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

Linchuan County comprises eighteen townships and two subdistrict offices.

Both subdistrict offices are located within the county seat, not to mention the townships where the urban area is situated.

So, there are still seventeen townships to choose from.

Chen Jingcheng randomly picked a road and then had someone drive around on it, making random turns.

At this point, Chen Jingcheng and his team didn't even know which township they were going to inspect, let alone anyone else.

By the time Chen Jingcheng and the others finished eating, the car had already been driving for more than half an hour.

There were several turns.

Chen Jingcheng doesn't even know his exact location now.

By this time, it was already around 1:30.

Chen Jingcheng checked the time and then asked a question.

"Where are we now?"

Yang Ruirui glanced at the navigation and immediately said, "Director Chen, we've arrived at Xiaoshiqiao Town now. Our current location is in Yangshulin Village. We'll reach the main road of their town after crossing two more roads."

"Director Chen, should we go directly to the bustling streets of their town?"

"At this time, if anyone has been drinking, they should have finished by now, so we can check it out."

Chen Jingcheng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, let's go directly to the village committee of Yangshulin Village."

"After you go to the village committee, you can consider other things. Is the alcohol tester ready? Or maybe you should go directly to the township government for an alcohol test."

At this point, Chen Jingcheng said in a deep voice, "Remember this: we are indeed an inspection team sent by the county to check whether staff members drink alcohol during workdays. However, we are also the county government's inspection office. As arranged by the county head, we also have the responsibility to supervise and inspect the conduct and discipline of all public officials in the county."

"Checking for alcohol consumption is our job, but it's only one part of our job."

Chen Jingcheng did not deliberately add scenes for himself.

The Inspection Office does indeed have this power.

Moreover, why is it stipulated that public officials are strictly prohibited from drinking alcohol during working days?

Its main purpose is to change the official atmosphere in Linchuan County and to change the work style, discipline, and attitude of all public officials in Linchuan County.

Therefore, investigating drinking cannot be limited to just investigating drinking.

We can't just turn a blind eye to staff members who haven't been drinking but are absent from their posts or have a bad attitude towards the public, can we?

That definitely won't work.

Upon hearing Chen Jingcheng's words, everyone immediately nodded in agreement.

The vehicle quickly arrived at the entrance of the village committee of Yangshulin Village.

Yangshulin Village is not a wealthy village, so the village committee is naturally not luxurious either. It is located in a courtyard with a two-story building, and the first floor is the office.

When Chen Jingcheng and his group arrived, the gate was locked.

They didn't knock on the door, nor did they call someone to open it.

Chen Jingcheng checked the time: 1:50. No problem, he could wait.

Time slowly passed to two o'clock, and still no one came to open the door.

Chen Jingcheng didn't say anything and continued to wait.

Until 2:30, Chen Jingcheng frowned.

Because at this moment, they were waiting in the car, while at the gate, an elderly man of about seventy years old, leaning on a cane, was also standing there waiting.

Seeing this, Yang Ruirui seemed a little sorry for him and frowned, saying, "It's already 2:30, and no one has come to work yet?"

"There are only a few people in the village, it's impossible for none of them to come."

"This old man doesn't look to be in very good health; he's using a cane. It's really excessive."

The others also frowned at this point, but none of them offered any opinions.

After a moment of silence, Chen Jingcheng said in a deep voice, "The old man is sitting on the rock over there. Let's wait a little longer."

"The situation in the village is quite complicated, and there are few people. With so many things to do, we cannot force them to come to the village committee office on time."

"Most villages in our county are not wealthy, and the village committee members combined number only a few people."

"Sometimes a few people have to take care of the affairs of hundreds or thousands of people in a village. And sometimes, when a conflict in a village is resolved, it may take not just a few hours, but even several days."

"In this situation, we should offer our understanding when possible."

Chen Jingcheng did not believe that he had to be at his post during working hours.

Special jobs and special circumstances require special treatment.

There are only so many staff members in the village, but the work is complicated. They often deal with neighborhood disputes, land disputes, pension and medical insurance payments, and so on. In short, it's troublesome.

The fact that a staff member is not in the office does not mean that they are not at their work post.

Everything should be considered from both sides.

It would be irresponsible to punish staff members simply because they are not in the office, without considering the actual circumstances.

Therefore, Chen Jingcheng was willing to wait a little longer.

Upon hearing Chen Jingcheng's words, Yang Ruirui and the others nodded in agreement.

But we can't keep waiting forever.

"Director Chen, how long will we have to wait? We can't expect to wait all afternoon if they don't come, can we?"

"And what if they're not working?"

"Also, this elderly person is clearly here to wait for staff. We can't just ignore them completely, can we? They're quite old, and they don't look to be in very good health."

Chen Jingcheng nodded and checked the time.

"It'll be three o'clock in ten minutes. Here's what we'll do: Yang Ruirui, you're a girl, go and talk to the old man and see what he needs to do."

"Then you can subtly inquire about the specific situation of the staff in this village."

"If their people aren't back in ten minutes, I'll handle it!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruirui hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chen Jingcheng and said, "Director Chen, I don't know this old man. Will he tell me?"

Chen Jingcheng has been working for five years, and Yang Ruirui has indeed been spoiled too much. As a result, even though she has been working for quite some time, she still doesn't have much experience.

"Don't worry, this old man looks kind and gentle, especially in this situation. He won't be hostile at all, we're just chatting."

"I have a feeling that this old man might need some help. Yang Ruirui, you go ahead."

"No need to do anything special, just chat casually, treat him like your elder, ask him why he's been waiting here, and what he needs to do."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruirui thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll go over right now."

"Director Chen, you know so much, you're really amazing."

Upon hearing this assessment, Chen Jingcheng felt somewhat helpless.

Is that amazing?

So, you know a lot now?

Well, he suddenly understood why Yang Ruirui had been working in the supervisory office, which didn't have much business, for the past two years, and why, after so long, she wasn't even very familiar with the work anymore.
