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

Yang Ruirui was indeed very angry. Her feelings towards Chen Jingcheng were already somewhat complicated, and hearing someone humiliate Chen Jingcheng like this made her furious.

However, Yang Ruirui's anger was completely insignificant to Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang; in fact, they found it quite amusing.

Chen Jinghan teased, "Hey, Jingcheng, not bad, this beauty is really protective of you."

"Tell me, how did you manage to win that young girl's heart?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Director Chen?"

"Hehe, when did you become Director Chen? How come I didn't know?"

"You think you can fool a young girl like this?"

In Chen Jinghan's current perception, Chen Jingcheng is still that ordinary staff member who has just started working, who can't go back to the county town for ten days or half a month, and who works day and night in the township.

Therefore, in his view, all this talk about Director Chen was nothing more than Chen Jingcheng deceiving the young girl who was naive.

"Young lady, I think you're pretty and have a good figure. Don't be fooled by my cousin. He's not some director; he's just an ordinary staff member working in a rural town."

"I can't give you any benefits, and I can't help you with anything."

"If you're really short on money or need something done, how about we become friends? I guarantee you'll be satisfied, what do you say?"

Chen Jinghan smiled and looked Yang Ruirui up and down, his eyes beginning to leer.

At this moment, Boss Wang also said with a smile, "What's the little girl's name? Boss Chen didn't lie to you. Putting aside everything else, just take this hot pot restaurant for example. Boss Chen has shares in it, and moreover, Boss Chen's family has owned this kind of restaurant more than once."

"Also, this Chen Jingcheng isn't some Director Chen. If you really want to find an official, there's a deputy director with real power in my private room, and also the son of some leader."

"How about it, pretty girl? Want to grab a couple of drinks? Don't worry, I promise you won't be disappointed."

Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang exchanged barbs, their conversation filled with disdain for Chen Jingcheng and a longing for Yang Ruirui.

It must be said that Yang Ruirui is indeed very beautiful and attractive.

However, at this moment, Yang Ruirui felt extremely disgusted looking at Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang.

His eyes were filled with nothing but disgust, as if he had seen something utterly repulsive.

Yang Ruirui suddenly looked at Chen Jingcheng, as if to tell him that he was about to lose his temper.

Chen Jingcheng gently patted Yang Ruirui's shoulder and said with a smile, "If a person is bitten by a dog, they don't have to bite back."

"Because we naturally have our own ways of dealing with dogs that bite."

Chen Jingcheng's words directly treated Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang like dogs.

Yang Ruirui immediately smiled. Her initial anger subsided after seeing Chen Jingcheng's calm and composed expression.

Yeah, let Chen Jingcheng and his gang be arrogant. How long can they be arrogant?

I'm afraid he won't be arrogant for even two minutes.

No, it didn't even take two minutes, because just then, as Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang were about to get angry because of Chen Jingcheng's words, the waiter walked over in a panic.

"Boss, look at those three people, what do they do?"

"They were carrying video cameras, wearing employee badges, and asking some people questions."

"After they came in, I saw that several tables had already paid their bills and left, even though they hadn't finished eating."

"Moreover, everyone else seemed restless as well."

Upon hearing the waiter's words, Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang were stunned for a moment, and then they saw Gao Xiaoshuai and his team checking on public officials for drinking.

At this, Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang's expressions changed instantly. They had been saying that the strict ban on drinking alcohol would have a big impact on their catering business, but they didn't think there would be any problems. But now, the problem had arisen immediately.

If they've found out about them, who would dare to eat at their restaurant after that?

Business was already worse than before today, and if word gets out, it will probably only get worse in the future.

This is all money, pure and simple money! Rent, utilities, labor, ingredients—each one costs a fortune.

Of course, the most important thing right now is that there are still three people sitting in the private room, including Deputy Director Lin from the Housing and Construction Bureau.

They were already reluctant to drink, and if they were caught, regardless of whether it could be resolved, they were afraid that Deputy Director Lin and the others would blame them.

"Damn it, how did they find our way here?"

"Old Chen, let's find a way to get them to leave, otherwise it will have a huge impact on our business."

"Especially since Deputy Director Lin and the others are still in the private room, they can't be affected in any way."

At this moment, Chen Jinghan's face no longer held the smugness he had shown when he was targeting Chen Jingcheng. Instead, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was one of worry and displeasure.

Chen Jinghan glared at Chen Jingcheng and gritted his teeth, saying, "Chen Jingcheng, get out of here right now! You're not welcome here. I'm telling you, I'll let you off the hook for now, but if you dare to speak rudely again, I'll make sure you pay!"

After saying that, Chen Jingcheng and Boss Wang greeted Gao Xiaoshuai and the other two from the Supervision Office with smiles on their faces.

Chen Jingcheng looked at Yang Ruirui and said with a smile, "Yang Ruirui, since they don't take us seriously, let's not say anything more and just watch the show."

"Come on, here are two chairs, let's sit down and take our time."

At this moment, Yang Ruirui also felt a sense of exhilaration. It wasn't that she looked down on them, but that they still wanted to tease her.

Instead, he went to curry favor with the inspection team.

But Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang never imagined that the person in charge here today would be none other than Chen Jingcheng.

She wanted to see how good Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang's expressions would be when they found out about this.

"Hmph, Director Chen, I really want to see how quickly their expressions will change after they know the truth and your identity."

Chen Jingcheng smiled but didn't say anything.

At this moment, Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang had already walked up to Gao Xiaoshuai and the other two.

"Hello, sirs. Um, are you here for a meal?"

"The lobby is a bit too messy. How about I arrange a room for the leaders? Don't worry, all the food and drinks are on us. What do you say?"

Boss Wang walked up to Gao Xiaoshuai and his group, offering them cigarettes and saying nice things.

However, Gao Xiaoshuai and his group knew very well that, not only would they not accept favors from them normally, but even if they accepted favors from other people, they would never accept favors from people in this place.

Chen Jingcheng, while in the car, recounted the grievances he had suffered at the restaurant.

They even bluntly stated that coming here to investigate was both an official matter and a private matter!

Especially just now, when they were inspecting the area, they noticed the situation at the bar. They saw how Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang spoke rudely to Chen Jingcheng.

If Chen Jingcheng hadn't secretly signaled them not to come over and do their own thing, they would have already gone over to help Chen Jingcheng vent his anger.

Of course, it's not too late now!
