The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 59 - 00: No Respect

Cheng Yuan had no hesitation, closing the folder without delay and returning it.

"Mr. Zhao, I’m really tired now, my mind is a mess, and I cannot look at paperwork. Please give me a verbal report, just a brief one will do."

To this, Zhao Guangming was not at all surprised and took the folder back readily.

After all, with so many people watching, it was normal for Mayor Cheng not to take money. He would find another opportunity to report to Mayor Cheng alone.

Today was just about showing face and expressing sincerity.

"Alright, Mayor Cheng, our Guangming Construction Company..."

Zhao Guangming briefly introduced his company, then stepped aside to give space to other executives.

After all the executives had finished their reports, twenty minutes had passed.

Cheng Yuan yawned.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a rough understanding of your enterprises, and I will consider carefully. Please, you may leave."

Cheng Yuan handed each executive a box of tea leaves and escorted them out of his house, finally feeling a bit relieved.

He hoped they wouldn’t block his doorstep in the future.

Not every day, coming home felt like sneaking around like a thief.

Just as Cheng Yuan was about to shut the door, a familiar face appeared in front of him.

It was Ma Guotao, whom he hadn’t seen for several days.

"Mayor Cheng, since the executives have all reported their work, I’d like to report mine too."

After speaking, Ma Guotao snapped his fingers. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Several of Ma’s men started unloading various gifts from the vehicle.

Clearly, Ma Guotao had received the news.

Cheng Yuan didn’t take money, but he did not refuse gifts.

That’s why Ma Guotao had put great effort into the gifts.

The cigarette box had been emptied out.

It was filled with thick stacks of bills.

Even some of the cigarette boxes contained gold bars.

After the failure of his seduction strategy, Ma Guotao didn’t think of any crooked ideas again. He was indeed full of sincerity.

Unfortunately, Cheng Yuan was not going to give Ma Guotao any chance!

This bastard, actually setting up a seduction trap for him!

If it hadn’t been for his luck and Shen Manwen’s last-minute assignment, he might have been sent to detention!

Cheng Yuan’s expression was very cold.

"Mr. Ma, I’m a bit tired. Please leave."

Ma Guotao, having waited so long, naturally would not leave.

"Mayor Cheng, all the other executives have been inside to report their work. Wouldn’t it be improper not to let me in?"

"Mr. Ma, I’m tired. If you want to talk about work, please do so during office hours at my office."

Ma Guotao’s expression gradually darkened.

"Mayor Cheng, are you really not giving me any face?"

Cheng Yuan scoffed coldly. All of you play tricks on me, and you still expect me to give you face?

Who do you think you are?

"Mr. Ma, it’s not impossible for you to involve yourself in the Weidong River project, but I have two conditions."

Ma Guotao’s mood instantly brightened up, and his face squeezed out a smile.

"You’re a real friend, Mayor Cheng. Don’t just mention two conditions, even twenty, and I’ll agree. Please, go ahead."

Cheng Yuan held up a finger.

"First, immediately complete the unfinished building across from Bao Long! That building has been standing for seven or eight years, right? It severely affects the image of Ji County."

"Huanghe Second Road was repaired less than two years ago, but it’s full of bumps and holes. Every time it rains, it becomes muddy and completely unusable for vehicles. If I’m not mistaken, this is also your Rongji Construction’s handiwork, right? The second condition is to immediately redo Huanghe Second Road!"

Ma Guotao’s expression turned very grim.

Completing the unfinished building was manageable, though it would require a large investment but likely it wouldn’t lose too much money after completion.

However, redoing Huanghe Second Road was a bit too much!

Even if he took over the entire Weidong River project, how much profit would it make?

It wouldn’t even cover the cost of the roadwork.

"Mayor Cheng, both the unfinished building and Huanghe Second Road have very complex historical issues that cannot be resolved in a moment. Let me come inside, and we can have a good talk about the Weidong River project. Later on, I will report to you in detail about the specific historical reasons."

Cheng Yuan rejected him without any hesitation.

"Mr. Ma, until those substandard constructions by your Rongji Construction are redone, don’t even think about the Weidong River project! Please, feel free to leave!"

With a bang!

Cheng Yuan shut the door, leaving Ma Guotao outside!

Ma Guotao’s face turned green with rage!

The bastard!

He really thinks he’s the big deal?

To dare to throw him out of his house?

Ma Guotao’s men were filled with righteous indignation.

"Boss, do you want us to rush in and handle him?"

Ma Guotao waved a hand.

"Even if we do handle him, not here and not you guys getting involved. Find some unfamiliar faces, preferably outsiders. When he goes to the county town to report on his work, get him good and hard!"

"Yes, boss."

"Wang Ning, you lead the team to watch over Cheng Yuan’s every move here in person. The moment he heads to the county, report to me immediately!"

"Yes, boss."

Cheng Yuan wasn’t afraid of Ma Guotao causing trouble. His rented house was less than a five-minute drive from the Lingshan police station.

One phone call would summon Xue Yang over.

Besides, he had trained in combat sports with Xue Yang, and he was quite skilled, enough to handle three to five ordinary men.

Cheng Yuan slept soundly, went to the office to compile the documents, and then boarded the bus heading to Ji County.

Cheng Yuan had no counter-surveillance experience and did not notice at all.

Behind him, there were two sneaky young men.

After Cheng Yuan boarded the bus, one of the young men called Ma Guotao.

"Mr. Ma, the target has boarded the bus to Ji County."
