Chapter 98 The Strongest Rear Shield

  Deng Jiutian narrowed his eyes, the confident smile that had been on the corner of his mouth disappeared, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, calming down the anger that was about to erupt. He knew this guy in front of him was very good at fighting, even Pingjiang's underworld boss Guan Yu Bao had suffered losses and retreated, but this skill was worthless in front of him.

  "Zhang Shidong, you're very confident."

  "Is that so? I've always thought so too."

  Deng Jiutian stopped talking, holding his teacup and staring out the window. His sharp tongue was of no use now; it would be seen in action later.

  Zhao Ya left the room and kicked Lu Feng: "What are you still standing here for?"

  Lu Feng nodded and, without forgetting to bow slightly towards Deng Jiutian, left the room. His weak inner self was exposed, for him, Deng Jiutian was a great figure who needed to be looked up to infinitely.

  Lu Feng drove away quietly, not knowing what to say to Zhao Ya and Zhang Shidong. His heart was filled with fear, fearing that things would really go wrong with Deng Jiutian, a big shot. After driving for a while, he stopped the car, clasped his hands together in prayer, hoping that nothing bad would happen, and praying that Zhang Shidong wouldn't clash with Deng Jiutian.

  In the car, Zhang Shidong drove calmly back to Pingjiang. Zhao Ya sat quietly until they got on the highway, then she spoke up: "What are your plans?"

  Deng Jiutian is not a narrow-minded leopard, nor is he Kong Xin. The demeanor of the big courtyard will never confront you head-on, and Zhang Shidong's strong performance so far has no effect in front of Deng Jiutian. There are not many courtyard fools like Kong Xin.

  Take a look at Deng Jiutian and see how much he has been through before deciding to take action, and you will know how strong his ability to plan and act is. First, there was the matter of Jiang Xueyu, where a big brother in Linhu, Liu Ye Liu Lao Pao, specifically looked for trouble with Jiang Xueyu, and Lin Ziqiang helped Zhang Shidong make arrangements. Behind the scenes, Deng Jiutian chose to remain silent, as if giving Lin Ziqiang face and no longer entangling himself with Jiang Xueyu. A young master who can put personal desires aside for the greater good is not someone to be underestimated.

  Right after that was the downfall of the Kong family. The Deng family in the provincial city was not affected at all, but everyone knew that although Kong Xue Dong was a local tyrant in Pingjiang, he still had some connections with those above him. Deng Jiutian's father, Deng Peimin, was an official in the same faction as Kong Xue Dong when he was young. As Deng Peimin gained a foothold in the province, he and Kong Xue Dong had their competitions, but since the old leader was still alive, they wouldn't have any real conflicts. On the contrary, they would occasionally cooperate to gain political benefits. The downfall of the Kong family also involved Zhang Shidong, which had an even greater impact on Deng Jiutian. Some of his businesses in Pingjiang were immediately stuck in the mud, but he endured it again.

  Women, the benefits of money were all severely affected because Zhang Shidong was injured. Deng Jiutian still didn't make any moves until the Tang brothers from Ice City completely withdrew from the domestic stage, only then was Deng Jiutian truly hurt to the bone.

  As a first-line official in the province, Deng Jiutian understood the importance of keeping a low profile and making money quietly. The Tang Group was well-known in neighboring provinces, and investing in Beihai was a deliberate policy decision. With Deng Jiutian's coordination, both parties benefited economically, and it also brought political capital to Deng Peimin.

  Behind the scenes, two provinces' channels connected all smuggling channels across borders, and money rolled in like a snowball. The cooperation between the two sides deepened, gradually intertwining until they could no longer be distinguished from each other. Deng Jiutian was not afraid of Zhang Shidong, but the Tang brothers were intimidated. With their withdrawal, Deng Jiutian suddenly felt dizzy. The Tang brothers were ruthless enough to withdraw all funds and projects from the country and directly threatened Deng Jiutian. Now the Tang brothers had become barefooted, while Deng's political family had become shod, holding too much evidence unfavorable to Deng in their hands.

  Nothing is feared to be lost, nothing can be regained, only the old master's official position and his own identity as a yamen cannot be lost. Deng Jiutian had to stand on the opposite side of Zhang Shidong, from catching him off guard to targeting Zhang Jun for trouble, Deng Jiutian left room for both sides. Lin Ziqiang has a deep background, Zhao Mei Ru stands firm, and the result of a hard collision is that neither side wants to see it.

  Zhang Shidong tapped his fingers on the steering wheel: "Hasn't the provincial and municipal departments been coming to the Central District Branch to make trouble recently?"

  Zhao Ya nodded: "The situation is very unfavorable, and some trivial things in the front have also been carried on Zhang Shu's shoulders. My mother has consulted with Zhang Shu, who can take charge of the deputy director of the municipal bureau, but Zhang Shu did not agree."

  Zhang Shidong smiled: "The old man is getting older, looks more and more gentle, but actually he's getting harder and harder. Forget it, let him be, if he doesn't want to move, no one can make him."

  At this moment, Zhang Shidong was smiling, but beneath the smile was an unprecedented confidence, a confidence that within the rules, he could still control everything.

  Zhao Ya gently leaned her head against the car window and softly asked: "Are you tired?"

  Zhang Shidong smiled wryly: "Why don't you just ask me directly if I'm always causing trouble? Is Mayor Zhao troubled? Is he tired?"

  Zhao Ya didn't say a word, implying that as the mayor, it's impossible not to be tired. It's not just about work, but also interpersonal relationships, getting along with superiors and subordinates, and taking care of all aspects, having to make compromises and move forward cautiously.

  Zhang Shidong: "Does Lin Ziqiang have troubles? Is he tired? Does Deng Peimin have troubles? Is he tired? Does Provincial Committee Secretary Ai have troubles? Is he tired?"

  Zhao Ya interrupted him: "Can't you just not fight?"

  "You can't. As long as you're still eating and still alive, you must be in a state of resistance. Even if you really don't want to fight anymore, there will be people who will actively come to fight with you."

  "Uncle Zhang's side..." Zhao Ya sighed.

  Zhang Shidong proudly pressed the horn: "I have a good family."

  ………

  Home is the warmest harbor, Zhang Jun has no signs of huge work pressure at home, sitting in the room, receiving guidance from his daughter Zhang Yiqing, learning to use a computer, and being criticized by his daughter from time to time. Kong Mei was busy cooking dinner in the kitchen, listening to the laughter of her husband and daughter in the room, feeling very satisfied, despite the great pressure from the outside world, the happiness of the family can dispel everything.

  After Zhang Shidong and Zhao Ya returned, Zhang Yiqing stepped down from the guiding position and followed Zhao Ya to the kitchen to help. The room was left with the grandfather and grandson, Zhang Jun still clumsily operating the computer, while Zhang Shidong leaned on his parents' bed.

  "At our age, going to the municipal bureau is also a good choice, and it's not necessarily a stepping stone."

  Zhang Jun did not stop his actions, clicking the mouse: "Why not go straight to the municipal bureau after getting the deputy position at the branch office?"

  Zhang Shidong: "Should the branch be raised half a grade?"

  Zhang Jun: "Good position, many people are vying for it. Do you think a rich kid can easily become the head of a district branch just because of who he is?"

  Zhang Shidong looked at his father, the overbearing father of his childhood had returned. After years of being suppressed and marginalized in the division, his son was always getting into trouble. For over a decade, Zhang Jun had devoted all his energy to solving cases, and that restless heart had calmed down. His son's return had brought him back to life, and within months, he had made three leaps forward, rekindling that dormant heart. After truly becoming the boss, it was inevitable that he would encounter various obstacles. Former colleagues became subordinates, former superiors had to treat him as an equal, and those who had once dared to show off in front of him now hung their heads and called him "Director Zhang". In a short time, he had regained his overbearing demeanor.

  Zhang Shidong took out a cigarette, and the father-son duo walked onto the balcony, lit up.

  "Dad, even if you show off your credentials online, nobody will be able to say anything about it."

  "It's fine to have some things to do, I'm getting older and don't have such big ambitions anymore. At worst, I can just retire now, anyway my son can earn money to support me."

  Zhang Jun's performance gave Zhang Shidong infinite confidence. Everyone has weaknesses, and family is Zhang Shidong's weakness, just like Gong Jia. "Disaster does not extend to the family" refers to direct personal harm, while other moves can be used freely.

  When Zhang Shidong walked out of his house the next morning, he was in a state of high energy and drove to the training base. Seeing the listless soldiers at the gate, he stopped his car just a few centimeters from the railing and honked the horn loudly, startling the guards into standing at attention. One of them, who had never seen Zhang's car before, was about to indicate that private vehicles were not allowed in, but an older soldier quickly pulled him back and opened the gate.

  "Monitor, didn't they just tell us..."

  The old soldier interrupted: "Cheer up, do you know who this is?"

  "Who?"

  "This is our base's this." The old soldier raised his thumb: "I'll tell you, those guys inside, when they see this one, they're guaranteed to have no temper, don't believe me? Just wait and see, there will definitely be excitement again inside."

  The sky was drifting with snow, and the soldiers of the guard company in the base were sweeping the snow. A group of instructors wearing thick cotton clothes stood at the entrance of the inner gate, facing the empty playground, their faces all looked exceptionally ugly.

  Zhang Shidong got off the car, and all the instructors' faces showed complex expressions, with a mix of relief and unspoken anger. For more than half a month, this guy had been missing without a word, not even a phone call, really making all the instructors follow the training plan to train those soldiers.

  Zhang Shidong didn't wait for the instructors to speak, shook his body, and signaled for people to bring out the fire hose from the warehouse. He got into the car, drove onto the playground, stood on top of the car, hugged the fire hose, and signaled for the instructor to blow the assembly whistle.

  The whistle blew three times, but there was no response.

  Zhang Shidong took over the device connected to the base's loudspeaker, first bursting into a fit of mad laughter: "Have you all had enough rest? If you don't show up on the playground within three minutes, get out! Since you strongly demanded that I train well, let's come out and have some fun, E!"

  The faucet was turned on, and a gush of cool water sprayed out through the pipe, falling onto the snow-covered playground that the guards hadn't cleared yet.
