Chapter 146 of 10099 Urban New Farmers: Pulling Stone Back to the Provincial Capital (Two Chapters Completed)
Taking the opportunity, Pai Guodong bid farewell, and Lin Hui couldn't very well try to stop him. At that moment, the guard in the ward stood up and stopped Ya Ya just as she was about to hand out the candy, saying, "Miss said that anything Miss Sun eats must be inspected; she can't just accept things from strangers!"
Lin Hui hesitated for a moment before saying, "Is it nothing? Guodong is a very nice person."
The guard, however, dutifully said, "Miss, it would be best to check."
However, Ya Ya was unhappy because someone had stolen her candy. "Hmph, Mom usually doesn't allow me to eat candy because she says it's bad for my teeth. The older brother gave me candy, and they still stole it!"
The little elf's eyes lit up when she saw two pretty beads in the candy. They smelled so good and felt so nice. Ya Ya immediately grabbed them, hid them behind her back, and then secretly put them in her mouth, pretending to go to sleep.
This was the gift from Zhang Guodong: a "blood-replenishing pill" and a "body-strengthening pill." They melted instantly upon entering the mouth. YaYa.com noted that the two pills, once in the mouth, transformed into a torrent that flowed downwards and then rapidly spread throughout the body.
"Ah, so delicious!" Ya Ya exclaimed, feeling incredibly comfortable. She thought the candy was making her feel so good.
However, when Lin Hui heard that her daughter had actually eaten the candy, she hurriedly turned her daughter around, but Ya Ya's face was rosy and she looked very healthy. A pleasant fragrance lingered in her mouth.
Then she noticed that traces of black mud were seeping out of her daughter's face, quickly making it look dirty. She immediately panicked.
"Quickly call Professor Sun over!" Lin Hui said anxiously.
The police officer was busy communicating via internal line.
This commotion alerted a whole group of people, who hadn't even had a chance to rest before being rushed over. There was no other way; their granddaughter's condition had worsened!
Dean Huang was one of the most upset among them. Upon seeing a nurse, he couldn't help but criticize, "How are you taking care of the patients?"
He was also frustrated, wondering why things had gone wrong so suddenly. He couldn't help but worry that if something happened while he was leaving, his dean might just disappear.
"Hospital director, I..." the nurse was almost in tears. She hadn't even had a chance to enter the ward!
Professor Lin, Professor Li, and Professor Sun were at the forefront, and Professor Sun entered the ward first to examine Ya Ya. But at this moment, the little one's face, hands, and arms were all dirty and had an unpleasant, pungent odor. However, Ya Ya had her eyes closed at this moment.
"Professor Sun, how is my granddaughter?" Old Lin asked, seeing Professor Sun's astonished silence.
"Strange, strange, strange! Her body is actually detoxifying in large quantities? The little girl is better than ever!" Professor Sun said incoherently.
The crowd glared at them angrily.
Professor Sun hurriedly said, "I don't know why the patient is experiencing a large amount of detoxification. It can be said that this detoxification will at least greatly alleviate the condition. The specific results can only be determined after examination! This is a good thing. I have never seen such an obvious detoxification phenomenon before!"
"So that's a good thing?" Old Lin asked directly.
"This is wonderful, incredibly wonderful!" Professor Sun affirmed. "With this massive detoxification, the patient's condition might improve or even heal completely before long!"
It's actually good news?
Everyone was pleasantly surprised! The situation had taken a complete 180-degree turn, which had initially startled everyone, but then brought them joy.
But Professor Sun ignored all of this; this was an extremely rare phenomenon. He disregarded the crowd's excitement and said, "Dean Huang, I have a favor to ask you. Did the patient eat anything just now? Could you please check?"
How could Dean Huang be unwilling?
"Professor Sun, it seems Ya Ya ate some candy just now?" Lin Hui asked hesitantly. But eating candy to promote detoxification? That doesn't seem like a valid claim, does it?
"Candy?" Professor Sun asked in surprise.
"Where are these candies? Let me see them!"
The evidence of the candy brought by Zhang Guodong was all destroyed, so where would the elixir come from?
Unable to find the answer, Professor Sun was naturally unwilling to give up; so he asked again, "Who gave you this candy?"
"Is it Zhang Guodong, that young man from earlier? Professor Sun?" Lin Hui said.
"I have a favor to ask. Could you please arrange an appointment with Zhang Guodong for me later?" Professor Sun said, his eyes slightly warm.
Everyone was confused. What on earth was going on?
"Ugh, Mommy, I smell awful! I want a bath!" Ya Ya snapped back to reality. The drug was very strong. The little girl was so comfortable she forgot where she was.
Ya Ya's awakening interrupted everyone's thoughts.
Dean Huang busied himself organizing people to bathe Ya Ya and then examine her. However, the subsequent examination results shocked everyone. Ya Ya's leukemia symptoms were gradually disappearing; at this rate, it was estimated that she might be cured of leukemia in a few days!
"A miracle! It's absolutely a miracle!" Professor Sun exclaimed, looking at the laboratory test data.
But by this time, Zhang Guodong, who had caused the miracle, had already rented a truck and arrived at Hongtan. He was preparing to move those hundreds of kilograms of raw stones!
When Zhang Guodong arrived at Hongtan, he was surprised to see Liu Neng. Liu Neng was back!
"Sold out?" Zhang Guodong asked in surprise as he got out of the car.
Now money is flowing into his pockets. Liu Neng is naturally in an extremely good mood. His second trip to the south to deliver goods was basically sold out before he even finished unloading the truck. It is said that the first batch of gold and raw stones yielded a lot of gold and jade, which have now become hot commodities.
He also brought back three tons of jade slag, all made to Zhang Guodong's standards, and was eager to send the money to Zhang Guodong. "These raw stones are in high demand now!" Liu Neng said happily. "Boss Zhang, this time I've brought you some truly excellent stuff!"
What good stuff?
As soon as Liu Neng saw Zhang Guodong, Zhang Guodong patted Liu Neng on the shoulder happily and said, "Boss Liu, well done! How much of this stuff do you have? Six hundred yuan per kilogram. Do you want cash or raw stones?"
"Hey Mr. Zhang, if it's convenient, how about giving us the raw stones? We only discarded three tons this time, but we'll probably have more next time. May I ask how much jade scrap you need?" Liu Neng said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.
He brought back three tons this time to test whether Zhang Guodong would really accept them, but Zhang Guodong readily agreed!
"No problem, raw stones it is. 1.8 million, two tons and two hundred kilograms of raw stones, right? Good luck! I'll take as many jade scraps as you collect, but remember, they must maintain this quality! Thirty to fifty tons, even a hundred tons, as long as you have them, I'll buy them!" Zhang Guodong said with a smile.
"Both raw stones and cash are fine with me!"
A ton of jade slag can yield about two ounces of jade essence, which is quite a small amount!
"Thank you, Boss Zhang. No problem, I'll take care of it!" Liu Neng said happily.
I thought to myself, "I've made another profit!"
Zhang Guodong needed to return to the provincial capital to ask the workers to help move the several giant rough stones. Liu Neng's men were left behind. After the stones were loaded onto the truck, Zhang Guodong said to Liu Neng, "This place is in your hands now. I won't be back for a few days!"
Liu Neng, being a shrewd and perceptive person, immediately pledged his loyalty, saying, "Don't worry, Boss Zhang, I'll take care of things here. You go ahead with your work!"
The truck carrying over a dozen giant raw stones stopped. Zhang Guodong unloaded them all and then moved them to Taoyuan. These raw stones, weighing hundreds of kilograms each, contained large pieces of gold and jade of relatively high quality. Placing them in Taoyuan would create a scenic view.
In the afternoon, Zhang Guodong boarded a plane to the provincial capital, dressed lightly.
Returning to the provincial capital felt very different. This time, he specifically invested money to secure a second legal identity, as long as no one with ulterior motives noticed. This second identity was safe.
In the evening, Zhang Guodong set foot on the land of the provincial capital.
"Where are you headed, sir?" A taxi pulled up as soon as you exited the waiting area.
"Jiahao Hotel!" Zhang Guodong considered going back to Green Treasure Pavilion. But then decided against it, lest anyone notice his return was purely for discretion. Meeting Fatty at the Jiahao Hotel would be the best option.
"Okay!"
"Fatty, I'm back in the provincial capital. Come to Jiahao. Let's drink tonight, don't go back!" Zhang Guodong called Fatty.
The fat man was surprised to receive Zhang Guodong's call. Wasn't he supposed to be back in half a month? He lowered his voice and asked, "Taking care of business?"
Zhang Guodong sweated a little and grunted, "Stop talking nonsense and come over here! Otherwise, Lin Meimei's gift will be gone!"
"The sun is coming right now!"
When Zhang Guodong arrived at the Jiahao Hotel by taxi, the fat man, wearing sunglasses, was already waiting outside.
"You're so eager to talk about Lin Daiyu's gift, yet you've already forgotten your principles so quickly because of your looks!" Zhang Guodong criticized him, but the fat man didn't care at all.
"Listen to your wife and follow the Party, and you'll have a good life! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get up there!" the fat man chuckled.
The fat man booked a luxurious private room, which he did as the young master of the business.
Zhang Guodong said he wanted to drink, so he went straight to Jiahao Fatty, who sighed knowingly that he'd probably spend the night there! Zhang Guodong's alcohol tolerance has increased dramatically; it's practically a bottomless pit. Fatty will definitely be the first to collapse from drinking!
Once inside the private room, the fat man stretched out his hand with a lewd grin: "Don't say I'm not loyal, I need motivation too, hehe. What gifts did you bring this time? I'm going to go gray trying to please Lin Meimei!"
Bang!
Zhang Guodong took something out and placed it on the coffee table, looking at him with a half-smile.
The fat man's face turned green instantly, and he muttered, "Damn it, why did you give me a rock?"
"You have no taste! This stone is worth a million. Take it or leave it!" Zhang Guodong said dismissively. Then he prepared to put it away. "Let's get down to business!"
Upon hearing that it was worth a million, the fat man grabbed it faster than a monkey, his expression changing with astounding speed. He muttered, "Why wouldn't I accept a gift from my buddy? Even if it's just a pile of mud, I'd still take it, right? But is this stone really worth a million? Hmm, is this jade? Where did it come from? Did they discover a jade mine?"
Seeing that Zhang Guodong ignored him, the fat man smiled obsequiously and said, "Alright, let's get down to business. You're quite wealthy now, even wanting to marry two wives. If it were me, my parents and grandparents would definitely reprimand me! I've found out about the fake ID and the village for residency registration. It's a one-stop service that can be done tomorrow. But be prepared to spend a lot of money. Also, there's something else I need to tell you. Even a second legal identity isn't guaranteed, so be prepared!"
Note: Two chapters completed. More tomorrow. Also, the next volume is almost finished; look forward to something exciting!
