Chapter 80 Finding Master Li to Temporarily Overcome the Difficulties
He smiled and said, "President Ning is truly adept at reading people's hearts; it's good that you can see the current situation clearly. However, I really dare not accept this silver. Although this mine is under my control, I may not be able to start operations. What will happen if I do start operations? I do not yet know."
"Please ask Zhao Jia Liulang to go back and tell Chairman Ning that this silver should be temporarily registered under the chairman's name, but it is fine to take it out when the governor takes office."
Although he didn't take it, Zhao Liu had already clearly heard the word he said.
He smiled and said, "That's fine. Also, the president is very supportive of Lord Xiao's mining, and said that if there are not enough people, our Shanggu Zhai can provide manpower!"
Finally, batch after batch left.
Xiao Yinhe became famous for no apparent reason.
He inexplicably gained the support of the people.
Everyone says he is a good official.
He smiled bitterly, a bittersweet feeling rising in his throat. This was the culmination of ten years of hard study, now he had achieved fame and recognition throughout the land!
He truly hadn't expected that a woman would bring about his official reputation.
Who the hell can I reason with?
He never expected that a woman would become his benefactor!
He now truly admires Su Jingge immensely.
They felt that everything they did was advantageous.
Even if this fails, he wouldn't feel sorry for him even if he died.
-
Xiao Yinhe wasn't the only one who was popular; Su Jingge's restaurant was also packed with people.
The restaurant staff are already overwhelmed with work.
Standing on the rooftop, Su Jingge watched the people coming and going and smiled. He said that he never believed in anything until he accomplished something, but once he did it well, he would be the master of a new path.
Everyone will step aside, and everyone will follow their lead.
It's either success or failure!
When you do the right thing, the world will make way for you.
Mining can begin now.
But even if you get the materials now, you can't have them immediately.
It will take at least 10 days to half a month.
But this project cannot be stopped.
We are still running out of materials!
We've borrowed from everyone in the city who could, and now probably no one has any large materials.
But who has the materials?
She overheard people downstairs saying how beautiful the plants were at Master Li's place and that they wanted to buy them, but Master Li wouldn't sell them to them.
Suddenly, she thought of Li Yuanwailang.
He must have had large tools to build his mansion!
The scale was impressive; the eaves and corridors resembled those of a small palace.
Her eyes lit up with joy, and she clapped her hands.
I'm going to borrow from Master Li, but I promised him a position last time, and I haven't found it yet. It seems a bit unreasonable to go empty-handed to borrow from him.
She now needs to find plants; only by catering to their preferences might she have a glimmer of hope.
The plants he wanted all grew in the mountains. Li Yuanwai had entrusted them to his uncle, but his uncle couldn't find them at all.
Even with a reward of over a thousand taels of silver offered by Xiao Linyuan, he still hasn't found it.
I had to find the plants myself.
So she told Xiao Linyuan about it.
Xiao Linyuan thought it was a good idea.
-
The two immediately headed to Xishan.
Start walking at dusk, and even if the mountain path is difficult, we must find it!
It was pitch black at night; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
The two walked side by side.
We left, almost overnight, stopping and starting along the way.
It was almost dawn when the two finally found it.
They were very lucky and found the Cave-Dwelling Grass.
The plant stems are deep blue at night, and the stamens glow like many tiny light bulbs hanging on them.
"Haha, we've found the Cave-Dwelling Grass. It blooms like a golden lamp in the night and only blossoms between dawn and dusk."
She had seen it in her previous life as well.
Xiao Linyuan asked, "How did you know that?"
Su Jingge smiled: "Is it wrong because I have more experience?"
The two also enjoyed the sunrise.
As the sun rises, golden light breaks through the dawn, and the golden mountains are draped in rosy clouds, resembling a red dragon lying on the waves.
The pine breeze brushes away the morning mist, and the shadows of seagulls cut through the golden light.
"It's so beautiful!"
"The golden mountain remains ever young, the sunrise is ever new, all things are poetry, and the heart is clear and bright!"
Su Jingge couldn't help but say.
The two descended the mountain.
Su Jingge had no time to rest and went straight to Master Li's place.
The man happened to be home.
I just got back.
However, the man was having breakfast when Su Jingge heard this and slapped her forehead. Wasn't this abrupt?
I should have come later.
The servants ushered her inside.
Master Li invited her to eat together.
She had dark circles under her eyes and mud on the hem of her clothes.
Looking at the plant, the roots and stems are still moist, indicating that it was recently dug up.
He smiled and waved his hand dismissively: "President Su came to see me not just to have breakfast with me, right?"
Su Jingge pursed her lips: "As expected, nothing can escape Master Li's discerning eyes. I do have a request to make today."
"Master Li must have already heard that the mines in the west of the city are ready for operation."
"It just takes time to extract the minerals."
"The only thing left to finish is the road surface in the west of the city. I need the tools..."
The man looked at the woman with clear eyes: "So you're bribing me with this position?"
He played with the plant in his hand: "I really like it."
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Assistant Manager Su."
"But I don't have the raw materials you need here."
Su Jingge quickly shook her head: "Master Li, you've misunderstood. I didn't come to ask you for raw materials; I wanted to borrow your tools..."
Li Jingyi paused for a moment, then laughed heartily: "It seems that Assistant Manager Su knows that I have tools here?"
She pursed her lips: "It's just that I noticed your residence is built differently from other people's residences, like those small palaces in Chang'an City... so I guessed that Master Li might have some tools... so I shamelessly asked to borrow them."
Li Jingyi admired the plant: "This Cave-Ming Grass is rare, just like Assistant Manager Su. He is a rare find. Since you have already asked, how can I not lend it to you?"
"Besides, you are making contributions to the county, which is a good thing. The people know that I, Li, might even become famous, just like Xiao Yinhe."
“Miss Su is a celebrity in the county now. If you can get on her good side, your luck will definitely soar.”
Su Jingge smiled shyly: "Master Li is too kind. I am far inferior to Master Li in reputation."
A smile spread across Li Jingyi's eyes: "Since Miss Su thinks so highly of me, how could I refuse?"
He glanced at his servants and said, "Prepare all the tools!"
Su Jingge immediately stood up, her eyes filled with gratitude. She bowed and made a gesture of respect with her hands clasped: "Thank you for saving me, Master Li. Once the place is repaired, I guarantee you will be the first one to appear on the honor roll."
Li Jingyi stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes gentle: "It seems I hold a very important place in your heart, haha, then I'll be looking forward to it."
Su Jingge added, "You are so charming and elegant; you must be the heart of every girl."
"I won't need these tools for long. Once the ore is mined, I will immediately manufacture more tools and return them to you in full!"
“Miss, you don’t need to be so polite. You can use it without worry. I’m not planning to build two houses yet.”
Su Jingge smiled and said, "If Master Li really builds a second building, I will definitely come to help, and I won't charge you any money."
"Okay, then it's settled!"
-
Su Jingge left the mansion.
She was really afraid that Master Li wouldn't lend her the money.
People need to be famous!
