Chapter 572: with translation of chapter title

Xiao Feng hurriedly went to pull Shi Yong's hand,

"Shi Yong, what are you doing?"

"Ding Li, since you don't consider me this brother, I also don't have you as this brother; today we'll cut ties completely. I'm furious." Shi Yong gripped Ding Li's collar and wouldn't let go.

However, Ding Li did not resist.

Ding Li, however, said to Shi Yong: "Yong Ge, I was wrong; you can hit me or scold me, it's fine. At that time, there were many people, I had no choice."

Yong Ge, I'm sorry.

Tell me, what should I do?

I can kneel down and apologize to you right now."

Ding Li's change in attitude is really too fast.

I cheered for Ding Li in my heart,

Showing off in front of people, apologizing behind their backs.

Good, this Ding Li is really talented.

Shi Yong really stretched out his hand, wanting to hit Ding Li.

Xiao Feng looked at me, hoping I could go persuade Shi Yong.

I didn't speak.

Shi Yong's raised hand, holding up Lao Gao.

Ding Li didn't dodge at all, as if he were just waiting for Shi Yong's slap to fall.

Xiao Feng became anxious again,

ran over and grabbed Shi Yong's arm,

"Shi Yong, if you dare to hit Ding Li, it's the same as hitting me."

Xiao Feng's words carried weight.

Shi Yong didn't dare to hit.

That's exactly what I wanted, Xiao Feng protecting Ding Li.

Ding Li really enjoyed this protection.

Ding Li looked at Xiao Feng and said,

"Sister Xiao Feng, move aside and let Yong Ge hit me, let him vent this resentment."

Xiao Feng also looked at Ding Li gently.

Then she also looked at Shi Yong,

"Shi Yong, try hitting Ding Li."

Shi Yong was embarrassed,

"I, I...". The raised arm was lowered again.

I walked over at that time,

pulled up Shi Yong's hand, and Ding Li's hand,

so that their hands were clasped together,

"Shi Yong, I know you're very angry.

How come Ding Li won't let you work as the Security Section Chief?

First, let me say, you follow me in work, you and Ding Li are of equal rank.

How come you then work under Ding Li? That's obviously a voluntary demotion.

At this Qi He Kuang, whether Ding Li listens to you or you listen to Ding Li, both are difficult.

Do you agree?"

Shi Yong nodded thoughtfully.

"Moreover, you see, the people working in the Security Section are all young people; what are you arguing with young people for? After all, you're an experienced person,

you have left a great reputation at this Qi He Kuang; if you manage the Security Section poorly, it will further affect your reputation, which would not be good.

In the future, you will often follow living at Niushiling; this Qi He Kuang, I don't come often either, you say how to manage the Security Section of Qi He Kuang, right?

I think you have made great contributions to Qi He Kuang, and the establishment of the Security Section was originally your merit.

You mainly want others to remember you, Shi Yong.

That's easy to handle; you can serve as an Honorary Section Chief, guiding the current Security Section's work.

Ding Li, how about this: hang Shi Yong's photo in the Security Section so everyone knows his exemplary deeds.

From now on, Shi Yong will be the Honorary Section Chief of your Qi He Kuang, how about that?"

I said to Ding Li,

"Zhao Ge, my brother Yong, how can he be just an Honorary Section Chief? That rank is too low; he must be made Honorary Deputy Mine Director,

"Brother Yong, rest assured, I will definitely arrange people to write your deeds into a book, so the Security Section studies it every day. When needed, I will let you come over to guide work." Ding Li said with a smile to Shi Yong.

Hearing Ding Li say that, Shi Yong was very happy,

Then he said to Ding Li: "Ding Li, if you had said that earlier, wouldn't there be nothing? You just played with me earlier, do you have the qualifications for that?

In this Qi He Kuang, ask around, how much have I, Shi Yong, contributed here?

We must let those little brats study my deeds, so they know founding the Security Section was not easy for me.

My photo must be hung at the very front of the Security Section, together with the regulations, so those brats will bow to me three times every day.

"Having heard Ding Li, Shi Yong's words, keep them in mind; from now on we'll do it this way. Ding Li, you must write into the Mine Chronicle that Shi Yong formerly was the Security Section Chief—no, that he was the Honorary Deputy Mine Director; this rank must be highlighted. Is Shi Yong satisfied?"

Shi Yong nodded very satisfied,

"This way I will go down in history; my name, Shi Yong, will be forever passed on. Right, we need to highlight the three most representative basic skills I trained the Security Section in."

First, you must be daring; second, you must have guts; third, you must have no shame.

I almost laughed out loud.

Shi Yong is out of trouble, and Ding Li's face is also saved.

Everyone reconciled again.

I quickly sent Xiao Feng to the mess hall to arrange the food, striking while the iron was hot, so that Shi Yong and Ding Li could have a drink.

As soon as a man drinks, everything is fine.

Xiao Feng promptly arranged a table of dishes in the mess hall.

I, Shi Yong, Ding Li, and Xiao Feng went to the mess hall to eat.

When we reached the private room, Shi Yong saw the wine and was overjoyed,

"Ding Li, today the two of us brothers will definitely drink well."

Ding Li said, "Don't worry, Brother Yong, today I will definitely keep you company."

I still have to drive back, so I didn't drink.

Xiao Feng and I ordered a few drinks, to drink with them.

When Shi Yong sat down, he cheerfully shouted, "Ding Li, I didn't expect you to dare challenge me. These days you've been showing off at Qi He Kuang, right?"

"Brother Yong, from what you said, you deliberately gave way to me. If you truly duel me, you'll beat me up until I'm searching for teeth on the ground. Brother Yong, you are giving me face.

I have to thank you," Ding Li said, raising his wine cup.

"Ding Li, being able to see this shows that you, kid, haven't been hanging around me for nothing.

I was deliberately yielding to you.

If I truly fought you, how could you establish your prestige at Qi He Kuang later? You're my good brother; if I don't yield to you, who else will?" Shi Yong also raised his cup and clinked it with Ding Li's.

The two of them downed their wine at the same time.

They drank more intimately than actual brothers; Xiao Feng and I couldn't interject.

Xiao Feng gave me a glance, signaling me to step outside to talk.

Xiao Feng and I left the mess hall,

and sat down in a secluded pavilion.

Xiao Feng then asked, "Jianqiang, I want to ask you, will you completely stop caring about Qi He Kuang from now on?"

"How can you say that? How could I not care? I've already poured so much money into it," I laughed.

"Don't laugh. I ask you, will you stay permanently in the mine, or return to Zaocheng?" Xiao Feng asked seriously.

"Of course I'll go back to Zaocheng. With you and Ding Li here at Qi He Kuang, I won't have to worry about anything.

I only need to sell the coal, and then we'll have plenty of money to earn. Xiao Feng, from now on you'll be living the good life," I said, looking at Xiao Feng.

"Sigh, what's the point of earning that much money? Jianqiang, I have no interest in money at all. I'm at Qi He Kuang just to help you.

If you're not at Qi He Kuang, I'll leave," Xiao Feng said.

"You leave, where to?" I asked deliberately.

"The world is vast; wherever I go is fine. Wherever the scenery is good, wherever it's cool, that's where I'll stay," Xiao Feng said.

"Xiao Feng, you say wherever it's cool you'll stay. You're not useless, and besides Qi He Kuang can't do without you,

If you leave, what about the finances? Xiao Feng, now is the time Qi He Kuang needs people.

Help me for a while longer.

"Jianqiang, if you're not here, I really don't want to stay at Qi He Kuang; it's truly meaningless," Xiao Feng said sorrowfully.

Hearing Xiao Feng say that,

I took out a cigarette,

lit one and started smoking.
