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

The Linchuan County Party Committee Standing Committee has a total of eleven members. Li Feitu has only been there for a little over a month. Besides his own vote, he managed to get the vote from Li Guangming, the executive deputy county head who doesn't get along well with Secretary Zhao. That's already pretty good. But, after all, Li Guangming is the executive deputy county head and Li Feitu's direct subordinate. It's not hard to understand why he would side with Li Feitu.

However, the fact that Li Feitu still had votes, especially when he was competing with Secretary Zhao, made many people find it unbelievable.

Of course, many people are still unaware of Li Feitu's true strength. Only Li Feitu himself knows the details. Once revealed, it may shock many people in Linchuan County.

In addition, Secretary Zhao, although he has worked in Linchuan County for eight years, not all members of the Standing Committee of Linchuan County are his people.

Leaving aside the government, on the Standing Committee side, Secretary Zhao has at least four staunch allies, and these four, plus Secretary Zhao himself, already make up five votes.

With eleven votes, six votes would be a sure win. Secretary Zhao has a minimum of five votes, plus at least two other votes from people who don't want to offend him. Add to that the numerous people, big and small, that Secretary Zhao has planted in Linchuan County, and it's no exaggeration to say that Secretary Zhao's word is law in Linchuan County.

However, he underestimated Li Feitu and overestimated his own influence.

However, he probably won't be fully aware of these things until the Standing Committee meeting.

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng was unaware of these things, but he knew that he was already bound to Li Feitu, and there was no way out.

"It's snowing."

Chen Jingcheng, Guo Hu, and Liu Fei sat together eating hot pot. The weather was cool but not too cold. When the snowflakes fell gently, they didn't feel cold at all; instead, they made people feel extremely happy.

Snowing.

The first snow of the year.

Chen Jingcheng and the others had already drunk quite a bit and were all slightly tipsy, while Liu Fei was even more drunk.

The three of them stood in the snow, looking at the snowflakes, and suddenly they were all very happy.

Liu Fei pointed to the sky and roared, "I, Liu Fei, will definitely make something of myself!"

"I will make everyone who looks down on me look up to me with their heads held high, and never dare to raise their voices when speaking to me again!"

"I swear, I can do it."

Seeing Liu Fei venting his frustration at the sky, Guo Hu smiled, patted Liu Fei on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, you can definitely do it."

"Once Jingcheng and I turn our lives around, no one will dare to bully you anymore. Then, you'll still be the Fei-ge you were back in the old days!"

Upon hearing Guo Hu's words, Liu Fei burst into laughter.

"Brother Fei, yeah, I want to be Brother Fei, no, I want to be Master Fei!"

"I'm Liu Fei, I'm fucking Liu Fei!!!"

As Liu Fei roared, tears streamed down his face.

Chen Jingcheng fell silent upon seeing this.

How many adults can truly live a life that is completely satisfactory?

Every family has its own troubles. The rich have their worries, and the poor have theirs. Even the county party secretary and county head of Linchuan County have their own anxieties and worries.

To live is to struggle forward amidst all sorts of troubles and difficulties, solving problems along the way.

Chen Jingcheng only hopes that after the problem is solved, he can have a bright future ahead.

Looking at Liu Fei silently shedding tears, and at Guo Hu, who was once full of ambition but now had his edges worn down by life, Chen Jingcheng secretly vowed that he must make a name for himself and become stronger as soon as possible.

Once you become strong, your family and brothers will face far fewer difficulties.

The snowflakes in the sky fell heavily, growing larger and larger, soaking Chen Jingcheng's hair until it turned white, but he didn't want to hide.

Last year, he and Wang Yueyue made a promise that they would spend the first snow of the year together, even if they weren't married yet. They would walk on the street and let the snowflakes turn their hair white and cover their shoulders, as if they were growing old together in advance.

The first snow has arrived.

However, things have changed, and Wang Yueyue is no longer by his side.

At this moment, who Wang Yueyue was walking in the snow with, seemingly with white hair, was no longer something Chen Jingcheng wanted to think about.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Jingcheng looked at Guo Hu and smiled, "Brother Hu, are you staying here with A-Fei again tonight? Or what?"

"It's getting late, I'll head back now. I have to go to work tomorrow."

Guo Hu thought for a moment and said, "Afei has had too much to drink. I'll stay and keep him company tonight."

"Jingcheng, it's snowing, drive carefully."

"Don't worry about what you said, I understand. I'll come find you in the next two or three days after I've made my preparations."

"When the time comes, let's brothers work together and make something of ourselves."

Chen Jingcheng smiled and nodded, then rode away on his bicycle.

The next morning, Chen Jingcheng got ready and rode his bicycle to the county government compound.

The first snowfall didn't last long, only about two hours, and it wasn't heavy either, so there wasn't much snow on the ground, nor did it freeze.

When Chen Jingcheng arrived at his workplace, he first confirmed the county head's itinerary and arrangements. Then, he went to the inspection office to check the room's layout and whether the office supplies were in place.

Nowadays, Chen Jingcheng is a well-known figure in the government compound.

He serves as the county magistrate's secretary, head of the comprehensive section, and concurrently as the director of the inspection office, where he will soon hold considerable power.

Everyone who sees him calls Chen Jingcheng Director Chen.

Chen Jingcheng was a little embarrassed at first, but he gradually got used to it.

At 8:10, Chen Jingcheng arrived at a conference room on the second floor with a pen and notebook.

The meeting of all government office staff that was supposed to be held yesterday was postponed and did not take place, but the meeting will still be held today.

The conference room on the second floor has a rectangular table that can seat more than twenty people.

Along the wall, there were some chairs, enough to seat twenty or thirty people on both sides.

The government office now has a total of forty or fifty people, enough to sit down, but it's a bit crowded.

Chen Jingcheng sat down in a chair against the wall. He knew very well that those who could sit at this rectangular table were all senior people, and those who could sit opposite them were leaders from the government office.

Chen Jingcheng is not currently a leader in the government office, but given his current position, it doesn't matter if he has a place at this table.

However, the table was already full, so Chen Jingcheng couldn't very well ask the others to leave.

Sometimes you can fight for it, and sometimes you don't. When it's your turn, it will come naturally.

With the arrival of Director Gao and his team, Chen Jingcheng's first meeting since arriving at the government office officially began.

Director Gao immediately began searching for Chen Jingcheng.
