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

Upon hearing this, Director Gao smiled and nodded, saying, "Jingcheng, you're very good."

"Taking the overall situation into account while adhering to one's own bottom line is commendable, truly excellent."

"The situation I just described is only one possible scenario; we don't know the specifics."

"Alright, you go ahead and get busy, and we'll see what the county magistrate thinks later."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng immediately left Director Gao's office.

After finishing his work, Chen Jingcheng saw the county magistrate arrive at his office and immediately followed him in.

Li Feitu looked exhausted, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept well.

Chen Jingcheng immediately poured Li Feitu a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.

"County Head, you don't look too well. Should we postpone the morning meeting?"

Upon hearing this, Li Feitu picked up his teacup, took a sip, then shook his head and said, "No need. I was just a bit busy last night, thinking about a lot of things, so I didn't get much rest."

"It won't affect my work."

"By the way, Jingcheng, how are you? Are you adjusting well?"

Are you adapting?

It's not that I'm not used to it, but it would be a lie to say I'm completely used to it.

However, the sense of accomplishment and happiness that this job brings is real, and if County Chief Li wins, the rewards will be extremely generous.

"County Chief, I'm adapting quite well. Don't worry, I won't neglect my work."

Li Feitu nodded, then looked at Chen Jingcheng and said with a smile, "Did you drink last night?"

"Have you received quite a few invitations?"

That's true. Chen Jingcheng didn't try to hide it and quickly said, "County Chief, last night some heads of various units invited me to dinner and drinks, but I declined them all."

"But I did drink last night, with two friends I hadn't seen in a long time."

Li Feitu didn't genuinely intend to hold anyone accountable, but after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Jingcheng, what's your opinion on drinking on weekdays?"

"I'm referring not only to lunchtime on weekdays, but also to evenings."

Do you think drinking at night will affect your work the next day?

Chen Jingcheng was at a loss for words after hearing this.

Li Feitu is the county magistrate, and nothing he says should be taken lightly as casual conversation.

In particular, Li Feitu's inquiry about the impact of drinking on weekdays indicates that he actually disapproves of such situations.

Drinking alcohol at lunchtime on weekdays is strictly prohibited, but the key issue is that enforcement is weak. As a result, many party members and public officials in Linchuan County still drink alcohol at lunchtime, even if it's less frequent than at night.

Especially for some leaders, who have more flexible working hours, there are fewer concerns.

As for drinking at night, there's not much to say about that; it's not just a problem in Linchuan County, but in every place.

Sometimes, drinking isn't just about drinking; it can also be a social obligation.

Chen Jingcheng didn't dare say much, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "County Magistrate, drinking alcohol at noon on a weekday is definitely inappropriate. After all, it could very well interfere with work. Even if it doesn't interfere with work and you can go to get off work and leave work normally, what about when you face the people who come to you for business?"

"Seeing someone with a flushed face and smelling strongly of alcohol is also an influence on the atmosphere of officialdom in Linchuan County. How could such behavior possibly leave a good impression on the people?"

"Therefore, I believe that drinking alcohol at lunchtime on weekdays must be prohibited."

At this point, Chen Jingcheng paused for a moment before saying softly, "As for whether or not to drink after work on weekday afternoons, I really can't say anything. After all, after a day's work, some people might have family gatherings, some might have a few drinks with friends, and some might have reception duties. To say that they are completely forbidden from drinking is probably not a very realistic thing."

"Of course, if we forcefully push for rectification, it can be implemented. However, this is not something I can consider. It depends on how you, the county head, and the county leaders handle it."

Upon hearing this, Li Feitu nodded and said, "Indeed, drinking on weekday evenings is a difficult matter to handle. It involves a lot of issues, such as the scope of the drinking, whether it is for official business, and whether it involves the misuse of public funds, etc. It's hard to define."

"But even so, there should be some constraints."

"Jingcheng, you draft a document. I plan to put it to a vote at the Standing Committee meeting after Secretary Zhao returns. The officialdom in Linchuan County must be changed."

"I plan to start by drinking during weekday lunch breaks."

"At the same time, you should consider how to regulate drinking in the evenings after get off work on weekdays. Even if you can't ban everyone, it must not affect normal work."

"Find some other examples, and based on the actual situation in our county, draft a document for me. I will review it before making a decision."

This was Chen Jingcheng's job, so naturally he wouldn't refuse.

"Yes, County Magistrate, I will organize the materials as soon as possible and then send them to you for review."

Li Feitu nodded and said, "Alright, Jingcheng, is there anything else?"

Chen Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and did not reveal Liu Fei's matter.

We've already spoken to Director Gao, so we'll listen to his opinion. Besides, we don't have enough materials on hand right now. To report directly to the county head, we need at least accurate information.

"County magistrate, I'm fine here."

Li Feitu nodded and said, "Alright, then you can go ahead and get busy."

"By the way, Jingcheng, how's the situation with the inspection office?"

"Is everyone in the office, including the staff, all present?"

"I haven't met Director Gao yet, nor have I heard his report. However, since you will be the director of the Supervision Office, you still need to know about these things."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng immediately reported the details to Li Feitu.

They revealed everything, including the location of the inspection office, office supplies, official vehicles, and even a separate account.

Meanwhile, staffing has also begun to be finalized, and everyone will be in place within two days at most.

Li Feitu was very satisfied with this efficiency.

"Alright, in that case, your primary task now is to quickly complete the staffing of the Supervision Office. Then, once everything is ready in the Supervision Office, Jing Cheng, your mission will officially begin."

"You understand what I mean, right?"

"I have high hopes for your inspection office."

Chen Jingcheng understood this.

In fact, he knew very well that with Secretary Zhao in a difficult position, and if County Chief Li wanted to do or investigate something, the Supervision Office would be a sharp weapon in County Chief Li's hands.

The power may not be great enough.

But it doesn't matter. The Supervision Office is not the Discipline Inspection Commission, nor the Public Security Bureau, nor the Procuratorate. It doesn't need to investigate anyone or dig deep into any behind-the-scenes clues or purposes. The Supervision Office only needs to investigate some simple, obvious things, and that's enough.

Once Li Feitu had found these things, he didn't need much else to make his mark.

"Rest assured, County Head, the Inspection Office will absolutely not let you down."

As Chen Jingcheng said this, he himself was somewhat looking forward to what the first task would be after the reorganization of the Supervision Office.
