Chapter 19

The office was air-conditioned, but Zhong Zunshi was sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of water.

With his intelligence, he had already figured out many things in the few minutes he met Kong Xiuyao.

For example, why did Wang Jianglin leave a first-tier city alone and not develop it?

Another example was why Wang Jianglin had many preferential policies towards Ping Xu Village and tolerated the unruly villagers. No matter how much money he spent, he had to develop it personally.

All of this was to repay his master!

Zhong Zunshi kept cursing herself in her heart. She actually didn’t realize the reason why Wang Jianglin transferred her to Quanhe Province. Not only did she not deal with the Pingxu Village matter properly, her subordinates even beat up his master’s childhood friend…

Zhong Zunshi was so nervous that he was incoherent. “President Wang… I… I don’t know… There are so many people under me… I can’t manage them all…”

“Can’t manage it?” Wang Jianglin raised his voice. “Didn’t I tell you that Pingxu Village is very important before I came?! I asked you to keep an eye on it personally! It’s just a village, and you can’t keep an eye on it?”

Zhong Zunshi had wanted to say that the villagers had been fighting fiercely for the demolition benefit, but who knew that an outsider had sneaked in.

However, Zhong Zunshi could not say anything when he looked up and met Wang Jianglin’s gaze.

He knew very well that the last thing his boss would listen to was excuses. Anything more would be an excuse.

If it were in the past, Zhong Zunshi would have long given several treatment plans for ABCD. After all, he was good at figuring out Wang Jianglin’s thoughts. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to sit in the top position.

But the person in charge now was Kong Xiuyao. How could he satisfy him?

Zhong Zunshi stole a glance at Kong Xiuyao and tried to guess his emotions from his expression, trying to find the solution that satisfied him the most.

He looked at it seriously for a few times, but he realized that Kong Xiuyao was as still as a mountain. His face was as calm as water, and his eyes were calm, as if there were many words hidden inside, but also as if he didn’t say anything.

“An expert! A true expert!” Zhong Zunshi praised secretly and buried his head in his chest.

Wang Jianglin couldn’t take it anymore. “Are you an ostrich!”

He had been in the business world for many years and had encountered all kinds of terrible things, but he had always dealt with all the trouble with the skills taught by his master. He never expected that his most trusted leader would actually be a pig teammate.

Zhong Zunshi dropped the chain at the critical moment and even put it around Wang Jianglin’s neck. He held it in until his face turned red, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.

“Old Wang, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of the homestead.” Kong Xiuyao quickly tried to smooth things over when he saw the tense atmosphere between the two.

Wang Jianglin obediently restrained his anger and said, “It’s a lesson. Wait a moment. I’ll personally go to the village and ask them to return the homestead to your friend!”

“Forget it, Senior Brother. Master wants to personally seek justice for Brother Shen.” Qiu Lingruo took the opportunity to mock Wang Jianglin. “Besides, do you think Song will definitely recognize you at a glance? He might even beat you up!”

It was a waste of her talent not to do crosstalk, but it made sense. The chances of Song Ding seeing Wang Jianglin in person were lower than seeing a ghost. She definitely wouldn’t believe Wang Jianglin’s identity.

Wang Jianglin was furious. He glared at her and said angrily, “Then what do you think we should do?”

Qiu Lingruo shook her head and looked at Kong Xiuyao. “We definitely have to let Master make the decision!” She replied coquettishly.

“Tsk…”

Kong Xiuyao stopped the two of them from bickering and said, “Listen to me when you’re done arguing. Just as Lingruo said, Old Wang, you definitely won’t have any deterrence when you enter the village. You need to find someone who can order that Black Bull around to follow me.”

“Me!” Zhong Zunshi bounced up from his seat. “The Black Bull definitely knows who I am. I’ll go with you!”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip,” Kong Xiuyao said politely.

“Please allow me ten minutes to prepare before we set off!” Zhong Zunshi did not dare to delay and rushed out of the office like a rocket.

He immediately called the project manager in charge of the Pingxu Village project, the safety production manager, the construction worker, the project director… In short, he called everyone whom he could speak to and drove the Land Rover that he often used for inspection.

Coincidentally, there was a call from the hospital. Shen Feishang’s injuries were almost treated, so Kong Xiuyao asked Zhong Zunshi to go to the hospital to pick him up and bring him back to the village.

Qiu Lingruo paid the BMW driver who drove them to Wonda Plaza and got him to go back. The driver was grateful and thanked him several times in a row before driving away happily.

After arranging everything, the group drove to Pingxu Village.

Halfway there, when Zhong Zunshi reported the progress to Wang Jianglin, Wang Jianglin reprimanded Zhong Zunshi again.

“What do you want me to say about you! What can the Land Rover do? Can you not embarrass Xiuyao? There’s a Rolls-Royce in the garage, but you don’t use it? Old Zhong, Old Zhong! Why are you so unreliable now!”

Zhong Zunshi was on the brink of tears. “President Wang, it’s not that I don’t want to drive the Rolls-Royce. The village is filled with dirt roads and the terrain is complicated. I definitely won’t be able to afford the repairs if I accidentally bumped it! Don’t worry, I drive this car often. The Black Bull definitely knows it. I guarantee that he will pay the price!”

Everything that happened today was all caused by the Black Bull. Zhong Zunshi’s anger could not be extinguished, and he blamed it all on the Black Bull! He would definitely make him pay ten times or a hundred times the price!

An hour later, the Land Rover arrived at Pingxu Village and wobbled deeper into the village.

In the distance, they could already see Shen Feishang’s breeding shed, but half of it had been torn down.

To everyone’s surprise, Shen Feishang’s old house had been demolished and new scaffolding had been built. In the middle, the outline of a new house could already be seen.

“Song Ding, that bastard, tore down my house?! Cough, cough, cough!” Shen Feishang cried out in surprise, followed by a violent cough.

Qiu Lingruo patted his back worriedly. “Brother Shen, don’t be angry. Dean Du said that you need to calm down!”

When he received Shen Feishang from the hospital, Dean Du gave him a thick stack of test reports. It showed that Shen Fei still had slight internal bleeding. He had to minimize his anger as much as possible. Otherwise, it would be dangerous if the bleeding point ruptured.

When the vehicle stopped, Shen Feishang jumped out of the car impatiently and rushed towards the gathered workers without a care. He was about to go up and fight to the death!

“Lingruo, stop Old Shen!” Kong Xiuyao ordered.

Qiu Lingruo reacted quickly and quickly grabbed the furious Shen Feishang. She had learned close combat from Kong Xiuyao. Her left foot locked onto his movements, and her right hand was on Shen Feishang’s shoulder, preventing him from struggling.

“Sister-in-law! Let go of me! I’ll fight them to the death! They…”

The voice stopped abruptly. Shen Feishang looked as if he had seen a horror movie. His eyes were bloodshot.

The workers gathered in front of the door noticed the commotion and turned to look. The distance between them was thin, revealing the thing surrounded in the middle.

Father and Mother Shen sat on the ground, covered in dust. They curled up like frightened animals and looked around helplessly.

Shen Feishang’s mind buzzed as if a string had snapped. His trembling voice called out, “Dad… Mom…”
