"My God, it really is gold! How much is this worth?!" Lin Nian muttered, clutching his head in shock.
He never dreamed that he would one day dig up such a large amount of gold.
"How much will it cost? Let me give you an estimate."
Chen Feng turned the gold over and over, examining it from all angles, while also weighing it.
It's certain that this piece of gold is bigger than the one he had for 750,000!
"This weight, damn, it might be worth a million." Chen Feng's mouth immediately broke into a wide smile when he thought of that number.
The moment one-tenth of the goal was achieved, Chen Feng was overjoyed with the surprise.
I'm sure I can save up ten million in less than half a month if I keep going like this!
"One million? My God, I've never seen so much money in my life."
Lin Nian was stunned when he heard the number.
I was worried about building a house the day before yesterday, but yesterday my brother told me that I could build a house when I went back.
If we find a million-dollar gold nugget today, does that mean we already have the money to build a house?
Happiness came so suddenly!
"Hahaha, I never thought I'd find such a big gold nugget here. This place is amazing. It's all thanks to Gao Xiaowen's death."
"If he hadn't died, I would still be here. He would have already taken it all by now." Chen Feng hugged the gold nugget and was overjoyed.
"Who is Gao Xiaowen?" Lin Nian, who was listening from the side, was a little confused.
"It doesn't matter, haha." Chen Feng touched the gold nugget, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.
He really didn't expect to receive such a surprise on his very second day here.
If I calculate it this way, wouldn't I have already raised three million, and achieved thirty percent of my goal?
"Brother, what are we still doing here?" Lin Nian was thinking about selling the goods as soon as possible and then going home.
He always felt uneasy having that million-dollar amount of goods on him.
"Go for it, why not? You're still so young, 100,000 isn't enough, how about 1 billion? 1 billion is enough."
Chen Feng handed the gold nugget to Lin Nian and went to drive the car over. This thing was heavy, so he decided to just put it in the car.
"These lines... why do they sound so familiar?" Lin Nian murmured to himself, holding the gold as he watched Chen Feng walk away.
Chen Feng quickly drove up and put the gold in the car.
"Brother, when we get to work, shouldn't we lock the car? Otherwise, what if someone comes and ransacks it?" Lin Nian said worriedly.
"Dude, there's not a soul in this place, not even a ghost. Who's going to search it?" Chen Feng said speechlessly.
Lin Nian really feels unsafe no matter what he does right now. It seems you still have a lot of experience to gain, young man.
If he hangs out with Chen Feng for a while longer, he'll probably get used to it.
"Take a break and get back to work," Chen Feng said, handing Lin Nian a cigarette.
After experiencing such an exciting event, Lin Nian definitely needs to rest and recover. Moreover, he can finish work early today. Chen Feng plans to finish at four o'clock.
There's no way to eat out here, so I'll just have a good meal tonight and get some rest early.
"Okay." Lin Nian took the cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Brother is right. He's still so young. How can 100,000 be enough for him? He's a man who's going to surpass the village chief!
And so, the two of them, one digging and the other sifting, soon reached four o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Nian's bag was getting heavier and heavier. After he finished digging the hole, he saw Chen Feng sitting in the excavator looking at his phone.
There were no more pits further ahead.
"Brother, what's wrong? Are you digging a hole? I've run out of things to do." Lin Nian walked over and shouted to Chen Feng.
"All done?" Chen Feng asked, opening the car door.
He was looking at information about contracting a gold mine and didn't notice that Lin Nian had already finished his work.
“Yeah, there are no more holes, bro, dig some more.” Lin Nian urged.
"I'm not digging anymore. Let's rest early today and leave work early."
"Let's go back and eat!"
Chen Feng jumped down and put his arm around Lin Nian's shoulder.
"We're going back so early today. Actually, we could have worked for another hour," Lin Nian said, looking at the sun with a hint of regret.
"People need to balance work and rest, you know? When you find a big sale, you have to leave work early, that's the rule."
"If there were a bathhouse here, I would definitely ask you for a massage," Chen Feng said with a smile.
Lin Nian blushed upon hearing this and lowered his head, feeling embarrassed.
I've been with Yin Xing and the others all this time, and even though I didn't understand anything then, I understand now.
"Forget about that. We'd rather use that money to eat something nice. I heard it costs five hundred each time." Lin Nian shook her head shyly.
"What are you thinking? It's just a massage, why would it cost five hundred? What are you planning to do?" Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately realized that Lin Nian had misunderstood.
I'm such an upright person, how could I be like Yin Xing and his ilk, always walking on the edge of the law?
"Oh, it's just a simple massage, what's the point of that..."
Lin Nian muttered something to himself.
"Huh?" Chen Feng stared at Lin Nian, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Um...that's not what I meant, I meant..."
Lin Nian didn't know how to explain for a moment, and waved his hands repeatedly, looking flustered. He had just blurted out that sentence unintentionally, and he really didn't mean it that way.
"Stay away from Zheng Ping and his group from now on. They're such good kids, and they've corrupted them." Chen Feng shook his head and said earnestly.
"Actually, it has nothing to do with Brother Zheng and the others." Lin Nian subconsciously didn't want to implicate others, so he spoke up to defend them.
"So that's what you've always thought?" Chen Feng raised an eyebrow at Lin Nian.
"That damned Zheng Ping, it's all their fault for nagging me about these things every day."
Upon hearing this, Lin Nian immediately clenched his fist and let out a fierce snort.
The two returned to the Wuling van, started cooking rice, and Chen Feng began calculating today's earnings.
After adding and subtracting various amounts, Chen Feng finally came up with a figure.
Excluding that large piece of gold, today's harvest totaled 172,000.
Perhaps it was because I was lucky, but I spent less time searching today and still got more than I did yesterday.
"My God, at this rate, won't we become millionaires soon?" Lin Nian exclaimed, utterly astonished.
Lin Nian had only ever read the term "millionaire" in novels, and he never imagined that he would one day be associated with it.
"Oh no, you're already a millionaire," Lin Nian added.
"Don't worry, if you follow me, it'll be your turn sooner or later," Chen Feng said with a smile.
Lin Nian climbed into the car and opened a pack of thirty-yuan cigarettes. Today was such a happy day, we had to celebrate.
It's worth mentioning that even though Chen Feng was already quite wealthy, he still only smoked cigarettes that cost a dozen or so yuan.
He bought those few packs of good cigarettes in the car on a whim, thinking he'd never tried them before and wanted to see what they tasted like.
Lin Nian wanted to smoke good cigarettes but couldn't bear to spend the money, but today he could splurge.
The two of them lit a good cigarette, sat by the car, and took a deep drag—that was their biggest reward for the day.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they had been working there for ten days.
