Chapter 231: Chapter 231: The Pei Family’s Conditions_1
"Are you saying that, just by giving away a few management positions, this issue could be completely resolved? From now on, the Pei Family won’t come looking for trouble anymore?"
Qin Feng’s question caught Wang Fugui off guard.
Whether the Pei Family would come looking for trouble again was not something he could control.
Right now, all he could think about was rescuing the lives of more than a hundred miners as soon as possible.
In the past two months, he had thought of every possible solution.
But in the end, none of it was of any use.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have possibly made a phone call to Xue Xiaochan, asking her for help!
"Uh... at least we can first rescue the lives of more than a hundred miners," Wang Fugui spoke his true thoughts.
"The miners’ lives must be saved, not just their lives, but also to rid everyone of future worries!
This issue with the Pei Family must be completely resolved! I want to make the Pei Family disappear from Anlong Town for good!"
Qin Feng was not just boasting; he was serious.
Just from the actions of Pei Wuwei when entering Anlong Town, one could glimpse the leopards print and know what sort of things the Pei Family was.
A malignant tumor like that, if not removed, should we keep it around for the New Year?
"Assistant Qin, you might not be aware of the situation in Anlong Town. Anlong Town has a unique geographical position—practically lawless.
The underlying reason is the presence of the Pei Family in Anlong Town, so no one wants to handle affairs here.
Hence, Anlong Town is almost an independent kingdom, the Pei Family’s kingdom.
In Anlong Town, whatever the Pei Family says goes.
If Qiuniu Gold Mine wants to continue operating, there’s only one way, and that’s to bow down to the Pei Family.
Using a few management positions to exchange for the lives of more than a hundred miners, plus the continued operation of the mine, is not a loss.
When doing business, one has to bow one’s head under another’s roof when necessary.
If you’re not willing to make any concession, you won’t get far in business."
"Stop your yapping here, Qiuniu Gold Mine belongs to Mr. Xue, and he should be the one making the decisions.
What you need to do now is to fetch me a box of Silver Needle so I can first cure the miners of the poison."
Wang Fugui looked at Qin Feng in disbelief and asked, "Assistant Qin, can you cure poison like that?"
"If I couldn’t even cure this kind of poison, how would I deal with the Pei Family? With my mouth?"
"Alright, alright, I’ll go right now."
Wang Fugui rushed off.
He wasn’t actually afraid of the Pei Family; he was just worried about the miners. If Qin Feng could save the miners, he wouldn’t bow down to the Pei Family either.
He had recruited all these miners from other places; they were his brothers.
Wang Fugui brought the miners to Qiuniu Gold Mine to earn money, not to lose their lives!
Soon, Wang Fugui returned with the Silver Needle.
"Go get a big trash can; they’re all going to vomit later. Also, bring some hot water and towels and such; they’ll need to wipe themselves off after," Qin Feng said.
"Okay!"
Wang Fugui left again.
A quarter of an hour later, everything was ready.
Qin Feng picked up a Silver Needle and pricked Liu Daqiang’s belly a few times.
Although Wang Fugui didn’t know medicine, he always felt that Qin Feng’s needlework was somewhat amateurish; whether it was his technique of piercing or the acupoints chosen.
"Assistant Qin, this is a matter of life and death! It’s no joking matter. Are you sure you can do it?"
Before the words of Wang Fugui had faded, Liu Daqiang start vomiting violently into the trash can.
What he ejected from his mouth were dark, worm-like creatures that squirmed in the trash can like maggots.
After vomiting, Liu Daqiang’s pregnant-looking belly immediately deflated. His previously pale face also regained its color instantly.
Even, Liu Daqiang was able to get out of bed.
"How are you feeling? Better?" Qin Feng asked.
"Much better, almost fully recovered, thank you, Assistant Qin." Liu Daqiang said gratefully.
Next, Qin Feng started treating Zhang Xiaobao.
After a busy half day, Qin Feng resolved the Gu poison in over a hundred miners.
Although curing the Gu poison wasn’t very difficult, the sheer number of cases made it so!
As a result, Qin Feng was dead tired.
"Wang Fugui, arrange a room for Assistant Qin to rest!" Xue Xiaochan said.
"Okay."
Wang Fugui immediately went to arrange it.
He gave up his own room to Qin Feng and prepared to squeeze in with the workers.
He hadn’t expected the assistant Xue Xiaochan brought to be so incredible, capable of curing Gu poison. Thus, he had only prepared a room for Xue Xiaochan.
As soon as she entered the room, Xue Xiaochan saw Wang Fugui’s things and asked, "Is this your room?"
"It’s for Assistant Qin to stay in tonight. I’ll just squeeze in with the workers."
"What about my room?" Xue Xiaochan asked.
"It’s upstairs."
"Let Assistant Qin stay in my room."
"Then where will you stay, Mr. Xue?"
"I’ll stay in the same room as Assistant Qin."
"The two of you stay in one room? Isn’t that inappropriate?"
"That’s none of your concern."
"Alright then, I’ll have someone hurry up and add another bed."
"No need."
Wang Fugui was stunned.
Could this assistant Qin really be just an assistant?
Female assistants sharing a room with a male boss wasn’t unheard of.
But a male assistant staying in the same room with a beautiful female boss and sharing a bed, that was explosive news!
Seeing the puzzled look on Wang Fugui’s face, Xue Xiaochan decided to explain.
"At work, Qin Feng is my assistant. After hours, he’s my husband. So, there’s no problem with him and me sharing a bed.
If he weren’t my husband, I wouldn’t have brought him alone on a business trip."
"Oh!"
Wang Fugui nodded, suddenly enlightened, and said, "No wonder Assistant Qin is so capable, even able to cure the Pei Family’s Gu poison. Turns out he’s your husband, Mr. Xue.
I won’t disturb the two of you then. If there’s anything you need, just order me around.
The conditions at the mine can’t compare to the city, but whatever Mr. Xue and President Qin need, I’ll do my best to meet your demands!"
"There is one thing you can do right now. Calculate all the losses that Qiuniu Gold Mine has suffered during the time the miners were poisoned by Gu, and make a list.
Additionally, count a nutrition fee of five hundred thousand for each miner affected by Gu poison. Work out the total amount for me; I’ll go demand the money from the Pei Family tomorrow!"
"President Qin, you’re going to ask the Pei Family for money? A nutrition fee of five hundred thousand for each person? We’re in Anlong Town!
If the Pei Family doesn’t come to trouble us again, we should be thankful.
I think we should let it go and not stir up more trouble."
"Let it go? Qiuniu Gold Mine is a subsidiary of Haiyun Group, and the miners are employees of Haiyun Group. How can we just let it go when our employees have been bullied?
The nutrition fee of five hundred thousand per person must be paid, and when it’s received, it will be distributed to the miners without shorting them a penny!
Calculate every single loss suffered by the mine due to the Pei Family over the past two years.
Tomorrow, I’ll settle the total account with the Pei Family!"
