The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 56 - 00: Response Strategy
Cheng Yuan was really stuck between a rock and a hard place.
If he didn’t accept the money, he would definitely offend Jiang Yongchang.
Having offended both the Party Committee Secretary and the Mayor, could he even consider continuing to work there?
Even if Shen Manwen truly protected him, in Lingshan Town he would still have trouble at every turn.
But if he took the money,
in front of Jiang Yongchang, he could basically forget about standing on any principles!
The moment Jiang Yongchang got into trouble, he was sure to be unlucky as well.
For most people, this would be an unsolvable dilemma, a dead end.
Caught between two evils, one could only reluctantly accept the money and become bound to Jiang Yongchang.
This was the helplessness within the system.
Sometimes, it’s not that you want to be corrupt, but some people force you into it, and you have no choice but to be corrupt!
In fact, most civil servants who are new to their jobs are very pure, with a sincere heart, hoping to do some real work for the country and the people.
But the environment doesn’t allow it!
Only when they recognize the reality and understand the officialdom, do they realize how naive they used to be.
Fortunately, Cheng Yuan had been a secretary before and had a shrewd mind; his political wisdom was quite high.
Even in such a seemingly unsolvable situation, Cheng Yuan could find a workaround and a solution.
This was also why Cheng Yuan had arranged for Sun Liwei to inspect the cement plant.
Cheng Yuan pushed the envelope back very seriously.
"Mr. Li, we are all insiders, so let’s not do this. Rest assured, in consideration of the Mayor’s face, I will definitely give priority to your Xinguang Cement Plant."
Li Xinguang certainly did not believe Cheng Yuan’s "lies."
If this guy refused to take the money, it meant he didn’t want to help!
Li Xinguang did not take the envelope but turned his head to look at Jiang Yongchang with a pleading gaze.
The smile on Jiang Yongchang’s face gradually congealed.
"Xiao Cheng, haven’t I always treated you well? This is the first time I’ve asked you for a favor, and you’re not giving me any face?"
Cheng Yuan apologized with a smile, "Mayor, how could I dare not give you face? If not for your multiple endorsements, I’d probably have been thoroughly taken down by Ma Guorong a long time ago. Don’t be anxious, I’ve already arranged for Liwei to inspect the cement plant."
Liwei inspecting the cement plant?
Jiang Yongchang, with high political wisdom, quickly understood Cheng Yuan’s roundabout approach.
This little fox was holding his nephew hostage!
If his brother-in-law supplied problematic cement, his nephew would be the first person responsible!
But he couldn’t say that Cheng Yuan was not giving him face.
After all, Cheng Yuan had indeed offered up the cement deal!
Li Xinguang, without much thought, became excited!
Liwei was his brother-in-law’s nephew, and their relationship was very good; he would surely side with him!
Li Xinguang hurriedly picked up his glass, "Mayor Cheng, I like straightforward people like you! I must toast you a drink! I’ll finish mine, and you can do as you like."
Cheng Yuan gave face to Li Xinguang, lifting his glass and downing it in one gulp.
"Good! That’s spirited! Mayor Cheng, you’ve helped so much, you must accept this little token, I can’t break the rules."
Li Xinguang pushed the envelope forward again.
Jiang Yongchang also joined in to help.
"Xiao Cheng, Xinguang is very tight-lipped, just take it!"
With Jiang Yongchang speaking personally, Cheng Yuan couldn’t refuse.
But he still had a countermeasure.
Cheng Yuan reached for the envelope and immediately stuffed it deep into the cleavage between Wang Na’s large breasts!
Li Xinguang, Jiang Yongchang, and Wang Na were all baffled by Cheng Yuan’s move.
Li Xinguang asked hesitantly, "Mayor Cheng, what do you mean by this?"
"Miss Wang provided excellent service, so consider this her service fee."
Service fee?
Even if Wang Na had gold-plated parts, she wasn’t worth that much!
This Mr. Cheng clearly didn’t want the money!
Li Xinguang signaled to Wang Na, who hurriedly took out the envelope and said in a sweet voice, "Mayor Cheng, this is too much for me to accept!"
Cheng Yuan grinned, "The money’s already been given to you. You can do whatever you like with it, just don’t give it back to me."
This...
Wang Na was stunned.
So was Li Xinguang. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.
Cheng Yuan did a favor but didn’t accept money, which left Li Xinguang feeling very strange and insecure.
Li Xinguang turned an inquiring gaze to Jiang Yongchang.
Jiang Yongchang, much more wily than Li Xinguang, grabbed the envelope, and stuffed it back into Wang Na’s cleavage.
"Since it’s service fee from Xiao Cheng, Miss Wang, you should accept it with confidence! However, having accepted such a high service fee, you must provide corresponding services."
Provide corresponding services?
As Cheng Yuan was so young and handsome with significant authority, of course, she was very willing!
But Wang Na was very aware of her role; she didn’t respond immediately but turned to look at Li Xinguang for guidance.
To be honest, Li Xinguang found it a bit hard to let go.
It had not been easy for him to recruit such an impressive and energetic little secretary.
He had spent a full three hundred thousand to win her over!
He hadn’t had enough fun yet!
And now he had to let Cheng Yuan have his turn?
But thinking about the project, Li Xinguang could do nothing but hold his nose and agree.
"Na Na, did you hear what my brother-in-law said? You must provide corresponding services! No, you must provide services that exceed the value! Use all your power to serve Mayor Cheng well!"
