Chapter 24: Desire Temperature (Middle)

  After the confidential negotiations with these leaders were concluded, several people began to chat hypocritically and even started drinking.

  At this time, the county party secretary walked onto the balcony to answer a phone call. Gao Zhongyong was unable to hear what the secretary was saying. Only ten minutes later, when the secretary returned, did Gao Zhongyong notice that the secretary's gaze towards him no longer held the same warmth and friendliness as before. He vaguely felt that something was amiss, but his mind, still basking in the afterglow of excitement, couldn't quite put its finger on what that feeling was; all he knew was that a faint sense of unease had begun to simmer beneath the surface.

  Twenty minutes later, a man walked into the room and those leaders stood up to greet him as "Chairman Wang", introducing him to Gao Zhongyong as a very influential figure who held a certain position.

  Chairman Wang walked up to him, extended his hand proactively, and although Gao Zhiyong was extremely puzzled in his heart about how he suddenly appeared at this secret gathering involving countless wealth, he had no choice but to calm down and greet Chairman Wang politely.

  Chairman Wang's thick and sturdy hands were soft and warm, and his wise eyes made Gao Zhixing, who was still a bit tense, suddenly relax all over, feeling quite refreshed.

  Everyone was making polite conversation, and Chairman Wang also kindly asked about Gao Zhiyong's personal situation, showing great interest. After a while, Chairman Wang ordered Liu Erxi and the two leaders to leave, then his eyes suddenly became stern, staring fiercely at Gao Zhiyong's eyes without any mercy. He said severely: "Playing with fire? Mr. Gao, how long do you think you can keep playing? Do you think you can play for a long time? Hmm?! Fire, is it yours to play with? What makes you think you can play?"

  Gao Zhiyong's instincts were startled by Chairman Wang! His eyes suddenly became disordered, and his mind was even more confused, thinking: Playing with fire? What does it mean? Why did he say this to me? Is he talking to me? He is a celebrity and a leader, how can he talk to me like that, a billionaire?

  Just as he was thinking about how to respond, Chairman Wang's tone became even more severe: "Do you think you have the ability to deceive those above and below, left and right? You are simply a stupid thing blinded by **!"

  Gao Zhongyong's whole body trembled, and he suddenly felt a chill of fear that invaded his heart, entering all his blood vessels. Chairman Wang's severe rebuke was like a bomb exploding in his brain, every word detonating:

  "Longbiao, your chairman, invited you to host his charity event in Shancheng, but he never asked you to look for gold mines or use the water reservoir project as an excuse to mine for gold! He never authorized you to cooperate with them to exploit this gold mine! You are deceiving everyone! You pretended to be Longbiao's delegate and deceived Liu Erxi and county leaders, using Longbiao's power and influence to intimidate them, making them cautious about your background, so they wouldn't dare to reject you. This way, you can safely occupy 50% of the gold shares. You are pretending to have Longbiao's backing, trying to deceive everyone, thinking you can get away with it for how long? How long can you keep deceiving people? You are a greedy and shameless scoundrel!"

  This sounded like a thunderclap on a clear day to Gao Zhìyǒng! He really didn't dare imagine that Chairman Wang would know all his secret thoughts! Instantly, his face turned deathly pale! Not a single trace of blood color was left, his lips trembled, completely unsure how to refute Chairman Wang!

  Chairman Wang looked at the county party secretary, who gazed back at him with great respect. Then, in a rich, magnetic and peculiar tone, he slowed down his speech and said to Gao Zhīyǒng: "Gao Zhīyǒng, Gao Zhīyǒng......" Gao Zhīyǒng involuntarily responded with a low hum in his throat, as if unconsciously raising his head slightly.

  Gao Zhìyǒng saw the light in that room reflecting off Chairman Wang's deep pupils, shining like gold dust on a gold ore, gradually turning into countless stars hanging in the dark, mysterious night sky, infinitely profound and distant. He felt this profundity enveloping him like seawater, himself floating on its surface, no, rather, he was in the midst of this boundless sea, seeing an infantile version of himself playing freely, laughing, singing, and frolicking in the waves that brought him unparalleled comfort... Returned to his mother's embrace... How safe, how peaceful, how joyful... Everything else had ceased to exist... Only this infinitely warm and comforting embrace remained...

  There seemed to be a faint, ethereal voice asking him: "Do you have evidence... to support the existence of high-grade gold mines in Xiongshan? When you built that road from Tianlei Township to Dafeng Village and this road around the reservoir dam, didn't you blast a lot of rocks? Why haven't you ever discovered anything unusual?"

  What a melodious and penetrating sound, every cell in the body heard this thoroughly relaxing voice that dispelled all tension. This is the magical heavenly music, this is the loving concern of motherhood... Gao Zhiyong's joyful response: "Yes... I had previously conducted basic geological surveys for the construction of dams in Xiongshan... and collected local geological data... Xiongshan is located on the eastern edge of the third uplift zone of the Xinhuaxia structural system... From a geological perspective, the entire mountain city has a complex structure... with outcrops from the Precambrian to the Quaternary... including sandstone, siliceous rocks, quartz sandstone, gray-black carbonaceous slate, powder sandstone, plate-like phyllite, and igneous rocks... presenting arc-shaped structures, letter-shaped structures, spiral structures, and east-west trending structures... A total of 32 kinds of minerals that can be developed have been found in the mountain city, including non-ferrous metal deposits such as antimony, copper, tungsten, tin, arsenic, lead-zinc, and gold... However, gold deposits are only found in the southern and western parts of the mountain city, specifically in the Yonghua Town, Shuanshui Township, and Shancun areas, where primary gold deposits and placer gold have been discovered in the Sinian quartz veins... In the past, geological exploration has never found evidence of high-grade gold deposits in Xiongshan... Therefore, based on common sense and geological data, there is no evidence to support the existence of extremely high-grade gold deposits in this area... Although it does not have the typical geological characteristics of ordinary gold deposits, I suspect that the previous surveys were inaccurate... Because nature's craftsmanship is beyond human understanding, magical treasures often defy conventional geological structures and common sense... However, just from this piece of ore, which was only 3-4 meters deep on the surface and cleverly wrapped in other rocks, it can be seen that there must be multiple mineral veins hidden within the mountain body... Judging from the gold sand extracted earlier, the content is terrifyingly high, indicating that there must be a large amount of natural dog-headed gold within the mountain body. This is an incredibly unique gold mountain! It's a magical and mysterious treasure trove!

  The voice asked again: "Don't you think this is a bit strange?"

  "This voice continued: 'Then how much of this carbon deposit do you think is stored in Xiongshan?'"

  The voice said: "Then what are you going to do?" This work is 16k net exclusive text version, first published, without permission shall not be reproduced, excerpted, more latest fastest chapter, please visit .16!

  "Stop the dam construction! Don't let anyone approach! We'll secretly mine it! To continue secretly mining gold, we must stop the dam construction and not allow anyone to excavate rocks on the mountain! Only this way can we prevent others from interfering, prevent them from finding veins in other places, and prevent them from discovering this secret!"

  The voice continued: "Isn't Long Bao a billionaire with great influence? Wouldn't it be better for you to cooperate with him than with these leaders? Why don't you tell this secret to Long Bao?"

  "Ah, why shouldn't I tell him? Why should I still keep it from him?... No, no, no! Why should I tell him? Why should I tell him? He's already a billionaire, but I'm not! And I want to be a billionaire too! This is a mountain of gold, a mountain that can make me an instant billionaire! I can immediately bid farewell to my fate of being employed by others and become my own master, giving Lingling and the two kids a life of luxury, never having to worry about money again for the rest of my life!... In Tianlei Village, everyone is superstitious, saying that Longbiao's success is due to the good feng shui of Xiongshan. Longbiao is extremely superstitious, and refining gold will produce a large amount of potassium cyanide waste liquid... which is highly toxic and will severely damage the environment, causing an ecological disaster... If I tell him this secret, he definitely won't do such a thing in his hometown. He's so rich and smart, he can easily make billions with just a thought, why would he destroy the peace and feng shui of his hometown for the gold in this mountain?... Moreover, what benefit would I get from helping him? He wouldn't make me a billionaire! His only thought is to leave a good name in the hearts of the poor villagers, if they become rich, who will still revere him with fear and respect? He must be ordering me to keep it a secret!"

  The voice said: "If you want to secretly mine gold, you must stop building the reservoir. Stopping the construction of the reservoir is a big deal, how will you explain it to the people at the command center?"

  Gao Zhiyong replied: "I said that there are hidden dangers of dumb cannons and blasting workers getting injured, the reservoir will naturally stop construction..."

  "Since you also know that this secret cannot be known to the villagers, nor can it be known to the people at the command center, and even more so, cannot be known to Longbiao, then I'll tell you, stopping the reservoir construction will definitely alert the two financial personnel sent by Longbiao at the command center, as well as the deputy director who has certain supervisory functions. Your excuse can only delay the construction of the reservoir for a few days, and after a few days, you will inevitably be questioned by them. And how will you conceal your mining equipment and hidden mining facilities? ...If you cannot find new excuses to convince them, they will definitely report to Longbiao! How will you explain to Longbiao then? ...How can you prevent others from suspecting your halt of the reservoir construction and the secret gold mining? And how can you keep this secret from being discovered by them during the mining process?"

  The voice suddenly became a thunderous explosion, like the heavenly thunder that struck the reservoir above, roaring and shouting to suppress: "Fool! Helping his hometown with charitable causes is what Long Bao cares about most. The suspension of the reservoir base is a huge matter. If the reservoir is suspended or secretly known to the villagers, causing serious consequences and attracting many gold diggers, someone will definitely inform Long Bao about this. He will definitely investigate the cause! ...If he finds out that you are the mastermind behind this and have used his name as a tiger to scare people, he will definitely hate you with all his heart and want to punish you for betraying him! With his power, personality, and methods, how do you think he will deal with you?"

  The voice continued to shout loudly: "Don't you know? I'm afraid even your wife and children, as well as your father-in-law, will not be able to escape with their lives!"

  Chairman Wang's charitable hands stroked his head, back and forth, back and forth, just like a Bodhisattva saving suffering.

  The lush trees blocked the view of the sky, lying on the grass, a leopard was also lying beside, playfully scratching the green grass in front of its feet. The clear and crisp bird songs were transmitted between the leaves and branches, echoing in the vast and mysterious Bear Mountain. A gentle stream flowed slowly over my arm, with a soft gurgling sound, always shining with clear light. Every time the water splashed on the rocks, some droplets would splash onto my face, body, eyes, even tiny ones would land on my lips, tongue tip, sweet and refreshing.

  This water is flowing out from the heart of Xiongshan Mountain, or perhaps it's rushing out from deep within the earth. It flows like this all year round, never getting tired, never stopping, witnessing the vicissitudes of Xiongshan for millions of years, witnessing the birth, growth, prosperity and decline of the flowers, grasses, spring leaves, autumn branches, flying birds, running beasts, ants and insects on Xiongshan for millions of years, witnessing the endless changes. This water is so bitter and sweet.

  Don't you know, the spring water can talk. Sometimes it's as hoarse as an owl, sometimes it's as chirping as a mountain sparrow, sometimes it sings in harmony with the whispers of spring, and sometimes it plays a symphony with the sorrowful songs of autumn. Always there is a feeling that its voice is the legendary heavenly music, which will last forever between heaven and earth, only if you don't pay attention, you won't hear it; always feel that it is the sincere and gentle call of Xiongshan, calling itself back, back to its embrace.

  Its flavor fills the sky and earth, its sound comes from Xiongshan, it comes from Xiongshan without hesitation, dedicating everything to dedication. Gently rolling away fallen leaves and floating dust in its embrace, gently carrying away a little soil that the great mountain is willing to abandon, and then flowing down gently.

  It is in the gentle flow of tolerance and forbearance that it quietly tells itself: everything rotten will be taken away from this sacred land, everything unsteady will be far removed from this spiritual mountain. Those who can only dwell on flat ground can only return to their flat ground; at this height of the soul, they have no reason to stay and will not remain.

  The spring water does not know how many more turns and twists it needs to take, or how much time it will need to complete its sacred mission. It won't tell itself about the gradual process of its flow, but with its gradually disappearing eyes gazing at itself, it writes on the Bear Mountain: The declining is increasingly exposed, the pure is gradually polluted, the clear is becoming blurred, and what's lost will never return.

  The spring water of Xiongshan, whether in day or night, is silently interpreting the soul of Xiongshan with splendor. On the top of Xiongshan Mountain, there is an ancestral tomb, which now looks like an ancient altar. The spring water is speaking in a murmuring tone, saying something that even the priest cannot understand.

  These words sound good, but unfortunately they all happen at a time when one is unaware or has not realized it. Unfortunately, when one realizes and knows it, one has already become a helpless wanderer, walking with difficulty on the remaining steep path, destined to only yearn for the solitary drifting in the underworld of this life.

  This water is sweet, but sometimes it's bitter. In the summer, it's icy cold, chilling to the bone. In the winter, it's hot, warming the body. Holding it in both hands and taking a sip, it quenches one's thirst.

  Long Bao suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and felt really thirsty. He got out of bed to grab a cup of tea and took a few sips. The leopard walked over, wagging its tail and gazing at him with flattering eyes.

  Alas, why have I been dreaming of the spring water on Bear Mountain recently? It must be that what one thinks about during the day also appears in their dreams. Always feeling that no other water is as good to drink as the mountain springs of Bear Mountain, all mineral water and purified water are bland and tasteless. Really want to go back and drink a bellyful, then sleep soundly on the grass under the trees, that's the most comfortable enjoyment, far more comfortable than those places where Jiao Si brought me.

  Long Bao bent down and patted the leopard's head, the leopard slightly closed its eyes, waiting for Long Bao to further caress its scalp and neck hair. Long Bao was unexpectedly moved by it, thinking that all these years he had not properly groomed the leopard's fur, especially in recent days when Shi Wei and Qiu Ya were helping with cleaning and grooming. The leopard was still closer to him after all, although it played wildly with Shi Wei every day, but at night it would always return home, unless Long Bao was not there.

  Long Bao couldn't help but squat down, his hands embracing the leopard's head, gently stroking its scalp, and said in a low voice: "Leopard, do you want to go back? Do you want to go back and take a look? Do you want to go back and drink that mountain spring water? But we can't go back because our house is gone, it collapsed, we have no home. Your ancestors' home where they slept was also destroyed by others. What's the point of going back? Leopard, we have no home, no home, no home...

  January 3, 2006, when Longbiao was attending the Wang Group's 40th anniversary banquet in Hong Kong, Gao Zhiyong called him on the phone. On the phone, Gao Zhiyong sounded very excited: "Chairman Long, Chairman Long, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, I took a few water samples to the province for testing last week and found that two of them were rich in various beneficial trace elements, the best quality mineral water! I have sent someone to deliver the water sample test report to you, and also brought two bottles of disinfected packaged hometown mountain spring water. At the same time, I would like to suggest that we can build a large natural mineral water factory in Xiongshan. As long as it is a villager from Xiongshan or Tianlei Township, we will give away a certain number of shares in the water factory. In this way, we not only can recruit many local villagers to work, but also guarantee that the villagers can get benefits from the shares every year. The most important thing is that we can... Chairman Long, if this plan is implemented, then together with the reservoir construction, road construction, and high-tech agricultural development, it will be a great success! I have also sent you a detailed feasibility study report, which has already arrived at the headquarters."

  Xiongshan Mountain Spring? Sweet and beautiful Xiongshan Mountain Spring? Mineral water factory? Give away shares? Do work? Get benefits? Fundamentally solve the problem of uneven drinking water quality for all villagers in the town? Ah! How could I not have thought of this?! Only knew to solve the water tower problem for the villagers of Dafeng Village, but didn't know about the villagers of the whole town! Building a reservoir is to benefit the village, isn't a mineral water factory the same?! Ha! What an idiot!

  Teacher Gao is truly a good teacher! Not only does he work hard for his hometown, but also solves the most difficult problems of migrant settlement, supervises the construction of schools and markets, and now all road construction and reservoir construction are fully underway. Even the development of high-tech agriculture is thriving. What's more, his financial accounts and personal integrity are transparent and clean. Many contractors and company owners have tried to bribe him with gifts, but he remains as clean as water. He doesn't gamble or indulge in food and drink, and has even settled down in Xiongshan, setting up a home there. All of this can be verified by others!

  What moved me even more was that he thought deeper than I did, and Teacher Gao gave me the feeling of being the clearest and sweetest mountain spring on Bear Mountain! Teacher Gao's character and conduct were exactly like my grandfather De's, just like Hai Tao Shi Wei Qiu Ya Jing Er and others, just like Liu Lao Zhong Yi Liu Laoshi and Wang Xiao Zhang, they treated me with sincerity, without any ulterior motives or selfish desires of those aristocrats. I felt a bit ashamed, not only did I send someone to supervise him, but also sent people to secretly investigate his actions several times!

  What has Teacher Gao been working so hard for in the past two years? Isn't it just to do something meaningful? To thoroughly shake off the poor and backward situation of Tianlei Township's Dicui Village!

  Long Bao said emotionally: "Teacher Gao, I'll go back tomorrow to review that report and give you feedback as soon as possible!"

  Drinking the familiar sweet and delicious mountain spring water from Xiongshan, Long Bao's eyes lit up after reading these reports. Yes, although investing hundreds of millions in building this high-quality mineral water factory and equipment is needed, and it can't guarantee profit within two years, but the subsequent momentum and social benefits it brings are more lasting and meaningful. The water from Xiongshan is so sweet that it must be able to open up sales in the mountain city and throughout the province!

  Long Bao replied immediately: Your request to temporarily suspend the construction of the reservoir for the purpose of smoothly exploring the accurate location and estimation of high-quality water reserves, as well as the source structure of the water system, is approved. Please proceed with the establishment of a mineral water factory immediately. The necessary funds will be allocated from the project budget. All matters related to personnel recruitment, equipment procurement, land acquisition, etc. are entrusted to you for handling. Vice Director Chen Baohua of the Command Center will participate and assist. If there is anything else needed, please inform us in a timely manner. If you are too busy to handle this matter, I will dispatch additional personnel to assist. Long Bao

  January 4, 2006.

  Long Wan personally handed the approved report to the person sent by Gao Zhongyong and said kindly: "Tell Director Gao to pay attention to rest and take care of his body, don't work too hard. Take some time to be with your loved one, don't just abandon your newlywed wife for work. Whether it's a need for people or money, just call me or send a fax, no need to send someone to deliver the report again. Also, tell Director Gao that this water is very good to drink, thank him for that. However, regarding his invitation to visit Xiongshan, I really don't have time now. When the mineral water factory is completed and put into production, I will definitely go!"

  Gao Zhiyong reported his progress every ten days in the following days, and Long Biao also discussed with him slightly based on the materials he found. After chatting with Gao twice, Long realized that his current hot-selling project was simply a joke in front of Gao, so he told Gao not to waste his precious time on discussions and reports. Long had a habit of having both constraints and empowerment when it came to power. As a commander-in-chief managing hundreds of billions of assets, the most critical thing is not to personally lead the charge, but to command and manage the generals under him. This is the essence of military strategy.

  Shi Wei's life consisted of hugging his son, playing with the leopard, managing the supermarket he contracted, and supervising his wife Du Ci breastfeeding. Occasionally, he would also care about Long Bao's charity work in their hometown. Since February 26th, after hearing from Qiu Ya that Xiongshan was building a mineral water factory, he had been thinking of going to see it for himself. However, Shi Wei, the despicable and abnormal creature, slept during the day and stayed awake at night, eating at night but not during the day, causing Du Ci to be exhausted and himself to be disoriented. The nanny, his mother-in-law, and his own mother tried every method to correct this abnormal behavior, seeking medical help and asking for advice, all to no avail. In the end, they had to resort to praying to gods and Buddha, but it was still ineffective. After much thought, they came up with a desperate plan - posting seventeen or eighteen talismans at the entrance of the supermarket, written with the words "The sky is yellow, the earth is yellow, my family has a night crying boy, passersby please take note, one kick and he sleeps till dawn".

  Although this will definitely be laughed at by brothers, friends and sisters who come to the supermarket to buy things, I have been forced to a dead end by him, and I don't care about what's laughable or not. If I want to free myself from the bondage of this stinky egg that has been forced into three shifts, I can take the opportunity to go to Tianlei Township, so I can only resort to this desperate move.

  My goodness, this guy must be an American devil's spawn, living the life of an American devil, so naturally he still has a West Coast biological clock and hasn't adapted to the socialist China lifestyle on the East Coast of the Pacific.

  I'm a hero, a patriot, and a free spirit. How did I end up with this freak? Damn it, being an old man is so tiring. I really regret it. I'm only 25 years old, my youth and good years haven't been fully enjoyed, how can I live like this...

  April 1. Long Bo was informed by Meng Yuan that Shi Wei had an allegedly urgent phone call for him while he was in the US for business negotiations.

  Shi Wei, yeah, very obedient, except for seeing each other during the New Year's after that didn't bother himself again, let's listen to what he has to say.

  "Dragon, I'm not bothering you for nothing. This is what Old Man Liu asked me to ask you: why are you secretly digging a gold mine in Xiongshan? You're already so rich, why do you need to dig for gold? Why keep it from everyone? The villagers have gone crazy, fighting over the gold and digging tunnels. In just three days, there have been three big fights and six or seven people were injured! He wants you to think about how serious this is. That's all, oh, and I'm heading to Xiongshan now with Zhou Cheng."

  What a huge difference! What's going on? How can this happen? When did you secretly dig for gold in Xiongshan Mountain? How could there be a gold mine in Xiongshan Mountain? Why didn't Gao Zhīyǒng, the teacher who is fully responsible for all matters in Xiongshan, report to me? Why didn't Chen Baohua, who is in charge of supervising the project, report to me? The villagers have gone crazy, fighting over gold, digging holes, and even injuring each other!

  He immediately called Liu Laozhongyi, who was very angry and didn't answer Longbiao's questions. He simply said "You come back and see the good things you've done!" before hanging up the phone.

  It never occurred to him that Old Man Liu would use such a severe and accusatory tone towards himself, which means the gold mine thing must be true, and Old Man Liu must have misunderstood him. But why did Old Man Liu have this misunderstanding? Long Bao immediately called Gao Zhiyong again to ask, and Gao Zhiyong reported vaguely that since the mineral water factory started construction in January 2006, everything had been going smoothly, including the construction of the factory building, but unexpectedly, during the precise geological exploration five or six days ago, a gold ore vein was discovered in the Xiongshan rock layer by employees who were drilling and sampling. At that time, he was in the city, and the employees did not report this to him, but instead spread the news, so when he learned about it four days ago, many people in Tianlei Township already knew about it, even the villagers who worked on the construction site stopped working and began to prepare for drilling and mining. He is currently coordinating with government departments to handle this matter, considering that Long Bao is busy with important business talks in the US, he did not report it to him, and asked Long Bao to rest assured that after finishing his work in the US, the government will take care of this matter.

  This is strange, if they didn't build the reservoir and the mineral water factory, no one would know there's a gold mine here. Once they built the reservoir and the mineral water factory, they discovered the gold mine, and as a result, the villagers went crazy for gold! Longbiao was speechless with laughter, but why did Liu, the old Chinese doctor, say that he was secretly digging for gold? Gao Zhiyong explained that some villagers thought building the mineral water factory and reservoir were just excuses by Longbiao, when in fact it was all about the gold in the mountains. Chen Baohua also said this, as did the two people in charge of finances.

  Although it is said that a suspect should not be used, but the person who uses him should not be suspected, we must go back and take a look, personally understand the situation. Privately mining gold mines not only violates national laws and regulations, but also the discharge of highly toxic substances such as potassium cyanide in the extraction of gold ore will inevitably cause an ecological disaster for Xiongshan!

  But this business negotiation is too important, involving a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars, with several competitors vying for it, which would bring in profits of tens of billions of dollars. This is a major event that affects the group's annual report and stock price. The negotiating table is changing rapidly, and decisions must be adjusted at any time according to changes, otherwise, there is a risk of being taken away by opponents. It's really impossible to leave myself out of this. What happened with Xiongshan is a personal matter after all, I couldn't possibly put personal affairs above public duties, could I?

  If you can't even govern yourself, how can you govern others? If not, how will you maintain your authority over your employees in the future? Unable to extricate himself, unable to leave, Long Bao had no choice but to suppress his desire to return immediately.

  However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was off: why didn't Teacher Gao inform him of this matter in a timely manner, despite his trust in him? What was the reason behind this? And why did those people all speak with one voice? He had trusted him to be in charge and manage hundreds of millions of funds; would there be any problems with that? Or was he also involved in the villagers' gold mining activities? Was that why he tried to hide the truth from him and even dissuaded him from returning hastily? Building a reservoir was something that Old Man Liu, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor, believed would bring benefits to the villagers, and it was also the thing that he cared about most. If the situation wasn't serious, he wouldn't have called to urge him to return! And he certainly wouldn't have spoken to him in such an angry tone! Ah, there must be a problem here! This is a big deal; he had to go back and take a look.

  No, no way, the investment in my hometown is only tens of millions of yuan, but this is a profit of hundreds of millions of dollars! The ratio is one to several tens, and we can't make a joke out of it because of a small mistake! Things in my hometown can be delayed, but this...

  In the first few days, Long Bao was still able to think clearly that he couldn't let the Xiongshan matter affect this negotiation. He knew he couldn't send someone to investigate and endured not asking Shi Wei or Liu Lao about it. He even didn't call Gao Zhiyong and didn't answer any calls from Xiongshan. However, as the competition between multiple parties became increasingly fierce, the difficulty of the negotiation grew higher, and Long Bao's expression became increasingly stern.

  He finally called Dr. Liu on April 8th, and Dr. Liu said directly, "Don't forget your roots, no matter how big the thing is, you have to come back and take a look! Even if it's really like Shi Wei said that it has nothing to do with you, you still have to show up and take care of it! Now only you can handle this matter!"

  Long Wan could no longer sit still, informed others of the negotiation bottom line and asked everyone to keep in touch at any time, then took a flight back to Hong Kong from Shenzhen. Then he took the group's helicopter directly to Tianlei Township.

  Sitting on a helicopter flying at an altitude of 1500 meters, the view of the ground is very comfortable. You can clearly see the houses and white roads dotted below your feet, as well as the seemingly stationary vehicles. You can quietly savor the feeling of soaring high above the sky, giving you a panoramic view of all things. Even the roar of the rapidly rotating propellers becomes a harmonious music.

  All the scenery under my feet is fleeting away, and the floating clouds in front of me are gradually getting closer. In this change of fleeting away and getting closer, it always makes people produce illusions, after all, whether I am moving or the plane is moving, or everything on the ground and the floating clouds in the sky are moving, will always lose the reference object mark in physical concept in a daze.

  What is correct reference? Nowadays, there is no leisure to think about this kind of problem, headache, just want to ignore everything, but now all that can be ignored has suddenly become the only thing that makes oneself feel uncomfortable.
