The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 515 There’s Definitely a Trap Here

"I still..."

Shen Manwen stood up, interrupting Jin Zhanpeng’s words with an enthusiastic invitation.

"Secretary Zhanpeng, please don’t be polite, sit down."

As a County Chief, Shen Manwen had personally stood up to invite him, and if Jin Zhanpeng didn’t accept this courtesy, it would have been quite awkward.

Even though Jin Zhanpeng was reluctant, he could only reluctantly sit down with a forced smile.

Cheng Qianqian was very displeased with Jin Zhanpeng, but now, as the major secretary of the County Chief, she distinguished the importance of the situation and very politely offered him fragrant tea, then tactfully exited the office.

Shen Manwen didn’t directly jump to the main topic but smiled amiably at Jin Zhanpeng.

"I hear Secretary Jin has recently taken a fondness to going fishing at sea?"

Jin Zhanpeng’s pupils slightly contracted and a fine sweat beaded on his forehead.

This Shen Manwen, she was clearly signaling something to him!

Indeed, he had gone fishing at sea several times over the last few days with friends from the City Disciplinary Committee.

It had taken a Herculean effort to completely clear his son from trouble. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Shen Manwen was telling him that she knew all of his little movements, and moreover, she had the capability to completely ruin his son!

"As one gets older, one should have some hobbies, right?"

Jin Zhanpeng’s words seemed casual, but his tone was very firm.

He was clearly telling Shen Manwen.

An old man like me, who only has a beloved son!

No one is allowed to harm my son!

The corners of Shen Manwen’s mouth turned up slightly—she merely wanted to signal him slightly, and achieving this effect was enough.

Shen Manwen didn’t linger on this issue, her tone shifted, becoming more serious.

"This time I sought out Secretary Zhanpeng and Minister Qiu Sheng to discuss the personnel issues in Ji County."

Jin Zhanpeng’s breath hitched!

Shen Manwen really intended to get involved in personnel matters!

If Shen Manwen hadn’t mentioned fishing, hadn’t implicated his son, Jin Zhanpeng would have undoubtedly opposed her!

What would happen after the new secretary they appointed arrives following your personnel adjustments, Shen Manwen?

Yet, with the potential issue concerning his son, he found himself unable to voice any opposition.

Huang Qiusheng’s stance was quite clear.

"After Liu Song’s downfall, many of the Liu Faction’s cadres are still in office, which obviously isn’t suitable. I support the County Chief unconditionally! Personnel must undergo a major adjustment!"

Jin Zhanpeng glanced sharply at Huang Qiusheng, sure that Huang Qiusheng must have reached some agreement with Shen Manwen—otherwise, he wouldn’t willingly play Shen’s pawn!

Jin Zhanpeng cleared his throat.

"County Chief, Comrade Qiusheng, isn’t a large-scale adjustment somewhat inappropriate?"

Huang Qiusheng looked at Shen Manwen without uttering a word, and Shen Manwen smiled slightly.

"Comrade Zhanpeng is correct. Let’s do as Comrade Zhanpeng suggests, first making small-scale personnel adjustments. If necessary, we can make large-scale adjustments later."

Jin Zhanpeng almost wanted to curse!

What did Shen Manwen mean?

How did it end up following his suggestion?

She had decided to make him take the blame!

Just as Jin Zhanpeng was about to object, Shen Manwen continued, "The Deputy Secretary of the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee, Liang Kuan, is suspected of engaging in power-for-money and power-for-sex deals, with clear evidence and involving large sums. The City Disciplinary Committee has already taken action and has taken him into custody to confess his issues at a designated location and time."

A chill ran through Jin Zhanpeng’s heart!

He was very close to Liang Kuan on a day-to-day basis!

More than that, they even shared a kind of ’in-law’ relationship by walking some of the same shady paths.

Was Shen Manwen planning a harsh move?

Jin Zhanpeng’s heart nearly jumped out of his throat as he struggled to control his emotions.

He vehemently denounced Liang Kuan.

"I can’t believe Liang Kuan would break the laws he knew so well. Such a corrupt element must be dealt with strictly and severely!"

Shen Manwen was well aware that Jin Zhanpeng was performing a act, watching him with a playful smile.

"Secretary Zhanpeng, since your son works in the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee, you must be quite familiar with the comrades there. What do you think, who could be competent to serve as the Deputy Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee?"

Jin Zhanpeng’s eyes darted around frantically, unable to keep up.

What did Shen Manwen mean?

Having removed Liang Kuan at great effort, wasn’t she just seeking to completely control the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee?

Why ask his opinion?

Jin Zhanpeng wracked his brain but couldn’t decipher Shen Manwen’s intentions, and dared not catch this hot potato, instead passing it to Huang Qiusheng.

"Comrade Qiusheng was previously from the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee, he has more of a say than I do."

Not pleased, Shen Manwen rolled her eyes—a big, obvious one. Was Jin Zhanpeng scared out of his wits?

To what extent?

He’s even afraid to accept a benefit?

If it weren’t for worrying about him meddling in Cheng Yuan’s appointment, she wouldn’t have offered him this favorable opportunity.

Huang Qiusheng had already communicated with Shen Manwen and felt no psychological pressure, stating boldly, "Since Secretary Zhanpeng has asked me to speak, then I’ll speak frankly."

"Currently, there is a push for younger leadership cadres."

"And in the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee, there just happen to be several outstanding young cadres!"

"For example, the Director of the First Supervision and Inspection Room of Ji County Disciplinary Inspection Committee—Comrade Jin Pengfei!"

Jin Zhanpeng’s mind exploded!

Under normal circumstances, if someone were to recommend his son for the position of Deputy Secretary of the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee, he would be ecstatically jumping with joy!

But this suggestion came from Shen Manwen!

There must be a trap inside!

Furthermore, a huge trap!

He absolutely couldn’t agree!
