Chapter 125: The Kongs' Mountain is Not High Enough (Second Update)

  Kong's eyes lit up. Although his official career was stuck at the deputy township level, which is the same as his eldest son's deputy departmental level, he had not lost contact with some old subordinates and friends over the years. His position was very upright, and in the past, when colleagues of the same rank were promoted, his congratulations were sincere. Even if some young people became leaders, he would cooperate well with them at work.

  This also makes Kong Jiefang's interpersonal relationships very good, and his official career is also going well. To this day, he can still keep in touch with many colleagues and subordinates, not seeking anything, but just to broaden one's horizons. When seeing Zhang Jun's changes, a ripple arises unconsciously in his heart, feeling that he has paid too little attention to this second son-in-law. Being able to serve as the director of the Public Security Bureau in the most prosperous central area of Pingjiang, he is already a real powerful deputy department-level cadre, and how can he still be that old yellow cow who never speaks at home?

  In the past, Zhang Jun was a good hand at criminal police, but not a leadership material. Kong Jiefang just let his children make some unnecessary attacks on him, but now, after a year, he has changed a lot.

  Zhang Jun said in a low voice: "Don't look at Xiaodong with the eyes of six years ago, he has changed a lot. The army, this big melting pot, has helped me, a father who didn't educate his child well, to re-mold him once again."

  Zhang Jun's rebuttal was powerful, causing a brief awkward silence in the room. The old lady took out a plastic bag from the head of the bed: "Lian Da, give everyone some melon seeds."

  The big uncle got up and lit a cigarette for everyone, and the atmosphere was finally relieved. However, Kong Lianren felt unhappy in his heart. After smoking a cigarette and chatting randomly, they turned to Zhang Jun again: "How's your work going? I've heard it's not easy?"

  Zhang Jun smiled calmly: "The Central Branch is going to be upgraded. As the director of this branch for less than half a year, I'm a bit of an eyesore. There are always people who want to jump out and accuse me. The person who stole the gun has been caught, and there are many witnesses who can prove my innocence. It won't take long before everything is settled here."

  Kong Jiefang narrowed his eyes: "Promoted to deputy department level?"

  Zhang Jun still showed great respect to his father-in-law, nodding: "Uh-huh, someone had asked me to move to the municipal bureau as deputy director before, I didn't budge. Having just taken over as the top leader for a few days, I won't do something that would let others take my place."

  One sentence. Kong Jiefang and Kong Lianren both looked downcast, but Kong Jiefang was slightly better off, at least he had once held the position of village head for a period of time in the countryside, while Kong Lianren had never truly grasped power, he yearned for it but could not reach it. When Zhang Jun said "the first-in-command", his heart involuntarily ached, and he couldn't help but speak out: "Old Zhang, big brother has figured it out over the years. Sometimes, yielding is not losing. A temporary calm before the storm may also bring about a vast and open future."

  Zhang Jun smiled slightly and nodded slightly to show his agreement. He didn't want to get entangled in some things. After all, this big family, apart from being a bit petty and showy, was still very affectionate among relatives. Whoever had something going on would not be stingy with help. The changes in their own home were huge. What kind of connections his son had now, even if he mentioned them here, wouldn't have much significance, and there was also the suspicion of self-boasting.

  "How come Little Sister hasn't returned yet?" After chatting for a while about work and life, Kong Lianda took out his phone and dialed Little Sister Kong Zhu's number while talking.

  "Hello..." After a hello, Kong Lianda furrowed his brow. On the other end of the phone, there was a burst of noise, and after putting it on speakerphone, he heard intermittent arguing sounds inside, one of which was naturally the familiar Kong Zhu.

  "Brother, they're taking me to Fu'an police station." Then I heard a loud shout and the phone hung up.

  Everyone was stunned. Kong Lianda dialed the number again, but the phone couldn't get through. For this younger sister who had been deeply hurt in love and struggled in life, all her elder brothers and sisters loved her even more. As soon as they heard that their little sister was in trouble, they all jumped up and wanted to go with them.

  "Re-elected and reached, you see what's going on?" The old man's face sank, and he gave an order. The black and white of the Kong family were not given in vain. Who dares to take away our little girl?

  The young people here heard that their little aunt was in trouble and they all jumped up to follow, especially Kong Tianxi shouted the loudest: "Damn it, who dares to move my little aunt, I'll kill him."

  Kong Lianren, Kong Lianda, Da Yifu and Zhang Jun sat in that A6, Zhang Shidong took Su Xixi, Zhang Yiqing, Kong Tianci and Wang Yu, Yu Meidan stayed at home to take care of Dabao.

  Kong Tianci had a Nissan, when he just came back, he was still wondering whose identical Pajero was at the gate of the courtyard. At this moment, seeing Zhang Shidong take out the key, his own car didn't start, and he rushed over directly: "Xiao Dong, you don't recognize me, I'm here."

  Boom!

  The car started, and Kong Tianci couldn't wait to step on the accelerator. The car shot out with a loud bang and crashed into his Nissan. The Nissan was like a toddler who had been bumped by an adult, extremely aggrieved, and crashed into the wall corner without moving. The Mustang, however, was unscathed.

  "Kong Tianxi, are you courting death? If you can't drive, hurry up and let my brother do it." Zhang Yiqing and Wang Yu almost crashed into the back of the front row seats, but fortunately Su Xixi stabilized them and pulled them back.

  Kong Tianci looked at his Nissan with disdain and scratched his head, smiling: "Sorry sorry, Xiaodong, where did you modify this car? I'm impressed, it's too powerful. With this car, we can definitely beat those modified junk cars when racing."

  "Hurry up, something must have happened on Xiaoyi's side, they've all gone to the police station. She'll definitely bail someone out, and if others dare to take her away, they won't be afraid of Da Shu and Er Shu."

  Kong Tianci patted his forehead and rolled his eyes: "Nothing to worry about, we have Big Brother, he drives for Mayor Zhao, knows many people from all walks of life, even if something happens, he can handle it."

  It wasn't until they arrived at the Fu'an police station that everyone realized how serious things were. The cause was not a big deal, but rather a customer had come to Kong Zhujun's clothing store to buy clothes and accidentally burned a hole in them with a cigarette while trying them on. Kong Zhujun's store was a high-end boutique, and the prices of the clothes were very high, so it was only natural that he demanded compensation. However, the other party refused to pay.

  That's all there is to it. The other party brought over the instructor from the Fu'an police station, under the pretext of investigating Kong Zhuo for extortion and blackmail. They also brought in people from the Administration for Industry and Commerce to investigate the clothing store for suspected sale of counterfeit goods. The people from the Administration for Industry and Commerce directly determined that the brands sold and represented by Kong Zhuo's store were counterfeit, and the clothing store was temporarily suspended from business.

  Underneath the surface, everyone who is still working has a belly full of resentment. Due to emotional face, they came and naturally vented on their opponents. The attitude of the comrades at the Fu'an police station was also very poor. When everyone arrived, Kong Zhutong was tearfully explaining himself, while a woman with top-to-bottom third-rate brand names but considered a noble in this county-level city sat aside with a triumphant smile.

  "Zhao pointed, what does it mean, the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, a family doesn't recognize another family." Kong Lianren walked in and gave his sister a reassuring look, then stepped into the open door of the instructor's office with a smile on his face.

  "Ah, Director Kong."

  After some simple small talk.

  Director Zhao looked at Kong Lian with difficulty, then glanced at the two middle-aged men who looked similar, and said: "Kong Kechang, your sister indeed has a suspicion of extortion from customers. Her clothes are fake brand names, the customer saw it, she still argued and deliberately bumped her clothes against the customer's cigarette butt during the argument, which made the clothes damaged. We have investigated this, these two gentlemen and the lady outside said nothing wrong."

  Kong Lian's face changed, he understood why Old Zhao was not giving him face. He took a closer look at the two men in his office, and just as he was about to speak with some hesitation, Kong Lianda walked in with big strides, his face full of smiles: "Qu General Manager..."

  "Little hole." One of the older men who was not old enough to shout at Kong Lianda stood up slightly, shook hands with Kong Lianda, sat back down, and gave him a little face.

  Director Zhao saw a familiar face and immediately introduced: "Director Kong, let me introduce you to our new General Manager of the Power Supply Branch Company, Mr. Qu. I'm sure you're not unfamiliar with him either. He's the person in charge of our Pingjiang Huiyao Real Estate Company's project here, Huafu Zunyi. You should know about it, right? It's what Director Qu is working on."

  After a brief introduction, the other party also gave the Kong brothers some face and was willing to chat with them for a bit.

  The elder brother who was in real estate, Brother Qu, coughed and said: "Director Kong, Little Kong, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but my younger brother has just arrived and when he had dinner with Secretary Ma, both him and his wife spilled wine all over their clothes. As the host, I wanted to buy them new ones to change into quickly, and tonight we still have to entertain Director Xia from Pingjiang Power Supply Company..."

  The Kong brothers heard it and thought it was over, no chance.

  Outside, Kou Tianci was still shouting loudly, but as soon as he saw Qu General, who did real estate, the arrogant look on his face immediately subsided, and he whispered to Zhang Shidong and others: "This matter is not easy to handle, this Qu General is a big shot, in Pingjiang it's like this, and when we come here it's still like this, with hard connections between black and white..."

  Taking advantage of his younger brother's relationship with Qu Zhang, Kong Lianren also didn't want to let his sister be too wronged, so he came out and made a phone call to his son. As the seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's gate, although his son was just a driver without any official position, he was still a person by the leader's side, and many times he had more face than himself and his second brother.

  "Dad, I won't be able to go back now. Have Erjie and the others arrived? Can you help me tell them that Mayor Zhao's side still has something going on, and in a bit I..."

  "Son, it's not your second aunt, it's your eldest aunt..."

  Kong Lian briefly introduced the situation to his son, Kong Jing Sheng remained silent for a full minute before saying: "Dad, you're not unaware that electricity is now vertically managed, and the big shots are very powerful. Even city leaders have to give them face. I know this new transfer, Director Qu, my little bit of face is definitely not enough. And then there's Huiyao's guy, what role do you think Huiyao plays? Even Second Uncle has to rely on him for food..."

  The police officers in the village saw that both parties were respectable people and didn't ask any further questions. Kong Zhu endured the humiliation but didn't want to cry in front of the younger ones, so he forced a bitter smile, wiped away his tears, and from time to time looked at his big brother in the distance.

  "Little sister, how about this: I'll apologize and your second brother will talk to them again. We'll get a few more decent outfits and that's the end of it. What do you say?"
