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

"Chengfeng, your hand is bleeding."

When Chen Wan saw that Xiao Chengfeng's hand had been cut by a knife, she rushed to him and started shouting.

"Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang, hurry and get the first-aid kit, Chengfeng has cut his hand."

At Chen Wan's call, a woman around fifty years old immediately responded and ran over to get a first-aid kit to treat Xiao Chengfeng's wounds.

After the wound was treated and Sister Zhang left, Chen Wan continued to speak.

"Chengfeng, you must be feeling a little unwell, which is why you accidentally cut your hand."

"It's okay, don't overthink it. You're about to be promoted to deputy director level, while Chen Jingcheng is only deputy section chief level. Besides, you're almost seven years older than him."

"He hasn't appeared in the Chen family for over twenty years. But you, even in terms of age, are the eldest brother of the third generation of the Chen family. Everyone calls you Big Brother. You don't need to think too much about it. In short, Mom will help you."

"Even if Chen Jingcheng has acknowledged his ancestry and returned to the family, it's not something he can simply take on as the third generation of the Chen family. The Chen family has never chosen its successors based on that; they rely more on ability."

"The reason your eldest uncle has become a leading figure in the Chen family is not because he is your maternal grandfather's eldest son, his biological son, but because he has the ability and the achievements. Do you understand?"

Xiao Chengfeng certainly knew a lot about the Chen family.

He wasn't actually too worried right now; he just felt a slight sense of threat.

After all, the current leading figure of the Chen family is none other than Chen Min'en, his maternal uncle, who is also Chen Jingcheng's biological father. The 23-year gap makes people not know much about Chen Jingcheng, but Chen Min'en probably feels even more guilty.

"Mom, I was just a little distracted for a moment. Don't worry, I'm fine."

"I'm so happy that my uncle has found his biological son. It doesn't matter if I'm not the third-generation successor of the Chen family."

"I'm capable of it myself, so don't worry."

Seeing that Chen Wan still wanted to speak, Xiao Chengfeng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Mom, don't you think your worries are a bit premature?"

"My cousin's name is Chen Jingcheng, right?"

"Hehe, he's only twenty-three years old and just started working. Whether he's a promising talent or not remains to be seen."

"Moreover, he hasn't lived with his maternal uncle for twenty-three years, but only in a small county town. He doesn't know anything about the relatives on the Chen family side, the situation in Yanjing, or even about social customs and such. It will take him a long time to catch up on this."

"Alright, Mom, let's not talk about this anymore. You must not show this worried attitude in front of Grandpa and Uncle, especially Aunt. She's been frighteningly cold all these years and doesn't give anyone face. If she finds out that you're unhappy about the son she finally found, she'll definitely be angry."

Upon hearing Xiao Chengfeng mention that Chen Jingcheng's biological mother would be unhappy, Chen Wan's expression changed.

She was quite afraid of her younger brother's wife.

In fact, there are many people who are more afraid of Chen Min'en's wife than of Chen Min'en himself.

It's not just because she becomes ruthless and disregards everyone's feelings when she's angry; it's also because she herself is extremely powerful, and her maternal family is very influential. Her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law all dote on her, their only daughter, so very few people dare to point fingers at her.

"This Ye Qingru, who was so gentle and good-tempered back then, how did she become such a cold person now? Son, you know what, I really don't want to mess with a woman like her who can smash a wine bottle at some big shots' banquets."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengfeng nodded in deep agreement.

"That's right, Auntie is a person you should avoid if you can't afford to mess with her."

"Don't tell me you don't believe that my aunt has become like this. Even I, if I hadn't seen my gentle and kind aunt with my own eyes when I was a child, wouldn't believe that she ever had this side to her."

"Of course, my aunt is quite nice now. As long as you don't provoke her or violate her taboos, she won't cause trouble for others. Whether it's family or other people, she will do her best to help if needed."

"Mom, Aunt and Uncle have been searching for their biological son for so many years. Even if you have any thoughts, don't show them. Besides, you know that Chen Jingcheng is only twenty-three years old. Nobody knows what the future holds."

"Let's see how it goes."

"The identity of Chen Min'en and Ye Qingru's son is not something that everyone can handle. I'm afraid he won't be able to suppress this fate."

After chatting with Xiao Chengfeng for a while, Chen Wan's worries lessened considerably.

After feeling a bit better, Chen Wan went to rest and go to sleep.

Xiao Chengfeng kept smiling, but a complex look flashed in his eyes.

"Chen Jingcheng, you've really put me in a difficult position."

"I don't want to miss out on the Chen family's resources, and I don't want to end up like my father, with nothing more than this for my entire life!"

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng was unaware that even before he arrived in Yanjing, those in Yanjing who knew the details had already experienced a great deal of psychological turmoil because of his appearance. As for whether it would have any negative impact on him, Chen Jingcheng couldn't think of it or knew for sure.

But as time goes by...

The next morning, Chen Jingcheng went to the hospital to send Chen Dachuan and his wife onto the ambulance for transfer to another hospital. He then got into the car immediately, and the destination of the vehicle was Linchuan County!

It has been ten days since I was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission in the Linchuan County Party Committee compound and was personally humiliated by Sun Yikun.

Ten days is neither a long nor a short time.

But these ten days changed Chen Jingcheng's life and the lives of many, many other people.

In Oasis City, less than a month later, another city-wide meeting of leading cadres was held.

Sun Yikun, the former Party Secretary of the city, has been taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation. The former Standing Committee member and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Oasis City Party Committee also missed this city-wide meeting of leading cadres.

However, everyone who attended this city-wide meeting of leading cadres felt that the scale of the meeting was exceptionally high.

Because the person who came to see Li Zhixing off to his new post was not any of the deputy ministers of the provincial party committee's organization department, but rather the provincial party committee standing committee member and organization minister himself.

At the same time that the Linjiang Provincial Party and Government Delegation was inspecting Qingjiang Province, instead of accompanying the leaders of Linjiang Province, they sent a municipal party secretary to take office. This in itself is a statement of attitude.

The provincial party committee's stance!

At that moment, Zhao Mingyuan, the secretary of the Linchuan County Party Committee, sitting below the stage, looked at Li Zhixing, who was sitting on the dais with high spirits, and felt as if someone was grabbing his neck, making it hard for him to breathe.
