Bai Wei shouted loudly, and Chen Jian was not to be outdone. The two of them kept shouting and yelling, but I couldn't hear the rest of what they were saying.

I quickly walked over to Chen Jian's side. When Chen Jian saw me, he became even more confident and glared at Bai Wei.

"Even if we found it, what does it have to do with you? Mr. Bai, have you gotten used to being fed handouts? Let me tell you, Brother Sihai already said that if you want to survive on this island, you have to take action and find your own food. We're just pitying you and occasionally helping you out, so why are you still going on and on?"

After hearing Chen Jian's words, Bai Wei gritted his teeth, looked at Chen Jian, and kicked the fence at Chen Jian's door hard.

"Hey, have you all grown up now? Don't you know which way is up? In a place where no one claims it, whatever is found can be divided up by everyone. You think you can just disagree like that?"

I couldn't help but laugh as Bai Wei's explanation seemed to make more and more sense.

"Mr. Bai, are you still dreaming after your nap? You're right, in a place like this, all resources are shared. But if you can find that cave, we have no problem with where you go. But you can't just shove our things without any explanation, can you? That's completely unreasonable."

Bai Wei was still somewhat afraid of me. After hearing what I said, he gave a cold laugh and then turned to look at the other colleagues around him.

"What did we discuss just now? Why are you all chickening out now that Zhao Sihai is here? Didn't you just say that we all had a share of this jade? You even saw the quality. If we could really find it, you could live a life of luxury even if you went back to the city. What a bunch of cowards! Why are you all so quiet now?"

After Bai Wei finished speaking, a male colleague immediately stood next to him and looked at me with a slightly evasive gaze, but he quickly cleared his throat.

“Brother Sihai, I think President Bai is right. Although we didn’t find this jade mine, we’re together now. As the saying goes, we share blessings and hardships. We’ve already shared the hardships together, so don’t you want to share the good fortune?”

Seeing that one of the men had started persuading me, some of my male colleagues immediately stood behind Bai Wei and looked at me.

It seems they want an explanation.

I sneered inwardly. These people were really pushing their luck. They weren't like this when they were following me around, begging me to build them houses and give them food.

They can now survive on this deserted island. Although it's impossible to find meat down the mountain all the time, the wolf meat we stored some time ago should be enough for them to eat for a while.

In addition, we also caught a brown bear, and under our guidance, they learned which wild vegetables are edible. The food problem has been completely solved, and they are now preparing to start construction on their houses.

Even with Chen Jian and my help, they should be able to build a house, albeit with some stumbling and difficulty.

So it seems they really don't need us anymore.

Looking at these people, I couldn't help but sigh. They really are insatiable; no matter how good I am to them, it's no use.

I cleared my throat, thinking about dating and trying to reason with them, but then I heard Wang Ping's cold laughter behind me.

"Aren't you a bunch of ingrates? That jade mine was discovered by Chen Jian and Sihai. If they agree to give it to you, it's a favor from them. If they don't agree to give it to you, what right do you have to come here and forcibly seize it?"

As soon as I turned my head, I saw Wang Ping with a dark face, walking towards us step by step with an imposing aura.

Bai Wei noticed that Wang Ping's eyes darted around a few times. Wang Ping had initially followed him, and when they were first stranded on the deserted island, Wang Ping was Bai Wei's henchman. No matter what Bai Wei ordered, Wang Ping would fight to the death.

But last time, Wang Ping risked his life to find food for Bai Wei and the others, and broke his leg. Not only did Bai Wei and the others not try to help him, they also abandoned him in his hut like a dead man. If Chen Jian and I hadn't come back in time to save Wang Ping's life, he would probably be buried somewhere by now, used as fertilizer for trees.

Therefore, I believe that even if Bai Wei is a black-hearted person, he must have been deeply moved when he saw Wang Ping at this moment.

Moreover, with Wang Ping, Chen Jian, and me together, we still hold the advantage in the current situation, even though we are outnumbered.

If Bai Wei is a reasonable person, he should understand that continuing to argue with us will not do him any good.

"Manager Wang, that's not what you're saying right now, is it? Of course we know that Brother Sihai and Chen Jian found this jade mine. We didn't intend to keep it all to ourselves, but sharing some wouldn't be too much, would it? We're not taking much. You see, we're all stranded on this deserted island. We're having trouble with food and clothing, but we'll eventually have to go back to the city. Are we just going to let all the hardships we've endured here go to waste? Since we were able to find this jade mine, why hide it like this? Why not share it with everyone? That way, we'll have something to look forward to."

I looked at this male colleague and couldn't help but grit my teeth.

I'm truly a case of "one is influenced by one's company." The longer they spend with Bai Wei, the more vividly they mimic his scoundrel-like behavior becomes.

"What, you have a problem with that? If you have a problem, come and fight me one-on-one. If you can knock me to the ground, I'll give you not only this jade stone, but the entire jade mine. Come on!"

Chen Jian, who has the most short temper, immediately exploded when he heard his male colleague being so unreasonable and aggressive.

She stood excitedly in front of me, about to jump over the fence and start a fight with my male colleague.

Wang Ping grabbed Chen Jian.

“What’s the point of arguing with people like them? Let’s go back to dinner. We’ve stewed fish for Xu Wei, and we can eat the pickled vegetables we made before. Secretary Xiao even put some shrimp powder in the pickled vegetables. I’ve tasted them, and they taste really good. There’s absolutely no need to waste our breath on people like them.”

As Wang Ping spoke, he pulled me and Chen Jian back to our treehouse.

As he was about to enter, Wang Ping glanced back at Bai Wei and his group.

“This deserted island has plenty of good stuff, not just that jade mine, but also a gold mine. If you’re lucky, you can go and look for it. But if you’re looking for our help, don’t even think about it.”

Chen Jian was taken aback when he heard Wang Ping say that, but then his face lit up with joy: "Brother Wang Ping, is this true?"

Wang Ping glared at Chen Jian, pulled him into the house, and whispered, "You actually believed their lies? You're obsessed with money, aren't you?"
