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

Wang Jianguo's lips twitched; he wished he could jump up and slap Zhang Dong hard across the face.

The old man forcefully suppressed the urge and managed a smile.

"What, can't I have this kind of thought?"

“I did have a prejudice against you before, and I didn’t like the look of you. The main reason was that you beat my son and took the mine from me.”

"Speaking of which, your current success is partly due to my efforts."

"What, your credit?" Zhang Dong sneered, "Do you think I'll be grateful to you for this?"

Zhang Dong wore a mocking expression.

"No, no, no, Brother Zhang Dong, you misunderstand. I asked you to come here tonight not to ask for your gratitude, but to resolve our conflict. What was that 'resolve conflict' again?"

Upon meeting Zhang Dong, Wang Jianguo was so enraged by Zhang Dong's constant mockery that he couldn't even remember the words he had just uttered.

Zhang Dong laughed loudly: "Let's turn swords into plowshares."

"Yes, yes, we brothers should have sat down and had a proper talk a long time ago."

"What, have a proper talk? Wang Jianguo, when did you get this idea?"

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's words, Wang Jianguo let out a heavy sigh.

"To be honest, brother, my development is nowhere near your pace. I'm even embarrassed by it. You should be able to see that too."

"Your career is soaring like a rocket, and now the city TV station and the city's official newspaper are reporting on you repeatedly."

"To put it bluntly, you have become a prominent figure in our hometown, while I, who started earlier, have been left far behind by you."

Zhang Dong was quite surprised to see what Wang Jianguo said to him after they met.

"Wang Jianguo, you didn't call me here just to say this, did you?"

Seeing Zhang Dong's wary expression, Wang Jianguo quickly continued to smile and explain.

"Oh, brother, don't take it to heart. That's why I didn't host a banquet at home to invite you. I chose to hold the event in town so you wouldn't worry."

"Next, I'd like to ask you, brother, to guide my development so that it doesn't stagnate like this. To be honest, that's what I'm thinking."

Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Dong frowned again.

Zhang Dong was not surprised that the other party had such thoughts.

During this period, I have been actively expanding my business in various directions.

Zhang Dong also knew that Wang Jianguo was not following this path. This guy only knew how to develop mines and couldn't see through the current situation at all, so it was normal for him to have such thoughts.

Zhang Dong burst into laughter: "So, you want to learn from me, is that what you mean?"

"Hehehe—" Wang Jianguo quickly put on a smile: "Brother, you're so smart, you're quick-witted. You can't hide my little schemes from you at all."

At this point, Wang Jianguo pretended to be friendly and pulled Zhang Dong's arm.

"Brother, please have a seat. I will now apologize to you properly."

"Also, I want you to give me some pointers on my business, so you don't drag me down too far. If this continues, I'll feel too ashamed to face anyone."

As he said this, he winked at the beautiful woman next to him.

"Alright, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and pour my brother Zhang Dong some wine."

He paid to hire this beautiful young woman; Wang Jianguo's idea was to use her as a honey trap for Zhang Dong.

Therefore, he picked a young and beautiful woman from the town to accompany him for drinks, hoping to completely seduce Zhang Dong and then take explicit photos of him.

Weren't you living the high life, getting all the publicity from the city TV station and the city party committee's newspaper, becoming a celebrity?

As long as he can take photos as evidence that Zhang Dong is sleeping with this beautiful young woman, all of Zhang Dong's previous glory will be gone forever, and he will be completely exposed for what he is now.

It was with this wicked thought in mind that he decided to invite Zhang Dong to the town.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, I've heard about how you made your fortune."

A tall, beautiful young woman, her face flushed, placed one hand on Zhang Dong's shoulder and picked up the wine pot with the other, pouring Zhang Dong a full wine cup with a splash.

"Mr. Zhang, you're a famous big boss now, people admire you very much."

"Since Mr. Wang is treating us, I'd like to take this opportunity to toast you, handsome boss, and wish you great wealth and a bright future."

Seeing the situation before him, Zhang Dong suddenly realized what was going on.

I thought it was a trap, but it turned out to be a honey trap.

The young woman in front of him was quite attractive, and it seemed she was trying to seduce him. Perhaps that old bastard Wang Jianguo had brought a hostess to accompany him for drinks.

Upon realizing this, Zhang Dong instantly understood Wang Jianguo's wicked intentions.

This isn't an apology or an attempt to get my business advice. This old bastard probably wants to catch me red-handed, take explicit photos of me, and blackmail me.

When he saw the beautiful young woman in front of him trying to force him to drink, Zhang Dong's eyes widened in surprise.

“I’m telling you, what you’re doing is taking the initiative. You just said that Mr. Wang is treating us, and you’re making me drink like this. What will Mr. Wang think? If anyone’s going to offer a toast, it should be you offering it to Mr. Wang first.”

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's words, Wang Jianguo's lips twitched, and he quickly waved his hand.

"Hey Zhang Dong, the main reason I'm treating you tonight is to curry favor with you. Only when you're happy with your drinks can you give me some pointers, right?"

"So don't worry about me. Besides, the beautiful lady has heard of your great name. Everyone knows you're a big-money boss now. If she toasts you, it wouldn't be good if you didn't drink it."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, are you going to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?"

The beautiful young woman blushed and gave a coquettish sigh.

"What? You want me to suffer the consequences? You really have a lot of nerve."

Knowing that the other party was a hostess, Zhang Dong naturally wouldn't be polite.

Seeing Zhang Dong's lack of respect, the beautiful young woman, who had been full of confidence, was thwarted.

Wang Jianguo promised her 2000 yuan tonight if she could win over Zhang Dong, so the young woman was full of confidence.

Moreover, knowing that Zhang Dong is a young, unmarried man, he would definitely be unable to resist her sweet talk and would obediently fall at her feet.

But after meeting him, she realized that winning over this young boss wouldn't be so easy.

Therefore, this beautiful young woman looked at Wang Jianguo in front of her in a coquettish manner, wanting him to give her some advice.

Wang Jianguo was also stunned when he saw this scene.

His original plan was that Zhang Dong was young and impetuous, and if he gave him a nice face and introduced him to a beautiful young woman, Zhang Dong would definitely get carried away.

After a couple of drinks, if you ask him what his last name is, he might not even know.
