Chapter 1084: Coal Boss

Ning Shu Yue didn't answer right away, glanced sideways at Sun Chengjun: "If he goes, I will support him without hesitation. A man has to go through some storms before he can speak of it; that petty, underdeveloped kind I still can't stand."

"To put it more grandly, this kind of job always needs someone to do it; if everyone refuses, aren't we just indulging those people?"

"To be selfish, the more dangerous the place, the bigger the challenge, the greater the eventual reward."

"Take Lieshan County, he has already secured the Section-level benefits, and I even heard him say that this time he will be nominated as Vice County Magistrate."

"If it weren't for toppling Geng Miao, and he only did a bit of work, even if he were made Bureau Chief, I reckon many would find fault with it."

"So I support him."

Su Yang laughed heartily: "With a virtuous wife like you, the big army will have no worries behind it and will surely rise straight to the clouds."

"But this time he shouldn't go on that adventure; first, the organization forbids it, and second, everyone knows about our relationship, so if he really went, they'd target Sun Chengjun first."

"Because in those people's eyes, if you actually resort to violent means, your big army would be far more formidable than mine."

"Inevitably they'd see you as a thorn in the flesh, so this time I don't plan to meet force with force; I'll take another route."

"And your big army bears great responsibility; Lieshan County's environment has improved a bit, but it still needs someone to hold it down."

"Moreover, the city has already been brewing personnel adjustments for Lieshan County; your becoming Vice County Magistrate is basically a done deal."

"Going elsewhere is dangerous, and besides, you definitely won't make that step; never underestimate the jump from Section-level to Deputy Division-level—some people never reach it in a lifetime."

"Seize this opportunity; we brothers will still have plenty of chances to advance together."

"And now it's already inter‑province, making the transfer harder; I managed to get there because I was transferred as a cadre exchange."

"You're only a Section-level cadre; how can you get through? Once you reach Deputy Division level, see if there's a chance."

"Besides, I'm not going to Liu Cheng Xian in Xishan Province for a lifetime, right?"

Sun Chengjun still felt uneasy: "You alone really can't manage; if I can't get through, ask Song Zhong to see if you can contact his comrades over there."

"If there's no one on the surface, you can find a driver; at least they'll guarantee your personal safety at critical moments."

"Once you go, equipping a driver at your rank shouldn't be a problem, right?"

His words made Zhou Ruohan's eyes light up: "Hey, that's actually a good suggestion; we can't arrange other things, but a driver can still be brought over."

"Or say that Su Yang has full authority to pick a qualified driver himself."

"You don't need to worry about that; I'll go find someone to arrange it later."

"Alright, seeing the two of you so affectionate puts my mind at ease; I hope you have a big chubby boy soon, and then we'll come drink the wedding wine."

Ning Shu Yue listened to the words oddly and thought to herself: "You should have said that to Fang Jingwen, not to me."

"I'm about to get married right away; after all, I still managed to scoop up some benefits from Su Yang's side, and this good brother let me get them into my hands."

"Now it's already bearing fruit, about to sprout and bloom."

"I don't consider my efforts wasted, but Fang Jingwen is still empty‑handed, and she's already been transferred back to Jingcheng; that's the focus you should be paying attention to."

Of course, she thought that, but said nothing.

On the way back, Zhou Ruohan told Old Zhou about arranging a driver for Su Yang.

Old Zhou's eyes truly lit up: "Haha, I never considered that angle, I even overlooked the fact that Su Yang could be equipped with a driver."

"The County Party Committee Deputy Secretary and the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary are indeed eligible for a dedicated driver."

"Alright, let your grandfather handle this directly; we must assign a truly outstanding comrade."

"That way, we can all be much more at ease; the driver position is extremely critical."

Just as Su Yang was preparing to head to Xishan Province to report, local officials of Liu Cheng Xian and the coal bosses had already learned of the news.

At this moment, in a Yongning Guildhall somewhere in Jingcheng, several coal bosses began devising countermeasures.

One man, extremely fat and looking just like a Maitreya Buddha, stood up, washed his hands in a nearby basin, and said to the other two: "This milk was just air‑freighted from abroad; it's great for skin protection."

Another man, very thin yet dashing, said: "President Gao, you really know how to enjoy yourself; we arranged a plane to air‑freight these grooming items for you."

"By the way, you care about whitening more than women do; why do we old gentlemen bother with skin care?"

President Huang Zongyuan said: "Old Zheng, you don't get it; at our age, maintenance is crucial, otherwise when we take a girlfriend out, people think I'm her dad."

"Look at my face, look at my hands; instantly people think we're a perfect match of talent and beauty."

Zheng Qiu said: "Hahaha, our President Huang is old in body but young at heart; your girlfriend may not be a perfect 100, but there are a few little books, and in a sense, you've also done us men a favor."

"When it comes to those little girls from the 'little books', you'll have to be harsh with them."

"No, isn't that just so they call you dad? Hahaha…"

President Huang, plump as a ball, chuckled: "But the women from the little books really know a lot; later I can let you enjoy it too. Don't worry, it's free; we share resources."

"But those few big‑yang horses of yours are not bad either; I heard they're proficient in each of the eighteen martial arts."

They laughed and chatted, and another man wearing glasses with a scholarly air said: "Old Huang, Old Zheng, let's discuss serious matters; the romantic stuff can wait for later."

"Our original plan for the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary and the Public Security Bureau Chief fell through."

"For this, we also put a lot of effort into the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department; it was already a done deal back then."

"Moreover, according to our previous plan, once the people this time take office, at least this term won't have incidents, and they'll be promoted."

"After all, in this position, repeated incidents inevitably draw attention, and we'd have a hard time reporting back."

"As you all know, a guy named Su Yang suddenly popped up, and I checked—this person isn't simple; wherever he goes, there's a collapse, and any illegal or disciplinary matter is basically taken down by him."

President Huang, carefree and indifferent, said: "What's that? Then we'll stick to the old ways—if you like women, give women; if you like money, give money; if you like gold, jade, antiques, then give gold, jade, antiques."

"As long as someone is human, they have flaws; with flaws we can manipulate them, so no matter where he comes from, it doesn't affect us."
