Please, mature women, have some self-respect. I just want a raise and a promotion.

After scolding Liu Changhe, Lin Zheng drove back to Dianhai Town.

The situation has now changed, which presents an opportunity for him.

If Liu Changhe gets into trouble, Yang Wanshan will definitely suffer as well.

At that point, forget about the town mayor's position; he'll probably be imprisoned as well.

That's how it is within the system; they eliminate every threat, leaving no chance for opposing factions to breathe.

Even if you are innocent, they will still crush you.

It's the same principle as when Zhang Wenshan got into trouble and he was implicated.

If it weren't for the secret left behind by Zhang Wenshan, he would probably be dead countless times by now.

The current situation has disrupted Lin Zheng's original plans.

He had to rush back and rearrange things.

Upon returning to Dianhai Town, Lin Zheng's first phone call was to Li Zhengang.

"Boss Li, whatever you're doing right now, drop everything. I have some extremely urgent news."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhengang's heart began to pound.

Having known Lin Zheng for so long, this was the first time he had ever seen Lin Zheng lose his composure.

"Has something serious happened to Manager Lin?"

"It's hard to explain over the phone. Come to Huaiyang Hotel, I'll be waiting for you in room 303."

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhengang didn't dare to delay.

He dropped everything and drove to the Huaiyang Hotel.

When Li Zhengang arrived at private room 303, Lin Zheng had already ordered a table full of food and drinks for him.

After Li Zhengang sat down, he handed Lin Zheng a cigarette.

"Manager Lin, what's wrong with you? You're making such a fuss, you scared me half to death."

Lin Zheng took the cigarette, lit it, took a few puffs, and said, "This time, something big has happened."

"The district is probably going to have a major purge this time, and in my judgment, Yang Wanshan will probably be imprisoned."

"Is Yang Wanshan going in?"

Lin Zhengang was stunned and said, "We haven't even started the operation yet. Did he mess something up?"

"It's not that Yang Wanshan messed things up; it's that he was someone else's pawn from beginning to end."

Lin Zheng no longer concealed anything and told the whole story of the conspiracy he had overheard.

Li Zhengang's expression changed drastically after hearing this.

The changes in the district are also crucial to his future development.

The consequences of choosing the wrong side are severe, and he didn't want to suffer the same fate as Yang Wanshan.

"Lin Zheng, what do you think? Should we continue with Wang Jianguo and Yang Wanshan's attempts to sow discord?"

"Keep up the divisive tactics. We've already spent the money; it would be a waste not to."

"I asked you to come out because I want to discuss something else."

"What is it?"

"I want to promote Deng Hong to the position of town mayor or party secretary."

"You've been in Dianhai Town for so many years, you know more cadres than I do. Pick some who are capable and reliable, gather them together, and get them to support Deng Hong."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhengang immediately frowned.

"Brother Lin Zheng, I'm just a businessman, I don't deserve such a grand display."

"You're telling me to go all out and gamble with you."

Lin Zheng patted Li Zhengang's hand and said, "Boss Li, do you want to monopolize the sand business in Dianhai Town, so that no one will dare to touch your sand quarry for the next five years?"

"There's always risk in doing business. Now it's up to you whether you dare to take a gamble with me."

Li Zhengang's gaze fixed on Lin Zheng's face, and his brows furrowed.

It's not that he lacks the ability to convene those leaders, but rather that the risk is too great.

If Deng Hong fails to take power, he will face being purged.

But Lin Zheng is right, there's never a business without risk.

If Deng Hong succeeds in taking over, then his life will be very comfortable from now on.

Monopolizing the sand and soil business in Dianhai Town was a lucrative opportunity that could make him a fortune.

However, Lin Zheng's few words alone are not enough; he needs to demonstrate the strength to promote Deng Hong.

Thinking of this, Li Zhengang said, "Lin Zheng, we've been working together for so long, I trust you."

"But this is too risky; a slight misstep could lead to disaster."

"You say you want to promote Deng Hong, but you have to prove you have the ability to do so."

Lin Zhengfang did not expect Li Zhengang's words to be so unexpected.

He took out another cigarette, lit it, and continued, "The district party secretary owes me a huge favor, a favor that can guarantee Deng Hong's promotion."

"However, the town also needs support to help Deng Hong get through the first month of transition safely."

He had leverage over Deng Jianfeng, the district party secretary, but he hadn't originally intended to use it in this matter.

He's not thinking about that anymore. By promoting Deng Hong, he's essentially creating a safety net for his future.

Li Zhengang was silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, I'll start operating tomorrow."

"Lin Zheng, I'm betting my life on this with you, so please don't abandon me halfway through."

"Don't worry, I've staked everything on this myself."

"In addition, he was also put in charge of Li Hua's side, so he used a three-pronged approach to thoroughly stir up this mess."

Li Zhengang nodded and immediately took out his phone to call Li Hua.

After Li Zhengang hung up the phone, Lin Zheng reminded him again: "The matter of winning over these cadres must be carried out secretly. We must spend money if necessary; we have to be willing to make these initial investments."

"If they're worried that Deng Hong won't get promoted, just say that the top leader in the district supports Deng Hong."

"I don't need to teach you how to use a combination of bluffing and deception, do I?"

Li Zhengang nodded: "Don't worry, I know how to do it."

"However, what are your plans regarding Wang Jianguo?"

"With this old fox around, Deng Hong's campaign will face even greater pressure."

Lin Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "Yang Wanshan will definitely fight Wang Jianguo to the death, but relying on Yang Wanshan alone is far from enough."

"I'll pull out his canine tooth first, and then I'll figure out how to deal with him next."

"Even if we don't send him in, we can't let him pose a threat to Deng Hong."

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare now."

"Let's keep each other informed."

After Li Zhengang finished speaking, he got up and left.

After seeing Li Zhengang off, Li Zhen drove back to the village committee.

Deng Hong was still in her office looking up information.

Ever since Lin Zheng told her that he wanted to promote her to a higher position, she has been making preparations.

After all, once you take a position, you'll face a lot of work and responsibilities.

If she is not prepared, she will not only be unable to control the situation after taking office, but will also make a fool of herself.

Upon seeing Lin Zheng approach, Deng Hong immediately put down her work and poured him a cup of tea.

"Lin Zheng, is there something you need so late?"

Lin Zheng nodded: "The situation in the district is about to change, and our plans need to be redeployed."

Upon hearing this, Deng Hong's expression changed.

The district is about to undergo a major change, which means something big is going to happen.

Thinking of this, Deng Hong immediately asked, "What's wrong with the district? Is it a big risk to our plan?"

"It won't affect us; on the contrary, it's an opportunity."

"I plan to use this opportunity to promote you to the position of town mayor or town party secretary."

"We'll have to wait and see how it goes in three days."

Three days later will be Yang Wanshan's final hurdle.

If what Zhou Haimin said in the private room is true.

This final hurdle is very likely the key to Yang Wanshan's downfall.
