Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

Li Sancheng was startled and couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Oh, are you going to punish me?"

Seeing the other person's startled expression, Zhang Dong couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Do you have a persecution complex? Haha, you're not trying to extort money from me, why would I hit you?"

"Not only will I not hit you, I'll also reward you."

"What? You're going to reward me?" Li Sancheng's face was full of disbelief.

Previously, an employee from Xinda Mining Development Company in the provincial capital came to his home. The employee was arrogant and spoke in a rude tone.

Although the other party promised to find him a job during their conversation, the condescending tone of the other party completely enraged Li Sancheng.

In his anger, he even slapped the arrogant guy.

In his anger, Li Sancheng realized that a power struggle had broken out in the village.

Both Zhangdong and the mining company from the provincial capital wanted to mine the mines in their village.

Li Sancheng made a decision almost without hesitation: he led his men to vigorously promote the idea among the villagers, urging everyone to vote for Zhang Dong.

He did this partly out of anger towards these people from the provincial capital.

He also heard that Zhang Dong had publicly promised that once he obtained the mining rights, he would also start a breeding project in the village.

Therefore, he resolutely chose to promote Zhang Dong.

Seeing the other party's shocked expression, Zhang Dong turned to Zhang Guangyao and said, "Uncle, starting today, Li Sancheng and his men will be our initial staff. Record their attendance and pay them at the end of the month."

"what? What?"

Now it was Li Sancheng and his henchmen's turn to be shocked.

"Have we already been hired and become employees of your company?"

Li Sancheng looked shocked.

Zhang Dong smiled and said, "That's right. I'm quite surprised that you were able to do this on your own initiative. Let's not talk about what happened before."

"But from now on, if you follow me and do your best, I will never treat you unfairly."

Upon hearing Zhang Dong make this promise, Li Sancheng's eyes turned red with excitement.

Ever since Wang Biao swindled him out of a sum of money, he had become completely penniless. Now that Zhang Dong was paying him a salary, he was overjoyed.

However, he still hesitated for a moment: "Brother Zhang Dong, thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid there's nothing I can do for you."

Zhang Dong laughed again: "Who said you can't do anything? Next, you lead your men and keep an eye on these mining companies from the provincial capital. Don't you think you can't do that?"

Upon learning that Li Sancheng was promoting him for free, Zhang Dong had this idea in mind.

The other party's actions are a sign of great goodwill towards me.

Since the prodigal son has turned over a new leaf, why not give him a chance?

In addition, Zhang Dong also felt that Xinda Mining Company from the provincial capital was particularly dishonest.

Damn it, what's going on? I went through all that trouble to finally find the location of the jade mine in Black Tiger Village, and now they're here to compete with me for it.

Moreover, the enemy's forces are now penetrating into every household.

It is obvious that the other party is also determined to exploit this jade mine.

Since that's the case, Zhang Dong wanted to learn more about the other party's situation.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to winning every battle.

If my uncle and the miners he brought were to appear in front of these people from the provincial capital, it would be too conspicuous.

It would be best to have Li Sancheng and his men keep an eye on their every move.

Upon understanding Zhang Dong's idea, Li Sancheng was overjoyed.

“Hey, Brother Zhang Dong, I can do this job, and I guarantee I’ll do it well.”

Zhang Dong laughed loudly: "Good, as long as you do this well, it will be a great achievement, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly..."

Zhang Dong was also very happy, never expecting that Li Sancheng would eventually stand on his side.

Seeing Li Sancheng and his underlings turn away excitedly to keep an eye on the people from the mining company in the provincial capital, Zhang Guangyao couldn't help but feel excited as well.

“Nephew, you’re really something. Even your enemies are now deeply impressed by you. This shows that you have a lot of personal charisma.”

Zhang Dong was surprised to hear these words from his uncle.

"Wow, that's impressive, Uncle. You even know the term 'personal charisma' now, haha."

Zhang Guangyao also laughed loudly: "It seems that the villagers are not fools after all. These senior executives and staff from the mining company in the provincial capital act like high and mighty saviors, which makes the villagers extremely disgusted."

"But it's better that they did it this way. There's no harm without comparison. Since they're courting death like this, I believe that we will definitely be the ones to secure the development rights for the Black Tiger Village mine in the end..."

Zhang Dong nodded: "However, we can't let our guard down. After all, the final outcome is still far from certain..."

A few days later, outside the gate of village chief Li Qingshan's courtyard.

Each household sent a representative to participate in the referendum on the ownership of the mine in Black Tiger Village.

At this time, a long table had been set up outside the courtyard wall of Li Qingshan's house.

Li Qingshan, standing beside the table, also looked excited.

"Fellow villagers, we will be holding a village-wide vote here today."

"Since the discovery of jade mines in our Black Tiger Village, two companies have come to our village one after another."

"Next, we will promote a democratic approach and decide through a public vote which company will develop our village's mine."

"Next, I'll explain the voting rules: one ballot per household..."

"Alright, now that the villagers have filled out their ballots, let's move on to the vote counting—"

Li Qingshan's voice boomed: "Next, there are two small blackboards here. Each of the bidding parties will send a representative to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the votes."

Upon hearing what the old village chief said, Zhang Dong immediately stepped forward.

On the other side, a very fat man came out.

The fat man was none other than Zheng Wankui, the leader of this operation.

At that moment, he felt his heart leap into his throat.

The young man in front of me is named Zhang Dong, and he is indeed incredibly young.

At first, Zhang Wankui didn't take this country bumpkin seriously at all.

But now, when it came to the vote counting, he suddenly felt very nervous.

Although they did a lot of work during this period.

However, the arrogant attitude of the staff in the early stages has already caused serious consequences.

It remains to be seen whether they will be able to win the bid this time through the election.

If they fail to secure the development rights to the Black Tiger Village mine, their general manager will undoubtedly be furious and won't let them off the hook.
