The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 474: Haughty First, Respectful Later

Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Haughty First, Respectful Later

Cheng Yuan looked at Lin Jiangnan with eyes full of gratitude. Lin Jiangnan speaking to him so candidly truly regarded him as a nephew.

This was definitely a heart-to-heart talk!

However, Cheng Yuan chose to stick to his own ideas.

"Thank you, Governor, for your heartfelt words. The reason I chose to fight corruption was inspired and influenced by the current international situation."

The current international situation?

Lin Jiangnan raised his eyebrows with interest as he looked at Cheng Yuan.

This young fellow, a mere deputy section-level cadre, dared to discuss international affairs with him, a top provincial official?

"Go on."

"Yes, Governor."

"The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is escalating. Normally, with Russia’s power, they could easily overpower Ukraine! However, due to severe corruption within Russia and deeply infiltrated traitors, Russia’s military secrets have been repeatedly leaked! It has caused the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which should have been over in months, to stretch on for three years."

"Furthermore, the crisis in the Middle East is intensifying! Similarly, due to domestic corruption, spies infiltrate extensively! This has led to the exposure and elimination of several resistance leaders’ positions in the Middle East."

"We are bound to confront the Americans sooner or later! We need to take the experiences of Russia and the resistance in the Middle East as lessons, and start laying out anti-corruption measures in advance! We must strive to win the future battle of national fortune!"

"As for my own future compared to our national destiny, it’s not worth mentioning."

Cheng Yuan spoke openly and passionately, and even Lin Jiangnan, an experienced politician, was somewhat moved!

In his younger days, he too was like Cheng Yuan, full of passion, constantly thinking of serving the country and pleading for the people.

But the environment is just so, and he gradually lost his innocence and had to conform.

And now, that buried innocence was gradually being ignited again by Cheng Yuan!

Lin Jiangnan looked deeply at Cheng Yuan.

"Cheng Yuan, I didn’t expect you to have such a grand vision."

"I take back what I said earlier. I support your deep involvement in the power department!"

"However, there is still enough time before the battle for national fortune. You still have time to complete your grassroots experience, first help Manwen with investment promotion, and we’ll discuss further later."

There’s one thing Lin Jiangnan didn’t tell Cheng Yuan.

If the battle for national fortune can be completely victorious, the importance of fighting corruption in the power department goes without saying.

It might break the bottleneck in the power department and take the final step.

Cheng Yuan quickly stood at attention and said loudly, "Yes, Governor!"

Lin Jiangnan nodded satisfactorily, "Bring Mayor Zhou in."

"Yes."

Cheng Yuan bowed deeply to Lin Jiangnan, then carefully backed towards the door until he turned and pushed it open.

Although he had only stayed in Lin Jiangnan’s office for a bit over ten minutes, Cheng Yuan felt like his back was drenched with sweat!

The pressure the Governor put on him was really too great!

After all, this was Handong’s second-in-command, and very likely to become a top provincial official once Secretary Zhao stepped down!

The waiting leaders looked at Cheng Yuan with complex eyes, faintly mixed with awe.

What kind of background did this young man have?

Certainly not just a simple deputy director of the Ji County Government Office.

Otherwise, why would the Governor meet him for a full fifteen minutes?

Remember, Secretary Liang had only reported for five minutes just now!

Cheng Yuan bowed slightly to Mayor Zhou and very politely said, "Mayor Zhou, the Governor is expecting you."

Mayor Zhou nodded kindly at Cheng Yuan before entering the office.

Under the leaders’ watchful eyes, Cheng Yuan walked briskly away.

When he reached the end of the line, Cheng Yuan cast a puzzled look around but did not see Zhang Ming’s figure.

Cheng Yuan asked somewhat curiously, "District Chief Liu, where is Director Zhang? Do I still need to buy him pancakes?"

Liu Guangming looked embarrassed and completely at a loss for words.

Fortunately, Zhang Ming had returned, sparing him from awkwardness.

"Xiao Cheng, aren’t you mocking me? The Governor had such important matters to discuss with you! How could I dare to delay you? This is the breakfast I just got for you, if you don’t mind, you could make do with it?"

Cheng Yuan’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, thoroughly confused by Zhang Ming’s actions.

Why this Director Zhang displayed such deference after just fifteen minutes?

Of course, Cheng Yuan would not refuse Zhang Ming’s kindness.

After all, the Finance Department was akin to the God of Wealth, no matter where he went or what position he held, he would need it.

"Director Zhang, I appreciate your kindness, thank you for the breakfast!"

"Xiao Cheng, let’s exchange phone numbers. If you need money in the future, feel free to contact me."

"That would be my honor." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Nearby, Liu Guangming’s heart also itched; this young man, able to be received by the Governor for fifteen minutes, must definitely be a scion from a prominent family in the Capital!

He would definitely be a great help when needing to advance through governmental departments in the future!

"Xiao Cheng, since we’ve met, it’s fate, shall we also exchange phone numbers?"

Cheng Yuan certainly couldn’t ask for more, Liu Guangming was a director-level leader!

Put in Ji County, that would be either the County Party Secretary or the County Chief!

Such connections were only beneficial!

Just as the three were enjoying their conversation, Cheng Yuan’s phone suddenly rang—it was a message from Shen Manwen.

"Little guy, when are you coming back? I have a little surprise for you."
