I'm Just Panning for Gold, What Does the Gold Price Drop Have to Do with Me?

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...

Chapter 482 Looking at the sea

"If the machine gets lost and someone else comes looking for it, who can take responsibility for that?"

"You'd better call Chen Feng right away. If he doesn't come and give his approval, even if the Emperor himself came, he couldn't take this machine away." Huang Fei didn't listen to him at all.

"If Chen Feng doesn't answer the phone, how am I supposed to find him? Can't I just sign and put my fingerprint on it?" Xu Guang said angrily.

"Who do I know you? You're just going to sign this? What good is that kind of thing?"

"As for where Chen Feng went, how would I know? I heard he went to another city. Let's wait until he comes back," Huang Fei said casually.

Upon hearing this, Xu Guang almost choked. He was at the mine yesterday, and today he's off to another place? You're kidding me.

Moreover, he could already hear the roar of his own machine. If Chen Feng continued to blast it, he wouldn't have any left; it would all be scrap.

"Besides Chen Feng, is there no other person in charge of this mine who can sign this document?"

"Can't you just sign it? As the person in charge, can't you even have a say in this?" Xu Guang asked angrily.

"Who told you I was in charge?" Huang Fei said matter-of-factly.

"So what's your position?" Xu Guang asked, puzzled.

"Me? A warm-hearted villager!" Huang Fei said proudly, hands on his hips.

"Go to hell!" Xu Guang broke down immediately upon hearing this.

You've been rambling on and on like some kind of leader, and now you're telling me you're just a villager, not even a miner? Are you out of your mind?

"Where are the other managers at your mine? Call one of them out here, I want to talk to him!" Xu Guang shouted, pointing inside.

"No, don't waste your energy. It's full of miners, there's no one in charge. No one's word matters except Chen Feng."

"Actually, I suggest you sue him. Seriously, I've disliked him for a long time too," Huang Fei said slyly.

Xu Guang was utterly furious when he heard this.

You think he doesn't want to sue? A lawsuit like this, from the start to winning the case to the enforcement, can take at least two years to be resolved!

Two years from now, what use will that pile of scrap metal be to him? He might as well just sell it as junk and save himself the trouble of hauling it back.

"When exactly will your boss be back? Can you give me a definite answer so I can come back again?" Xu Guang finally gave in and asked in a more conciliatory manner.

"I don't know, you should ask him. He's always disappearing without a trace, so who knows?"

It's perfectly normal that Huang Fei knew nothing when asked; what could a well-meaning villager possibly know?

"Okay, okay, then please wait for him to come back and have him call me back, okay? I'll wait for him here," Xu Guang said.

"Okay, I will definitely pass on that message."

Although that's what he said, judging from Huang Fei's nonchalant attitude, Xu Guang didn't think he would actually relay the message.

"Damn it, let's go." Xu Guang cursed under his breath and had no choice but to lead his men away.

Don't ask him why he didn't forcibly take them away. There were seven or eight people standing behind Huang Fei, all of them eyeing him menacingly. That wasn't a good sign.

If he dares to take a single step today, those people probably won't show any mercy, not to mention there are dozens of others in the mine.

After Xu Guang left, he went to Xiahou's office immediately and explained the situation to him.

“He confiscated my machine and now he won’t answer my calls. It’s obvious he’s trying to take it for himself. Could you make a call for me and tell him?”

"I, Xu Guang, admit defeat. Fine, I'll leave," Xu Guang sighed.

"Let me make a call and ask for you, sigh." Considering their long-standing relationship, Xiahou had no choice but to bite the bullet and make a call.

"Beep beep beep..."

A minute later, Xiahou shook his head and put down his phone.

"The phone is ringing, but no one is answering."

"Damn it, what do we do now!" Xu Guang said with a major headache. Could it be that the machine worth more than 20 million yuan was just going to be given to Chen Feng like this?

"If you don't like it, then sue him," Xiahou said helplessly.

Xu Guang: "..."

He's about to explode, he's absolutely furious! What kind of mess is this?!

This was the first time a billionaire like him had felt so helpless.

He suddenly remembered what Li Er had said.

Could it be that my fate is so different from his that I am no match for him at all?

Thinking of what Li Er would say next, Xu Guang gritted his teeth, got up and left the office.

He was truly afraid that the longer he lingered here, the deeper he would sink, so this time he chose to listen to Li Er.

As for the machine, give it to me if you want, I, Xu Guang, admit defeat today.

Actually, there were others in the village who were also panicking, namely Li Laoqi and his gang.

They thought that once Xu Guang arrived, he could defeat Chen Feng and seize their land.

To their utter surprise, even a big boss like Xu Guang couldn't beat Chen Feng, leaving them completely dumbfounded.

"What do we do now? Chen Feng has won and can continue mining, but why isn't he asking us to seize the land?"

"He's not really going to abandon us, is he? What are we going to do?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Let's go beg Chen Feng. I'd accept even half the price right now."

"I'm begging Chen Feng. I went there all morning, but he's not home. I don't know when he'll be back. What am I going to do?"

Li Laoqi and his gang gathered together, sighing and filled with fear.

It's really not going to work now; there's no way to beg for mercy, they're not even home.

"Let's wait until he gets back. What can we do now? Sigh." Old Li sighed, filled with regret. If only he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have done it in the first place.

In fact, Huang Fei did not lie to Xu Guang about one thing: Chen Feng did leave early in the morning, driving away from the village in a Porsche with Xia Yingying.

Their destination was the seaside.

Chen Feng had promised Xia Yingying that he would take her to see the sea, so as soon as things were over, the two of them immediately started a road trip.

"Is this really going to work? Xu Guang might be up to no good, right? Should we stay home for a few more days?" Xia Yingying asked with some concern.

"It's alright. Xu Guang is out of options. Xiahou, his biggest backer, doesn't even dare to look at me anymore. What else can Xu Guang do?"

"I guess he was just angry for a moment. He really thinks he can come and go as he pleases? It's not that easy."

"Even if a tiger comes, you'd better leave me a tiger penis first," Chen Feng snorted, driving the car.

"You're such a bandit! You just confiscated over 20 million worth of goods like that. Most people wouldn't dare to accept that and would be hoping Xu Guang would leave as soon as possible," Xia Yingying said with a laugh.

"Can I be an ordinary person? I'm from Class Two," Chen Feng said with a smile, lighting a cigarette.

"By the way, I saw online that the beach we're going to this time is going to be packed with people, like dumplings in a pot. It's going to be super crowded, isn't it?" Xia Yingying said excitedly.
