Drink with me; I must get dead drunk tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director, what is this?\" Hong Zhiyou knew that what was meant to come had finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jianfeng said nothing, picked up a bottle of liquor, and gulped it down wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drinking like this was very Soviet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the leader was chugging from the bottle, Hong Zhiyou had no choice but to risk his life to keep him company; he opened a bottle and began to gulp it down as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know what our Chairman said? 'Not fighting corruption will destroy the nation; fighting corruption will destroy the Party.' He actually ordered me to apologize to Kong Lingkan, ha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jianfeng burst into loud laughter, his face streaming with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He also ordered the dissolution of the Economic Management Committee, and the grain brokerage rights were not given to my uncle, but instead continued to be operated by Kong Lingkan's Yangtze Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, he threw Long Tao into prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhiyou, the work of our past hundred days has gone down the drain, and we have become the laughingstock of the Kong family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been hard to reconcile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One cannot be fully loyal while being fully filial, and one cannot be fully filial while being fully loyal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can only put filial piety first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Jianfeng gave a bitter smile, his entire spirit completely collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director, the Chairman is also in a difficult position. The fact that he could stay in Beiping for three days shows he already did his best to help you clean up the mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that the Kong family has suffered heavy losses, letting them continue to oversee the grain can be considered a middle path—everyone has won and lost something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since ancient times, it has been hard for even an honest official to settle family disputes; the Chairman is truly in a tough spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It would be best if you could look at it more openly, Director.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou comforted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have already arranged a plane for you; return to Jinmen immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place is too chaotic. I fear my father might be swayed by the Lady to act against you. The sooner you leave, the better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jianfeng rubbed his temples and pulled himself together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Director. But what about Foreman Du and Captain Long...\" Hong Zhiyou asked with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, I will do my best to protect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhiyou, having worked with you for so long, to tell the truth, I really am a bit reluctant to see you go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had intended to transfer you to Jingling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the many matters of grain transport in Jinmen still rely on you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, let it be this way, my comrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take care!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jianfeng said goodbye with deep emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director, take care.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou bowed respectfully, simply packed his things, went to the prison to take one last look at Long Tao, gave his family a substantial sum of money, and then rushed to the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he got out of the car, he saw Kong Lingkan wearing sunglasses, waiting with a team of men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3114,"2026-06-25T10:22:50.793Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","4613e5486d8a8bcf23a6ca502b7a60221089775b5cbadec8cc517a09f34e4dae","spy-survival-guide-chapter-357","spy-survival-guide-chapter-355",395,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspy-survival-guide-cover.jpg"]
