The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 229 - 0: Give Me a Reason

Cheng Yuan couldn’t help but grind his teeth time and again, having thought all these were merely plots in dramas, only to discover that reality was even darker!

"Director Zhang, I don’t quite understand," he said, "to protect a minor thug, was it necessary to sacrifice a secretary of the Political and Legal Committee?"

"If that minor thug was the son of the then-Mayor of Qin Island and the nephew of the Ji County Deputy Party Secretary, would you still be surprised?" he asked.

Cheng Yuan’s pupils constricted sharply!

Five years ago, the Mayor of Qin Island was Jin Zhanpeng’s elder brother, Jin Zhantang!

Now, Jin Zhantang had been promoted to the Party Secretary of Yan City, and it was said he was highly likely to enter the Provincial Party Standing Committee!

If it was to protect Jin Zhantang’s son, expelling Xiong Fei made sense.

"Thank you, Director Zhang, for the enlightenment," Cheng Yuan said.

"Don’t mention it, just keep up the good work with Manwen, and your future is boundless," Zhang Gao advised.

"Yes!" he responded.

Zhang Gao hung up the phone, and Cheng Yuan couldn’t help but feel somewhat exhilarated!

Originally, he had only a thirty percent chance, but now, convincing Qin Shu had risen to seventy or eighty percent!

Soon, they arrived at the City Gate Police Station, where Xue Yang was personally waiting at the door.

Cheng Yuan rolled down the car window and greeted Xue Yang.

"Brother Yang, get in," he said.

Xue Yang got into Cheng Yuan’s Passat and grinned: "Finally got a ride in A Yuan’s car! I guess your personal driver has finally made it!"

Cheng Yuan smiled slightly, "Why don’t you drive, Brother Yang?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"No, no, let me enjoy being a passenger for once," he declined.

Jokingly, the Passat drove into Qin Island, and under Xue Yang’s direction, they zigzagged and arrived at the office building in Futai Plaza, just opposite the city government.

This location, directly opposite the city government, was incredibly valuable.

Qin Shu’s Emperor Group occupied an entire top floor of Futai Plaza, showcasing her power.

The two took the elevator straight to the top floor.

Upon exiting the elevator, they were greeted by an extravagantly luxurious sign reading: Emperor Group!

The three receptionists were each more striking than the next.

If placed in Red Romance, they would certainly be top earners, not inferior to Gong Jin, Hua Yuan, or Nan Sheng.

The receptionist in the middle stood up, smiled generously and asked sweetly, "Do you have an appointment?"

"Yes, appointment for Mr. Xue," he responded.

"Hello, Mr. Xue, President Qin is in a meeting; I’ll take you to the lounge to wait for a moment," she said.

"Thank you," he said.

The receptionist kindly led them into the lounge, poured them each a coffee, then stepped out.

About half an hour passed.

The lounge door was pushed open, and a very elegant woman entered.

She was dressed in a sky-blue cheongsam, with a slender waist that one could grasp completely, and draped over her shoulders was a milk-coffee-colored shawl.

Her beauty was sublime, with a hint of delicacy, making her look like a gentle lady from the south of the Yangtze River, her face bearing a faint, sickly pallor.

Just like Lin Daiyu from the Dream of the Red Chamber.

Although she was already in her thirties, she looked as young as an eighteen-year-old girl.

One look at her would irresistibly provoke a strong desire to protect her!

If Xue Yang hadn’t suddenly stood up and respectfully bowed to greet her, Cheng Yuan would never have associated such a gentle woman with the underworld boss of Qin Island!

Cheng Yuan quickly stood up as well, all smiles as he greeted her: "President Qin, hello."

Qin Shu smiled gracefully, as if the sky lost all its color.

"Brother Yang, why have you come? And this is?" she inquired.

"Master, this is my best brother, Cheng Yuan, currently the Deputy Director of the Ji County Government Office."

Cheng Yuan?

Qin Shu’s beautiful eyes sparkled continuously, a feverish flush appearing on her pale cheeks, clearly struggling to control her emotions.

"So it’s the famous Regent King of Ji County," she remarked.

Cheng Yuan waved his hands.

"Please, President Qin, don’t say that! What Regent King? I’m just a soldier, and I fight wherever the County Chief sends me!"

"Director Cheng, don’t be modest. I’ve heard all about your deeds; to be honest, I couldn’t have achieved what you have if I was in your shoes," she said.

Cheng Yuan hastened to return the compliment.

"In front of President Qin, who single-handedly rewrote the underworld rules of Qin Island, I’m just a small fry!"

She chuckled.

Qin Shu laughed, clearly amused. This little guy was quite the flatterer.

Seeing the atmosphere lighten so much, Xue Yang quickly brought up their request.

"Master, A Yuan is here to ask a small favor of you," he said.

Qin Shu raised her eyebrows: "Let me guess, is it about the Wang Mancheng prostitution case?"

Cheng Yuan and Xue Yang exchanged glances and nodded honestly.

"Yes, I wonder if President Qin would be willing to offer substantial help?"

"Give me a reason to help you," she requested.

Before Cheng Yuan could speak, Xue Yang hurriedly said, "Master, consider it a favor for me."

Qin Shu rolled her eyes in exasperation.

"Brother Yang, what’s your position now? Is your face that influential?" she asked.

Embarrassed, Xue Yang scratched his head.

"My face might not be enough, but what if we add the County Chief’s face?"

Qin Shu gently shook her head.

"Brother Yang, if you could represent the governor, I would grant you this favor," she said.

Xue Yang’s face fell instantly!

He couldn’t even muster the County Chief’s influence, much less the governor’s.

Was this issue that big?

Did it involve provincial level confrontations?

With no other options, Xue Yang could only give a wry smile and look at Cheng Yuan, who seemed quite relaxed.

"President Qin, you’ve got it wrong, it’s not about giving me face, but about me helping you get your revenge!" Cheng Yuan declared.
