As soon as he stepped out of Xiahou's office, Chen Feng straightened up, his expression calm, his eyes slightly lowered, and walked out of the hall.
Arriving at the land bureau was also very simple; everyone there already knew him. The whole process took less than half an hour. As soon as the five million yuan deposit was handed over, Chen Feng received the receipt.
Once the certificate is issued, Chen Feng can come and collect his mining qualification certificate by presenting the receipt.
Chen Feng got into the car, casually put the receipt into the handrail, and drove home.
While driving, Chen Feng turned on his phone, which played a recording.
"Are you really stupid or just pretending...?"
That was Xiahou's voice. He had recorded everything Xiahou had just said.
One should not have the heart to harm others, but one must be wary of others.
Moreover, Chen Feng always felt that Xiahou's attitude was strange.
Logically speaking, it would be normal for Xiahou to be either cold or warm towards him.
It's normal for such high-ranking leaders to look down on a nouveau riche like you. Chen Feng was already prepared to be looked down upon by these leaders.
If Xiahou is very enthusiastic towards him, that would be understandable, since Chen Feng will soon be the city's number one tax-collecting enterprise.
From both a moral and logical standpoint, this is only beneficial to Xiahou, with no drawbacks.
But Xiahou remained indifferent, only urging him to start mining and get things done quickly.
Although it's reasonable to do this for the sake of tax revenue or political achievements, Chen Feng still felt that something was off; everything was going too smoothly.
Hopefully, Chen Feng is just overthinking things. Of course, he has also prepared for the worst.
After driving home, Chen Feng immediately ordered the machines; he had already chosen those machines beforehand.
Once the electronic contract is signed and the money is transferred, the machine will be delivered in about seven days.
At the same time, Chen Feng began recruiting workers in the group chats of various villages.
It should be noted that after Chen Feng spread the news about the gold mine, the village chiefs of various villages approached him, indicating that they could help if needed, and even if they couldn't help, they wanted to get acquainted with Chen Feng.
"My mine will be opening soon and I will be hiring. The salary and benefits are as follows. If you are interested, you can come and contact me in person. I live in Xuri Village. You can find out more by asking around."
"We work ten hours a day, with a one-hour lunch break. The shifts are from 7 am to 6 pm, and the night shift is from 7 pm to 6 am. We work two shifts."
"Basic salary is 1,200 yuan, with two days off per month. If you choose not to take the days off, you will receive an extra 50 yuan per day, and a night shift allowance of 20 yuan."
"28 days of perfect attendance, plus 200 yuan, and lunch provided."
"We will distribute benefits at irregular times during holidays. Those who are interested will be interviewed at 9:00 AM tomorrow. The first batch will only recruit 50 people for now."
Chen Feng offered very generous compensation; if you could handle everything perfectly each month, your salary could reach 1,600 yuan.
The reason for recruiting now is that he needs to build prefabricated houses next to the land in a few days, as well as a canteen and a place to rest and work.
Whatever they do, let them get started first.
The news caused an uproar in the villages. If Chen Feng and his group hadn't been familiar with the area and knew that he had indeed discovered a gold mine, they would have suspected it was a scam.
The reason is simply that the benefits are too generous!
The total salary was so much; they never dared to dream of it before!
"Holy crap, is this for real? They're giving out so much money, am I seeing things?"
"It's true. I just confirmed it with the village chief. He said he just finished a phone call with Chen Feng to confirm. If the village chief didn't have a bad back, he would have wanted to do it himself."
"My God, I have to sign up for this! Does anyone have his phone number? I'd like to reserve a spot."
"Reservation my ass, didn't you see they have an interview tomorrow? Go and wait for them early tomorrow morning."
"Count me in! Damn it, who would go out to work if there was this kind of job? Don't even mention ten hours, I'd do it for fifteen hours!"
Meanwhile, Chen Feng, who sent the message, was still drinking tea at home, completely unaware of the situation he was about to face.
Twenty minutes later, a villager from the village came running to Chen Feng's house in a hurry, carrying two chicks.
"Fengzi, I haven't come to see you lately. Here are two chickens, take them. And which one do you want to keep? Count me in." The man put the chickens on the ground, scratched his head, and laughed.
"Hey, what are you doing? Quickly put the chicken away." Chen Feng was startled by the sight and quickly stood up to say.
What does this mean? Are they sending me a gift?
And what do you mean you haven't come to see me recently? We're not even that close. It seems like you haven't come to see me at all.
"It's alright, Fengzi, you can keep it. I have plenty more at home. I'll get you more when you've finished it." The man definitely wouldn't take it, and continued speaking.
"No, no, no, take it back quickly. I have plenty of chickens at home. Just come and register for that job tomorrow as usual. You don't need to go through any connections." Chen Feng stood up and forcefully stuffed the chicken into his hand.
"It's not Fengzi, you..." The man tried to put the chicken down, but Chen Feng pushed him out the door.
"Just come to register as usual tomorrow, no need for all this."
"Alright, Fengzi, I'll come early tomorrow." Seeing Chen Feng's firm attitude, the man could only say this while carrying the chicken.
"OK."
When Chen Feng returned to the house, he saw Liu Ping unable to hold back her laughter.
"Wow, people are giving you gifts now."
"Come on, stop doing all this useless stuff. Besides, I have a bad feeling about this..." Chen Feng lit a cigarette and spoke quietly.
Sure enough, Chen Feng's house had never been so lively before, and a group of people quickly arrived at Chen Feng's house.
"Fengzi, my son is still working in another city. Can you wait a month and save a spot for him?" said a boisterous old woman carrying some vegetables and eggs.
“Auntie, I can’t keep the position. If he’s interested, he can come for an interview. If he can’t leave for the time being, he can stay and work there. I’ll probably find someone else later,” Chen Feng said with a headache.
"Young man Feng, can I do that job you mentioned? You..." An old man, leaning on his cane, arrived at Chen Feng's house, trembling.
However, his steps were unsteady. He almost tripped and fell flat on his face before he could even step over the threshold. Chen Feng was quick enough to catch him.
"Grandpa, you're already this old, so don't worry about it. I run a mine, not a nursing home," Chen Feng sighed.
"I can do it! Cough cough..."
The old man looked up and shouted defiantly, his chest heaving violently from the force of his shout.
"Damn it, what are you doing? Go home now, you look really scary." Chen Feng helped him up and saw him out the door.
Chen Feng had just seen the old man off when an older woman arrived with her fifteen-year-old grandson.
"Fengzi, do you have any easy jobs at your mine? Find him one. This kid doesn't go to school every day, and I don't know what to do. I feel at ease knowing he'll be working at your mine."
"You can decide on the salary, a thousand a month is fine with me," the aunt said, pushing her grandson in front of Chen Feng.
