"Chen Feng, I got Teacher Chen's autograph, and I even got him to add your name!" Xia Yingying happily showed it to Chen Feng.
"And Chen Feng... that kid is really perfunctory!" Chen Feng said with a smile.
“I’m not being perfunctory. It’s like you appearing halfway through my life. Although we didn’t start from the beginning, now, it’s just right.” Xia Yingying looked into Chen Feng’s eyes and spoke softly.
Looking at Xia Yingying's eyes full of love, Chen Feng felt a warmth in his heart. The two of them subconsciously moved closer and closer, slowly closing their eyes. Against the backdrop of the azure sea, they created an incredibly romantic scene.
Wang Shan had already arrived home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife wiping the floor.
Many people might think that a big shot like him lives in a mansion or villa with the sea in his back.
Actually, no. His house was a 150-square-meter apartment assigned to him by higher authorities, and the decoration was full of the atmosphere of an old cadre.
"You're back. There's a package. Is it yours?" His wife gestured for him to look at the package on the shoe cabinet.
“It’s mine.” Wang Shan knew what it was just by looking at the address. He couldn’t wait to open the package and look at the beautiful box inside.
"This piece is really beautiful. Look, it even has golden flecks," Wang Shan said to his wife, pointing at the ore with a smile.
His wife, leaning on the mop, looked utterly helpless.
You're such a grown-up, why do you like playing with stones all the time?
"It looks beautiful, it looks beautiful. Come inside and take a look, don't keep me from mopping the floor." His wife nodded perfunctorily.
“You don’t know how to appreciate it. This ore is so beautiful,” Wang Shan said with deep emotion.
"Ding-a-ling..."
Before he could even enter the house, their doorbell rang.
"Who is it?" Wang Shan, holding the ore in his hand, turned to look at the gate, his expression instantly becoming serious and solemn.
"I don't know, didn't I come to see you?" his wife asked Wang Shan.
Wang Shan didn't say anything, but first threw the ore into the house before opening the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw four or five people standing there.
He didn't recognize three of them, but he had a vague impression of them, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
He was familiar with the other two, though; they were people even more important than him!
What on earth could have caused these two to personally come to his door to find him?
"Hey, come inside quickly, what's wrong with you all suddenly..." Wang Shan said with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"I've come over to get some information from you. Don't be nervous." His direct supervisor walked into the room and gestured that everything was alright.
"Excuse me, sorry to bother you," said the woman who appeared to be the youngest.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Everyone sat down on the sofa, and the woman looked at her phone and spoke.
"Chen Feng is 25 years old this year. He graduated from Northwest Heavy Industry with excellent grades, but he did not reach the very top level."
“He was a diligent student and a kind person, but he was disappointed after graduation, so he gave up on himself at home and spent his days drinking.”
"After that, he came into contact with gold mining and joined the industry, but he didn't expect to have such good luck in this industry."
"In just over half a year, he bought a car, built a house, had tens of millions of yuan in cash, and even leased a gold mine next to his hometown. He rose to prominence overnight."
"And all of this is inseparable from his extremely good luck."
"Leader Wang, you must have met him when you went to inspect the area this time, right?" the woman asked Wang Shan.
Wang Shan paused for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at his direct supervisor.
His superior simply nodded, even appearing to respect the woman's authority.
This caused a great uproar in Wang Shan's heart. There probably weren't many people in the whole country who could make his leader follow his lead.
Who exactly is this woman? She's so terrifying.
“I did see Chen Feng this time when I went down there. He should be the one you’re talking about.”
"So, what exactly do you need to know? What did he do that warrants such a fuss?" Wang Shan said with a laugh to lighten the mood.
The woman glanced at her phone but didn't seem to be laughing, which made Wang Shan feel a little awkward.
"So what impressions and opinions did you have of Chen Feng when you met him this time?" the woman asked.
"Chen Feng? He's very smart and knows his limits; he's one of the best among the young people."
"Didn't you say he was just loafing around and doing nothing for a while? Maybe he suddenly decided to work hard and improve himself?"
"After all, Northwest Heavy Industry is a top student, so it's normal for them to be outstanding."
To be honest, Wang Shan's words were ambiguous because he didn't know what these people were up to either.
It wasn't to protect Chen Feng, but rather because he was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he could easily get involved.
After all, he knew all too well what the people in front of him represented.
"After searching for gold in my hometown for a while, I bought a car and then went to the hills, where I won the gold panning championship by crushing everything in my path."
"His rise to prominence also began in the hills."
"Moreover, we have investigated and found that each time he sells a mine, it is almost in the millions. This person has a very strong ability to make money, even to the point of being groundbreaking."
The woman looked at her phone and repeated what she had read.
"You want to arrest him? But this doesn't seem like stealing ore, does it? Isn't that just waste ore that everyone mines?" Wang Shan asked, somewhat puzzled.
But in reality, Wang Shan's actions were a way of indirectly finding out what their true purpose was in seeking out Chen Feng.
Wang Shan knew very well that their large-scale investigation of Chen Feng was definitely not to arrest him, because Chen Feng was far from qualified.
So if he asks this, the woman will most likely deny it and then reveal her true purpose.
Sure enough, the woman shook her head upon hearing this.
"It's not about arresting him, it's just..."
"Tell us anything else you know," the woman asked, looking up.
"Actually, I don't know anything about it either. I haven't had much contact with him." Wang Shan thought for a moment, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Yes, contact us anytime if you think of anything. This person is very important to us."
"Also, today's conversation is top secret. Don't divulge it to anyone," the woman said apologetically as she stood up.
His wife had been asked to go downstairs when they came in.
"I know that, it definitely won't leak out, you can rest assured." Wang Shan stood up, ready to see them off.
"No need to see us off. Your wife will be back soon. We have other things to do, so we'll be leaving now," his direct supervisor said, patting him on the shoulder.
"Alright, alright, take care," Wang Shan said, standing at the door.
After seeing them off, Wang Shan's wife returned quickly. She said with some alarm, "What's going on? What serious thing happened? Are you going to be investigated?"
"No, I was just playing with a few stones. Why are you checking on me? I didn't do anything else."
"But today's commotion is really a bit outrageous." Wang Shan took a deep breath, his thoughts racing.
No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't understand how Chen Feng, an ordinary citizen, could have alarmed these important figures, who even joined forces to investigate him.
"What exactly did this kid do?" Wang Shan muttered to himself, puzzled.
