Chapter 3 Road Encounter Examination

  P.S: During the new book period, I'm seeking collection and recommendation! This book has been signed, so everyone can rest assured to follow up! Thank you!

  Xiao Wu disappeared when Yang Jie and Liu Min were talking, and it wasn't until after Liu Min left the house that Yang Jie hastily got out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked out of the bedroom. Feeling extremely hungry and weak all over, he didn't even go to the bathroom to wash up, but instead ran directly into the kitchen, took out the food Wang Yue'e had left for him, and began eating it in big mouthfuls.

  After finishing a big bowl of rice, Yang Jie still felt empty in his stomach. Looking at the empty high-pressure cooker, he was depressed and washed the bowls and chopsticks before running to the bathroom to wash up.

  "Brother Jie, you've only eaten this little food, the biological energy converted is not even enough for Little Five to use, how can others have the strength to help you?" Little Five suddenly appeared in Yang Jie's eyes, hugging his stomach with both hands, looking like he was about to die of hunger, making Yang Jie, who had just come out of the bathroom, almost vomit blood.

  "Emotions just now I ate so much, all for you to eat? No wonder I said how come I'm still so hungry, it turns out you're the one playing tricks!" Yang Jie thought about the big bowl of rice he had eaten earlier, even if it was usual, during university military training, after running 5 kilometers cross-country, he hadn't eaten that much.

  "Others are hungry too! Besides, Xiao Wu is a variable substance-type intelligent light brain. In order for the system to run, it naturally needs energy. Now that I'm parasitic on you and have become your little housekeeper, the required energy must be extracted from you, of course. So, can you eat another 100 bowls of that food?" Xiao Wu asked Yang Jie with a pitiful expression, placing her hands on her chest and lightly tapping her index fingers together.

  "One hundred bowls!? You think I'm a pig or something! Even if I were a pig, I couldn't eat that much in one sitting!" Yang Jie blurted out as soon as he heard Xiao Wu's suggestion.

  Damn it! One hundred bowls of rice, let alone whether Yang Jie can finish them, even if he could, at this rate of consumption, even if he had a mountain of gold and silver, it wouldn't be enough to fill his belly! Moreover, Yang Jie doesn't even have a mountain of gold and silver!

  "Brother Jie, if I don't eat enough, the system won't be able to function properly and Xiao Wu won't be able to help you with various tasks. Moreover, one hundred bowls of rice converted into biological energy is only one-thousandth of what's needed for the system to function normally, just enough to start it up......" Xiao Wu said, seeing Yang Jie's face getting darker and darker, suddenly stopped talking, looking like he had done something wrong, carefully watching Yang Jie.

  "Dude's got hands and feet, IQ isn't low either, can take care of himself in life and work, can discuss things with him, won't you?" Yang Jie said with wide eyes, looking at Xiao Wu.

  Xiao Wu's face changed upon hearing this, and his previous grievances instantly turned into anger. He pointed at Yang Jie with a slender hand, his expression flustered, and said loudly: "Sorry! The system has already been bound, it can't be changed again, just accept your fate!"

  Damn it! Isn't this robbery?! Without Yang Jie's permission, Xiao Wu privately bound the system and it can't be reversed. Thinking about having to eat 100 bowls of rice for every meal from now on, Yang Jie couldn't help but tremble with fear in his heart. Is this still considered living?

  "However..." Xiao Wu's furious face calmed down, looking at the somewhat depressed Yang Jie, and said seriously: "When you don't need system assistance, you can turn off the system through thinking and voice commands. That way, the system won't drain your body's biological energy."

  Yang Jie was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "You could have told me earlier that you can shut down the system! You got Yang Jie worried that he would become a useless person from now on."

  Looking at the little five standing in front of him, Yang Jie silently recited the words to shut down the system. The little five that had been flickering in his eyes suddenly disappeared after he silently recited the words to shut down the system. Without the little five, Yang Jie felt refreshed and invigorated, his spirit lifted.

  He patted his still hungry belly, then Yang Jie took out his wallet from his pocket and looked at it. There were more than 300 yuan left. Only then did he pick up the key to open the door and walk out of Liu Daxing's house.

  Fuxin Tungsten Mine belongs to Jiangnan Province Nonferrous Metals Company, a state-owned tungsten mine extraction unit. The mine is located in Fuxin Town, Xunhe County, and has more than 20,000 employees and family members inside the mine. It is the largest state-owned enterprise within Xunhe County.

  The head of the tungsten mine and the secretary are both at the deputy department level, with the same rank as the county party secretary and county magistrate of Huaihe County. They do not belong to the local government in terms of administration and business, so the tungsten mine is relatively independent in Huaihe County. In addition, before the 1990s, workers had a higher social status, and the wages of tungsten miners were also higher than those of government employees. Therefore, the streets on top of Fuxin Tungsten Mine are very prosperous, with all industries thriving.

  The tungsten mine, which requires the livelihood of over 20,000 people, has given birth to the economic prosperity of Fuxin Tungsten Mine. The families of employees in Fuxin Tungsten Mine have opened various shops on several streets in the urban area where the mine is located. There are many types of shops and a wide range of goods, almost every industry can be found on these streets. Therefore, people from nearby towns like to come to Fuxin Tungsten Mine to go shopping when they need something.

  To some extent, even the county seat of Wolong County, Chengguan Town, is not as prosperous and thriving as Fuxin Town. Yang Jie, who grew up in a tungsten mine, has a deep understanding of this.

  Yang Jie walked out of the dormitory building for new employees in the first industrial district, and strolled down a small alley to Weng Mine Construction Road, thinking of finding a restaurant to have another meal. Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived at Construction Road, he saw a large crowd of people surrounding several blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, as well as several officials who looked like leaders, slowly walking towards him. Several police officers in uniform were scattered around the perimeter, keeping watch.

  On both sides of the wide cement road, there were crowds of people watching the excitement. In a place like Fuxin Town, foreigners are not often seen, especially those from nearby towns and villages, who looked at the few foreigners with fingers pointing and whispering to each other, just like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.

  Yang Jie is a graduate of Yanjing University, and has lived in the capital city of Yanjing for four years. He has seen many foreigners and does not feel even a hint of fear or curiosity towards these blonde-haired, blue-eyed outsiders, nor does he feel inferior to them. Ignoring the plainclothes police officers staring at him, he walks calmly towards the boxed meal restaurant ahead.

  "Yang Jie!"

  A loud and clear call came from among that group of people, directly stopping Yang Jie who was about to leave.

  Yang Jie heard the sound and turned his head to look over, only to see Zhou Dalong, the county party secretary of Tongjiang County, standing beside those foreigners, beckoning him to come over.

  Zhou Dalong was the old superior of Yang Jie's father, Yang Xinhua. When Yang Xinhua was promoted to platoon leader, Zhou Dalong was already company commander. When Yang Xinhua became company commander, Zhou Dalong was battalion commander. Later, at the Lao Shan front line, Zhou Dalong was again Yang Xinhua's superior officer, and the two had a comradeship of over ten years.

  After that battle, Yang Xinhua was wounded and transferred to another industry. During the large-scale downsizing of the army, Zhou Dalong also retired from the military and returned to his hometown. Unexpectedly, a few years later, Zhou Dalong, who had become the county head in a neighboring county, was transferred to Yuhang County as the Secretary of the County Committee.

  After Zhou Dalong came to work in Yanjiang County, Yang Jie followed Yang Xinhua to visit Zhou Dalong's home every year for the New Year. The two families had a very good relationship behind closed doors. Before Yang Jie graduated, Yang Xinhua mentioned Yang Jie's job to this old leader, which is also why Yang Jie returned to work in the county after graduating from university and didn't worry at all even though it hadn't been settled for almost a week.

  The secretary Zhou called, the few police officers responsible for security on the periphery, how dare they block, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes, looking at this young man walking quickly to the front of Zhou Dalong and several other leaders.

  "Hello Secretary! Good afternoon, leaders!"

  Yang Jie, about 1.78 meters tall, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and dark blue trousers, with a well-proportioned figure, long limbs, and a small flat head, looked handsome and elegant, with wisdom in his eyes, standing in front of Zhou Daliang, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant, respectfully greeting Zhou Daliang and several other leaders.

  Zhou Dalong looked at Yang Jie, with a hint of approval in his eyes, and smiled as he introduced him to the two men and one woman beside him: "This is Yang Jie, who was assigned to work in our city this year from Yanjing University. I specially came to the city to request that the leaders assign him to our county. His father is a heroic warrior, Yang Xinhua, who has been awarded two First-Class Merits and three Second-Class Merits. County Head Zhang and Secretary Lei should have heard of him."

  "Yang Xinhua is a fighting hero of our county, we not only know him but also often meet him. He is the director of Huanghe Wine Factory in Huanghe Township, a collective enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy. Under his leadership, not only did the wine factory revive, but its efficiency has been getting better and better every year, becoming one of the largest taxpayers in our county. He is an invaluable talent for operation and management! Now seeing Little Yang, I realize that the saying 'the father is a hero, the son is a good man' is not empty words!" Lei Shuping is the deputy secretary in charge of economic and industrial work in Huanghe County, and he is one of Zhou Dalong's people. He knows about the relationship between Zhou Dalong and Yang Xinhua, so when Zhou Dalong mentions Yang Xinhua, he immediately responds with praise.

  Zhang Dashan had also met Yang Xinhua. Although in the county, he and Zhou Dalong were like fire and water, but towards Yang Xinhua, he was very appreciative. As a former war hero and now a successful entrepreneur, he was able to turn around a bankrupt winery, making it prosperous and paying tens of thousands of yuan in taxes every year, which made County Head Zhang Dashan quite fond of him.
