After breaking up with my boyfriend, I made a fortune and rose rapidly in my career.

Chen Ping turned and walked towards his car, not looking at Captain Zhang, whose face was grim.

Upon seeing this, Guo Xiaojun and a group of drivers quickly gathered around, all of them very anxious.

"Director, are we just going to leave like this? They still won't let us through! What should we do?"

Chen Ping opened the car door and got into the driver's seat. He turned back and calmly looked at Guo Xiaojun: "Old Guo, let the statistician keep working, don't stop."

His voice remained unchanged, as if the problem at hand was not a big deal.

"Every minute they stay here, the more evidence of their illegal activities there will be. Let the drivers go back to their cars and rest, turn on the air conditioning, and don't get into any conflict with them."

Chen Ping's calm demeanor eased the atmosphere somewhat. However, everyone knew that the stalemate remained unchanged, and the problem was not resolved at all.

Chen Ping drove away, leaving behind a group of bewildered drivers and traffic police officers whose faces grew increasingly grim.

Back at the command center, Chen Pingfang immediately instructed his secretary to compile all the provincial documents with official red headers related to the Jinshuiwan project and spread them out on the conference table.

Guo Xiaojun rushed in, watching Chen Ping slowly flipping through documents, and was sweating profusely as he paced back and forth in the office.

"Director, I just received word that Captain Zhang shows no signs of backing down. His men have actually tightened the roadblocks even more; they're determined to wear us down! It must be Zhao Decai putting pressure on us again!"

In the office, the other core members also looked grim. The transportation line, which they had finally managed to establish, was stuck in the last three kilometers, and everyone's hearts were in their throats again.

At this time, at the roadside checkpoint.

Captain Zhang's phone rang. He walked to the side to answer it, bowing and scraping as he listened. On the other end of the line came Zhao Decai's very dissatisfied voice.

After hanging up the phone, Captain Zhang's face lost all trace of hesitation, replaced by a ruthless expression.

Before returning to the team, Captain Zhang yelled at his hesitant subordinates, "You all better get the hell into it! Check each vehicle one by one! Check the exhaust, lights, tires, VIN. If anything is non-compliant, impound the vehicle immediately! If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility!"

Seeing their captain's resolute attitude, the traffic police officers under his command stopped hesitating and got to work. The inspections were much more rigorous than before, as if they were using a magnifying glass to find problems.

The glimmer of hope that Guo Xiaojun and the drivers had just begun to have was completely extinguished by this increasingly aggressive fault-finding.

In the command center, Guo Xiaojun reported the increasingly outrageous situation on the scene to Chen Pingfang over the phone, his voice filled with helplessness.

Chen Pingfang didn't show any surprise after hearing this.

He put down the documents in his hand, picked up the statistics documenting selective law enforcement, and his eyes turned cold.

"It's pointless to argue with the person who gave the order; you have to find the person who gave the order, or even... the person behind the order."

Chen Ping didn't contact any other departments in Yunzhou City. Instead, he dialed the phone number of Mayor Xiao Yuhan's secretary and said firmly, "I need a handwritten letter from Mayor Xiao. It concerns the Jinshuiwan project. I will come to pick it up in person."

Late at night, Chen Ping received a letter from Xiao Yuhan, personally signed, through a side entrance of the municipal government building. The letter requested that relevant provincial departments provide support for the transportation of materials for the Jinshuiwan project, prioritizing its status as a key provincial project.

After receiving the letter, Chen Ping didn't linger. He got into the waiting car and said to the driver in a deep voice, "Leave tonight for the provincial capital."

The car's taillights disappeared into the night. Guo Xiaojun stood at the entrance of the command center, watching the departing vehicle, puzzled. He didn't understand what Chen Pingfang was planning, but he knew the director would have a way.

The next morning, the core members of the command center were all surprised to learn that Chen Ping had gone to the provincial capital overnight.

"Go to the provincial capital? Bypass the city and go directly to the province?"

"Will this work? Wouldn't doing this offend all the city leaders?"

"The director's actions were completely unexpected."

They had assumed Chen Pingfang would resolve the matter through his connections in the city, but no one expected him to escalate the issue to a higher level. This action surprised everyone, but also made them feel that things might be taking a turn for the better.

They realized that Director Chen's vision extended far beyond Yunzhou.

Provincial capital, Provincial Key Projects Office.

Chen Ping was neatly dressed, calm, and showed no signs of fatigue from traveling all night.

He handed over the complete set of official documents for the Jinshuiwan project, followed by Xiao Yuhan's handwritten letter, and finally the detailed data report.

Throughout the entire process, Chen Pingfang neither complained nor exaggerated the other party's behavior; he simply spoke in a calm tone:

"Sir, Jinshui Bay is a key project for the province, and we don't want transportation issues to affect the construction schedule. I understand that the province has just issued a trial measure to ensure the transportation of materials for key projects. We hope to apply to be a pilot unit and obtain special passage qualifications to ensure the subsequent progress of the project."

He turned a malicious attempt to find fault into an opportunity to apply for a pilot program for a new provincial policy.

The next day, when the first heavy truck from Jinshui Bay slowly drove toward the checkpoint again, a new pass appeared on the truck window.

Captain Zhang, with his men, was impatiently preparing to stop the car. He had been waiting there for a day and a night, hoping Chen Ping would be released and beg for mercy.

But the truck driver simply rolled down the window expressionlessly, said nothing, and pointed to the laminated A4 sheet of paper inside the windshield.

Captain Zhang impatiently leaned over to take a look, and the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.

That was a special engineering vehicle pass.

At the very top is the red provincial emblem.

In the middle, in bold black font, a line of large characters was clearly printed—

Unjustified interception is strictly prohibited!

These six words gave Captain Zhang a jolt.

"This...this is impossible!"

Captain Zhang snatched the pass and examined it closely. The paper had a distinctive texture, and the printing format was standardized. In particular, the red official seal of the Provincial Department of Transportation in the lower right corner was clearly visible, confirming its authenticity.

His hands began to tremble.

His face quickly lost its color, turning deathly pale, and his arrogance from yesterday was gone.

Captain Zhang suddenly recalled Chen Pingfang's words when he left yesterday: "...Even the people backing you up probably can't withstand this, right?"

It turns out that it was stating a fact.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

Captain Zhang could no longer utter any more accusations. Facing the driver's calm gaze, he felt a burning pain on his face.

Finally, all his strength left him. He waved his hand weakly and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth in a hoarse voice: "...Let them go."

The first heavy truck sounded a loud horn and slowly drove past the checkpoint.

Then came one after another…

The entire convoy passed through the blockade smoothly amidst the unpleasant glares of all the traffic police officers.

In a car not far away, Guo Xiaojun saw this scene, jumped up suddenly, and shouted at the top of his lungs into his phone:

"It's open! The road's open! The director got the permit from the provincial government! We won! We won!"

The news reached the command center and instantly sparked cheers from everyone.

When the convoy of trucks loaded with sand, gravel, and cement drove into the Jinshuiwan construction site amidst cheers from hundreds of workers, the transportation line that had been forcibly cut off was finally reconnected, and no one could stop it anymore.
