The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 55 - 00: An Irrefutable Dinner Invitation

Chapter 55: Chapter 0055: An Irrefutable Dinner Invitation

Cheng Yuan’s face instantly filled with a brilliant smile as he quickly stepped forward to greet the visitor.

"Mayor, you could have just called me if you needed anything. Why come here personally?"

Jiang Yongchang smiled and said, "Who doesn’t know that Mayor Cheng is about to soar to great heights? I wouldn’t dare neglect you!"

"Mayor, are you trying to flatter me to death? Just tell me what you need! If I can do it, I’ll definitely follow through!"

Jiang Yongchang rubbed his hands together somewhat sheepishly.

"Xiao Cheng, my brother-in-law would like to have a meal with you. Are you free for lunch or dinner?"

Cheng Yuan’s head felt as big as a bucket.

Here it comes again!

And it was an invitation he couldn’t refuse.

"Let’s do lunch, I have to report to the executive this afternoon, and I probably won’t have time in the evening. The executive is putting quite a bit of pressure on me; I must get the workgroup organized by tomorrow, and I’m still short three people."

"It’s hard to find a toad with two legs, but people with two legs are everywhere. Shall I arrange a few capable and strong individuals for you?"

When Lan Songtao and Ma Guorong were at odds, Jiang Yongchang had remained neutral. After Lan Songtao left, Jiang Yongchang didn’t kick him while he was down; instead, he had protected him a few times. Cheng Yuan was quite grateful to him.

"Then I’ll trouble you, Mayor, to recommend some colleagues with engineering experience or who have graduated from engineering schools."

"No problem, see you at noon!"

Soon, Jiang Yongchang recommended three people.

Two men and one woman.

They were named Sun Liwei, Zhang Jiahao, and Lin Xin.

Cheng Yuan had a brief chat with the three, just to get a general understanding of their situations.

While chatting, Cheng Yuan sent a message to Yan Wenzheng.

"Secretary Yan, the Mayor just recommended three people, Sun Liwei, Zhang Jiahao, and Lin Xin. Are they reliable?"

"Sun Liwei and Zhang Jiahao are relatives of the Jiang family. As for this Lin Xin, I’m not too sure about her background. If you’re not confident, you can assign her some less critical administrative tasks."

"Understood."

Cheng Yuan looked at the three with a smile and began assigning tasks.

"Liwei, go and check out the local and surrounding cement factories. Try to get the best value while ensuring quality."

"Yes, Mayor Cheng."

"Jiahao, you go and check out the local and surrounding steel mills. Try to get the best value while ensuring quality."

"Yes, Mayor Cheng."

Cheng Yuan turned to Lin Xin and said gently, "Lin Xin, you’ll handle the administrative tasks. I’ll send you the contact information for all members of the Weidong River project team and the contractors shortly. You will take care of the logistics for our colleagues and our communication with the contractors."

"Yes, Mayor Cheng."

Cheng Yuan grinned broadly, enjoying the feeling of having great authority.

Bustling about made time fly quickly.

The morning passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yongchang pushed open the office door and said warmly, "Xiao Cheng, stop working; it’s time to knock off and go eat."

Cheng Yuan looked at his watch—it was almost noon!

Time really flies!

Thanks to Jiang Yongchang, Cheng Yuan had the privilege of riding in Lingshan Town’s number two car.

At the entrance of Lingfeng Grand Hotel, a man and a woman were standing.

The man was short and fat, sporting a large gold chain and big gold teeth; he looked like a gangster type.

The woman was well made-up, big waves in her hair, with a very curvaceous figure!

The exaggerated size, definitely an E!

Or even bigger than E!

"Xiao Cheng, that’s my brother-in-law Li Xinguang, and the woman next to him is his secretary, Wang Na."

Li Xinguang, all smiles, came forward and extended his hand eagerly to Cheng Yuan.

"Mayor Cheng, right? I’ve heard so much about you."

Cheng Yuan shook hands with Li Xinguang and replied warmly, "Mr. Li, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you."

Wang Na stepped forward, her voice delicate, "Hello Mayor, hello Mayor Cheng."

Li Xinguang laughed, "Nana, today you must take good care of both the Mayor and Mayor Cheng."

Jiang Yongchang quickly waved his hand.

"I’ll pass, but Wang Na, your main task today is to take good care of Xiao Cheng."

"Please rest assured, Mayor, I guarantee to complete the task."

Wang Na moved closer and clung tightly to Cheng Yuan’s arm, her large E’s bouncing and swaying, making Cheng Yuan quite dizzy.

Those were like two footballs!

This Mr. Li surely knew the game.

Soon after, the four entered a private room.

At Cheng Yuan’s insistence, Jiang Yongchang reluctantly took the head seat.

Cheng Yuan was arranged to sit on Jiang Yongchang’s right, with Wang Na beside him to attend to him.

Jiang Yongchang picked up his glass and looked at Cheng Yuan appreciatively.

"Xiao Cheng, I’ve always known you’re not someone to be confined to a small pond. That idiot Ma Guorong could never hold you down! You’re definitely destined to soar! This is for you!"

Cheng Yuan waved his hands continuously.

"Mayor, I should be toasting you. It’s thanks to your repeated support that I’ve been able to hold on until now, until springtime."

"Hahaha, cheers!"

"Mayor, let me toast you one more. With Ma Guorong hospitalized from the accident, it’s unlikely he’ll make it; you have a high chance of being the next secretary of the party committee."

"So, I should take it as a good omen from Xiao Cheng?"

After a shared disparagement of Ma Guorong, their relationship improved significantly.

Jiang Yongchang subtly gave a signal to Li Xinguang, who pulled out a thick envelope and slid it across to Cheng Yuan.

"Mayor Cheng, you and my brother-in-law are our own people. Please take care of my business! This is just a small token, kindly accept it."

Cheng Yuan forced a smile; the dilemma had indeed arrived!

To accept or not to accept the money?
