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

Who else but Chen Jinghan could call him "Second Uncle" and treat Chen Jingcheng and his family so disrespectfully?

By this time, Chen Jinghan's face was flushed from drinking, and he was walking unsteadily.

Even so, he still didn't forget to make fun of Chen Jingcheng, which shows just how much he disliked Chen Jingcheng.

Chen Jingcheng didn't want to indulge Chen Jinghan either, and said coldly, "Chen Jinghan, if you've had too much to drink, go home and rest. It's none of your business to interfere in our family affairs."

"Also, rest assured, even if we are broke, we will not borrow money from your family."

These are Chen Jingcheng's true feelings, his family?

Indeed, Chen Jingcheng should call Chen Jinghan's father, Chen Dashan, "Uncle." Chen Dashan and his own father, Chen Dachuan, were brothers, true brothers. But what happened? Is this how brothers are treated?

Chen Jingcheng felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything more. However, Chen Jinghan's repeated attempts to show off his power and mockery in front of them made Chen Jingcheng quite angry.

Since we've already torn off all pretense of civility, let's just go all the way.

If they don't care, why should Chen Jingcheng care?

Chen Jingcheng glanced at Chen Dachuan, shook his head, and said, "Dad, Mom, you two eat your food and don't worry about anything else."

"I'll handle this."

He saw that Chen Dachuan wanted to speak, but this time, he wanted to tell his parents that from now on, he, Chen Jingcheng, could help with everything, and he could protect his parents' dignity.

However, these words sounded like a joke to Chen Jinghan.

Chen Jinghan laughed heartily and clapped his hands.

"Oh my, you've got quite the nerve. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're the one in charge of this house."

"Chen Jingcheng, after working for two days, you've forgotten your own name?"

"Heh, just a lowly civil servant with no future. You really think anyone takes you seriously?"

Chen Jingcheng was now very curious to know what Chen Jinghan's expression would be if he knew that he, a lowly civil servant with no future in his eyes, had become the secretary of the county magistrate of Linchuan County and the deputy director of the government office at the deputy section level.

Chen Jingcheng didn't know anything else, but he knew that Chen Jinghan had drunk so much today because he was drinking with a deputy director of the Housing and Construction Bureau.

It was definitely about asking for favors from the Housing and Construction Bureau, and Chen Jinghan wanted to get contracts, so naturally he had to deal with them and curry favor.

However, Chen Jingcheng was certain of one thing: today, when Deputy Director Lin of the Housing and Construction Bureau, who had been treated like a VIP by Chen Jinghan, saw him and learned who he was, he would probably respectfully address him as Director Chen.

But Chen Jingcheng didn't need to tell Chen Jinghan any of this. He would find out who he was sooner or later. When that time came, he wanted to see if Chen Jinghan would still remember his true colors today.

Thinking about this, Chen Jingcheng felt a little bored.

"Chen Jinghan, I'm just a lowly civil servant with no future, but don't mess with me, or I'll make you regret it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinghan burst into laughter, pointed at Chen Jingcheng, and said coldly, "Chen Jingcheng, you've got some nerve! You have no respect for your elder brother! Why are you being so rude to me?"

"Do you even know who you are? You really think too highly of yourself."

Just then, a man in his thirties wearing glasses walked up to Chen Jinghan and said with a smile, "Jinghan, what are you doing? Deputy Director Lin and Young Master Sun are waiting for you to have a drink."

"By the way, we made an appointment on Monday night. Deputy Director Lin will be bringing a few leaders with him. Whether things go well or not depends on Monday."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinghan's eyes were full of smiles.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, I know what to do. I've already secured Director Lin's position. Monday, right? Okay, Monday it is. I'll make sure Director Lin is happy by then."

At this point, Chen Jinghan pointed at Chen Jingcheng and laughed, "Brother Wang, this is my brother, but he doesn't seem to respect me, his older brother, very much. Brother Wang, what do you suggest we do?"

"Here, you're the boss, you call the shots."

Upon hearing this, Brother Wang glanced at Chen Jingcheng. He didn't know Chen Jingcheng, but he did know Chen Jinghan.

Hearing Chen Jinghan say that, Brother Wang smiled and said, "No problem. If Brother Jinghan doesn't like it, just don't let them come here in the future."

After saying that, Brother Wang pointed at Chen Jingcheng and said coldly, "Young man, I'm sorry, but you're not welcome in my home. Don't come to my restaurant again."

"Also, if I'm not mistaken, the sesame paste you just used is my family's secret recipe, and it's different from what everyone else uses."

"Therefore, the price will be a bit higher."

"Wait a moment, I'll have the waiter come over and settle the bill."

Then, Brother Wang immediately called over a waiter.

The waiter picked up the menu and started calculating.

"Boss, the three of them spent a total of 156 yuan."

In 09, when many people in Linchuan County earned just over a thousand yuan a month, spending a little over a hundred yuan on necessities was already considered a considerable sum.

However, Boss Wang pointed to the sesame paste on the table and said casually, "This is our family's special secret-recipe sesame paste, five hundred yuan a box."

"So, young man, the total is six hundred and fifty-six yuan."

"Pay up."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dachuan and Li Sumei's expressions turned extremely ugly. At this moment, they couldn't even remain silent.

Six hundred and fifty-six yuan. If they really ate that much, then we wouldn't say anything. But what kind of secret sesame sauce costs five hundred yuan for a small box?

Isn't this blatant extortion?

Chen Dachuan immediately slammed his fist on the table and was about to stand up to argue.

However, Chen Jingcheng shook his head at Chen Dachuan and said, "Dad, let me handle it."

Chen Dachuan glanced at Chen Jingcheng, opened his mouth, but finally sighed and sat down.

At this moment, Chen Jinghan was laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face.

"Brother Wang, I know your secret recipe sesame sauce, it's absolutely amazing."

"Five hundred yuan a box, that's a great deal."

"But my brother, although he can afford it, it still costs almost half a month's salary, so I'm afraid he won't be willing to spend it."

After saying that, Chen Jinghan looked at Chen Jingcheng and said with a mocking expression, "Jingcheng, your salary is only a little over a thousand a month, right?"

"How about it? Or, how about I pay the bill for you, big brother?"

"Just beg me. Anyway, for me, a few hundred dollars isn't even enough for a bottle of wine, hahaha."

Chen Jingcheng gave Chen Jinghan a deep look, then chuckled softly and shook his head.

Slowly rising to his feet, Chen Jingcheng looked at Boss Wang, who was deliberately extorting him to avenge Chen Jinghan, and sighed, saying, "Boss Wang, do you even know the law?"

"Forget it, you probably wouldn't understand even if I told you this."

"But is this how business is done?"

"Are you sure you want to charge me this much money?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Wang sneered, "I heard this young man works for a government agency? What? Trying to scare me?"

"Hehe, I, Wang, am not easily intimidated. But if you're trying to dine and dash, then I'm sorry, I'll report you to your unit's disciplinary committee. I'd like to see if you get a disciplinary action, or even be fired."

"So, are you offering money or keeping my job?"
