Seeing that w.a.n.g Yunjiang was calling Lin Yi, Yu Zhaoxi’s expression did not look too good. He muttered softly,

“I really admire him. Why does he have to call Lin Yi for everything! Who’s the real boss of this county?”

“There’s no need to get angry over such a small matter.” Yu Min said,

“I’ve already come here personally. I’ll definitely be able to settle this matter. Don’t worry, I also want to see that person called Lin Yi and see what’s so special about him.”

“Mom, I’m relieved to hear that.” Zhou Feng said.

“I’ll leave this to you.”

“Don’t worry, everything is under my control. Nothing will go wrong.”

w.a.n.g Yunjiang hung up. A few minutes later, Lin Yi walked in.

He originally thought that w.a.n.g 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.

“Leader, what’s the matter?”

“We’re discussing poverty alleviation,” w.a.n.g Yunjiang said.

“I’d like your opinion.”

“Um…”

Lin Yi paused for a moment. “Other than the villages below, there are still some problems, but they’re all progressing in an orderly manner. Things won’t take effect so quickly. We have to take it slow.”

“I’m not talking about that.” w.a.n.g Yunjiang smiled and said,

“Now that the economic and healthcare problems have almost been resolved, education is the only remaining issue, so 1 want to hear your opinion.”

“I haven’t thought about how to deal with this problem.”

“Secretary w.a.n.g, since that’s the case, let Lin Yi be in charge of other matters. Let us handle education. Otherwise, he’ll be too distracted. It’s better for him to focus,” Yu Chaoxi said.

“You guys are responsible for this?” Lin Yi looked at Yu Zhaoxi and said.

“I don’t care who does it, as long as it doesn’t get screwed up.”

“What are you talking about? Do you think our abilities are inferior to yours?” Yu Zhaoxi said with a cold expression.

“You are something. If you were that good, why are things still like this after so many years in Dongsan County?”

“You!”

“Stop arguing. Now is not the time to argue about this,” w.a.n.g Yunjiang said.

“Oh?” Yu Min smiled and looked at Lin Yi.

“Director 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 you’re over thinking.”

“A retired counselor dares to make such a guarantee?”

“Although I’ve retired, I still have connections,” Yu Min said.

“Moreover, you should know the standard of Yuhang Normal University. It’s at the top of the rankings.”

“I know that, but 1 don’t think they’re as good as Zhonghai’s teachers.”

“The two schools each have their own characteristics. You can’t compare them.”

“Are you feeling guilty, or are you just trying to flatter Yuhang Normal University? There’s quite a gap in both teaching staff and annual national funding between the two, isn’t there?”

Yu Min’s expression did not look too good.

“Even if there’s a gap, it’s not reflected in the graduates. Moreover, I really want to know what Director Lin means by this.”

“If you want to know what it means, I’ll tell you.” Lin Yi straightened his expression.

“I’m the vice-princ.i.p.al of Zhonghai Normal University. No matter how I look at it, I’m a much better candidate than you, a retired counselor.”

The moment he said that, everyone in the office was stunned. It took them a while to react before they returned to normal.

“Lin Yi, what did you just say? You said that you’re the vice-princ.i.p.al of Zhonghai Normal University?” w.a.n.g Yunjiang asked in disbelief.

“This part-time role is another one of my ident.i.ties. If you don’t believe me, you can check the official website of Zhonghai Normal University. My photo is on it.”

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 ident.i.ty!

“I don’t know where you get your confidence from. It’s quite puzzling to think that a retired counselor can settle this matter.” Lin Yi said.

“Could you be even more impressive than me? That’s not the case, right?”

Yu Min’s expression was extremely awkward. Her face alternated between red and white. This was too embarra.s.sing.

“Little Lin, you’ve really impressed me. You actually have such an ident.i.ty.”

w.a.n.g Yunjiang looked at Lin Yi like he was looking at a flower.

He was constantly giving him surprises.

“It’s just a vice-princ.i.p.al. It’s not a big deal. 1 didn’t even take it to heart.” Lin Yi said.

“But on their side, a retired counselor was here pointing fingers. Who gave them the courage?”

Yu Min and the other two had ugly expressions. They were extremely embarra.s.sed, but they were powerless to refute.

With his status, there was really no way they could compete with him.

“Old Yu, Little Zhou, if there’s nothing else, you can go back first. 1 still have something else to discuss with Little Lin,” w.a.n.g Yunjiang said officially.

“Then we’ll get going first.”

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 w.a.n.g Yunjiang were left in the office.

“Lin Yi, Lin Yi, I don’t know what to say about you. You actually hid such an impressive ident.i.ty.” w.a.n.g Yunjiang sighed.

“In terms of administrative rank, your status as the vice-princ.i.p.al is much higher than that of a mere deputy director.”

“I only hold a part-time position there. 1 didn’t take it seriously, but my words still carry some weight, so you don’t have to worry about education. I’ll try my best to settle this matter for you.”

w.a.n.g Yunjiang was touched and looked at Lin Yi with admiration.

“Regarding your transfer to the city, I’ll definitely help you from behind the scenes. Furthermore, in Dongsan County, I’m the big boss, and you’re the second in command. If anyone dares to make trouble with you, they’ll have to deal with me, w.a.n.g Yunjiang.”

“Boss, you’re making me feel awkward by saying that. 1 came here to work; I didn’t expect any favors from you.”

“I understand your thoughts, but you’ve done so many good deeds for Dongsan County. As the leader, 1 have to express my grat.i.tude. I can’t let you subordinates feel disappointed in the rewards.”

“Thank you, Boss,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

w.a.n.g Yunjiang chuckled and nodded.

“I won’t get involved in the educational matters, but do you have any other plans? Tell me.”

“What 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, I’m thinking of postponing it for a while. It won’t hurt to wait until the county’s economy is up and running..”
