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

Beijing is a place that many people within the system dream of. Working in Beijing is equivalent to entering the innermost circle. Even if you are just a minor official, your status and treatment when you return to your hometown will be completely different, and the level of contact and vision you have will be extraordinary.

Chen Jingcheng didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Chen Min'en, waiting for Chen Min'en's next explanation.

Chen Min'en smiled and continued, "Our Chen family is based in Yanjing. Your grandfather, your mother, and other relatives are all in Yanjing."

"Yanjing is also where I have worked for many years. Many of my former leaders and colleagues are in Yanjing. In Yanjing, in addition to learning and seeing a lot, it is also easier for you to integrate into the family as quickly as possible."

"Actually, it was also my own selfish desire to let you live closer to home and have more contact with others."

Chen Jingcheng could understand Chen Min'en's selfish motives; it's only human nature. It would be incomprehensible if he didn't think that way.

If Chen Min'en has the ability to do this, even if he is selfless and opens a back door for his son to transfer him, no one can find fault with it.

"If I go to Yanjing, where will I work?"

Chen Jingcheng didn't want to refuse directly; at least, he wanted Chen Min'en to finish speaking.

Chen Min'en said with a smile, "What do you think, Political Office?"

"Of course, the General Office of the Central Committee is also an option."

"In these two places, you can access the most core and highest-level information, and your horizons will become very broad."

"Of course, if you don't want to go to those two places, you can also tell me which other ministries you'd like to go to: the Organization Department of the Central Committee? The Publicity Department of the Central Committee? Or the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, or the Ministry of Finance?"

"It's okay, you can express your thoughts in front of me."

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng once again felt Chen Min'en's immense power and connections. This place he casually mentioned was a place that countless people would fight tooth and nail to get into.

To put it bluntly, even if someone is demoted from a section chief to a deputy section chief, or even from a deputy department head to a section chief, or even a deputy section chief, there will still be plenty of people scrambling to get in.

The people they contacted wielded power far exceeding that of those in local areas.

But Chen Jingcheng doesn't want to go now.

Yes, it's not that he doesn't want to go, but that he doesn't want to go. He also has to work in these places, but he wants to stay in Linchuan County now, so that he can at least gain more work experience.

Looking at Chen Min'en, Chen Jingcheng gently shook his head.

"I want to go to Yanjing, but not now."

"Compared to working in Beijing, I feel that since I've only been working for a short time, I should focus on doing my job well. If I can't even handle things properly in Linchuan County, what good would it do if I went to Beijing?"

"I don't want to just rely on your and the Chen family's power. I believe that even if I do nothing, as long as I don't make any big mistakes, you can still ensure my promotion. But that's not what I want."

"Besides, even if I were to rise high, I wouldn't reach very high!"

This one sentence actually reveals Chen Jingcheng's ambition.

He wants to reach very, very high places. He thought about it when he first learned about the importance of power, and now he only wants it more!

Chen Min'en, however, admired Chen Jingcheng and clapped his hands with a smile.

"Good, this is my son. If you really had no ideas or ambitions at all, that's not what I want to see."

"Since you're not going to Yanjing, let me tell you about my second option."

"If I go to Linjiang Province and work in the Provincial Party Committee Office, no one will know about our relationship, but I will be able to keep up with your situation and see you often."

"The Provincial Party Committee Office has a high level of contact, so you will know a lot about some policies and rules. At the same time, you will have more contact with grassroots news than you would with Yanjing."

"Do you think it's acceptable for you to retain your deputy section chief rank and go to the General Office of Linjiang Province?"

It's another place that everyone dreams of going to.

However, Chen Jingcheng still refused.

He will go, just as he will go to Yanjing, not now, but in the future.

Shaking his head slightly, Chen Jingcheng said, "I don't want to go to Linjiang Province either. To be honest with you, the places you mentioned are places I've always dreamed of. I believe that anyone who wants to improve wouldn't refuse, nor would they find a reason to refuse."

"If someone had told me before I knew you were my father that I could go to Yanjing and work in the provincial party committee office, I would have been so excited that I couldn't sleep, and I would have agreed immediately."

"But since you are my father, I think you can transfer me to these places whenever I want."

"Since that's the case, I've decided to postpone my trip and lay a solid foundation first. Then I'll go back based on my own abilities. Of course, I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid your influence. Whether I like it or not, at least Li Zhixing and Li Feitu know that I'm your son, and Secretary An of Qingjiang Province also knows that I'm your son."

"Even if I don't admit it or am unwilling, my future promotions and positions will be greatly changed because of this."

"Even with my efforts, I won't lack special treatment from them because of you."

"It's okay, I don't mind these things. On the contrary, I think it's a good thing. After all, many people would love to have such an opportunity, but for me, it might be readily available."

"Only when you are in a position and have power in your hands can you do what you want to do. Otherwise, you will be hindered at every turn and it will be difficult to carry out your work."

"I have no objection to any special treatment; it's simply a matter of ability and luck."

"You can understand me, right?"

Although Chen Jingcheng's words rejected Chen Min'en, Chen Min'en did not show any displeasure.

Looking at Chen Jingcheng, Chen Min'en remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Jingcheng, have you thought it through?"

"Are you sure you want to stay in Linchuan County to continue working?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng nodded slightly and said, "I've already made up my mind."

Seeing the determination in Chen Jingcheng's eyes, Chen Min'en said no more.

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, then do as you wish."

"Although staying in Linchuan County will reduce our chances of meeting, it's okay. I'm glad you have your own opinions."

"However, Jingcheng, we still need to go to Yanjing. I've already spoken to your grandfather about your situation, and he was very happy to hear about it."

He kept asking me when I would take you back to Yanjing.

"I didn't agree immediately because I wanted to ask for your opinion. I definitely want to go back, but waiting a few more days wouldn't hurt. After all, I can't let you go back alone, and I'm very busy these days."

Yes, we definitely have to go to Yanjing.

Now that he knows he is Chen Min'en's biological son, the question of whether he wants to enter the Chen family is no longer one of choice, but rather, he must enter.
