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

Li Feitu looked at Chen Jingcheng, showing no intention of hiding anything.

Without Chen Min'en, perhaps the Li family would have escaped unscathed this time, but their careers would have been completely ruined.

From now on, the Li family will have no place in the officialdom of Qingjiang Province.

However, if Chen Min'en is willing to help, the situation will be completely reversed.

Not only will the Li family's chances of winning increase significantly, but they may even be able to go further in the future.

Did he take advantage of Chen Jingcheng's intentions?

Have!

This is certain and cannot be concealed. As long as they need Chen Min'en's help, it doesn't matter whether they initially had ulterior motives or not, or whether they even intended to help him. What matters is the result, which is that they did indeed take advantage of Chen Jingcheng and the relationship between Chen Jingcheng and Chen Min'en.

Li Feitu looked at Chen Jingcheng, opened his mouth as if to say something, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

Chen Jingcheng chuckled and shook his head, saying, "County Magistrate, there's no need to say anything; I already know the answer."

"Don't worry, I won't blame you. Although I haven't been in officialdom for long, I know that you need help in officialdom. It's very difficult for one person to go it alone."

"I know your character, and from you I can also see your family traditions, and thus learn about the character, conduct, and official conduct of your father and uncle."

"Besides, this time, it was someone else who deliberately caused trouble. I was just wondering how to repay you. Now, I have an opportunity. However, I can't be sure if I am their biological son yet, so I can't be sure if I can be of any help to you."

"Yes, if needed, and if possible, I will do my best."

"You are a good official, a good official who has the people in his heart. I hope you have a smooth and successful journey."

"Of course, I am also very grateful for your kindness in recognizing my talent. I am also grateful to you for finding my biological parents for me and for solving the mystery that has puzzled me for many years."

"County Magistrate, I'll head back now."

After saying that, Chen Jingcheng left Li Feitu's office.

Li Feitu looked at the closed door and sighed softly. He was very grateful for Chen Jingcheng's understanding and even more grateful for the promise Chen Jingcheng had just made to him. With Chen Jingcheng's words, he felt more confident about many things and could finally feel more at ease.

The reason Li Feitu told Chen Jingcheng all this today was not only to prepare him mentally, but also because he wanted to hear Chen Jingcheng's personal promise. Only then could he feel at ease.

But he couldn't deny that after today, there might be some distance between him and Chen Jingcheng. The so-called "a scholar will die for one who understands him," the so-called gratitude, would disappear, much of it.

And there's nothing we can do about it.

Chen Jingcheng returned home quietly. It was already past 10 p.m., and his parents were already asleep.

Chen Jingcheng sat on his bed, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.

He learned a lot of things, and some of his previous doubts were no longer doubts. He knew very well that Li Feitu would not lie to him about such things.

Because even if they were deceiving him, the truth would eventually come out when he actually met his so-called biological parents.

Therefore, he really shouldn't continue to hold a grudge.

He was not only not a child from a poor family, but also the child of a high-ranking official, whose family background might even be no less than that of Li Feitu.

However, he was still confused.

Looking towards his parents' room, Chen Jingcheng didn't know how to tell them, or even whether he should tell them at all.

However, after much thought, Chen Jingcheng decided not to say anything for now.

To avoid causing parents some anxiety, especially since it hasn't been confirmed whether they are actually the child of the person Li Feitu mentioned. No genetic testing has been done yet, and everything is still unknown.

But these words were just a way for Chen Jingcheng to comfort himself.

Aside from age, appearance, the fact that the other person had lost their child and that he had been taken in, there was one more crucial thing that Chen Jingcheng was almost certain of: he was that person's biological child.

A seven-month premature baby.

This information is crucial.

Chen Jingcheng's parents once said that when they found him as a child, he didn't look like a full-term baby; he looked like a premature baby.

With so many coincidences combined, it's no longer a coincidence.

Who is the father?

What does it look like?

Who is Mother?

What does it look like?

After all these years, once they knew they were still alive, according to Li Feitu, they searched for him desperately. They must have been very sad, and they must have really wanted to know if he was doing well.

Amidst these emotions, Chen Jingcheng gently closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When Chen Jingcheng woke up early the next morning, his face had returned to its usual calm, and he was no longer thinking about anything.

After having breakfast and saying goodbye to his parents, Chen Jingcheng returned to his unit and went straight to the inspection office.

When it was time for work, everyone in the inspection office had already arrived.

Chen Jingcheng asked everyone to sit down and convened a small meeting, which was not really a meeting, but just a briefing.

"Everyone, last night the county head called me into his office and told me the results in person. It's very encouraging news; the number of people who were investigated has dropped dramatically, to almost none."

"This means that our work has been effective."

"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. Don't worry, Director Gao and I remember it, and County Chief Li has also noticed it."

"However, please don't let your guard down. We must continue our efforts and strive to reduce the number of violators to a true zero as soon as possible!"

"Alright, everyone, let's get to work. In addition to our regular tasks, let's continue with the inspections today."

After saying all this, Chen Jingcheng returned to his office and began his work. Of course, compared to others, his work was mostly done in accordance with Li Feitu's instructions.

Whether it's today or the days to come, everything remains calm and normal, as if nothing has happened.

Besides continuing his work in the inspection team, Chen Jingcheng spent more time by Li Feitu's side, carrying out various tasks.

Chen Jingcheng's name began to gain increasing fame in the officialdom of Linchuan County.

Nearly ten days have passed since Chen Jinghan and Chen Dashan brought the old lady here, and they haven't made any further moves, not even showing their faces in front of Chen Jingcheng, which surprised Chen Jingcheng quite a bit.

After all, he didn't need to ask around to know that Chen Dashan's three restaurants were in bad shape and were bound to lose money.

However, the fact that they haven't come to them doesn't mean they're self-aware enough not to help them; they must be plotting something.

Today is Friday again, and it's snowing again.

The snow wasn't heavy, but it fell gently and softly into the air, giving people a warm and romantic feeling.

After finishing work, Chen Jingcheng declined some invitations and walked slowly home along the street.

However, before he even got home, Chen Jingcheng received a call from Li Feitu.

His tone on the phone was somewhat serious.

"Jingcheng, where are you? Come to my office!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng took a deep breath and immediately turned to walk towards the county government. He had been following Li Feitu for some time, and no one understood better than him what Li Feitu's tone meant.

This is a major incident.
