The convoy encountered an obstacle and everyone had nothing to do. Qin Shi originally wanted to discuss work ideas with Zeng Fan. After all, they were in the same group and would see each other all the time, so it wouldn't be good to be in a stalemate all the time.
But when he heard this, Zeng Fan thought that Qin Shi was making things difficult for him and arguing with him, so he simply called the geological survey personnel over.
"Start surveying the land beneath Team Leader Qin's feet now. Show Team Leader Qin how it is possible that there are no mineral deposits in this wilderness where you just casually stepped on it!"
Zeng Fan also got angry and actually confronted Qin Shi directly. When Qin Shi saw that Zeng Fan was so stubborn, he actually confronted him directly, and he didn't know how to explain it.
People of different eras have different biased views on things, but it is impossible for a young man to act in such an old-fashioned way.
It's just an example. What do you mean by bringing people to slap me in the face in public? I didn't say there was a mineral deposit under my feet. I was just stating the truth...
Qin Shi almost collapsed, Zeng Fan couldn't understand it either, and the surveying personnel didn't know the whole story. Seeing that Team Leader Zheng had made the arrangements and Team Leader Qin didn't say anything, they just did it.
Anyway, I am doing geological survey, it doesn’t matter where I work. The government pays me anyway, so I’ll get started!
"How long will it take to get preliminary survey results?"
"For the initial stage, one hour will be enough!"
"Hurry up, Team Leader Qin is still waiting for your results!"
Several technicians turned on the equipment and began to survey, take samples, detect, and capture data. Then, despite the heavy fog, they did their work in an efficient manner.
"Old Zeng, why are you so stubborn? Is that what the boss meant?" Wan Li couldn't stand it anymore. Logically speaking, this was a game between leaders and he shouldn't get involved. But Wan Li, who was also one of the princelings, couldn't stand Zeng Fan's seriousness.
"No, Wanli, don't get involved. I don't mean to disrespect Team Leader Qin. I just want to prove with facts that we can't do things based on assumptions. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!"
Wanli and Long Fei would watch from the side. Zeng Fan refused to listen, and the two of them did not dare to talk to Qin Shi, so they simply sat on the rock nearby and watched those people busy in the wilderness.
The technicians had no idea what they were doing. They were collecting soil, drilling into the ground to take samples, and all sorts of other things were buzzing around. What could there be in this wilderness? I didn't know what the leaders meant. Were they afraid that we would be idle?
"Are the two team leaders fighting? Let's really conduct the survey according to the standards!"
"Nonsense, no matter what the reason, we can't afford to offend either of the two team leaders, let's get to work!"
"What can we expect from this wilderness? It's a waste of effort! It's like the governor is allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps!"
"Shut up and work hard. You don't want your job anymore. You don't know who they are!"
“…”
The technicians were muttering to themselves, but they didn't stop working.
Half a day passed and several people began to conduct preliminary analysis of the samples, but the results surprised them.
"That's not right! Based on calculations of seismic waves, magnetic fields, and gravitational fields, this isn't the place where mineral deposits should be!"
"Yes, but preliminary survey data shows that the underground coal element is extremely high and the reserves are huge. It is very likely a giant coal mine!"
"What should I do? Should I tell you or not?"
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Normally, if they found a mineral deposit, even a small one, it would be worth showing off, but in this case... No one dared to be sure.
"Don't say anything you're not sure of. It's not good to offend anyone. Hurry back to the car and move the large equipment down!"
"This is the only way, brothers, let's work harder!"
Two hours passed in a flash, and instead of coming back, the technicians continued to move equipment into the wilderness, which made Zeng Fan upset.
Didn’t we agree that it would only take an hour? Why is it so slow?
"These technical guys are clueless. They actually went on an investigation. Why don't you just say there's no mineral deposit and shut Team Leader Qin up?"
Although Zeng Fan was dissatisfied with the slowness of the staff and his lack of understanding of the leader's intentions, he was not in a position to speak directly, so he had to wait by the side until dusk, when the fog began to dissipate and the technicians came back with the equipment and records.
"Why is it so slow? This is how we usually work." Zeng Fan, who came from the mining industry, expressed dissatisfaction with the work efficiency of several people.
"I'm sorry, Team Leader Zeng, Team Leader Qin, something unexpected happened, so we wasted some time!"
"Okay, the fog is almost gone, and we still have to get on with our journey. Just tell me the result!" Zeng Fan was a little impatient.
"According to preliminary investigations and secondary inspections, the land Team Leader Qin is standing on should contain a coal mine. And based on the existing data, the amount of ore should be quite large..."
As Zeng Fan's face gradually turned green, the technician's voice became lower.
"What? What nonsense are you talking about? You said there is a coal mine underneath?" Zeng Fan felt like he was dreaming.
"Yes, and the reserves should be quite large, but the specific reserves need to be surveyed in detail..."
"Are you sure? We must dig deep into the ground to get to the bottom of this!" Zeng Fan couldn't believe it.
"I've already dug three feet into the ground..."
After the two of them talked, not only Zeng Fan, but even Wanli and Long Fei beside them changed their expressions and didn't know what to say.
Zeng Fan and Qin Shi were arguing a while ago, insisting on an on-site inspection. General Wanli and General Long Fei had already been trying to smooth things over. General Long Fei went to persuade Zeng Fan, while General Wanli went to persuade Qin Shi. But the result...
Wanli and Long Fei looked up at Qin Shi, who was sitting on a rock in the distance, admiring the scenery. They didn't know what to say. Zeng Fan also had a bitter face. What the hell was going on?
The most embarrassing thing was the surveyors. In the past, whenever they found any signs and reported them, their leaders would be overjoyed. But why were these three people in the investigation team so strange? Why did they look so grim after listening to the report from the other team? What did this mean?
There was no other way. Wanli had to step forward and tiptoe to Qin Shi's side.
"Boss, you're still angry!"
"As for me, why should I be angry? Zeng Fan is just too dogmatic. I can't convince him. Let him do whatever he wants. The fog is getting thinner, so let's get ready to leave!" Qin Shi knew Zeng Fan's character, and secretly laughed at himself for actually arguing with Zeng Fan.
"Boss, it seems like we can't leave yet. Is there something unexpected?"
"Accident? What happened? The car broke down?" Qin Shi asked, looking at Wanli's embarrassed expression.
"No, the survey team surveyed this area and the preliminary conclusion is that there may be coal mines underground, and the amount seems to be quite large!" Wanli spoke slowly, fearing that if he spoke too quickly he would not believe it himself.
"What?"
Qin Shi was also confused. He had only given an example, and Zeng Fan had been overthinking it, but how could they actually have discovered a mineral deposit?
This joke is a bit too much!
