“We chose two people. Both were voted by the villagers. We’ve already submitted the list to the county.”
“Are you sure they were chosen by the villagers?” Li Qingkai asked.
Han Jinwu’s expression changed slightly, but he still smiled and said,
“Of course, we wouldn’t fake something like that.”
“We went to the village to visit just now. They said that they didn’t know about this at all. How are you going to explain this?”
Han Jinwu looked troubled. He did not expect Li Qingkai to be so serious.
“Director Li, you and I both know what’s going on in this matter. There’s no need to be so serious.” Han Jinwu said.
“Moreover, the two spots in our village were given to Yu Zhaoxi’s brother-in-law and his wife. We had no choice.”
“You gave it to them?”
“It’s true. I called him personally. With my status, I don’t have the ability to control this matter at all.”
“Alright, I understand.”
Li Qingkai looked at Lin Yi and said.
“Let’s go back first. Now is not the time to deal with this.”
“Director Li, Director Lin is already here. Stay for a meal before leaving.”
“You’re in the wilderness, what good food can there be?” Lin Yi asked.
Upon hearing this, Han Jinwu’s face lit up.
“Don’t worry, Director Lin. 1 guarantee that you haven’t eaten anything like this in the city. I also have two bottles of Maotai. Let’s drink them later.”
“You even have liquor as good as Maotai?”
“It’s just a few bottles of Maotai. It’s not a big deal. Director Lin, drink as much as you can. We have enough.”
“With your salary level, you can’t afford to drink this, right?” Lin Yi said.
“But 1 don’t want to pursue how it came about. Let’s wait for further instructions on how to deal with it.”
“Well...”
“That man is your brother-in-law. Is that reason enough?” Lin Yi changed his posture and looked at Yu Zhaoxi.
“Is your brain not functioning properly? I haven’t pursued this matter further, which is already giving you face. Yet, you actually came here to question me? What were you thinking? Do 1 need to have people from the Public Security, Procuratorate, and Disciplinary Committee educate you on legal knowledge?” Lin Yi responded sternly.
“You!”
Yu Zhaoxi gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do about Lin Yi. After all, he was in the wrong.
“Lin Yi, let me tell you, although you’ve achieved some results, don’t forget your identity!”
“Thanks for the warning.”
Seeing Yu Chao leave in a huff, Li Qingkai and Li Sijin looked at Lin Yi worriedly.
“Little Lin, it won’t do you any good to go against him. If you want to climb up the ranks, you still need their signatures.”
“If this continues, he’ll get locked up long before I get promoted. This won’t affect me at all.”
“But he’s bound to make things difficult for you, and you won’t be able to stand it either.”
“It’s fine. I’ll deal with whatever comes my way. I really don’t think he is anything special.”
Li Qingkai sighed, not knowing what to say.
With Lin Yi’s personality, if he were to be promoted to a higher position in the city, it would likely not work out well.
Indeed, capable people had bad tempers.
At noon, the three of them went out for a meal before returning to the office at around one in the afternoon.
“Little Lin, Little Li, the name list has been tabulated. The two of you should go back and prepare. We’ll gather and set off tomorrow,” Li Qingkai said.
“Brother Li, I’m ready. I can leave at any time.”
“What about you, Lin Yi?”
“My things are all in Zhonghai. I’ll go back to Zhonghai tomorrow and take a plane to the northeast from there. That’ll be more convenient for me.”
“Alright, I won’t interfere in your plans.”
With that, Li Qingkai looked at Li Sijin.
“Little Li, your Brother Lin is not suitable for these meticulous tasks. I’ll leave this matter to you. We are bringing a lot of people over. You have to be careful with the arrangements of food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation.”
“Got it, Brother Li.”
“Alright, you guys can make your own arrangements for this afternoon. I’m going to catch up on some sleep. I’m so tired.”
Before Li Qingkai could close his eyes and sleep, he heard a shout from outside.
