At the Pinnacle of Power: The Female Leader and Her Chief Advisor

In the meeting room, the people were not happy because the problem was solved; on the contrary, they felt somewhat upset.

Such a major accident was resolved by Lu Ming in just two days.

The driver was not at fault, thus upholding fairness and justice.

The family members did not cause a scene, and their anger was appeased.

The district government readily provided the money, and the matter was perfectly resolved!

In other places, such a serious traffic accident would take at least one or two months to resolve.

But now, it only took two days!

And he solved it all by himself!

Lu Ming's abilities were so outstanding that they made the others seem like useless good-for-nothings in comparison.

Wu Yun was in a bad mood and didn't want to stay there any longer. She said, "Now that the matter is resolved, let's go back."

Lu Ming stopped her and said, "Director Wu, don't worry. The compensation has been resolved, but it's only a temporary solution."

Wu Yun raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lu Ming said, "Traffic accidents caused by funeral processions happen almost every year. If we don't address the root cause of the problem, such incidents will continue to occur in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wu scoffed, "Secretary Lu, are you implying you want to completely abandon this kind of thing?"

"I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but even city officials wouldn't dare to guarantee that."

"I'm curious, where does your confidence come from?"

Lu Ming chuckled and said, "Just because you don't have the ability doesn't mean I don't."

Wu Yun said sarcastically, "Yes, we have all witnessed Secretary Lu's abilities."

"Since you're so capable, then go and solve this problem. If you can truly resolve this issue at its root, that will be a great achievement."

"Given Secretary Lu's style, he probably won't share such a large portion of the credit with us, will he?"

Anyone could hear the resentment in her words; she was clearly dissatisfied with Lu Ming handling the compensation issue alone.

At the same time, these words were also intended to incite confrontation and make Lu Ming a public enemy.

Lu Ming laughed and said, "Hey, Director Wu was right. I really was planning to share the credit with everyone."

"However, from what Director Wu said, it seems that he doesn't want this credit."

"Since that's the case, I won't force you. It won't affect me much if one less person shares the credit."

Wu Yun raised an eyebrow, her mind filled with suspicion.

Is this guy really that confident he can completely solve the problem?

Is that... even possible?

Let alone a mere secretary like you, even if a city official came, they couldn't stop the deceased's family from attending the funeral!

Although she didn't have a good impression of Lu Ming, she had to admit that he was indeed very capable.

After thinking it over, Wu Yun sat back down.

The others also didn't believe that Lu Ming could completely solve the problem.

Believe it or not, stay and take a look; you have plenty of time.

Zhou Lin took out her phone and kept sending messages to Li Ping.

When Li Ping learned that Lu Ming had settled the compensation, he was completely stunned.

Is Chen Ning an idiot?

They actually agreed to Lu Ming's compensation plan?

Zhou Lin felt her position as secretary was in jeopardy and asked, "Director Li, what should I do now?"

They had hoped that Lu Ming would escalate the situation and make it unmanageable, but who would have thought that he would actually resolve it!

In the process of handling this accident, she was completely outmatched by Lu Ming.

"Don't worry, don't worry, there's still a chance to turn things around!"

Although he comforted Zhou Lin in this way, Li Ping couldn't think of a solution for the time being.

Lu Ming's abilities are excessively strong, far surpassing those of a mere department head.

Xu Ru returned shortly afterward and said, "The compensation will be transferred to the deceased's family in full before noon today."

Lu Ming nodded, dialed the deceased's family's number, and told them to pay attention to the text messages and let him know as soon as they received the money.

At 10:40, Lu Ming received a call saying that the compensation had been fully received.

Lu Ming put down his phone and said to everyone, "Let's go."

The group followed Lu Ming to the parking lot, and Wu Yun asked curiously, "Where are we going?"

Lu Ming replied, "The CPPCC."

After saying that, Lu Ming got into the car and said to Zhou Lin, who was still in a daze, "Get in."

"Oh, oh, oh."

Zhou Lin quickly got into the car.

The others also got into their cars and followed Lu Ming to the CPPCC.

After getting into the car, Xu Ru drove while talking on the phone with Chen Ning.

"He took us to the CPPCC (Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference)."

"CPPCC?"

Chen Ning looked bewildered. Why go to the CPPCC to solve the problem at its source?

On the way, Zhou Lin kept secretly texting Li Ping.

When Li Ping heard that Lu Ming wanted to solve the problem completely, he thought it was utter nonsense.

How could such a thing be subject to human will?

But based on his understanding of Lu Ming, this guy wasn't one to boast.

Could he really solve it?

Even if it's true, why share such a big credit with Wu Yun and the others? Wouldn't it be better to enjoy it all by yourself?

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

He couldn't understand it, of course, because Lu Ming never cared about merit or achievement; what he valued more was his reputation.

……

Upon arriving at the CPPCC (Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference), Wu Yun asked again, "What are we doing here?"

Lu Ming didn't say anything and went straight into the building.

Seeing that he was ignoring her like this, Wu Yun felt a surge of anger welling up inside her.

The group arrived at the high-ranking official's office, and Lu Ming politely asked, "Is Chairman Li here?"

The secretary blinked and asked, "Secretary Lu, is there something you need from Chairman Li?"

Lu Ming replied, "I was in a car accident the day before yesterday, and I wanted to ask Chairman Li for help."

His answer puzzled the secretary even more, since accidents weren't under the jurisdiction of the CPPCC!

However, since everyone had already arrived, he couldn't stop them from seeing him.

"Secretary Lu, please wait a moment."

The secretary went into the office and soon came out to invite them in.

Chairman Li used to be a leader in the municipal government, but he retired to a secondary position as he got older.

In terms of real power, he is indeed not as powerful as before, but his network of connections remains extremely extensive.

"Please sit down."

Chairman Li greeted everyone with a smile, and after his secretary poured tea for each person, he withdrew.

"I just heard from Xiao Liu that Secretary Lu came to see me because of the car accident the day before yesterday?"

"I'm from the CPPCC, I'm afraid I can't help you much."

Chairman Li blocked Lu's path before he even had a chance to speak.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Chairman Li, you are being too modest. Everyone in Songxi knows that you have a wide network of connections."

"During your tenure, Songxi was thriving and prosperous, both in terms of economy and public security."

Chairman Li's smile was undisguised, but his political intentions remained unchanged.

He had made up his mind that no matter what Lu Ming said today, he would not change his mind.

As Wu Yun and the others listened to Lu Ming's flattery, they thought to themselves that this guy was really good with his tongue.

"Chairman Li, you must have heard about the car accident the day before yesterday. I'm here today to address this problem at its root."

"But this is a problem that no other leader in Songxi can solve; only you have the ability to do it."

Director Li was greatly surprised to hear this. He had thought that Lu Ming had come for the compensation, but he didn't expect that he was here to solve the problem at its root.

At this moment, he couldn't help but become curious and said with a smile, "Do I really have that much power?"
