The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 76 - 00: ’Great News

Cheng Yuan was infuriated by Ma Guotao and rebuked him sharply, "Ma Guotao, what do you think you are? You say that Shen Changwu is held under dual regulations and it happens? You say you’ll take down my position as the chief engineer and it happens? Do you think you are the head of the organization department?"

Ma Guotao was not annoyed at all, and looked at Cheng Yuan with a mocking gaze.

"Whether I am the head of the organization department is not important. What is important is that the leaders from the Discipline Inspection Commission will be here soon!"

The Discipline Inspection Commission?

Cheng Yuan was startled.

The first impression was that Ma Guotao was setting him up!

However, he was not at all panicked; he had only accepted some cigarettes and alcohol, and had always reciprocated the gifts.

It was all normal greetings and send-offs.

The Discipline Inspection Commission would not find any issues.

Cheng Yuan said coldly, "Ma Guotao, who are you trying to scare? I’m upright and sit straight! I’m not afraid of an investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission!"

Ma Guotao smiled mysteriously, "Mayor Cheng, don’t be nervous. I didn’t say the Discipline Inspection Commission is here to investigate you. They are here for a good reason, a very good reason!"

A very good reason??

Cheng Yuan was totally confused; he didn’t believe Ma Guotao’s nonsense at all.

Just then, a harsh roar of a car engine came.

A black Passat quickly drove up and parked next to the venue.

Several staff members from the Ji County Discipline Inspection Commission got out of the car and walked over quickly.

Ma Guotao recognized the team leader and greeted him very warmly, reaching out with both hands.

"Secretary Liang, hello!"

The deputy secretary of the Ji County Discipline Inspection Commission, Liang Kuan, shook hands with Ma Guotao enthusiastically.

"Hello, Director Ma!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liang Kuan turned and asked, "Which one is Comrade Cheng Yuan?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Ma Guotao raised his hand, pointing to Cheng Yuan, and introduced, "Secretary Liang, that is Mayor Cheng Yuan."

Liang Kuan nodded slightly to Ma Guotao, then walked quickly to Cheng Yuan and looked at him with an odd gaze.

"Mayor Cheng, hello, I am Liang Kuan, the deputy secretary of the Ji County Discipline Inspection Commission."

Although Cheng Yuan had been defiant earlier, when a comrade from the Discipline Inspection Commission truly stood before him, Cheng Yuan still felt a bit nervous.

After all, very few people could come out intact once they were taken in by the Discipline Inspection Commission.

"Secretary Liang, hello, what brings you to me personally?"

Liang Kuan looked at Cheng Yuan very seriously, "In response to the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission’s directive, our Ji County Discipline Inspection Commission will launch a new crackdown on commercial bribery!"

Commercial bribery?

Crackdown?

Cheng Yuan’s back broke out in a cold sweat instantly!

Normally, there was nothing wrong with greetings and send-offs.

Everyone did so across the country.

But, if the Discipline Inspection Commission truly decided to nitpick and was determined to pin a crime on him, he would definitely not be able to escape.

Cheng Yuan felt a bit panicked internally, yet his face remained very serious.

"I am upright in my actions and sit straight, I will fully cooperate with the Discipline Inspection Commission’s investigation."

Liang Kuan smiled, "Mayor Cheng, don’t be nervous. We have already investigated your situation thoroughly. You are not involved in Shen Changwu’s corruption and bribery case."

Cheng Yuan’s hanging heart finally settled down.

However, it quickly rose up again!

Shen Changwu’s corruption and bribery?

How could that be possible?

"Secretary Liang, there must be some mistake. How could Shen Changwu be involved in corruption and bribery?"

"Mayor Cheng, I know it’s hard for you to accept. I was also shocked when I first heard the news! But, Shen Changwu has already been caught red-handed and is under dual regulations."

Cheng Yuan’s expression turned extremely solemn!

He had never expected this political struggle to be so fierce!

The opponents had made such a ruthless move!

Shen Changwu was parachuted in here!

With significant backing from above!

How dare they frame her for corruption and bribery?

It seemed, Shen Changwu had touched their fundamental interests!

Cheng Yuan felt an endless darkness enveloping his head, making it difficult for him to breathe!

If even Shen Changwu had been placed under dual regulations, would it not be as easy as drinking water for them to take him down?

"Now that Secretary Liang has already clarified that I am not involved in Shen Changwu’s ’corruption and bribery’ case, why come to me?"

Liang Kuan patiently explained.

"This crackdown has unearthed many moles within the Party! Our Discipline Inspection Commission is severely understaffed!"

"Director Ma has recommended you to Secretary Zhang."

"After our investigation, we have confirmed that you are a comrade with principles, a boundary, and a sense of justice!"

"Secretary Zhang has specially approved, transferring you to our Ji County Discipline Inspection Commission."

"Here is the transfer notice."

Cheng Yuan did not accept the transfer notice and declined, "Thank you for the recognition from Ji County Discipline Inspection Commission, and thanks to Secretary Zhang and Secretary Liang! However, I am currently in charge of the Weidong River project and I am afraid I cannot leave."

Liang Kuan said solemnly, "Mayor Cheng, this is a very serious political task, and it is not open to discussion. Director Ma has already signed the document; the transfer notice has taken effect! Moreover, as you were directly appointed by Shen Changwu as the chief engineer, to avoid conflict of interest, you cannot continue to be in charge of the Weidong River project."

Hearing this, Cheng Yuan was certain and assured of it!

The so-called corruption and bribery of Shen Changwu was absolutely a thorough conspiracy!

The target was the Weidong River project!

Cheng Yuan felt a profound sense of powerlessness encircling him, knowing very well that it was the opponent’s conspiracy, yet he could do nothing about it!

This feeling was truly unbearable!

At that moment, Cheng Yuan passionately longed for power for the first time!

If he had been a high-ranking official in the city or provincial committee, not even lending these people a hundred gall bladders would they dare to treat him this way!

Seeing Cheng Yuan’s frustrated and helpless face, Ma Guotao was delighted!

"Mayor Cheng, didn’t I tell you? You can’t keep your hat as the chief engineer! Better hurry to the Discipline Inspection Commission and report there!"
