Chapter 170 A word that wakes up the dreamer The wind in southern Yunnan is very strong and the terrain is where Jiang Zao and his friends were going, they had to go into the mountains and it would be a bumpy ride. Even though Jiang Zao was mentally prepared, his stomach couldn't help but churn. When he got off the car, he took a long time to calm down and not vomit. Qiao Li rarely showed his gentlemanly manners and handed Jiang Zao a tissue. Jiang Zao took it without even looking at it, "Thank you." Then ask: "How far is it?" Qiao Li had been here several times before, so he acted as a guide. "It's about half an hour's walk, if you don't need to rest in the middle." Jiang Zao said that he had no problem. Qiao Li originally thought that Jiang Zao was just holding on, but he didn't expect that she actually persisted, and her face didn't turn red, she didn't pant, and she looked like she had adapted completely well. Instead, Qiao Li felt a little tired. Although he has walked this road several times, every time he has the urge to "build the road as soon as I get money." We finally arrived at the jade mine. There were a few workers mining there, and it was obvious that things hadn't gotten properly underway yet.
Jiang Zao looked around and asked Qiao Li, "There should be a lot of jade mines around here, right?" Qiao Li nodded: "Well, these are the only two I could grab, one big and one small. They are better than most, but some are better than most. Some people have been here for half a year and still come back empty-handed." This was not because he was showing off on purpose. He wanted to let his partner Jiang Zao know that he was also capable of getting things done. Jiang Zao spent the whole day wandering around the two jade mines. Apart from drinking some water, he didn't eat anything. He only returned to a nearby homestay when night fell. The B&B has been bought by Qiao Li and can be considered an additional industry. Jiang Zao sat down and took a sip of the hot soup, and felt his whole body warmed up. "You've thought it through so carefully that you even bought a homestay." Jiang knew long ago that Qiao Li's abilities were far more than that. In his previous life, he was the one who saved the Qiao family with his own efforts. Moreover, this B&B has obviously been renovated, and a lot of money must have been invested in it. Qiao Li was also hungry, and ate the food in big mouthfuls. He had never felt that food could taste so delicious. "Well, at that time I thought it was stupid to go around looking for a place to sleep. Besides, if a big client came, they could just check in at night, with food, accommodation and transportation all included." He handed a tray of steamed buns to Jiang Zao. It’s pure beef and very delicious. Jiang Zao ate two in a row, and the empty feeling in his stomach finally disappeared. "Have you found a polisher and a cutter?" Jiang Zao asked Qiao Li nodded: "Almost everyone here knows how to do this. What's hard to find is a jade carver. Most good jade carvers have fixed partners. Moreover, the people here are very exclusive and have formed several factions. It is even more difficult to snatch people from these factions." "If you can't grab it, just join it. What's so difficult about it? Tomorrow you can buy some decent gifts and visit them. If you flatter them well, it will be easier to talk to them about favors." Jiang Zao said while eating. A word to awaken the dreamer. Qiao Li slammed the table, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Jiang Zao smiled and said, "Because you have been fawned upon and given gifts since childhood, you are used to looking at things from a higher position, so naturally you can't think of these things."
Qiao Li was slightly stunned, and felt that it made sense. So I ate quickly and then went out to buy gifts. This place is very remote and almost every household stays indoors at night. If you want to buy gifts, you have to drive to the town. After a while, it was almost dawn. Jiang Zao slept very soundly that night. Perhaps because he was too tired during the day, he didn't even notice Qiao Li knocking on the door. The next day, at seven o'clock, Jiang Zao was woken up by his biological clock. I picked up the phone and found three missed calls and two WeChat messages. From Fu Yanci and Zheng Xiao respectively. Jiang had previously sent a video to Zheng Xiao, but found that the network here was not very good and could not send it out, so he had to switch to a phone call. Lu Li answered the phone. "Boss Jiang, Miss Zheng stayed up all night writing music and just went to bed." Lu Li's voice was very soft. Jiang Zao was surprised: "She is willing to play an instrument?" "Ah." "Okay then." Jiang Zao was relieved. "When Xiaoxiao wakes up, tell her that I'm fine here and will go back after I finish the job. Tell her not to worry." Lu Li: "Okay." This person is really frugal with words. After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zao called Fu Yanci again. The other party answered quickly. It gives people the illusion that they are always holding their phone and waiting for a call. But the person who answered the phone spoke in a steady tone, neither hurried nor slow, "Hello, good morning." Jiang Zao responded, "I'm sorry, I slept too deeply last night and didn't hear your call." Fu Yanci said it was okay. Both were silent for a moment. Fu Yanci then asked, "The temperature has dropped. Remember to wear more clothes when you go out today." Jiang Zao hadn't gone out yet, but the room was indeed quite cold. When he took his arm out of the quilt, he immediately felt a chill. "How did you know?" she asked as she got dressed. Fu Yanci paused for a moment and said, "Weather forecast." Jiang Zao: "Thank you for your concern." Then there was a knock on the door, and it was Qiao Li asking, "Boss Jiang, are you up?"
"Oh, wait a moment." Jiang Zao responded and said to Fu Yanci on the other end of the phone, "I have to get busy. Bye." Fu Yanci didn't even have the chance to say "bye" before he heard a mechanical "beep, beep, beep" sound. Jiang had already put on his clothes, washed his face casually, combed his hair, and then went to open the door for Qiao Li. This look without any makeup had a different kind of coolness, which startled Qiao Li slightly. After a brief moment of amazement, he asked, "I'm going to give a gift, are you coming?" Jiang Zao thought of what Fu Yanci had just said, "Go, wait for me." She went back into the house and put on an extra windbreaker before coming out. "Let's go." Qiao Li felt that girls were really delicate. Before he could say anything, he sneezed several times on his way out. "Fuck! Why did the temperature drop so quickly?" Jiang Zao was glad that she listened to Fu Yanci, otherwise she would be the one suffering from the cold. "Do you want to go back and wear more clothes?" Jiang Zao asked. "A-choo!" Qiao Li rubbed his nose. "I'm not that delicate. Let's go. I went out to buy gifts in town last night and found out that many people have been communicating with local forces recently. If we go too late, I'm afraid the opportunity will be gone." Fortunately, there was a heater in the car, so Qiao Li felt much warmer. They went to the village chief's house first. The village chief's surname is Lai. He is very prestigious in the local area. I heard that he comes from a family of village chiefs. He also has very good relations with several nearby villages. The relationship is complicated and he is considered the backbone of the local people. Unfortunately, Jiang Zao and his friends arrived a step too late. When they entered the room, they saw a pile of gift boxes on the table. It was obvious that someone had just been there. Qiao Li's heart skipped a beat, but since he was already here, there was no way he would back down. "Village Chief Lai, my two jade mines are really short of manpower. Why don't you help me and introduce some people to them? Don't worry, you will definitely get some benefits." Qiao Li hinted. Guess where Fu San Sui is now?
