Chapter 20
In the past few months, Cui Youyi has lived an exceptionally fulfilling life.
The ice sculpture competition is coming, and the five-member team does not have enough tacit understanding.
I heard that the people in other teams are skilled partners who have practiced together for many years. With just a glance, the other people in the team know how to cooperate.
As for their team, not only did they have to go through many twists and turns to form a team, but after finally forming a team, they had to take some time to develop tacit understanding and also had to deal with Zhou Kaiyun's picking on them from time to time.
As time goes by, the tacit understanding between Cui Youyi and her team can only be said to be slowly increasing.
Fortunately, Cui Youyi's cooperation with Xiaoguancun went smoothly.
Lin Yinniang and Lin Erwen are from Xiaoguan Village, so they are naturally very willing to see Cui Youyi cooperate with them.
Hou Yi has always been the youngest in the family and has not been qualified to participate in many things. Rarely does something that sounds really great come along, and he decides to participate with all his strength and make some achievements to impress his family.
As for Zhou Sheng, he was originally a lonely man, and Cui Youyi's plan was not hidden from him. When he heard that it would benefit the ice sculptor from a poor family, he decisively expressed his willingness to contribute.
The team was unanimous in their opinions, so Cui Youyi began to plan freely.
Before negotiating with Wang Jun, she wrote a detailed plan based on the existing adult male and female labor force in Xiaoguan Village.
Based on various issues that may have occurred during ice harvesting in the past, the scheduling plan and emergency plan have been optimized.
In addition, she also combined her memories of the 21st century to adjust and optimize the ice picks, ice saws, and ice shovels needed for ice harvesting. Not only did she produce a blueprint, she also asked a blacksmith to make a new set of tools based on the blueprint.
After a series of thorough preparations, Cui Youyi went to find Wang Jun in a "grand" manner.
"No, Miss Cui's request is too much."
Cui Youyi had just started to realize her grand ambition when she was rejected outright by Wang Jun.
Cui Youyi stood there, a bit bewildered. "Why?" She hadn't imagined being rejected at all. Wasn't her plan beneficial to Wang Jun without any harm? She couldn't imagine why she would be rejected.
Wang Jun put down Cui Youyi's plan, sighed, and tried to speak in a gentle tone: "To be honest, I am very tempted by Miss Cui's plan, but you don't know."
After thinking about it, Wang Jun decided to tell her about the current situation of ice harvesting in Ningguta. Subconsciously, he had a vague expectation for Cui Youyi.
If she can come up with such a comprehensive plan, how can she not solve the problem of ice accumulation in Ningguta?
Cui Youyi was taken to an ice cellar by Wang Jun in a daze. Seeing the mountains of ice in front of her, she was shocked.
There's too much ice in stock!
Cui Youyi was speechless for a moment: "This..."
Wang Jun nodded helplessly. "As you can see, our county government has a fixed location for ice harvesting each year, and this piece of land has long been targeted by other families. If the harvesting is not clean enough each year, someone will come to the government office and petition for a reallocation of the ice harvesting site."
"But in reality, the ice our organization mines is never enough to use up, and it accumulates year after year, resulting in the stockpiles you see here."
Cui Youyi didn't understand: "Then why not sell it outside?" Ningguta promotes ice sculptures so much, there must be people who need to purchase ice blocks for practice, right?
Wang Jun sighed again and started to speak in a pitiful way: "We have had a hard time these past few years!"
"It's true that Ningguta people admire ice sculptures, but they don't like all kinds of ice sculptures. Ice sculptures of moderate quality are relatively expensive, and ordinary people won't spend much money on them. If someone at home knows how to make them, you can buy a decent one for a few dozen coins."
"Those ice sculptures used for show are relatively expensive, so buyers naturally look for those produced by a few companies. These companies have fixed ice harvesting locations each year, and in recent years, they've even designated larger areas for harvesting ice."
"They have ample ice reserves, so they don't need to buy ice sculptures from outside. Furthermore, Ningguta is very cold in the winter, and even the poor ice sculptors have their own ways to obtain the ice they need. Our government sends people to mine ice, and after deducting the ice used for the annual ice sculpture competition, the rest is piled up here."
Wang Jun was really worried about what to do with the ice. He couldn't sell it, but he couldn't just watch it melt away. After all, he had spent money to have it mined.
Cui Youyi walked into the ice cellar, reached out to touch the various ice cubes, shivered from the cold, and then withdrew her hand.
"The ice has been there for too long. There are signs of melting on the outside, and the internal structure has also changed. The difficulty of carving has increased greatly. Many delicate objects can no longer be carved with these ice blocks."
Cui Youyi felt a little regretful. The storage conditions at that time were not enough, otherwise there would be so many things that could be done with these ice cubes.
At worst, we can learn from H City and build an ice and snow sculpture amusement park.
Cui Youyi felt excited inside, but when she thought about the current traffic conditions and protective measures, she felt that not many people would be willing to visit this amusement world even if it was replicated.
Although only a short time had passed, Cui Youyi felt as if she was in another world and had no idea what had happened to her parents and grandfather.
Cui Youyi felt sad for a while. Wang Jun noticed that she was in a bad mood and was a little flustered for a moment.
He was just used to complaining to his boss and didn't think about what would happen to Cui Youyi.
What should he do? What should he do? Should he say something to comfort Cui Youyi?
Wang Jun had never encountered any difficult problems. Of course, he would never admit that he had never paid attention to these "little things" before.
Seeing Cui Youyi sad, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
In his impression, Cui Youyi has always been a very lively girl.
They can seize every opportunity to grow tenaciously and will not be easily defeated by difficulties.
Since he had known Cui Youyi, he had never seen her feel uneasy or nervous. The Cui Youyi he knew was always calm and composed, and would negotiate and bargain with him with her eyes rolling.
Wang Jun was a little flustered. He found that he could clearly remember Cui Youyi's every smile, every move, and even the light and shadow cast by the sunlight on her were clearly engraved in his mind.
When did he become such a shameless person? Wang Jun seemed to realize his own despicableness for the first time and couldn't help but secretly spit on him. How could he be worthy of his friend's trust?
Cui Youyi had no idea what was going on in Wang Jun's mind. She put her hand on the ice as she did before to calm herself down. When she felt the cold was unbearable, she took her hand away and placed it on her forehead.
After a while, Cui Youyi felt better.
Wang Jun was invincible and stared at Cui Youyi blankly.
Cui Youyi waved her hand in front of him and called out questioningly, "Sir?"
Wang Jun finally came back to his senses, but was suddenly choked by his own saliva and started coughing non-stop.
Wang Jun's face flushed with embarrassment. How could he be so rude today? The more he thought about it, the more he blushed.
Cui Youyi looked around, trying to find a glass of water for Wang Jun, but there was nothing in the ice cellar except ice cubes.
Seeing that Wang Jun was coughing more and more uncomfortably, Cui Youyi quickly walked over and patted him on the back.
Just kidding, it would be dangerous if she choked on the trachea or something. She didn't know how to treat illnesses, so she could only imitate what she remembered other people doing when they choked, although she wasn't sure if it would work...
Cui Youyi felt it was best to show her gratitude. After all, Wang Jun was a key figure in the system mission! And her plans would require Wang Jun's cooperation in many aspects.
As soon as Cui Youyi approached, Wang Jun smelled a faint fragrance. He couldn't tell what it was, and when he realized it, he was already surrounded by the fragrance.
Wang Jun felt very guilty and waved his hands repeatedly, quickly moving away from Cui Youyi, acting as if to say that men and women should avoid physical contact and that you should avoid suspicion with me.
Cui Youyi couldn't help rolling her eyes, retracted her hand that was raised in the air, and felt a little dissatisfied with Wang Jun again.
I thought to myself, if the system task hadn't bound you as a key object, I wouldn't bother with you.
But when she met Wang Jun's moist eyes, all her dissatisfaction and bad thoughts disappeared immediately.
What did Cui Youyi see?
At that time, she was only fifty centimeters away from Wang Jun. She could clearly see the tiny hairs on Wang Jun's face, which added a different haziness to Wang Jun with every movement.
As my eyes fell, I could see his Adam's apple rising and falling with every breath, and further down, I could see his chest radiating endless warmth.
Cui Youyi swallowed her saliva. For the first time, she felt like a woman who had never seen the world.
Especially when he met Wang Jun's eyes that were slightly red with tears.
Cui Youyi covered her chest, trying to slow down her heartbeat and make it quieter.
She didn't want people to think she was a frivolous woman.
However, Cui Youyi couldn't help swallowing her saliva. No wonder men like to save Fengchen. She likes it too!
If Wang Jun put on a light white dress, held a zither in his arms, and looked at you with his moist peach blossom eyes, I guess he wouldn't be able to resist spending a lot of money!
What a brothel style!
Cui Youyi spit on Wang Jun!
Very good, she was so generous as to forgive him.
She didn't care at all that he interrupted her thoughts of getting rich.
Cui Youyi blinked hard, shifted her gaze away from Wang Jun, and took a few steps back, putting some distance between herself and Wang Jun.
Wang Jun also calmed down at this time, and felt a gust of fragrant wind slowly creating ripples and then gently receding, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart.
"If you have rested well, my Lord, why not listen to my new plan for the construction of Ningguta?"
Yes, while Cui Youyi appreciated the beauty, she also did not forget to review her own plans.
All the hazy thoughts in Wang Jun's mind gradually dissipated with this sentence.
He said sternly, "It's too cold here for a girl to stay for long. Come with me to my study for a chat."
When Wang Jun heard the word "study", he was a little surprised. After all, the study hid too many confidential things, and he usually would not let anyone into the study at will.
Why did he let Cui Youyi in so easily?
Wang Jun thought he was considering that the study was connected to a fire dragon, which would provide sufficient warmth to keep out the cold. He also ordered someone to send some warming ginger soup...
Wang Jun looked very unnatural when he realized what he was thinking. He looked at Cui Youyi suspiciously several times along the way.
Although Cui Youyi felt it, she didn't think much about it. She simply thought that Wang Jun was embarrassed.
In the eyes of the ancients, the fact that he was choked today should be considered a serious disrespect. It is normal for him to be unable to get over it for a while. She would not care at all or think too much about it.
She could understand that it was normal for Wang Jun to be upset for a while. There might be many more such things in the future, so he just had to get used to it.
Moreover, she had no other requirements for Wang Jun, as long as Wang Jun cooperated with her next plan.
Women who are engaged in business are so ruthless.
Cui Youyi's heart burned with excitement when she thought about the possibility of her survival increasing in the future. To be honest, she had had enough of this life with a knife hanging over her head.
Cui Youyi said she really couldn't afford to have to anxiously call the lost system every once in a while.
Her strong heart could no longer withstand the life-saving operation in the last second before death.
Other people's bound systems have all kinds of cheat codes, spaces, and malls. Her system is really a waste of money.
Not only can you not get anything out of me even with three sticks, but what's even more infuriating is that they lose contact as soon as there's a reward and are still very stingy.
Who wants ice that doesn’t melt in three days?
The most outrageous thing is that she goes online in seconds after being punished!!! Cui Youyi even suspects that she and the system have a mutually beneficial relationship.
