Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 20 Curiosity

In Jinsha Valley, in a hidden river bend, seven people headed by the chief steward Qian Wen gathered together. They were all small stewards of Jinsha Valley, in charge of all aspects of Jinsha Valley. At this moment, they sat around the table and the atmosphere was quite solemn.

"Captain, you have to take care of this. That Jiang guy is completely misusing public resources for personal gain. The mining team has now become his personal hunting team. The brothers are following him into the woods every day, and life is almost unbearable."

An angry voice sounded, and a bearded man couldn't help but broke the silence first. His name was Hu Yong. He was originally in charge of the mining protection team, but later when Xiong Li came, he was squeezed out. Although Qian Wen gave him some compensation and promises secretly, he was still dissatisfied in his heart.

As soon as these words were spoken, several other managers began to complain and severely accused Jiang Chen and his men, saying that Jiang Chen only cared about his own enjoyment and didn't care about their lives at all. Especially the matter of catching mice was ridiculous, and he didn't seem like someone who could really be in charge.

In fact, many things are not as excessive as they say. After Jiang Chen came to Jinsha Valley, he basically did not directly intervene in the affairs of the valley. Although it had a certain impact on the lives of most of their people, it was also quite limited.

But since someone had spoken up, as a group, they naturally had to cry along. If they didn't cry while others did, how would the manager and their colleagues view them? Wouldn't it make them seem unsociable?
Sitting in the first seat, watching this scene, Qian Wen was unmoved. He knew the situation of these people very well, and he also knew their thoughts very well.

"Okay, everyone, just be quiet."

After watching the performance for a while, Qian Wen finally spoke.

Seeing Qian Wen's reaction, everyone immediately lowered their voices and waited for Qian Wen to continue speaking, including Hu Yong who was shouting the loudest. It was okay to make noise, as it was an expression of one's attitude, but there had to be a limit.

Seeing this, Qian Wen also put down the teacup in his hand and his expression became serious.

"Hunting and catching rats are indeed a bit ridiculous, but for us, it's not only not a bad thing, but a good thing. After all, what we want is the gold sand. As long as he doesn't interfere with the gold sand mining in the Gold Sand Valley, then let him make trouble as he wants."

"What we need to do now is to try our best to make him happy and prevent him from causing us any trouble. Do you understand?"

Qian Wen set the tone as he swept his sharp gaze over everyone present.

Seeing this, everyone agreed, except Hu Yong, who was still a little unwilling, because he was the only one who was really tortured.

Although there are mountains on both sides of the Jinsha Valley, it is not easy to hunt some large prey. It is even more so as the number of hunts increases. He has been really tortured during this period. Hunting is not only dangerous, but also a real chore. It is not as good as some people imagine.

But before Hu Yong could say anything else, Qian Wen spoke first.

"Ayong, I know you've worked hard this time. I see all your efforts. Once this batch of gold sand is ready, I will personally ask the Third Chief for credit for you and ask him to give you an elixir to help you break through the second-rate realm as soon as possible. By then, you will definitely be a big boss."

"For now, you need to be patient and consider the overall situation."

His words were full of seriousness, and Qian Wen once again skillfully made a promise to Hu Yong, telling him that the suffering was only temporary and that there was hope for the future.

Hearing this, Hu Yong swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth again and just nodded silently. He knew clearly that Qian Wen's words were just empty talk, but having something to eat was better than nothing, so it was at least a hope.

Moreover, with Jiang Chen's promotion to the fourth in command confirmed, there is indeed a vacancy for the big boss under the third in command. If he can make achievements within these three years and break through the second-rate, he does have the possibility of becoming the big boss.

Seeing this, Qian Wen nodded with satisfaction.

"From what we've observed over this period of time, although our Chief Jiang has been a bit absurd, he certainly has no intention of managing the specific affairs of the valley. We should let go and speed things up."

"Notify the miners under your command as soon as possible and have them work hard to advance the gold mining schedule and further increase gold sand production. This way, not only can we fulfill Third Boss's instructions, but everyone's lives will also be easier."

If you want the horse to run, you have to let it eat grass. After thinking for a moment, Qian Wen made a new decision.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked delighted. The one who would steal the gold sand and eat the meat was naturally the Third Master, but they could all get a sip of the soup too. The more they mined, the more they would naturally gain. With just a few years of hard work, they would accumulate a considerable fortune, and by then, they would all be wealthy men.

As for the danger, in recent years, there is no way to make money without danger, and they have no say in this matter.

"Please rest assured, Steward, we will definitely handle this matter beautifully."

Without hesitation, several people present expressed their opinions.

At this moment, the atmosphere finally became harmonious, and everyone was smiling from top to bottom. Only one person's smile was slightly different from theirs, and that person was Wang Yuan.

"Maybe it's time."

Looking at Qian Wen, who was sitting in the first seat, holding a teacup in his hand, smiling, and looking calm, as if everything was under control, Wang Yuan lowered his head silently. He didn't want to wait any longer. Hatred was like a poisonous insect gnawing at his heart all the time.

And after observing for such a long time, he always felt that Jiang Chen was not the kind of person who would allow Qian Wen to sideline him.

After a while, everyone dispersed, leaving only Qian Wen still there.

It was at this moment that a figure walked out from the darkness. It was Zhao Er.

When he saw Zhao Er appear, Qian Wen couldn't help but show a trace of anxiety on his face, no longer as calm as before.

"Zhao Er, tell me the truth, what happened to the Third Master?"

Staring at Zhao Er intently, Qian Wen seemed to want to see something from his face.

Zhao Er had no reaction to this. He came here for two reasons: one was to observe Jiang Chen's situation, and the other was to urge Qian Wen, because the third in command was getting a little impatient.

"Third Master, there's nothing wrong. Just do your own thing and don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

With a cold expression, Zhao Er made his attitude clear.

After all, Qian Wen only gave his sister to Zhao Meng as a concubine, not his wife. Although she had some status in front of Zhao Meng because of her own abilities, it was not enough to compare with him.

Hearing this, Qian Wen felt a surge of anger in his heart, but at this moment, a beast-like aura emanated from Zhao Er's body, making him shudder all over.

"Second-rate expert!"

Thinking of Zhao Er's strength, Qian Wen suddenly became like a deflated ball, unable to stand up anymore.

"I see."

Suddenly feeling a little discouraged, Qian Wen nodded. The calculations he was proud of were useless in front of Zhao Er.

Seeing this, Zhao Er looked at Qian Wen again and left quietly. He still wanted to go to the south slope to take a look. He wanted to see what Jiang Chen was doing on the south slope. From the information he had collected, Jiang Chen's actions were really too weird, which made him feel curious.
