The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 249 - 0: Big News

Cheng Yuan subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but soon, he thought of the message his uncle had just sent him.

His cousin Cheng Qianqian had passed the civil servant exam, and his uncle invited him to return home for a meal tomorrow noon.

Qianqian was absolutely one of his own, and besides, a child who had just graduated was pure-hearted, and following the County Chief couldn’t be more appropriate!

"Director Liu, I actually have a pretty good candidate over here, my cousin Cheng Qianqian, who just passed the civil servant exam. You should take the opportunity to recommend her to the County Chief."

"All right, Director Cheng."

Cheng Yuan bid farewell to Liu Xi and turned his head to Ji County’s television station, making his way familiarly to the director’s office.

Knock, knock, knock.

Cheng Yuan knocked lightly on the door, and a pleasant yet authoritative voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Cheng Yuan entered, quickly walking up to the desk.

Fang Xue was seriously reviewing documents, not lifting her head.

Cheng Yuan reported seriously, "Director Fang, I have very explosive news that can make the trending search. Are you interested?"

Fang Xue was stunned, such a familiar voice!

But she couldn’t remember who it was for a moment!

Fang Xue looked up, saw Cheng Yuan’s handsome face, and couldn’t help but brighten up, her face instantly bursting into a brilliant smile.

"Director Cheng, you came over without giving me a heads up? I should have gone to greet you! I’ve been terribly rude."

Cheng Yuan grinned: "Isn’t this meant to be a little surprise for Sister Xue?"

"Come over and sit. Let’s sip and chat."

Fang Xue led Cheng Yuan to the resting area, skillfully brewing tea, her movements as fluid as nature itself, not inferior to Qin Shu’s, making Cheng Yuan very comfortable.

"Tell me, what’s the big news?"

Cheng Yuan’s expression became serious, and his manner became formal.

"Director Fang, if this whole matter ferments, it might involve big shots in the city. If it’s inconvenient for you, just pretend I never came."

Fang Xue looked very calm, "Could it be bigger than Old Mr. Niu’s affair?"

"Not quite."

"Then that’s settled! Since Liu Song was taken down, the tight hoop around my head is gone. I am now the Sun Wukong who wreaks havoc in the Heavenly Palace! I dare to punch a hole in the sky! Just speak up about any big news, have confidence!"

Cheng Yuan gave a thumbs up!

"Tough! Sister Xue, you are so tough! I love it!"

"Here’s the thing... If this blows up, it will cause a huge stir in both the political and business circles of Qin Island, and might even affect Qin Island’s political ecology."

Cheng Yuan recounted everything that had happened to Wang Mancheng and also produced the evidence.

Fang Xue asked softly, "A Yuan, actually, it’s more reliable to go to Qianmo with this matter. Do you want me to contact Qianmo for you?"

Do you need to find Qianmo for me?

My relationship with Qianmo has long surpassed yours, and left it far behind.

Cheng Yuan explained softly, "Sister Xue, if Qianmo is brought in, the issue will become too big."

Fang Xue instantly understood Cheng Yuan’s point.

If Li Qianmo were involved, the issue would go straight to the provincial level, leaving no room for maneuver—it would be a direct, hard confrontation.

But starting from her, everything was under control.

Issues could be resolved through a trade-off of interests.

"I got it! I’m on it right away."

Fang Xue was very efficient, and during the noon news in Ji County, there was some reporting on the Wang Mancheng incident.

Originally, the viewership of Ji County’s television station was only 0.003; that was normal, after all, it was just a small county’s station.

But once the report came out, the viewership of Ji County’s television station soared to 0.2 instantly.

It was nearly comparable to the ratings of some provincial channels!

This abnormal situation quickly caught the attention of higher-level leadership departments.

The Director of the Ji County Publicity Department got the news and reported it to his boss Jin Zhanpeng first thing!

Unfortunately, Jin Zhanpeng was at his mentor’s and couldn’t answer the phone conveniently.

He had more troublesome matters at hand.

Half an hour earlier, some irregular magazines and marketing accounts began spreading gossip about him!

The gossip was detailed and quickly spread around after meals.

Jin Zhanpeng broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this gossip!

Being the person concerned, he was well aware that everything said was true!

Gao Qiu, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Standing Committee member, and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, was highly politically sensitive. He summoned Jin Zhanpeng right away and slapped the scandalous material onto his face!

"Jin Zhanpeng! What’s going on with you? I stuck my neck out and recommended you three times in the Standing Committee! Secretary Zhao even gave the nod! You were so close to becoming the County Party Secretary! How could all this scandalous material suddenly come out? How am I supposed to explain this to Secretary Zhao?"

Jin Zhanpeng definitely didn’t dare to admit the truth of the gossip and hurriedly denied it.

"This must be slander spread by Shen Manwen to target me, trying to smear my reputation and prevent me from becoming the County Party Secretary."

Gao Qiu knew Jin Zhanpeng’s character and didn’t believe his words at all.

"Whatever you say now is useless. Hurry up and clean up your act! You can forget about being the County Party Secretary! If I’m not wrong, Lin Xinghe will definitely take this opportunity to initiate a committee meeting!"

Just as Gao Qiu predicted, the red phone on the desk suddenly rang.

"Secretary Gao, hello, the Governor has urgently convened a committee meeting. Please come to the committee building’s conference room for the meeting within half an hour."
