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

After arriving at the village office, Chen Jingcheng looked around and found no surveillance cameras or anything like that, at least not inside the building.

So, what do you want to do?

Giving yourself away for free?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Looking at the huge sum of money that was being forced into his hands, Chen Jingcheng said in a deep voice, "Village Chief Yang, I hope you will have some self-respect."

Do you know what you're doing right now?

"One hundred and fifty thousand yuan in cash, this is bribery, and it's a huge amount."

"Please take it back, otherwise I will have to hand this money over to the disciplinary committee."

Seeing that Chen Jingcheng showed no respect whatsoever, Village Chief Yang wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Director Chen, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

"If you hadn't told us, we wouldn't have said anything. You're a leader in the county, and you have a good relationship with the county head. We just want to get closer to you and have more contact with you in the future."

"You can rest assured and accept the money."

At this point, Village Chief Yang Gui looked Chen Jingcheng up and down, then smiled and said, "Director Chen, I know your family's financial situation is average. Of course, I haven't done any investigation on you. It's just that your clothes are very ordinary. Except for your coat, which is a few hundred yuan, even your leather shoes are only a few dozen yuan a pair."

"Director Chen, this is not in line with your status."

"Besides, why did you enter the system to work? Isn't it just to earn more money? As for those words about serving the people, we can just say them and listen to them."

"Besides, even if we are to serve the people, we must first serve ourselves."

"Here, please accept this money."

"Let's be friends."

After Yang Gui finished speaking, he tried to force the money into Chen Jingcheng's hand.

Chen Jingcheng gritted his teeth and, unable to refuse, took the file folder. Looking at the debts inside, he said in an icy voice, "Village Chief Yang, are you trying to get me to be lenient with you? What else do you want to do? Tell me all at once."

"However, let me make this clear: if you don't take this 105,000 yuan, I will definitely hand it over to the Discipline Inspection Commission. At the same time, I will also truthfully report today's situation to County Chief Li Feitu!"

"Village Chief Yang, and all of you, no one showed up at 3:30 PM on a weekday!"

"A young man you asked to help has arrived, and all your village officials got completely drunk on the first day of the mobilization meeting!"

"This isn't just a matter of how egregious the nature of the offense is; coupled with your repeated bribery of the inspection team, and the enormous sums involved, you've compounded your mistakes!"

"I would suggest that the county set up an investigation team to specifically investigate your Yangshulin Village."

"Besides suspecting that the money you used to bribe me was public funds, I will also truthfully report that you have ignored an elderly man named Yang Gen who is frail and sick for many years, and that you have refused to apply for subsistence allowance for him despite his eligibility, due to personal grudges."

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng spoke with unwavering conviction, radiating an aura of justice.

However, in the eyes of Yang Gui and his group, it was like a laughing stock.

Yang Gui showed no sign of nervousness, but looked at Chen Jingcheng and smiled, "Director Chen, why bother? There's no one else here. Even if we make a big show of ourselves, the leaders won't hear us."

"Besides, Director Chen, can you even explain yourself clearly?"

Just then, people suddenly appeared outside the village office.

Han Wei, the Party Secretary of Xiaoshiqiao Town, walked in laughing. He was accompanied by several staff members, at least two of whom immediately began taking photos of the scene, especially of Chen Jingcheng.

Chen Jingcheng was still holding a file folder in his hand, and the banknotes inside were already showing.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Director Chen, I'm really sorry I'm late."

"I didn't expect you to come to our township for an inspection on your very first day. I rushed over as soon as I heard Yang Gui's report."

At this point, Secretary Han seemed to have just noticed the file folder in Chen Jingcheng's hand. His expression suddenly changed, and he said awkwardly, "What, what's going on here?"

"Director Chen, you've got quite a bit of money in your hands."

"Why does this file folder have the Yangshulin Village stamp? What's going on here?"

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng finally understood.

It was a conspiracy, indeed a conspiracy.

It was a conspiracy against himself, but in fact, it was a conspiracy directly targeting County Magistrate Li Feitu.

The first day after the mobilization meeting, or even the first noon and the first afternoon.

Chen Jingcheng, the secretary who was personally selected and promoted by County Magistrate Li Feitu, is now the head of the General Affairs Section, the director of the Supervision Office, the deputy director of the County Government Office, and also the leader of the inspection team!

They accept huge bribes, intending to turn a blind eye to those who violate discipline, and there may even be rumors that they are demanding huge bribes.

Whether it was receiving or demanding, if this matter gets out, it will be a huge scandal.

Even if Chen Jingcheng eventually made it clear that Li Feitu was protecting him to the death, without solid evidence, Chen Jingcheng's reputation was still ruined.

Most importantly, these kinds of things are hard to explain.

Now, only Chen Jingcheng is here; all the other group members are gone.

In this situation, how can you explain things clearly to so many other people with just one mouth?

Chen Jingcheng's scandal is Li Feitu's scandal.

Based on this alone, Chen Jingcheng will be in trouble, and Li Feitu's hard-earned authority will immediately vanish into thin air.

Even Chen Jingcheng, whom you, Li Feitu, personally promoted and appointed, ran into problems immediately. Don't you, Li Feitu, have any problems?

This is a huge problem!

In an instant, Chen Jingcheng understood all the causes and consequences of it all.

Deputy village chief Yang Shi and his group were merely executors, as was village chief Yang Gui. However, Han Wei, the Party Secretary of Xiaoshiqiao Town, who openly and unabashedly took photos of himself holding a file folder, was probably the true instigator.

Even if he did it, it might not be because he felt he had an opportunity to curry favor with Secretary Zhao. There are probably other people behind him giving him instructions.

It's a dead end!

This puts Chen Jingcheng in a deadly predicament, leaving him with no way to defend himself.

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng felt utterly heartbroken.

I felt both angry and sad.

However, they did not lose any fighting spirit.

"Secretary Han, you've come at the right time. The village officials of Yangshulin Village defied the rules and regulations, got completely drunk at noon, and also offered me a huge bribe."

"I have already stated that if they do not take the money back, I will hand it over to the disciplinary committee for handling."

However, as soon as Chen Jingcheng finished speaking, Yang Gui's expression changed, and he sneered, "Director Chen, we can't really turn against each other as quickly as flipping through a book, can we?"

"Isn't this the bribe you demanded?"

"We, the people present, can all testify that this money is the bribe you demanded from us because of our disciplinary violations."

"However, Director Chen, you're being a bit too greedy. One hundred and five thousand yuan! All the cadres in our village committee combined don't earn that much in a year."

"Now that Secretary Han has found out, you're turning around and blaming us. Director Chen, is that how you behave?"
