"Have a cigarette, take a break before we talk. We'll be done soon. If it weren't for this situation, I would have treated you to a meal after you've been working for me all morning," Chen Feng said, offering cigarettes.
"I understand, I understand, we understand." One of the numbered men took the cigarette and said with emotion, his eyes even revealing a feeling of being in Cao Cao's camp but his heart was with Han.
Brother, we have different stances, we have no choice but to do this!
They were smoking and drinking on one side, and Chen Feng was already chatting with them, while on the other side they were all slouching and sitting on their riot shields as cushions.
They watched Chen Feng and his group drinking beverages, chatting, and smoking, and for some reason, they felt a little envious.
They're so free! And they even have drinks to drink. They're thirsty too!
When the land bureau leaders saw this, their faces darkened. "Seriously? Whose people are you working for? How did you end up chatting like this?!"
You guys are so easily swayed by a bottle of soda and a cigarette?!
The key point is, Chen Feng, you little bastard, why don't you at least give me a bottle? I've been standing here all morning, I'm thirsty too.
Little did they know, people are afraid of comparisons. Although it seemed that Chen Feng had only given out a bottle of drink and a cigarette, which were not worth much, there were also those who didn't even give out a bottle of water.
The difference is obvious.
"Hurry up and get to work, don't rest."
Before Chen Feng could even urge him, the leaders of the land bureau became unhappy.
Whether it was his complaint about not getting a drink or his displeasure at the fact that his own people were fighting so fiercely with the enemy, he was just very unhappy, which is why he impatiently urged them on.
Chen Feng and the others ignored him, some drinking water and others smoking.
They were already resentful, and the pressure from the land bureau leaders only fueled their anger.
Damn it, Chen Feng hasn't even urged you, and you're already urging him? Are you in such a hurry?
If you're in such a hurry, then do it yourself instead of just talking.
Just as the saying goes, all leaders are idiots.
Seeing that they were unmoved by his words, the land bureau leader was furious inside, but he couldn't show it on the surface, since so many people were watching, and besides, he hadn't even made a mistake in the first place.
"Oh shit."
He muttered a curse under his breath, but he couldn't stand it any longer, so he simply went back to his car and sat down. It's just cigarettes, everyone has them.
There were so many people around just now, it wouldn't have been appropriate to smoke there directly, but it's fine to smoke in the car now.
It wasn't until after 1 a.m. that all the work was finally finished. Chen Feng clasped his hands in thanks to the group and said, "Thank you all for your help today. We'll meet again someday!"
"Until we meet again."
"goodbye."
"Bye-Bye."
The land bureau leaders watched this scene with gritted teeth and burning with hatred.
Damn it, you guys are still so reluctant to leave. Why don't you just stick with him? What the hell are you doing back here?
"Let's go!" The land bureau leader waved his hand, and the group of them hurriedly got into the car and headed back to report their findings.
"Let's go back too. Lock all the doors to the prefab houses and turn the electricity back on, so they don't get stolen when we come back tomorrow," Chen Feng instructed.
"It's connected. I can see it on my monitor. It's fine," Chen Jianguo replied, looking at his phone.
"Brother Feng, what do we do next? Are we really just going to hand over the gold mine to someone else?" Lin Nian asked reluctantly, looking at the gold mine.
"Don't worry, this gold mine will be mine sooner or later. Just listen to my advice." Chen Feng chuckled and walked into the car without any concern.
Meanwhile, Xiahou and Xu Guang also received the news.
"So quick, and he didn't even resist?" Xu Guang said in surprise.
After thinking for a moment, Xiahou roughly understood what was going on.
"Hmph, seeing how loudly he was shouting, I thought he really wasn't afraid."
"Unexpectedly, he turned out to be all show and no substance, all looks and no action, and he chickened out when it came to the real test."
"The mine has been cleared out now, and you can start arranging work tomorrow."
"Chen Feng is nothing special."
Xiahou looked at Xu Guang with disdain for Chen Feng.
“When will the certificate be issued? I’m afraid he’ll stop me if I enter now,” Xu Guang said thoughtfully.
"It will be ready the day after tomorrow. Just bring your certificate," Xiahou replied.
"Okay, I'll arrange the work tomorrow and have the village chiefs notify everyone in the group chat."
"I'll send someone to recruit the day after tomorrow to see how many people we can hire." Xu Guang nodded, the plan taking shape in his mind.
Sure enough, the next day, the village chiefs of each village sent out a notice in the group chat.
"The new mine has been taken over by Xu Guang, an entrepreneur appointed by the city. They will be recruiting workers at the mine tomorrow. Those who are interested can go and register."
"Salary is tentatively set at two thousand a month, with bonuses paid irregularly, and two days off per month."
Xu Guang didn't care about the salary at all, as long as he could recruit people. Once the mine stabilized, he would find various reasons to cut wages until they reached the minimum standard.
For them, this was simply the most routine procedure.
Because Chenfeng Village lacks a village head, the brigade accountant is temporarily responsible for sending the notices.
Chen Feng naturally saw the news as well.
"That's quite a high offer, two thousand a month?" Xia Yingying said, leaning on Chen Feng's shoulder and looking at her phone.
“You could ask him for three thousand now, and he’d be willing. Anyway, in a few months, he can decide how much he pays.” Chen Feng had already seen through their intentions.
"So what are you going to do now? Can you still call on the villagers not to go? I'm afraid even if you do, it won't make much of a difference," Xia Yingying said with a sigh.
When it comes to profit, what does face matter? Besides, even if you tell the villagers that once the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked, they might not understand.
"Why would I call on them? I never intended to stop them."
As Chen Feng spoke, he sent Li Chunlai a WeChat message, asking him to bring some people to his house, as he already had a plan.
Upon receiving the news, Li Chunlai immediately led his men to Chen Feng's home.
"Brother Feng, I saw the message in the group. What should we do? Should I send someone to warn these villagers not to go?" This was the only solution Li Chunlai could think of for the time being.
"No, no, no, why are you stopping them? Let whoever wants to go go."
"What you'll be doing tomorrow is blending into the crowd, like this..."
When Chen Feng told Li Chunlai about his plan, Li Chunlai was immediately amazed!
Holy crap, is this even possible?!
"Brother Feng, holy crap, you're too ruthless! You actually thought of this method? This is practically a suicide attack!" Li Chunlai was completely dumbfounded.
Everyone says he's the biggest rogue, but compared to Chen Feng, he's practically a good boy. You could give him a hundred years and he still wouldn't have come up with this idea.
"Brother Feng, my admiration for you is like a surging river, never-ending. This method is absolutely amazing!" Huang Mao exclaimed in amazement.
