The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 16 - 00: You are their pawn!

Cheng Yuan’s legs went weak in waves, and the hair on his body stood on end!

Run!

It was Cheng Yuan’s sole thought!

Yet, Cheng Yuan’s legs refused to obey!

If he just ran like this.

All the efforts he had painstakingly coordinated with Geng Rui the day before would have been in vain!

If he couldn’t fix this special fund.

He wouldn’t be able to hold onto the money at all, and it would inevitably lead to shoddy construction projects!

By then, he would have to take the blame and go to prison!

The safety of the people’s lives would have no guarantee at all!

Therefore, he couldn’t run away!

Even if being torn apart by the executive, he couldn’t run away!

He absolutely couldn’t let Ma Guorong and his cronies succeed!

Cheng Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, followed Geng Rui to Shen Manwen and greeted her together with Geng Rui.

"Met the executive."

Shen Manwen looked at Geng Rui with a smiling face.

"Director Geng, what do you need? You didn’t make it clear on the phone."

Geng Rui stepped aside and introduced, "Executive, this is the Deputy Town Chief of Lingshan Town—Comrade Cheng Yuan. He sought me for an important work report, and I dared not decide on my own, so I introduced him to the executive."

"Oh? What important task? Even Director Geng cannot decide?"

Shen Manwen turned to Cheng Yuan with interest.

The next second, the expression on Shen Manwen’s face froze!

Her phoenix-shaped eyes radiated menace, as if containing millennium-old ice!

Was it him?!

The jerk who tormented her all night long?! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

To this moment, she still felt some lingering pain!

Such a bold jerk!

He slept with her for a night and even dared to show up blatantly in her office?

Did he really think she was made of clay?

However, in front of Geng Rui, Shen Manwen did not erupt, struggling to suppress her anger!

Cheng Yuan’s heart skipped a beat!

It’s bad!

This look in the executive’s eyes, as if she wanted to eat him alive, she recognized him!

However, at the eleventh hour, Cheng Yuan couldn’t afford to shrink back.

Cheng Yuan tried to control his nervous emotions.

"Executive, the Weidong River project has already been approved, you know, right?"

Shen Manwen nodded with a cold face.

"That’s right, currently, I am in charge of this task."

"Executive, I am the person in charge of the Weidong River project. I am requesting to establish a special fund for the Weidong River project, managed by either the County Treasury Department or directly by the executive. Without Director Geng and the executive’s signatures, no one can touch the special fund."

Shen Manwen sensed a hint of conspiracy, her eyes growing colder.

"Why?"

"If the funds for the Weidong River project were directed to Lingshan Town, with my capability, I definitely can’t guard it, and the Weidong River project would surely turn into a shoddy project! For the safety of Lingshan Town villagers’ lives and property, I implore the executive to establish a special fund for the Weidong River!"

Shen Manwen did not directly respond to Cheng Yuan but turned to look at Geng Rui.

"Director Geng, did you come here today for anything else?"

Geng Rui instantaneously realized what Shen Manwen meant—this was an expulsion order.

"Reporting to the executive, there’s nothing else, so I’ll take my leave first. Town Chief Cheng, please do well in reporting your work to the executive."

Geng Rui left, and the pressure inside the office instantly dropped below freezing.

Although Shen Manwen’s face appeared calm, Cheng Yuan felt an enormous pressure akin to a mountain.

Cheng Yuan bowed his head, not daring to make eye contact with Shen Manwen and ultimately his gaze settled on Shen Manwen’s chest.

It must be said, Shen Manwen’s figure was simply too good!

Even the extremely conservative professional attire couldn’t contain the exaggerated dimensions that seemed to burst forth!

Cheng Yuan couldn’t control his memories from resurfacing that night when he kneaded it into various shapes.

The worst part was, he also sucked and bit like a baby.

Seemingly sensing Cheng Yuan’s improper gaze, Shen Manwen’s face darkened!

"Jerk! What are you looking at?"

Swish!

A layer of fine cold sweat popped out on Cheng Yuan’s forehead.

About to face life-and-death stakes, how could he still have the mind to think about those things?

This Deputy County Chief, who he had unexpectedly slept with, wouldn’t really send him to sew forever, would she?

Damn, a beheading either way, might as well end it quickly!

Cheng Yuan suddenly looked up.

"Executive, you..."

Shen Manwen rudely interrupted Cheng Yuan.

"I don’t believe a word you said! Spill it! Are you a man of Jin Zhanpeng and Ma Guorong?"

Gah?

Cheng Yuan was stumped, his mind went blank.

Why would the executive say this?

"Executive, you must be mistaken, I was the liaison for the previous Secretary Lan."

"Secretary Lan and Ma Guorong are archenemies. Since Secretary Lan was promoted to Lai County, Ma Guorong has been making things difficult for me every day, how could I possibly be Ma Guorong’s man?"

"If I were their man, why would I apply for the special fund for the Weidong River project?"

"Wouldn’t it be better to join them in making easy money?"

Shen Manwen looked at Cheng Yuan with skeptical eyes, her female intuition telling her that Cheng Yuan was telling the truth.

But, Cheng Yuan really had entered her room that day and did indeed, do that...

Could it be that Cheng Yuan, like her, had been set up?

Shen Manwen stared at Cheng Yuan.

"Give me a reason to believe you."

"Executive, you can send anyone to Lingshan Town to inquire, and you can confirm everything I’ve said is true."

Inquire?

Shen Manwen scoffed, what one hears and what one seeks may not necessarily represent the truth.

It’s possible they are just the ’truth’ elaborately crafted by others.

"Why wouldn’t Ma Guorong assign such a profitable project to his own confidants instead of an archenemy? Aren’t they afraid the archenemy would sabotage it from the inside?"

"That’s it! You had secretly sided with Ma Guorong long ago! You are their pawn!"
