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

Upon hearing these words, Chen Jingcheng's lips curled into a cold smile.

Then, he closed the door.

After closing the door, he heard Chen Dashan berate his wife and even heard the sound of him hitting her.

Cries, complaints, and angry curses all mingled together.

However, Chen Jingcheng had already stopped paying attention to it.

He wouldn't deliberately target Chen Dashan; he wasn't lying. However, he also said that if Chen Dashan were to be found to have committed any illegal or criminal acts, it would be none of his business.

Now it seems that no one else needs to intervene; trouble will break out in Chen Dashan's own home.

Sitting back on the sofa, Chen Jingcheng poured himself a glass of water and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

The Chen family is indeed a problem.

How could Chen Jingcheng forget his cheap grandmother and those snobbish clansmen? He had kindly helped them before, and now he didn't regret what he had done. However, after he fell into trouble, before the results were even out, he was instigated to have his parents removed from the family genealogy and threatened to make them kneel in the ancestral hall to atone for their sins.

They even said that even if their own mother were paralyzed, they would carry her over to their ancestral hall to kneel. What a cruel heart, what a cruel display of kinship!

Chen Jingcheng had made his decision. Regardless of what Chen Dachuan thought, this time, he was going to completely sever ties with the Chen family. The Chen family ancestral hall was going to hold its completion celebration in the next few days, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Would anyone dare to invite him?

He was quite looking forward to seeing if they dared to come.

If they dare to come, Chen Jingcheng dares to go!

Subsequently, Chen Jingcheng called his parents, who had already arrived at Yanjing Hospital. The latest news he received was that he had undergone a comprehensive consultation with the hospital's experts and had been settled in a private luxury suite with professional caregivers and staff, and there was more than one of them.

Chen Dachuan and the others will not experience any hardship, and there will be no problem even if they are not accompanied.

More than two weeks later, depending on my physical condition, I will decide whether to have surgery.

In short, everything is progressing in a positive direction, which is the only thing that puts Chen Jingcheng at ease.

Now, if Chen Jingcheng still has anything on his mind, it is probably his biological mother who has been saddened for more than 20 years because of him.

He had never met his biological mother, but based solely on what others said about her suffering for him for so many years, he knew what kind of person she was.

Of course, everyone has multiple facets. Chen Jingcheng doesn't know how his mother is seen in the eyes of others, nor does he need to know. He only needs to know that his biological mother has suffered all these years, and that's enough.

Thinking of Chen Min'en's constant late-night work and his concern for the country and its people, Chen Jingcheng sighed softly, took out his phone, and ultimately did not make a call, but instead sent a text message.

The message was very simple, consisting of only one sentence.

"My parents have arrived at Yanjing Hospital. Thank you for taking care of them. Please get some rest and take care of yourself."

He didn't call out "Dad" in that one sentence, but the concern he expressed brought tears to Chen Min'en's eyes when he saw the message.

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

But while some are happy, others are always sad.

The document, personally signed by Chen Jingcheng, was sent back to various townships and units overnight. Many people, including leaders of Linchuan County, saw the document.

Even those who haven't seen the document yet already know that Li Feitu has been reinstated and is now in charge of both party and government affairs!

At this very moment, at the home of Liu Qing, the deputy director of the county hospital and Chen Jingcheng's ex-girlfriend, and her husband Wang Fushan, they were having a meal at the dining table. Both of them had furrowed brows and did not look happy at all.

Especially Liu Qing, whose eyes were somewhat confused, as if her mind was full of fog and she could not find the answers, or as if she had experienced many things that she felt should never have happened.

"Tomiyama, you already know, don't you?"

Liu Qing gritted his teeth, picked up a bottle of baijiu, and said in a deep voice, "Let's have a drink."

"I'd like a drink!"

The last sentence was spoken with great determination, as if he were making some kind of resolution.

After a moment of silence, Wang Fushan watched Liu Qing open the wine bottle, sighed, and said, "I already know about Li Feitu's reinstatement. Therefore, the investigation into public officials drinking alcohol during workdays will not only continue, but it will likely be even stricter than before."

"If before, there was still Zhao Mingyuan, the county party secretary, vying for power with Li Feitu, and Li Feitu could only act with restraint in many matters, then now Li Feitu is like a man freed from his shackles. Whatever he wants to do, no one in Linchuan County can stop him."

"Liu Qing, let's skip the drinking."

Wang Fushan can drink alcohol; he's not a public official, he owns a pharmaceutical company.

But in reality, can a pharmaceutical company completely sever ties with a hospital?

Liu Qing glanced at Wang Fushan and gently shook her head.

"I took the day off this afternoon after hearing the news this morning, and I'm not going to work tomorrow either, so drinking is no problem for me."

"Have a drink, Toyama. I'm suddenly feeling a bit lost, a bit confused, like I don't know what's wrong with this world."

"Everything was fine, we didn't do anything wrong, so how did it all turn out to be wrong?"

He was truly confused. Wang Fushan didn't say much, but took a glass, poured himself a glass of baijiu, and started drinking with Liu Qing.

"Liu Qing, don't think too much about it. At worst, you can just quit."

"You're not young anymore, and it seems your chances of getting the dean position are slim."

"Since that's the case, why not just quit my job? It'll save me from living in fear. I've made quite a bit of money over the years, and quitting won't affect our family's quality of life. So, I might as well enjoy life from now on."

"If I don't block other people's way, don't try to take their power, retire safely, or even resign, I think there shouldn't be any problems."

Can Liu Qing resign?

Both she and Wang Fushan knew that it was possible, no problem, but they needed to smooth things over with everyone. After all, sitting in this position and with Wang Fushan running a pharmaceutical company, it would be a lie to say there were no violations or disciplinary issues.

Therefore, Liu Qing not only did not want to resign, but also wanted to climb the ranks.

Looking back now, it's unrealistic.

Liu Qing gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Resigning won't solve the problem."

"Tomiyama, I regret it. I really regret it."

"Tell me, why did I refuse Chen Jingcheng's father when he came to our door?"

"The aid policy is right in my hands. Helping his wife with surgery is just a matter of signing a document."

"Even if we don't sign, our family isn't short of tens of thousands of yuan. Even just for the sake of Chen Jingcheng and Yueyue being classmates for so many years, I should still help out."

"Tell me, how could I have been so bewitched as to reject him!"

At this moment, Liu Qing felt remorse and wanted to slap himself a few times. He wasn't just refusing the plea for help from a desperate person; he was refusing his own peaceful and stable future!
