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

Upon hearing Chen Jingcheng's personal agreement, Village Chief Bai immediately stood up excitedly, grasped Chen Jingcheng's hands with both of his, and was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

He has been the village chief for so many years, but in fact, the Bai family's conditions are only average in Baimiao Village.

Perhaps he was greedy for petty gains, or perhaps he had his own selfish motives, but compared to other village officials, Village Chief Bai was indeed someone who genuinely wanted to improve Baimiao Village and was more selfless.

It is precisely because of this personality, and because he has asked for favors so many times, that Village Chief Bai can easily distinguish who is genuinely helping, who is being perfunctory, and who is half-heartedly agreeing.

Chen Jingcheng genuinely wanted to help.

"Director Chen, thank you so much! I thank you on behalf of the villagers of Baimiao Village. You have been a great help."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Village Chief Bai, by all accounts, I should call you Uncle. There's no need for words of thanks."

"According to what you said, Baimiao Village meets the policy requirements and should be among the top villages to receive funding support. However, due to some reasons, it has not received funding support and the village's environment has not improved. This matter should be addressed."

"I, Chen Jingcheng, won't say anything fancy or claim to be selfless. I grew up in Baimiao Village, and I know very well what the environment and roads are like there. So, if it's reasonable and compliant with regulations, I'm willing to help Baimiao Village as much as possible."

"My wish is to help the villagers become wealthy and improve their living environment."

"So, you're welcome."

Chen Jingcheng was speaking from the heart. He was acting out of public interest, but he also had his own selfish motives. The environment in Baimiao Village was indeed a bit poor. In fact, according to his and Li Feitu's plan, it wasn't just Baimiao Village that would be changed. They hoped that all the villages in the entire Linchuan County could be improved.

Of course, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and Linchuan County's current economic strength is insufficient to achieve such a thing.

However, the country's policies will definitely favor rural areas, and farmers' lives will definitely improve. With the support of the country, if the county's economy can improve and some subsidies are provided, then everything will soon become visibly better.

This is a real achievement, and at the very least, it will earn the most genuine gratitude from the people.

"A golden cup or a silver cup is not as good as the people's word of mouth." Some people may not care about this, but Li Feitu cares about it, and so does Chen Jingcheng.

Compared to investing large sums of money in landmark buildings and vanity projects in county towns that do not bring economic benefits or improve people's living standards, what they really want is for people to do some good and practical things for the people.

At this moment, Master Chen's gaze towards Chen Jingcheng was increasingly filled with a sense of satisfaction.

Chen Jingcheng's words and actions satisfied him greatly.

Having lived for so many years, he still has a good eye for people. Chen Jingcheng is a man who doesn't forget his roots.

"Village Chief Bai, since Jing Cheng has said so, there's no need for you to thank me too much. Doing so would seem too formal."

"Just as Jingcheng said, our Baimiao Village is in line with the policy, and it is one of the most backward villages in the whole town. The town's support funds should be given to us."

"Hmph, if those officials had even half of Jing Cheng's heart for serving the people, they wouldn't have made you run around so many times."

Master Chen's evaluation was undeniably high. Chen Jingcheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Third Grandfather, you flatter me too much. I'm just doing what I should do. Although I'm not a high-ranking official yet, whether you're a big or small official, as long as you have a job, you should do your duty. Besides, Baimiao Village is where I grew up; it's my hometown, and there are so many clansmen there. I'll definitely help them as much as I can."

After saying this, Chen Jingcheng looked at Chen Dachuan and Li Sumei.

"Dad, Mom, let's find a restaurant. Third Grandfather and the village chief have come all this way, and it's almost lunchtime. We should treat them to a meal."

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Bai quickly said, "Director Chen, no, how can you treat us? You've already helped our village a lot. I must treat you to this meal."

Village Chief Bai was speaking from the heart. If Chen Jingcheng hadn't agreed, it probably wouldn't have been as simple as just one or two meals for him to get the support funds.

If it were that easy to run down, then Village Chief Bai wouldn't have come along today.

Chen Jingcheng shook his head at Village Chief Bai and said, "Village Chief Bai, let's go with the flow. Let me make the arrangements."

"Also, I worked in a rural town for a period of time, so I have a relatively good understanding of some of the situations."

"Our Linchuan County is not wealthy. There is indeed not much money in the county, and it can even be said that we have a lot of debt outside."

"Some funds allocated from above are often diverted around and rarely used for their intended purpose. Even when they are used, we may not be able to receive the full amount."

"Of course, a large part of this is due to human factors, but the fact remains that there is a lot of debt and various financial problems."

"However, this situation will definitely improve. The country is paying more and more attention to rural areas, and in the future, policies and funds will only be tilted more and more towards rural areas."

"The future of rural areas is promising. Village Chief Bai, if you have any good projects, good policies, or good ideas, please feel free to ask for my help. I, Chen Jingcheng, am also a member of Baimiao Village. I would be happy to do something good and practical for the villagers."

"I dare not say it will be big, but when every household in our Baimiao Village has access to cement roads, running water, television, and the internet, and everyone builds a two-story villa and drives a car, then the entire face of Linchuan County will be changed. This is what I want to see."

This is indeed what Chen Jingcheng wanted to see. Even with his help, if Baimiao Village could really undergo such a big change, it would mean that the entire Linchuan County was in a thriving state, and everything was developing in a better and better direction.

Chen Jingcheng was naturally pleased to see this situation.

This was originally his and Li Feitu's idea.

Afterwards, no one went to a restaurant for dinner. Li Sumei and Chen Dachuan had already bought a lot of groceries. Chen Jingcheng, Third Master Chen, and Village Chief Bai ate a meal at home. The food was plentiful and home-style. The wine they drank wasn't fancy, but it made everyone happy.

And so the day passed, and on Sunday, Chen Jingcheng stayed at home without doing anything.

Until Monday morning, when he woke up in bed and opened his eyes, a look of seriousness flashed in Chen Jingcheng's eyes.

Yesterday afternoon, Chen Jingcheng received a notice from the Municipal Government Office that a city-wide meeting of leading cadres would be solemnly held at 9:00 AM on Monday in the conference room on the ninth floor of the Municipal Party Committee Building No. 1!

And this will be the first day that the newly appointed municipal party secretary officially appears in Oasis City.

Similarly, this will also be the countdown to when Li Feitu and Chen Jingcheng will be targeted, investigated, and even face more serious consequences!
