The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 537: Arrived at Table One!

The work of the Investment Promotion Office gradually became more formal.

As the head of the department, Cheng Yuan should have been relatively idle, but there weren’t many people in the Investment Promotion Office currently, so he had to make several trips to the south.

It upset a few of his close female friends.

Cheng Yuan had just returned when he suddenly received shocking news!

The new County Party Secretary had arrived!

As an actual power-holding cadre at the regular section level, Cheng Yuan was eligible to join the welcoming line for the County Party Secretary.

He didn’t even have time to catch his breath and immediately rushed back to the west expressway entrance of Ji County,

out of respect for the County Party Secretary.

Shen Manwen was quietly waiting at the expressway entrance with the leading members of both her teams.

From afar, seeing Cheng Yuan arrive, the leaders all greeted him, actively clearing the way for him and giving him a spot at the front.

Even some deputy division-level cadres voluntarily made way for Cheng Yuan,

gesturing for him to stand in the second echelon next to the standing committee members.

The leaders were courteous, but Cheng Yuan couldn’t afford to be so ignorant of protocol and instead stood behind Geng Rui, alongside Yan Wenzheng.

Without making everyone wait long, after about ten minutes, several brand-new Audi A6s drove out of the expressway entrance.

Shen Manwen led the group to greet them.

Cheng Yuan hid in the middle of the crowd, firmly refusing to be the one to stand out.

After all, the new County Party Secretary Li Chunsheng was here to deal with him.

It was better to show his face less in front of him.

The County Party Secretary of Ji County was also a standing committee member of Qin Island City, a deputy department-level cadre.

Normally, the Minister of the Organization Department of the City Committee should have personally escorted him.

However, to avoid suspicion, Li Zhengqing didn’t come and instead, the Executive Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of Qin Island, Pang Yuan, brought him over.

Li Chunsheng got out of the car, surrounded by Pang Yuan and other staff from the Organization Department, and approached everyone with confidence, looking at them with a gentle but authoritative gaze.

Shen Manwen smiled slightly and nodded respectfully to Li Chunsheng.

The others all bowed their heads and smiled obsequiously on their faces.

The leaders were well-informed and had already learned a bit about Li Chunsheng’s background.

A standing committee member of the City Committee, the son of the Minister of the Organization Department, Li Zhengqing.

A son-in-law that would bring honor to the Zheng family from the Capital.

"County Magistrate Manwen, all the colleagues from Ji County, I’ve brought your new Secretary!" exclaimed Pang Yuan.

Wow!

Everyone applauded warmly in welcome.

Cheng Yuan also clapped along with everyone, albeit insincerely.

He was extremely envious now!

When would he also be able to become a County Party Secretary?

That feeling of awe and control was exhilarating!

Shen Manwen took the initiative and extended her hand to Li Chunsheng.

"Secretary Chunsheng, the comrades have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time, and finally, our big monitor has come! Our two teams of Ji County will definitely unite closely around you, our big monitor, to do a good job in Ji County."

Li Chunsheng shook hands with Shen Manwen and said warmly, "County Magistrate Manwen, you’ve made too big of a fuss. Someone from the County Committee office could have come to greet me—how could you bother so many comrades?"

"Mainly because the big monitor’s position has been vacant for too long, and the comrades just couldn’t wait. It really isn’t me forcing them to come. Right, comrades?"

Everyone nodded their heads.

"County Magistrate Manwen is right; we all came voluntarily."

...

At Li Chunsheng’s strong insistence, they only had a simple working meal in the canteen at noon.

After all, there was still the full county cadre meeting in the afternoon; it would tarnish the image of the leadership if they got drunk.

At two in the afternoon.

The full county cadre meeting was convened in the large conference room of the Ji County Guest House.

The meeting staff arranged Cheng Yuan in the front row as usual, alongside other deputy division-level cadres.

However, Cheng Yuan voluntarily took a seat in the third row, next to Yan Wenzheng, hoping to blend in with the crowd and not leave an impression on Li Chunsheng.

Yet, for some reason, Cheng Yuan always felt as if Li Chunsheng’s gaze was drifting over him, intentionally or not.

It had to be said that Li Chunsheng was quite good-looking and also capable.

Standing at the podium, he spoke fluently without the need for a teleprompter, delivering his speech from memory.

Annoyingly, his speech was humorous and engaging; the people listening didn’t find it dry at all, and there was no sense of drowsiness.

The atmosphere in the large conference room was firmly in Li Chunsheng’s grip, incredibly enthusiastic!

Meanwhile, Cheng Yuan’s heart was sinking non-stop; the better the new Secretary performed, the more dangerous it was for him!

Finally, the full county cadre meeting came to an end, and Cheng Yuan could breathe a little sigh of relief.

He had thought he had barely passed the first test.

However, to his surprise, there was a hitch at the evening banquet.

Cheng Yuan specifically instructed the meeting staff to move his seat back, to the seventeenth table, to sit with colleagues from Lingshan Town.

That way, he could avoid Li Chunsheng from afar.

However, when he entered the banquet hall,

Cheng Yuan was stunned; his name card wasn’t at table seventeen but was prominently displayed at the first table!

Cheng Yuan was furious!

Were the meeting staff trying to doom him?

Fuming, Cheng Yuan found the person in charge of the meeting, Che Xiao: "Didn’t I say to arrange me at table seventeen? Why did you put me at the first table?"

Che Xiao was very aggrieved.

"Director Cheng, please calm down. It was Secretary Chunsheng himself who ordered us to place you at the first table."
