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

Seeing Li Zhiyuan's calm expression, Li Zhixing nodded excitedly.

Yes, everything is different now.

Now that they have Chen Jingcheng in their hands, they are not someone anyone can easily manipulate.

Just for the merit of helping Chen Min'en find his biological son Chen Jingcheng, I dare not say anything else, even if they can't get on the Chen family's big ship, at least Chen Min'en will definitely not let anyone bully them.

If Chen Min'en and the Chen family were to abandon their benefactor in danger, it would be a huge blow to the Chen family's reputation.

Moreover, while the Sun family might have an edge over them in the province, compared to the Chen family—no, there's no need to even compare them—Chen Min'en alone against the Sun family is like comparing a giant ship to a fishing boat.

"Brother, your considerations are very thorough. Although we are now almost certain that Chen Jingcheng is Chen Min'en's child, we cannot say anything lightly without absolute certainty."

"However, to confirm the relationship between Chen Min'en and Chen Jingcheng, we need to compare it with Comrade Min'en's DNA. But as you know, someone of his rank, position, and potential would never reveal even a trace of such a thing."

"So, you're planning to reveal Chen Jingcheng's situation?"

Indeed, Li Zhiyuan and his team couldn't confirm or test it with 100% certainty because they couldn't obtain Chen Min'en's sample, not even a hair sample.

Li Zhiyuan thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "We can't get Comrade Min'en's, but we can get Chen Jingcheng's. I've already told Feitu to send over Chen Jingcheng's hair sample. Once we meet Comrade Min'en, we can leave everything to Comrade Min'en to decide."

"That's all we can and should do. Hopefully, the outcome will be good."

Li Zhiyuan's eyes still betrayed a hint of melancholy. Although he had almost confirmed Chen Jingcheng's identity, there was still a chance of something going wrong until the test results came out.

And this "what if" is something they absolutely do not want to see.

Li Zhixing was very happy. He felt that he was 100% sure. Chen Jingcheng and Chen Min'en looked so alike when they were young. Although he had never met Chen Jingcheng in person, he felt that this must be Chen Min'en's child just by looking at his appearance and the slight difference in the photo. There was no mistake.

They're not exactly identical, but they're quite similar.

"Hehe, elder brother, the Sun family probably never dreamed that the opportunity they painstakingly sought might just be the beginning of their family's decline."

"Feitu has done a great job!"

Hearing this, Li Zhiyuan nodded, quite moved.

Sometimes, things are just that simple, just that coincidental. If Li Feitu hadn't found Chen Jingcheng and discovered his possible identity, the Li family would probably be in real danger now.

But now, with Chen Jingcheng as our trump card, everything is no longer a problem.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyuan looked at Li Zhixing and smiled, "Zhixing, if we're talking about merit, I think Feitu's contribution is not as great as Kunkun's. If Kunkun hadn't taken the initiative to call Feitu to take care of Chen Jingcheng, even though they worked in the same county, Feitu wouldn't have noticed Chen Jingcheng. In that case, the opportunity would have been right in front of us, but we missed it."

"Kunkun deserves the most credit."

At this point, Li Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Kunkun has never shown any interest in boys since she was little. At her age, she really should be dating."

"Zhixing, when you have time, talk to Kunkun. When it comes to relationships, you can't just wait for them to happen; you have to actively pursue your own happiness."

"She has given so much and done so much in silence; others should know about it. Otherwise, who will know what she has actually done?"

"As a father, you can't ignore your child's happiness."

In Li Zhiyuan and Li Zhixing's view, it was already a foregone conclusion that Kunkun liked Chen Jingcheng.

If they could really get together with Chen Jingcheng, they would naturally be very happy to see it. Their only concern was that once Chen Jingcheng acknowledged his ancestors and returned to his clan, the gap between them would be too great.

As for Chen Jingcheng's character, they weren't worried about anything. Kunkun was a sensible girl, and Li Feitu was someone who didn't easily praise others, yet they praised Chen Jingcheng highly, which proved that Chen Jingcheng was indeed a very good person.

Li Zhixing sighed and said, "Brother, the child is grown up, and I can't control her anymore. But you're right, if Kunkun really likes him, she should let Chen Jingcheng know how she feels."

"Whether it works out or not is a matter for the future, but if we say nothing and do nothing, we'll only regret it if Chen Jingcheng ends up with someone else."

"I said it, I did it, I tried my best. No matter what the result is, at least I won't have any regrets."

"Of course, as for Chen Jingcheng's status and position after returning to the Chen family, I don't feel any pressure. Our family is poor, but no worse than anyone else. Although we are far from the level of the Chen family, we are not bad either. Even if there are difficulties, I will do whatever I should for the happiness of my children."

After saying this, Li Zhixing stood up and said with a smile, "Brother, let's keep trying to get to Oasis City. If I had any hesitation before about being transferred to Oasis City as the Party Secretary, now that Sun Yikun wants to compete with me, I really have to take this position."

"That's good. Only by continuing this struggle can we see who is truly on the Sun family's side."

"Brother, it's getting late. Let's get some rest. We'll just wait for the Sun family to bring about their own destruction."

After their conversation, Li Zhiyuan and Li Zhixing went back to rest. They didn't know what the Sun family would do starting tomorrow, but they were sure they would make a move. The Li family would go all out to try and secure Li Zhixing's position as secretary of the Oasis City Party Committee.

And they were waiting, waiting for Chen Min'en to lead the party and government delegation to arrive.

Meanwhile, in the provincial capital, in the provincial party committee's residential compound.

Sun Yikun sat in his study on the second floor, opposite his uncle, the man who had once overpowered Li Feitu's father, Li Zhiyuan. It was precisely because of that victory that Sun Yikun's uncle was able to enter the Standing Committee.

"Yikun, have you made up your mind about going to the Oasis?"

"Actually, in my opinion, you don't necessarily have to go to Oasis City to become the Party Secretary. It may seem like a step forward, but with your qualifications and achievements, it would be the ideal choice for you to take over after your current Party Secretary leaves in a year or two at most."

"After all, Oasis City's foundation is too weak, while your economic scale ranks among the top in the province. When you build on that foundation and achieve something, many things will be easier to discuss in the future."

Sun Yikun's uncle has a higher position and a broader perspective, so Sun Yikun, who is about to become the municipal party secretary at the age of forty-three, is also far from short-sighted.

He understood what his uncle was saying.

But he had to go to Oasis City!

Some things need to be resolved.
