The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 162 - 0: Inspect Finances

Last night’s reward, the treasure?

Shen Manwen’s pretty face instantly turned bright red!

This bastard!

He must have done something unspeakable with her panties!

And he has the nerve to offer to return them to her?

She wouldn’t want something that had been tainted!

Logically, Shen Manwen should have immediately refused without consideration, and even loudly scolded him, possibly even telling Cheng Yuan to get out!

But, for some unfathomable reason, Shen Manwen found herself nodding, trying to keep her tone as calm as possible, "Then find some time to return it to me."

Cheng Yuan was overjoyed, this had been a bold test!

It was also the only way he could think of to enter Shen Manwen’s home alone.

He hadn’t expected it to actually work!

In fact, he had braced himself for a scolding.

Cheng Yuan managed to contain his excitement as he said, "County Chief, I’ll go to supervise the Weidong River project at Lingshan. After work, I’ll bring the treasure to you."

Shen Manwen didn’t understand what was happening to her; her heart was pounding chaotically.

She feigned impatience, waving her hand dismissively, "If there’s nothing else, you can go."

After Cheng Yuan left, Shen Manwen’s calm and composed expression completely vanished.

She subconsciously patted her own ample chest.

Had she gone mad?

To actually agree to let Cheng Yuan enter her home after work?

What if Cheng Yuan became a beast and took her for the entire night?

Was it because Cheng Yuan had become a pig-headed figure while rescuing her?

Or because he brilliantly helped her secure the County Chief position?

Shen Manwen furrowed her brows deeply, her mind a tangled mess.

Could it be that she had fallen for this bastard?

The moment this thought emerged, it scared Shen Manwen big time!

Impossible!

How could she fancy such a beast?

At most it was gratitude or perhaps a tiny bit of admiration, right?

However, she no longer thought about sending him to work the sewing machine in jail.

...

Cheng Yuan did not know that Shen Manwen was deeply immersed in self-doubt; he was already on the bus to Lingshan.

On the bus, Cheng Yuan called Xue Yang.

"Brother Yang, I’m now in charge of the Weidong River project. If I take the bus every day, the flexibility is too poor. Do you have any friends who deal in used cars?"

"Yes, when you’re back in Ji County, I’ll take you to have a look," Xue Yang replied.

"Okay, also, now that you’re at City Gate Police Station, is everything arranged on Lingshan’s end? It’s difficult for me to do my job without the local police station’s support," Cheng Yuan continued.

"A Yuan, rest assured, all is taken care of. We’re in transition at the station, not too involved. The new instructor, Wang Zhe, was recommended by me. Just give him a shout whenever you need anything!" Xue Yang reassured.

"Alright, thanks," Cheng Yuan said.

"Fuck! A Yuan, are you cursing me? You helped me become the chief of City Gate Police Station and I haven’t even thanked you yet!" Xue Yang retorted.

Cheng Yuan didn’t bother with false modesty; it was Shen Manwen’s initiative, but if he hadn’t made the recommendation, would Shen Manwen have known which ghost Xue Yang was?

When Cheng Yuan arrived in Lingshan Town, it was already ten o’clock. He didn’t notify anyone and silently went to inspect the Weidong River construction site.

Cheng Yuan was relieved to see that Yang Lei was genuinely reliable, constantly patrolling the site.

Judging from the mud splattered on his shoes and trousers, it was clear that the kid wasn’t just pretending—he really had been walking around the site all morning.

Seeing Cheng Yuan from afar, Yang Lei’s eyes brightened, and he sprinted over, bowing slightly to Cheng Yuan.

"Director Cheng, you’re here?"

Cheng Yuan, with his hands clasped behind his back, nodded slightly, exuding the presence of a ’big leader’.

"Little Yang, how’s everything at the construction site?"

"Reporting to Director Cheng, under my strict supervision, the construction team strictly follows the national standards."

"Good, keep up the good work! The County Chief won’t let you down."

"Thank you, Director Cheng, for the support! I wish to keep working under you!"

Cheng Yuan gently patted Yang Lei’s shoulder. The kid was reliable in handling tasks and had a keen eye; he was definitely someone who could be trained as the first member of his team.

After offering a few words of encouragement, Cheng Yuan visited the Finance Department for ’inspection’.

Zhang Renjie, caught up in Ma Guotao’s case, had been taken away for investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Zhang Qian was temporarily acting as the Director of the Party and Government Office.

She knew very well that whether or not she could remove the word ’temporary’ from her title relied heavily on Cheng Yuan!

So she had to take very good care of Cheng Yuan!

Upon receiving news of Cheng Yuan’s visit to Finance, Zhang Qian made thorough preparations.

Of course, Zhang Qian wasn’t cooking the books.

All accounts were managed transparently and clearly by her.

What she prepared was a battle robe!

Zhang Qian sent all the staff of the Party and Government Office out.

When Cheng Yuan entered the Party and Government Office, the vast space was empty.

If Cheng Yuan hadn’t been very familiar with the layout of the Party and Government Office, he might have thought he had gone to the wrong place!

Just as Cheng Yuan was puzzled, the door to the inner office was pushed open.

A woman, dressed in an imperial robe, wearing a crown, and exuding a regal grace, walked out!

The ’empress’ walked towards Cheng Yuan with elegant composure, looking at him with supreme authority.

"Director Cheng, why do you not kneel upon seeing Us?" she proclaimed.

Cheng Yuan felt his brain heat up!

It had to be Zhang Qian!

She had truly mastered the art of cosplay!

Looks like he’d get to play with an empress today!
