Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 357 The Shepherd Girl

The two boys waited for more than an hour before finally getting a computer. They clumsily turned it on, their eyes filled with excitement as they stared at the screen.

For them, the game Legend was a new world, a passion that bordered on a religious devotion.

The boy quickly logged into the game, intending to explore the mine.

As soon as he entered the game, he saw that the world channel was bustling with activity.

"What are they talking about?" the standing boy asked curiously, leaning down to look at the bustling world channel.

The sitting boy said, "It seems like they're looking for someone."

"You guys haven't played in a while, have you?" At this moment, a young man with a cigarette in his mouth said, "You don't even know about something this important?"

"Big brother, what's wrong?" the standing boy asked curiously.

The young man exhaled a smoke ring and said, "Momo Internet Cafe is offering a hefty reward for finding someone. They'll give a skill book worth 10,000 yuan for providing clues, and a set of the three divine weapons of warrior, mage, and priest for helping to find them."

"The three divine artifacts of the Warrior, Mage, and Taoist schools?" Both boys couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. These must be worth at least 100,000!
One of the boys asked, "Who are they looking for?"

The young man sneered, "I heard it's because a senior executive of Momo Group is looking for his long-lost daughter. I guess this is just a gimmick to attract attention. Since they launched this event, Momo's virtual item trading website has become even more popular. Now many internet cafes are talking about it."

The two boys exchanged a glance, and one of them exclaimed with delight, "Shall we go help look for it?"

The young man laughed loudly and said, "You are really young. This world is so big, where are you going to help find it? Don't dream about it."

The boy standing asked, "Maybe we can find it."

"Go wash your face and clear your head. Even a company as big as Momo Internet Cafe can't find this girl, how could ordinary people like us possibly find her?" The young man said disdainfully while playing CS. "This is all hype. These big companies love to do this kind of thing."

The young man's words did not affect the two boys. One of the boys asked very seriously, "Big brother, what does that girl look like?"

The young man said, "It's posted at the entrance of the internet cafe; you can go take a look."

The boy walked to the entrance of the internet cafe and saw the huge missing person poster.

Looking at the sweet-smiling little girl on the poster, the boy fell into deep thought. He waved to the sitting boy and called out, "Liangliang, come and take a look. Doesn't this look like the shepherdess?"

"Let me see." The boy who was sitting put down the mouse and ran over quickly.

The boy examined the poster carefully and exclaimed, "It really does look a bit like it!"

The two boys' words made many customers in nearby internet cafes burst into laughter.

One customer laughed and said, "Three- or four-year-old children all look pretty much the same. You don't think you're going to hit the jackpot, do you?"

"Stop dreaming, go and honestly farm some gold coins to sell. There's no such thing as a free lunch." Several more people loudly mocked.

The two boys were at an age where they loved to dream, and they were not influenced by the people around them. One of the boys said, "Let's go to this Momo Internet Cafe and ask."

"Not going online anymore? I just got this computer." Another boy looked at the computer, which had only been turned on for a short time, with some reluctance.

The boy said, "If this girl really is a shepherdess, then we can spend all our time online. Let's go."

“Okay.” The other boy went back to the computer and turned it off.

"Another pair of dream chasers."

"Good luck to you guys." As soon as the two boys ran out of the internet cafe, a burst of laughter and mockery erupted inside.

Inside the Momo Internet Cafe in Shudao County, Yin Qifeng sat in a chair, lost in thought and feeling troubled.

Ever since the head office put up this missing person notice, far too many people have come here to provide clues.

His internet cafe alone receives seventeen or eighteen leads every day. Most of the leads are provided by teenagers around fifteen or sixteen years old. These kids are enthusiastic and talkative. As long as they feel there is even a slight similarity, they will rush over to provide leads, making it a real headache for Yin Qifeng and other internet cafe managers.

These kids are not only talkative, but also incredibly stubborn. Just now, one of the brats actually brought his four-year-old sister over, insisting that she was the girl in the poster, and wouldn't go back no matter how much we tried to persuade him.

It wasn't until the brat's parents came and he received a mixed beating from both parents that the boy stopped being so stubborn.

Abstract, these brats are really too abstract.

The most critical issue is that, according to the group company's requirements, no matter what clues are obtained, they must be thoroughly investigated one by one, without the slightest carelessness.

It is rumored that this was an order personally given by the group's chairman, Du Yusheng, that anyone who failed to provide leads would be sent home.

These ten-person internet cafe managers earn as much as three to four thousand yuan a month. This income makes them work hard and tired without any complaints.

Yin Qifeng composed himself and finally emerged from the shadow of what had just happened.

He was just about to sort out his guarantee income for the day when he saw two boys in tattered clothes peek in.

"Are you buying or selling equipment?" Yin Qifeng asked immediately.

He was terrified of these kids and just hoped they were there to buy or sell equipment.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The boy looked at Yin Qifeng and asked, "Excuse me, are you the ones looking for someone?"

Again!
Yin Qifeng couldn't help but pat his forehead.

Sichuan Province has always been a province with a high incidence of such incidents. The outflow has always been outward, so how could it be inward?
Their province is the least likely to have someone searched for.

If we're going to look for them, we should look in the wealthier provinces.

Most areas of Sichuan Province are relatively underdeveloped economically, especially the impoverished mountainous areas, which simply do not have the means to purchase such goods.

Yin Qifeng sighed, "Yes, do you have any clues to provide?"

“Yes, we think that girl is from our village,” the boy said seriously. “She looks just like the girl in the poster.”

"Do you have any photos?" Yin Qifeng asked.

The boy shook his head and said, "No, we haven't taken a picture yet."

Yin Qifeng patiently asked, "How old is that girl you're talking about?"

“Thirteen or fourteen years old, I guess.” The boy thought for a moment and said, “She doesn’t have a father or mother. I heard from the villagers that she was brought to our village by someone.”

“Yes, that guy tried to steal a child from our village, but our village chief led a group of people and beat him to death. The girl was in the basket of that guy’s motorcycle,” another boy said honestly.

"..." Yin Qifeng's lips twitched involuntarily. How the hell did this get involved in a murder case?

Let's just pretend we didn't hear you clearly.

However, the clues provided by the two boys did match the basic clues provided by the head office to some extent.

She was thirteen or fourteen years old, still a girl.

Yin Qifeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Which village or town are you from? Could you go back and take a picture?"

"We're from Qiaodian Shiquan Village," the boy said. "We don't have a camera, so we can't take pictures. Could you come with us and have a look?"

"Should we go take a look?" Yin Qifeng hesitated.

There is no road access to Qiaodian. To get there, you either have to cross mountains and valleys, take a boat upstream on the Jialing River, or walk on a dirt road with cliffs on both sides. If you ride a motorcycle on that dirt road, you'll shake off most of the wheels.

Yin Qifeng didn't want to go at first, but when he thought about the 300,000 yuan bonus within the group, he became somewhat tempted.

If he really finds that executive's daughter, wouldn't he become incredibly successful?

After much consideration, Yin Qifeng decided to go and take a look.

I just considered it a chance to get away and clear my head.

Yin Qifeng first rented a digital camera, then rode his motorcycle with the two excited boys to Qiaodian.

The Sichuan province experiences drizzling rain almost every day, making the already narrow dirt roads even more rugged and difficult to travel. In addition, with these two boys on the back, a slight misstep could send them tumbling into a bottomless abyss.

It took him more than two hours to ride that short distance of just a few dozen miles.

When we arrived at Qiaodian, it was already past three in the afternoon.

"Over here, over here." The two boys returned to Shiquan Village and immediately led Yin Qifeng to the back mountain.

"What's her name?" Yin Qifeng asked.

As the boy led the way, he said, "She grew up herding sheep with our old village chief. We all called her Shepherd Girl."

Before long, they arrived at the back of the mountain.

Behind the mountain, a girl with patched clothes was tending to a dozen black goats. Although her clothes were patched upon patched, they were neat and clean, much better than the two slovenly boys.

The girl was short and thin. Hearing the two boys calling out, she turned around and looked at Yin Qifeng and the others with a puzzled expression.

Upon seeing strangers, the girl visibly panicked and quickly squatted down on the ground, hoping to use the weeds to conceal her frail figure.

Yin Qifeng wanted to go over and ask, but the girl was very timid. When she saw Yin Qifeng coming over, she turned around and tried to run away.

Perhaps considering the black goats, the girl ran for more than ten meters before stopping timidly, looking at Yin Qifeng with a fearful expression.

“It does look very similar.” The girl’s face vaguely resembled the girl in the poster. Seeing the girl’s appearance, Yin Qifeng was already somewhat certain. Afraid of scaring the girl, he said to the two boys, “Boys, take me to see your old village chief.”

"Okay." The boy nodded.

In the instant he turned around, Yin Qifeng suddenly raised his camera and took a picture of the girl.

The girl had never seen a camera before, and when she saw Yin Qifeng holding something up, she was so frightened that she immediately squatted down again.

The boy led Yin Qifeng to a dilapidated courtyard made of piled stones. In the courtyard, an old woman was sorting through a pile of wool. When she saw the two boys leading a strange young man in, the old woman asked in confusion, "Liangliang, Pingzi, what's this?"

"Grandma, my name is Yin Qifeng, and I'm an employee dispatched by Momo Group." Yin Qifeng quickly introduced himself: "The girl you adopted might be our boss's child, so I came to confirm."

The old woman asked excitedly, "Are you from Zhonghai?"

Yin Qifeng was startled and asked, "Is she from Zhonghai?"

The old woman said, "Yes, when we adopted her, she didn't remember her own name, she only remembered that her home was in Zhonghai."

The old woman put down the wool and walked unsteadily into the dark house. After a while, she took out a picture book made from a tattered calendar.

The sketchbook depicts a family of three: a tall father on the left, a smiling mother on the right, and a little girl with pigtails in the middle.

The old woman handed the sketchbook to Yin Qifeng and said, "This is a sketch of her family. She said her father has a scar near his eye. This is the only clue we have."

Yin Qifeng took the sketchbook, took a picture, and said, "Grandma, thank you. If she really is our boss's daughter, we will definitely reward you handsomely."

The old woman sighed and said, "No need for thanks. My husband and I are already relieved to see her find her parents."

Yin Qifeng thanked him repeatedly and rode his motorcycle back to the Momo Internet Cafe.

As soon as he returned to the internet cafe, he quickly sent the photos to the headquarters of Momo Group via email.

"Ding!" At this moment, Cheng Yi was reviewing the order of school building investments in impoverished mountainous areas. Before he could finish reading the detailed list of impoverished mountainous areas, an email popped up in the lower right corner.

It was an email sent from Momo Internet Cafe in Shudao County, Sichuan Province.

During this period, Cheng Yi received emails from Momo internet cafes all over the country every day, but the girls in these emails were all around the same age as Huang Wenrong's daughter. In order to prevent Huang Wenrong from getting bad news, Cheng Yi was personally responsible for the pre-screening of all emails and they were not passed on to Huang Wenrong.

Cheng Yi didn't have high hopes for this email. He opened it with a calm mind, but after just one glance, his eyes were filled with shock.

In their past life, they used AI technology to generate the appearance of Huang Wenrong's daughter. The photo in this email bears a striking resemblance to the photo they previously generated using AI.

"Go and call General Manager Huang over!" Cheng Yi shouted to his assistant immediately after his initial shock.

Less than five minutes later, Huang Wenrong rushed into Cheng Yi's office. He looked at Cheng Yi excitedly, his voice trembling, and said, "There's... there's news?"

"Old Huang, take a look for yourself." Cheng Yi turned the monitor to the side.

Huang Wenrong rushed to the monitor. He glanced at the photo and was speechless. He mumbled incoherently, "Yes, yes, yes, where? Where is she?"

“In Qiaodian, Shudao County, Sichuan Province,” Cheng Yi replied.

"Qiaodian...Qiaodian..." Huang Wenrong turned and ran. He staggered to the office door, slipped, and almost fell to his knees. At that moment, he seemed to have no sense of pain. He quickly got up and ran like a madman to the elevator.

"Old Huang, calm down!" Cheng Yi quickly caught up and shouted, "The fastest way to get to Qiaodian is to take a plane to Jiangcheng first, and then take a boat from Jiangcheng across the Yangtze River and the Jialing River. I'll go arrange a yacht for you first."

Cheng Yi first made a phone call to a yacht in Jiangcheng, and then ordered a few security personnel. Only then did he take the somewhat absent-minded Huang Wenrong up the Yangtze River from Jiangcheng and rush to Qiaodian as quickly as possible.
