The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 80 - 0: Fallen into the Trap!

Cheng Yuan was left choking on his own words.

Goodness, can’t you speak without being so venomous?

I really do feel for you, my dear!

Of course, Cheng Yuan could only think these thoughts to himself.

Cheng Yuan handed the boxed meal to Liu Jian, speaking softly, "Liu Jian, take this to the executive."

"Yes, Director Cheng."

Liu Jian took the meal box and entered the room.

Shen Manwen’s facial expression was cold as she looked at Liu Jian, and upon recognizing his face, she felt a surge of joy inside!

It really was Liu Xi from the secretary department!

She had a very good impression of him.

When she had just been parachuted in, she had considered whether to choose Liu Xi as her liaison officer.

After much deliberation, Shen Manwen thought it wouldn’t look good for a man to be her liaison officer.

So, Shen Manwen ultimately chose Liu Xi.

Through subsequent interactions, Shen Manwen grew increasingly appreciative of Liu Jian, and was ready to recommend him as the deputy head of the secretarial department, becoming her second secretary.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jian was seconded to the County Discipline Inspection Commission, responsible for overseeing her custody!

However, Cheng Yuan was right outside, and some words were inconvenient to say!

She had to send him away as soon as possible!

Shen Manwen suddenly scolded, "You just brought a boxed meal without porridge? Are you trying to choke me to death?"

Liu Jian hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Executive, I was wrong. I’ll go and get you some porridge now!"

Shen Manwen said coldly, "Naive! You think a simple admission of wrong can let you off the hook? Cheng Yuan! You go get me some porridge!"

Although Shen Manwen was speaking to Liu Jian, her words made Cheng Yuan’s scalp tingle with fear!

He knew Shen Manwen was signaling to him; she wouldn’t easily forget what happened that day.

Even an apology from him would be useless!

Cheng Yuan didn’t dare to talk back to Shen Manwen and obediently accepted the order.

"Yes, I’ll get the porridge for the executive right away."

Liu Jian was terribly nervous, looking at Shen Manwen with a pitiful gaze.

"I really know I was wrong, I will never make a similar mistake again, please give me another chance, executive!"

Shen Manwen didn’t respond but perked up her ears to make sure the sound of Cheng Yuan’s footsteps was fading away.

Only then did Shen Manwen lower her voice, "Xiao Liu, do you see me as the kind of leader who likes to make things difficult for people?"

Liu Jian was taken aback and hesitated before shaking his head.

"No, in my eyes, the executive is a very compassionate and good leader. Executive, your anger just now was probably due to being framed, which caused some instability in your mood."

Shen Manwen lit up, "Xiao Liu, you think I was framed?"

"Yes! I completely believe in the executive’s integrity! Besides, even if the executive wanted to be corrupt, she wouldn’t cause trouble at such a critical moment of transition, right? Would it be worth it to lose the position of County Chief for such a small amount of money? I’m absolutely certain the executive has been framed! It’s just a pity I don’t have the ability to help the executive seek justice!"

Shen Manwen was very comforted; she hadn’t misjudged him!

This Liu Jian was indeed worth cultivating!

Once she overcame this hurdle, she would definitely promote him vigorously!

"Xiao Liu, unlock your phone and give it to me."

"Ah? Oh."

Liu Jian unlocked his phone and handed it to Shen Manwen.

Shen Manwen quickly typed two lines of text.

She lowered her voice, "Go to the first address, locker 1059, there’s a notebook inside, get the notebook and then mail it to the second address."

"Yes, executive! I will complete the mission!!"

Shen Manwen looked at Liu Jian with an encouraging gaze.

"Xiao Liu, do a good job, and I will definitely not let you down."

"Thank you for the executive’s cultivation, I will leave now so as not to arouse Director Cheng’s suspicion."

"Hmm."

Liu Jian bowed deeply and walked out of the room with great strides.

The moment he closed the door, a sly smile appeared on the corner of Liu Jian’s mouth.

Cheng Yuan moved quickly, taking less than two minutes to return to Room 608 with a cup of millet porridge.

Liu Jian stood at the door, drooping his head like a deflated quail.

Cheng Yuan chuckled and patted Liu Jian’s shoulder, speaking softly, "Xiao Liu, don’t be nervous, the executive is in a bad mood right now, she won’t trouble you over such a small matter."

Liu Jian looked up at Cheng Yuan with a grateful expression.

"Thank you, Director Cheng."

Cheng Yuan gave Liu Jian an encouraging look, then knocked on the door gently.

"Executive, the millet porridge is here."

This time, Shen Manwen didn’t give Cheng Yuan a cold response.

Anyway, she was about to leave soon, and then she would deal with Cheng Yuan, that little troublemaker!

Why bear a grudge now?

Shen Manwen said indifferently, "Just put it on the coffee table."

Cheng Yuan sensed something was amiss.

Why did the executive’s mood change so drastically?

What exactly happened while he was out fetching the millet porridge?

Cheng Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice, "Executive, did you and Xiao Liu know each other before?"

How could Shen Manwen admit it?

She blurted out a story, "Although Xiao Liu works in the County Government Office secretariat, we have never had any interaction before."

Cheng Yuan immediately caught the flaw in Shen Manwen’s words!

How could Shen Manwen speak with such certainty about a subordinate she claimed to have never interacted with?

A feeling of dread suddenly hit Cheng Yuan!

This isn’t good!

The executive had fallen into a trap!

Cheng Yuan quickly strode toward the main door and, with a whoosh, flung it open.

Where was there any sign of Liu Jian outside the door?

Cheng Yuan turned his head, his voice tinged with urgency as he interrogated, "Executive, did you give something to Liu Jian just now? Is there any way to remedy this?"
