"I'm sorry, this is my fault as the team leader for not disciplining the students properly."
"To express my apology, I'll stand up and talk from now on, I hope you can forgive me." Qi Minglin said, standing up with her head down and a sincere expression on her face.
"Why are you standing up? What's it to you? Let him stand up and stand against the wall. Go away, I don't want to look at his scumbag face." Chen Feng pointed at Zhang Richeng and spoke to Qi Minglin.
"Don't go too far!" Zhang Richeng was furious upon hearing this, and turned his face away, unable to hold back any longer.
He is a figure of immense stature, considered one of the world's top talents in the field of geology. Whether in China or abroad, everyone treats him with utmost respect, calling him an expert and offering him a seat of honor.
When he got to Chen Feng's place, not only did he not get a seat, but he also had to be scolded by Chen Feng. He didn't even dare to talk back and had to face the wall in self-reflection. This was too much!
"Chen Feng, can I apologize on his behalf? If you're angry, take it out on me."
On one side are top domestic experts, and on the other side is Chen Feng. Qi Minglin is now caught in the middle, in a dilemma, and can only take a deep breath and speak.
"Why is everything directed at you? Are you his mother?"
"If he doesn't want to, or feels humiliated, that's fine too. You can leave now. I don't want to hear your story. Please leave." Chen Feng took a deep drag of his cigarette, stubbed it out, and gave them the order to leave.
In fact, although Chen Feng didn't know why the domestic exploration teams were looking for him, he was certain of one thing.
They definitely need something from him, otherwise they wouldn't have come to see him in such a large group.
Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, or what it may be, Chen Feng will definitely not let them lead him by the nose.
Others are overjoyed when invited by the state, willing to endure humiliation and disrespect just to join, all for the sake of having their own page in the family tree and a banner. I don't know what they're after.
Unfortunately, that was someone else, not Chen Feng.
Chen Feng doesn't need a separate page in his family genealogy, and his family doesn't have that kind of jerk.
If Chen Feng really wanted a separate page, he could just go to a print shop and make a copy himself. He could make the entire first page, let alone a separate page.
Chen Feng is not unpatriotic, nor is he deliberately putting on airs.
If the country needs him, Chen Feng wouldn't mind helping them without harming his own interests.
But all of this must be based on equality and respect.
I'm helping you, and I still have to put up with your attitude and let you yell at me for no reason? Do you think I'm just bored? Is this how you ask for a favor?
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Qi Minglin finally sighed and gave Zhang Richeng a wink, signaling him to just bear with it for now, since he had to be so talkative.
Seeing this, Zhang Richeng's face turned ashen with anger. In the end, he could only stand up, turn around, and walk towards the back wall to reflect on his mistakes.
If it weren't for the bigger picture, he would have flipped the table long ago. Damn it, how could he tolerate Chen Feng?
I'll put up with you for a few minutes, just wait a bit.
Of course, it's unclear whether he was just trying to comfort himself, but he certainly didn't dare say it aloud.
"Chen Feng, let's both calm down and talk about what's next," Qi Minglin said sincerely as she took a deep breath and sat down.
"Hmm," Chen Feng replied indifferently.
"First of all, can you tell me how you discovered that mine?" Qi Minglin asked.
"I found it by chance," Chen Feng replied, sticking to his usual answer.
"Okay, so what do you usually rely on when you're panning for gold?" Qi Minglin didn't dwell on this question and continued to ask.
"Relying on what? Relying on the detector, what else can it be?" Chen Feng said, puzzled.
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Qi Minglin sighed softly, preparing to confront him. She felt that if she didn't confront him, continuing to ask him would only lead to repeating the same old questions.
"Chen Feng, let me be frank. From graduation to embarking on the path of gold mining, to having everything you have now, your life is extraordinary."
"While others earn tens of dollars a day, you can earn hundreds. When others are earning hundreds, you're already earning tens of thousands."
"When others are making a few hundred a day, you're already making hundreds of thousands."
"You were the clear winner in the gold mining competition, and every time you sold your goods thereafter, the value exceeded one million. You even dug up a gold nugget worth several million, which went up for auction."
"Can you tell me how you managed to do all this?" Qi Minglin asked, staring into Chen Feng's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng blinked and slowly gave an extremely sincere answer.
"Because... I'm awesome."
Qi Minglin: "..."
"Pfft."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yingying couldn't help but burst out laughing, but she immediately realized that this was not the time to laugh and quickly suppressed it.
Upon hearing this answer, Zhang Richeng, who was leaning against the wall in contemplation, couldn't help but scoff silently, mouthing, "What a show-off."
Qi Minglin, her face full of exasperation, took a deep breath, smoothed her hair back, and composed herself before speaking again: "Chen Feng, I'm really asking you seriously now. How did you manage to do all this? Can you give me an answer?"
"I gave it, don't I think I'm awesome?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled.
"Awesome, I didn't say you weren't awesome, but I want to know why you're so awesome," Qi Minglin asked helplessly.
"Because my dad is awesome," Chen Feng replied, smacking his lips.
Ah~
Qi Minglin was really about to lose it. She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and looked up to speak again.
"Can we stop beating around the bush? What method do you have? Is it some kind of metaphysics or intuition? Give me a reason."
"Have you ever seen a stranger casually walk in and ask a question, and the master craftsman would impart all his life's skills to you?" Chen Feng asked calmly this time, without beating around the bush.
This time, Qi Minglin was speechless. It seemed that this was the case, but something was a little off.
After a moment's thought, she immediately realized where the problem lay.
They didn't explain their purpose, nor did they introduce themselves or what they did.
No wonder he was on guard; if it were me, I would definitely be wary too.
Damn it, it's all Zhang Richeng's fault for disrupting my train of thought. You deserve to be punished.
Qi Minglin muttered to herself and glared at Zhang Richeng, who was still facing the wall.
Only then did he turn around and begin to explain.
"Chen Feng, it's like this, we are a national special geological exploration team."
"I am the captain of this team, and all the members of our exploration team are composed of the top geological experts in the country."
"We have come together in response to the call of our nation, with only one purpose: to... search for rare earth elements!"
