Chapter 130 The Contest

Wu Guo Zheng was speaking, and he took out a large stack of materials.

There were white, red, and yellow ones, all sorts of colors.

Jia Zheng Qing took a look and realized they were all materials regarding Jia Shu Qing receiving awards and commendations.

This was something he never expected; within his jurisdiction, there was someone who had received so many honors.

This was practically the greatest insult to him, the leader of the street investigation bureau.

Wu Guo Zheng's smiling face suddenly lost its smile, replaced by a stern expression.

"Tell me, if you can't even manage these materials, how is your work being done?"

"But what does this have to do with the report I wrote?"

Jia Zheng Qing tried to explain, even if Jia Shu Qing had performed exceptionally, it was a separate matter. She was currently a tumor plaguing the streets, and if not removed, she would surely become a source of trouble in the future.

"What do you think?"

Wu Guo Zheng retorted.

A higher rank could crush a subordinate. A few words were enough to leave a subordinate's mind blank.

This was leadership art.

Because of his question, he wanted Jia Zheng Qing to confess, weigh the pros and cons, and judge which words were appropriate and which were not.

Jia Zheng Qing naturally understood that saying more would be useless and he could only admit that his work was not up to par.

Of course, this might also be a difficult problem thrown at him by Wu Guo Zheng:

On one hand, a minor figure who had made significant contributions; on the other hand, ordinary citizens who were unaffected.

If it were you, who would you choose?

Returning from Wu Guo Zheng's office, Jia Zheng Qing was a bit dejected, his face somber.

Most people wouldn't be able to tell from his face, because it was too dark.

To truly solve the problem, he had to conduct a comprehensive investigation into Jia Shu Qing.

As part of the investigation bureau, he naturally had many effective methods. Moreover, within his purview, these tasks would not require much effort.

The results of the two-day investigation left Jia Zheng Qing quite satisfied.

"I knew it, how could such an overbearing person also make significant contributions to society?"

Jia Zheng Qing thought to himself.

It turned out that Jia Shu Qing did not lack contributions entirely, but rather, she did not have that many.

Many of the awards and commendation materials were just fillers.

This made Jia Zheng Qing happy, "Just you wait!"

He wrote another report and submitted it.

...

Jia Shu Qing had been staying at home these past few days, directing her younger brother and son to handle those two matters separately.

The news she received was that although neither side was willing to compromise, the matter had been suppressed from above.

This made Jia Shu Qing extremely happy, and she couldn't help but get up and pay respects to the God of Wealth.

But a voice suddenly rang out:

"Although the situation has a turn for the better, a great calamity is imminent!"

Jia Shu Qing's happy mood instantly tightened, and she thought, "Who is speaking?"

She looked around, but there was no one. She couldn't help but shake her head.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't slept well these days, she was starting to hear things.

Thinking this, she was about to leave after paying her respects when the voice appeared again:

"A great calamity is coming, make plans early!"

"Who? Who is speaking?"

Jia Shu Qing asked loudly.

But there was no one in the living room, and she had even sent the nanny away. She looked back at the God of Wealth, even less inclined to believe the God of Wealth was speaking to her.

As she was struggling, she suddenly saw the God of Wealth's eyes move.

"Ah? God of Wealth, is that you speaking?"

She was so startled that she immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to look up again.

"If this is true, please guide this disciple to a method to overcome this calamity. This disciple will surely worship you with mountains of gold and silver for a lifetime!"

At this moment, the God of Wealth was not the true Zhao Cai Shen, but Na Qian Lai.

He appeared before mortals once again, of course, selectively.

He came up with an idea that could not only bring him a large amount of wealth but possibly other rewards, such as blessed fruits.

Although absorbing blessed fruits with spiritual roots was possible, it consumed too much spiritual power. He felt he should obtain them through multiple channels.

Therefore, he chose to enter the mortal world.

"Tomorrow at midnight, place a gold bar here, and you will be safe!"

Na Qian Lai said in a low voice.

Jia Shu Qing was already trembling with fear. She couldn't believe that this was really the God of Wealth appearing.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Na Qian Lai didn't care about any of this, nor did he care about Jia Shu Qing's fate.

To make her believe him, he arranged a small interlude.

Since she had received divine instructions, Jia Shu Qing did not dare to be negligent. After a simple grooming, she went to the bank.

As a regular customer of the city bank, she had acquaintances there.

This matter of a gold bar was not a problem at all.

By midnight that evening, she respectfully placed the gold bar on the altar of the God of Wealth.

As soon as the gold bar was placed, a black light shot towards it and it instantly disappeared without a trace.

Jia Shu Qing naturally did not dare to question anything, but she wondered, "Does the God of Wealth also lack money?"

But to Na Qian Lai, "Lack, always lacking, will always be lacking!"

Having received money, one must naturally avert disaster for the giver.

Just as Jia Shu Qing finished doing this, she couldn't sleep and could only pour herself a glass of water and recline on the sofa in the living room.

She wondered, what great disaster would it be?

Was it that the two matters were not resolved? Did the money sent not settle things?

But there had been no movement for so many days; the possibility of any action was unlikely.

Suddenly, there was a "bang!"

Startled, Jia Shu Qing screamed, "Ah!"

At this moment, her son Zhao Hui and the nanny rushed out to see what had happened.

Since it was evening, the main lights in the living room were not on, and Jia Shu Qing had turned on a side lamp.

But when everyone looked carefully, they saw that the large chandelier in the center of the living room had fallen.

Fortunately, Jia Shu Qing was lying on the sofa at the time. If she had been sitting or standing, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Sister Wu, hurry and call someone to clean this up!"

"Yes, yes, young master!"

Sister Wu quickly went to find someone from property management.

"Thank heavens, it didn't hit me!"

Jia Shu Qing finally calmed down and repeatedly clasped her hands together in prayer to the God of Wealth.

So this was the great calamity the God of Wealth had spoken of!

How could something related to life not be a great calamity?

But at this moment, she thought of another saying: "If you survive a great disaster, you will surely have good fortune afterward!"

It seemed that the matters with the other two families would be resolved in the next few days. When daylight came, she had to quickly find out what was going on, especially what the situation was with the investigation bureau.

Although she heard that there were some complaints about her affairs in the neighborhood, she had connections in the district and city. Even though these were temporary alliances, they had helped her because of the money involved.

Not far away, Na Qian Lai watched Jia Shu Qing with a smile.
