The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 550: You Can’t Do This to Me!

Demoted half a level?

Wouldn’t that strip Cheng Yuan of his senior position?

Shen Manwen was about to explode, but Li Chunsheng gently shook his head.

"Comrade Dafeng, a demotion is out of the question! If we change our orders overnight, won’t we in Ji County become a laughingstock?"

"However, what you said makes sense. Since the Investment Promotion Office operates alongside the Investment Bureau, it indeed wouldn’t be appropriate to set the target too low."

"In your opinion, how many investment targets should we add to the Investment Promotion Office?"

Geng Dafeng revealed a sycophantic smile to Li Chunsheng.

"Secretary, since the Investment Promotion Office is a department parallel to the Investment Bureau, the investment targets must align with the Investment Bureau, which means twenty billion!"

"This way, the two can form a positive and orderly competition, which will greatly benefit the economic construction of our Ji County!"

Li Chunsheng nodded slightly, then turned his head to look at Shen Manwen.

"County Chief, Cheng Yuan was handpicked by you as the director of the Investment Promotion Office. You should have faith in his abilities, right?"

Shen Manwen nodded with a dark face.

"Since the County Chief has nodded, let’s settle it! Both the Investment Bureau and the Investment Promotion Office will have a target of 20 billion! Starting from today! Whoever fails to meet the target, the person primarily responsible will be held accountable first!"

...

Shen Manwen was eager to refuse, for with her current capability, if she initiated a vote, she could certainly overturn Li Chunsheng!

However, if she did that and Li Chunsheng complained to the higher authorities, she would inevitably be accused of being an uncooperative comrade and disrespectful to the leadership.

Also, if she forcibly reduced Cheng Yuan’s target, wouldn’t she be admitting that Cheng Yuan was inferior to Jin Pengfei?

It had to be said that Li Chunsheng really had skills. Despite just arriving without stabilizing his footing, he managed to catch Shen Manwen off guard!

She could only swallow this bitter pill.

After the standing committee meeting ended, Shen Manwen didn’t even greet Li Chunsheng and stormed back to her office.

She immediately took out her phone and called Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan had a tiring night and was sleeping soundly, only to be awakened by the jarring ringtone, and he got out of bed in a terrible mood!

Cheng Yuan instinctively wanted to hang up, but when he saw the caller ID, he sobered up considerably and sat up quickly!

Damn!

How could he have slept until ten-thirty?

What a crazy night it had been!

Worried about waking the two women still deep in sleep, Cheng Yuan quickly got out of bed, dashed to the living room, and then answered the call.

"County Chief, any instructions?"

An irritated chide came from Shen Manwen over the phone, "Cheng Yuan! What are you doing? Why are you only picking up the phone now?"

Cheng Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. It couldn’t be that everything was exposed, could it?

But soon, Cheng Yuan dismissed the thought.

If it were really exposed, with Shen Manwen’s character, she definitely wouldn’t scold him; she’d probably have blocked him already.

Cheng Yuan bluffed smoothly.

"County Chief, I was just on the phone with Director Lin from Qin Island’s Investment Bureau, getting to know some of Qin Island’s policies on investment promotion."

Hearing Cheng Yuan was working, Shen Manwen’s tone softened slightly, "Come to the county government now, I have something to tell you!"

"Okay."

Cheng Yuan washed up hurriedly, not even having time for breakfast.

Fortunately, Gao Meng had already been waiting for him for a while.

"To the county government."

"All right, bro."

Gao Meng didn’t ask why they were going to the county government and simply drove straight there.

Ten minutes later, Cheng Yuan arrived at the County Chief’s office.

Though there were quite a few leaders lined up outside the office, they consciously made way for Cheng Yuan, letting him bypass the line and enter the office directly.

Cheng Yuan gently pushed open the door, finding Shen Manwen reviewing documents with her head down.

Cheng Yuan’s eyes brightened; Sister County Chief was always so beautiful when she was working diligently; it was truly captivating!

Cheng Yuan tiptoed up behind Shen Manwen and gently began massaging her temples.

"County Chief, you wanted to see me?"

A trace of obvious fatigue flashed across Shen Manwen’s face. Recently, it seemed she had been toe-to-toe with Li Chunsheng.

But the control over Ji County was tipping bit by bit in Li Chunsheng’s favor.

After all, Li Chunsheng was the top leader, in charge of appointments, and also a standing committee member of Qin Island!

For the moment, she had been able to stand her ground against Li Chunsheng because Huang Qiusheng hadn’t been transferred yet!

Any County Party Secretary wouldn’t tolerate having an organization department head who was the County Chief’s person!

Li Chunsheng had already submitted a request to Qin Island’s Organization Department to adjust Huang Qiusheng’s position.

In no more than a week, Huang Qiusheng would be transferred!

Naturally, he wouldn’t be demoted according to Li Chunsheng’s wishes, but instead, would likely be promoted to a supervisory position within the provincial government.

Once the new Organization Department head took office, the situation in Ji County would undergo a drastic transformation!

Li Chunsheng would hold an absolute advantage!

"Cheng Yuan, prepare yourself mentally; the Investment Promotion Office has a heavy task this year."

Cheng Yuan had already reviewed the historical reports of Ji County Investment Bureau’s targets, so he wasn’t nervous at all and smiled calmly.

"Two billion or three billion? Surely we can’t have more than the Investment Bureau?"

A bitter smile flickered on Shen Manwen’s face.

"Twenty billion..."

"Twenty billion?"

Cheng Yuan’s voice shot up an octave!

"County Chief, you’re not joking with me, are you?"

"Last year, the entire investment target for Ji County was only five billion! You want to quadruple it in one go?"

"The five billion last year was already the highest peak in history! The environment this year isn’t any better, where are we supposed to get twenty billion from?"

"County Chief, you can’t do this to me!"
