After listening to Ling You's words, Li Yumin introduced him: "Ah, Secretary Ling, this is Comrade Bao Weidong, the executive deputy head of our county government."

Ling You put away the smile on his face and didn't even look at Li Yumin. He still looked directly at Bao Weidong and said, "I'm asking him, is County Magistrate Li his spokesperson?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present with eyes and ears could hear the smell of gunpowder, and everyone immediately held their breath and looked at the three people.

Bao Weidong was also startled. He didn't expect that this new little secretary would dare to give him a killing blow in public.

The scene reached a deadlock. After a few seconds, Bao Weidong laughed twice: "Secretary Ling is joking, how dare I let County Magistrate Li be my spokesperson." With that, Bao Weidong moved his hands.

He put out the cigarette butt that had burned to the filter in the ashtray, then stood up and stretched out his hand and said: "I am Bao Weidong, executive director of the county government. When you arrived yesterday, I happened to go to the countryside.

I'm really rude for not being able to catch up with your inauguration ceremony. Don't take it personally." Having said that, Bao Weidong's eyes were full of disdain, and his words were hidden in front of everyone.

He gave Ling You a counterattack. These words were obviously a slap in the face to Ling You. It meant that Secretary Ling targeted me like this today because I was too busy with work yesterday to attend your inauguration ceremony.

Why don't you wear small shoes for me? Then I will apologize to you. You have a lot of them, why don't you?

Ling You naturally heard what the other party meant, but at this time, if he accepted Bao Weidong's so-called apology, he would be convinced that he is a small-minded, narrow-minded, retributive, naive and ignorant person.

image.

After understanding this, Ling You thought to himself, it would be better to do things to the end. Don’t you like to label me and treat me as a leader who must retaliate? Then let me follow your wishes instead of letting everyone know that I am Ling You.

It's better to retaliate than to let everyone think that I am a soft persimmon, no matter who offends me, as long as I apologize lightly, it will be fine.

So Ling You simply sat in the chair without even moving. He glanced at Bao Weidong and said: "What did County Magistrate Bao say? The common people's affairs are bigger than the sky. You care about the common people so much that you are running around in the countryside."

, it’s not too late for me to be happy, this proves that our cadres in Ling’an County are down-to-earth and work hard.”

As he spoke, Ling You pressed his hand again: "Sit down, sit down."

Bao Weidong never expected that Ling You didn't even stand up. His outstretched hand was hanging in the air like a joke, so Bao Weidong squinted and gritted his teeth.

Looking at Ling You, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his thumb on his index finger, then took it back and placed it behind his back. His fist clenched loudly before he sat back angrily.

But through this confrontation, everyone saw that the new secretary was obviously better, and he slapped Bao Weidong hard and loud in front of everyone.

When Su Hongxing saw this scene, she was suppressing a smile in her heart. Not to mention how happy she was, she didn't listen to Bao Weidong's words to close the window and sat back in her seat.

The meeting lasted for more than half an hour. Ling You listened to some reports from various departments and committees in the county and the heads of the townships on the current work of the unit, and then wrote them all down in his notebook.

During a break when the meeting came to an end, Kou Zhankui, secretary of the County Political and Legal Committee, wrapped up his clothes and said, "Um, Secretary Ling, please have someone close the windows. It's a little cold."

Hearing this, Ling You looked at Kou Zhankui. When Kou Zhankui just reported on his work, Ling You saw that Kou Zhankui had just taken a look at Bao Weidong. Moreover, Kou Zhankui and Bao Weidong did not appear at his inauguration ceremony yesterday.

From this, he concluded that Kou Zhankui and Bao Weidong must be from the same school.

Logically speaking, the Political and Legal Committee is a department directly under the county committee, but now the department leaders of the county committee have ambiguous relations with the county government, which makes Ling You look down on Kou Zhankui even more.

Ling You didn't directly pay attention to Kou Zhankui's words, but looked around at everyone: "Is there any comrade who wants to smoke? Hurry up now and close the window together after you finish smoking."

The temperature in this room is extremely low now, and many people are shivering from the cold. Compared with smoking, they now prefer to close the window, but Lingyou opened the window, and Lingyou didn't open it again.

, no one dared to close the window. When Kou Zhankui proposed it, everyone agreed with Kou Zhankui's idea of ​​closing the window. When Ling You asked again, who dared to mention smoking again, and then they all said they would stop smoking.

, close the window.

Ling You then glanced at Su Hongxing. After Su Hongxing understood, he stood up, turned around, smiled, and then closed all the windows.

The meeting lasted until nearly 12 o'clock at noon. Ling You announced the adjournment of the meeting and left the leaders of each bureau and township to eat in the county party committee cafeteria before leaving.

When everyone walked to the canteen, everyone asked Ling You and Li Yumin to get the food first. After Ling You finished the food, he put the dinner plate on the table, then pretended to answer a phone call and walked to the canteen.

At the door, he held his cell phone in his hand, but there was no sound in the receiver, but Ling You's eyes were fixed on everyone in the cafeteria.

After Bao Weidong finished serving the dishes, he took the plate and sat on a new table. Then he saw Yan Xiaoquan, director of the County Planning Bureau, Kou Zhankui, secretary of the County Political and Legal Committee, and Luo Feng, deputy county magistrate and director of the County Public Security Bureau.

Meng Zhijie, director of the County Education Bureau, Du Ruhai, director of the County Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Guo Jianqiang, director of the County Urban Management Bureau, Zhang Guobin, secretary of Mahe Township, Luo Bin, secretary of Huangqi Town, and even Liao Yafen, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, all sat at Bao Weidong's table.

Looking back at Li Yumin's place, those sitting there were the heads of the Forestry Bureau, Health Bureau, Taxation Bureau, and several towns.

But seeing the table where Lingyou placed the dinner plate, it seemed pitiful. Only Su Hongxing, director of the county party committee office, Zhang Chen, full-time deputy secretary, Wang Jiru, director of propaganda, Zhou Chunlei, director of organization, and other standing committee members of the county party committee's direct-administered departments were sitting there.

.

After Ling You saw this "side", he understood why Bao Weidong's power in Ling'an County surpassed that of Li Yumin. With these powerful units in his hands, I am afraid that no matter who he is, he would be afraid of Bao Weidong.

Right, and it can also be seen from this that if Ling You is slightly careless, the result will be the same as Li Yumin, being ignored by the entire Ling'an County. But the difference is that Li Yumin was ignored because he was willing to hide. If it happens,

No matter what the problem, Bao and Li must still stand together.

The reason why Ling You held this meeting today and invited everyone to come to the cafeteria to eat was because he wanted to see this. After seeing it clearly, Ling You put the phone back in his pocket and walked back, sitting at the table.

"Everyone, please don't be cautious. We are all full. If you don't have enough, please don't go back to work hungry." Ling You smiled and looked at everyone and said with a smile.
