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

The entrance to Fuyue Hotel is always bustling with people, even at lunchtime. After all, it is one of the best restaurants in Linchuan County, and it is a prestigious place to entertain guests.

Today, around lunchtime, there were still quite a few people, seemingly not much fewer than usual.

However, there was still a slight decrease in customer traffic.

Yang Ruirui and her companion went to the Fuyue Hotel for a short while and then returned directly.

Upon returning, the two were unsure whether there were any public officials present. After all, they couldn't simply barge into the private rooms and ask if anyone was a public official, given the situation outside the main hall.

Chen Jingcheng wasn't in a hurry, since only a minority of people drink at noon.

"Wait a bit. There's no rush at noon. In fact, I think we shouldn't be in a hurry for the next couple of days either."

"A large meeting just took place. If the meeting was so strict, the leaders of those units will definitely use even harsher language when they get back."

"Ordinary people don't understand the intricacies involved, but those leaders are shrewd people. They know very well that this investigation into drinking during work hours is no joke."

"If something happens to their subordinates, they will also be held responsible."

"Let's wait and see. If it doesn't happen, great. But if it does, we won't be shy."

"Remember, mainly at night!"

The others nodded in agreement after hearing Chen Jingcheng's words. Indeed, there probably weren't many people who would dare to commit a crime against the wind at noon.

Especially at such a famous hotel, it's clearly a key place to visit. You'd have to be really crazy to eat here.

Yang Ruirui thought for a moment, then looked at Chen Jingcheng and said, "Director Chen, I just saw a black car parked not far away, and I think I've seen one of the people inside before. He's from the Discipline Inspection Commission."

"It seems the Discipline Inspection Commission shares our idea and has also come here to keep watch."

Chen Jingcheng was not surprised by this.

This time, besides leaders, only the Party Committee's supervisory team, the government's supervisory team, and the county discipline inspection commission's inspection team have the authority to investigate drinking on weekdays.

Linchuan County is only so big, and there are only so many decent restaurants, so it's not surprising that it was found to be plagiarized.

"Our government's inspection team has been divided into two groups this time. As far as I know, the Party Committee's inspection team has been divided into three groups, and the Discipline Inspection Commission has also been divided into three groups."

"In total, that's eight groups conducting the investigation together."

"However, the most crucial point is that these eight groups, or rather three units, did not communicate or coordinate with each other regarding who would inspect whom or what they would inspect. Therefore, it is normal for there to be cross-inspections and duplicate inspections."

"That's good, since it's all random, which avoids the problem of some people knowing the situation in advance and then leaking information."

"Let them investigate, we'll investigate ours, no need to worry about so much."

Upon hearing Chen Jingcheng's words, the people in the car nodded in agreement.

Indeed, whatever the reason why the eight inspection teams from the three units did not communicate in advance, it must be said that since it was all random, they were more likely to find something.

For example, the Party Committee has three inspection teams, and they have definitely assigned places to each other. Just like Chen Jingcheng and Tie Hu, Tie Hu would definitely tell Chen Jingcheng where he was going.

However, Chen Jingcheng did not know where the three inspection teams from the Party Committee were going, so there was no possibility of prior disclosure.

It's all random anyway. We'll check wherever it leads and calculate whatever happens. If we encounter it, it's not surprising.

The same applies to the disciplinary committee.

Chen Jingcheng glanced at the time and said with a smile, "It's 12:10. Let's go find a place to eat. If they want to investigate here, then let them investigate here."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruirui quickly said, "Director Chen, we've only just arrived at the restaurant. Many people haven't arrived yet, or rather, they've just arrived. Are you really not going to do anything about it?"

"While it's highly likely that not many people will drink at lunchtime today, what if they do?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Isn't there an inspection team here? Why should we compete with them for anything?"

"Remember my words, we don't measure performance by how many people we arrest."

"Never."

"And you should also remember that we are checking for drinking on weekdays, not eating on weekdays."

"This is the first point we need to clarify."

"Otherwise, some unexpected situations may occur."

"It's okay for some people to come to the restaurant during weekdays, as long as they don't drink alcohol, there's really no problem."

Yang Ruirui thought for a moment and said, "If we don't drink, how many people will come over to eat?"

"I think there's a 90% chance that anyone who comes to eat will drink alcohol."

There's nothing that can be done about it. This is the environment Yang Ruirui is exposed to. There are very few people who don't drink nowadays. Even if someone didn't drink before, after starting work and becoming an adult, they still have to drink a little bit.

Chen Jingcheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Indeed, so this alcohol ban may seem to have no impact, but in reality, the impact will be significant."

"It's because some people won't even come to restaurants if they don't drink."

"Even those who don't drink will be much more restrained this time and won't go to restaurants to eat."

"Think about it, so many inspection teams are conducting investigations, and there are video recordings. What if they record something that shouldn't be recorded?"

"Whether it's to avoid suspicion, or to keep some private matters from being known, or to feel uncomfortable not having a drink when you're out, or for various other reasons, there's definitely an impact. It reduces the possibility of going out and dining with others."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go eat."

"After we finish eating, we'll drive straight to the town! Directly to the village!"

These words stunned Yang Ruirui and the others, who then looked at Chen Jingcheng with some confusion.

All the good restaurants are in the county town.

What are you going to do in towns and even villages?

Chen Jingcheng sighed inwardly as he looked at the puzzled expressions on their faces.

Ultimately, their thinking had become somewhat rigid, to the point that they didn't understand that although there were many public officials in the county, most of them didn't actually have much power, and they were under more pressure and had more to consider.

However, towns are different, and villages are even more different.

Especially among the village leadership and some township staff, drinking at lunchtime is not exactly the norm, but it is a frequent occurrence.

Moreover, compared to county towns, township staff tend to have more of a侥幸心理 (a mentality of taking chances), while those in villages are even less likely to do so.

They're all seasoned veterans, and with so many villages around, they might not even think they'll be found out.

After Chen Jingcheng explained his words, everyone in the car immediately had an expression of sudden realization.

"So, let's go, buy some food along the way, eat as we walk, and then we'll randomly pick a town to visit!"
