Threaten me? Let alone a mere deputy mayor, have I ever been afraid of the United States?

"You'll regret saying this!"

The deputy mayor scoffed, "We'll see!"

"Fine? Let's see what you're capable of."

After the deputy mayor left, Jiang Lan came in and asked, "Didn't they go too far?"

Damn it! This is outrageous; a deputy mayor dares to be so arrogant.

If this were on Gaim Island, I'd kick him out the moment I saw him.

Thinking about Gaim Island made me realize it was time to leave.

I just don't know if Uncle Fang has anything else to do.

"I'm too lazy to bother with them now."

"You may be lazy, but I'm not. Who are you? The chief engineer of the military. They dare to complain to you?"

Wow? Jiang Lan's got a real attitude now? It wasn't for nothing that I helped her; she's starting to defend me now.

"Then I thank Colonel Jiang."

"You're such a jerk! Aren't you supposed to be at a wedding tomorrow? Hurry up and get going!"

As dawn was approaching, I went back and slept for two hours. Then, it started noisily tidying up outside.

We need to go to Zhu Xiaoshu's bridal chamber first, and then go to the hotel to pick up the bride.

The convoy really shocked the people of Langyu. Zhu Xiaoshu himself was driving a Ferrari in front, followed by 65 Mercedes-Benz cars.

Even the camera in front was a Land Rover.

After causing a scene at the grand hotel, they went to the base to hold the wedding.

More than two hundred tables were set up in the base's courtyard, along with a large stage.

Needless to say, the people who came included business leaders, politicians, and even four military leaders, as well as Fang Zhiyou.

I was assigned to accompany those bosses; they were there for me anyway.

While I was eating, the deputy mayor who had contacted me yesterday rushed over:

"Mr. Zheng! I let my mouth slip yesterday. Please forgive me this time, I am a magnanimous man."

Before I could speak, the commander of the Eastern Army asked, "Who is this man? What inappropriate things did he say?"

The general manager of the Langyu base chimed in: "Old sir! He is the deputy mayor of our Langyu City."

The deputy mayor didn't know the general manager of Dongjun, but he did know the general manager of Langyu.

Hearing the head of Langyu address him like that, even the deputy mayor broke out in a cold sweat.

"Um... I just got excited and said some wrong things."

General Dongjun: "Oh? You got excited in front of Engineer Zheng? We can't even get excited in front of him. You're quite something."

"Ha..." All the leaders present laughed, which startled the deputy mayor: "Leader! It was my fault, I'm here to apologize."

The Eastern Army commander sneered: "Let me tell you another of Engineer Zheng's principles: once construction begins, there's no turning back. He won't turn back, and he won't let you turn back either. You can leave now."

"Huh? This!"

Langyu General Manager: "Didn't you hear what the old leader said? He told you to leave. If you don't leave, you might not even get the job guarding the reservoir."

Upon hearing this, the deputy mayor sighed and turned to leave.

The Dongjun boss snorted again: "I've heard about his affairs. He thinks that just because he's the executive vice mayor and has the authority to manage Zheng's company, he can threaten Zheng."

Engineer Zheng is one of our military personnel. Anyone who dares to cause trouble for him is causing trouble for us.

After he finished speaking, the other executives nodded in agreement.

“Engineer Zheng! There are still people saying there are problems with your information. At the meeting above, they demanded that the state take over Zheng Garden. We old guys have already expressed our opinions.”

It's enough that Zheng Garden is in the hands of the military; we can decide how to study it.

We had all agreed to come together today, but we also need to leave people upstairs to keep an eye on things.

I reassured Engineer Zheng, "Just do your thing, no one can take Zheng Garden away."

Hearing that made me feel good.

Fang Zhiyou chimed in, "Zheng Yang! Several CEOs held a meeting yesterday afternoon to discuss this."

In response to the targeting by the United States and others, the government selected leading talents in science and technology, weaponry, military affairs, economy, and diplomacy.

You are the weapons leader they want to nominate.

"Me?" Isn't that a bit too big? After all, there are many talented people in the military.

Can I do it?

Eastern Army Commander-in-Chief: "If we think you're capable, then you are. In terms of weaponry, we'll nominate you."

Don't refuse, we've thought it over carefully too.

This leadership role is more than just a title; it represents a comprehensive influx of funding, resources, and talent.

Fang Zhiyou added, "Of course, it depends on what the higher-ups think. But with so many CEOs choosing you, there shouldn't be any problem."

After lunch, we need to rush back to Kyoto for a meeting this afternoon. Just wait for updates.

To be honest, I'm also looking forward to this leadership role.

This is tantamount to admitting that my skills are top-notch.

I raised my glass and said, "Then I'd like to toast all the leaders to thank you for thinking so highly of me."

"Come on! Drink!"

Everyone raised their glasses, and the meal was very enjoyable. After the meal, I took them to the airport.

When I got back, I told Peng Jun that I planned to go to the seabed.

Peng Jun was still a little worried and insisted on going along.

There was no other way, so I had to drive Yuan Bao's yacht over there, with the car following behind, to prevent Aunt Jun from being overwhelmed by the pressure.

On the way, I told Fang Zhiyou and the others about their decision.

Peng Jun hesitated after hearing this: "If that's the case, then you really can't go all out on Gaim Island. But we still have to invest."

I understand Peng Jun's meaning: to prepare for both possibilities. The higher-ups have also done a lot of things that have been exposed and contradicted.

The main problem is that the higher-ups are too democratic; sometimes, if one person gets together with others, the decision can easily change.
