Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Zhao Hongbo, Li Dong, and Pang Shibiao were not afraid of any of them.

One of these two was parachuted in from the provincial capital and had no connections in the mine.

If we simply strip him of his power, we can disarm him in no time.

As for the other one, he came from the police system, so he posed no obstacle to the police and had no way to interfere in the affairs of the mine.

But Dong Shou'an was different; he was the powerful figure in the mine.

He has worked in the mine for more than ten years, working his way up from the bottom to his current position, and has a group of old brothers who have followed him through thick and thin.

The security department, in particular, has always been under the control of Dong Shou'an.

Everyone in the security department was one of Dong Shou'an's men.

Aside from Dong Shouan, even he, the mine manager, sometimes couldn't get anyone to take command.

These trump cards are the foundation of Dong Shou'an's livelihood in the mine, and also what he fears most.

Outsiders say that Dong Shou'an is his henchman and his confidant.

In reality, the two were merely business partners; Dong Shou'an was simply an accomplice in his oppression of the miners.

Pang Shibiao was also very wary of Dong Shouan, his accomplice.

From safety in production to worker scheduling, nothing goes smoothly at the mine without Dong Shou'an's approval.

Unless there are special reasons, Pang Shibiao would certainly not raise a tiger to cause trouble, much less hand over this crucial position to someone who is out of control.

But there was nothing they could do; Dong Shou'an had connections.

Previously, he had a close relationship with Jiang Zhiyang of the Jiangbei police and was able to pull strings with the Tianzhou police force on behalf of the mine.

If it weren't for this relationship, Dong Shouan wouldn't have been able to work at the complex Guodong Mine for so many years.

Previously, a portion of the profits from Guodong Mine was used to bribe District Chief Jiang.

Otherwise, if anything big or small happens at the mine, who will help to put it under control?

It is precisely because of Jiang Zhiyang's help and protection behind the scenes that the Guodong Mine has been able to maintain peace and tranquility for the past few years.

Even the slightest disturbance can trigger an immediate alert.

Otherwise, not to mention anything else, the troublemakers alone would be enough to give the mine a run for its money.

With the police's help, things naturally become much more convenient.

Even if some workers dare to cause trouble or call the police, in the end, the matter will still end up back in the hands of the security department!

Pang Shih-piao himself maintained his relationship with the Tianzhou police force through Dong Shou-an.

However, this relationship has recently begun to loosen.

Jiang Zhiyang got into trouble. I heard he stumbled in a power struggle and was taken care of.

And the one who managed to win over Jiang Zhiyang was none other than Li Dong.

To be precise, it's the Song Dynasty poetry behind Li Dong!

While Jiang Zhiyang was being taken to the provincial capital for investigation, Zi Yi died in the interrogation room there.

With Jiang Zhiyang's death, the Jiangbei police force underwent a complete reshuffle, forming a new system of vested interests.

The newly appointed leader, Guan Xinchang, showed no respect for Dong Shouan whatsoever.

On the Tianzhou police side, Dong Shouan is no longer able to speak.

In other words, after Jiang Zhiyang's downfall, Dong Shouan had lost his usefulness.

It was precisely for this reason that Pang Shibiao had the idea of ​​finding someone to replace Dong Shouan!

It's not that Dong Shou'an did anything wrong; it's just that his position is too crucial and it's not suitable for him to fall into the hands of outsiders.

Dong Shouan's position is tantamount to holding his lifeline in his hands.

The most important thing is still profit!

If we can get rid of Dong Shou'an and replace him with one of our own.

So the profits obtained from the mine will no longer need to be shared with Dong Shouan, and that's no small amount!

Unfortunately, Dong Shouan was also a cunning old fox. His idea had barely formed when the other party somehow noticed it.

Lately, Dong Shouan has been somewhat disobedient, not only acting distant but also outwardly complying with his orders while inwardly disobeying them.

After Pang Shibiao arranged for a deputy director to go there, the positions of the two sides became completely opposed.

In order to oppose him, Dong Shouan actually began to actively approach Zhao Hongbo, which made Pang Shibiao both angry and furious.

He knew exactly what the other party wanted to do: to use Zhao Hongbo to restrain him and protect his interests in the mine.

Pang Shibiao certainly didn't want to give in obediently, but he didn't dare to do anything to Dong Shouan.

After all, Dong Shouan had worked in the mine for so many years and knew a lot of the mine's core secrets, as well as a lot of dirt on him.

If Dong Shouan really takes out these things, Pang Shibiao will be badly injured, if not killed!

The reason Pang Shibiao dared to target Dong Shouan was because he was certain that the other party would not dare to easily bring out these things.

Because these incriminating facts not only concerned his life and death, but also Dong Shou'an's own life and death.

Unless you push the other party too far or drive them to a dead end, they will never agree to fight to the death!

That's why Pang Shibiao was happy to see Li Donggang come to the mine.

If Li Dong can win over Dong Shou'an, it will save him a lot of trouble.

So when Pang Shibiao learned that Li Dong was coming to work at the mine, he not only did not stop him, but even tacitly approved of it.

Otherwise, how could Li Dong have taken office so smoothly?

There was only one person who didn't want Li Donglai to work at the mine, and that was Dong Shou'an himself!

First, Dong Shouan and Jiang Zhiyang had a close relationship, and Jiang Zhiyang's death was inextricably linked to Li Dong. There was an inherent and irreconcilable conflict between the two.

If the police thoroughly investigate Jiang Zhiyang's case, Dong Shouan will inevitably be implicated!

Furthermore, if Li Dong wanted to gain a foothold in Guodong Mine, the first thing he would do was to target Dong Shou'an's security department.

Therefore, despite Li Dong's notorious reputation, Pang Shibiao tacitly approved of the matter.

When Li Dong arrived at the police station, the first person he threatened was not him, but Dong Shou'an.

If Dong Shou'an can't defeat Li Dong, he will definitely beg for mercy.

Then he'll help eliminate Li Dong and take power back from Dong Shou'an.

It's a win-win situation, killing two birds with one stone, and Dong Shou'an certainly wouldn't dare to put up any resistance.

But now, the situation is clearly out of his control!

Through Zhao Hongbo, Dong Shouan and Li Dong actually sat at the same table and even drank and chatted happily.

This was something Pang Shibiao never expected!

Chairman Li is a cat, and Dong Shou'an is a mouse.

How can a cat and a mouse be sitting at the same table?

In any case, this is not what Pang Shibiao wanted to see!

Pang Shibiao rubbed his chin, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and said, "Something is definitely not right!"

"Have you thoroughly investigated Li Dong's background?"

"Could it be that they have ulterior motives and are actually after us?"

Fatty Ma quickly replied, "We've investigated, and it's just the situation that's publicly known."

"Apart from his wife, who is a police reporter, there's nothing particularly special about him."

"There are rumors circulating that Li Dong has connections with the provincial government, but no one has actually seen him, so we don't know if it's true or not."

"By the way, Li Dong's father was a worker at our Guodong Mine. He worked there for decades and is now retired."

"Not in leadership positions, but quite popular with people."

"Brother-in-law, do you think Li Donglai's work at the mine... has anything to do with this?"
