Reborn into the Raging Surge world, starting with a small fish stall, Tang Ping studies the Art of War, but his path is nothing like Gao Qiqiang’s.

As they stepped out the door, Tang Ping asked, "What brings you here?"
"If I don't come, are you two planning to spend the night at the police station?"
Chen Shuting rolled her eyes at him and said, "I told you, you don't need to get involved in this. At worst, we can just move away. It's pointless and not worth fighting with these rural bandits."
"You can't say that," Tang Ping said, "There's no such thing as worth it or not. People fight for their pride, and even Buddha receives incense. I see your father has a lot of anger inside him. If we don't do anything about it, he'll never be able to hold his head up in the village. Sometimes, for a man, face is more important than life itself."
"I see."
Chen Shuting didn't say anything. After the three of them left the police station, they soon saw Chen Dafa also bringing people to protect Chen Fei and the others.
Fighting is usually a minor matter, and since no one was injured, there's not much to investigate. Although the police station doesn't have the concept of bail, as long as a bail is paid, the person can be released first.
If they cause any more trouble, their deposit will be forfeited.
But for Tang Ping and Chen Dafa, this deposit is nothing.
Watching Chen Dafa stride confidently into the police station, Chen Shuting suddenly stopped and said, "Since you're determined to fight, then fight to the end. However, dealing with someone like Chen Dafa, these petty tricks won't work, and they won't scare him. To kill a snake, you have to strike its vital spot!"
"Oh? It seems you already had a plan," Tang Ping said in surprise.
I knew it! Chen Shuting is at least an older sister-in-law, she couldn't possibly sit idly by and ignore something like this.
Chen Shuting said, "The reason why Chen Dafa can act as a local tyrant in Chenjia Village is firstly because he is rich. His second son, Chen Dacai, is a construction worker in the county town and has a construction team. His third son, Chen Dahuang, owns two entertainment venues and has a lot of thugs working for him. In addition, he himself is the village party secretary, so he has power, influence, and money, and no one dares to mess with him."
Chen Dafa, Chen Dacai, and Chen Dahuang—these three Chen brothers truly each control their own territory. They have money and manpower, no wonder they dare to be so arrogant.
"That's a bit difficult, mainly because we're unfamiliar with the area. But it's okay for us to stay in Jianning."
After thinking for a while, Tang Ping finally understood why Chen Shuting said that it wasn't worth it to be with them.
Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, let alone Tang Ping, who only brought Zhao Wei with him, who wasn't even a powerful dragon.
"To bring down Chen Dafa, we need to get rid of his two younger brothers first. I've already called a construction team from Jinghai, and they'll be bidding against Chen Dacai's construction team in three days. Don't you have a construction company? We can affiliate it with your company, and that way we can target Chen Dacai. He's spent a lot of money on this project. I estimate that if we can snatch the project from him, he'll be in for a good while," Chen Shuting analyzed.
Her analysis was insightful and logical; she truly lived up to her reputation as the woman behind Gao Qiqiang in the original drama, a top-notch strategist who devised plans.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ping's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "No problem, I'll send people over from Jinghai right away. Isn't Chen Dahuang in the entertainment industry? I'll open one right across from his."
"Finally, there's Chen Dafa. We might need to get on Director Liu's good side with him."
As Chen Shuting spoke, she whispered a few words in Tang Ping's ear.
Tang Ping nodded, and soon had a general idea in his mind.
The most crucial thing right now is to find someone from Jinghai to come over. Once back at Chen Shuting's house, Tang Ping immediately started making phone calls.
The first person I called was Bai Xiaojie, who also managed the construction company.
"Boss, do you have any humanity? I manage a factory and a construction company, and it's the middle of the night, and you're still calling to harass me. Are you trying to kill me?" Bai Xiaojie complained as soon as she answered the phone.
Tang Ping laughed and said, "I'll give you a raise next month and three more days off. Haven't you been saying you wanted to go to Hong Kong? I'll let you go and have your fill."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaojie immediately beamed and said, "Really? Boss, you're so handsome! I take back what I just said, you're the best boss in the world. Wait a minute, do you have some other conditions?"
Tang Ping touched his nose and said, "It's nothing. Help me transfer a construction team from the construction company tomorrow. We'll be bidding in three days."
“The old street project is already on a tight schedule. What if we have to pull in more construction teams and delay the project? We have a contract with the Shanshui Group.”
"It's alright. Have Lin Sen come over, and have the old street construction team hire more people. That's all, and get it done quickly."
After saying that, Tang Ping hung up the phone, not giving Bai Xiaojie a chance to complain anymore.
"Hey, hey..."
Sure enough, just before hanging up, Tang Ping heard Bai Xiaojie's exasperated voice.
Luckily, I was quick-witted enough.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Ping called Hu Xiandong: "Adong, bring a group of people to Jianning tomorrow, I need to set up a venue."
"Yes, boss."
Hu Xiandong was easy to talk to; he would do whatever Tang Ping told him to do, which reassured Tang Ping.
Everything is ready; now all that's left is to win over Director Liu.
Tang Ping has to handle this personally.
But there's no rush now; let the bullets fly for a while.
On the other side, after Chen Dafa bailed out his son Chen Fei and several others, the family sat in the hall.
Chen Dafa, the head of the family, took a sip of tea and said, "I've basically investigated this Tang Ping. He is indeed quite influential in Jinghai. But he seems to have misunderstood the situation. This is Jianning. We Chen family members never suffer in silence. If he dares to overturn my table today, then he's tired of living!"
Chen Fei had been holding back his anger for a long time, and said, "Dad, no doubt about it. They're staying at Chen Shuting's house. Tonight, I'll get some men and kill them! Damn it, that slut Chen Shuting, I'll have her sooner or later."
"Hehe, I heard that after her husband Bai Jiangbo died, she inherited a large amount of his property. She's a very rich woman, extremely wealthy."
"Who wouldn't want to be Cao Mengde? Especially a beautiful young woman like Chen Shuting, tsk tsk, that figure is absolutely stunning!"
"Brother Fei will gain both wealth and beauty, wouldn't that be wonderful!"
Several second-generation members of the Chen family spoke up.
Chen Dafa frowned slightly, tapped the table, stared at Chen Fei, and said with dissatisfaction, "What nonsense are you talking about? All you know is how to fight with people. When are you going to use your brain?"
"Then what else can we do?" Chen Fei asked.
"Have your second uncle come back. He's very familiar with Director Hu in town. Let's find a way to get the paperwork approved first. Then, we'll just call a bulldozer up and demolish the Chen family's ancestral graves. With Chen Dabing's temper, he definitely won't be able to hold back and will take action. Then, we'll be acting legally and legitimately."
Chen Dafa didn't even lift his eyelids, and said lightly, "With Chen Dabing in our hands, let's see what that girl Chen Shuting dares to do."
