Reborn to Strive

Shi Zhen spent half a lifetime donating to charity, and after his death he went even further and gave away all his wealth.

The Heavens most likely took pity on him and he was reborn back to t...

Chapter 176

"You're really brave, no wonder you're destined for great things! I'm not like that, I've been timid since I was a child."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely lure the night watchmen away, you'll be fine!"

"Keep it up, bro!"

...

As soon as Shao Baitong's younger brother agreed, Liu Weicheng's nephew showered him with praise.

Liu Weicheng's nephew is named Jiang Xiaochuan, but he doesn't look "small" at all. He is broad-shouldered and burly, and if he doesn't shave for two days, a long chin will grow out on the side of his face. He is a tough guy.

But Shao Baitong's younger brother, Shao Quanhui, looked down on him.

This grown man is not only being exploited and bullied by Liu Weicheng, a skinny foreman in his forties, on the construction site, but now he doesn't dare to do anything.

Not manly at all!

However, he was quite pleased with Jiang Xiaochuan's praise.

Shao Quan didn't want to do this himself at all, since it was dangerous, but now he was in a bit of a dilemma.

If nothing had gone wrong at Shi Zhen's construction site, their subsequent plans would have been impossible to implement.

Jiang Xiaochuan absolutely refused to do it... What else could he do?

These past few days, he's been treating Jiang Xiaochuan to all sorts of good food and drinks, and he feels like he's wasted all his money!

No, it can't be said that the money was wasted... they were still able to help him trick the night watchman away.

For some reason, Shi Zhen has become particularly attentive to construction site safety, especially recently. At his several construction sites, the night watchmen have been keeping a close eye on things.

They're just ordinary construction sites, do they really need to be guarded so carefully?

Foremen: Yes, yes, the boss will send someone to check soon!

Shao Quan agreed with Jiang Xiaochuan that they would go to the Shizhen construction site tomorrow night and damage the scaffolding.

It's already late, so it won't be easy for Jiang Xiaochuan to get rid of the night watchmen.

After their conversation, Jiang Xiaochuan returned to the house his uncle rented near the construction site.

Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan return reeking of alcohol, Liu Weicheng frowned: "How much did you drink today?"

"It's not much... Uncle, I'm doing this all for our future!" Jiang Xiaochuan changed the subject and began to talk about Shao Quan's plans.

Liu Weicheng was shocked: "This person is too vicious!"

If there's an accident with the scaffolding, and a worker falls while working... they might lose their life!

Shao Quan said, "Yes, Uncle, we must not let this kind of person get away with it!"

Before they start work on their construction site, they carefully inspect all the scaffolding and other equipment, so even if someone tampers with the scaffolding, it won't harm them.

Moreover, they arranged for people to keep watch at night... Doing something like this requires a lot of commotion and isn't easy.

But now... Jiang Xiaochuan and Liu Weicheng plan to lure them into a trap and then call the police.

This guy definitely has a grudge against their boss. They helped their boss catch him... The boss should be very happy.

This is a great achievement!

After learning that Shao Quan had been visiting his construction site, Shi Zhen not only reminded his foremen but also found someone else to keep an eye on Shao Baitong.

There are many people in this world, but the one he fears most... is Shao Baitong.

Facing Shao Baitong... he couldn't help but feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

Therefore, he was aware of Jiang Xiaochuan's interactions with Shao Baitong's younger brother, since the two had often drunk together.

However, he didn't make a fuss; he wanted to see what Shao Baitong was planning to do.

the next day.

Hong Zhiqi has been living on the construction site recently, and his days are very peaceful.

He got up early that morning and went to wash his face.

Although he has a stable job, his past experiences have made him hesitant to spend money recklessly, so he still uses many of the old things from before.

For example, his towels were so worn out from being used for so long that he didn't dare to wring them out too hard, for fear that they would turn into strips.

After washing his face, Hong Zhiqi did not brush his teeth.

Many people his age don't have the habit of brushing their teeth, and he was no exception; he was very unrefined in his lifestyle.

After washing his face, he took out the leftover rice from yesterday's construction site, poured in boiling water, and planned to soak it before eating.

Before he even started eating, someone came over: "Hello, are you Mr. Hong Zhiqi?"

These people, carrying video cameras and speaking Mandarin, startled Hong Zhiqi, who instinctively asked, "I am... what's wrong?"

"Hello, I'm a reporter, and I'd like to interview you," the person said, glancing at Hong Zhiqi's legs.

Hong Zhiqi has already been fitted with a prosthetic leg, but because it's hot in the summer, he's wearing shorts, which expose the prosthetic leg.

Hong Zhiqi hesitated for a moment before saying, "What do you want to ask? I'll tell you everything!"

Guan Baiyu had previously told Hong Zhiqi that someone might come to interview him, and that he should just tell the truth.

Now... sure enough, someone's here!

Hong Zhiqi's current situation is quite different from what is described in online posts.

But it wasn't much better; his workplace changed from a scrap metal yard to a construction site, and he also got a prosthetic leg.

Hong Zhiqi said that he received help from Baishi Construction after his story spread.

The reporter noted this down and then inquired in detail about Hong Zhiqi's past.

Hong Zhiqi naturally told everything.

When the construction workers arrived at the site, they saw Hong Zhiqi being interviewed. They were all very curious and watched him with great interest.

They all knew about Hong Zhiqi's situation... but they never expected Hong Zhiqi to be in the news!

Think about Hong Zhiqi's previous boss and then think about their current boss... Their boss is really great!

Shi Zhen quickly learned that Hong Zhiqi had been interviewed—the media coming to the construction site was a big deal!

Duan Hongming told Shi Zhen about this.

Shi Zhen knew that Hong Zhiqi had gone to see reporters, but he was surprised that reporters would come to interview Hong Zhiqi: "I'll go see... Why are reporters here?"

As Shi Zhen spoke, he picked up his phone, intending to go to the construction site to take a look.

Duan Hongming said, "It's said to be about Hong Zhiqi, and it's caused a huge uproar online."

"It's blown up online?" Shi Zhen immediately asked, "Where did you mean?"

“Online, on a forum,” Duan Hongming said. “I just found out about this myself.”

Before Duan Hongming could finish speaking, Shi Zhen went to turn on the computer.

Shi Zhen doesn't have the habit of going online, and his work doesn't require him to use a computer, so he rarely goes online.

These past few days, his mind has been preoccupied with Shao Baitong's affairs, and he hasn't even turned on the newly bought computer in his office.

But now... he turned on his computer and, following Duan Hongming's instructions, found the post.

The forum where this post was published... isn't this the local forum that Guan Baiyu has always wanted to create?

This forum was created by Guan Baiyu, wasn't it?

So Guan Baiyu got involved in Hong Zhiqi's matter?

He would try to get rid of Shao Baitong, but now that Guan Baiyu has intervened, it's uncertain whether Shao Baitong will hold a grudge against Guan Baiyu...

Shi Zhen stared at the computer screen, saying nothing.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Duan Hongming asked, puzzled.

Shi Zhen said, "I won't go to the construction site... You go for me."

He's not in the mood to go there right now.

Shi Zhen had an urge to go to the provincial capital to find Guan Baiyu immediately, but now Shao Baitong was watching his construction site, and he didn't know what he was planning...

He gritted his teeth, trying to calm himself down.

The current Shao Baitong isn't actually that powerful, and he doesn't have many people around him... He doesn't need to be so afraid...

As Shi Zhen was thinking this, the phone on his desk rang.

The call was from Liu Weicheng.

Liu Weicheng and his nephew discussed it last night and decided to arrest Shao Quanhui.

He originally planned to arrest the man and then claim credit with Shi Zhen, but... his youngest son, who was with Shao Baitong, told him that there were others who were with Shao Baitong.

Are they the other foremen?

Liu Weicheng, fearing that someone would steal his credit, approached Shi Zhen in advance to claim credit: "Boss, this guy was lurking around our construction site before, and he even tried to get me to switch the construction materials. I've been keeping an eye on him for a while now, but he went to my nephew and actually tried to cause trouble on our construction site..."

While expressing his loyalty, Liu Weicheng explained what Shao Quanhui was going to do and also shared his own plans.

Shi Zhen: "..."

Shi Zhen knew about Shao Quan's contact with the workers at Liu Weicheng's construction site, but he only knew that Shao Quan had failed to find Liu Weicheng and then hooked up with a worker on the construction site who was not liked by Liu Weicheng, seemingly planning something.

The worker who was disliked by Liu Weicheng was Liu Weicheng's nephew?

That makes sense...

Liu Weicheng is quite shrewd; he probably only "dislikes" his own nephew.

Shi Zhen said, "Uncle Liu, thank you for this. Actually, I told you that I would have someone investigate you so you could be more vigilant when I found someone acting suspiciously at my construction site. It's all thanks to your vigilance."

So that's how it is! Liu Weicheng had been wondering why Shi Zhen's assistant dared to tell them this news!

Thinking that he had previously thought Shao Quan was sent by Shi Zhen to test him... Liu Weicheng blushed.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Shi Zhen about this suspicion, and Liu Weicheng began to pledge his loyalty.

Shi Zhen said, "Uncle Liu, I trust you. I'll leave this matter to you. Be careful."

"Don't worry, boss, I'll definitely get things done for you!" Liu Weicheng said.

Shi Zhen originally planned to go to Anshan Town to take a look, but Liu Weicheng told him this... In the end, he did not go and left the matter to Liu Weicheng to handle.

It was late at night. Shao Baitong drove Shao Quan Hui to Anshan Town, stopped the car in a deserted place, and then asked Shao Quan Hui to run some errands.

Shao Baitong has already contacted some local thugs. Once something happens at Shi Zhen's construction site tomorrow, those thugs will rush to the site and make a big scene.

He promised these thugs ten thousand yuan if they did a good job.

By then... everyone in Changxi City will know that Shi Zhen's construction site is just so-so.

They've pulled some strings and should be able to take over Shi Zhen's construction sites, or at least one of them.

Shao Baitong has already begun to look forward to a bright future.

Shao Quan had visited the construction site that Liu Weicheng was in charge of before and had wandered around the area several times.

This time, I'm pretty familiar with the place.

He quietly entered the construction site, intending to find Jiang Xiaochuan, but couldn't find him.

Fortunately, the person on night watch was not there... Jiang Xiaochuan must have called the person on night watch away.

There was no one on the construction site, which was perfect for him to cause trouble.

Shao Quan had never done anything like this before and felt a little uneasy, but he gritted his teeth and went to the scaffolding. After climbing up, he began to cut the ropes with a knife.

He was cutting... when a beam of light shone on him, and at the same time a voice rang out: "What are you doing?"

Shao Quan was startled and instinctively looked over, only to be even more dumbfounded.

That person with the flashlight... is wearing a police uniform?!
