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

Li Zhixing sighed and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Now is not the time to talk about these things."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. When children grow up, we can't control their feelings, nor should we. Let them decide for themselves."

"To be honest, brother, I still think the same way. If possible, I would prefer that Kunkun find a more ordinary family. That way, she might live a better and happier life. Sometimes, a peaceful life is a blessing."

Li Zhiyuan expressed his understanding of Li Zhixing's words.

The Li family doesn't actually place much importance on social status when it comes to marriage. Of course, it would be better if the two families were in similar circumstances.

After all, sometimes, the so-called "matching social status" is actually a matter of knowledge, experience, and lifestyle.

You're the daughter of a billionaire, and you insist on marrying a penniless man. It's not that it's impossible, but you should first consider overcoming some difficulties.

For example, inequalities in consumption, income, social status, family background, and even gossip all need to be considered.

Li Zhiyuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry about those things. Our Kunkun is beautiful, has a great figure, is gentle and kind, considerate, and devoted. Most importantly, our Kunkun is not just a pretty face. Her abilities are recognized by top professors in the industry. She will definitely be a top scientist in the future."

"Our Kunkun is outstanding. Any family with a daughter-in-law like her should be secretly happy."

"The Chen family is very powerful and unapproachable, but you should trust us, Kunkun, and you should also trust the Chen family and Chen Jingcheng."

Hearing Li Zhiyuan's words, Li Zhixing finally felt a little happier.

After all, Kunkun is truly outstanding.

"Brother, I heard that Secretary An and the others are going to have another meeting today to discuss the reception plan and itinerary."

"Sun Yikun is participating too?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyuan sneered and said, "This is an important exchange activity between the two provinces, and the main leaders of both provinces will participate. How could Sun Yikun let go of this opportunity to show his face?"

"His ambition, the Sun family's ambition, is understandable."

"However, they probably didn't expect that Qingjiang Province would either not have any problems, or if problems did arise, the problems would lie with them."

"They wanted to show off, so they went to great lengths to arrange their itinerary to include the Oasis. Well, they've shot themselves in the foot. Let them be happy, they'll have their day."

A smile appeared on Li Zhixing's face.

Indeed, the Sun family brought this trouble upon themselves.

If it weren't for Chen Jingcheng's incident, the Sun family wouldn't have been without a chance to achieve their goals.

But with Chen Jingcheng's incident, the Sun family's current situation is a consequence of their own actions.

"Brother, there's something else I'm worried about."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyuan smiled and said, "What else is there to worry about?"

"Is it about your location?"

"Zhixing, to be honest, we've had a pretty thorough discussion before. We can't expect the Chen family to treat us any way. Whether they repay us and how they repay us is their business. Our hope lies in the future. You should understand that now."

"Using kindness for personal gain may bring immediate benefits, but one may regret it in the future."

Upon hearing Li Zhiyuan say this, Li Zhixing knew that Li Zhiyuan had misunderstood and thought that he was still unwilling to give up his position and power.

Of course, I really couldn't bear to part with it. How many people who have been leaders are willing to give up power and live a leisurely life?

If even a section-level leader in a small county town behaves this way, how much more so for Li Zhixing, who is the municipal party secretary and a potential future vice-provincial level official?

But that's not what I'm worried about today.

"Brother, there are two things I'm most worried about right now. Although I'm reluctant to give up power and I feel regretful, I know what to do."

"That's right. I'm worried about Chen Jingcheng's physical condition. Even if there are no physical problems, his mental state needs to be closely monitored."

"Besides this, there is another important matter to consider."

"That's Chen Jingcheng's adoptive parents' side."

"After Chen Jingcheng and his father are reunited, elder brother, do you think Comrade Min'en's family will be happy that Chen Jingcheng has such a good relationship with his adoptive parents' family?"

"Of course I believe the Chen family will be grateful to Chen Jingcheng's adoptive parents. After all, without them, it's hard to say whether Chen Jingcheng would still be alive. But I'm afraid they might feel a little uncomfortable, especially the relatives of Chen Jingcheng's adoptive parents, who have treated Chen Jingcheng extremely badly."

When Li Zhixing was about to continue speaking, Li Zhiyuan gently shook his head and waved his hand, signaling him to stop.

"Zhiyuan, you're overthinking it."

"Also, these are things we shouldn't be worrying about."

"You and I should know what kind of person Comrade Min'en is and what kind of person Elder Chen is. They will only be grateful and will not feel dissatisfied because of this."

"Even if there are any objections later, that's not something you or I need to worry about."

"Besides, what can we do?"

That's true. Neither Li Zhiyuan nor Li Zhixing dares to be enemies with the Chen family.

Li Zhixing's face showed a hint of bitterness as he said, "Big brother, it's not that I want to interfere, but Kunkun still thinks that the people in the hospital are Chen Jingcheng's adoptive parents, and they take good care of him there. I'm afraid that Chen Jingcheng's biological parents will feel uncomfortable when they see this, and that will affect Kunkun."

"If Kunkun doesn't marry Chen Jingcheng, that's fine. But if she does end up with Chen Jingcheng and falls in love with him, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble."

As parents, they naturally worry about their children, and Li Zhixing's considerations are not without reason.

After a moment of silence, Li Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's trust Comrade Min'en and the others. Also, don't try to stop Kunkun from doing anything. You know Kunkun's temperament and personality. If she really wants to do something, stopping her will only have the opposite effect."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Li Zhixing didn't say anything more at this moment.

At this very moment, the Oasis City Discipline Inspection Commission is conducting an independent interrogation.

Chen Jingcheng has been in this tiny room, where you can't even stick your fist out of the window, for six days.

After being brought here by the Linchuan County Discipline Inspection Commission, he has been staying here, under constant surveillance 24 hours a day. The intense interrogation has left him somewhat mentally disoriented.

Sitting in front of Chen Jingcheng at this moment was none other than Wang Liye from the Linchuan County Discipline Inspection Commission.

As someone familiar with the situation, Wang Liye was assigned to Chen Jingcheng's case and interrogated Chen Jingcheng together with staff from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Seeing Chen Jingcheng's pale face and somewhat unsteady appearance, Wang Liye sighed and said, "Chen Jingcheng, aren't you going to confess honestly?"

"You've been locked up here for a week already. Do you think we'll let you out until you give a clear explanation?"

"Confess everything you know about Li Feitu's illegal and criminal activities. Once you do, you can leave this place."

Chen Jingcheng trembled slightly as he looked up at Wang Liye, his eyes filled with barely suppressed rage.

"What do you want me to explain?"

"Since I started working, I've written a report for you almost every day. Isn't that clear enough?"

"Wasn't that clear enough?"

"I am innocent, and County Magistrate Li Feitu is innocent too. What exactly do you want me to explain?"

"Wang Liye, I'll tell you one more time: County Magistrate Li Feitu and I are innocent. The evidence is in your hands, yet you still refuse to clear my name. What exactly are you trying to do?!"

"Don't forget your identities. How can you do this to live up to your roles as discipline inspection personnel and the oaths you took when you started working?"

"I, Chen Jingcheng, am innocent!!!"

"It's you who should be sitting here, undergoing investigation!!!"
