The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 463 - 0: Reaching Consensus

Gao Jianjia had been arrested!

And at the same time, five or six department-level leaders were also captured!

This news spread instantly throughout Mingyue Villa and the entire East Mountain officialdom! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Leaders at all levels who had been waiting to see what would happen were terrified and were all looking for ways to reach the governor.

Especially those currently "resting" at Mingyue Villa, frightened like quails, contacted Zhang Gao one after another, expressing their desire to report their work to the governor.

Lin Jiangnan was busy until 12 midnight before he finished meeting the subordinates who had come to report their duties.

Of course, Lin Jiangnan couldn’t just dismiss everyone.

He reprimanded those who needed it and comforted those who needed comforting. He seized the opportunity to consolidate power at the department and section levels.

This was the first time Lin Jiangnan surpassed Gao Qiu at the middle power level!

It almost signaled that Lin Jiangnan had secured an early victory in his struggle with Gao Qiu!

Of course.

As for Nan Shouzheng, Lin Jiangnan did not forget about him either, and personally called to express his gratitude.

And he promised several very important positions.

He instantly resolved the resentment Nan Shouzheng felt from being used and established a good personal relationship with Lin Jiangnan.

Even the possibility for the two to become allies in the future was envisioned.

Despite the late hour and feeling very tired, Lin Jiangnan still didn’t go to sleep.

He was waiting for someone.

He believed that the person he was waiting for would arrive soon!

If the person he was waiting for didn’t come before dawn, he would not be polite!

Even if it caused a shake-up at the higher levels, he couldn’t care about that.

Just as Lin Jiangnan expected, his personal mobile phone rang—it was a call from Gao Qiu.

A smile, the kind belonging to a victor, appeared at the corner of Lin Jiangnan’s mouth as he modestly answered the phone.

Gao Qiu’s voice was clearly tired, his posture very humble.

"Governor, you haven’t rested so late?"

"I’ve been too busy today, who has time for sleep? Comrade Gao Qiu, have you been busy as well?"

Gao Qiu was silent for two seconds.

"Governor, could I take a few minutes of your time? I need to report on my work."

"Comrade Gao Qiu, you’re too polite. We’re comrades from the same team, you can come over anytime."

"Okay, Governor, I’m coming right now."

Five minutes later, Gao Qiu arrived at Villa Number Two.

Lin Jiangnan personally made tea for Gao Qiu.

Gao Qiu took a sip of the tea and looked very sincerely at Lin Jiangnan.

"Governor, I confess, I have not managed the security in Handong well and still had to rely on the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security to handle some disorders."

Lin Jiangnan gently said, "Comrade Gao Qiu, you’re the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, you oversee all the work and even share some of the party-building responsibilities with Secretary Zhao. It’s not your fault if people below deceive their superiors."

"It was still my oversight, my work was insufficient."

Lin Jiangnan took a sip of his tea, not continuing the conversation.

Gao Qiu continued, "Governor, Handong’s economic situation has just begun to unfold. I personally think that the case should not involve too many people, otherwise, it wouldn’t be good for the overall economic situation in Handong."

Lin Jiangnan raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Comrade Gao Qiu, what’s your suggestion?"

Gao Qiu took a deep breath, his eyes slightly reddened.

"Governor, my suggestion is to punish the main culprit harshly to serve as a warning to the others, to give the comrades who have the potential to reform an opportunity to renew themselves."

"How can we ensure they will not reoffend?"

A blatant murderous intent flickered in Gao Qiu’s eyes.

"If they dare reoffend, there’s no need for the Governor to act! I will personally take them down!"

"From now on, we in Handong Province will prioritize the overall economic development!"

"All those who harm the economic development of Handong, I will clean them up!"

Gao Qiu’s words could not have been clearer!

As long as the Governor spares me this once, from now on, I, Gao Qiu, am your sword!

You command me to kill, and I will kill!

Lin Jiangnan was very satisfied with Gao Qiu’s attitude, and took the initiative to extend his hand, "Comrade Gao Qiu, I hope we can work together to create a bright future for the people of Handong!"

"I believe that day will ultimately come!"

Lin Jiangnan’s tone shifted.

"The counties and cities are also parts of the economic development pattern of Handong. I do not wish for any disturbances or turmoil at the county or city level."

Gao Qiu immediately understood Lin Jiangnan’s meaning.

"I heard that Ji County has formed a temporary investigative team to investigate our own comrades! Isn’t this absurd?"

"That Cheng Yuan, I have already looked into him, he is a young comrade with party principles, responsibility, vigor, and fighting spirit!"

"Such a young comrade, we must boldly and exceptionally promote him, greatly emphasize his use!"

Lin Jiangnan’s mouth slightly curled upward, "I agree in principle with Comrade Gao Qiu’s opinion. Let Comrade Gao Qiu and the relevant departments in Qin Island coordinate first thing tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

With Gao Qiu taking such a humble stance, Lin Jiangnan did not pursue the matter to the bitter end.

Actually, the most important thing is, Elder Wu once had a heart transplant in South City.

If Gao Qiu were to be rigorously prosecuted, it would inevitably involve Elder Wu.

In that case, Old Master Song would have to step into the fray personally!

He couldn’t bear the consequences of that.

Lin Jiangnan took out a portable hard drive and handed it to Gao Qiu.

"Comrade Gao Qiu, this hard drive contains criminal evidence from Mingyue Villa, as well as evidence of benefits being transferred."

"Based on this evidence, and the principles we’ve just discussed, draw up a handling plan. I want to see it first thing tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Governor."
