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

"County Chief, I'm fine, I'm not tired."

"What happened today made me realize even more how right it was for you to make this choice."

"The official atmosphere in Linchuan County really needs a thorough change."

Indeed, no one would believe what Chen Jingcheng experienced today, but it is the truth.

Of course, the reason he was in this situation was not because others really wanted to punish him; the one who ultimately wanted to punish him was County Magistrate Li Feitu.

Chen Jingcheng was merely a supporting character, a catalyst.

But regardless of whether it was the trigger or whether he was implicated, today made Chen Jingcheng realize that the officialdom can be far more treacherous than many people imagine.

"County Chief, I have already looked into Yang Gen's situation, and Yang Ruirui and the others have also conducted a detailed investigation."

"Yang Gen does meet the requirements for receiving subsistence allowance, but he has not been granted it for so many years because of the village chief Yang Gui's deliberate obstruction due to his personal grudges."

At this point, Chen Jingcheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "County Chief, I think we should pay attention to the issue of minimum living allowances. If possible in the future, we should conduct a large-scale, precise survey."

"Yang Gen's situation is not an isolated case. People who should be receiving subsistence allowances are not receiving them, while people who shouldn't be receiving them are. This situation is quite common, though perhaps not many. Maybe some villages deliberately added names for poverty alleviation subsidies, but whatever the reason, it should be re-examined."

"Being defrauded of social security funds is not a small problem, but the fact that those who are entitled to social security benefits and are protected by the policy cannot receive them is an even bigger problem."

Chen Jingcheng has only been in his position as deputy director of the government office at the deputy section chief level for less than two days, but he has already started to consider this issue.

Of course, if a deputy in some unrelated unit were to say these things, others might feel that it deviates from their job duties.

But Chen Jingcheng's words are reasonable and justified.

The deputy director of the government office is responsible for serving the county leaders and coordinating various departments. Chen Jingcheng is also the secretary of the county magistrate, who oversees all affairs of the county government. Therefore, it is reasonable for Chen Jingcheng to offer suggestions and advice.

Li Feitu looked at Chen Jingcheng and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Jingcheng, you've thought it through very well, and your considerations are very thorough."

"The issue of minimum subsistence allowance is a major problem. It cannot be denied that due to various historical factors, some people have enjoyed benefits they should not have, while some people who should have received the allowance have not received it."

"These are all problems, but conducting a precise verification across the entire county cannot be rushed, and it's not something that can be done in a short time. It involves not only coordinating with the relevant departments handling minimum living allowances, but also mobilizing all townships, villages, and communities. It's a very complex undertaking."

"First, we need to address the current problems with the officialdom. Once these issues are resolved, the officialdom in Linchuan County will change accordingly. At that point, it will be much easier to accomplish this task."

"Otherwise, as you know, let alone how to implement this policy, I'm afraid it won't even get past the county committee."

Li Feitu ultimately stood higher and saw further than Chen Jingcheng.

Therefore, he was well aware that this matter was not easy, nor simple, and could not be accomplished in just a few days.

There will even be considerable resistance.

Therefore, if we want to do this, we need to solve other problems first.

Chen Jingcheng naturally understood that having hope was better than having no hope at all.

At least, County Chief Li is willing to do it; he just needs to wait for the right opportunity.

"County Magistrate, I understand. Is there anything else you require?"

"If not, then it's about time. I'm going to take my men for a night patrol."

Seeing that Chen Jingcheng was determined to continue working and had no intention of resting, Li Feitu didn't say anything more.

However, as Chen Jingcheng stood up, Li Feitu patted him on the shoulder and said with a serious expression, "Jingcheng, there are some things I still need to say."

"Actually, it's nothing much, I just want to remind you of one thing."

"You can always trust me!"

"Similarly, no matter what others say, no matter how strong the evidence is, remember, as long as you speak, I will believe you!"

"Jingcheng, I hope there is enough trust between us. Whatever I do, it is for your own good. Similarly, I believe that you can also uphold your bottom line and ideals."

Promise me you won't let me down!

"Your future extends far beyond Linchuan County."

"For the vast majority of local cadres, Linchuan County is the place where they work their whole lives."

"But Linchuan County is too small for both of us."

"Oasis City is too small."

"Our ambitions should be even greater!"

Li Feitu had a heart-to-heart talk with Chen Jingcheng.

These are words that most people would never hear even if they wanted to.

Moreover, if someone else said this, they would be considered to be boasting.

Is Linchuan County small?

Actually, it's not that big. The vast majority of staff in Linchuan County will probably never leave Linchuan County in their lifetime and will have to work here for the rest of their lives.

And even if they manage to leave, can they really leave Oasis City?

How many are there?

However, when Li Feitu spoke, no one doubted him.

The provincial-level leader, a 35-year-old county head, is said to have a powerful background. Such a figure is indeed not someone that Linchuan County and Oasis City can stop.

Li Feitu's future is very promising.

However, Chen Jingcheng did not expect that Li Feitu would say that his future would not be limited to Linchuan County and Oasis City.

This made Chen Jingcheng wonder if Li Feitu was overestimating him, perhaps even excessively so.

However, whether Li Feitu's words were sincere or not, Chen Jingcheng was deeply moved at that moment.

In particular, no matter how much evidence others present, no matter how irrefutable the proof, as long as Chen Jingcheng says a word, Li Feitu will only believe Chen Jingcheng.

He was deeply moved by this trust.

I was really touched. You know, Li Feitu is the county magistrate. He didn't have to treat a subordinate like himself this way at all, but Li Feitu did it anyway.

But Chen Jingcheng wasn't stupid; he had previously felt that Li Feitu was being a little too nice to him.

This is strange.

They had only just met, so how could they have developed such a deep friendship and trust?

Now, I'm even more confused.

Something unusual must be going on. Chen Jingcheng couldn't believe that there was something he didn't know behind such preferential treatment and trust.

Therefore, Chen Jingcheng decided to find a time and an opportunity to ask Li Feitu why he treated him so differently.

What makes him, Chen Jingcheng, so special?
