Chapter 92: It couldn't be more coincidental
Led by Wu Guoqiang, the group came to the factory. The workers inside were busy walking around and no one had time to say hello.
Qi Xu also discovered that the workers in the factory had somewhat empty eyes, and looked a bit like zombies.
Both she and Mr. Tian were keenly aware of the strange expressions of the workers. They looked at each other and decided to remain calm.
In any case, the three of them learned about the entire production line under the leadership of Wu Guoqiang.
The first step is to select the goods and separate the good quality ones from the bad ones. Then the large pieces of material are made into large items such as bracelets or pendants, and the remaining small pieces are all put into the machine to make beads.
But everyone's eyes are only on work, and no one wants to be lazy.
However, as they gradually went deeper into the factory, they found that their mood became more and more depressed.
Sure enough, during the last processing step, Qi Xu saw the black evil spirit coming in and out, and it even lingered over the heads of different workers.
Qi Xu dared to bet that this evil aura was definitely caused by the Great Devil.
In this mining area, the workers all make money through their labor, and they all have some negative energy such as resentment or sadness.
These are exactly the kinds of negative energies that the Great Devil needs. From this point of view, this crystal mine might be the Great Devil's base.
Qi Xu thought about it and immediately became extremely alert. He looked around faster and his walking speed slowed down.
When Jiang Hongyi saw her slowing down, he immediately knew that there must be something strange going on in the factory. He stayed behind Qi Xu and Mr. Tian the whole time, staying behind them safely like a pack of wolves.
"Manager Wu, I'd like to ask, if we only buy raw stones from here without processing them, will we be able to save some processing fees?"
As a result, Wu Guoqiang's expression suddenly turned long, and even his voice became cold. "Sorry, we only sell finished products. We don't sell raw stones fresh from the mine."
"You want the raw stones, but I'm sorry I can't keep you company."
Qi Xu didn't expect that just by wanting to test it out, he would find out the key point.
"Haha, we still have to do this business. It's because our family is in the jade business and we want to expand the scale of the family business. That's why I want to develop the crystal industry."
"We have the processing plants at home, we just lack the raw crystals. Can you give us some leeway?"
Qi Xu was still thinking about whether he could try to seize the opportunity and took the initiative to explain.
"No, no, no, there's no possibility at all. Even if you were introduced by Brother Jie, I can't do anything about it. These conditions were set by the leader, and I can't change them just because I say so."
Wu Guoqiang was obviously a little embarrassed. Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the right to do so.
Of course, the three of them understood the meaning of his words and did not continue to negotiate for conditions.
"Well, you introduce us to your leader, and we'll go negotiate on our own to see if there's any possibility. If we succeed in negotiating the deal, it will also be thanks to you, Manager Wu. Don't you agree?"
Qi Xu didn't want to give up any opportunity. She still wanted to find out more about who set such an outrageous rule.
"Well... okay, since you're so sincere, I'll report it and see what the leader thinks."
Wu Guoqiang thought for several seconds and finally decided to report the matter.
After all, it is precisely because of such bizarre requirements that the mine's income has declined, and now it is even difficult to pay the workers' wages.
Wu Guoqiang went to the office to report, and Qi Xu and the other two began to walk around the mine to see if there would be any unexpected discoveries.
Soon, Qi Xu saw a very familiar figure in a trance.
"Tong Xiuyuan?"
This sound made Tong Xiuyuan, who was sorting crystal raw stones in front, look up in surprise.
But what puzzled her was that she didn't recognize any of the three people in front of her. "Do you know me?"
"Oh, I used to work at the fork in the road market near your hometown. I haven't seen you for a long time. So you came here to work in the mine."
Qi Xu finished his half-truthful words and then began to show concern. "How is the salary at the mine? I see that sorting rough stones is also a hard and tiring job."
"Well, what else can I do? It's enough for me to make a living. It's a physical job. If I didn't have such strength and good eyesight, I wouldn't be assigned here to sort the rough stones."
Tong Xiuyuan answered, but her hands didn't slow down at all.
"How about this, we have a job in our store that's pretty easy. If you have any ideas, come find me at the new jewelry store in town."
Qi Xu looked at Tong Xiuyuan's tanned appearance and felt a little sorry for her. Her skin was not fair before, but the normal yellow skin of Asians.
Look at him now, Tong Xiuyuan was tanned dark by the sun, and from a distance he looked like a real young man.
"Here you are, the leader wants to talk to you, please follow me."
Wu Guoqiang searched for several minutes before finding the three of them, and quickly asked them to go to the leader's office.
However, the closer everyone got to the office, the more eerie it felt, and they couldn't help but shiver.
Qi Xu's hair stood on end. "Why is your leader's office so far inside? There's no sunlight coming in here."
Qi Xu hugged his arms and rubbed them to keep himself warm, and asked a question casually.
"Our leader is afraid of heat, and his office used to face the sun. Suddenly one day he got furious and asked us to move his office to the innermost part."
After walking a few steps, he arrived at the office door. Wu Guoqiang knocked on the door and waited until he heard the sound of "come in" from inside before he dared to open the door.
As Qi Xu and others entered the room, they saw a man with not particularly thick hair on his head sitting behind the desk in the front.
Before he could look up, Qi Xu and Mr. Tian saw the black evil aura swirling around him.
Sure enough, the source is here.
After Wu Guoqiang brought them into the house, he tactfully retreated.
"Boss, we are here to discuss a big deal. We asked your subordinates and they said that our mine does not sell raw stones, only finished materials."
"But we have a processing plant in our family and we only need the raw stones. Can you please make some concessions?"
Qi Xu suppressed his inner excitement, wanting to prioritize peace and communication.
"Well, how much rough diamonds do you want, or how often do you ship them?"
The leader was smoking a cigarette, showing no intention of stopping. He crossed his legs in the chair and asked with squinted eyes.
"Haha, not much, not much. Every time we come here, we pick out dozens of kilograms of raw stones and take them away directly. We should come here once a month or two to pick up the goods."
After Qi Xu finished speaking, he waited for a long time but received no response. When he looked up again, he saw the black evil spirit suddenly appear in front of him.
"Kid! Quick! It's up to you! Protective shield!"
In the blink of an eye, Qi Xu instantly shook off the little ghost in the blood bracelet and entered defense mode.
