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

Li Feitu's words left Chen Jingcheng speechless.

It's no secret that only one of Secretary Zhao and County Head Li can stay in Linchuan County.

Everyone knows that these two don't get along. Even if Li Feitu obediently tolerates Secretary Zhao, Secretary Zhao probably won't want Li Feitu under his nose and will find a way to get rid of him sooner or later.

But how long has it been?

Everyone thought it would take at least a year and a half.

So, has it already come to this?

After hearing what Li Feitu said, Chen Jingcheng understood that Li Feitu did indeed have reasons to be anxious, and he should be anxious.

"County Head, will the County Head's Office approve it?"

"These deputy county heads probably have people working for Secretary Zhao."

Li Feitu nodded and smiled, "Of course there are people under Secretary Zhao, but I am the county magistrate."

"I naturally have my own ways of solving problems, and I don't need them all to agree."

"A smart person knows what choices they should make."

"Besides, things might not have come to this. I've already issued the notice that public officials in Linchuan County are strictly prohibited from drinking alcohol during working days. Secretary Zhao, you have to agree whether you want to or not."

"If he disagrees, I will be direct with him and convene a county mayor's office meeting to discuss the matter, form meeting minutes, and submit them to the county party committee standing committee for discussion. If it still does not pass, I will forcibly issue it separately in the name of the government, and at the same time, report to the municipal party committee and municipal government."

"He understands the importance of the situation, so I believe he will pass."

Indeed, if things really escalate to that point, that's not what Secretary Zhao wants to see.

Call it a threat or whatever, since Li Feitu has gone all out, Secretary Zhao still wants to save face.

He wanted to drive Li Feitu away, but he didn't want to kill a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own.

He didn't want Li Feitu to affect his future prospects or how his superiors viewed him.

Li Feitu shook his head and said, "Jingcheng, let's not talk about this anymore. I will handle this matter."

"At worst, the outcome will be a falling out."

"But in fact, they've already turned against each other."

"I asked you to stay because I wanted to talk to you about something else."

"You told Director Gao about your friend Liu Fei being bullied at Wang Feipeng's construction site, right?"

"Wang Feipeng, the nephew of Deputy Secretary Wang."

Chen Jingcheng hadn't expected Li Feitu to bring this up, but he nodded and said, "Yes, County Chief, I discussed the details with Director Gao earlier."

"Director Gao, did he tell you?"

Li Feitu nodded and said, "That's right, Director Gao has already explained the situation to me, so I understand the details."

"At the same time, I also learned a bit about Wang Feipeng. He is the nephew of the deputy secretary. Relying on the deputy secretary's position, he has undertaken a lot of government projects and has grown from a small contractor to a real estate developer, making a fortune."

"However, having made so much money, he still owes migrant workers their wages and tries to cut corners on the quality of the project. He is a person with absolutely no conscience. He will stop at nothing to make dirty money."

"Mingyue Mansion is his project, but he also undertook two other construction sites, both of which are government-subsidized resettlement housing communities. It is said that the quality of these projects is extremely poor."

When Li Feitu mentioned Wang Feipeng, his eyes made no attempt to hide his disgust and aversion.

Clearly, Li Feitu felt extreme disgust and anger towards Wang Feipeng, who would stop at nothing to make money, even going so far as to falsify the quality of engineering projects.

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng felt a surge of excitement, but he dared not let his guard down.

Before Li Feitu has fully expressed his stance, he will not assume a positive outcome.

After all, behind Wang Feipeng stands Deputy Secretary Wang.

Deputy Secretary Wang not only holds a vote in the Standing Committee, but also wields considerable authority in Linchuan County.

It can be said that if Li Feitu could win over Deputy Secretary Wang, his chances of winning would increase by at least one-third.

This is the influence of Deputy Secretary Wang.

Li Feitu sighed and said, "However, knowing this is one thing, but dealing with Wang Feipeng still faces considerable obstacles. It's not just because Deputy Secretary Wang is behind it, but also because evidence is very difficult to find."

"In addition, some supervisory authorities protected him, so it would take a lot of determination to take him down."

"So, Jingcheng, this matter may require your friend to be patient a little longer; the time is not right yet."

After hearing Li Feitu's words, Chen Jingcheng remained silent for a moment before nodding slightly and saying, "County Magistrate, don't worry, I know what to do."

"I've already spoken to my friend beforehand. If we want to get justice, we can't rush things."

"Don't worry, I will consider the bigger picture."

He said he was considering the bigger picture, and there was no dissatisfaction in his eyes, but Li Feitu could sense that Chen Jingcheng was somewhat disappointed.

For Li Feitu, Chen Jingcheng's disappointment in him was a problem that was probably more serious than losing the political struggle with Secretary Zhao.

After all, although he doesn't have much detailed information about Chen Jingcheng's background yet, one thing is certain: Chen Jingcheng's current parents are not his biological parents, but his adoptive parents!

Given that Chen Jingcheng's age and appearance are exactly the same as that important figure's when he was young, Li Feitu can now be almost certain that Chen Jingcheng is, with a 90% probability, that important figure's biological child who has been lost for more than 20 years.

If that's really the case, then all talk of Secretary Zhao is meaningless.

Li Feitu not only staked his own future on this, but the future of the entire Li family might also rest on Chen Jingcheng's shoulders.

Therefore, even if he really considered trying to win over Deputy Secretary Wang, and even if winning over Deputy Secretary Wang could actually change his situation in Linchuan County, he wouldn't do it.

Chen Jingcheng is the most important person.

"Jingcheng, I know what you're thinking. Director Gao has also told me about his conversation with you, but what I want to say to you today isn't about telling you to consider the bigger picture!"

Li Feitu stood up, walked over to Chen Jingcheng, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I don't deny that if we find something on Wang Feipeng and use it to get Deputy Secretary Wang to switch sides, it will be beneficial to me in the long run!"

"I don't deny that I have thought about it. After all, my situation in Linchuan County needs to change."

"But I can tell you my decision now."

"I will not compromise, not even for the sake of the greater good."

"If the so-called big picture means watching these filthy parasites continue to bully the people, continue to tamper with the houses that the people are about to live in, and make the people live in dangerous buildings, threatening their lives and property."

"Then, let's just abandon this overall plan!"

"If this time I tolerate these dirty things for the sake of the so-called big picture."

"Then I, Li Feitu, will not only be unable to face my own conscience, but will also have to question my principles of conduct, official duties, and personal life in the future."

"Most importantly, how can I, Li Feitu, face the 800,000 people of Linchuan County!"
