Ancient Factory Connections: How I Became Rich and Raised an Emperor for the Ages

Ning Jinluo was just out of college when her uncle tricked her into inheriting a factory on the brink of bankruptcy, leaving her buried in massive debt. Her boyfriend dumped her for a rich woman, l...

Chapter 29: The Black Water Was Actually Oil!

Chapter 29 Blackwater is actually oil!

Ning Jinli was stunned for a moment.

What's wrong?

I've been busy with my own things these past few days, how did I offend Ning Yao?

"I'd like to ask you what you mean!"

Ning Jinli said as she walked towards the warehouse, "Don't come looking for trouble!"

On the phone, Ning Yao said irritably, "Stop playing dumb with me! My parents and I have been released, but He Kai is still locked up and they won't let anyone visit us!"

Ning Jinli paused in her steps.

Oh, I remember now, it's about the Canglanbi incident from a few days ago.

He Kai and Ning Hai's entire family were arrested and taken to the police station for questioning.

She was so busy that she forgot all about it.

This matter is of great importance, and the perpetrators will definitely be interrogated for a long time. It's not surprising that Ning Yao and Ning Yao's mother were released, but... Ning Hai is a direct accomplice in the theft of the Canglan Jade.

Why were they released too?

Before Ning Jinli could ask, Ning Yao launched into a tirade of anger, “I don’t know what happened. My parents won’t tell me either. All I know is that He Kai stole some things from your factory.”

Ning Jinli scoffed.

Silently scoffing, "That's hardly anything?"

It'll scare you to death if I tell you!

“Ning Jinli, although I don’t know what he stole, he was definitely arrested because you called the police,” Ning Yao continued. “Are you crazy? You got me and my parents locked up for days! What does this have to do with our family?”

Ning Jinli had a headache from the noise. She rubbed her temples and said, "So you called just to take your anger out on me? You'd be better off going to your dad and asking him what they did."

Ning Yao roared, "I won't even hold it against you for dragging my family into this! I order you to go to the police station right now to sign a letter of understanding and get He Kai out!"

Ning Jinli just found it funny.

My cousin has been spoiled since she was little; she even uses this tone when asking for forgiveness.

Besides, how can we forgive the looting of national treasures?

Ning Jinli guessed that the authorities would not disclose the situation before the specific interrogation results were released, so she couldn't tell Ning Yao the truth.

She said directly, "If you make a mistake, you should bear the consequences. Stop yelling at me. If there's nothing important, I'm hanging up. I'm busy."

"No, no, no!" Ning Yao's tone softened considerably. "Cousin... name your price. How much money do you want to forgive He Kai?"

Ning Jinli said helplessly, "This isn't about money."

"I'll give you a million!"

"No, I wouldn't dare take your money. Last time you gave me a factory, it almost ruined me."

Two million!

"..."

"Okay, five million, is that enough?"

"..."

"Ning Jinli, don't be so greedy!"

"..."

Ning Jinli was curious to hear just how much her cousin could raise the price.

Of course, I couldn't possibly agree to any more than that.

Firstly, the case is so serious that there is no possibility of leniency; secondly, Ning Jinli is not short of money at all.

Ning Jinli had already reached the warehouse door. Without saying a word, she listened as her cousin raised the price again and again, her tone changing from anger to pleading.

"Cousin, I beg you, if it really comes to it... I'll talk to my dad and see if he can pay off that 70 million yuan factory loan for you."

It seems Ning Yao really loves He Kai.

These conditions have been offered.

As Ning Jinli opened the warehouse door, she said, "Hey, I'm sorry, I can't help you."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

On the other end, Ning Yao was furious. She grabbed her phone and smashed it to pieces, yelling, "Ning Jinli! I'm not done with you!"

Whoosh—

The warehouse door of the household goods section slowly opened.

A dusty smell wafted over.

Ning Jinli covered her nose and went inside, looking around before finding the small forklift used for moving goods and giving it a try.

It still has power, so it can be turned on.

With this device, you can quickly check what's piling up in the warehouse.

Soon, a mountain of work clothes, work shoes, and work gloves came into view.

"Huh? Good stuff!"

Ning Jinli's eyes lit up. "Isn't this perfect for the people over there to wear? It's breathable and can protect them from injury while they're working. Let me see how many we have!"

She drove her small forklift around the area and roughly estimated that there were about 30,000 to 40,000 sets.

There are more than 60,000 people there, and roughly that number is the labor force.

If it's suitable and sufficient, then send it all over!

Besides these, she then saw a large pile of stainless steel kitchenware, including pots, pans, bowls, and buckets.

Hmm... it can also be used by ordinary people to cook food.

"Huh? There's a gas cylinder too?"

Ning Jinli saw many brand-new gas cylinders in the distance; these were empty cylinders produced by the factory.

As for this kind of thing, she couldn't think of any use for it yet.

So I didn't go and take a look.

In the afternoon, she hired a team of movers to move all the work clothes and stainless steel tools to the large warehouse in the food section.

Unfortunately, the light curtain of the time-space tunnel only covers this part.

Only by moving here can she transmit telepathically.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

She picked up the walkie-talkie in the small warehouse and asked.

Soon, the walkie-talkie crackled to life the excited yet humble voice of a cave guard: “Fairy, we are here.”

"Okay, pay attention, I'm about to deliver something."

"Yes, sir!"

People know how to use clothes, shoes, pots, pans, and buckets without needing to be told.

Without further ado, Ning Jinli quickly teleported over.

By the time I finished all that, it was already quite late.

She hurriedly drove to a mineral research company in the city with a sample that appeared to be petroleum.

The samples were delivered before the other party got off work, and then I rushed to Xinghan Central Hospital without stopping.

Two days ago, Aunt Su underwent a kidney transplant.

The surgery was successful, and the patient will be discharged after a period of hospitalization.

No matter how busy Ning Jinli is these past two days, she still makes time to visit him.

She estimated that the property certificate for the villa would be issued before Aunt Su was discharged from the hospital.

Just after Aunt Su was discharged from the hospital, we took her to the villa, which was a big surprise!

On the other side.

Inside Linxian Village, the villagers were already lining up to receive the supplies delivered by Ning Jinli.

The people who received the clothes were so excited that they burst into tears, holding them in their hands and stroking them again and again.

This was the first time they had ever seen clothes and shoes like these.

The styles were novel, and the quality was even more amazing, a thousand times better than the coarse linen clothes and straw sandals they spun and made themselves!

Moreover, many people couldn't even afford coarse linen clothes, and many were barefoot and barely clothed.

Now we actually have such divine clothing!

After collecting their clothes and shoes, people went to collect their stainless steel kitchenware.

The gleaming pots and pans, and the rice cooker that was half a person tall, once again broadened their horizons.

They used to only be able to use pottery and wooden utensils, and those with slightly better conditions could use porcelain and bronze kitchenware.

These things are big, beautiful, and sturdy; any one of them could be considered a top-quality treasure. I never expected Fairy Jinli to send so many; every household has a share!

After receiving their gifts, everyone went outside the Fairy Cave and knelt down in gratitude, weeping.

As for Xiao Qidi, he specially selected a group of skillful villagers to watch instructional videos on his phone with him.

The video has subtitles.

But none of them could understand it.

On the one hand, the villagers were illiterate, and on the other hand, even if Xiao Qidi was literate, he did not recognize modern Chinese characters.

But it's okay, there are real-person demonstrations in the video.

Even if you don't understand some of the words, you can still learn by following the steps.

Everyone was busy, and the entire Linxian Village was filled with a vibrant atmosphere of energy.

It was getting late.

In the hospital, Ning Jinli had a meal with Aunt Su in the ward.

For the two days leading up to last night's surgery, Aunt Su was mostly in a daze, but she is now fully awake.

"Xiao Li..." Aunt Su said worriedly, "I've had surgery and am in a private room... Sigh, and you still ordered such good nutritional meals for me, how much did that cost?"

Ning Jinli said with a grin, "Don't worry about money, I have money now."

Aunt Su looked worried. "You just graduated, where are you going to earn money for me to spend like this? Did you take out a loan? No, no... I have to be discharged from the hospital right away!"

The more she thought about it, the more distressed she became, wishing she had just collapsed and died on the roadside.

Now it won't be a burden or a drag on Ning Jinli.

"Oh, Aunt Su! Look at this!" Ning Jinli immediately took out her phone and quickly opened her bank account.

No matter how much you talk, nothing beats showing someone your account balance directly.

Aunt Su treated her so well, they depended on each other for ten years, and she raised her with great difficulty. She was too busy to repay her kindness, so there was no need for her to hide it.

Just then, a phone call came in.

It was a mineral research company she contacted before coming to the hospital.

"The results are out so quickly?" Ning Jinli answered the phone.

"Yes, Ms. Ning," the staff member on the other end said, "the sample you sent has been tested and confirmed to be petroleum!"

Ning Jinli felt a surge of excitement rush to her head and jumped up on the spot, startling Aunt Su.

The staff member seemed quite excited, their voice trembling slightly, "Ms. Ning, where did you get the sample?"

Ning Jinli tensed up instantly and asked cautiously, "Is there a problem?"

The other party said, "This is the highest quality oil, which no domestic oil fields can currently produce, and it's extremely difficult to import... so..."

The highest quality oil?

Ning Jinli felt a little dizzy.

sky!

Originally, the plan was just to blast out the groundwater in Linxian Village, but... they ended up discovering a top-quality oil field?

We must definitely develop and utilize it properly in the future!

"So...what?" Ning Jinli continued to ask.
