Chapter 22 Send him to the Western Paradise
After hearing his uncle say that, Zhang Dong thought to himself, "With your half-hearted attitude, you dare to say you've ever mined underground?"
However, Zhang Dong also wanted to give his uncle a chance. Perhaps, the current uncle was quite different from the one before.
After all, people change after just three days apart.
Recently, both his second uncle and this younger uncle have shown a significant change in their attitudes towards his family...
Zhang Dong's arrangement was to prioritize day shifts and not schedule night shifts.
After all, it's just the beginning, and everything takes time.
Besides, we still need to observe and assess the location of the mine's abundant mineral resources as we work, and currently, the conditions for operating night shifts are not suitable.
Seeing the miners from the two mining teams enter the mine, Zhang Dong was also very excited.
Finally, I own my own mine, and it's about to start construction, which signifies that my life has entered a brand new phase...
While I was happy, I was also a little worried.
His biggest concern now is that Wang Jianguo had the donkey pull this trick on him before, which was unexpected for Zhang Dong, but also reasonable.
If the other party didn't act this way, he wouldn't be Wang Jianguo.
To Zhang Dong's surprise, the next few days were peaceful, and Wang Jianguo did not send anyone to cause trouble.
This time, not only Zhang Dong, but even Zhang Dong's father Zhang Guangming felt something was strange.
This point was brought up again during dinner that evening.
“Zhang Dong, given Wang Jianguo’s nature after suffering such a huge loss, he should have taken action against you soon. Why hasn’t he sent anyone to cause trouble again?”
Zhang Dong was also puzzled when his father brought this up.
“I’ve been thinking about this for the past few days and I’m keeping a close eye on this kid.”
Zhang Dong is right.
Although the mine is only operating on day shifts now, he has left several security personnel outside the mine. They are all strong men he has handpicked, the kind who are very good at fighting.
After all, staying outside was to deal with Wang Jianguo's threat.
Leaving a coward outside is absolutely unacceptable.
After all, they didn't know when the other side would make a move. To put it bluntly, the other side could launch an attack at any time and cause damage to their mine.
But strangely enough, just as his father said.
Wang Jianguo has remained completely silent for the past two days.
Uncle Zhang Guangyao also looked very worried.
"I'm just worried about that bastard. He's been holding back a lot of trouble. It's obvious what happened. He was outmaneuvered like this. To put it bluntly, Zhang Dong completely crushed him. This guy definitely won't give up..."
Seeing his family members worried about this, Zhang Dong, though concerned himself, quickly comforted them.
"Don't worry, don't fret, the sky won't fall."
Although it seemed that Wang Jianguo wouldn't give up, it was also possible that they had taught Da Luzi and his gang a lesson before, which had shown Wang Jianguo, that good-for-nothing, what he was capable of.
That's why he didn't dare to act rashly.
But the other party will definitely not give up, so we must always be on guard...
Just as Zhang Dong had guessed, Wang Jianguo of the Wang family had a gloomy expression on his face.
He was furiously venting his anger on his few die-hard henchmen.
"I didn't expect that bastard Zhang Dong to be so shrewd. I thought that after he got the mine, he would be eager to go and check it out, leaving Big Donkey and the others there to teach Zhang Dong a lesson and then dump him in the ravine."
"But I never expected that, despite all my calculations, this guy was leading the miners there. The other side had more people, which is why Big Donkey and his men suffered a loss."
Li San, standing next to him, nodded angrily: "Yeah, boss, Big Donkey is completely finished this time. According to the hospital's diagnosis, even if Big Donkey recovers completely, he'll be crippled."
Wang Jianguo's face grew increasingly grim: "That's why I told you to hurry up and get a batch of explosives."
"That bastard Zhang Dong thinks I'm so easy to bully? He thinks he can control me just because he has evidence against me?"
"What a fucking joke."
"This time, I'm going to take advantage of his time in that mine and blow it up. He likes that mine, right? I'll make him pay with his life."
Zhao Dazhuang, the lackey, stood aside, gritting his teeth: "Okay, boss. I'll find someone right away and get a batch of detonators to send that bastard Zhang Dong to his death."
After watching his men leave, Wang Jianguo stood there dumbfounded for a long time before letting out a sinister laugh.
"Kid, I'll let you have some peace and quiet for two days. Then, while you're off guard and think I don't want revenge anymore, I'll give you a surprise attack."
He muttered these words to himself, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, and even made a gesture as if to chop off a neck...
Woniu Mountain, the mine in Zhangdong, is a scene of bustling activity.
As the two mining teams began mining, a large pile of freshly mined ore had accumulated on the hillside in front of the mine.
As the amount of mined ore increased day by day, Zhang Dong couldn't help but smile broadly.
But he still didn't dare to let his guard down.
The six men outside work day and night shifts, with three men on each shift.
Because of this, Zhang Dong's second uncle, Zhang Guangfei, once approached him and said that there was no need for so many people to stand guard outside.
Zhang Dong understood what his second uncle meant. His second uncle was always shrewd and calculating, and he felt that it wouldn't be worthwhile to pay six people's salaries if Wang Jianguo didn't retaliate.
But Zhang Dong disagreed: "Second Uncle, I feel that Wang Jianguo is fishing for trouble."
Zhang Dong's words left Zhang Guangfei somewhat bewildered: "Zhang Dong, what do you mean by that?"
Zhang Dong patiently explained, "Wang Jianguo might not have made a move yet, just to lull us into a false sense of security."
"Now, if they don't make a move, all is well; but if they do, they might pull off something big..."
"Cough cough—" Zhang Guangfei coughed twice, almost choking.
He had already realized that his eldest nephew didn't want to listen to his advice.
There was nothing he could do about it, since the boy wasn't his own son.
That being said, even if his own son doesn't listen to him, he can only watch helplessly.
Anyway, he had already pointed out the areas where he could cut costs and increase revenue to his nephew, and whether or not he listened was up to him.
Zhang Dong knew that his second uncle was thinking of him. After all, the mine had just started, and it would be hard for most people to give up six salaries for nothing.
In reality, Zhang Dong also felt a bit of pain, but there was nothing he could do; he believed that this security investment was entirely worthwhile.
Although his career is just beginning and he has many expenses, the salaries of these six people are a significant expense.
But he had a clear understanding of the situation.
