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

"Deputy Secretary-General Li!"

"Please watch your words!"

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't have acted like this in front of Deputy Secretary Lu today. I know your Li family has powerful connections, but do you think it's appropriate for you to humiliate a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection in front of so many people?"

"I ask you, Li Zhixing, by what status and under what pretext are you humiliating me like this?"

"Are you a family member of Chen Jingcheng?"

"No, you're not. Then what gives you the right to humiliate me like this? You're not a leader of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, nor are you a leader of my Oasis City. You're just the Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference. Since when has the Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference had the power to manage the work of my Oasis City Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

Secretary Qiao couldn't hold back any longer, so he directly confronted Li Zhixing.

Although he strongly suspected that the Li family had made a comeback, even so, Li Zhixing shouldn't have treated him like this.

Upon hearing Secretary Qiao's words, Lu Ming, the executive deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, immediately frowned and said in a deep voice, "Secretary Qiao, watch your attitude!"

"Your Oasis City Discipline Inspection Commission made a mistake, are you not allowed to speak out?"

"Don't tell me you bear no responsibility. As the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Oasis City, this is your responsibility!"

Secretary Qiao dared to speak to Li Zhixing like that, but he wouldn't dare to do the same to Lu Ming. Of course, this was also because Lu Ming never insulted him like Li Zhixing did; in his view, this was an insult.

He served as the secretary of the municipal discipline inspection commission in Oasis City for more than two years. To put it bluntly, no one dared to speak to him like that.

Looking at Lu Ming, Secretary Qiao said in a deep voice, "Secretary Lu, I admit it's my responsibility, but Deputy Secretary-General Li Zhixing is going too far in bullying us."

"To insult someone so indiscriminately, it's fortunate he left his position as municipal party secretary, and it's fortunate he didn't come to our Oasis to serve as municipal party secretary; otherwise, would the officials in Oasis have any chance of survival?"

Lu Ming's expression grew increasingly grim.

At this moment, the anger in Li Zhixing's eyes seemed to have disappeared, but his eyes grew colder and colder.

Looking at Secretary Qiao, Li Zhixing sneered, "Is that so?"

"You're really quick-witted. Do you really think you can get away with this? Do you really think you're innocent?"

"You're glad I didn't become the Party Secretary of Oasis City, aren't you?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

Everyone present was stunned when they heard Li Zhixing's words.

Disappointed?

Li Zhixing did not become the Party Secretary of Oasis City, and only then did Secretary Qiao agree. However, Li Zhixing said that this matter would disappoint Secretary Qiao.

What does that mean?

Even Chen Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Zhixing, who had even scolded Secretary Qiao of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection in order to stand up for him.

Helping yourself, and helping yourself this much?

If you didn't know better, you'd think you weren't Chen Jingcheng, but Li Feitu.

That being said, if it were Li Feitu, not him, who was detained, tortured, and vomiting blood here today, then Li Zhixing's actions would be understandable.

The problem is, I'm not Li Feitu, I'm just Chen Jingcheng.

What happened?

It seems that an unexpected event, one that I was unaware of and dared not even imagine, has indeed occurred.

Li Zhixing glanced indifferently at Secretary Qiao, then looked at Secretary Lu Ming and said, "Secretary Lu, you know that the Provincial Party Committee convened a Standing Committee meeting tonight."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming nodded. Others might not know about this, but as the executive deputy secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, he certainly did.

Although he did not attend the meeting, he was personally ordered by the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to bring people to Oasis for a thorough investigation before the Standing Committee meeting was held, and was asked to stay in Oasis and wait for further orders.

Moreover, he knew that this was not only an order from the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but also an order personally given by Secretary An.

That's why he knew what to do and how serious the matter was.

Upon hearing Li Zhixing mention this matter, and recalling the unusual circumstances of this situation, Deputy Secretary Lu Ming suddenly had a premonition.

"Secretary Li, I know about the provincial government convening a standing committee meeting overnight."

At this moment, Secretary Lu Ming's attitude towards Li Zhixing was three points more gentle than before!

Li Zhixing nodded, then took out his phone and said in a deep voice, "The Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee meeting lasted for more than two hours."

"Just before I entered the detention center, I received a call from the provincial leaders. The Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee decided that Sun Yikun was suspected of serious violations of laws and regulations and had been removed from his post as Secretary of the Oasis City Party Committee."

"And I will serve as the Party Secretary of Oasis City."

"Of course, the provincial party committee's document won't be issued until after dawn, and I am indeed not yet the party secretary of Oasis City. However, Secretary Lu, I came to Oasis this time with Secretary An's permission. May I ask, do I have the qualifications and authority to question the Oasis City Discipline Inspection Commission?"

Li Zhixing's words surprised everyone present.

At the same time, the most unexpected and frightening thing was Secretary Qiao.

He never expected that things would turn out so quickly.

The Sun family, who were clearly in control of the game, suddenly suffered a crushing defeat.

Sun Yikun had barely settled into his position as municipal party secretary when he was dismissed overnight by the provincial party committee standing committee. Furthermore, he was directly labeled as having committed serious violations of laws and regulations. What does this mean? It means there is no room for leniency. The provincial party committee is not only removing Sun Yikun from his current position, but also conducting a thorough investigation and punishment of him.

Sun Lianqi is still in his position, and Deputy Secretary Wu is still in his position, so how did things suddenly turn out like this?

This was something Secretary Qiao hadn't expected, but it happened just like that.

What made Secretary Qiao feel most desperate was that Li Zhixing was actually going to come to Oasis City to serve as the Party Secretary. At this moment, what he hated most was that he had not been able to hold back his temper just now. The Provincial Party Committee had even dealt with Sun Yikun. How could he, as the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, escape the consequences?

Even if he is not dismissed from his post and is not punished, he has offended the incoming municipal party secretary. How can he continue to serve as the secretary of the discipline inspection commission?

Moreover, what did Li Zhixing just say?

Did Secretary An grant Li Zhixing permission to visit Chen Jingcheng at the Oasis?

Secretary An?

Save one?

What a joke!

Chen Jingcheng, you've got connections to the highest levels!

In Qingjiang Province, Secretary An personally intervened, which is practically equivalent to having connections to the highest levels of government.

At this moment, Secretary Lu Ming was thinking more deeply, so his attitude towards Li Zhixing became even more amiable.

"Regardless of Secretary Li's position, he has the right to question. If the Discipline Inspection Commission makes a mistake while handling a case, and cannot even accept being questioned, what kind of person is he? Does he have a guilty conscience?"

"Secretary Li, does the Provincial Party Committee have any further instructions?"

Li Zhixing shook his head and said, "Secretary Lu, I don't know what instructions the Provincial Party Committee has. You can wait in Oasis City for a while; perhaps the instructions will come down soon."

"As for me, I won't stay here any longer. I'm taking Comrade Jingcheng away."

After saying that, Li Zhixing didn't even glance at Secretary Qiao, who was looking somewhat lost and pale at that moment. Instead, he looked at Chen Jingcheng and smiled, "Jingcheng, come on, I'll take you away."

"However, let's change our clothes first; these clothes are indeed a bit dirty."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng did not refuse again. He nodded, changed into clean clothes, and then got into the car with Li Zhixing.

After getting into the car, Chen Jingcheng looked at Li Zhixing with gratitude.

"Secretary Li, thank you for coming to my rescue."

"Could you please send me back to Lincheng as soon as possible? It seems something has happened to my parents, and I want to go and be with them."

Upon hearing Chen Jingcheng's gratitude, Li Zhixing gave a wry smile.

He had no right to save Chen Jingcheng, nor did he have any right to alarm the Provincial Party Committee to convene a special Standing Committee meeting. It shouldn't be Chen Jingcheng thanking him, but rather him thanking Chen Jingcheng.

Without Chen Jingcheng, none of this would have happened, and they would never have been able to turn things around!
