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

Chen Jingcheng was moved by Li Feitu's words, but he was just an ordinary cadre who wasn't even a deputy section chief. The only thing he could do was to do his job well and serve the county head. He had no right to say anything else.

Looking at the ambitious County Magistrate Li, Chen Jingcheng took a deep breath, his eyes becoming extremely determined.

"County Magistrate, I have seen your dedication to the 800,000 people of Linchuan County, and I believe that everyone will see it."

"I, Chen Jingcheng, dare not make any grand pronouncements. All I can say is that I will do my best to do my job well, so as not to disappoint you or cause you any trouble."

County Magistrate Li gave Chen Jingcheng a deep look, smiled and said, "I know your abilities, and I believe you will be outstanding."

At this point, County Magistrate Li suddenly asked, "Jingcheng, do you have any relatives in the capital?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng paused for a moment, then thought about it carefully before shaking his head.

Beijing?

relative?

There really aren't any, but there are some in the provincial capital. Chen Jingcheng actually knows quite a bit about his parents' relatives, and to be honest, there are some who are officials.

However, the relationship was not close, not particularly intimate, and although his official rank was not low, it was not high either.

Chen Jingcheng didn't know why County Magistrate Li would suddenly ask such a question, but he still answered honestly.

"No, we don't have many relatives in the capital. Why is the county magistrate suddenly asking this?"

County Magistrate Li's expression was somewhat complicated. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just a casual question."

After checking the time, County Chief Li smiled and said, "Alright, you're new to the government office, so you're not quite used to everything yet. Go ahead and ask Director Gao to show you around. We'll meet at 9:30 later, and you can come with me."

Hearing this, Chen Jingcheng swallowed hard. He knew that this day would come. As the county magistrate's secretary, he naturally had to work with the county magistrate at all times.

He also has to sit in on meetings when the county head is in charge, and to put it bluntly, he's the one who carries the bags and water cups.

This is his job.

But Chen Jingcheng was thinking more about the meeting time. Although he wouldn't speak and was just accompanying the county head, he was well aware that this would be his first appearance at a meeting as the county head's secretary. All the leaders present would be curious about him and inquire about his situation.

His name, Chen Jingcheng, will quickly appear in the ears of all officials, big and small, in Linchuan County. County magistrate's secretary, government's first secretary—even if he is nothing, from the moment he enters the venue with the county magistrate, he will become a pivotal figure in Linchuan County!

He wanted to climb the ladder, to achieve great success, and to be respected. Chen Jingcheng just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Although it was thanks to the county magistrate's influence, so what? As long as the goal is achieved, that's enough.

Chen Jingcheng then left the county magistrate's office and found Director Gao Wentao.

After Chen Jingcheng left, County Chief Li dialed a mobile phone number.

The moment the call connected, County Chief Li smiled and said, "Kunkun, are you busy?"

A voice as clear as a silver bell immediately came through the phone.

"Brother, I'm not in a hurry. I'm just about to go see the professor."

"Why did you suddenly decide to call me? This isn't like you at all."

Upon hearing the girl's voice, County Chief Li smiled and said, "Kunkun, this is just your older brother's concern for you. Don't overwork yourself. However, you should also control your temper. Your mentor is a top professor in the country, and it is said that he will soon be elected as an academician. You must humbly learn from him."

Before County Chief Li could finish speaking, an impatient voice came through the phone.

"Okay, okay, brother, I got it. Is there anything else?"

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Li shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Chen Jingcheng, I've met him, he's a good person."

"I've already made him my secretary, but let me make this clear from the start: if he's not up to the task, I won't give him any special treatment."

The girl on the phone was visibly happy to hear Chen Jingcheng's name.

"Brother, I knew you were the best. Don't worry, Chen Jingcheng will definitely succeed. I know his abilities very well. He's absolutely your right-hand man. You must make good use of him."

County Magistrate Li smiled and agreed, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Kunkun, let me ask you, is Chen Jingcheng really from Linchuan County?"

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with his background?"

When Kunkun heard what County Chief Li said, his tone became somewhat puzzled.

"Brother, you should be able to see his file. He's from Linchuan County, we all know that."

"His parents are just ordinary wage earners. You're a local official now, why are you asking me? You can find out the information yourself."

"Did something happen? Why do you ask that?"

County Magistrate Li pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, it just doesn't seem quite right. Alright, you should focus on your studies. I have a meeting to attend, so I'll talk to you later."

"If you have time, you can come and see me."

After saying that, County Chief Li hung up the phone.

However, after hanging up the phone, County Chief Li fell into deep thought. Chen Jingcheng was handsome and refined, but his thoughts and doubts did not stem from this.

If so, he felt a sense of familiarity with that face.

I have a feeling that I've seen this before.

The file is fine.

A native of Linchuan County.

But why does he resemble a certain man he deeply admires and can only look up to?

"Chen Jingcheng, you can't really just happen to look like that elder when he was young, can you?"

"I heard that more than 20 years ago, that elder lost a child due to revenge from his enemies. But, it is said that whether the child really died or faked his death has always been a mystery."

"If you really are that elder's child, really a member of that family, that would be wonderful."

"This is absolutely fantastic news for me and my family."

County Magistrate Li shook his head. He wanted this to become a reality, but he temporarily put aside his wild thoughts. He couldn't believe that he was so lucky as to encounter the big shot's long-lost child in the very place where he had just taken office.

If that's true, it's incredibly lucky.

Regardless of the truth, County Chief Li decided to conduct a thorough investigation into Chen Jingcheng's background.

Even if it's not for any other reason, but just for his sister, he should investigate Chen Jingcheng thoroughly.

It's because her younger sister seems to have a one-sided crush on Chen Jingcheng.

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng was unaware that, in County Magistrate Li's eyes, he had become the long-lost child of a certain important figure.

If Chen Jingcheng knew what County Chief Li was thinking, he would feel a mix of emotions.

Because he knew very well that he was not his parents' biological child; he had been taken in by them.

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng, led by Gao Wentao, had already begun meeting with the comrades from the Comprehensive Section. When Gao Wentao learned that County Chief Li had decided to bring Chen Jingcheng to the meeting later, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he immediately changed his decision.

There's no need to wait any longer for the secretary selection; County Chief Li has made the decision, so naturally he won't have any objections.

At the same time, Chen Jingcheng didn't need to wait any longer and was directly appointed as the head of the Comprehensive Section of the Linchuan County Government Office and the secretary to the county magistrate.
