The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 473: Let’s Talk About Your Career Plans

Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Let’s Talk About Your Career Plans

Cheng Yuan smiled politely at Zhang Ming and Liu Guangming, and under the complex gazes of the leaders, who were both envious and puzzled, he entered the Provincial Governor’s office.

The gazes of many leaders turned towards him!

"Director Zhang, what’s the background of that young man? Why is the Governor meeting with him?"

"Comrade Guangming, you seemed to have a lively chat with that young fellow, what’s his story?"

Zhang Ming and Liu Guangming looked at each other and smiled wryly.

"The young man who just came claimed his name is Cheng Yuan, the Deputy Director of Ji County Government Office."

Deputy Director of Ji County Government Office?

All the leaders were flabbergasted!

A mere Deputy Division level official was receiving the honor of being the second person greeted?

Cheng Yuan didn’t care whether the leaders could accept it or not, his excited heart was thumping wildly!

Two months ago, he was just a Deputy Town Chief, arbitrarily toyed with by Ma Guorong.

In just two short months, he was about to become a Division Chief, and moreover, he had received an audience with the Provincial Governor!

He had entered onto the expressway of officialdom!

As long as he developed normally, in ten years, the likes of Ma Guorong, the likes of Jin Zhanpeng, would all be trampled under his feet!

Cheng Yuan took a deep breath and strode up to the office desk.

He bowed deeply to Lin Jiangnan.

"Good day, Governor!"

Lin Jiangnan set down the document, looked at Cheng Yuan with interest, and in Cheng Yuan, he saw the vigorous vitality and the unyielding spirit.

That was just like him in his early days!

Back then, he too fast-tracked his career in officialdom because Old Master Shen had taken notice of him.

Now, he had become a central force within the Shen-Song faction, and also had the capacity to nurture the younger generation.

"Cheng Yuan, share your thoughts with me," said Lin Jiangnan.

Cheng Yuan was startled; the topic was too broad, he didn’t know where to begin.

Lin Jiangnan gave him a hint, "Tell me, why did you come to the Provincial Capital? The Weidong River project encountered problems, didn’t it? Shouldn’t you be looking for evidence to clear Yang Lei and your sister from the accusations?"

Cheng Yuan reported respectfully.

"Governor, it should be the Joint Investigation Team that looks for the evidence since ’he who asserts must prove.’"

"If I went searching for evidence, I’d be playing into a lesser strategy. Even if I found evidence of false accusations, I could at best just barely protect myself, and it wouldn’t solve the problem once and for all."

"Therefore, I chose to counter-attack, to target where it hurts them the most!"

Lin Jiangnan raised his eyebrows; this kid’s thinking was too clear!

And very bold!

The most precious thing was that he had, with his own power, completed what seemed like an impossible task!

"Talk about your relationship with Nan Xun."

Cheng Yuan’s head buzzed, almost exploding!

Damn, did the Governor find something out?

Had his dealings with Nan Xun been exposed?

Just as Cheng Yuan was unsure how to answer, Lin Jiangnan continued, "As far as I understand, Nan Xun seems to have a rather low opinion of you. Why then did she cooperate so fully with your actions this time?"

Cheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, the Governor didn’t know the inside story.

What the Governor must be asking about was why Nan Xun would let her uncle take the fall.

"Governor, Captain Nan indeed has some personal grievances against me."

"But she is extremely serious and responsible in her work and doesn’t let her personal feelings interfere with her professional duties."

"Captain Nan came to South City to investigate the disappearance of young girls in Mo City, and our meeting was purely coincidental."

"It was because of her overwhelming sense of justice, not me, that she sought help from the Ministry of Public Security."

Lin Jiangnan raised his eyebrows, not entirely convinced by Cheng Yuan’s words.

Nan Xun was famously known to dislike men, yet she had stormed into Duke Mansion alongside this young scoundrel, standing firm as his guard and ensuring his safety.

How could she care about Cheng Yuan’s safety and well-being if there were no story between them?

Of course, Lin Jiangnan didn’t probe further.

If someone managed to handle the Queen of the Night, that was their skill.

He himself had not also...

"Xiao Cheng, discuss your career plans with me," Lin Jiangnan prompted.

Cheng Yuan blinked, facing yet another significant topic. How should he respond?

Cheng Yuan answered cautiously, "Governor, my career plans are quite simple: to do more practical work for the people, to progress step by step, honestly and steadily. Within five years to become a Division Chief, within ten years to be a Deputy Department Head, and to enjoy the treatment of a Department Head before retirement is sufficient for me."

Cheng Yuan was very modest, and of course, this goal was what most grassroots workers aspired to.

Lin Jiangnan glared, "My time is precious, talk human."

Cheng Yuan jumped in fright, but he was still somewhat troubled, unsure of how to speak.

"Pretend I’m a family elder, and just talk casually. Say whatever comes to mind," Lin Jiangnan said.

Cheng Yuan breathed a bit easier, his gratitude and fondness for the Governor soaring rapidly!

The Governor’s words meant he intended to foster him like a nephew!

"Since that’s the case, I’ll speak openly."

"Governor, what I want to do most is work on anti-corruption," Cheng Yuan reported.

Anti-corruption?

Lin Jiangnan frowned.

"Cheng Yuan, the discipline department is pyramid-shaped; the advancement is quite fast at the beginning, but it narrows towards the middle."

"If after reaching the middle ranks, you then move to the administrative department, your ground-level work experience will be lacking."

"I personally don’t recommend you to invest deeply in the departments of power."
