The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 552: Pumping Up

A few die-hard "Cheng Party" members had already expressed their opinions, and the newly arrived comrades were also gradually loosening up.

"Director, Director Zhang made a lot of sense. Given the mess that Ji County is in, the target of twenty billion is just too heavy."

As deputy director and also director of the first division of investment promotion, Yang Lei felt even more pressure!

"Director, considering that our Investment Promotion Office has just been established, and I’m also the deputy director in charge of investment promotion, I shouldn’t be undermining everyone’s confidence."

"But a twenty-billion investment target is completely unrealistic—it’s not something we can achieve just through our efforts."

"Can we please ask the County Chief to lower it for us?"

Cheng Yuan shook his head gently, "Just half an hour ago, I had already asked the County Chief about this. The target was unanimously approved by the Standing Committee, and it won’t change anytime soon."

Approved by the Standing Committee...

Everyone fell silent!

The weight of those three words was too heavy!

It was not something that they could casually comment on.

Seeing everyone looking as if they were without hope, Cheng Yuan knocked on the table and said indifferently, "Objective difficulties do exist, but we have to find ways to overcome them. The task must be completed!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Yang Lei said with a pained expression, "Director, we’re talking about twenty billion here, we..."

Cheng Yuan waved his hand, interrupting Yang Lei.

"You are all elite soldiers carefully selected by me from various departments in Ji County! Some of you have worked with me for a while and should understand my personality quite well."

"I don’t want to hear any excuses! If you think you cannot complete the twenty-billion target anyway, you can submit your resignation, and I will send you back to your original department."

"I’ll give you one minute to think about it."

Having said that, Cheng Yuan crossed his arms and glanced down at his watch.

Cheng Yuan’s words were so heavy that everyone was startled!

Especially the newly arrived colleagues.

In recent days, Director Cheng had always been all smiles, appearing as a friendly figure.

Nobody expected that when Director Cheng got angry, he could be so frightening!

Nobody anticipated how tough Director Cheng’s working style was!

Everyone kept their heads down and remained silent!

It was clear to the discerning that Director Cheng was the County Chief’s top favorite, a strong thigh that needed to be hugged tightly!

Only a fool would go back to their original unit!

Cheng Yuan scanned the room with a stern gaze; everyone lowered their heads, even Wang Shan dared not meet his eyes.

Cheng Yuan knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, "Wang Shan, bring the pen and paper! If anyone thinks they’re not up to the task, write your transfer application now, and I’ll sign it on the spot!"

Wang Shan shivered with fright, not daring to speak, quickly walked to the desk, took the pen and paper, and carefully placed them on the coffee table.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the office dropped to freezing!

No one dared to speak casually.

One minute passed, then two minutes.

Five minutes quickly passed.

No one dared speak up, nor did anyone pick up the pen.

Cheng Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems that no one wants to transfer?"

Yang Lei suddenly looked up and shouted, "Director, as the deputy director in charge of the first division, I want to make a statement here! After I go back, I will certainly do my best to mobilize the enthusiasm of all my colleagues in the first division to tackle the ten-billion investment target!"

Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows, Yang Lei had some sense of responsibility.

It wasn’t in vain that he had taken so much trouble to promote him.

Cheng Yuan turned to look at Wu Xiaoyan, the director of the second division in the Investment Promotion Office, "Director Wu, Director Yang has already made his stance clear, what about you?"

Wu Xiaoyan’s delicate body trembled slightly; she had come to the Investment Promotion Office by following Tian Faha and wasn’t one of Cheng Yuan’s stalwarts.

She had been cautious and circumspect lately.

But now Cheng Yuan had questioned her directly, leaving no room for her to retreat.

"Director, the second division will definitely try our best..."

She couldn’t be faulted for that answer. If I try my best and don’t succeed, it only shows that I’m not capable enough, but it doesn’t mean my attitude is at fault.

These days, it was not uncommon for government agencies to fail to achieve their tasks.

Wu Xiaoyan tried to muddle through, but unfortunately, Cheng Yuan blocked her retreat with a single phrase!

"It’s not about trying, it’s about must complete! I have already made a pledge that, if we can’t achieve the twenty-billion investment target this year, I will resign owning to the failure! Before I resign, I will definitely settle accounts with you all! At that time, don’t blame me for being unsympathetic!"

Whoosh!

Wu Xiaoyan’s face changed!

Director Cheng was truly ruthless!

She began to regret not writing that transfer report!

Seeing that the atmosphere had become a bit oppressive and morale somewhat low, Cheng Yuan quickly rallied his subordinates.

"Actually, a twenty-billion investment target isn’t too much! In the top one hundred counties, it can barely rank in the top fifty!"

"Why can other brother counties do it, but we can’t?"

"When it comes to princes and generals, could there be a scarcity of talent?"

"Comrades, let us join hands to make Ji County rank among the top fifty, or even top ten, of the nation’s top one hundred counties!"

"By then, our economic Development Zone in Ji County would surely be upgraded, and possibly, the entire Ji County too!"

"At that time, our Investment Promotion Office will be the chief contributor! All of you will have a promising future ahead!"
