16: Chapter 16 Xu Qianli’s Conditions!
Zhang Cheng said, “What ‘real grinder’ nonsense are you spouting, Xu Qianli?
And asking about my uncle?
What the heck are you on about!”
Xu Qianli couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
He had heard this phrase while watching a video about Zhang Kuisan.
Zhang Kuisan was fooling around with a woman, praising her voluptuous behind.
And the identity of that woman was a bit special; she was the girlfriend of his own elder nephew, Zhang Cheng.
As the uncle, he had made a move on his nephew Zhang Cheng’s girlfriend, and Zhang Cheng was still clueless, busy defending Zhang Kuisan, which was downright laughable.
Xu Qianli looked at Zhang Cheng as if he were observing a fool, then his gaze settled back on Zhang Kuisan.
“Deputy County Magistrate Zhang, your dim-witted nephew here seems to be out of the loop,” he said.
“Do you know what it ans, Mr.
Deputy County Magistrate?”
This…
Zhang Kuisan braced himself and said, “Where did you hear that from?”
Xu Qianli replied, “You don’t need to worry about that.
I just want to know what that phrase ans.”
“You graduated from Peking University’s Chinese Literature program, the number one scribe of Jiang City County Governnt, so talented—and if you don’t know, how could I possibly know?”
“Xu Qian, to be honest, I’ve always quite admired you.”
“It’s just that you reached a high position at a young age and were a bit too proud and impatient.
If you could let go of your impetuosity, you’d have a great future ahead.”
“I didn’t realize before coming here today how serious the issues with the Big Tycoon Nightclub were.”
“Now that I know, I’m truly heartbroken and wish I could have shut the Big Tycoon Nightclub down sooner.”
“You, Wu Kai, Zhang Tao all did well.”
“It’s just that, well, there are so details I still haven’t grasped.
Shall we find a place where you can report your work to in detail?”
Zhang Kuisan softened his tone, no longer pursuing the accountability of Xu Qianli and the others like Wu Kai and Zhang Tao, instead offering praise before suggesting they talk alone.
Others might not understand the aning behind Xu Qianli’s words, but he knew all too well.
Zhang Kuisan had a preference for won with fuller figures, and so ti ago, he noticed that his elder nephew Zhang Cheng’s new girlfriend had especially wide hips, swinging as she walked, which piqued his interest.
After making a promise to help her secure a good position in the Tobacco Bureau, he finally won her over and had a good ti fooling around with her at the Big Tycoon Nightclub, enjoying himself imnsely.
It was during that ti he blurted out how ‘real her grinders were.’
Such a private comnt being known by Xu Qianli, and with Xu Qianli leading the raid on the Big Tycoon Nightclub that day, made it clear that Xu Qianli had so dirt on him.
Although he didn’t presently know the extent of what Xu Qianli held over him and wasn’t able to gauge his true intentions, he had no choice but to temporarily drop any plans of dealing with him and talk alone, to discover exactly what he had in his hands and what he wanted.
Talking alone was also what Xu Qianli wanted, so he nodded, and the two went to Zhang Tao’s office together.
Watching the two leave, Zhang Cheng was perplexed.
“Damn it, what’s going on?
Why did my uncle suddenly beco so friendly with Xu Qianli?
That’s just bizarre.”
“And what does ‘real grinder’ even an?”
Suddenly, Zhang Cheng thought of his recently acquired girlfriend and her rather sizable behind, shaped like a grinder.
Could it be that Xu Qianli’s ‘grinder’ comnt was related to a woman?
Could it be that my uncle’s affair with so woman is known to Xu Qianli?
Xu Qianli and Zhang Kuisan quickly made their way into Zhang Tao’s office.
As soon as the door closed, Zhang Kuisan’s expression darkened, and he glared at Xu Qianli nacingly.
“You don’t think that by exploiting personal relationships like those between n and won, you can bring down, do you?”
“Xu Qianli, you don’t really believe that I, Zhang Kuisan, could be taken down so easily?”
“Let tell you, I have fought and scraped through so many years in Jiang City, I haven’t been eating vegetarian.
Piss off, and you won’t have it easy!”
Zhang Kuisan warned Xu Qianli fiercely, throwing him an intimidation ant to unseat him.
He just didn’t believe that with his status, he couldn’t suppress soone like Xu Qianli, who had no backing and was nothing but an empty shell.
Xu Qianli acted as if he hadn’t heard a word from Zhang Kuisan, casually seating himself in Zhang Tao’s boss chair, feet propped up on the desk.
He pulled out a cigarette, lit one, and while puffing away, scrutinized Zhang Kuisan as one would a dead dog.
Being stared at by Xu Qianli and facing his attitude made Zhang Kuisan feel extrely uncomfortable, “Don’t just sit there in silence.
What exactly do you want?”
“What do I want?”
“The nerve you have to ask that!”
“I, Xu Qianli, have been at the Jiang City County Governnt for many years.
I believe I have conducted myself with integrity in my work, and I’ve been pretty decent in how I deal with people.
I’ve never offended anyone.”
“But after the old County Magistrate passed away, and you beca the Acting County Magistrate, you imdiately started to suppress , stripped of all my positions.
At work, you treated like a dog, even transferred my house to Zhang Cheng, costing my marriage ho, my girlfriend broke up with , and I lost everything—career, love, and ho.”
“You suppress like this, and now you turn it around and ask what I want.
Do you think that’s fitting?
How do you have the face to even ask that!”
Xu Qianli hit back without courtesy, not giving Zhang Kuisan an ounce of face.
Previously, he was his own leader, crushing relentlessly.
Now, there was no need to even consider him worthy of my attention!
Faced with such a strong-willed Xu Qianli, Zhang Kuisan fell silent.
His reason for being so assertive, throwing his weight around to intimidate Xu Qianli, also had another underlying intention: to test Xu Qianli, to see if he had the confidence to stand up against him.
After testing the waters, the result was far beyond his expectations.
Not only did this guy dare to challenge him, but he was also domineering and aggressive.
It seed that what he had in his hands was not simple at all.
With a laugh, Zhang Kuisan switched to a smiling face.
“Xu, I was just joking with you earlier.
Why did you take it seriously?”
“I have said before, you are young and learned, talented and capable of being molded into sothing great.”
“Now that the old County Magistrate has passed away, and I, as the Acting County Magistrate, am about to beco the new County Magistrate, it’s exactly the ti when I need talents.”
“You are a talented person.
Are you interested in helping , becoming my secretary?”
Unable to force him, Zhang Kuisan simply switched tactics, throwing out a fake olive branch trying to stabilize him.
“Not interested!”
When faced with the invitation from Zhang Kuisan, Xu Qianli did not hesitate for even a second, giving his response instantly.
Zhang Kuisan’s smile froze; he had thought to feign friendliness to stabilize Xu Qianli, to buy ti to figure out how to deal with him.
He didn’t expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.
Xu Qianli rejected him outright, without a hint of hesitation, clearly showing he didn’t consider him important.
Force didn’t work, nor did seduction.
Zhang Kuisan simply said, “There are no outsiders here, so speak up.
What do you know, and what do you want?”
Xu Qianli held up a finger.
“What I know, you don’t need to ask.
I guess even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe it.”
“As for what I want, it’s simple.
Everyone who has been suppressed by you during this ti, reinstated to their forr positions!”
