation hub, a national central city, a world-renowned historical and cultural city, a model smart city, and a benchmark city for people's well-being, and promote the construction of an advanced manufacturing base and an international comprehensive transportation hub, the city's work arrangements for the whole year are now optimized.

Lin Yi began to deploy the work without a script, "First, optimize talent introduction policies, deeply implement the strategy of strengthening the city through talent, build a city-wide integrated talent policy system, increase the standards of various talent subsidies, implement professional talent plans and college student employment plans, and provide young talents with full-cycle policy support and service guarantees."

Comrades, time waits for no one. Optimizing the above thirteen key tasks is the foundation for us to complete the year's economic development and people's livelihood protection work. All responsible comrades, municipal departments, and districts and counties, please implement the arrangements made at this meeting! Any unit or individual that fails to implement these tasks will be subject to serious evaluation—if someone is not doing their job, then make room for a cadre who is willing, capable, and able to get things done!

Finally, on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee, I pledge that, with the successful completion of this year's work tasks, all civil servants, employees of public institutions, and employees of municipal state-owned enterprises, including those not on the payroll, will see their year-end performance bonuses increase by no less than 50%, and their salaries next year will increase by no less than 5%! Furthermore, those who demonstrate outstanding performance in various tasks will be given priority for promotion, and may even be promoted exceptionally!

"Clap clap clap..."

As Lin Yi finished speaking, enthusiastic applause rang out in the conference room.

If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass.

Originally, everyone felt a lot of pressure after hearing Lin Yi's thirteen work plans, but after hearing Lin Yi's last words, they became full of energy again.

More than a month after taking office.

Lin Yi went all out, starting to create the Linzhou miracle, building the fifth city in China, leading a new round of global technological revolution, and making everyone understand: what true high-quality development really is!
