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

Liu Qing and Wang Fushan were both a little angry as they watched Wang Yueyue leave.

They meant well for Wang Yueyue, but in Wang Yueyue's mouth, they were portrayed as selfish and looking down on this and that.

Although this is the truth, they are Wang Yueyue's parents, and ultimately, they are thinking about Wang Yueyue's happiness.

While it's possible they have their own selfish motives, they wouldn't harm their own daughter.

Liu Qing gritted her teeth, slammed the wine glass down on the table, her face turning ashen with anger.

"This is outrageous, Fushan! What has become of Yueyue?"

"We're doing this for her own good, doesn't she know that?"

"Yes, I admit that we misjudged Chen Jingcheng, but the situation of Lin Zhongfei's family is already a foregone conclusion. His family is finished, Lin Zhongfei has lost his job, his money, and everything."

"This isn't as simple as bankruptcy or not; it's that Lin Zhongfei's family members have all been taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission for investigation, and their family will never recover."

"If Yueyue goes with him, not only will she have no future, but we will definitely be affected as well."

"No, absolutely not, I can't let this happen. I'm going to find her right now."

After saying that, Liu Qing stood up, wanting to go and find Wang Yueyue.

Seeing this, Wang Fushan quickly got up and stopped Liu Qing.

"Alright, everyone, calm down."

"After all, things happened too suddenly, and Yueyue has experienced quite a few changes in such a short period of time."

"Give her some time; she'll figure it out eventually."

At this point, Wang Fushan sighed and said, "In the end, we were also at fault. Otherwise, Yueyue wouldn't have been so disobedient."

"Back then, we chose to hinder her relationship with Chen Jingcheng. Now that I think about it, it seems like we were wrong. Actually, Chen Jingcheng is capable, responsible, and likes our Yueyue. Although he doesn't have much of a background, we are not short of money and have some connections. If we had just helped Chen Jingcheng back then, he could have avoided many years of struggle."

"It was us who were too greedy."

"Just as Yueyue said, we are selfish!"

At this moment, Wang Fushan chose to reflect.

Indeed, if a different choice had been made back then, everything would be different today.

However, there's no going back in this world; it's too late to say anything now.

Liu Qing was silent for a moment, looked at Wang Fushan, and said softly, "I know, but what's the use of saying all this now? What do we do?"

"There have already been a lot of personnel changes in Linchuan County. We're already on the edge of a cliff. Now Yueyue is determined to stay with Lin Zhongfei to prove that she's independent and can make her own choices. But what are we going to do?"

"We might have been able to avoid getting involved, but now that Yueyue and Lin Zhongfei are together, we're probably going to be under the disciplinary committee's watchful eye as well."

That's true.

With so many members of the Lin family being taken away for investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Commission will naturally conduct a full investigation, so Lin Zhongfei's girlfriend certainly won't escape either.

As Wang Yueyue's parents, they still have some power and money in Linchuan County. Is it possible that they won't be the focus of the Discipline Inspection Commission's investigation?

Wang Fushan patted Liu Qing on the shoulder, sighed softly, and said, "Don't think so much. This trip was already dangerous enough, and adding the Lin family will only make it a little more dangerous."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. I'll talk to Yueyue in the next couple of days. If that doesn't work, I'll talk to Lin Zhongfei. Of course, you can do it too. Anyway, let them calm down first. Once they've calmed down, they'll make a wise decision."

"Let's not talk about it anymore. You've had quite a bit to drink. Go back and rest first."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing knew that there was no point in saying anything more at this point. Indeed, it was necessary to give Wang Yueyue some time to calm down and think things through.

However, Liu Qing still felt it was inappropriate to have Wang Fushan talk to them. She felt it would be more appropriate for her to talk to Wang Yueyue and Lin Zhongfei herself.

"Tomiyama, I'll handle the conversation with them. You take care of the cleanup work, check for any loopholes, and fill in any gaps you can."

"Also, try to find out more about the Lin family's situation through connections, and also try to establish connections within the county."

This is normal. Zhao Mingyuan has fallen from power, and many others are about to fall as well. If you want to avoid being implicated or to be protected, you naturally need someone to speak up for you.

After all, some things can be negotiated and communicated. Whether to investigate or not depends on who is the one to speak up.

Upon hearing this, Wang Fushan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Liu Qing and said, "I heard that the newly appointed municipal party secretary, Li Zhixing, is the uncle of County Magistrate Li Feitu."

"If we can get in touch with County Magistrate Li Feitu, then not only will we land safely, but the Lin family might also have a slightly better outcome. At least, the problems with Lin Zhongfei's parents shouldn't be too big."

Hearing this, Liu Qing looked at Wang Fushan and gritted her teeth, saying, "Are you deliberately bringing up something I shouldn't have?"

"How could I not know what you're talking about?"

"But the problem is, who does Li Fei want? He's the county magistrate; are we even qualified?"

"There are only a handful of people in the entire Linchuan County who can speak for him, and among them, we only know Chen Jingcheng. But do you think Chen Jingcheng will help us?"

"Don't forget, we not only broke him and Yueyue up, but we also ignored his father's pleas for help. At this point, I'd be grateful if Chen Jingcheng didn't retaliate against us. Do you really expect him to protect us, or even the Lin family, in front of Li Feitu?"

"Wang Fushan, are you drunk, or are you out of your mind?"

Liu Qing also wanted to get close to Li Feitu. If he had a choice before, he had no choice now. With Li Feitu protecting him, they could stay safe and even rise to a higher level.

The problem is, that's absolutely impossible.

Wang Fushan looked at Liu Qing, shook his head slightly, and said, "Of course I know what you're saying, but things are up to us."

"Just because we're not good enough for Li Feitu doesn't mean others can't. We need to figure out a way. Although Li Feitu is in charge of Linchuan County, he still needs people, and he can't just ignore everyone's needs. Anyway, I'll figure this out. I know someone who has a good relationship with Li Guangming, the executive deputy county head. I'll try my best to ask around these next few days and see if I can get in touch with him."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing paused for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Li Guangming?"

"When Zhao Mingyuan was in charge, this executive deputy county head was like a nobody, with little presence. Although he was the executive deputy county head, he had almost no power."

"However, he has truly turned the tables now, especially since he seems to have chosen to stand firmly on Li Feitu's side this time. Now that Li Feitu is safe and sound and in power, he will definitely reward him according to his merits."

"Tomiyama, what are the chances?"

"If we can really get Li Guangming to speak for us, then nothing Chen Jingcheng says will matter. Even if he has Li Feitu's trust, can he really carry the weight of an executive deputy county head?"
