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...
The driver glanced at Qi Minglin with some surprise, but didn't dare to say anything more.
He even began to suspect that Qi Minglin might have known Chen Feng before, that they were close... or that they had some other kind of relationship.
If it were anyone else, Qi Minglin would probably have made him pinch her already. Would he let you keep slapping her? Wow.
After all, the last person who smoked in this car was forced to put it out before they could even take a puff.
It could be said that Chen Feng was the first person to smoke in this car.
They soon arrived at the service area. Everyone rested and used the restroom. Qi Minglin didn't want to eat fast food anymore, so she decided to order some dishes directly.
"What do you want to eat?" Qi Minglin asked Chen Feng, looking at the signboard.
"Just a boiled sliced pork will do," Chen Feng said after glancing at the menu.
"One slice of meat, one egg with chives, one stir-fried pork slices, one cold dish, and five bowls of rice." Qi Minglin ordered and then found a place to sit down.
Li Guanghao walked over, also intending to get a bite.
"What dishes did you order?" Li Guanghao asked as he sat down.
"Chives and eggs, your favorite," Qi Minglin said with a smile.
"Okay, this dish is enough for me." Li Guanghao laughed.
The dishes were served quickly. Everyone was starving and their stomachs were practically sticking to their backs. The five of them ate four dishes, which were all eaten clean.
"As you get older, you should eat less, otherwise it will be hard to digest," Li Guanghao said, putting down his chopsticks and wiping his mouth.
"Dude, you have indigestion, yet you still ate three bowls of rice and almost a whole plate of chives and eggs?"
"Your digestion is pretty good. Normally, let alone older people, even I have trouble eating this much," Chen Feng said with a grin.
"Haha." The group laughed and stood up to leave.
"We'll go straight into the mountains without stopping. You'll be in command soon. Have you thought about how you're going to command?" Qi Minglin asked Chen Feng.
"You'll see when we get there," Chen Feng said, lighting a cigarette.
Everyone got into the car, and more than two hours later, they arrived in the territory of Pingcun City.
"In ten minutes, you'll see where we're driving our first stake," Qi Minglin told Chen Feng.
"Does this mean we've entered the same area you were in back then?" Chen Feng asked, looking out the window.
"I guess so, it's on the edge," Qi Minglin said.
"Okay, stop the car, let me check the situation," Chen Feng said.
"We haven't reached the area we surveyed yet," Qi Minglin reminded her.
"No need, this is fine." Chen Feng shook his head and said. The driver glanced at Qi Minglin and saw her nod slightly, so he stopped the car.
When the rest of the staff saw Qi Minglin stop, they all stopped as well, their eyes fixed on Chen Feng.
Chen Feng got out of the car, opened the system, and seemingly browsed aimlessly, but in reality he was checking the system's feedback.
"What did you figure out?" Qi Minglin asked from beside him.
Chen Feng didn't say anything, but picked up a handful of dirt from the ground and rubbed it.
"Get in the car, let's drive a little further." Chen Feng shook off the dust and clapped his hands.
Qi Minglin waved her hand, and everyone got into the car and followed behind her.
"How far are we going this time?" the driver asked Chen Feng.
“Just keep driving forward. I’ll tell you to stop, so you stop; I’ll tell you to go, so you go,” Chen Feng replied.
"Okay." The driver nodded.
After the car had traveled about five or six hundred meters, Chen Feng signaled to stop again.
Chen Feng opened the car door and got out. The system notification sounded, but after looking closely, he found that the element content was very low, which was not the rare earth mine he was looking for.
He looked around seriously, and before the people in the cars behind him could get off, Chen Feng had already gone back into his car.
"Drive further ahead."
Although the driver didn't quite understand Chen Feng's behavior, he was just a driver. "You're the boss now. As long as you don't let me drive off the cliff, you can decide where we go."
"What kind of detection method is this? Don't you use instruments to test the content or try digging it out? You're just relying on the naked eye?" Qi Minglin asked, puzzled.
"This thing is all about fate. When the time is right and the feeling comes, it will happen naturally. There's no need for testing," Chen Feng said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Qi Minglin's face showed a look of incomprehension but respect.
Anyway, in Pingcun City, you're in charge. You can do whatever you want.
Even if you're going to hold a ritual tomorrow, I won't care. I'll even have to buy you some yellow paper.
"Stop the car." Chen Feng patted the driver's seat, and the driver stopped upon hearing this.
Chen Feng got out of the car, looked around, picked up a small shovel, dug a hole in the ground, and then picked up some soil and smelled it.
Qi Minglin looked at Chen Feng with a puzzled expression.
Are you some kind of human detector, with a nose better than any machine? How could you possibly smell anything?
"You can smell the rare earth element?" Qi Minglin asked, puzzled.
"Um…"
Chen Feng sniffed carefully and rubbed the soil on the ground.
"A dog just peed here, and it smells like dog urine."
"Oh dear, go wash your hands, bro." Qi Minglin couldn't bear to look at him anymore.
Li Chunlai brought Chen Feng a bottle of mineral water. Chen Feng rinsed his hands and got back into the car.
"Keep driving forward."
The car had traveled about seven or eight hundred meters when Chen Feng gently patted the seat. Without Chen Feng saying anything, the driver knew that it was time to stop again.
After getting out of the car, Chen Feng kicked the dirt on the ground and looked out at the distant mountains.
They looked like they were enjoying the scenery and sightseeing.
His repeated actions left the staff behind him full of doubts.
At first, they would come out and accompany them for a while, but now they simply don't get out of the car at all.
Getting off the bus is no use; this guy just glances at the bus and then it's time to move again.
"What is he doing? Is he on a publicly funded trip?"
"I don't know. He didn't test or look at anything. He just grabbed some dirt from the ground. How could he possibly smell anything?"
"It's just making a fuss, like it's a joke."
"I feel like we're going to waste some more time."
"Seriously, nobody would believe this guy. Isn't this just a complete scam?"
Li Guanghao got out of the car and walked to Chen Feng's side, unable to resist asking, "Did you find anything?"
"No, I'm still looking for my destiny. I feel like it's not meant to be yet," Chen Feng said, looking at the distant mountains.
"Then why don't you keep an eye on it first, and I'll take some men to explore it more thoroughly?" Li Guanghao asked tentatively.
He felt that wandering around like this wasn't going to work, and that he might as well lead a group of people to try their luck. He couldn't expect everyone to accompany Chen Feng in his search for love.
"There's no need for that. It's a waste of time to investigate. Just wait for my news. You'll all be busy then." Chen Feng patted his shoulder and got back into the car.
Seeing this, Li Guanghao had no choice but to sigh and return to his car.
Now that command is in Chen Feng's hands, whatever he wants to do, he should at least discuss it with Chen Feng first. If Chen Feng disagrees, there's nothing he can do.
