The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 134 - 0: The Original Intention Remains Unchanged
Cheng Yuan sneered dismissively, "One hundred thousand?"
Cheng Yuan gently shook his head.
Pan Minghe’s expression turned slightly more serious.
"Could it be one million?"
Cheng Yuan still shook his head, calmly saying, "Ten million! While others pick their daughters-in-law from among thousands, Baoer is one in a million, deserving to be chosen from among tens of millions!"
Ten million?
Pan Minghe was astounded, sizing up Cheng Yuan over and over, thinking that this young man really dared to boast!
"If I’m not mistaken, you’re a public servant, right? Does your family run a business?"
"My father was the manager of a supply and marketing cooperative, which has now gone bankrupt. He runs a small business of his own, and my mother is an employee of a state-owned enterprise who is about to retire."
"Then how do you dare to promise a ten million dowry?"
Cheng Yuan glanced at Pan Bao’er, said nothing, some things are better not known to her.
Pan Minghe indifferently ordered, "Bao’er, go prepare a fruit platter."
"Okay."
After Pan Bao’er left, Cheng Yuan lowered his voice and said, "I’ll give uncle several addresses, and for this ten million dowry, uncle himself will have to collect it."
Pan Minghe’s gaze gradually grew colder.
"Boy, you really have ulterior motives! Are you thinking of getting me locked up and then taking over my daughter? I’ve washed my hands clean of that life because I didn’t want to be in jail and unable to attend my daughter’s wedding on the day she gets married!"
Cheng Yuan replied gently, "Uncle, rest assured, the owners of these addresses I’ve given you definitely won’t dare call the police, the risk is zero. If uncle doesn’t dare to collect it, you can pass your skills of thievery to me, and I will get it."
Pan Minghe looked at Cheng Yuan with a skeptical eye, unable to see through him.
"Don’t talk in riddles, what’s this really about?"
"Uncle, knowing too much can sometimes be a bad thing, I’m not telling you to protect you. You just need to know that the money comes from questionable sources."
Pan Minghe’s pupils contracted sharply, he finally understood Cheng Yuan’s meaning!
The addresses Cheng Yuan provided must be where corrupt officials hid their illicit money!
Those corrupt officials, upon being robbed, certainly wouldn’t dare to report it.
Because they simply couldn’t explain the source of their massive wealth.
"I understand! I’ll accept this dowry! Give me an account number, I will keep ten million for myself, and I’ll transfer everything above that amount to you."
Cheng Yuan gave several addresses.
They were all noted in Ma Guorong’s notebook.
Not only Ma Guorong’s hiding places were listed, but the locations where Liu Song and Jin Zhanpeng hid their dirty money were also recorded.
"Don’t transfer the money directly to me, I will find someone to start a financial securities company. Uncle can transfer the money to the company’s account."
Pan Minghe looked deeply at Cheng Yuan.
"Seeing how much you cherish your reputation, your ambitions must be quite high indeed."
Cheng Yuan nodded frankly.
"Since I have stepped onto this career path, I must climb as high as possible! Otherwise, others can order you around or make you take the blame for anything. Only by climbing high enough can you have the power to protect yourself, control your own destiny, and safeguard your family and friends."
Pan Minghe nodded in deep agreement, having profoundly experienced in prison the truth that one rank higher in government can crush a person!
Having a son-in-law who is a high-ranking official, he would have prestige wherever he went!
With this thought, Pan Minghe’s dissatisfaction with Cheng Yuan dissipated rapidly.
"Alright, you pass as my son-in-law by the skin of your teeth! Once Bao’er is of age, you two get your marriage certificate."
Cheng Yuan, however, did not immediately respond, instead he picked up a tea cup and took a light sip.
"Uncle, let’s not beat around the bush, I don’t want to deceive you. Let’s not rush into getting a marriage certificate, let’s see how things go."
Pan Minghe’s face darkened!
"What? You plan to eat your fill and then deny responsibility? You really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?"
"Uncle, don’t get angry, listen to me first."
"Fine, speak up, I don’t believe you can talk your way out of this one!"
"If Bao’er has graduated from university and I haven’t been promoted to a division-level official, I will marry Bao’er immediately. But if I have been promoted to division-level, then I cannot marry her. I ask that uncle please understand."
Pan Minghe inhaled sharply!
Was this young man’s ambition really so great?
A division-level official was a high position equivalent to a county head in Ji County – a voice undenied!
He completely understood the meaning of Cheng Yuan’s words. If after five years he hadn’t reached division-level, his career prospects would be sealed.
At retirement, attaining division-level benefits would be quite the achievement.
But if, after five years, he had reached division-level, he would have crossed a significant threshold!
His future would be boundless!
He couldn’t possibly marry a thief’s daughter; he would need to marry a woman who could assist his career, someone with a substantial background.
"Good! Let’s agree on this!"
"If by the time Bao’er graduates from university, you haven’t reached division-level, you will immediately get the marriage certificate and marry Bao’er!"
"If you have reached division-level, Bao’er won’t cling to you. You can marry whoever you want and have as many women as you wish."
"As long as you make proper arrangements for Bao’er, I have no objections."
Cheng Yuan said gravely, "Uncle, be assured that no matter where I go, my intentions towards Bao’er will not change."
A glint flickered through Pan Minghe’s eyes!
"A man’s words are like ghosts that deceive; I trust my blade far more."
"If one day, Bao’er comes to me crying, saying that you have treated her poorly..."
"No matter what position you hold, I will be sure to visit you in the quiet of the night for a proper chat."
