361 The Invisible Enemy

"Zhao Gang, the town mayor won't let you off. You and the other village chiefs will become the best tools for him to prove his innocence."

"I... What should I do?" Zhao Gang's face had already turned pale at Zhou Hao's words.

He suddenly thought that, soon, his assets would be frozen and confiscated, and his family would also be implicated. His final fate was likely to be incarceration.

The secretary beside him was shocked into silence.

Even Zhao Gang was frightened, let alone him.

Now, it was no longer a matter of whether he could be the village chief or not. Zhao Gang's current concern was self-preservation.

"President Zhao, don't be nervous. I'm here to help you solve your problem." Zhou Hao suddenly revealed a bright smile.

"Just call me Zhao Gang." Zhao Gang was obviously panicking. Zhou Hao had bluntly stated his greatest innermost fears.

Now that the other party could help him solve this, he naturally had to lower his stance.

"Hmph, a bunch of ignorant fools," Zhou Hao thought in disdain.

He was an elite business talent in Province A. It was too easy for him to deal with this mere village chief who was backwards and outdated.

Zhou Hao had only browsed some key information on the internet and easily grasped these people's mentality.

Cowardly, afraid of death, and greedy.

It was useless to reason with such people.

"Village Chief Zhao, listen to my plans. I can guarantee that you can continue to hold the position of village chief," Zhou Hao replied with a smile.

"I'll follow your plans," Zhao Gang said grudgingly.

He had no better way of dealing with it now even if he didn't agree. Zhou Hao was right. Zhao Gang was most afraid that M City's Disciplinary Inspection Committee would suddenly investigate him. In the past, everyone had tacitly agreed to use the position of village chief to make money.

However, the political situation had changed. A person like Zhao Gang would not be able to withstand an investigation.

In order for self-preservation, he could only turn to the unknown young man in front of him. Zhao Gang didn't dare to take the risk. Perhaps the other party had evidence of his corruption.

"Don't be afraid, Village Chief Zhao. We are now working together. As long as you obediently follow my instructions, the development of Houtu village will not be worse than that of Qinghe village. As long as you reach a certain achievement, the villagers will protect you from the bottom of their hearts. Will you care about the investigation from the top?" Zhou Hao said indifferently.

After hearing Zhou Hao's words, Zhao Gang swallowed and calmed down.

"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Zhou," Zhao Gang said somewhat bitterly.

"Of course." Zhou Hao nodded.

To deal with Chu Ning and Zhou Wei, he needed the help of the locals of M City.

After a day of classes, Chu Ning received a call from Zhou Wei as soon as she walked out of the school.

"Hello?" Chu Ning was a little confused. Why was Zhou Wei calling her at this time?

"Chu Ning, is it convenient for you to come over to the Soaring Clouds Group now? I have something important to tell you." Zhou Wei's voice sounded heavy on the other end of the phone.

"Alright." Chu Ning did not ask any further. If it could be explained over the phone, Zhou Wei would not have asked her to go over personally.

Chu Ning had prepared a quiet place for Lu Chao in M City so that he could focus on the development of the software. In just over a day, Lu Chao had already built a general framework. Chu Ning was going to take a look after school and tell Lu Chao the advantages of some popular software from before she had transmigrated, in order to give him some inspiration.

"What exactly could it be?" Chu Ning frowned as she thought of all the possibilities.

The construction of the first floor of Soaring Clouds Group was nearing its end, but Chu Huan was still working at the construction site. He still had half an hour before he could finish that day's work.

In order to avoid embarrassment for Chu Huan, Chu Ning had to go up the stairs at the back of the building. She took the elevator from the second floor.

The building had a total of 22 floors, and the top floor was not for rent. It was Zhou Wei's private residence and office.

"You're here." Zhou Wei had dark circles beneath his eyes, as though he had not rested well the night before.

"What's the important matter?" Chu Ning asked casually.

"Someone from the Zhou family wants to deal with you. My guess is that Cheng Yi is asking her family for help," Zhou Wei spoke with a grave expression.

"I don't mind having one more enemy. I have quite a few enemies now anyway." Chu Ning spread her hands. She was not afraid of such a challenge.
