The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 517: Promote the Virtuous Without Avoiding Relatives

Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Promote the Virtuous Without Avoiding Relatives

Jin Zhanpeng felt for the first time what it was to be utterly powerless when being sidelined!

Even when Liu Song was in office, he had to bargain with him, leaving bones for him after having his own fill of meat.

But Shen Manwen wouldn’t even leave him a drop of soup!

Furthermore, she expected him to clean the pots!

It was just too much!

"County Chief, currently, there is no precedent in Ji County for a town party committee secretary to serve as a standing committee member of the county party committee."

Shen Manwen smiled lightly.

"Comrade Zhanpeng, let me ask you a question, before Liu Song, was there a precedent for our Ji County Party secretary to also serve as a member of the city’s standing committee?"

"This..."

Jin Zhanpeng was left speechless.

Indeed!

Before Liu Song, there truly was no precedent for the county party secretary to be a member of the city’s standing committee.

If Liu Song could do it, why couldn’t Liang Zhong?

"I reserve my opinion."

Jin Zhanpeng was still quite cautious, leaving himself an out, even though the situation was already beyond salvaging.

When the new county party secretary arrived, he could pin the blame on Shen Manwen during the assessment.

Shen Manwen nodded, once again offering a sweetener to Jin Zhanpeng.

"Comrade Zhanpeng, with Comrade Liang Zhong gone, who do you think can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Investment Bureau? Rest assured, you can boldly make a recommendation, including but not limited to comrades from the Investment Bureau."

Shen Manwen’s hint was quite clear, even if you nominate your darling son, I will agree.

But Jin Zhanpeng, already wary of Shen Manwen’s tricks, didn’t bite and quickly passed the ball to Huang Qiusheng.

"Comrade Qiusheng’s sister-in-law works at the Investment Bureau, he must be very familiar with it. Let’s have Comrade Qiusheng recommend a reliable comrade."

Huang Qiusheng once again brought up Jin Pengfei.

"Secretary Zhanpeng has just mentioned that Comrade Pengfei lacks experience and cannot serve as the deputy secretary of the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee, which I think makes perfect sense!"

"Therefore, I propose to appoint Comrade Pengfei as the head of the Investment Bureau to gain some experience working in different departments, which will be of great help for his future advancement."

Jin Zhanpeng’s face turned green!

What was going on?

He hadn’t offended Huang Qiusheng!

Why would Huang suggest such a rotten idea?

The Investment Bureau was the County Chief’s personal domain; why would Shen Manwen place an enemy’s child in such an important position?

Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?

Jin Zhanpeng shook his head like a rattle drum.

"No! No!"

"Pengfei is too inexperienced and lacks the necessary background to take on such a heavy responsibility. It’s better for him to accumulate a few more years of experience in his current position before considering any adjustments."

Shen Manwen was getting impatient.

Jin Zhanpeng, why are you so timid?

If I don’t promote your son, how can I justify promoting Cheng Yuan?

Besides, setting up a competition in the same position would highlight Cheng Yuan’s capability!

Later on, when promoting Cheng Yuan, Jin Zhanpeng wouldn’t have anything to say!

Shen Manwen interrupted Jin Zhanpeng with an irrefutable tone.

"Comrade Zhanpeng, I understand your feelings."

"But merit should not be obscured by kinship, so don’t refuse!"

"The Investment Bureau is directly under the county government."

"As for the appointment of the director of the Investment Bureau, I, as the County Chief, have the most say!"

"I have reviewed Comrade Pengfei’s profile; he graduated from the finance department and surely has unique insights into attracting investment!"

"That settles it. We’ll discuss it in the meeting later, and if no one opposes, we’ll proceed with the formalities."

Jin Zhanpeng felt completely numb!

What was happening?

Had Shen Manwen taken the wrong medication?

Why insist on stuffing a pie into his mouth when he wanted to vomit?

Before Jin Zhanpeng could think of a counter-strategy, Huang Qiusheng, with a smile, gave a cupped fist salute: "Secretary Zhanpeng, congratulations! The Jin family has a successor!"

A successor my face!

Jin Zhanpeng was so angry, his nose was almost crooked!

But he couldn’t erupt in anger!

Because, on the surface, his son indeed received a promotion!

It was just that he didn’t understand what Shen Manwen was up to.

Jin Zhanpeng mustered a great deal of willpower to force out a smile uglier than crying.

"County Chief, regarding the vacancy left by Pengfei as the director of the First Supervision and Inspection Room, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Shen Manwen shrugged her shoulders. She had no interest in a trivial deputy director position, speaking indifferently, "I won’t interfere with that, let the Disciplinary Committee make their own decision."

Shen Manwen picked up her teacup, sipped lightly, and with a subtle glance, signaled Huang Qiusheng, whose pupils constricted slightly—the real business was about to begin!

Huang Qiusheng cleared his throat and said, "County Chief, Secretary Zhanpeng, there’s another personnel issue I’d like to discuss."

Shen Manwen nodded slightly.

Jin Zhanpeng became somewhat alert. What stunt was old Huang pulling now?

Surely he wasn’t setting another trap for him?

"Comrade Qiusheng, as the head of the organization department, you have significant influence over personnel appointments, please speak your mind!"

Huang Qiusheng nodded slightly to Jin Zhanpeng, then spoke gravely, "The Weidong River project has been satisfactorily completed and passed the comprehensive acceptance by the city’s construction bureau."

"That’s no easy feat! After all, there were serious quality issues with the foundation piles of the Weidong River project!"

"Cheng Yuan, as the chief engineer of the Weidong River project, has played an indispensable role!"

"I suggest that Cheng Yuan be exceptionally promoted to a full-section-level official!"
