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

Chen Jingcheng drank quite a lot, and when he woke up the next day, his head still hurt a little.

However, after drinking the hangover soup made by Li Sumei, I felt much better.

Today is Saturday. Li Sumei and Chen Dachuan are both at home. However, Li Sumei left after making hangover soup, saying that she had made plans to go shopping with a friend.

It was almost noon when Li Sumei returned from outside.

However, after returning, Li Sumei seemed somewhat preoccupied.

Chen Dachuan seemed to have figured something out, so he walked over to Li Sumei and asked her about the situation.

After Li Sumei explained the situation to Chen Dachuan, Chen Dachuan fell silent. He knew he couldn't solve the problem.

It wasn't until lunchtime that Li Sumei looked at Chen Jingcheng and spoke hesitantly.

"Jingcheng, do you still remember Aunt Lin?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "I remember. Although I haven't seen her much over the years, she was your best friend, and I remember her."

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly mention Aunt Lin?"

Li Sumei looked at Chen Jingcheng and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Aunt Lin and Lin Na know that Chen Jingcheng is now the deputy director of the government office at the deputy section chief level, and he works under the county head, so they want to ask Chen Jingcheng for help with some things.

Li Sumei was unsure whether this matter would be difficult for Chen Jingcheng, and she didn't want him to be accused of abusing his power for personal gain, so she hesitated and didn't know how to bring it up.

After much deliberation, she couldn't refuse Lin Na's request, but at the same time, she didn't want to put Chen Jingcheng in a difficult position, which is why she hesitated.

However, Li Sumei was not the type to hide her feelings. Seeing her like this, Chen Jingcheng knew that something must have happened.

With a smile, Chen Jingcheng said, "Mom, is something wrong with Aunt Lin? Tell me, and I'll definitely help if I can. If I can't, please don't blame Aunt Lin."

Hearing Chen Jingcheng's words, Li Sumei finally spoke.

"Jingcheng, it's like this, your Aunt Lin's family runs a small business, a small shop that sells some things, and there may have been some problems in the middle, and then the people from the Market Supervision Administration came to investigate."

"They're going to issue tickets, and quite a few at that, saying they'll fine you several thousand. I don't know what happened to your Aunt Lin's husband, but he got angry and argued with them. As a result, they've sealed off the shop, closed it down, and are now fining him 30,000."

"Jingcheng, you know that your Aunt Lin's family isn't doing too well either. They run a shop, but it's just enough to make ends meet. Thirty thousand yuan is enough for them to earn for more than half a year, and now it's been shut down."

"So, she came to me hoping you could help her figure out if the lockdown could be lifted and the fine could be waived."

After saying all that, Li Sumei quickly continued, "Of course, Jingcheng, I didn't agree. After all, I know this is not a simple matter. They've put up a seal and fined her 30,000 yuan. This is definitely not a small matter. So I only promised to ask you when I got home. I didn't say I would definitely help her get it done."

"If it's difficult for you, or if it affects you, then forget it."

Li Sumei's words did indeed make Chen Jingcheng frown.

However, Chen Jingcheng frowned, not because the matter was difficult, but because Li Sumei spoke to him cautiously, which made Chen Jingcheng feel uncomfortable.

This was the mother who raised him from childhood, and although she wasn't his biological mother, she treated him even better than his own children. Chen Jingcheng already knew roughly what had happened to him back then. If it weren't for Chen Dachuan and Li Sumei, he might have frozen to death on the roadside long ago.

Why does he want to become an official and have money? Yes, it's undeniable that he wants to do certain things, but who can say that it's not so that his parents can live a better, more respectable life and be respected by others?

Now, he is very grateful to his parents for thinking so much about his work. He feels that he should help them, or at least ask about the situation.

Besides, after these few days, even if I wanted to help, I probably wouldn't be able to do much anymore.

Chen Jingcheng gently placed the bowl and chopsticks on the table and said with a smile, "Mom, there's no need for you to be so careful when you tell me these things. I'm your son. Whether I'm an official or not, I'm still your son."

"I know you mean well and don't want to put me in a difficult position, but it's okay. Just tell me what's wrong. After all, this is a society that values ​​personal connections. There will always be many people who want to ask me for help after they know that I've become an official and have some power."

"They might not come directly to me, but they will come to you and ask you to put in a good word for them. You and Dad can't just refuse outright. Besides, I'm the one in charge, not you. Just say you'll agree to ask around, but I'll decide whether you can actually help and how much you can help."

"Of course, you and Dad can rest assured that I will not do anything illegal or disorderly."

"I won't do anything that would harm the fairness of others in order to help them. However, if it's reasonable and just because they lack access, information, or have been treated unfairly, I will help as much as I can."

Chen Jingcheng never claimed to be a selfless person, as if he would turn his back on his family and friends once he became an official and gained power.

He is not that kind of person, nor can he be that kind of person. He can genuinely care for others and ordinary people, but that does not prevent him from helping his relatives and friends within the bounds of reason, law, and discipline.

Of course, as I said before, he won't do or help with anything illegal or disorderly.

But he can help ask about things like what Li Sumei just mentioned.

The argument was not difficult to resolve. As for the fine, although he did not work in the specific business unit, he knew a little about it. The fine was subject to fluctuation.

Thirty thousand is a fine, and three thousand is also a fine.

It all depends on how the law enforcement officers issue the invoice and whether they impose the maximum penalty.

In fact, Chen Jingcheng already had the idea of ​​bringing up this issue with Li Feitu.

Many public officials, especially those who directly face the people, may not have ranks or official positions, but they are law enforcement officers with the power to enforce the law against the people.

Does law enforcement have any human touch?

Whether law enforcement is fair and impartial is, in fact, a matter of great importance!

This directly relates to the image of the Party and the government in the hearts of the people.

In this case, if Lin Na's shop wasn't particularly serious, and it wasn't a case of intentional wrongdoing, should the shop be sealed off and punished to the maximum extent possible, or should she be given a chance to correct her behavior without being sealed off or punished to the maximum extent possible? That would completely depend on the mood and decision of the law enforcement officers.

This situation is not an isolated case, nor is it a problem that can be easily solved. In short, although the supervision system seems to be very comprehensive, there is still room for improvement.

Most importantly, it is crucial to ensure that the demands of ordinary people are truly met, and whether complaints against public officials and law enforcement officers can have a deterrent effect.

Of course, the most important thing is that if law enforcement officers themselves have the heart to consider the people, then everything will be much easier to handle.

But this is the most difficult thing, yet it is something that must be done and something that must be persisted in.

Otherwise, many ordinary people would not dare to complain, and would be afraid of retaliation.

Because of fear, sometimes we just endure it, and it passes.

However, such forbearance will only embolden these law enforcement officers who are only concerned with their own interests!

Chen Jingcheng shook his head, clearing his mind of these thoughts. His current situation was uncertain, and he couldn't predict what the future held. Thinking about these things was pointless.

Taking out his phone, Chen Jingcheng found the number of the director of the Market Supervision Bureau and pressed the dial button.
