In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

Chen Jingcheng's two "Are you sure?" questions made even Deputy Director Wang feel pressured.

After all, Chen Jingcheng is no longer an ordinary staff member, but is speaking as the deputy director of the county government office at the deputy section chief level, and a trusted confidant of County Chief Li.

Sometimes, authority comes from one's position.

Power, too, comes from one's position.

Those who don't know Chen Jingcheng may not understand the weight of his words, but those who do know him are certainly well aware of it.

Looking at Chen Jingcheng's calm demeanor, Deputy Director Wang already knew in his heart that, most likely, what Chen Jingcheng said was true.

Moreover, Linchuan County has never heard of anyone so openly impersonating an inspection team member; if this were discovered, it would be a serious crime.

However, things had already come to this point, and Deputy Director Wang had no choice but to confirm Chen Jingcheng's identity.

Looking at Chen Jingcheng, Deputy Director Wang's tone began to soften.

"Director Chen, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to make things difficult for you. The county held a meeting to conduct a major inspection of all public officials drinking alcohol during workdays. We are all aware of this, and our bureau also held a meeting immediately."

"At the same time, our institute also emphasized that I was aware of this major inspection."

"But, Director Chen, please understand, someone called the police, and I really need to verify your identities."

Chen Jingcheng nodded and said calmly, "I understand, so hurry up."

Deputy Director Wang took a deep breath, looked at Boss Wang with a hint of hostility in his eyes, and said, "Boss Wang, then please use your computer for a moment. I need to find the county government office's phone number to verify this."

Upon hearing this, Boss Wang was also somewhat surprised and uncertain. This Chen Jingcheng didn't seem to be a fake.

Even if it's unbelievable, Chen Jingcheng was too calm, so calm that no one could find any fault with him.

No, we can't let Deputy Director Wang find out here, otherwise what if it's true?

"I'm sorry, Deputy Director Wang, our computer's network cable is broken, so I'm afraid we can't access the internet."

"Otherwise, I think we should take them back to the station for further examination. It won't take more than a few minutes, and we can get a clearer picture of the situation that way."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Wang gritted his teeth, looked at Boss Wang, and said coldly, "Just such a coincidence, and it's already ruined?"

Boss Wang smiled and nodded.

Chen Jingcheng frowned at this moment and said, "Alright, no need to trouble yourself."

"Deputy Director Wang, I understand that you don't trust me."

"Alright, you should be able to trust your bureau chief, right?"

After saying that, Chen Jingcheng didn't waste any more words. He took out his phone and searched for the police chief's phone number.

Chen Jingcheng's phone is currently filled with the phone numbers of almost all the leaders in Linchuan County. It's not that Chen Jingcheng wanted to add them, but it's for work purposes. He can't possibly ask several people for their contact information whenever County Chief Li needs to contact someone or for work purposes.

Moreover, the reason he saved the police chief's phone number was because the police chief had proactively left the number when he greeted him.

After all, the Public Security Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the government.

These days, county police chiefs don't usually concurrently serve as deputy county heads, but it's true that police chiefs are at the deputy division level.

Chen Jingcheng directly dialed the phone number of He Wenhui, the director of the Linchuan County Public Security Bureau.

After the call connected, Chen Jingcheng immediately turned on speakerphone.

"Director He, hello, I am Chen Jingcheng."

The voice of Director He from the Public Security Bureau came through the phone and reached everyone's ears.

"Oh, it's Director Chen. You're so busy, what made you think of calling me?"

"Did the county magistrate want to see me?"

Actually, having said all that, there's no need to prove anything anymore.

At this moment, fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Deputy Director Wang's forehead.

He didn't know who Chen Jingcheng was, nor did he know Chen Jingcheng's phone number, but their bureau chief couldn't possibly be mistaken.

Chen Jingcheng said with a smile, "Director He, it's not that the county magistrate wants to see you, but I have something I'm afraid I'll need to trouble you with."

Upon hearing this, Director He burst out laughing.

"Haha, Director Chen, don't be so polite. Just tell me what's on your mind."

The fact that a county public security bureau chief, who oversees so many people in Linchuan County Public Security Bureau and is also at the deputy division level, would give Chen Jingcheng such face is not only because of Chen Jingcheng himself, nor because of his position as deputy director of the government office, but also because of Li Feitu standing behind him.

Today, the officials in Linchuan County are well aware that Li Feitu's reliance on and trust in Chen Jingcheng is beyond imagination.

To put it bluntly, Chen Jingcheng's reputation represents Li Feitu's reputation.

Chen Jingcheng smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Director He."

"Here's the thing, Director He, we were conducting an inspection at a hot pot restaurant to check on public officials drinking alcohol. The restaurant owner obstructed us, so we called the police."

"After Deputy Director Wang from the police station arrived, we showed our work identification and identified ourselves, but we were still questioned."

"I explained to Deputy Director Wang who I was and offered to call the government office to verify my identity. However, Deputy Director Wang seemed to distrust me and insisted on taking me to the office for verification."

"If it were any other time, I would have gone, but now I represent the image of the inspection team. Most importantly, during this inspection, there are still a few private rooms that I haven't found. I suspect that there are public officials drinking in them, and they are not ordinary public officials, otherwise they wouldn't be obstructed like this."

"I have no choice but to ask Director He for help. Please verify my identity."

"Please, comrades, be lenient. If you still don't trust us, you can wait until I've finished my inspection, and then I'll accompany them to the police station."

At this moment, Deputy Director Wang's face was covered in sweat.

Chen Jingcheng, you're too ruthless!

Of course, what Chen Jingcheng said was true, but can these facts be said?

This doesn't seem like he was deliberately trying to make things difficult for Chen Jingcheng.

At this moment, Deputy Director Wang looked at Chen Jingcheng with a hint of fear in his eyes. So young, yet he had so quietly filed a complaint and left no room for criticism.

That's ruthless, absolutely ruthless.

Sure enough, after Chen Jingcheng finished speaking, Director He's voice on the phone turned somewhat cold.

"Director Chen, I see."

"I'm sorry, Director Chen, I've caused you trouble and affected your work."

"Okay, you give the phone to this deputy director, and I'll speak to him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng smiled and said, "Director He, please don't be angry, and there's no need to feel embarrassed. I understand; it's all for the sake of work."

"I just need you to verify my identity so that the misunderstanding can be cleared up, and then everything will be fine."

"I'll hand the phone to Deputy Director Wang now, you can talk to him."

After saying that, Chen Jingcheng handed the phone to Deputy Director Wang and said with a smile, "Deputy Director Wang, could you please answer this? This is your bureau chief's call."

"I think you should be able to recognize your bureau chief's voice. You don't suspect that I just randomly dialed someone and impersonated him, do you?"

At that moment, Deputy Director Wang quickly took the phone, looking at Chen Jingcheng with a bitter expression, afraid that Chen Jingcheng would say something he shouldn't.

Is this some kind of attempt to kill him?
