Yongxing County, more than 200 kilometers south of Hancheng, belongs to the most remote county in Hancheng.

Tongxing Village is the most remote village in Yongxing County.

As expected, this place is indeed a thousand mountains and peaks.

The three of them had lunch casually in the county seat, and then drove to Tongxing Village.

There are more than 40 kilometers out of the county seat to Tongxing Village, and in addition to more than ten kilometers of county roads out of the county, the rest are all simple roads.

It is estimated that there are not many villages along this road, so I didn't pay much attention to it. The whole road was potholed and there were cave-ins in some places.

What's worse is that when I went out in the morning, it was fine, and it rained heavily in the morning. It's okay on the county road, but when I leave the county road and get to this adobe road, it's uncomfortable.

However, such a road is nothing for Bloom, just two people in the car are bumped up.

Especially Zhang Sheng, he actually got motion sickness, and he started to get motion sickness when he left Hancheng, and he was already lying on the car door as if he was going to die, and he didn't care about the rain outside, and even his stomach almost vomited.

He was sitting in the passenger seat, Ye Qingqing was sitting in the back alone, and when he saw him vomit like that, he couldn't help frowning secretly.

As the distance gets closer and the mountains get higher, the improvised road becomes more and more intimidating.

The whole highway is going around a mountain, and sometimes Leng Buding thinks that there is no road in front of him, which scares Zhang Shengyi......

Fortunately, there is no need to worry about the blooming driving skills, and this painful torture finally ended after an hour.

Tongxing Village is actually a small village, with about 100 households. Just look at their buildings and tell that they belong to a minority.

Looking at the quaint buildings in the village, it seems that they have stepped into another world.

The Tongxing Iron Mine is six kilometers north of Tongxing Village, where the iron ore headquarters is located.

An improvised road runs from the village to the iron ore headquarters.

When they came to the entrance of the village, they saw Lin Jiansheng standing under a cypress tree from a distance, waving at them.

Indeed, along the way, they did not encounter a single car, if there were any cars encountered, it was a few donkey carts and motorcycles.

So as soon as Lin Jiansheng saw the Buick car, he could conclude that Ye Qingqing was here.

After parking in full bloom, Lin Jiansheng got into the car and said: "Chairman, don't enter the village, go directly from this simple road......

Obviously, the villagers in the village were begging for wages, and if they knew that Ye Qingqing and the others were coming, they would probably stop their car.

According to Lin Jiansheng's instructions, Sheng Hua turned to a fork in the road on the right. Sure enough, when he drove more than 100 meters, someone behind him shouted: "Someone from the iron mine is coming, it must be their real boss......

Immediately, I saw more than a dozen people striding after me.

In their hands, these people were still holding some farm tools, including fences, three-toothed rakes, pickaxes, flat poles, and so on.

Lin Jiansheng was indeed a little nervous, and hurriedly said, "Master, hurry up, don't let them catch up." ”

Sheng Kai shouted, "Sit tight." ”

As soon as you step on the accelerator, the car immediately leaps forward.

Zhang Sheng, who had originally collapsed, immediately screamed: "Dao Ye's life...... It's almost gone......"

Ye Qingqing grabbed the handle on the door and said, "Mr. Lin, the driver is the president of the Golden Leaf Company, and he is our shareholder." A 20% stake in the mine is his. ”

Lin Jiansheng hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I thought it was the chairman's driver...... Mr. Sheng is good ......"

Sheng Kai smiled indifferently and said, "I'm the chairman's driver, you're right." ”

Although the people in the mountain village are fast, they can't catch up with the car, not to mention that Sheng Kai is now driving this Buick car as a tank.

The twelve-mile road is just around the corner.

From a distance, the row of prefabricated houses on the construction site in front of it must be the headquarters of the iron mine.

In front of us, an open field is home to several excavators, trucks, tanker trucks and roadheaders. There was also a group of people standing outside, all in gray overalls, presumably employees of the iron mine.

Seeing a car coming, this group of people brushed and looked over.

It seems that they already knew that someone would come today, so they waited outside.

Entered an open place, parked the car, got out of the car, opened the back door, stretched out his hand to help Ye Qingqing, who was upside down, and asked softly, "Can you stand it?"

Ye Qingqing, who never gets motion sickness, is also a little chest tightness and nausea, her whole body is weak, her mind is dizzy, and her face is a little pale. She shook her head lightly and said, "It's okay." ”

Lin Jiansheng stepped forward and said, "Chairman, Mr. Sheng, you go to the upstairs office to rest for a while." ”

Sheng Kai nodded and said, "Call someone to help this Taoist master down and find him a place to rest." ”

Lin Jiansheng glanced at Zhang Sheng lying on the car door like a dead dog in surprise, and didn't understand why Ye Qingqing and Sheng Kai came to bring a Taoist priest.

If you can't find a vein, do you want a Taoist priest to come and see Feng Shui?

He raised his hand and waved it, and shouted, "Xiao Diao, Cheng Er, you come and help this Taoist master to my dormitory to rest and pour him some hot water." ”

He didn't know Zhang Sheng's identity, but Zhang Sheng came with Ye Qingqing and Sheng Kai, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he also respected Daoye.

Sheng Kai and Ye Qingqing followed Lin Jiansheng to the office, and the two took a look, the office was very simple, and it was full of various tools.

Hard hats, sledgehammers, drills, miner's lamps......

It's a mess, and there's a weird smell.

The tables and chairs looked covered in a thick layer of dust. Ye Qingqing originally had a slight habit of cleanliness, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help frowning.

"I'm sorry, chairman, the conditions here are poor, and there are not enough houses, so these things are piled up here......"

Lin Jiansheng saw that Ye Qingqing was a little disgusted, and explained with some embarrassment.

Ye Qingqing endured the discomfort in his heart: "It's okay......"

Lin Jiansheng hurriedly went to find a few newspapers, put them on a chair, and said, "Please ...... the chairman."

Ye Qingqing thought that they could stay here for more than two years in such an environment, what qualifications did they have to find fault here? Besides, this was still her iron mine, if there was another eldest lady's shelf, it would only make these people who worked hard for her feel cold.

Thinking of this, she calmly picked up the newspapers, sat down, and said, "I'm not so delicate, you can work here, and so can I." ”

Lin Jiansheng's eyes flickered, and he went to move another chair for Sheng Kai, and then said, "Chairman, Mr. Sheng, you can rest for a while." It might be a little messy outside, don't come out, I'll deal with it. We'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

Ye Qingqing was indeed weak now, and he didn't have any energy, so he nodded and said, "Then it's hard for you." ”

Lin Jiansheng smiled innocently: "I'm used to it." ”

Ye Qingqing looked at his departing back, and secretly thought in his heart: "Grandpa's vision is really good, this person is using it correctly." ”

A short time later, a woman in her forties came in, this person had a colorful headscarf wrapped around her head and was wearing the clothes of ethnic minorities, and she knew at a glance that she was a villager from Tongxingzhai.

She carried a hot water kettle in one hand and a small and delicate bamboo basket in the other, which contained several teacups made of bamboo and an antique purple sand teapot.

"My name is Shui Lingzhi and I am a worker here. Mr. Lin asked me to make tea for you......"

The woman was not tall, a little fat, and her skin was a little dark, but when she smiled, she showed two rows of white teeth, which looked very pleasing.

Ye Qingqing asked in surprise: "There are still female workers in the iron mine?"

While placing the bamboo teacup, Shui Lingzhi took out the teapot from the basket, took out a bamboo tube, picked out a pinch of tea leaves from it, and then poured water from the kettle to make tea.

She is very skillful in her movements, and she obviously does this regularly.

"We have a few female workers, all of whom are from Tongxingzhai. These big men go to work in the mines, and someone has to cook and do laundry for them, and that's what we do. ”

She said with a smile as she did her job.

Ye Qingqing realized that they were workers, but they were not the kind of people who went to the mine, but did logistics.

Also, when men go to the mines, they still need women to ensure logistics.

After making the tea, she respectfully brought the teacup to Ye Qingqing and Sheng Kai, and said, "Try our tea here, this is wild tea picked in the mountains, see if you are used to drinking it?"

The two of them reached out to take it, and before they could get close to their noses, they smelled a cool fragrance of tea, which entered their lungs along the trachea, making them feel relaxed and happy.

Sheng Kai didn't have much research on tea, but when he smelled this fragrance, he felt comfortable in his heart.

Ye Qingqing has been in contact with good tea, after all, Ye Tianhong is the chairman of the Chiba Group, and there must be good tea at home to entertain guests.

So as soon as she smelled the fragrance of this tea, she knew that it was indeed a good tea.

In particular, there is a hint of bamboo fragrance in the tea aroma, which has a unique flavor.

The tea was golden orange, and the tea mist was thick, like light smoke shrouded in the mouth of the cup, and she couldn't help but praise it: "Good tea." ”

I took a sip gently, and a slightly bitter sweet fragrance flowed down my throat, leaving a fragrant aftertaste.

Shui Lingzhi looked at Ye Qingqing and seemed to be in a daze. Hearing Ye Qingqing speak, she smiled and said, "Miss is such a handsome person, I can't find you like you in this Tongxing Village." ”

Ye Qingqing was stunned, she was still talking about tea just now, how could she talk about her well?

Just then, there was a noise outside. A man with a rough voice shouted, "I know your real boss is here, why are you hiding from us when you're here?"

"Yes, since you're here, why don't you come out? Are you bringing money, three months' salary, it's going to be paid today, right?"

"That's our hard-earned money, and my wife is still waiting for this money to go to the hospital to buy medicine......"

"If we don't pay any more, we will dismantle these cars and sell them for scrap iron......

"Also, you threw all the excavated soil into the Qingzhu ditch, and when it rained, the mud and sand washed into the rain stream, and you couldn't even drink clean water, so you had to walk several miles to fetch water...... If you don't recover quickly, you don't want to start work again!"

"That is, we can't just patronize and get rich, and we don't care if we live or die......"

The shouting crowd increased, and it seemed that the group of people had come from the village with their car.

Sheng Kai and Ye Qingqing listened to the shouts outside, a little restless.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, since the chairman is here, he will definitely give you an explanation. The chairman rushed over from Hancheng, sat in the car for a few hours, and just got here and hasn't adjusted yet, everyone give some time, let the chairman rest first, tomorrow, tomorrow will give you an answer, okay?"

This is Lin Jiansheng's voice.

"Why tomorrow? How many times have you delayed, not a single one counts, what, you still want to fool us, and wait until the evening when you slip away?"

"I think it's that if your chairman doesn't come out to speak today, we won't leave......"

There always seemed to be a few "" in it leading the shouting.

Shui Lingzhi heard the shouting outside, and saw Ye Qingqing's reaction, she asked suspiciously, "You guys...... Is it the chairman?"

Ye Qingqing nodded and said, "I am the chairman of the Golden Leaf Company and the boss of this iron mine. ”

Shui Lingzhi's face twitched, and he said, "You guys...... Chairman, we haven't paid our salaries for three months, and the big guys are waiting for this money to be used urgently. My baby is about to start school, so I pointed to receiving a salary to pay his tuition. ”

Ye Qingqing was silent, now that the Golden Leaf Restaurant has just improved, there is not much money on the books. Moreover, this iron mine belongs to her and Bloom, and she has no reason to embezzle it from the books of the Golden Leaf Company.

So looking at Shui Lingzhi's hopeful expression, she couldn't bear to say that she had no money, nor did she dare to tell lies to deceive her, so she didn't know what to say.

Sheng Kai suddenly said: "Aunt Shui, we are here to solve these problems, you believe us, since we are here, we will not care." ”

Shui Lingzhi's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "That's good, if that's the case, the people in our village will be grateful to you." ”

At this time, the noise outside became more and more fierce, Lin Jiansheng's voice was muffled by their voices, and someone shouted: "They must be upstairs, we rush up, we must ask for an explanation today." ”

"yes, rush up ......"

"Let's go to the ...... together"

Hearing this, Sheng Kai knew that the situation below had gotten out of control.

He said to Ye Qingqing: "You stay here and don't move, I'll take a look." ”

Without waiting for Ye Qingqing to express his position, he walked out and looked down from the guardrail.
