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

Because of the highway, it only takes about half an hour to get from Linchuan County to Oasis City.

Even so, Li Feitu could not possibly arrive at the venue on time, so he would set off promptly at eight o'clock.

At this moment, around 7:30, Chen Jingcheng had already tidied up and arrived at the government office.

Today will be an exceptionally different day, a day that will change everything. So Li Feitu arrived at the office early in the morning, and Chen Jingcheng knocked on the door of Li Feitu's office and looked at Li Feitu.

His expression was somewhat solemn, but there was no fear in his eyes.

Li Feitu looked at Chen Jingcheng and smiled, "Jingcheng, there's no need to be so serious, and there's nothing to worry about. We already knew about this, didn't we?"

"How about it? Have you noticed that other people's attitudes towards you have started to change?"

Chen Jingcheng didn't really feel much about this. He had been at home for the past two days and hadn't gone anywhere.

Moreover, the city of Oasis has a new Party Secretary, and the fact that this new Party Secretary has a good relationship with Zhao Mingyuan, the Party Secretary of Linchuan County, has always been a secret known only to a small circle of people. Besides, the leadership cadre meeting on Monday has not yet been held, so the news will not spread so quickly.

However, Chen Jingcheng knew that after today, especially after everyone knew that the newly appointed municipal party secretary Sun Yikun was Zhao Mingyuan's backer and was at odds with the Li family, everything would change.

The kind looks and fawning attitude that once shone on Chen Jingcheng will be completely changed.

The situation that Li Feitu had painstakingly built up in Linchuan County is about to collapse.

The entire Linchuan County will be completely back in the hands of Secretary Zhao Mingyuan, and even more firmly than before.

Chen Jingcheng shook his head and said softly, "County Chief, I've been at home these past two days and haven't felt anything unusual."

"However, I'm mentally prepared."

At this point, Chen Jingcheng looked at Li Feitu with some concern. Compared to Li Feitu, he, Chen Jingcheng, was not the main target. Even if there were bad results, how bad could it be?

But Li Feitu was different.

This was a man who became a county magistrate at the age of thirty-five. His future was limitless, and he himself was ambitious and wanted to make a name for himself.

Now, the family is being directly targeted by the other side. Although his father has not been dismissed and is still sitting in the position of deputy provincial-level deputy director of the People's Congress, his uncle, who originally held real power and was expected to become deputy provincial-level, has been transferred from the position of municipal party secretary to deputy secretary-general of the provincial CPPCC. Although it is said that the rank remains unchanged, this is not even a lateral transfer, which is a signal.

One sign of the Li family's downfall.

Those in the province who could associate with the Li family were all seasoned and shrewd individuals. Even those who weren't particularly bright could see that the Li family had lost power.

Those who used to fawn over the Li family have long since begun to distance themselves from them. Severing ties is considered prudent; some have even started kicking them while they're down.

If we're talking about a sense of loss, Li Feitu should feel the biggest sense of loss. His time as county magistrate is probably coming to an end.

Fortunately, although Li Feitu's eyes were filled with solemnity, resentment, and some fatigue, there was still some spirit and a sliver of confidence.

Li Feitu walked up to Chen Jingcheng with a smile and shook his head, saying, "I've told you everything I need to say. You're probably going to have to suffer a bit now, but don't worry, even if something really happens to me, I'll do everything I can to protect you."

"You haven't been working by my side for very long. Your promotion and appointment were unanimously approved by the Standing Committee. As for the so-called framing of you, there is ample evidence to prove your innocence. Don't worry, you will be safe and sound."

By this time, Li Feitu was already in dire straits himself, yet he was still worried about Chen Jingcheng, leaving Chen Jingcheng at a loss for words.

Whether Li Feitu intentionally concealed his background or had some other purpose, at the beginning, Li Feitu knew nothing, yet he was still very kind to her.

Besides, he should express his gratitude to Li Feitu in every way possible; he was just a little awkward at the moment.

With a soft sigh, Chen Jingcheng looked at Li Feitu.

"County Magistrate, I believe that justice resides in the hearts of the people."

"Don't worry, I'm really prepared. You don't need to worry about me."

"If things don't work out, we can always start over!"

Should we start over?

Yes, Chen Jingcheng has the confidence to start over. In fact, he doesn't even need to start over. As long as the father and son recognize each other, and as long as that person knows of Chen Jingcheng's existence, Chen Jingcheng's future will be limitless.

Ultimately, things are different.

But Li Feitu still couldn't say these things.

"It's almost time, Jingcheng, I'm going to a meeting."

"Work hard, everything will pass, and your future is still limitless."

After saying this, Li Feitu patted Chen Jingcheng on the shoulder and went downstairs, where the driver was already waiting.

Third floor, the secretary's office.

Secretary Zhao and Deputy Secretary Wang saw Li Feitu's car drive out of the government compound through the window. Compared to Li Feitu's solemn expression, both Secretary Zhao and Deputy Secretary Wang had smiles on their faces.

"Secretary, I heard that Li Feitu has been staying at home these past two days, not going anywhere and not seeing anyone."

"Hehe, guess what expression he has right now? If you ask me, I think he's probably looking like he's about to cry.

Deputy Secretary Wang's face was now beaming with joy, completely devoid of the pain he felt when he was suppressed by Li Feitu before; only excitement and anticipation remained.

Secretary Zhao smiled faintly, as if everything was under control, but beneath that so-called composure, the expectation and amusement in his eyes were unmistakable.

"It's okay to cry. After all, he's still young. He's experienced such a big change, so he should have a good cry."

"If anyone is to blame, it's no one else. They can only blame the Li family for making the wrong choice, taking the wrong path, and offending the wrong people."

Deputy Secretary Wang chuckled and asked, "Secretary, when are we going to make our move?"

"Should we wait a little longer?"

"Or should we deal with Chen Jingcheng first, and then use that as a basis to attack Li Feitu?"

At this point, Deputy Secretary Wang excitedly said, "Secretary, Li Feitu is definitely not going to keep his position as county head. Um, how about I go with you to pay a visit to the newly arrived Secretary Sun?"

This was Deputy Secretary Wang's main objective.

Li Feitu's arrival prevented him from becoming the county magistrate.

Now that Li Feitu is in trouble, and Secretary Zhao and the newly arrived municipal party secretary are his own people, isn't it a sure thing that I'll become the county head?

Although the process was somewhat bumpy and time was wasted, it didn't take too long, and I can still move forward.
