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

When Yang Ruirui heard Chen Jingcheng call her name, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Chen Jingcheng.

That expression would be unbearable for most people.

Chen Jingcheng didn't feel anything, but after shouting, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

Does that mean Yang Ruirui shouldn't dress up so beautifully?

The key point is that although Yang Ruirui was dressed very nicely, she was by no means flamboyant; she only wore light makeup.

There's no rule within the system that forbids girls from wearing makeup.

In terms of clothing, she was also very proper, and her perfume was not strong.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jingcheng sighed and said, "Yang Ruirui, you've been working in the government office for three years now, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruirui nodded and said, "Not yet, but it will be here soon. I've been working in the Supervision Office ever since I arrived."

"However, as you know, Director Chen, the previous inspection office didn't have much work; it was very quiet."

It's really very quiet; there's really not much work to do. All the work has been taken care of by the Party Committee's supervisors. The government's supervisory department has neither the manpower nor the authority; it's just a leisurely office.

Of course, it would be a lie to say that I had no work at all. I did take on some tasks such as submitting proposals for the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. At the same time, I sometimes cooperated with the Party Committee's supervision. In short, I was a dispensable role.

So, despite having spent so long in the inspection office, Yang Ruirui hasn't actually become very proficient in her duties, because there's not much to do.

Chen Jingcheng thought for a moment and said, "Later, we'll go to the entrance of the Fuyue Hotel and keep an eye on things. We won't turn on the cameras yet, but we'll see if we see any familiar faces."

"I believe that everyone can tell at a glance whether someone is a public official or not. At least, a considerable number of people can tell."

"However, there are also cases that are not obvious."

"Yang Ruirui, you and Xiao Gao can go together later. You don't need to bring anything. Just go in and take a look around, find out the details. You don't need to bring your work badges either. Tell us when you come back."

Chen Jingcheng didn't intend to just lead his men and cameras inside. It wasn't a matter of whether it was appropriate or not; they had that right now.

However, sometimes there are still some ways and methods to do things.

After all, it was the first day, and everyone was still unfamiliar with each other. But they would gradually learn what to do.

They call it an investigation, but their main function is deterrence.

The intimidation made everyone know that the county government was serious, and the intimidation made them afraid to drink alcohol even if they wanted to. Only then could it be considered a success.

Yang Ruirui looked at Chen Jingcheng and said with a smile, "If only there were a way to input the information of all the public officials in our county, we could just put our mobile phones or a special machine here, and the identity information of the scanned person would automatically appear. Whether they are public officials or not would be clear at a glance. That would be simple and convenient."

Chen Jingcheng and the others in the car laughed at Yang Ruirui's words.

That would indeed be simple, but the problem is, 2009 isn't even over yet, where would we find such a level of technology?

Moreover, even if it existed, it involves the privacy of so many people, so it can't be used casually.

"I hope so, I hope that day will come."

"Advanced technology is also a help to us."

"What we are doing now is also striving for technological progress. Don't underestimate the fact that we are just investigating a public official's drinking problem. It involves the atmosphere of officialdom."

"Linchuan County has never had any good businesses settling in, simply because the atmosphere isn't very good, and the entrepreneurs don't trust our local government, our leaders, or our staff."

"If these changes are made, more and more excellent companies will move in, including some high-tech companies, and perhaps some of them will be researching this technology."

Everyone just smiled and didn't say anything when they heard Chen Jingcheng's words.

Investigating drinking can lead to results that impact technology; that's a bit of an exaggeration.

If it were an ordinary person, they might have wanted to say something, but Chen Jingcheng's prestige has been established. People present could make a small joke, but they really didn't dare to directly question Chen Jingcheng.

But they didn't dare; Yang Ruirui seemed to be quite naive.

"Director Chen, isn't that an exaggeration?"

"Can we even influence the future of science and technology?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng smiled and said, "Why not?"

"Of course, what I'm saying might sound a bit exaggerated, but if you think about it carefully, you'll know whether it's an exaggeration or not."

"For example, there is a company in our jurisdiction that is currently researching this technology. The county and city governments are also providing policies and support. As long as they are given time and confidence, they will eventually develop this technology."

"However, if our staff members have a bad attitude or make mistakes due to drinking, which hinders the development of their companies and makes them lose confidence or even become discouraged, then this technology may very well be stillborn or take a very long time to be realized."

"This is not an exaggeration at all."

"Every company will inevitably deal with people from various departments."

"And as long as you deal with people, as you all know, getting things done can be difficult at times. Not only are they dragging their feet, but sometimes they deliberately hold things up and refuse to do it."

At this point, Chen Jingcheng thought for a moment and said, "Everyone, let me ask you this: have you ever felt delayed, held back, or even pressured when dealing with people or handling matters yourself, waiting to be offered bribes?"

"Don't tell me it doesn't exist. If you think it doesn't exist, it's because you're still young and haven't done enough. You can ask your parents if this kind of situation exists."

"If both are present, that would be terrifying, extremely terrifying."

"At least, I've had this experience, so I know very well that if this situation doesn't change, the people will become increasingly dissatisfied."

When Chen Jingcheng got to this point, his expression became extremely serious.

He had indeed experienced some things firsthand, and his parents had also experienced them. It was a small matter, reasonable, legal, and compliant, that was just missing a signature and an official seal.

As a result, it took half a month to get it done, and they even had to treat us to meals and give us red envelopes before they would do it.

Otherwise, even if it is done, it is unknown how long it will be delayed.

It was because of his experience and understanding that Chen Jingcheng knew how despicable these people were!

In fact, this is still considered good; at least you receive a gift and do something in return.

Those who take advantage of their small amount of power, accept gifts, and then fail to deliver on their promises are the most despicable!

After Chen Jingcheng finished speaking, everyone except Yang Ruirui nodded to varying degrees.

It's not that there aren't officials in their families, but rather that sometimes they feel they can handle things themselves if they're reasonable and compliant, so why bother finding someone else?

As a result, those who were destined to encounter setbacks did indeed encounter setbacks.

What was meant to be delayed was delayed.

Yang Ruirui, on the other hand, seems to be truly carefree, having never done anything and having never experienced anything.

However, even though she hadn't experienced it herself, Yang Ruirui was still able to empathize.

"Yes, it's really awful."

"Director Chen, I understand what you mean."

"Now I understand the county magistrate's good intentions."

"It's time for a change."

It's good that you understand; it's never too late if you do!

As they were talking, Chen Jingcheng and his group's car had already arrived at the entrance of the Fuyue Hotel.
