That evening, while the group was having dinner out, the project manager received a phone call.
Chi Yuan was engrossed in scrolling through his WeChat Moments. He had already looked at this post he made today at least thirty times.
"Okay, okay, we'll definitely be there tomorrow."
The project manager happily said goodbye to the other party.
"Boss, boss, we won the bid!!"
"Really?"
The marketing manager immediately put down his chopsticks, feeling that the surprise had come unexpectedly.
"Yes, they said that after extensive research, they felt that Wenhan Technology Company was the most suitable."
"They're calling us over at 10 a.m. tomorrow to prepare for the signing of documents."
The project manager was overjoyed and even popped a shrimp into the mouth of his assistant.
"I thought there were still a few companies involved, and that it wouldn't be so quick to get results."
"I didn't expect it to be so fast."
The assistant reached out to the shopkeeper and asked for a dozen beers, which he then tore open and distributed to everyone as a celebratory drink.
"Never mind, we've taken it down anyway, which proves that the people of Mo Family Village have good judgment."
The project manager opened the beer bottle and held up two fingers with such confidence.
Chi Yuan led the clapping and said what made everyone present happiest.
"Everyone's year-end bonus will be increased by 30% this year."
"The boss is so generous! Thank you! Thank you! Boss!"
Everyone raised their beers and cheered, wishing they could leave a few short comments on Chi Yuan's WeChat Moments today.
How could they possibly know that their beloved boss would be kidnapped tomorrow?
...
The next day, everyone hurriedly boarded motorcycles and arrived at Mojia Village.
The assistant even booked everyone's return tickets on the way.
"Manager, I stayed up all night reviewing the contract eight times yesterday. There are absolutely no mistakes."
The intern assistant patted her chest and assured me that she was unusually excited today because the marketing manager said he would give her a permanent position, hahaha!
She'll also get a share of this year's year-end bonus!
Just like their hectic preparations, the people of Mojia Village were also quickly preparing the offerings for tonight.
"A rope, a rope that can be tied tightly, so he can't break free and run away."
"That boat, a smaller one would be better."
"Also, prepare plenty of incense and candles. We'll be offering incense and prayers by the river; we need a lot."
The clan elders directed everyone to move their belongings to the riverbank and to the secluded little houses.
"Is the sleeping powder ready?"
A young man came up, huffing and puffing, carrying a bamboo basket on his back.
"Don't worry, Dad. The dose I ground is enough to knock out a pig, let alone a tiny human."
He stretched out his hand and gestured as if he was "holding" something.
"If anything goes wrong, you will go down in his place and become the River God's bride."
His father always thought he was too confident.
"They're here, they're here."
Someone ran up and shouted loudly. Several elders immediately ran up to him. The young man took out a small bag from his basket and followed them to the tea room.
At first, everyone thought he was just an ordinary host, and no one thought much of it.
Conference room.
"This is a preliminary document drafted by our Wenhan Group. Please take a look and see if there are any changes needed."
The project manager took out his tablet computer, ready to modify the document at any time.
The elders' palms were already sweating, and they watched intently as they gathered together.
"Come on, everyone, have some water."
The young man carried a tray and distributed water cups to everyone, handing the first cup to Chi Yuan.
Half an hour later, everyone looked up again.
"No problem, let's leave it at that."
As the old man handed over the documents, he glanced at the water in the pond a few times, then wiped the cold sweat from his nose with his sleeve.
Chi Yuan has always had the habit of tactically drinking water when discussing business, so his cup is now more than half empty.
However, after this incident, he will probably never dare to drink water handed to him by strangers again.
"Okay, if there are no problems, we can sign and put our fingerprints on it."
