Chapter 0056: Response Strategy

Cheng Yuan was really stuck between a rock and a hard place.

If he didn't accept the money, he would definitely offend Jiang Yongchang.

Having offended both the Party Committee Secretary and the Mayor, could he even consider continuing to work there?

Even if Shen Manwen truly protected him, in Lingshan Town he would still have trouble at every turn.

But if he took the money,

in front of Jiang Yongchang, he could basically forget about standing on any principles!

The moment Jiang Yongchang got into trouble, he was sure to be unlucky as well.

For most people, this would be an unsolvable dilemma, a dead end.

Caught between two evils, one could only reluctantly accept the money and become bound to Jiang Yongchang.

This was the helplessness within the system.

Sometimes, it's not that you want to be corrupt, but some people force you into it, and you have no choice but to be corrupt!
