Chang Wenzhu's influence in Qiao Jiabao was greater than Liu Dagen's in Taoyuan Village.
Because he was not only the deputy village head but also a construction foreman who had monopolized several years of projects.
In the town, he had made the acquaintance of many real estate developers and also gathered a group of brothers willing to risk their lives for him.
The money and connections he had accumulated over the years became his strong backbone in dealing with anything.
Also, because of these, he didn't take anyone seriously in Qiao Jiabao.
Even though he was just a deputy village head, with his strength, he didn't even consider the official village head worth his attention.
Put simply, it was only because the term of the official village head was determined by higher-ups; otherwise, he would have dropped the "deputy" from his title long ago.
The arrogance he had built up over time made him increasingly overbearing.
