The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 248 - 0: The Man Chosen by Manwen is Really Capable

Chapter 248: Chapter 0248: The Man Chosen by Manwen is Really Capable

Shen Manwen was utterly bewildered by Song Huilan’s question, her mind filled with question marks.

"Mom, what person are you talking about?"

Shen Manwen suddenly felt a tinge of guilt. Had her affair with Cheng Yuan been exposed?

That shouldn’t be the case!

After all, she had never said that Cheng Yuan was her boyfriend!

Song Huilan raised her hand to tap on her daughter’s forehead.

"Manwen, it’s perfectly normal for someone your age to have a boyfriend. There’s no need to hide it."

"I really don’t have a boyfriend!"

Song Huilan rolled her eyes in exasperation and pointed toward the clothes rack on the balcony.

"Manwen, do you think your mom is blind? Whose men’s shirt is hanging on that rack? Don’t tell me it’s yours?"

Shen Manwen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Mom, you’ve got it wrong. That shirt belongs to a colleague who came over to report on work and accidentally stained his own. I found him one of Dad’s shirts to wear, and his got washed and left here."

Song Huilan absolutely did not believe Shen Manwen’s ’tall tale’.

"Manwen, don’t I know you? If you didn’t have feelings for this colleague, why would you find him clothes to change into? Why would you let him use your clothes rack?"

Shen Manwen was alarmed, her mom knew her too well!

But she couldn’t admit it!

"Mom, it’s really not what you think."

"This colleague’s name is Cheng Yuan; he’s the one who rescued me from double regulation."

"He also turned the tables desperately, helping me secure the County Chief position!"

"It was also him who took down Liu Song and helped me establish an unparalleled influence in Ji County. That’s why I was a bit more lenient with him."

A smile of satisfaction appeared on Song Huilan’s face.

"Not bad, not bad, the man Manwen picked is really capable! Now I’m even more curious!"

"I had planned to return to Beijing early today, but now I’ve changed my mind. I’m going to stay a few more days, and you must bring Cheng Yuan back home tonight for me to meet."

Shen Manwen was overwhelmed and nearly going crazy!

To be honest, recently she indeed started to have feelings for Cheng Yuan.

But, Cheng Yuan was too dominant for her, and she did not want to end up dead in bed with him one day!

Moreover, Cheng Yuan’s family background and current status were quite mismatched with hers.

She herself didn’t mind.

Her parents were relatively open-minded, but after all, they were a family grounded in politics. Would other elders agree?

"Mom, why don’t you believe me? My relationship with Cheng Yuan is really just professional."

Shen Manwen said loudly, yet inexplicably felt somewhat guilty.

That night she had been up all night because she had been drugged.

But what about last time?

If her mom hadn’t suddenly called, it might have already happened...

"Alright, alright, I believe you two just have a work relationship! Then bring your colleague home, I want to meet your colleague."

Shen Manwen was so frustrated, tired of arguing with her mom, and ate her meal haphazardly before rushing out to work as if escaping.

Shen Manwen was extremely professional.

Once she started her busy work, she quickly pushed all those unpleasant thoughts out of her mind.

Unfortunately, just when she was enjoying some peace, Cheng Yuan knocked and entered her office.

Shen Manwen immediately lost her temper!

"Cheng Yuan! Who allowed you to come in? Did Liu Xi inform you?"

Cheng Yuan was startled, wondering if the County Chief was on a warpath so early in the morning.

Could it be that she had caught wind of his overnight stay at Qin Shu’s No.1 villa last night?

Swipe!

Cold sweat broke out on Cheng Yuan’s forehead, and he brazenly explained, "County Chief, I went to see Qin Shu yesterday to help Mr. Wang restore his reputation! There’s absolutely nothing between Qin Shu and me!"

Cheng Yuan’s explanation only made Shen Manwen angrier!

Nice, owning up to it, huh?

Do you still want something with Qin Shu?

To think I actually seriously considered the possibility of being with you!

"I don’t want to hear your nonsense! I’m very busy, come back and report to me after everything is satisfactorily resolved! Immediately! Right now! Get out!!"

Seeing that Shen Manwen was truly angry, Cheng Yuan didn’t dare to be cheeky and hurriedly tried to appease her.

"Okay, okay, okay, I’ll leave, please calm down, County Chief."

Cheng Yuan scurried out of the office, not having had the chance to report about Jin Zhanpeng’s scandal yet!

He decided to wait until the County Chief was in a better mood to report.

"Director Liu, what’s up with the County Chief? Is she on edge?"

Liu Xi gave a wry smile, lowering his voice.

"I don’t know what’s wrong, usually she’s very stable emotionally."

"She’s suddenly exploded today, already yelled at several leaders who came to report on their work."

"Originally, there were over a dozen leaders lined up at the door to report, but they were all scared off by the County Chief..."

"However, the County Chief was at least a bit courteous to other leaders, at least she didn’t ask them to get out."

"Director Cheng, you better think about it, did you do anything to upset the County Chief?"

Cheng Yuan smiled bitterly; he had done too many things, and he couldn’t tell which one it might have been...

Cheng Yuan naturally dared not say anything reckless, so he changed the subject.

"Director Liu, as the head of the County Government Office, you should focus on the entire office. Isn’t being a personal secretary to the County Chief a bit of an underuse of your abilities?"

Liu Xi sighed.

"There’s nothing I can do, the County Chief doesn’t trust anyone in the County Government Office right now, so I have to work a bit harder." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Do you have any suitable candidates on your side, Director Cheng?"
