The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 71 - 00: Your Greeting Might Not Work

Liu Song had long been dissatisfied with Shen Manwen being parachuted in, and he was somewhat tempted by the proposals of Geng Dafeng and Jin Zhanpeng.

Liu Song mused for a moment, "It’s possible to take her down, but we need to be tactful. After all, we still haven’t figured out Shen Manwen’s backing."

Geng Dafeng laughed, "Secretary, there’s really no need to be so cautious. We are not aiming to kill Shen Manwen, just to drive her away. A rough approach is fine. At worst, when Shen Manwen settles the scores in autumn, we’ll provide her with some scapegoats to vent her anger on."

Liu Song raised an eyebrow.

Geng Dafeng was right. The reason Shen Manwen had parachuted in was to take over as County Chief after the elections.

If something unexpected happened to her and she couldn’t become County Chief, she would surely seek a transfer rather than waste her years in Ji County.

Therefore, the rougher the method, the better!

It would allow Shen Manwen and those behind her to find flaws to turn the situation around, thus not thoroughly enraging the bigwigs behind Shen Manwen.

Liu Song said gravely, "Alright, let’s assign this to Dafeng. Later, find a few reliable people to vent some frustration on Shen Manwen."

Geng Dafeng nodded, "Yes, Secretary, I will arrange everything clearly."

Ma Guotao’s pupils flickered slightly as he suddenly stood up.

"Secretary, Director Geng, I think there is no need to sacrifice our own people as scapegoats for Shen Manwen, even if we can find opportunities to reinstate them later; it would delay too much time and affect their careers. I have a good candidate on my side."

The three men were startled, their eyes turning to Ma Guotao with interest.

"Old Ma, let’s hear it. Who do you think is suitable?"

Without beating around the bush, Ma Guotao said ominously, "Leaders, what do you think of Cheng Yuan?"

Cheng Yuan?

Geng Dafeng shook his head without thinking.

"Old Ma, don’t come up with such bad ideas. If Shen Manwen allowed Cheng Yuan to be the general contractor, this guy is definitely Shen Manwen’s loyal follower! Including him might lead to complications."

Jin Zhanpeng shrugged, clearly sharing Geng Dafeng’s thoughts.

Only Liu Song knew some inside information and smiled, "Dafeng, be patient. I actually think that Cheng Yuan is a good choice."

Geng Dafeng and Jin Zhanpeng were startled, casting puzzled glances at Liu Song.

"Secretary, why? Is there something we don’t know?"

Liu Song smiled mysteriously.

"Ma Guorong reported to me that he put Cheng Yuan in charge of the Weidong River project just to make him a scapegoat."

"Cheng Yuan took on the project before getting to know Shen Manwen; he is definitely not her die-hard loyalist."

"Moreover, I’ve heard that within just a few days, Shen Manwen kicked Cheng Yuan out of her office four times, causing a stir throughout the county-government."

The expressions on Geng Dafeng and Jin Zhanpeng’s faces became somewhat peculiar.

"I’ve also heard that Shen Manwen explosively cursed in her office recently because of Cheng Yuan, right?"

"I’ve heard about it too. It seems, Cheng Yuan truly is the best scapegoat."

...

Ji County Hospital.

Cheng Yuan was unaware he had just become part of a new conspiracy.

Yan Xinyu had completed Cheng Yuan’s discharge procedures, assisting him as he walked out of the ward.

Cheng Yuan said with a bitter smile, "Xinyu, I’m already well. You don’t have to treat me like I’m seriously ill, you’ve been looking after me so much these past few days that I’ve almost lost my ability to look after myself."

Yan Xinyu’s voice was coquettish, "Losing the ability to look after yourself would be good; I could take care of you for a lifetime."

Cheng Yuan: "..."

"Xinyu, your holiday is over now. Go back to work. I need to see our Secretary Ma."

"Alright..."

Yan Xinyu didn’t linger and turned to report to the cardiology department.

Meanwhile, Cheng Yuan went to Ma Guorong’s office.

Ma Guorong had been injured more severely than Cheng Yuan, with several fractures, needing at least three months in hospital.

Ma Guorong’s arms and legs were in casts, as disheveled as could be.

However, at the moment, his mood was quite good.

One of his mistresses, Jiang Xinyu, had come to see him.

Jiang Xinyu wore the black silk skirt that Ma Guorong liked best, she sliced an apple and stuffed it into Ma Guorong’s mouth, saying softly, "Old Ma, is the apple tasty?"

Ma Guorong nodded repeatedly.

"It’s delicious! Xinyu, you’re the best, you know how to pity me!"

With that, Ma Guorong turned his head and kissed Jiang Xinyu.

A well-hidden look of disgust flashed in Jiang Xinyu’s eyes as she cooed, "Old Ma, I heard that an interim command post is going to be established for the Weidong River project, and about the procurement of office supplies..."

The expression on Ma Guorong’s face became somewhat unnatural; the Weidong River project was entirely controlled by Cheng Yuan; he couldn’t get involved at all!

But he couldn’t lose face in front of his woman, so he had to boast.

Anyway, as a prestigious Party Secretary, was there anything he couldn’t arrange?

"That’s easy to handle, I’ll just make a call."

Just then, a very annoying voice came from outside the door.

"Secretary Ma, the Weidong River project is led by the municipal government; your call might not be very effective."

Ma Guorong and Jiang Xinyu turned, seeing Cheng Yuan walking into the ward with a smile.

Ma Guorong retorted angrily, "Cheng Yuan, who do you think you are? What makes you think my call won’t be effective?"

Cheng Yuan answered seriously, "I’m nobody special, just a minor project lead on the Weidong River project, that’s all."

Ma Guorong was so choked up that his face turned red and his neck swelled!

Cheng Yuan turned to look at Jiang Xinyu, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes!

Jiang Xinyu was indeed Ma Guorong’s most beautiful mistress, truly spectacular!

If he could also put a green hat on Ma Guorong, that would be even more thrilling!

"Boss Jiang, regarding the business related to the Weidong River project, it’s better to find me than to look for Secretary Ma. You have my phone number, let’s talk over the phone later."
