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

These words reminded Chen Jingcheng once again.

County Chief Li is very young, really young.

He just turned thirty-five this year. What does that mean?

Even if it's Linchuan County, which isn't a wealthy county, a 35-year-old county head at the level of a division chief is still a local tyrant.

A 35-year-old county head at the level of a division chief is a rare find, even in their city and province.

Youth is an asset, and the fact that he became the county magistrate at such a young age further suggests that Magistrate Li's background is anything but simple.

County Chief Li is young and has a long road ahead of him. As long as Chen Jingcheng serves County Chief Li well, it means that his future will also be very long and bright.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Jingcheng saw the golden road ahead. He had already stepped one foot onto this road. The only thing he needed to do now was to walk steadily and well on this golden road!

"Director Gao, I understand. I will definitely serve the county head well."

At this point, Chen Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, glancing at Gao Wentao, and said, "Director Gao, the county head is so young, and I heard he was transferred directly from the province. He doesn't have much grassroots work experience. Is there anything I should pay special attention to?"

"I think that by understanding more, I can better serve the county head and avoid making mistakes that might displease him."

To serve a leader well, especially as a secretary who is always by their side, it's not enough to just do your job well and write documents well; you also need to pay attention to the details of their personal life.

It is necessary to understand the leader's preferences, personality, and even their requirements for food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

Director Gao smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Not bad, you've already started to notice this at this point. Jing Cheng, I believe you can handle the job of a secretary."

"Don't worry, although County Chief Li is young and works in the province for many years, dealing with high-ranking officials, he is actually very approachable and not at all pretentious."

"At least, in the past month or so I've spent with County Chief Li, I've found him to be easier to get along with than many leaders who have been promoted from the grassroots level."

At this point, Director Gao paused for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "However, there is one thing I must remind you: although County Chief Li is young and easy to get along with and doesn't criticize people much, he has great ambitions and is extremely diligent in his work."

"In particular, County Chief Li is a man of great courage and decisiveness, one could say he is extremely courageous."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that County Chief Li hasn't done anything concrete yet, and it seems like Secretary Zhao is in charge of everything in the county. But this is because County Chief Li has just started working here, and it's also a sign of respect for Secretary Zhao, the leader."

"Jingcheng, remember, no matter what others say, you only need to understand that you are County Magistrate Li's secretary, and that's enough."

"I won't say much more, and it's not appropriate for me to say anything more. You'll understand slowly."

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the county magistrate."

Chen Jingcheng nodded, not daring to ask any further questions.

However, he could tell that Director Gao was hesitant to say more, and it was not appropriate for him to say more. For example, County Chief Li had just arrived and was getting familiar with the work, and at the same time, he was showing some respect for Secretary Zhao, the team leader, so he spoke these words with some hesitation.

It is proper for the county head to respect the secretary, but in addition to being the deputy secretary of the county party committee and being under the leadership of the county party secretary, the county head is also the head of the county government and the head of the county.

A county magistrate can treat the county party secretary as his class monitor or leader. However, if the county party secretary truly treats the county magistrate as his subordinate, arbitrarily reprimanding him, or even interfering in all his work and overturning all his decisions, then it depends on whether the county magistrate can tolerate it. If it is someone who cannot tolerate it or has a bad temper, then the county magistrate is not someone to be trifled with.

This is a fact, whether you acknowledge it or not. However, generally speaking, this situation rarely occurs, especially in recent years, as the leadership authority of the Party Secretary has been continuously strengthened, making it even rarer for major conflicts to arise between Party and government leaders.

Secretary Zhao, 53 years old, has worked in Linchuan County for eight years, serving as county head for five years and secretary for three years. It can be said that in the entire Linchuan County, whatever Secretary Zhao says goes, and no one can challenge Secretary Zhao's authority.

And the current principal leaders of the Party and government in various townships and units are almost all promoted by Secretary Zhao.

Anyone who wants to challenge Secretary Zhao's authority in Linchuan County will find it extremely difficult.

This is the specific situation of the officialdom in Linchuan County, which everyone knows and understands.

The arrival of County Chief Li was actually an unexpected event for many people, because according to Secretary Zhao's original plan, the successor to the county chief should have been Deputy Secretary Wang of the County Party Committee, whom he recommended. However, no one expected that a young man named Li Feitu would be parachuted in as County Chief Li.

On the surface, it may seem like nothing, but in reality, it is said that Secretary Zhao is very dissatisfied.

Chen Jingcheng had only heard these things secondhand, but the fact that he could hear them all showed that the officialdom in Linchuan County actually had a very low opinion of County Chief Li and believed that he did not have any authority.

Of course, Chen Jingcheng didn't know the specifics, but he did know that he would be facing all sorts of complicated situations together with County Chief Li.

We are all in this together, whether we prosper or suffer together. This is no joke.

After knocking and entering County Chief Li's office, Director Gao immediately said, "County Chief, Comrade Chen Jingcheng has been transferred to the Government Office and has come to report to you."

Li Feitu, the county magistrate, was thirty-five years old. He was sitting behind his desk reviewing documents when he saw Director Gao and Chen Jingcheng. He smiled and nodded, then pointed to the chairs in front of his desk and said, "Wentao, Jingcheng, come, sit down and let's talk."

He is very young, yet he doesn't seem to have the aloofness that comes with being in a high position at such a young age. Instead, he gives off a friendly and approachable vibe, like chatting with a friend.

But Chen Jingcheng knew that no matter how powerful County Chief Li's background was, someone who could become the head of a county at this age was definitely not a simple person.

The stronger the background and the richer the experience in the province, the more extraordinary the individual is.

At a glance, Chen Jingcheng could tell that the young county magistrate Li Feitu was not the pushover or mascot that others saw him as. He was someone with great ambitions and the courage to take action.

After carefully sitting down with Director Gao, Director Gao immediately introduced Chen Jingcheng.

Chen Jingcheng also introduced himself at the same time.

Li Feitu nodded, checked the time, and then took a document from the table and handed it to Gao Wentao.

"Director Wentao, this document still isn't detailed enough. I know the staff in the government office work very hard, but even if they work very hard, surely they should be able to spot the typos?"

"There are three typos in just two pages. Even I, who don't know much about Linchuan County's economic and industrial data, can spot the problems. Can't they see them?"

"Comrade Wentao, I know you've only recently been transferred to the government office, and I'm also a newcomer. But we still need to be serious and meticulous in our work."

"Go and tell the comrades that this kind of mistake cannot be made. It's not just a loss of face for them, but also for me and the government!"

"My reputation isn't important, but the government's reputation is crucial to the county government's credibility. Don't treat this as a trivial matter; it's a big deal. If a county government issues a document with incorrect data or even spelling errors, the people will laugh their heads off!"

County Chief Li was not angry; he simply smiled and handed the document to Director Gao.

However, both Director Gao and Chen Jingcheng understood that this represented County Chief Li's attitude and seriousness!

Director Gao took a deep breath, accepted the document, and said in a solemn voice, "County Head, rest assured, I will convene a meeting of all government office staff today. At the meeting, I will severely criticize the relevant personnel regarding this matter and set higher standards for all government office staff!"

County Chief Li nodded, waved his hand, and said, "You are the director of the government office, so you can make these decisions."

"Go ahead and revise the materials. As for Jingcheng, leave him with me for now. Since he's going to be my secretary, we should get to know each other and have a chat."

Upon hearing this, Gao Wentao immediately left County Chief Li's office, while Chen Jingcheng stayed behind to await County Chief Li's questioning.
