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

"Uncle, Baicheng City is indeed much stronger than Oasis City in terms of economic size and other aspects. But don't worry, since I've chosen to go to Oasis City, I'm sure I have a certain degree of confidence in boosting Oasis City's economy."

"At that time, based on my achievements in Oasis City, it will be a natural thing for me to move forward and enter the provincial or ministerial level. Besides, since Li Zhixing wants to go to Oasis City, then I am even more determined to go there."

"Li Feitu of the Li family, he and I are of the same generation. He is currently the county magistrate of Linchuan County under Oasis City. Hehe, it is said that he has only been in office for a short time and has already had a very unpleasant falling out with the county party secretary. Moreover, relying on his family's power, he wants to have more say than the party secretary. I don't care what he wants to do, but for me, he may be a good breakthrough point."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yikun's uncle remained silent for a moment before saying, "The Li family's influence should not be underestimated. Li Zhixing's qualifications are also sufficient. He doesn't even need to go to Oasis City to take up a post; he is qualified to enter the vice-provincial level. After all, he is already the municipal party secretary."

"If we can really achieve something in Oasis City, then there will be even less of a way to stop us. If the Li family continues to be so stable, even if we can keep up with them, it's hard to guarantee that they won't suddenly catch up one day. After all, the gap isn't that big. If that happens, everything will be very difficult."

"Yikun, since you want to go to Oasis City, then I'll help you get it."

"However, remember the current situation. Even if we can coexist with the Li family, this time we must suppress them. Li Zhiyuan has been too comfortable in this position; he should step down."

"As for Li Zhixing, there's no need to say more. I don't want to see another vice-provincial level official from the Li family, even if they don't have real power. So, the best outcome for him is to retire at the ministerial level, nothing more!"

"As for Li Feitu, let him be restrained. Young people are too hot-tempered. If there's nothing particularly wrong with him, let him be restrained and calm down. If he makes a mistake, then I think he's unqualified to be the county magistrate."

Sun Yikun's uncle spoke these words calmly, as if it were just casual conversation, but his words implied that he was influencing the fate of an extremely powerful political family in the province.

Sun Yikun smiled and nodded, saying, "I'm only eight years older than Li Feitu. I met him when he was young. I'll give him the respect he deserves."

"However, if you don't appreciate my kindness, then you can't blame me."

Sun Yikun's uncle nodded, waved his hand, and said with emotion, "Our Sun family and the Li family have been competing for so many years. Although we have the upper hand over the Li family, the Li family's foundation, connections, and resources are still there."

"Let's not talk about Li Zhiyuan. Li Zhixing is an invaluable talent in terms of official reputation, character, ability, and shrewdness. Once he gains power, he could very well rise to great heights."

"We can't take this risk. Li Feitu, although young, was appreciated by many leaders when he worked in the province. Although he hasn't made any progress or achieved any political success in Linchuan County yet, once he does, and Li Zhixing rises again, Li Feitu's future will be very promising."

"Li Zhixing and Li Feitu are enough to support the Li family for decades to come."

"With one of their close associates making a mistake and leaving his post, we now have a powerful backer. This is the best opportunity; if we miss it, we don't know when we'll get another chance."

"After all these years, it's time for us and the Li family to settle our scores."

"Go, get ready, and go to Oasis City to serve as the Party Secretary."

Sun Yikun bowed slightly and then left the study.

He agreed with his uncle, and that was indeed the case.

After so many years, it's time to resolve the feud between the Sun and Li families. Moreover, this is the best opportunity, and we must not miss it. Even if we have to use some extreme measures, we must bring down the Li family!

That night, many people were sleepless, while many others continued with their usual routines. Nothing seemed strange, nor was anything unusual.

The next morning arrived.

After getting up, Chen Jingcheng rode his bicycle to the county government.

When Chen Jingcheng arrived at his workplace, it was still early, and many people had not yet arrived.

Today, from the moment he arrived here, Chen Jingcheng knew that trouble might be on its way.

There's trouble in Yangliushu Village, Xiaoshiqiao Town.

Of course, he was not afraid of this trouble, nor was he afraid of being framed by others. He already had all the recordings and had discussed the details with County Magistrate Li Feitu beforehand, but others did not know this. Therefore, they might use this matter to manipulate him.

It's highly likely that Deputy Secretary Wang will do this.

The night inspection last night resulted in the discovery of Deputy Director Lin of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau. It's understandable that their director would plead for leniency, but the fact that Deputy Secretary Wang personally called them indicates that the matter is truly extraordinary.

Chen Jingcheng hadn't thought much of it at first, but the more Deputy Secretary Wang acted this way, the more secrets Deputy Director Lin had, and the more likely it was to have a negative impact on Deputy Secretary Wang.

Considering that Deputy Secretary Wang's nephew still runs a real estate company in the county, it seems understandable.

Therefore, Chen Jingcheng believed that Deputy Secretary Wang would not let him off easily and would definitely continue to talk to him about Deputy Director Lin's matter today. Even if he said that he had reported to the county head, Wang would find a way to make him change his mind.

The thing they used to threaten them was probably that false accusation in Xiaoshiqiao Town.

Chen Jingcheng poured himself a cup of tea and sat down in his office to wait.

Chen Jingcheng remained in the General Affairs Section's office. He did not change offices after becoming the deputy director of the government office and the director of the supervision office. This office was the closest to the county magistrate, and he could meet with the county magistrate immediately if summoned. Moreover, the rooms on the second floor were also in short supply, so there was no need to change.

If he really needs to work independently, he can rest and work in the inspection office on the first floor.

It was eight o'clock, and everyone who was supposed to be at work had already arrived.

After meeting Chen Jingcheng, Director Gao smiled and said a few words before returning to his office.

County Chief Li hadn't arrived yet, but a phone call came in. Chen Jingcheng was a little stunned when he saw the caller ID.

The expected call from Deputy Secretary Wang, or from his secretary, did not come.

However, Chen Jingcheng was also very familiar with the person who made the call.

It's not that I'm familiar with the person, but rather that I'm familiar with the name.

If Chen Jingcheng was previously the county government's top secretary, and the county leaders had to give him face, then the person calling him now could be considered Linchuan County's top secretary. In a sense, the two had the same influence, but the other party was clearly superior, since the other party was Secretary Zhao's secretary.

Secretary Zhao is the county party secretary, the top leader, and has been operating in Linchuan County for many years. Who would dare to disrespect his secretary?

So, Secretary Zhao is going to talk to me directly?
