A dilapidated Great Wall pickup truck was driving on a rugged mountain road, bumping non-stop, and a thick cloud of earthy yellow dust rolled up behind the wheels, as if some monster was chasing the car.

The driver was Wang Cheng, the director of the copper mine, with messy hair, dirty body, and dark skin, and a man in his thirties who had lived to be in his forties.

There was a smell on Wang Cheng's body, which was the smell of diesel, gunpowder and flue-cured tobacco mixed together, which was very unpleasant, Yu Meilin wrinkled her nose all the way, and looked disgusted. If she had a mask, she would have put it on as soon as she got in the car.

Li Zi'an was not disgusted, he leaned against the car window and looked at the scenery outside the car window, which was rolling mountains and pine forests, as well as blue sky and white clouds.

"Mr. Yu, this is your first time in the mine, right?" Wang Cheng broke the silence in the car.

Yu Meilin said: "When the Jinguazhai Copper Mine was first established, I came once, and the locals took me to take a look, but I can't remember it clearly, and I don't know what has become of it now. ”

"It's a big change, that mountain is about to be dug bald, and the dog day is not out of the mine, and if it goes on like this, I guess my head will be bald." Wang Cheng sighed, unable to hide the bitter and helpless taste.

Yu Meilin was silent for a while and said, "Mine Chief Wang, tell me the truth, can the Jingua Copper Mine be released?"

"There must be a mine, the instrument will not deceive people, but I don't know where the ore vein is, if you give me another year, I will definitely find the ore vein." Wang Cheng said.

Yu Meilin's face turned green.

Give another year?

Nova's creditors won't give her a year.

Li Zi'an wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say.

The car climbed up a hill and drove a little further into a valley.

There is a village of the grass field tribe in the valley, and the stilted buildings stand at the foot of the mountain, and on the slope of the mountain, the scales and ladders are larger. At this time, it is the time of the meal, and the smoke curling in the village, and the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, there is a unique charm of paradise.

"Mr. Yu, Mr. Li, let's go to the village to eat first, and after dinner, we will go to the mine. Wang Cheng said.

Yu Meilin said: "No need, we ate on the plane, let's go directly to the mine." ”

"But I've arranged it all, you must not have eaten the special game and wild vegetables in the grass field. ”

Yu Meilin frowned: "Go directly to the mine." ”

"That'...... All right. Wang Cheng slammed the accelerator.

The car galloped past the road next to Jinguazhai, and drove four or five kilometers into the mountains to reach the Jingua Copper Mine.

Li Zi'an saw some buildings through the car window, most of them were buckle houses, and there were a few brick houses, and the red brick tiles were not even plastered with plaster. A large crowd of people dressed in grass field costumes gathered in front of a Tieshan gate, seemingly arguing, and shouting could be heard through the car window.

"Mine Chief Wang, what are those people doing around the gate?" asked Li Zi'an.

Wang Cheng smashed his fist on the dashboard and said angrily: "Those are all people from Jinguazhai, a few people came yesterday to ask for money, but I didn't expect so many to come today." ”

"What kind of money did those people come to ask for?" asked Li Zi'an.

"The money for labor, isn't there no money in the mine, if there was one, I would have given it a long time ago, I told them to wait, and I couldn't get the money if they came to make trouble like this." Wang Cheng glanced back at Yu Meilin.

Yu Meilin said coldly: "Don't look at me, there is no money in the company's account." ”

Wang Cheng was slightly stunned, he obviously didn't expect Yu Meilin to answer so directly, and his face also became solemn at this time, the company has no money, and the copper mine does not come out of the mine, and there are people blocking the door here every day to ask for money, what's the matter?

"Mine Chief Wang, how much does the mine owe to those people?" Li Zi'an asked again.

"It's not a lot, it's about more than a million, and the exact number has to be checked to know. Wang Cheng said.

Li Zi'an said: "You go and tell them to get the money tomorrow, and let them all disperse." ”

"Really?" Wang Cheng couldn't believe it, Mr. Yu said that there was no money, Mr. Yu's husband asked people to get the money, and he didn't know who to listen to.

Li Zi'an nodded: "Really, go ahead." ”

"Okay Rat, I'll go right away, I'm so annoyed with those guys. Wang Cheng couldn't wait to push open the car door.

Yu Meilin said, "You wait. ”

Wang Cheng's foot had already poked out of the car door, but he shrank back: "Mr. Yu, what else do you want to explain?"

Yu Meilin said: "You get out of the car first and wait, I'll say a few words to my husband." ”

"Okay. Wang Cheng got out of the car and closed the door.

Yu Meilin looked at Li Zi'an: "Zi'an, I just said very clearly, the company has no money in the account, and is currently applying for a loan, and the bank has not approved it yet, you let people come to get the money tomorrow, what will we give to others?"

Li Zi'an smiled: "I have money, those people are the money to do work, this money can't be relied on, it has to be given to others." ”

"Are you rich?" Yu Meilin smiled bitterly, "Didn't you hear what Mine Chief Wang said just now, that's more than a million, not more than a thousand." ”

"I heard it clearly, I knew it was more than a million. ”

"I believe you have more than 1,000, but where did you get more than 1 million? Don't tell me that you have accumulated more than 1 million yuan by growing vegetables in the mountains over the years. Yu Meilin's eyes were full of doubts.

Li Zi'an said: "I went out of the mountain this time, and I treated two people before and after, and I had more than 2 million in my account when I saw the fortune telling. ”

Yu Meilin said in surprise: "Who gives so much?"

"One is Mu Chuntao's friend, named Fan Rui, and the other is the owner of a casino on Haijing Island introduced by Fan Rui, and the boss directly gave two million. ”

"If you look at a fortune, people will give you two million?" Yu Meilin still didn't believe it.

Li Zi'an was patient: "Do you think I'm a fortune teller on the roadside, look at a few yuan and ten yuan at a time, I am a private custom, high-end service, I also set up a studio for this, I asked Mu Chuntao to help me find customers." ”

Since she asked, let's talk about the studio by the way, and save her from being found out later to explain.

Yu Meilin was silent for a moment before saying, "What is the relationship between you and Mu Chuntao?"

Li Zi'an was inexplicably nervous when he asked this, but he was silent on his face: "It's okay for her to be idle, I'll give her a salary of 50,000 a month and let her help me find customers." ”

"Does she care about this money?" Yu Meilin asked rhetorically.

Li Zi'an said: "In the future, there will be many big people who ask me to see fortune telling, and she also knows those big people through matchmaking." ”

"How long has your studio been established, and you only told me today?" Yu Meilin stared at Li Zi'an, as if she wanted to see through his heart.

"It was only established yesterday, and I'll tell you today, it's not too late, right?"

Yu Meilin also stared at Li Zi'an, as if she was chewing on how many of his words were true and how many were false.

Li Zi'an smiled bitterly: "You asked me a bunch of questions, I'll ask you a question, what is your birthday?"

Yu Meilin was stunned for a moment, and her questioning eyes changed to an embarrassed expression.

has been married for four years, and the children are three years old, and she didn't even tell Li Zi'an about her birthday.

Li Zi'an shrugged his shoulders: "Isn't this right, you don't tell me anything, you only said a few more words to me recently, do you care about what I do?"

"Let's get out of the car. Yu Meilin opened the car door and got out of the car.

Li Zi'an also opened the car door and got out of the car.

At this time, more than a dozen grass field people came this way, all of them were young and middle-aged, probably the main force blocking the door. The leader is burly, dark-skinned, and his face is not very good.

"Mine Chief Wang, if you don't take the money out today, brother, I'm not welcome!" said the leading grass field man menacingly.

Wang Cheng frowned and said: "Three faces, how many times do I have to tell you, don't make trouble, don't make trouble, the company won't give you money, but you have to wait for a while." ”

"Lao Tzu can't wait!" the man known as the Three Faces spat on the ground, "Just today, you will either take the money, or we will seal this broken mine." ”

More grass field people gathered around.

Wang Cheng glanced at Yu Meilin: "Mr. Yu, look at ......"

Yu Meilin said: "Tell them to come and get the money tomorrow morning. ”

Wang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We Mr. Yu said, let you come to get the money tomorrow morning, your money is indispensable, it's all scattered, it's not the same thing to surround it like this." ”

The three looked at Yu Meilin and Li Zi'an: "Who is Mr. Yu?"

Yu Meilin said: "I am. ”

The third minister said: "Okay, let me tell you, you must pay us today, otherwise your mine will be closed!"

Yu Meilin frowned: "I've made it very clear, let you come to get the money tomorrow morning, what else are you going to do?"

"No, we need money now!"

"We don't believe what you say, you've been dragging on for half a year!"

"It's just that none of your words are true. ”

A large group of Caotian people were shouting and angry.

Yu Meilin's brows furrowed even higher, but she didn't quarrel with these Caotian people.

Li Zi'an Yang Sheng said: "Our Mr. Yu is here, saying that he will give you money tomorrow, and he will give you money tomorrow, and there will be no less." How much your salary is, you have to calculate the general ledger, and it will take time to go to the bank to withdraw money, tomorrow morning is already the fastest time. If you continue to make trouble here, we won't be able to work, we won't be able to settle accounts, we won't be able to get the money back, how will we pay you tomorrow?"

"Who are you?" the three glared at Li Zi'an, obviously not believing what he said.

Without waiting for Li Zi'an to answer, Yu Meilin said: "He is my husband, what he says is equivalent to what I say, if you don't believe it, you just guard outside." Zi'an, let's go in. ”

Li Zi'an followed Yu Meilin into the iron gate.

But the group of grass field people still gathered around the door and did not leave.

"I'll transfer the money to you, and you can transfer it to the mine. Li Zi'an said.

Yu Meilin said: "My birthday is August 15. ”

Li Zi'an looked at her in a daze, and wanted to be speechless.
