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

Liu Qing just looked at Chen Jingcheng quietly, her face showing no ruthlessness, but rather indifference, as if everything was under her control.

His tone was calm, as if he were stating his decision rather than discussing it.

That kind of domineering aura is very intimidating.

Chen Jingcheng immediately heard the threat from Liu Qing's mouth.

"Aunt."

However, as soon as the word "Auntie" was uttered, Liu Qing shook her head indifferently and said, "It's better not to call me Auntie. You can call me Dean Liu, just like everyone else."

Liu Qing is the vice president of the county hospital, and everyone addresses him as President Liu.

But the change from calling her "auntie" to "director" itself represents an attitude, a separation.

This represents a complete severance of ties between her, her entire family, and Chen Jingcheng.

Chen Jingcheng had considered the fickle nature of human relationships and knew that Liu Qing and the others disliked him, and even strongly opposed Wang Yueyue's relationship with him.

However, right after he broke up with Wang Yueyue, she came to his door with a look of disgust, trying to distance herself from him as if she would become a nuisance and increase their dislike if she didn't distance herself completely for even a second longer.

Chen Jingcheng was very unhappy with this feeling.

Looking at Liu Qing, and at Wang Yueyue and Lin Zhongfei who had disappeared into the rain, Chen Jingcheng's emotions became indifferent.

"Dean Liu, you're overthinking it. I, Chen Jingcheng, am not the kind of person who keeps pestering others."

"Since Wang Yueyue broke up with me and found someone suitable, I no longer want to investigate when it happened or what she did."

"We've broken up, that's it. Don't worry, as long as Wang Yueyue doesn't contact me, I won't take the initiative to contact her."

"I, Chen Jingcheng, may be poor and not very capable, but I have integrity and self-respect."

"Is this all Dean Liu wanted to hear? Is there anything else? If not, I'm going home now."

Looking at Chen Jingcheng, Liu Qing sensed the humiliation he had suffered, as well as his resentment and anger, but she didn't take it to heart at all.

Young people, you'll learn through trials and tribulations that some things, once endured, can last a lifetime.

"Chen Jingcheng, I know you're unhappy and not happy, but you have to understand, this is fate."

"To put your mind at ease, I don't mind simply telling you the difference between you and Lin Zhongfei."

"You already know who my father and Yueyue's father are, and what their circumstances are."

Do you know anything about Lin Zhongfei's family background?

Liu Qing picked up her coffee, took a sip, and chuckled, "Lin Zhongfei's father is a division-level cadre in our city. I won't tell you his exact position, but you, being someone within the system, should understand what that means."

"Lin Zhongfei's mother runs a company with assets of over ten million."

"Given the conditions that Lin Zhongfei can get as a parent, Chen Jingcheng, you probably couldn't achieve that even if you tried your whole life."

"Not to mention, Lin Zhongfei's family background is actually much more than that."

Looking at Chen Jingcheng's pale face, Liu Qing seemed quite satisfied. She could have refrained from doing such a blow to Chen Jingcheng's self-esteem, but since she had done it, she wanted to strike him thoroughly. Only by striking him so thoroughly could she make Chen Jingcheng understand that he was not worthy of Wang Yueyue, nor could he, and should not, entangle himself with Wang Yueyue.

Otherwise, Chen Jingcheng's situation wouldn't be a question of whether he can turn things around.

She believed Chen Jingcheng would understand how easily a division-level official could destroy a newly employed township civil servant.

And a company owner worth tens of millions doesn't need to personally deal with someone if he wants to.

The words may be harsh, and the situation may not be pleasant, but this is reality, and it is incredibly cruel.

"Chen Jingcheng, for your own good, for the good of your parents and family, stay away from Yueyue."

"This is my advice to you."

After saying that, Liu Qing left the Western restaurant with light steps.

As Chen Jingcheng looked at the rain outside the window and watched Liu Qing get into the car and leave, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

But that smile looked bitter, and his eyes were filled with sadness as well as intense anger.

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng's dignity was completely shattered, and his hands clenched so tightly that they almost bled.

Finally, Chen Jingcheng slowly stood up, his face returning to calm. He muttered a sentence to himself, seemingly to Liu Qing and Wang Yueyue, who could no longer hear him.

"I will make something of myself. Sooner or later, I will definitely make something of myself."

"Perhaps I am just an ant in your eyes now, unworthy of respect, ignored, as if you could crush me with a mere step. But I, this ant, will climb upwards step by step!"

"One day, I will reach a height that you cannot even see, even if you look up at me."

"I can do it! For my parents, for myself, and so that I will never again be looked down upon and bullied like this! I, Chen Jingcheng, will definitely have that day!"

After saying these words to himself, as if giving himself a goal and an explanation, Chen Jingcheng left the Western restaurant. In the pouring rain, without a raincoat, he rode his dilapidated bicycle through the crowds and the astonished looks of others. Even though the rain soaked him to the bone and obscured his vision, he still rode with great enjoyment, even letting out roars that seemed to be filled with resentment.

The rain stopped quickly, but Chen Jingcheng didn't go home immediately. He was worried that his parents would notice his current mood and worry about him too.

Moreover, he couldn't hide this matter, nor did he intend to.

However, it's not a good day to talk about these things.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Jingcheng finally entered the food factory's residential compound and returned home.

His parents hadn't rested yet. After casually saying a few words with a smile, Chen Jingcheng said he was tired and needed to rest well so he could face his new job with a fresh perspective.

Back in his room, Chen Jingcheng tossed and turned, unable to sleep. But it was all set in stone, and nothing could be changed.

Monday has arrived.

Chen Jingcheng got up early in the morning to wash up and dress himself neatly.

Today is the day he starts his new job.

The County Government Office, as the central agency of the county, directly serves the county head and deputy county head, making it an extremely core unit.

The Linchuan County Government Office is located in a large compound in the new administrative district. It consists of a main building, five stories high, and two auxiliary buildings on the left and right, which house the offices of various units. Although not tall, they are extremely imposing.

The county party committee leaders and county government leaders all work in the main building, and the first floor houses some departments of the government office and the county party committee office.

The second floor houses the offices of the county government and the offices of the county government leaders.

The third floor houses the offices of the county party committee and the offices of the standing committee members of the county party committee.

As for the fourth and fifth floors, they contain several conference rooms.

Chen Jingcheng was going to the second floor of the main building. First, he needed to report to Gao Wentao, the director of the government office.

Only then will there be specific work arrangements.

With a mix of trepidation and anticipation for the future, Chen Jingcheng walked into the county government building with confidence and joy.
