Wu You didn't pay any more attention to it after posting. He had previously read related posts on Zhuchongzhijia, and they said that designing a project like this would take half a month, so he planned to check back later.
But Wu You had no idea that half a month referred to efficiency under normal circumstances.
Moreover, to be honest, during the first design phase, designers might not be working every single day; it would be good if they were working diligently for 10 out of 15 days.
The rest of the time is spent either resting and relaxing, chatting with colleagues, or discussing other projects.
However, given the current enthusiasm online, quite a few design proposals have been completed in the past week or so, and the number continues to increase.
So what is Wu You doing now?
During this period, a group of overly sensitive earthquake monitoring personnel from the Earthquake Bureau have been coming and going near the xS area to take various measurements, and have even gone up to Shiniu Mountain.
This made Wu You a little worried.
However, the mountain trees' ability to create a misty atmosphere was indeed amazing, and nothing was discovered.
At most, it will amaze the earthquake bureau staff with its unique vine-covered wall.
The result, of course, was that no earthquakes or crustal movements were detected, which gave the seismological bureau a slight sigh of relief.
After this incident, Wu You is now heading to the Ailao Mountains in Yunnan Province.
The day before, Xiang Biao called him, saying that someone in southern Yunnan had discovered a large ruby rough stone of excellent quality, which was hailed as the "Mother of Rubies" by the Yunnan Gem Association.
This 32.5-carat ruby surpasses the previous world record holder, the 23.1-carat ruby Carmen.
It is the best rough ruby discovered to date.
Upon receiving the call, Wu You immediately became restless. Recently, his alchemical energy had been depleted quite a bit, leaving him with less than 30 points.
Whether other rubies qualify as high quality remains to be verified, but this Mother of Rubies should definitely be qualified.
While the sensation caused by this rough stone was far less than that caused by the luminous pearl, it was still a rare gem, and many gem merchants were interested in it.
You have to get there before someone else buys it, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble to get it from another buyer.
Wu You's flight landed at Kuncheng Airport.
At the arrival gate, Xiang Biao and Wang Dong were already waiting there, while Hua Zai, who often accompanied them, was responsible for transporting and receiving seedlings in front of Shi Niu Mountain every day with several recruited workers.
From afar, Wu You spotted the sign Xiang Biao was holding and walked towards them with a backpack slung over one shoulder.
...
Wang Hui received his performance bonus for six months. Thinking about how his girlfriend had been pestering him to go on a trip, he gritted his teeth and came to southern Yunnan.
They chose a self-guided tour group, the kind that only covers round-trip airfare and hotel accommodation, while all other sightseeing is handled by the tourists themselves.
This way, you can enjoy airfare and hotel accommodation at a more affordable price, and you can also avoid being ripped off by tour guides.
In recent years, there have been frequent incidents of tour guides cheating tourists on cheap tours, and Wang Hui is naturally unwilling to pay for expensive tours.
First-class passengers are usually taken to the airport arrival area by a separate shuttle bus, and then the economy class passengers are taken by the shuttle bus.
Wang Hui and Wan Qianqian got off the plane on the shuttle bus. Because they were in a hurry to pick up their checked luggage, they walked a little faster and gradually caught up with the first-class passengers who had gone ahead of them.
Wang Hui saw a person's back view ahead that looked somewhat familiar, so he pulled Wan Qianqian along and quickened his pace to get closer.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed an acquaintance—Wu You, his former high school classmate who sat in the row behind him.
I remember this guy used to draw sketches and comics during class, and I used him as a shield.
"Hey, Wu You."
Wu You stretched as he walked ahead, glanced at his watch, and realized it was almost lunchtime.
Just as he was thinking of taking Xiang Biao and the others to eat some Yunnan specialties, he heard someone call his name from his right rear.
I turned around and saw a high school classmate.
"Ha, Wang Hui, it's you! What a coincidence! Is this your girlfriend?" Wu You was very happy to see Wang Hui, a fellow countryman in a foreign land.
"Yes, this is my girlfriend, Wan Qianqian. Isn't she beautiful? Hey, you're also traveling in southern Yunnan?"
Wan Qianqian smiled politely at Wu You, and Wu You waved back before answering Wang Hui.
"No, I've come to southern Yunnan to discuss a small business deal."
"I forgot that your family is rich. You always had pocket money back in high school."
“What do you mean by ‘local tycoon’? Back then, you all laughed at my dad because he was a livestock farmer, a full-time farmer.”
Wang Hui recalled, "Yeah, I was really silly back then."
Wu You reminisced and sighed, "The innocent and carefree days are gone forever. Okay, come with me to lunch, it's on me."
Wang Hui laughed: "Then it has to be high-class. I haven't seen you for so many years, I have to make a killing on you!"
...
Wan Qianqian didn't say much. She had been attracted by Wu You's watch from the beginning and was secretly searching for it on her phone.
After finding the results, she slightly opened her mouth but then covered it with her hand.
According to online search results, Wu You is wearing a Patek Philippe sapphire crystal dial stainless steel hand-made mechanical watch, valued at over 300,000 RMB.
Wang Hui's salary plus annual bonus is only 80,000 yuan, while she herself is a spendthrift with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan and has to ask Wang Hui for money from time to time.
Wu You's watch alone is worth several years' worth of their income if they didn't eat or drink.
...
The three chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the arrival gate, which was crowded with people.
Xiang Biao and Wang Dong were both tall and strong. Xiang Biao had a meticulous, standard elite man's hairstyle, while Wang Dong's hair was relatively short, so it was a buzz cut.
The four employees of Wan Shou Shan Zhuang Biotechnology Company, who had been recruited not long ago, also stood up straight. It was not easy for them, as recent college graduates, to enter a company with excellent benefits.
In particular, the job function of this company is very simple, which is to find some distinctive plants and animals. Although it may take a long time to leave home, I can easily do this job.
The company's explanation is that the ecological protection project at Shiniushan requires these special plants and animals, while those involving illegal activities can be abandoned.
This ruby acquisition task was a temporary assignment, but I'm like a brick in the company, ready to be moved wherever needed.
All six were dressed in matching outfits, which still attracted a lot of attention at the arrival gate.
In particular, the blue tattoo on Wang Dong's arm, which was part of his short-sleeved shirt, kept a small area around them clear and prevented anyone from approaching.
Seeing Wu You chatting and laughing with someone as they approached, Xiang Biao immediately stepped forward to take Wu You's backpack, and the five people behind him followed.
“Mr. Wu, some of our brothers have already gone over to Ailao Mountain. No one will buy it before you arrive.”
"Very good." Wu You was positive about Xiang Biao's efficiency, but Xiang Biao had been involved in the underworld for too long, and some of his habits were hard to change completely in a short time.
For example, they always like to call each other "brother," even though they are all employees of Wan Shou Shan Zhuang Biotechnology Company and should logically be called "colleagues."
Wu You could have avoided making this trip in person, but the company had only been established for a short time, and people like Xiang Biao and Wang Dong were not suitable for business negotiations. Moreover, trustworthy high-level management talent was not something that could be found easily.
Xiang Biao glanced at the two people standing next to Wu You.
"Mr. Wu, who are these two?"
Wang Hui and Wan Qianqian seemed a little flustered by the scene.
Wu You put aside his thoughts for the moment and introduced them to the group: "This is Wang Hui, my good friend, and this is his girlfriend, Wan Qianqian."
He then said to Wang Hui and Wan Qianqian, "These are my company's employees. They look a bit fierce, but they're nice people."
Upon hearing that they were Wu You's good friends, Wang Dong and several of his company employees immediately stepped forward to help them carry their bags.
Wang Hui hurriedly dodged.
"No need, no need, we can carry it ourselves. By the way, Wu You, we still have a large piece of luggage at the baggage check-in counter. Why don't we go ahead and get it?"
Wu You didn't mind: "Okay, you guys go ahead first. I'll wait for you in the parking lot. We'll go eat right away."
Wang Hui was about to refuse when Wan Qianqian twisted his arm hard.
She said, somewhat dazed, "Well... okay then."
Wan Qianqian knows her boyfriend too well; she feels 70% love and 30% worry about his personality.
