Chen Feng thought about it for a moment after hearing this. In fact, he understood what Huang Fei was saying. With Huang Fei's carefree and irresponsible personality, it would be really difficult for him to stay in one place for a long time.
Forcing him to go mining would be bad for neither of them.
"How about this, you drive the car. Once my mine is up and running, it won't just be in our village, it will be in other villages too."
“For those who live far away, we’ll definitely need to arrange a shuttle bus to pick them up. You can do that job.”
"At the same time, the canteen will go to the county to buy vegetables and so on. That's all your job."
What do you think of this?
Huang Fei was immediately delighted when he heard about the job.
"Okay, okay, I'll stick to my old job of driving. It's just picking people up and dropping them off, and buying groceries. I can do that."
Actually, it's hard to say which job is easier, this one or mining. If you're talking about starting work at eight, Zheng Ping and his colleagues can get up at seven-thirty, but Huang Fei, who drives the shuttle bus, has to get up at six.
They would drive around in circles, drop people off at their destinations, and then return them one by one at night.
I also had to drive to the county town to buy groceries, so it was quite a busy trip.
It's just that people have different strengths. If you ask Zheng Ping, he might not be able to do this job, but if you ask Huang Fei, he can handle it with ease.
"Then you can leave it at that for now. Everyone, don't rush to give me an answer. Go home and discuss it properly." Chen Feng said to Huang Fei, and then addressed the others.
He doesn't force anyone; as a friend he's worked with since the beginning, he'll definitely help them if he can, but whether they're willing to do so is another matter.
It's not that there aren't people like that; if you help them up, they'll feel like you're taking advantage of them.
Anyway, Chen Feng has a clear conscience, and the price is already quite reasonable.
"What are you still thinking about? I'm definitely going to do it." Zheng Ping said without hesitation.
With such a close proximity to home, I can hug my wife every day. What else could I possibly want?
Besides, I didn't have money before and didn't dare to have children, but now that I've made money, it's time to consider having children.
Zheng Ping had been thinking that he was only home for two days a month, and he couldn't take care of his pregnant wife, but he had no choice but to go out to earn more money.
Just when he was in a dilemma, this good thing came to him. How could Zheng Ping possibly hesitate?
"I did it too, what's there to hesitate about?"
"Me too, Fengzi, I'll do whatever you tell me to do."
"Yes, count me in!"
As everyone spoke up, they all nodded in agreement. Hesitating about something so good was foolish.
To put it bluntly, if Chen Feng hadn't intentionally given them a hand, he wouldn't have been so generous as to offer them such high salaries.
For the kind of work they do, they'd fight tooth and nail for two thousand, let alone six thousand.
They're not stupid; they know what's going on.
"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's settle on this for now, but I need to make some points clear first."
“Once mining starts, things won’t be like before, where you could do whatever you wanted.”
"I've been very kind to everyone, so please don't let me down. Don't be late, leave early, or slack off. That would be bad for us all."
Chen Feng said earnestly.
Although Chen Feng felt that none of them were the type to take advantage of knowing each other and try to cheat or cheat, he still had to be upfront about it.
Let's hope that day never comes; it will be difficult for everyone.
"Don't worry, Fengzi, none of us are that kind of person."
"Definitely. If that day ever comes, I won't even need you to tell me. I'll quit myself. I'll be too ashamed to do it anymore."
"Indeed, that would be like offering someone a favor and then refusing it. We would never do such a thing."
Upon hearing this, everyone reassured Chen Feng.
"Alright, alright, if there's nothing else, everyone should head back now. You've all been working so hard since you just got back, take a good rest, and come back to chat later," Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, we'll be going now."
Everyone greeted Chen Feng and then left one by one.
Chen Feng sat down and took the banana that Xia Yingying handed him.
"When are we eating?" Chen Feng asked.
"Let's wait a bit. Are you hungry?" Xia Yingying asked with a smile as she sat down.
"I'm hungry. It's my first time doing something this big, so I'm a little nervous," Chen Feng said, peeling a banana and putting it in his mouth.
That's what he said, but there was no sign of tension on Chen Feng's face. He seemed to think that opening a mine was as simple as buying vegetables at the market.
Only Chen Feng himself knew that these past few days, he had been holding Xia Yingying and couldn't fall asleep until very late, with countless plans and ideas flashing through his mind.
You basically have to reject dozens of options before you can settle on one.
"Don't worry, take it one step at a time, it'll be alright," Xia Yingying said softly, holding his hand.
"Mm." Chen Feng nodded, grasping her hand in return, hoping that none of his backup plans would be needed.
The news quickly reached the village chief's ears. At that moment, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a crash, and he stared blankly, his face full of shock.
"How...how could this be? Our village actually has a gold mine, and Chen Feng even managed to buy it?!" He stammered, his voice filled with disbelief.
"He's already in contact with those companies to discuss compensation," his wife said with a sigh, looking at the wine glass on the ground.
Once Chen Feng successfully secures the gold mine, his wealth and power will soar to unprecedented heights.
By then, he, the village chief, will be nothing compared to him.
He could easily be taken down by anyone he met.
"No, we can't let him book it. If he does, I'm finished." The village chief gripped his chopsticks tightly, his brow furrowed with deep worry and panic.
"Things have already developed to this point, how can you stop it? Can you even stop it?"
"Chen Feng is frighteningly meticulous. They've already started discussing compensation, and this news has only just been leaked."
"He made so many preparations beforehand, yet we didn't even have a single piece of information. He acted as if nothing had happened, showing no signs of anything amiss."
"The Chen family... they really have a fine son." The village chief's wife sighed repeatedly, having lost her appetite.
What can you do now that things have come to this? They'll finish negotiating the compensation tomorrow, sign the contract, and get the mining license.
The moment he got his hands on it, the matter was settled, and no one could do anything about it.
"No, I have to find a way to stop him. His license hasn't been issued yet, and as long as it hasn't been, there's still a chance!"
The village chief's mind raced, trying to figure out how to stop Chen Feng and ruin the whole thing.
"Don't even think about it, there's no way out. Just accept it. I knew this day would come sooner or later." The village chief's wife had already given up and shook her head as she spoke.
"No, they're talking about compensation now. As long as they can't reach an agreement on compensation, they can't keep the mine running!"
"I'm going to find them right now and figure out a way to make them refuse to sign this contract!"
