The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 520: The Tough Jin Zhanpeng

Li Zhengqing had already investigated Cheng Yuan’s background thoroughly and gave Shen Manwen a faint glance.

"County Magistrate Manwen, according to your statements, Cheng Yuan indeed has done quite a bit of work."

"However, based on what you’ve said, the work that Comrade Cheng Yuan has done shows that he does have certain capabilities in the urban construction and political and legal sectors."

"But it doesn’t reflect his ability in attracting investment, does it?"

"Therefore, I suggest that Comrade Cheng Yuan be put into the reserve cadre pool."

"Mainly focusing on the areas of urban construction and the political and legal system, if an appropriate vacancy arises, let Comrade Cheng Yuan fill it as soon as possible."

"Rather than setting up a position that may not necessarily suit Comrade Cheng Yuan."

"County Magistrate Manwen, do you think what I have said makes sense?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Li Zhengqing’s reasoning was well-founded, and Shen Manwen couldn’t find a reason to refute, her expression turning incredibly ugly.

Could it be that Cheng Yuan’s promotion was going to fizzle out again?

Shen Manwen subconsciously glanced at Huang Qiusheng, but he was now cowering like a quail, wishing he could bury his head in his trouser crotch.

After all, Li Zhengqing was his direct superior!

Jin Zhanpeng decisively stood up from the sidelines.

"Minister Zhengqing is truly a stabilizer for our Qin Island Organization Department; your insights are indeed incisive!"

"On behalf of the Ji County Party Committee, I unconditionally support Minister Zhengqing’s wise decision!"

"Comrade Cheng Yuan is so outstanding that he should indeed be added to the reserve cadre pool! Should an appropriate vacancy arise, let Comrade Cheng Yuan fill it immediately."

Li Zhengqing and Jin Zhanpeng exchanged a tacit glance.

When the time came, whether there was a vacancy or not, how to fill it would still be up to them, wouldn’t it?

Just as Shen Manwen was feeling utterly dejected, there was a sudden noise—the office door was pushed open, and Cheng Qianqian rushed in flustered.

Shen Manwen, not in the best of moods, her face darkened as she scolded, "Qianqian, what on earth are you doing looking so panicked? Didn’t you see Minister Zhengqing is here?"

Cheng Qianqian took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, her voice trembling, "County Chief, the, the public security..."

Shen Manwen’s expression changed, "What happened with public security? Speak clearly! Has there been a serious criminal case?"

Swish!

The faces of Li Zhengqing, Jin Zhanpeng, and Huang Qiusheng all turned serious as well!

A major criminal case had a very negative impact and could affect the entire Ji County, even the whole of Qin Island!

Fortunately, what Cheng Qianqian said next made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"County Chief, there’s been no criminal case. It’s the Ministry of Public Security, someone from the Ministry of Public Security is here!"

Someone from the Ministry of Public Security was here?

The group looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Only in Shen Manwen’s eyes flashed a splendid light.

The only one in Ji County who could have anything to do with the Ministry of Public Security was Nan Xun!

And Nan Xun, together with Cheng Yuan, had taken down Gao Jianjia in the provincial capital a few days ago.

Could it be...

Shen Manwen suddenly felt like there was light at the end of the tunnel.

But Li Zhengqing was full of question marks.

Why would the Ministry of Public Security come to little Ji County?

Shouldn’t they be liaising with the provincial department?

Even the municipal bureau didn’t qualify to interact directly with the Ministry of Public Security!

What business did a small county bureau have?

Shen Manwen suppressed her excitement and said, "Since the comrades from the Ministry of Public Security have arrived, let’s discuss personnel issues another day. First, let’s go to the county bureau to receive the comrades from the Ministry of Public Security."

Jin Zhanpeng narrowed his eyes, thinking Shen Manwen was really cunning!

Was she trying to muddle through and discuss personnel later after Minister Zhengqing had left?

No!

They must settle the personnel issue while Minister Zhengqing was here!

Jin Zhanpeng looked at Shen Manwen with a plastered smile.

"The personnel issue has already been mostly discussed! We can finalize it and still have time to receive the comrades from the Ministry of Public Security afterward to the county bureau."

"County Chief, I unconditionally support Minister Zhengqing’s views, what about you?"

Shen Manwen was infuriated, this Jin Zhanpeng, he was not leaving her any room to maneuver!

"Comrade Zhanpeng, I think it’s better to first receive the comrades from the Ministry of Public Security before we continue discussing personnel matters."

"What if the comrades from the Ministry of Public Security are here to investigate a case? What if some of them are involved in the case?"

Shen Manwen’s message was clear.

She was saying it to him!

Comrade Zhanpeng!

What if the Ministry of Public Security finds you involved in a case?

What right would you have to discuss personnel matters with me?

Do you believe that I wouldn’t hand over all your dirty laundry to the comrades from the Ministry of Public Security?

Jin Zhanpeng heard the veiled warning in Shen Manwen’s words but wasn’t scared at all.

His mentor had been entrenched in the Handong Political and Legal System for decades!

He had made sure to cover his tracks thoroughly.

Even if the Ministry of Public Security were to investigate, they wouldn’t find anything conclusive; at worst, it would just look a bit bad and reflect poorly.

"If there are problems, just deal with them. What’s there to discuss?"

Shen Manwen narrowed her eyes; Jin Zhanpeng, the old fox, was pretty bold?

It seemed that he had covered his tracks quite well.

Shen Manwen had no choice but to resort to some cunning.

"Liu Xi, have the comrades from the Ministry of Public Security been in Ji County for a while now?"

As she spoke, Shen Manwen also gave Liu Xi a meaningful look.

Liu Xi understood Shen Manwen’s hint, but he did not follow her suggestion.

"County Chief, the comrades from the Ministry of Public Security didn’t go to the county bureau; they have already arrived at our county government office building and will be here shortly!"
