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

Liu Fei looked completely bewildered, having no idea what Chen Jingcheng was talking about.

It's not his fault. Let alone ordinary people, even ordinary staff members within the system, how many of them know the real situation?

In their eyes, Li Feitu was the county magistrate, the main person in charge of the county government, the county magistrate of Linchuan County. Many people who did not know how powerful the county party secretary was thought that the county magistrate was the real person in charge of Linchuan County.

That's not surprising.

However, Guo Hu is different. Guo Hu is a public official. Although he is currently a low-level staff member, Guo Hu at least knows that the county head is only the deputy secretary in the county party committee, while the county party secretary is the real top leader.

But none of that matters.

Importantly, Chen Jingcheng suddenly blurted out that County Chief Li Feitu was planning to have a showdown with Secretary Zhao.

This is something that Liu Fei and Guo Hu did not know.

Liu Fei looked at Chen Jingcheng with a blank expression and said, "Jingcheng, where did you hear this news from?"

"Is the county magistrate planning to go toe-to-toe with Secretary Zhao?"

"I know Secretary Zhao. He's the county party secretary, and Deputy Secretary Wang's superior."

"Shouldn't these people be protecting each other? How could they be fighting against each other?"

Guo Hu knew more than Liu Fei and considered things more thoroughly.

"Jingcheng, where did you get this information from?"

"Forget it, no matter where it came from, even if County Chief Li is planning to go toe-to-toe with Secretary Zhao, what does that have to do with our revenge?"

"Are we supposed to go to the county magistrate's office and file a complaint?"

"Then let the county head deal with Deputy Secretary Wang?"

"I'm afraid that even if I can get into the county government building, I won't be able to find the county magistrate's office."

"If you ask me, let's do it my way. I refuse to believe we can't handle them."

However, Chen Jingcheng simply smiled, then picked up his glass and said with a smile, "Brother Hu, Afei, come on, have a drink."

"I was planning to tell you this when I came, but we kept talking about other things and I didn't have a chance to tell you yet."

"I have left the township and today I was officially transferred to work in the Linchuan County Government Office."

As soon as Chen Jingcheng said this, Liu Fei and Guo Hu's eyes widened immediately, and then a look of wild joy appeared in their eyes.

But this elation didn't stem from the fact that Chen Jingcheng's job change would help them. Rather, it was because they felt that Chen Jingcheng had finally left the township, that they would be able to see him more often in the future, and that his job in the county government office meant he had a brighter future.

This is for Chen Jingcheng's sake, and I'm happy for him.

Liu Fei immediately grabbed Chen Jingcheng's wrist and said excitedly, "Jingcheng, you're not kidding, are you? This is for real?"

"You were really transferred from the township to the county government office?"

"That's the county government office. Getting transferred there is incredibly difficult. What's your situation?"

"Also, does Wang Yueyue know about this? If she knew about this situation, she couldn't possibly still break up with you, could she? Even her family should look at you differently and give you some leeway, instead of making things so difficult for you."

"After all, the situation is different now, and the future is different too."

Liu Fei didn't understand officialdom, but he knew a little bit about it. Moreover, the less he understood something, the more he knew that working in the county government would completely change his status and position.

They don't understand what the government is doing, but they believe that the people in the county government office represent the county government.

Guo Hu, on the other hand, knew more, which is why he was happy along with them.

"Yes, Jingcheng, Afei is right. Even though you've been transferred to the county government office, will Wang Yueyue still treat you like this?"

Chen Jingcheng originally said these things to tell Guo Hu not to act impulsively and to tell Liu Fei that he could get revenge. However, the first thing they considered was their relationship with Wang Yueyue.

This left Chen Jingcheng with nothing but sighs.

This is what brothers are all about.

"Tiger, Fei, and Wang Yueyue didn't know I had been transferred to the government office when they broke up with me. It's not that I didn't want to tell them, but I didn't have time before they broke up with me."

At this point, Chen Jingcheng gave a bitter smile and shook his head, saying, "Besides, even if I had said it back then, it probably wouldn't have made any difference. Wang Yueyue's new boyfriend is said to have a very powerful and influential family background, so even if I were transferred to the county government office, they wouldn't care."

"After all, compared to me, who may need at least several years, or even more than a decade, to make a name for myself, the person they found can bring them dignity and help immediately."

Chen Jingcheng's words silenced Guo Hu and Liu Fei; reality is indeed cruel.

Even though Chen Jingcheng now has the opportunity to change his fate, his family background and decades of hard work are still there. It's not something that can be surpassed so easily.

Guo Hu and Liu Fei stopped mentioning the matter, but they were not entirely resigned to it.

Guo Hu picked up his wine glass and said in a deep voice, "Jing Cheng, it's alright. They just lack foresight. I believe that sooner or later, they will regret their choice today."

"You're my brother. Others may not know your abilities, but Afei and I know them best. Just give you a chance, and you'll soar to great heights. Your future and prospects are limitless!"

Liu Fei quickly chimed in, "Yes, Jingcheng, you already have a bright future ahead of you. Don't let my situation ruin your prospects."

"Jingcheng, I can wait. If I couldn't wait when you were working in a township, now you're on the fast track. As long as nothing goes wrong, you'll be in a leadership position sooner or later. I can wait, really. Don't let my situation affect your future; it's not worth it!"

This time, Guo Hu didn't act impulsively. After all, the matter was no longer just about avenging Liu Fei, but also concerned Chen Jingcheng's future, which was very important.

"Jingcheng, Liu Fei has already held back, so don't be impulsive either. Besides, the government office has so many departments and so many people. If you've been in there for a year or two, you'll be familiar with everything and know the ins and outs. Then, it's not impossible to come up with a solution."

"But right now, you've just started working, so the priority is stability. People in the government office will be promoted, and if you do well, you might even get promoted very quickly. So, this is an opportunity for you, and for all of us, to change our destiny."

"No accidents can happen. In short, I won't cause any trouble, and Afei will put up with it. We can all wait, or rather, we can all act impulsively, but you absolutely cannot."

"The more you work in the government office, the more you should understand how difficult it is to deal with Deputy Secretary Wang. Don't even mention he almost became county head; even now, he's the deputy secretary of the county party committee, the third most powerful person in Linchuan County, and a confidant of Secretary Zhao. He's someone you can't afford to offend!"

When he said he couldn't afford to offend them, Guo Hu's teeth were practically grinding to powder; clearly, he was unwilling to accept defeat.

When Chen Jingcheng looked at Guo Hu and Liu Fei, he knew that after he was transferred to work in the county government office, his first thought was not that he could avenge his family, but that he was afraid that standing up for them would cause trouble and affect his future.

They were even willing to give up revenge because of this.

This touched Chen Jingcheng deeply.

The more moved he was, the less likely he was to ignore it.

Besides, this is something that can actually be done.

If he weren't the county magistrate's secretary, there would be nothing to say. But he is the county magistrate's secretary, and he knows what the county magistrate wants to do. That is the opportunity.

Looking at Guo Hu and Liu Fei, Chen Jingcheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

"However, I genuinely believe there's room for maneuver in Brother Fei's matter."

"County Chief, we've already started a war with Secretary Zhao. As Secretary Zhao's staunch confidant, Deputy Secretary Wang is unlikely to change his stance. Therefore, taking him down is inevitable."

"I will report this matter to the county head. The specifics of how to proceed will be decided by the county head."

Guo Hu and Liu Fei were taken aback when they heard Chen Jingcheng's words. They felt that something was not quite right.

They keep saying they're reporting to the county head, as if they can meet and talk to him anytime. Is that even possible?
