Financial crisis, big salary cuts, fresh graduates fighting fiercely for a job paying only 1,200 yuan. Fresh graduate Chen Feng couldn't stand the gap and became a loafer at home, smoking and d...
"Yeah, the harvest here is indeed quite good. Don't be so surprised, it's just a little more than yours." Chen Feng took a drag of his cigarette, unable to hide his smile.
"Go to hell! You're only a tiny bit more, I'm the one who's only a tiny bit more!"
"Let me see the goods. You're not kidding me, are you?"
Zheng Ping hurriedly took a drag of his cigarette, tossed the butt aside, and was about to check Chen Feng's goods; he truly couldn't believe it.
They were both gold prospectors, yet the difference between him and Chen Feng was so vast.
He only has 600, while Chen Feng has 16,000. What does that even mean? This damn Feng's change is more than his!
"Look, you don't believe me when I tell you the truth. Let me show you." Chen Feng took the goods out of his bag and showed them to Zheng Ping.
When Zheng Ping saw the goods with his own eyes, he was shocked again. Holding the two bottles in his hand, his eyes widened like bull's eggs.
"Holy crap, this is outrageous! This isn't what you brought in, is it?"
Zheng Ping held the two bottles and muttered to himself.
Chen Feng was amused after hearing this and rolled his eyes at him.
"Bring your sister here, I'm not going to bring any gold here if I'm bored."
"We're both gold prospectors, so why is there such a big difference between us?"
Zheng Ping was dumbfounded when he saw the two bottles of goods, especially the several large pieces of gold.
He thought that if Chen Feng worked hard, two or three thousand a morning would be quite a lot.
Little did he know that poverty would limit his imagination.
"The car's here, let's go." Chen Feng waved to the car, took the two bottles, and tossed them into his bag.
Once the two got into the car, Zheng Ping finally accepted reality: the difference between people can sometimes be greater than the difference between a person and a pig.
No wonder Chen Feng built a house worth over 600,000 yuan. Even if the income is not as good as here in other places, it is enough for him.
They picked up a few more people on the way, and when they returned to the hotel, Li Erchun handed them a small red bag with a lock on it and a key attached.
"Come on, to prevent cross-selling, put the goods in your pockets and lock them up. I'll give them back to you when you leave this afternoon," Li Erchun said, handing each person a red cloth bag.
The reason we had to return it to them in the afternoon was that some gold prospectors had a habit of carrying some gold with them when they were prospecting for it.
They believed that attraction between people of the same sex would bring good luck.
Chen Feng drew number seventy-seven. He casually stuffed the two small bottles into his cloth bag, locked the opening, and pulled out the key.
Everyone was busy stuffing their own goods into their hands, and no one paid attention to others. In addition, everyone was doing their work discreetly, so no one could see how much stuff Chen Feng had in his hands.
The meal was on the hotel table. Everyone handed their cloth bags to Li Erchun, noted down the numbers, and then each person took a box of food and went upstairs.
The boxed lunch includes two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a cup of soup. Anyone who wants more can buy another box.
Back at the hotel, they saw that half of the group had returned. Lin Nian and Huang Fei were back, but Yin Xing was not yet, probably not for a while.
"Let me see what dishes you all have. Are they all the same?" Huang Fei asked curiously, craning his neck as they returned.
"Probably," Chen Feng said, sitting down and opening his lunchbox.
As expected, all the dishes were the same. Chen Feng took a bite, pursed his lips, and shook his head.
The taste was just okay, but it was nowhere near as good as what the uncle made. The portion sizes weren't very large either; they were just enough to eat.
"By the way, how much did you guys find? I found over five hundred! Holy crap, that breaks my record! I've never found over five hundred in one morning before. This place is amazing!" Huang Fei said excitedly.
“I have over six hundred.” Zheng Ping said, showing no excitement whatsoever, and subconsciously glanced at Chen Feng, who was smiling.
"I'm short fifty thousand. I was planning to come back after I made up a thousand, but the bus arrived. Oh well," Lin Nian said with great regret.
"You're really lucky, aren't you? You've made almost a thousand in just one morning. Looks like my brother Feng's gold-digging spree is in jeopardy," Huang Fei teased Chen Feng.
"You really don't know what kind of strength your brother Feng has." Before Chen Feng could speak, Zheng Ping couldn't help but speak first.
"How much did you buy? Over a thousand? That's impressive, Fengzi." Huang Fei said with a smile after taking a sip of his drink.
"A thousand? Poverty limits your imagination. A thousand isn't even a fraction of what he has," Zheng Ping snorted.
"How much? Not even a fraction of that? How is that possible? Don't be ridiculous."
Huang Fei didn't believe it at all. He said that if you said it was a few thousand more, Huang Fei would believe it, after all, Chen Feng had always been very lucky. He was just joking when he said that Chen Feng's position was in jeopardy.
You're saying it's not even a fraction of the total? That's ridiculous. How much money would that be? It couldn't be more than five figures.
"Bullshit? Your Brother Feng made 16,000 in one morning! Do you even know what 16,000 means?!"
“Even five thousand won’t be enough to cover a fraction of his money,” Zheng Ping said, holding his chopsticks.
Upon hearing this, Huang Fei and Lin Nian both widened their eyes in shock, unable to believe it.
"Really?! Sixteen thousand?!" Huang Fei gasped, unable to contain himself.
"So many?" Lin Nian said in return.
"Logically speaking, why are you two so shocked? When we bought the detector last time, didn't everyone in the house say that I sold 170,000 worth of goods in one go?"
To be honest, Chen Feng was quite puzzled. They both knew in advance, so why did they have this expression?
"When did you say that? I didn't hear it," Lin Nian said blankly.
"Holy crap, it really is you! I thought those idiots had mistaken me for someone else, and I was even laughing about it. I never expected that buying a detector would have such a helpful outcome!"
"So, after all this time, I was the idiot all along?!"
Huang Fei belatedly spoke, his mouth agape, his eyes wide with shock.
"Take the young master! Seventeen thousand!"
Zheng Ping was shocked again upon hearing this number, staring wide-eyed at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng stared wide-eyed at the two idiots. The reason he didn't try to hide it was because he had been caught out last time, and he couldn't hide it from them this time either.
Anyway, everyone will find out sooner or later. By some coincidence, we're all family here, so let them know.
He thought they already knew about his income but were just pretending not to, but he didn't expect that these two idiots really didn't know!
It turns out I overestimated their intelligence; they're just two living, breathing geniuses.
"It's alright, bro. Hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold." Chen Feng didn't know what to say anymore, so he lowered his head and started eating.
"No, you really sold 170,000 in one go? Like that time with the silver mine?" Zheng Ping didn't even bother to finish his meal and hurriedly asked.
Looking at Zheng Ping's shocked expression, Chen Feng really wanted to say, "Not just that time, but every single time."
However, considering that people cannot be subjected to too much stimulation at once, he nodded.
