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

A slight smile appeared on Chen Jingcheng's lips as he chuckled and said, "Thank you for the praise, Secretary Wang. Jingcheng is still young and will definitely work hard."

"Secretary Wang, is there something you need on your call?"

Deputy Secretary Wang's voice was very calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"It's nothing, we just know you've been working hard, and as the county committee, we always want to show our appreciation to our comrades."

"We want our comrades, especially Jing Cheng, to know that your contributions and hard work are remembered by me and the county committee."

To put it bluntly, the county committee and I remember your contributions and hard work.

These are words that most people wouldn't say, can't say, and wouldn't dare to say.

But Deputy Secretary Wang can say that, and he has the right to say it.

He is the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and he can represent the county party committee just like Secretary Zhao.

Chen Jingcheng knew that this was Deputy Secretary Wang reminding him of who he was.

Chen Jingcheng naturally knew how to deal with it.

No matter how much County Chief Li and Secretary Zhao don't get along, at least until there's a result and everyone is in their positions, Deputy Secretary Wang is the Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee, and no one can deny that.

"Thank you, Secretary Wang. As long as I can complete the task well, I don't feel that it's hard at all."

"If our comrades knew how much Secretary Wang and the county party committee care about our work and how hard we work, they would be very moved and work even harder."

"Tomorrow morning, I will definitely convey Secretary Wang's concern to all my comrades, so that they can all know that Secretary Wang remembers their hard work, and the county committee also remembers their hard work."

"So even if it's tough, even if this job offends some people who break the rules, you absolutely cannot back down, and you don't need to worry about anything."

"With Secretary Wang and the county leaders' care and support, we are not afraid of anything!"

Chen Jingcheng is also a good talker.

He knew what Deputy Secretary Wang wanted to say, so he wanted to use these words to shut him down, hoping to keep him from speaking.

Chen Jingcheng was just a deputy section-level cadre. Facing the third-ranking leader in Linchuan County, there was really not much he could do.

In fact, he didn't want to confront Deputy Secretary Wang directly right now. He wasn't qualified. Of course, it wouldn't matter if he did, as Li Feitu would protect him, but he still didn't want to directly confront him.

After hearing Chen Jingcheng's words, Deputy Secretary Wang must have understood what Chen Jingcheng meant.

But Deputy Secretary Wang obviously didn't think much of it.

Instead of hanging up, he continued talking.

"Jingcheng, good, very good. I'm very pleased to have this understanding."

"As expected of the young man whom both County Chief Li and Secretary Zhao have personally recognized and greatly admired, my impression of you is also very good."

"I remember saying at the last Standing Committee meeting that I really hoped you could come to the County Party Committee Office as deputy director. I remember promising you that after two or three years, you would be promoted to a full-fledged section-level position in a township or county and truly become the top leader. Hehe, then you will be the youngest full-fledged section-level leader in Linchuan County."

"I think you're good enough to rank among the top in everything, not just Linchuan County, but even Oasis City."

"Jingcheng, after hearing your words, I feel even more strongly that you are a talented person and you should be properly nurtured."

"In two or three years, you'll be at the level of a section chief. A few more years later, around thirty years old, I think you're fully capable of becoming a deputy division chief."

"Jingcheng, you know that the most crucial thing in life is making choices. The most important things in life are just a few steps."

"You are young and capable, and you want to enter politics. But you should know that to truly enter politics, you need to reach the deputy director level. Only then will you have the opportunity to step out of Linchuan County and become a county leader, managing the affairs of the entire county, and making more connections with outstanding talents."

"Jingcheng, I think you really deserve to be nurtured. Please consider my opinion carefully. This is a consensus between Secretary Zhao and me. We both believe that you can grow rapidly. Being a section chief is not your final destination; being a deputy division chief is just your starting point!"

This promise carries immense weight.

Many people work hard and try every possible method, but still can't get a ticket to the deputy director level.

They could only retire in the county town for their entire lives, taking on one section-level position after another. It seemed glamorous, but in reality, how could they not yearn for a higher stage?

Once you embark on a career in politics and experience the allure of power, it's like an addiction—you simply can't give it up.

Today, if Chen Jingcheng didn't know Li Feitu, didn't follow County Chief Li, or if Li Feitu wasn't good to him, or if Chen Jingcheng couldn't accept Li Feitu's ideals and ambitions, then it's hard to say whether Chen Jingcheng would be tempted.

But now, there are no "what ifs".

"Secretary Wang, thank you so much for your recognition. I'm still young and need more training. I will definitely work hard in the future."

"Don't worry, I will not let you and the county leaders down. I will definitely achieve something that will make you proud."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Secretary Wang smiled and nodded, saying, "Jingcheng, I'm very pleased that you have this idea."

"However, Jingcheng, it's good to work hard, but sometimes, people need to learn to be flexible."

"Within the system, especially on a career path, do you know what's most important?"

"Actually, it's not about grades or ability, but about human relationships, connections, and whether you can do the right thing at the right time."

coming.

After laying the groundwork for a while, Deputy Secretary Wang finally began to say what he wanted to say.

Does he genuinely admire Chen Jingcheng?

Nonsense. Without Li Feitu's trust and support, how would he know who Chen Jingcheng was?

Is Chen Jingcheng capable and decisive?

I won't deny it, but are there too few capable and courageous young people?

But how many people have Chen Jingcheng's opportunity?

Therefore, Chen Jingcheng is very clear that his greatest value lies in Li Feitu's trust, not in his own abilities. Whether Li Feitu acknowledges it or not, it is a fact.

Deputy Secretary Wang told himself that people should work hard, but they should also learn to be flexible, and that was correct.

Doing the right thing at the right time is definitely true.

However, what constitutes flexibility and what constitutes the right thing to do depends on Chen Jingcheng's own understanding.

However, Chen Jingcheng knew that he might not satisfy Deputy Secretary Wang today.

What he considered to be right was probably, in Deputy Secretary Wang's view, absolutely wrong.

"Thank you for your guidance, Secretary Wang. I will keep it in mind."

Deputy Secretary Wang smiled and nodded, seemingly very satisfied with Chen Jingcheng's attitude.

And at this moment, he finally said what he wanted to say.

"Jingcheng, I actually agree with County Magistrate Feitu's proposal to change the atmosphere of officialdom. However, I think some things need to be done slowly and gradually. We need to differentiate between different types of people and not apply the same standard to everyone."

"For example, some veteran comrades have worked in important positions for many years and have made many years of hard work. These comrades have a strong desire to repent. We should always give them a chance to correct their mistakes. We cannot let a person's life's efforts be turned into nothing just because they have had a couple of drinks."

Do you think I'm right?
