Seeing that Wang Yunjiang was calling Lin Yi, Yu Zhaoxiâs expression did not look too good. He muttered softly,
âI really admire him. Why does he have to call Lin Yi for everything! Whoâs the real boss of this county?â
âThereâs no need to get angry over such a small matter.â Yu Min said,
âIâve already come here personally. Iâll definitely be able to settle this matter. Donât worry, I also want to see that person called Lin Yi and see whatâs so special about him.â
âMom, Iâm relieved to hear that.â Zhou Feng said.
âIâll leave this to you.â
âDonât worry, everything is under my control. Nothing will go wrong.â
Wang Yunjiang hung up. A few minutes later, Lin Yi walked in.
He originally thought that Wang Yunjiang was the only one here. He did not expect there to be three other people inside.
After entering the room, Lin Yi took a few more glances at Yu Min, then ignored her.
âLeader, whatâs the matter?â
âWeâre discussing poverty alleviation,â Wang Yunjiang said.
âIâd like your opinion.â
âUmâ¦â
Lin Yi paused for a moment. âOther than the villages below, there are still some problems, but theyâre all progressing in an orderly manner. Things wonât take effect so quickly. We have to take it slow.â
âIâm not talking about that.â Wang Yunjiang smiled and said,
âNow that the economic and healthcare problems have almost been resolved, education is the only remaining issue, so 1 want to hear your opinion.â
âI havenât thought about how to deal with this problem.â
âSecretary Wang, since thatâs the case, let Lin Yi be in charge of other matters. Let us handle education. Otherwise, heâll be too distracted. Itâs better for him to focus,â Yu Chaoxi said.
âYou guys are responsible for this?â Lin Yi looked at Yu Zhaoxi and said.
âI donât care who does it, as long as it doesnât get screwed up.â
âWhat are you talking about? Do you think our abilities are inferior to yours?â Yu Zhaoxi said with a cold expression.
âYou are something. If you were that good, why are things still like this after so many years in Dongsan County?â
âYou!â
âStop arguing. Now is not the time to argue about this,â Wang Yunjiang said.
âOh?â Yu Min smiled and looked at Lin Yi.
âDirector Lin, let me introduce myself. I was once a counselor at Yuhang Normal University. After learning of the situation in Dongsan County, I was prepared to come over and help. If you are worried 1 will mess up, 1 think youâre over thinking.â
âA retired counselor dares to make such a guarantee?â
âAlthough Iâve retired, I still have connections,â Yu Min said.
âMoreover, you should know the standard of Yuhang Normal University. Itâs at the top of the rankings.â
âI know that, but 1 donât think theyâre as good as Zhonghaiâs teachers.â
âThe two schools each have their own characteristics. You canât compare them.â
âAre you feeling guilty, or are you just trying to flatter Yuhang Normal University? Thereâs quite a gap in both teaching staff and annual national funding between the two, isnât there?â
Yu Minâs expression did not look too good.
âEven if thereâs a gap, itâs not reflected in the graduates. Moreover, I really want to know what Director Lin means by this.â
âIf you want to know what it means, Iâll tell you.â Lin Yi straightened his expression.
âIâm the vice-principal of Zhonghai Normal University. No matter how I look at it, Iâm a much better candidate than you, a retired counselor.â
The moment he said that, everyone in the office was stunned. It took them a while to react before they returned to normal.
âLin Yi, what did you just say? You said that youâre the vice-principal of Zhonghai Normal University?â Wang Yunjiang asked in disbelief.
âThis part-time role is another one of my identities. If you donât believe me, you can check the official website of Zhonghai Normal University. My photo is on it.â
The four of them took out their phones and opened the official website of Zhonghai Normal University. As expected, they found Lin Yi in the leadership section!
The four of them were dumbfounded. They had never thought that Lin Yi had such an identity!
âI donât know where you get your confidence from. Itâs quite puzzling to think that a retired counselor can settle this matter.â Lin Yi said.
âCould you be even more impressive than me? Thatâs not the case, right?â
Yu Minâs expression was extremely awkward. Her face alternated between red and white. This was too embarrassing.
âLittle Lin, youâve really impressed me. You actually have such an identity.â
Wang Yunjiang looked at Lin Yi like he was looking at a flower.
He was constantly giving him surprises.
âItâs just a vice-principal. Itâs not a big deal. 1 didnât even take it to heart.â Lin Yi said.
âBut on their side, a retired counselor was here pointing fingers. Who gave them the courage?â
Yu Min and the other two had ugly expressions. They were extremely embarrassed, but they were powerless to refute.
With his status, there was really no way they could compete with him.
âOld Yu, Little Zhou, if thereâs nothing else, you can go back first. 1 still have something else to discuss with Little Lin,â Wang Yunjiang said officially.
âThen weâll get going first.â
The three of them had long wanted to leave. Now that they had an opportunity, they did not want to stay on for another minute.
After the three of them left, only Lin Yi and Wang Yunjiang were left in the office.
âLin Yi, Lin Yi, I donât know what to say about you. You actually hid such an impressive identity.â Wang Yunjiang sighed.
âIn terms of administrative rank, your status as the vice-principal is much higher than that of a mere deputy director.â
âI only hold a part-time position there. 1 didnât take it seriously, but my words still carry some weight, so you donât have to worry about education. Iâll try my best to settle this matter for you.â
Wang Yunjiang was touched and looked at Lin Yi with admiration.
âRegarding your transfer to the city, Iâll definitely help you from behind the scenes. Furthermore, in Dongsan County, Iâm the big boss, and youâre the second in command. If anyone dares to make trouble with you, theyâll have to deal with me, Wang Yunjiang.â
âBoss, youâre making me feel awkward by saying that. 1 came here to work; I didnât expect any favors from you.â
âI understand your thoughts, but youâve done so many good deeds for Dongsan County. As the leader, 1 have to express my gratitude. I canât let you subordinates feel disappointed in the rewards.â
âThank you, Boss,â Lin Yi said with a smile.
Wang Yunjiang chuckled and nodded.
âI wonât get involved in the educational matters, but do you have any other plans? Tell me.â
âWhat needs to be addressed now is the issue of rural land and harvests. I plan to make a trip to the Northeast soon to learn from their experiences. As for the matter of education, Iâm thinking of postponing it for a while. It wonât hurt to wait until the countyâs economy is up and running..â
