Family connections: From special recruitment by the county committee to the pinnacle of power

"Hehehe..."

Hearing Lin Weidong's roar, Lin Mingyuan was not afraid at all. Instead, he walked over to Lin Weidong with a smile and sat down next to him.

"Dad... I... the project I'm researching is almost... almost done."

As he spoke, Lin Mingyuan casually opened his briefcase, took out a completed report, and handed it to Lin Weidong, saying, "Don't believe me... don't believe me? Look at this..."

"Oh dear... In two days, General Manager Du from Tiancheng Holdings will be coming to the county... to inspect the area. As long as this project is implemented, the position of deputy section chief... will still be mine."

After saying that, Lin Mingyuan handed the report directly to Lin Weidong.

"Get out of the way!"

Lin Weidong shoved Lin Mingyuan, fanned away the smell of alcohol around him, took the report Lin Mingyuan handed him, and read it carefully.

After reading it, Lin Weidong's expression turned noticeably grim.

It wasn't that the report was poorly written; on the contrary, it was so well-written that it didn't seem like Lin Mingyuan's handwriting at all. That's why he shook Lin Mingyuan, who was already fast asleep, awake again.

"Who wrote this report for you?"

Lin Weidong frowned and asked with a serious expression.

Before Lin Mingyuan could even speak, he felt his stomach churning, covered his mouth, and rushed into the bathroom.

On the other side of the sofa, Qian Shujie, who was reading a book, sighed helplessly.

Before, Lin Weidong was drunk every day, but now that the father has stopped drinking, the son runs to the bathroom every day and roars angrily at the toilet.

Quite some time later, Lin Mingyuan, after washing his face, finally staggered out of the bathroom.

"I'm asking you a question!"

Lin Weidong looked up at Lin Mingyuan and questioned him in a cold voice.

Lin Mingyuan looked completely bewildered and asked Lin Weidong, "Dad, what...what did you say?"

"I'm asking you, who wrote this report for you!"

Lin Weidong asked with a furrowed brow.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mingyuan chuckled dismissively, "It was Secretary Luo who had someone ghostwrite it. How is it? Not bad, right?"

As they were talking, Lin Mingyuan took a towel, wiped his face, and sat down next to Lin Weidong.

"What did you say? Secretary Luo had someone ghostwrite for you? Which Secretary Luo?"

Lin Weidong's expression instantly turned serious.

Lin Mingyuan chuckled and said, "Which Secretary Luo could it be? Robin, the Party Secretary of the Central Town."

Upon hearing the name Robin, Lin Weidong felt a wave of dizziness and nearly fainted from anger.

It's true that Robin is the Party Secretary of the Central Town, but he was promoted by Lin Hanlong. Now, Lin Hanlong is still detained by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, making Robin's position extremely awkward.

Moreover, if something happens to Lin Hanlong, can Robin escape?

At this point, who wouldn't avoid him?

Lin Mingyuan, however, was getting very close to Robin, even having Robin find someone to write his research reports for him, while he himself got drunk every day. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Seeing Lin Weidong's unusually grim expression, Lin Mingyuan frowned and asked.

Lin Weidong squinted at Lin Mingyuan and said, "Don't you know who promoted Robin?"

"At this time, it's best to stay away. If something happens to Lin Hanlong, something will definitely happen to Robin too!"

"you……"

At this point, Lin Weidong suddenly stopped talking and abruptly changed the subject, saying, "These past few days, you've been frequently drunk. Where did the data for this research report come from?"

"Have you checked everything carefully?"

Lin Mingyuan smiled nonchalantly, "Dad, don't worry. I've been in the research lab for so long, I don't need you to teach me how to do the work."

"Even our section chief often says to my colleagues that I have strong work ability and outstanding achievements in all aspects, especially my work methods, which are worth learning from."

"At the work meeting the day before yesterday, our section chief specifically asked me to speak for five minutes to share my experience with the whole section. Also, I showed the draft of this report to our section chief."

"Even our section chief said that my report was excellent, summarizing all aspects of the problem very well, and that I have made great progress."

Lin Weidong flipped through the report in his hand, his brows furrowed, and said, "Did he really say that?"

Lin Mingyuan nodded and said, "Dad, why would I lie to you?"

"Ever since Xu Hansheng came to our house last time, his attitude towards me has completely changed. Every few days, he praises my outstanding work in front of the whole department."

"If I'm not mistaken, there's a high chance he's planning to make me the deputy section chief once this project is finalized, right?"

"Otherwise, would he really need to do this?"

Lin Weidong carefully examined Lin Mingyuan, feeling somewhat uneasy. However, according to Lin Mingyuan, Xu Hansheng might actually have let go of his prejudices.

Furthermore, the fact that Lin Mingyuan is being shown up so frequently in front of the entire department is, frankly speaking, a preparation for his promotion.

Could it be that I'm just overthinking things?

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Weidong finally nodded and said, "Even if what you said is true, you should still be careful not to get too close to Robin."

"There's still no follow-up on Lin Hanlong's matter. We don't want to get implicated by him later."

Lin Mingyuan chuckled and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. It's just that this project will definitely be located in the central town, so I have no choice but to get closer to him."

"Once this project is finalized, he'll need a reason to get my attention."

"Furthermore, Robin and I only talked about work-related matters. We didn't discuss anything else. I understand that Lin Hanlong is probably not coming back this time, but without Robin's help, this report couldn't have been completed so quickly."

Indeed, without Robin's help, the heads of various sectors in Central Town wouldn't have helped Lin Mingyuan organize the data.

His report is already out, while Zhao Dongxu and Wang Yu are still painstakingly conducting their research step by step.

This is a difference in working methods.

Even Xu Hansheng said that he was good at handling things, knew how to find solutions, and was highly efficient.

As for Robin, Lin Mingyuan only treated him as a tool.

Hearing this, Lin Weidong finally felt a little relieved and said to Lin Mingyuan, "Well, you know it yourself. You'd better polish this report yourself."

"This is quite different from your usual style and word choice. If there are any loopholes, it could be easy for someone to use them against you."

After saying that, Lin Weidong handed the report to Lin Mingyuan.

After receiving the report, Lin Mingyuan simply said perfunctorily, "Don't worry, Dad, I'll copy it again tomorrow morning and then hand it to my section chief."

"I really didn't expect this research trip to go so smoothly. Maybe Secretary Qi is so pleased that..."

Lin Mingyuan, increasingly pleased with his newfound success, grabbed his report and briefcase and hurried back to his room, lost in his daydreams of promotion.
