The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

Inside the private room, the surging emotions stirred by the huge share reward had not yet fully subsided, and the air still retained the warmth of excitement and emotion.

Teng Ao and Yan Ruge had just settled down, their emotions still fluctuating like they were on a rollercoaster, when Zeng Long had already turned the page and focused his gaze on Teng Ao again, like a precise searchlight.

"President Teng," Zeng Long's voice pulled Teng Ao back from his chaotic thoughts, "Your affairs are settled. Now, let's talk about what you mentioned earlier, about your second uncle."

His tone was calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter, but it made Teng Ao's heart skip a beat.

When the matter was mentioned, a hint of embarrassment and shame flashed across Teng Aogang's face, which was still excited about acquiring shares.

After all, he had indeed made a mistake in his previous covert confrontation with Chen Yifeng, allowing the latter to use dishonorable means to obstruct his second uncle Teng Yunhai's path to promotion. This was a thorn in the side for both him and the Teng family.

"Brother Long," Teng Ao composed himself, suppressing his embarrassment, and began to recount in detail the details of the confrontation, including how Chen Yifeng used his family's influence to spread unfavorable information!

The insidious methods and ingenious schemes employed to carry out unjust obstruction at a crucial moment caused those present to frown slightly.

Zeng Long listened quietly, his fingers unconsciously tracing the rim of his teacup, his eyes deep, as if analyzing something deeper through Teng Ao's narration.

When Teng Ao finished speaking and looked at him with a hint of resentment and expectation, Zeng Long's face did not become serious. Instead, a playful, even amusing, smile appeared on his face.

"According to what you said," Zeng Long began, his voice carrying a peculiar rhythm, "your second uncle's path to advancement was completely blocked by Chen Yifeng through conspiracy and family power."

He leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed on Teng Ao, the smile on his lips deepening, as if he were sharing an extremely interesting secret:

"Then I can have Chen Yifeng personally send your second uncle up again."

He paused, then asked, word by word, with absolute clarity:

"Mr. Teng! Tell me, isn't this a fun thing to do?"

"ah?!"

Teng Ao's reaction was textbook-perfect in terms of shock!

His eyes widened instantly, like two light bulbs that had been suddenly switched on, almost popping out of their sockets!

His mouth opened wide uncontrollably, so wide that it seemed he could easily fit a large duck egg inside!

He felt as if he had been struck by an invisible giant hammer, frozen in his seat, even his breathing stopped.

Three or four seconds passed before he finally caught his breath, like a drowning person catching their breath. His voice, filled with utter disbelief, became stuttering, sharp, and distorted.

"Brother Long... Brother Long! You... you... you just said that you wanted Chen Yifeng to personally... send my second uncle up again?!"

He shook his head violently, as if to confirm he wasn't dreaming: "This...how is this possible?! Did I mishear, or...or has Chen Yifeng gone mad?!"

Seeing his appearance, Zeng Long finally chuckled. He slowly stood up, stretched his neck and shoulders, which were a little stiff from sitting for a long time, and moved with ease.

Then, he walked over to Teng Ao, looked down at him, and smiled with an absolute confidence that seemed to be looking down on the whole situation.

"You heard me right, Chen Yifeng isn't crazy either." Zeng Long's tone was calm, yet it contained an undeniable power. "It's just that Teng Yunhai is your second uncle, Teng Ao. And you are my brother, Zeng Long's brother, the president of Longyu Group."

He gently patted Teng Ao's shoulder, which was stiff with shock, and his words were like a final verdict:

Therefore, anything is possible.

Feeling the warmth and strength on his shoulder, Teng Ao's wildly beating heart seemed to find a sliver of support, but the confusion in his eyes remained thick and unyielding.

Zeng Long continued to explain to him, and to everyone present who had pricked up their ears, his words painting a picture of a predetermined future:

"Don't worry. Your second uncle will definitely get promoted this time. Moreover, Chen Yifeng will do everything he can, using all his resources and influence, to make sure your second uncle's promotion is done flawlessly, leaving no room for complaint or resentment."

A deep smile curved his lips:

"Furthermore, Mr. Teng, once your second uncle is successfully promoted, you can then, in the name of Longyu Group, provide him with a substantial investment share in his province... Then all of this will seem even more logical and a natural progression."

"..."

Teng Ao had completely lost his voice. He stared blankly at Zeng Long, his brain racing, trying to comprehend this incomprehensible chain of logic.

To let the enemy personally elevate those they once suppressed to new heights? And to do so willingly and flawlessly?

What terrifying control and deterrent power does this require?

"Alright, don't be surprised." Zeng Long withdrew his hand, his tone returning to its usual calm. "Tonight, just call Chen Yifeng directly."

He gave the order clearly and unambiguously: "Say that I asked him to do this."

He concluded by adding with unwavering certainty, "When the time comes, Chen Yifeng will naturally give you a satisfactory result."

Teng Ao swallowed unconsciously, his Adam's apple bobbing violently. Looking at Zeng Long's calm, expressionless face, he seemed to see an endless abyss and immense power hidden beneath the calm surface of the sea.

He stopped questioning and simply nodded vigorously, transforming all his shock and doubt into unconditional obedience to Zeng Long's orders.

After arranging this extraordinary event that could be described as "turning the world upside down," Zeng Long strolled back to his seat, his relaxed expression instantly vanishing, replaced by an absolute seriousness concerning strategic planning.

"Alright," he said in a low voice, but his voice instantly drew everyone's attention in the private room. "Now, I have something else to say that is important."

His gaze, like a precise scanner, fell upon Teng Ao and Yan Rugo's faces.

"That is, the investment plans for Tianzhou City in Tianguang Province and Haining Province."

Zeng Long used a declarative sentence, not an interrogative one, and his tone conveyed an unquestionable determination.

"My plan is to designate these two regions as key investment areas. Each region will be allocated an investment of no less than 300 billion yuan."

Three hundred billion! And there are two three hundred billion!

His breathing, which had just calmed down, became rapid again. Brother Long's actions were more astonishing than ever!

"However," Zeng Long emphasized, "the premise is that these investments are continuous, injected in stages and projects, rather than all at once."

After speaking, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he calmly took out two seemingly inconspicuous documents from the inside pocket of his suit and handed them to Teng Ao and Yan Rugo respectively.

"At the investment promotion meeting, the two of you should strictly follow the plan in this document and announce the specific investment methods to the public."

His gaze sharpened like a hawk's, carrying a clear command:

"The detailed investment plans and share allocations for other provinces and regions shall be determined by the two of you based on the actual situation."

However, Tianzhou City and Haining Province must, without any discount, follow the instructions in the document!

He finally asked in a deep voice, "Is it clear now?"

Teng Ao and Yan Ruge didn't dare to delay and immediately took the documents, eagerly looking down to read them.

At first, their gazes were focused and earnest. But as they delved deeper into their reading, their expressions began to change.

Their brows furrowed at times and raised at others, their eyes filled with astonishment, confusion, and an indescribable shock!

Their reading speed slowed down, as if they needed to chew on every word repeatedly.

Fine beads of sweat even appeared on Teng Ao's forehead, while Yan Ruge's usually aloof face showed extremely complex emotional fluctuations, her red lips slightly parted, revealing her extreme inner turmoil.

Finally, the two of them looked up at almost the same time.

The way they looked at Zeng Long was no longer the respect and excitement they had shown before, but... as if they were looking at an incomprehensible, unfathomable "monster"! Their eyes were filled with huge question marks and indescribable horror!

The contents of this file...

What kind of earthquake would it cause if announced at an investment promotion conference? The enormous political achievements and influence it brings will undoubtedly be poured into certain specific individuals!

This is no longer a simple business investment, but a brilliant and far-reaching strategic game!

Their minds raced, trying to grasp the deeper meaning behind Zeng Long's actions, only to discover that the course and purpose of this game far exceeded their current comprehension. They could only sense that these few thin pages weighed a ton, containing a terrifying energy capable of altering the destinies of many!

At the same time, a storm was brewing in Yan Ruge's heart.

She had previously thought that Zeng Long would definitely give his greatest support to the regions governed by his uncle Zeng Qiang and maternal uncle He Xing.

But now, looking at the investment plan in her hand, which was related to the province where Zeng Qiang and He Xing were located, she instantly understood!

She was wrong! Terribly wrong! Her perspective was far too narrow!

Zeng Long's intention was not simply to support his close relatives!

What he invests in and supports is "people," but the selection of this person is completely beyond the constraints of blood ties and is based on deeper and grander strategic considerations!

His plan was so ingenious that no one could find any trace of favoritism or loopholes, and no one dared to even have the slightest doubt or the thought of "stealing the fruits"!

What a terrifying thought! What a far-reaching plan!

Teng Ao and Yan Ruge lowered their heads again, looking at the document in their hands that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, their eyes filled with confusion and shock!

The words on the white paper, written in black and white, seemed to them to be a vast and intricate maze. They were trapped inside, unable to find an exit, and could only feel the wisdom and power of the architect who looked down upon all living beings.

The two of them took a deep breath at the same time, as if trying to suppress all the shock and confusion in their chests.

Then, they raised their heads to meet Zeng Long's deep, calm, and all-knowing gaze, and with all their might, answered simultaneously:

"Got it...!"
