The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 271 - 0: Speak Frankly with an Open Skylight
Geng Rui gave a wry smile and shook his head, "County Magistrate Tian, this puts me in a difficult position. Actually, I’m not very familiar with the County Chief. Since his appointment, I have only reported to him three times."
"Old Geng, you’re the only one who can help me now, you can’t be dodging the issue with me!"
"The County Chief has already promoted you to executive status, how can you possibly not be familiar with him?"
Geng Rui swore earnestly, "County Magistrate Tian, I really am not familiar with the County Chief. If I lie to you, may thunder strike me down!"
"Then how did you become an executive? Don’t deny it, I have already heard about it."
"I’m not denying it. The County Chief indeed promoted me to executive. However, it wasn’t because of my own influence but for Director Cheng’s sake."
Director Cheng?
Tian Faha’s eyes lit up.
"Everyone says Director Cheng is the Regent King, the County Chief’s..."
Shush!
Geng Rui hurriedly made a silencing gesture, his face turning pale with fright.
"County Magistrate Tian, is this something we can discuss casually? It’s enough to know this in our hearts."
Tian Faha quickly clamped his mouth shut, then rubbed his hands together, giving Geng Rui an embarrassed look.
"Old Geng, could you introduce me to Director Cheng?"
"That’s easy to say. Director Cheng is my best brother. Introducing you is no problem, but whether he wants to help you is something I can’t influence."
"I understand, I understand. Old Geng, I’m already grateful that you could introduce me to Director Cheng."
Geng Rui chuckled, "County Magistrate Tian, you’re too polite. When I was competing with Old Liu from the Highway Bureau for the position of Director of the Finance Bureau, you cast a supporting vote for me. I remember that kindness!"
The morning passed quickly.
Cheng Yuan drove straight to Haoyuan Hotel.
Haoyuan Hotel is not the most upscale hotel in Ji County, but its several private rooms are really excellent.
Geng Rui had chosen the second floor’s Qingyun Pavilion, which had a very auspicious implication.
After entering the private room, Cheng Yuan paused slightly because not only were Geng Rui and Yan Wenzheng present, but there was also a new face.
Geng Rui quickly introduced, "Brother Cheng, this is our Ji County’s deputy in charge of culture and health, County Magistrate Tian Faha. County Magistrate Tian, there’s no need to introduce Director Cheng, right?"
"Not at all necessary. Director Cheng is a highly regarded figure close to the County Chief. I’ve long admired him."
"Director Cheng, hello!"
With that, Tian Faha reached out his hand.
Cheng Yuan smiled and shook hands with Tian Faha.
"Hello, County Magistrate Tian."
"Director Cheng, please take a seat."
Cheng Yuan repeatedly waved his hand.
"County Magistrate Tian, are you mocking me? You are my superior. How can I take the main seat? Besides, Director Geng is about to be promoted to executive. Let him sit in the main seat, and I will attend to you leaders from a lesser position."
Tian Faha did not insist, turning his head to look at Geng Rui with an inquiring look.
Geng Rui repeatedly waved his hand.
"Brother Cheng, are you mocking me? Don’t you know how I got this executive position? I dare not steal the ’Regent King’s’ place. Please, take your seat."
Geng Rui insisted several times, but Cheng Yuan stuck to his principles and insisted on seating Geng Rui in the main seat.
Yan Wenzheng and Tian Faha gave Cheng Yuan a deep look.
Director Cheng is handsome, modest, and low-key. No wonder the County Chief highly values him.
"Ayuan, regarding our brotherhood, I will not say thank you; everything is in the drink. Here’s mine, and you can follow as you like."
With a gulp, Geng Rui drained his drink in one go, turning his cup upside down to show the others. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"Brother Geng is generous!"
Cheng Yuan also picked up his glass and drank it all in one go.
The other two said nothing and simply downed their drinks in one breath.
After several rounds, all four got a bit tipsy, and their relationships seemed to grow warmer.
Tian Faha gave Geng Rui a look, meaning it was time to talk business.
Geng Rui patted Cheng Yuan’s shoulder heavily.
"Ayuan, County Magistrate Tian has done me great favors. When I was competing for the position of Director of the Finance Bureau, he cast a crucial vote for me! Now that he is in a difficult position, I can’t just ignore it!"
Cheng Yuan was taken aback, "What happened to County Magistrate Tian?"
"Back when Liu Song was around, he controlled Ji County’s authority, and County Magistrate Tian had no choice but to align with him."
"I vouch with my personal integrity that County Magistrate Tian is a good comrade with firm revolutionary beliefs. He has never helped Liu Song do anything wrong!"
"However, the County Chief doesn’t know these details and plans to adjust County Magistrate Tian’s position."
"Can you help introduce him? County Magistrate Tian wants to give the County Chief a comprehensive report on his thoughts and work."
Cheng Yuan spoke bluntly.
"Since he’s one of us, I won’t beat around the bush. It shouldn’t be a problem to introduce County Magistrate Tian to the County Chief."
"The County Chief is quite pragmatic, so I hope County Magistrate Tian can continue to push hard at work and strive to gain the County Chief’s approval through his performance."
Tian Faha’s face flushed with emotion.
"Director Cheng, I won’t say superfluous words, they’re all in the drink! I’m going to drink three in a row, you do as you wish!"
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
Tian Faha drained three glasses in one breath and surprisingly did not get drunk.
Clearly, he’s a seasoned drinker.
Cheng Yuan gave face and drained his glass in one go.
Yan Wenzheng grinned and raised his glass.
"Ayuan, you need to hurry up with Xinyu!"
"When Xinyu stayed at home, she received seven or eight calls in one night."
"From her tone, they were all from suitors!"
"Although she hasn’t shown any interest yet."
"But, as the saying goes, a persistent suitor can wear down the virtuous. I’m worried if this continues, Xinyu won’t be able to hold on!"
