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

Chen Jingcheng's words made the meeting room even more silent and oppressive.

For those who don't drink or don't want to drink, this is undoubtedly a good thing. At least they have a reason to refuse some meaningless drinking parties, and they can spend more time at home eating, talking with their family and children, and taking walks.

However, Chen Jingcheng's words still made many people feel uncomfortable.

Chen Jingcheng looked at everyone, then at the list in his hand, and said softly, "The county leaders do indeed want to use strong measures to directly suppress this drinking culture."

"But I also know that the county leaders care about and love everyone."

"Sometimes, some things may not be everyone's responsibility, or there may be special circumstances, or people may not be aware of the county leaders' determination."

"It's alright, I just saw the test results. Although both of you tested positive for alcohol, you barely drank any and you're both very sober."

"It's impossible to hide it, and I won't hide it for your sake."

"However, I would suggest to the county leaders that for those found to have violated discipline today, whose offenses were minor and who have a strong desire to change, they should only be publicly notified throughout the county, without being interviewed, held accountable, recorded in their files, or subjected to excessive punishment."

"I don't know if the county leaders will accept my suggestion."

"But even if I accept it, it will only be for today, and only this once."

"From morning to night, two major inspections in one day. Once or twice, but not a third time."

"Starting tomorrow, all those found guilty will be held accountable, not only the individuals themselves, but also the supervisors in charge and the main leaders of the unit."

"So, you really need to think about this carefully."

After Chen Jingcheng finished speaking, the people who had been investigated breathed a sigh of relief.

Others also felt that Chen Jingcheng was not entirely heartless; in fact, they understood the county leaders' good intentions even more.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that many people think Chen Jingcheng is just putting on an act.

But no matter what they thought, it wasn't in Chen Jingcheng's consideration.

On the first day, for minor offenses and those with a strong desire to change, it is indeed acceptable to simply issue a notice of notification without pursuing disciplinary action under Party or government regulations.

However, it was only a minor incident.

At this moment, Director Qian led the applause.

"Comrades, we must not let Director Chen's painstaking efforts go to waste."

"I want to say this to everyone again today: if anyone gets caught drinking and is punished in the future, don't come to me. I can't help you with anything."

"Similarly, if I'm implicated because of you, even if the county treats you leniently, you'll feel uncomfortable if I'm not, and you won't feel comfortable either."

"I can announce a decision right now."

"From now on, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau will fully implement a leadership responsibility system."

"If anyone in your department violates regulations, even if you don't catch them in the act, your department head will be held responsible and dismissed immediately!"

"If something happens in the department under the jurisdiction of your deputy director, then I'll make trouble for that deputy director."

"In short, I have only one sentence: from today onwards, no one is allowed to violate the rules. Everyone must abide by the county's requirements. Anyone who makes a mistake will be dealt with severely!"

After saying this, Director Qian looked at Chen Jingcheng and extended his hand, then smiled and said, "Director Chen, thank you for your hard work tonight, coming all the way here to inspect our place."

"This serves as a wake-up call for us and teaches all of us a lesson."

"Director Chen, thank you so much! Please rest assured, I will strictly enforce the requirements of the Housing and Construction Bureau, and this kind of problem will never happen again."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng smiled and shook hands with Director Qian. After thinking for a moment, he pointed to some reports in his hand and said, "Director Qian, everything else is negotiable."

"However, I would like to ask a few more questions about these reports."

"There's no other way. In fact, the leaders have discussed how to verify the authenticity of leave applications."

"After all, if someone can just throw in a fake sick note and go out drinking, and then not show up when they're caught in a nighttime check, then over time, more and more people will follow suit."

"That's not good."

"So, Director Qian, I didn't mean to cause trouble. Please understand."

Director Qian smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand, I understand, that is indeed a problem."

"However, Director Chen, rest assured, no one in our unit would do such a thing."

"I can show you the documents for those who went out on official business; they're all genuine."

"I haven't approved all of these leave slips, but I think the people in our unit are conscientious enough not to write a leave slip and leave it here just to have a drink."

Is it impossible?

If Chen Jingcheng hadn't personally witnessed Deputy Director Lin and two others getting drunk at the hot pot restaurant, even with women on either side of them, he would have believed what Director Qian said.

Perhaps Deputy Director Lin is just an isolated case, but now that it has been discovered, Chen Jingcheng must address the problem at its root.

This will serve as a warning to anyone who might try to use this method to evade inspection in the future.

Under everyone's gaze, Chen Jingcheng looked at Deputy Director Wang of the police station.

"Director Qian, do you know why I have police officers around me?"

"Our inspection team this time was not drawn from various units; it consisted of personnel from the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Party Committee's Supervision Department, and our government's Supervision Department."

"However, Deputy Director Wang is with me. I think you must find that very strange."

Not only Director Qian found it strange, but everyone else in the room also found it strange.

However, the presence of police officers did indeed make this inspection team more formidable.

"Director Chen, yes, it is a bit strange, but there's nothing wrong with your inspection team arranging for the police to help."

Chen Jingcheng shook his head, smiled, and said, "The reason why Deputy Director Wang came with me is because when we were inspecting a hot pot restaurant, the owner forcibly obstructed our inspection and called the police, suspecting our identities."

"Of course, his identity has definitely been verified, but the hot pot restaurant owner's behavior makes me feel that something is not right."

"So when we went into the private room to check, we did find that some public officials were drinking."

"The hot pot restaurant owner's main purpose was to stir up trouble and help the people in the private room get out."

At this point, Chen Jingcheng pulled out a name from the list of sick leave slips and smiled, "According to our understanding, one of them is him!"

When Director Qian saw Chen Jingcheng pull a name out of the leave slips, his expression instantly turned rather unpleasant.

However, Chen Jingcheng then pulled out another name from the leave slips.

"And him too."

Director Qian took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Damn it, these two dared to write fake sick notes and then go drinking. This behavior is clearly fraud and trying to deceive the inspection team. Director Chen, rest assured, I will deal with this seriously!"

Chen Jingcheng sighed, then pulled out another name from the list.

"And him, if I'm not mistaken, he should be your Deputy Director Lin, a deputy director at the section chief level!"
