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

Indeed, compared to the visit of the Linjiang Provincial Party and Government Delegation, the Li family's matter has already been resolved, and continuing it would not be of much significance.

The most important thing is to stand out and gain recognition in front of the leaders of the two provinces.

This concerns the future.

No, not even the future, but the prospects of the present.

Sun Yikun naturally understood the gravity of the situation, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm all ready."

"In the past few days, our Oasis City has held several special meetings to study and discuss the matter. We have finalized the route and made arrangements for all aspects. I dare not say how good it will be, but at least there will be no problems."

Upon hearing this, Sun Lianqi smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, I trust you to handle things."

"Remember, even if you don't seek merit, you absolutely cannot allow any problems to occur."

"This matter is of great importance."

"You know very well who Comrade Min'en is. When he first arrived in Linjiang Province to take charge of the work, he was the one who facilitated the exchange of party and government delegations."

"This matter must be done well and thoroughly."

"Yikun, my age is what it is, and even if I go any further, I can't make any more progress. But you, you're just over forty years old and you're already the Party Secretary of Oasis City, a position at the provincial level. If you can make an appearance this time and leave a good impression on the main leaders of the two provinces, it will be very helpful for your future."

"Especially with Comrade Min'en, you must perform well, but you can't be too deliberate. You need to find the right balance yourself."

"Secretary Zhou of Linjiang Province will either be promoted or retire in the next term. He has a very good relationship with the Chen family, so regardless of whether he is promoted or retires, Comrade Min'en will definitely succeed him."

"Our province's Secretary Anbang is also very close to the Chen family, and he has great respect for Old Master Chen. Back in Yanjing, Secretary Anbang was Comrade Min'en's superior, and the two worked together for several years. As for Comrade Min'en, needless to say, we can't even think about his future."

"Yikun, this may be the biggest opportunity you've had since you became a department-level cadre. You must perform exceptionally well."

"Perhaps Comrade Min'en is satisfied and will transfer you directly to work in Qingjiang Province. It's not impossible. I don't need to tell you how much it would help your future to work alongside Comrade Min'en."

Sun Yikun's eyes were shining brightly at that moment.

He seemed to have anticipated this day. Indeed, if he could work by Chen Min'en's side, it would mean entering Chen Min'en's circle. At that level, many things would come down to who had the final say.

If Chen Min'en's career truly continues to rise, Sun Yikun's future will naturally follow suit. Even if he still doesn't have the opportunity to reach the provincial level, the fact that he worked with Comrade Min'en is a valuable asset that will greatly benefit him and the Sun family.

"Uncle, don't worry, I know what to do."

Sun Lianqi nodded and said, "Alright, let's go to Deputy Secretary Wu's place."

Today is Sunday.

In fact, not only provincial leaders, but even the offices of the provincial party committee, the provincial government, and the people's congress and the CPPCC did not take a break.

Other major provincial and department leaders also didn't get much rest.

Because tomorrow is the day the party and government delegation arrives, they must be fully prepared.

If something goes wrong on the Qingjiang side when the Linjiang Provincial Party and Government delegation arrives, the shame would be directly presented to the leaders of both provinces, and the mess would be truly enormous.

Regardless of the potential impact, the main leaders of Qingjiang Province will certainly hold them accountable.

No one dares to take on this responsibility.

Meanwhile, at this moment, Li Zhiyuan was at home.

Li Zhixing and Li Zhiyuan sat in the living room drinking tea. Their expressions weren't too bad; in fact, they seemed somewhat expectant.

"Brother, Chen Jingcheng has been detained for seven days."

"They are deliberately stalling for time. Otherwise, the evidence provided by Fitto would have been enough to prove Chen Jingcheng's innocence, and he should have been released long ago."

"But now, not only are they not releasing him, they've intensified their interrogation. I've asked around and found out that Chen Jingcheng's situation isn't looking too good right now."

Li Zhixing frowned, worried about Chen Jingcheng's safety.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyuan's expression also turned sour. He said in a deep voice, "I have specifically spoken with Sun Yikun about Fei Tu and Chen Jingcheng's situation, and I have also spoken with Sun Lianqi about it, but judging from their attitude, they clearly do not intend to give up easily."

"Neither Fei Tu nor Chen Jingcheng could find any problems, but after all, these were people Sun Yikun directly ordered to investigate after taking office. If they were just let go so easily, Sun Yikun would lose face. That's why they're dragging their feet."

"It's alright. Fortunately, the delegation will be arriving tomorrow, and provincial leaders will be at the airport to greet them. I will find an opportunity to meet with Comrade Min'en alone."

"As long as Comrade Min'en knows who Chen Jingcheng is, Chen Jingcheng can be released."

"Now, my only concern is how Chen Jingcheng will react if he learns about his parents' ordeal after he gets out, and also whether the intense interrogation he has been subjected to by the Discipline Inspection Commission over the past seven days will have any impact on him."

"If this really causes extremely bad consequences, then it will be difficult to handle."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixing's face also showed worry.

This is indeed something that cannot be ignored.

But they have done everything they could.

"Brother, we have done what we should do. Chen Jingcheng is innocent, and the evidence is conclusive. They are deliberately holding him back. We have found the people we should have found, and we have raised the questions we should have raised."

"But they just won't release them, and there's nothing we can do."

"The fact that Chen Jingcheng is Comrade Min'en's son is a matter of great importance. Moreover, without the confirmation of genetic comparison, it is understandable that we dare not reveal his identity. I think Comrade Min'en will not blame us for this."

"As for Chen Jingcheng, I'm also very worried about his condition. But those things are manageable. It's his adoptive parents that might cause him to lose control of his emotions. After all, his adoptive parents have been very good to him, and they have a very deep bond with each other."

"But now, Chen Jingcheng's adoptive mother is almost paralyzed and is still in the hospital. Although we arranged for her to be admitted to a provincial hospital as soon as we found out, she has already undergone preliminary surgery in the county, which means she cannot have any more surgery for the time being. She can only recover slowly and wait for the right time to have surgery. Moreover, we cannot guarantee what the postoperative results will be."

"Chen Jingcheng, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept this."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyuan sighed and shook his head, saying, "There's nothing we can do about it. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's wait until Chen Jingcheng comes out and let him decide how to handle it."

"By the way, let's find some time today to go and visit Jingcheng's parents."

"Also, is Kunkun staying with you the whole time?"

Hearing this, Li Zhixing gave a wry smile, nodded, and said, "When I was sick and hospitalized, I didn't see this daughter caring so much. But now that Chen Jingcheng's adoptive parents are hospitalized, even though the hospital director and department head have been arranged to take care of them personally, and caregivers have been arranged, Kunkun still goes there every day, showing concern and care. If you didn't know better, you would think she was already married."

Li Zhiyuan laughed upon hearing this.

"A daughter is like a bird that cannot stay at home forever; if you try to keep her here, she will only become an enemy."

"It's just that we don't know what Chen Jingcheng means yet, but in any case, it's not a bad thing. It's good that Kunkun is there to take care of her."

"I think you should start preparing a dowry for your child in advance."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixing did not show any particular joy on his face; instead, he appeared somewhat melancholy.

"Big brother, it's too early to talk about these things now. I heard from Fei Tu that Kun Kun and Chen Jingcheng's relationship is progressing rapidly, but they haven't officially become a couple yet."

"Now, Chen Jingcheng is about to be recognized as a member of his clan. I don't know if Chen Jingcheng has changed, but do you think there will be any resistance from Comrade Min'en's side?"

"After all, Chen Jingcheng is Comrade Min'en's own son, that is, the eldest son and grandson of the Chen family. His status and position are not comparable to those of ordinary members of the Chen family. I'm afraid that the final result may not be satisfactory."
