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

In fact, it wasn't that Lin Weidong didn't want to reply to Lin Mingyuan's message, but rather that he simply couldn't reply at the moment.

At this moment, in the small conference room on the second floor of the county committee building, apart from County Mayor Lin Hanlong, all the members of the Standing Committee of the County Committee were sitting in the meeting room with serious expressions.

Qi Hongchang's face was even more frighteningly gloomy.

As soon as Tan Zhifei returned to the county committee, he immediately gave Qi Hongchang a detailed report on the entire inspection process.

Moreover, he also relayed Liu Zhiqiang's words to Qi Hongchang verbatim.

When Qi Hongchang finished listening to Tan Zhifei's report, his feelings were indescribable.

It's like you're having a great time, and then someone suddenly throws a bucket of cold water over your head, chilling you to the bone!

Prior to this, Qi Hongchang had actually planned to give Lin Weidong and Lin Mingyuan a break, since a stable environment was needed for the county's new projects to be implemented.

As long as Lin Mingyuan doesn't repeat similar mistakes, Qi Hongchang won't go so far as to eliminate him completely.

But after hearing Tan Zhifei's report, Qi Hongchang's anger could no longer be suppressed.

For the Tiancheng Holdings project, he even went to the provincial capital to ask his former superiors for help.

However, at the most crucial moment, Lin Mingyuan made such a basic mistake during the project research!

Isn't this just trying to make him look bad?

Therefore, Qi Hongchang immediately convened a Standing Committee meeting!

He couldn't swallow this insult!

"Oh my, some of our leaders are truly adept at leading by example!"

Qi Hongchang glared at Lin Weidong with an extremely ugly expression, his thumb constantly pressing and rubbing his index finger until the tip of his finger even turned white.

As he spoke, Qi Hongchang grabbed the report Lin Mingyuan had handed over from the table, threw it in front of Lin Weidong, and said coldly, "This report is really well written!"

"All of us leaders here, please pass this around!"

"Afterwards, everyone shared their opinions, and I was particularly interested in the opinions of some comrades!"

Swish!

As soon as Qi Hongchang finished speaking, almost everyone's eyes fell on Lin Weidong.

At this moment, cold sweat was seeping from Lin Weidong's forehead.

Just as Lin Weidong was feeling uneasy, his phone kept vibrating in his pocket. He quickly took out the battery, afraid that he might make some noise and completely enrage Qi Hongchang.

After everyone in the room read it through, they all frowned. To be honest, there was nothing wrong with the report.

Why is Qi Hongchang so angry?

Only after Fu Changqing finished reading the report and neatly placed it in front of Qi Hongchang did Qi Hongchang speak with a gloomy expression and a cold smile: "Everyone has read it, let's give our opinions."

"Starting with Minister Lin, what do you think of this report? Is it appropriate to negotiate with Tiancheng Holdings based on the content of this report?"

After saying that, Qi Hongchang stared intently at Lin Weidong, whose face was covered in cold sweat.

Lin Weidong swallowed hard, wiped the sweat from his face, and took several deep breaths before saying, "Secretary Qi, this report... I really don't see any problems with it."

"From land use to specific preferential policies, everything is written very clearly and explicitly."

Hehehe...

Upon hearing this, Qi Hongchang couldn't help but let out a chilling laugh.

"Well said, there's really no problem. However, the factory site was marked on a sand-prevention forest that was just planted last year. Minister Lin, do you think we should cut down all the trees planted by the Forestry Bureau?"

"Should we cancel this project?"

"Anyway, I'm in a bit of a dilemma."

Qi Hongchang, still smiling, scanned the faces of everyone present before saying, "Why don't we all brainstorm and discuss how to handle this?"

Holy crap!

Although Qi Hongchang's voice became increasingly gentle, it was not difficult to tell from his words that he was extremely angry at this moment.

After several years of contact with Qi Hongchang, all the standing committee members present were very familiar with his temperament.

If Qi Hongchang slams his fist on the table and curses, it means the problem isn't serious.

But if he speaks softly and asks you what to do, it means he's already losing his temper.

At this time, anyone who dares to offend Qi Hongchang will be in big trouble!

Therefore, the entire conference room was completely silent.

Seeing everyone remain silent, Qi Hongchang chuckled a few times and looked at Lin Weidong, saying, "Minister Lin, you're in charge of publicity, can you give me some advice? How should I, or rather, how should our county explain this to people?"

"It is said that a bad soldier is a bad soldier, but a bad general makes a bad army."

"It's my incompetence as the Party Secretary that I can't even do the most basic field research. It's clearly a woodland, but I just can't see it."

"Sigh, I'm really at my wit's end. Mr. Du is coming to inspect the place next Monday. Should I take him to the woods to cool off, or should I take him to the trees to steal a couple of bird eggs?"

As soon as he said those words, Lin Weidong's heart skipped a beat.

He really couldn't understand how Lin Mingyuan could have made such a big mistake.

Can't you even tell the difference between woodland and wasteland?

If you really can't tell the difference, you can go and see for yourself!

But this matter has already been reported to Qi Hongchang, so how is Lin Weidong supposed to respond?

Moreover, for him right now, not answering is the best answer; if he makes even the slightest mistake, Qi Hongchang will surely fly into a rage!

"Secretary Qi, this matter actually has little to do with Minister Lin, since he's not entirely clear on the county's land use situation..."

Seeing that the atmosphere had become extremely awkward, Fu Changqing had no choice but to try to smooth things over with a forced smile.

Before Fu Changqing could finish speaking, Qi Hongchang suddenly raised an eyebrow and interrupted him coldly, "Director Fu!"

Who is in charge of research at the county party committee research office?

"Did you ask how this report was drafted?"

"Didn't I say that we need to conduct thorough research, analyze their needs, and produce a reasonable report that meets those needs, using that as a blueprint to implement the project?"

"Then why did this research report end up on my desk directly from your hands?"

"Have you verified the data in the report?"

"Especially regarding the data on land classification, have you sent someone to inquire in detail with the county land bureau and the town land office?"

"Do you know how embarrassed our entire county committee was when Tan Zhifei and Liu Zhiqiang got out of the car in front of that woodland?!"

"Who recruited Lin Mingyuan into the county party committee office? By what identity and through what channels did he get in? Who assigned him to the research office?"

"This isn't the first time he's caused trouble. Why weren't you dealt with seriously before? You were appointed director of the county party committee office, not to curry favor and play the peacemaker!"

"Is someone who can only list data without conducting in-depth investigations suitable for a research lab?"
