The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 288 - 0: Profound Background

Cheng Yuan snorted coldly, looking at Zheng Hongxuan with undisguised contempt.

"You? Coveting Qianmo? You should look in the mirror and see just how virtuous you really are!"

Zheng Hongxuan’s eyes were nearly shooting fire, and if he had been able to beat Cheng Yuan, he would have definitely fought him there and then.

"Can I go now?"

"Get lost! From now on, never show your face in front of me again! Otherwise, every time I see you, you’ll get a beating."

Zheng Hongxuan did not talk back, knowing that in terms of personal courage and fighting ability, he truly was no match for Cheng Yuan.

But the world isn’t that simple.

Once he was out the door, he had a thousand methods to kill Cheng Yuan!

Under the contemptuous gaze of Cheng Yuan and Jiang Xinyu, Zheng Hongxuan walked out of the treatment room with extreme humiliation.

He had lost all desire to play around, bursting into an empty room in a fury, pulling out his mobile phone and dialing a number.

"Dig up some dirt on someone for me, from Ji County, named Cheng Yuan, probably a civil servant."

"Right away, Young Master Zheng."

It did not take long for the information to come back.

"Young Master Zheng, the person you asked me to look into has been found. Cheng Yuan, vice director of the County Government Office, head of the Secretariat Second Division, currently in charge of the Weidong River project."

Vice director of the County Government Office?

Zheng Hongxuan curled his lips in disdain. A mere deputy section-level official dared to hit him, an associate division-level official?

"What’s his family background? Do his parents work in finance on Wall Street?"

"Young Master Zheng, where did you get that information?"

"According to my investigation, Cheng Yuan’s father, Cheng Hongbing, used to be a supply and marketing cooperative manager, but now that it has gone bankrupt, he and Cheng Yuan’s mother, Wu Xiuli, have started a clothing processing factory."

"How big is it?"

"To be exact, it can hardly be called a clothing processing factory, it’s more like a clothing workshop, with a total of twenty people, all rural women. They do subcontracting for Jifa Clothing Group, earning some hard-earned money."

Zheng Hongxuan was utterly speechless. He had been miserably fooled by that bastard Cheng Yuan!

It seems that the offshore financial company account that Cheng Yuan showed him that day was also a sham!

"Fine, I’ve got it."

Zheng Hongxuan hung up the phone and then dialed the number of Lin Jiangnan, the organization department head of Qin Island.

Li Zhengqing had become the organization department head through the Zheng family’s connections, and his son was also married into the Zheng family.

Li Zhengqing answered the phone with eager warmth.

"Hongxuan, what can I do for you?"

Zheng Hongxuan did not waste time on pleasantries, getting straight to the point.

"Uncle Li, Cheng Yuan, the vice director of Ji County Government Office, is utterly corrupt and has a perverse character, assaulting senior leaders. A scoundrel like this should be quickly removed from the civil service."

Li Zhengqing did not even ask for a reason, agreeing immediately.

"Hongxuan, hang on a minute. I’ll report this situation to the organization department of Ji County." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Soon after, Li Zhengqing called back.

"Hongxuan, this is a bit tricky to handle."

Zheng Hongxuan’s face darkened.

"Uncle Li, you are the respected organization department head of Qin Island. Dealing with a minor deputy section-level official should be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. How could it be difficult?"

"Hongxuan, this Cheng Yuan is County Magistrate Manwen’s confidant! Manwen County Magistrate now controls Ji County single-handedly, and the Ji County organization department has to follow her lead."

Zheng Hongxuan’s expression grew serious.

"The County Magistrate Manwen you mentioned is not Shen Manwen, is it?"

"Yes, it’s Shen Manwen."

Zheng Hongxuan’s face turned extremely ugly. Shen Manwen was the big sister of their compound. When he was young, he was often beaten by her until he was looking for his teeth all over the floor!

The most annoying part was that Old Master Shen was half a rank higher than his own grandfather, so he always had to swallow his grievances.

Fortunately, Old Master Shen had passed away.

However, Shen Manwen’s grand-uncles and great-aunts, as well as Old Master Shen’s secretary Lin Jiangnan, had all grown in stature.

With three full minister-level heavyweights from Shen Family’s lineage, Shen Manwen’s father also had a very good chance of taking one more step forward to become a full minister-level heavyweight.

The current Shen Family was still a force that could not be ignored in any respect.

Moreover, Old Master Song, Shen Manwen’s maternal grandfather, was still alive.

"Damn, why is this bastard so lucky to have earned Shen Manwen’s trust?"

"It is said that it was because of Director Cheng that Shen Manwen broke free from double designation constraints and secured the position of county chief."

Zheng Hongxuan sighed deeply.

"Well, let this guy jump around a bit more until Shen Manwen leaves Ji County!"

Li Zhengqing said consolingly, "Hongxuan, you really don’t need to be so disheartened, nor do you need to fear Shen Manwen so much."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"The province wants to get involved in the county. There’s a city in the middle, and there has to be a very strong reason to intervene directly."

"Liu Song and Jin Zhanpeng, these two local tyrants, both dared to make a move against Shen Manwen, nearly disqualifying her from the county chief through double designation."

"If you make a move, you can definitely take down Shen Manwen."

"Of course, Hongxuan, you need not take down Shen Manwen. That would offend the Shen Family outright and the loss would outweigh the gain. You just need to take out Cheng Yuan."

Zheng Hongxuan smiled bitterly, "Uncle Li, you’ve said so much it’s as if you’ve said nothing. With Shen Manwen covering for him, do you think you can take down Cheng Yuan?"

Li Zhengqing smiled mysteriously.

"Naturally, I can’t take down Cheng Yuan myself. But what about the new secretary of the Ji County Party Committee? He has the ability to take down Cheng Yuan, doesn’t he?"
