Chapter 244

Xiao Long asked me in the car,

"Grandpa, where are we going?"

I said, "Let's go to Qi He Kuang. Now Niu Ju already listens to us, so it's much safer."

Xiao Long asked doubtfully, "Can Niu Ju really listen to us?"

I said, "I already said just now, I have recorded my conversation with him, and Niu Ju has a request of me. The matter of him detaining Zhou Fuhai, only I can help him out of it."

Killing Zhou Fuhai won't work, releasing him won't work either.

"Niu Ju's days are not easy either."

Upon hearing me say that,

"Grandpa, I don't understand; since Zhou Fuhai is so important, why did Niu Ju arrest him?" Xiao Long asked.

"The situation is like this: because I have already stood in for Zhou Fuhai in advance, and I met Kang Yali. When the real Zhou Fuhai returns, Kang Yali will think that one is fake. Moreover, Zhou Fuhai hit Kang Yali; this person is very arrogant,"

"he doesn't even regard Niu Ju, and Niu Ju has never seen the real Zhou Fuhai,"

"Niu Ju, in a moment of hot-headedness, arrested Zhou Fuhai."

"Only after that did he realize he had caused a big problem."

"Niu Ju then had Mao Hai contact Shi Yong to arrest Kong Xiangju, which is like casting aside caution. It's like, at death's door, finding a scapegoat, dragging Kong Shi into it as well. He wants to go all-out against Kong Shi."

"Then why should we save Niu Ju? Moreover, the internal struggle between Kong Shi and Niu Ju doesn't align with our intentions. Wouldn't it be better if they both lost?" Xiao Long asked while driving.

"How to put it? If Niu Ju doesn't fight Kong Shi, Niu Ju's downfall wouldn't serve our interests. As Director Shangguan said, replacing him with someone else would be harder to deal with; having Niu Ju in power is advantageous for us. So we must save Niu Ju."

"Moreover, your father is in Kong Shi's hands,"

"I fear their feud will escalate, and Kong Shi might strike at your father again, which would be troublesome. The situation here is very complex. Xiao Long, let me tell you, our enemies are not just Kong Shi and his ilk, but also the people behind them. Their strength is tremendous,"

"so strong that our current forces cannot possibly oppose them."

"Why do I continue to impersonate Zhou Fuhai? It's to find a way to borrow strength to strike strength."

"Actually, this path is also extremely dangerous,"

"We have turned Zhou Fuhai into Zhao Jianqiang, yet there are still people who know Zhou Fuhai."

"If someone sees through it, my trouble will come."

Xiao Long said, "Grandpa, besides this road, is there no other way for me to go?"

I said, "For now there isn't; we just have to tough it out and take the risk."

"Let them never imagine that this Zhou Fuhai is an impostor; the only advantage is that Zhou Fuhai keeps a low profile, so only those close to him know him well, and Kong Shi and Niu Ju have never met him."

"We still have some room to maneuver."

"Grandpa, we've had it rough. It seems I have a lot to learn. Grandpa, I don't want to go anywhere; I just want to stay by your side." Xiao Long said.

"Good, having you by my side lets me lighten many burdens. Xiao Long, I originally didn't want to drag you into this, but the situation has developed beyond my control; your father is deeply entrenched,"

"we must find a way to rescue him as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't have peace of mind for a single day."

Xiao Long nodded. He said nothing more.

Our car had already reached midnight traveling from Huaihai City to Qi He Kuang.

Arriving at the gate of Qi He Kuang,

I saw the lights inside Qi He Kuang blazing; no need to ask, they were working overtime at this time.

I had the security contact Little Feng,

Little Feng quickly had security open the door.

Our car drove into Qi He Kuang.

Arriving in front of the mine office building,

Little Feng and Xiao Fang were waiting for me and Xiao Long.

Little Feng smiled and said, "Welcome, our leader, for visiting late at night."

I said, "I'm not a leader; the real leader is Miss Xiao Fang. It's really late, I feel bad for disturbing your rest. Why haven't I seen Brother Ye?"

Little Feng said, "Old Ye went to Zaocheng Mining Group; there were some quality issues with these batches of goods, and he went to resolve them."

"It's not a big problem, is it?" I said.

"Not really, just minor things. Others at Zaocheng Mining Group just want some favors; Old Ye is familiar with all this, so we don't need to worry."

Xiao Fang then said, "Brother Jianqiang, as the legal person, I just hang a sign and sign my name. Sigh, I don't understand anything; fortunately, Sister Little Feng is by my side, otherwise I couldn't get anything done in a day."

Little Feng laughed,

"Little Fang, don't be modest. You're very smart; I can teach you the financial matters in one go."

"Looks like you're no disappointment to Director Shangguan's daughter."

I laughed then, "Alright, can we go inside? It's freezing outside."

Little Feng then said, "Please come in, Jianqiang; look at this office building—we've renovated it, the old office building was basically abandoned."

I followed Little Feng into the Qi He Kuang office building. More than ten years ago, I had worked hard here.

Today, coming back to this place, I have a different feeling.

The renovation of the Qi He Kuang office building is good; as soon as you enter, you can feel it's warm inside.

We soon arrived at the office; since it was night, aside from the dispatch room having someone on duty, all other work departments had gone off duty.

Little Feng said, "Jianqiang, why not call the leaders of all departments and have you hold a meeting?"

I said, "Calling people out of their beds in the middle of the night to hold a meeting—I'm too abnormal."

"I originally didn't want to summon you, but without your order, the guards won't open the door, and Xiao Long and I couldn't get in."

"It's getting late; if the guesthouse just holds a room for us, Xiao Long and I will go rest."

Little Feng said, "We haven't seen each other for such a long time, and we're not even talking; anyway, we've already been woken up,"

"let's chat about the heavens; Xiao Fang, go to your office."

Xiao Fang said: "Okay."

Then opened the office door,

We all went in,

At this moment Xiao Fang handed me a report,

"Jianqiang, this is the production progress table; inside, each shift's output is listed."

Xiao Feng said: "The accounting report, you didn't take it?"

Xiao Fang said: "No, the finance office is off work; I only got the production report in the dispatch room."

"Alright, two great beauties, I'll reiterate: I'm here just to rest my legs, to see you, to meet Qian Niang; as for other matters, I won't ask about them, and you don't need to report work to me. I trust you,"

Xiao Fang, you've worked hard these days.

Xiao Feng, you've worked hard too."

Xiao Feng laughed and said: "Jianqiang, you're really fortunate, having two great beauties beside you to report work to you, yet you're too lazy to listen."

We work so hard just to give you a report, so you can come praise us."

Hearing Xiao Feng say that,

I laughed hahaha,

"Xiao Feng, saying that, if Brother Ye hears it, what will he think?"

You've done really well, better than I imagined.

In my impression, Qi He Kuang was everywhere dust and coal, but after entering the mine I felt it very clean, much better than when I was here before.

Also, this office is also good; it seems, entrusting Qi He Kuang to you makes me feel at ease."

"You really treat yourself as a leader. Alright, Jianqiang, stop speaking like an official. How many days do you plan to stay at Qi He Kuang?" Xiao Feng asked.
