Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

Seeing that Qi Tongwei remained silent, Zhao Xiaohui chuckled and continued speaking in a low voice.

"Secretary Qi, I heard that you are a cadre sent to support the border regions, and your organizational affiliation is still in Handong, right?"

Isn't it a coincidence? My Huilong Trading Company is also located in Handong...

Thousands of kilometers apart, it's truly fate that we, people from Handong, could meet in the western border region...

Qi Tongwei knew that the other party was putting pressure on him, so he glanced at Zhao Xiaohui and pretended to be surprised.

"Oh? You're from Handong? Then we're from the same hometown! Come on, let's add another one..."

After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and raised the empty glass to Zhao Xiaohui.

Helpless, Zhao Xiaohui forced a large gulp of wine with a bitter expression.

She put down her wine glass, her smile fading slightly, and continued speaking.

"Secretary Qi, we've said our piece and drunk our wine... You can't just let this young lady serve you for nothing, can you?"

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Qi Tongwei pointed at Baimaiti and said with a smile.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, what are you saying... I have no objection to this."

You can discuss the specifics with County Head Baimaiti.

With the money bag in his hands, he was the county's god of wealth...

When Baimaiti saw Qi Tongwei throw the ball over, he immediately smiled and picked up the conversation.

"The Party Secretary has spoken; we must carry it out resolutely!"

However, the situation at Fuyuan Mine is somewhat complicated and cannot be explained in a short time...

Tonight we're just having a drink to welcome Mr. Zhao to Fuyuan!

The rest, we'll talk about it slowly, slowly...

After saying that, he picked up the wine bottle, got up, and poured wine for Zhao Xiaohui...

Qi Tongwei watched Zhao Xiaohui skillfully maneuver among the three men and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The father paved the way in the political arena, the son made his fortune in mainland China, and the daughter managed investments and hedged risks overseas...

The Zhao family truly makes the best use of everyone's talents and resources.

Especially Zhao Xiaohui.

If he didn't have memories of his past life, he would never have believed it.

This seemingly delicate and charming woman is actually the key figure who controls the family's wealth.

It turns out he was the mastermind behind the Zhao family's front manipulators...

A seemingly harmonious yet turbulent drinking party came to an end.

Watching Zhao Xiaohui's car disappear into the night, Baimaiti, with a cold face, muttered a curse under his breath.

"Too arrogant! Their words were full of threats..."

Qi Tongwei handed him a cigarette and casually replied with a smile.

"They have the right to be arrogant... Ten years of hard study can't compete with the allure of officialdom..."

"If Dad is well, the whole family is well..."

Baimaiti sighed heavily, took the cigarette Qi Tongwei offered, and asked in a deep voice.

"Are we just going to put up with this? What if she comes looking for us again... and we keep stalling?"

Qi Tongwei narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked in the direction where the bluebird had disappeared.

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, ignored Baimaiti's words, and muttered something under his breath.

"The western border has its own rules; even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake."

Since General Manager Zhao wants to take over Fuyuan Mine... let's give her the mine protection team first...

Baimaiti turned his head to look at Qi Tongwei, his eyes full of doubt.

"If you really let her invest in Fuyuan Mine, then all your plans will have been for nothing..."

Qi Tongwei chuckled and replied softly.

"The mine protection team is affiliated with another organization; they don't own any shares..."

Besides, even if we let her take over the mining team, she has to be able to handle it first...

He paused slightly at this point, then added another sentence.

"You don't need to get involved in this. Just have Zharta inform them."

Chai Dali has made enough money; it's time to put on some real work...

Baimaiti frowned slightly, gave Qi Tongwei a deep look, and said nothing.

......

The following morning, Zharta arrived at Fuyuan Mine with Baimaiti's instructions.

It was the same mine meeting room as last time, and the same three people as last time.

Zharta represented the county, Mine Manager Liu represented the mine, and Chai Dali represented the mine protection team.

Long time no see, Chai Dali has gained a lot of weight, and the fat on his face is shiny with oil.

Zharta remained calm and, without beating around the bush, directly announced the county's instructions.

He still ignored Chai Dali, but his tone was much gentler than last time.

He glanced at Liu Shi and said softly.

"Everyone's busy, so I won't take up too much of your time. I'll just give a brief overview..."

The mine protection team may be disbanded soon, and its work may be taken over by Huilong Trading Co., Ltd.

The mine should make preparations in advance to avoid being caught off guard during the handover...

After saying that, he closed his notebook, glanced at the two people in front of him, and added softly.

"That's the gist of it. Let me just tell you..."

Although it's not finalized yet, the county is worried the mine might not be prepared, so they're letting you know in advance..."

The instruction was strange, using three possibilities in a row, leaving the two of them somewhat bewildered.

Liu Shi didn't speak, but gave Zharta a deep look before silently smoking.

Seeing that Liu Shi remained silent, Chai Dali handed Zharta a cigarette and asked with a smile.

"Director Zharta, is there something I did wrong... why do you want to terminate my affiliation?"

He smiled ingratiatingly, his voice not loud, but noticeably more diplomatic.

Zalta didn't refuse him, took the cigarette, and gave a nonchalant reply.

"It was a decision made from above, I don't know the specifics..."

After saying that, he glanced at Chai Dali and added another sentence.

"Things aren't finalized yet... it's just for the mine to make preparations..."

Zharta left in a hurry, leaving only Chai Dali and Liu Shi in the conference room.

While lighting a cigarette for Liu Shi, Chai Dali grinned and complained.

"Liu Kuang, what does this mean! Less than six months later, you want to disband the mine protection team and terminate the affiliation..."

"Are you kidding me?! You're making a fool of me..."

Liu Shi took a deep drag on his cigarette, glanced at Chai Dali, and chuckled.

"You can't even understand this? You've been wasting your time... The problem lies with Huilong Trading..."

Someone had their eye on the lucrative job as a mine protection team, and pulled some strings...

You should thank the county; this instruction really put you in a good position...

Chai Dali was taken aback by these words, took two deep drags on his cigarette, and remained silent...

As soon as he stepped out of the conference room, Chai Dali's smile vanished, replaced by a gloomy expression.

He walked back to the door of the mine protection team's office and kicked it open.

Several mine security guards who were dozing inside were startled and sat up abruptly.

"You son of a bitch! Wake up, all of you, get the hell out of bed!"

Chai Dali grabbed a rubber baton and started punching his dozing brothers.

He pounded on the ground while roaring, his voice filled with anger and resentment.

"Fuck Huilong Trading! Get the hell out of here and go investigate!"

"I'll see who the hell has the big mouth to dare steal my meat..."
