Chapter 233: Chapter 233: The Calculations of the Pei Family_1
After coming out of the Pei Family Courtyard, Wang Fugui’s entire face had turned into one big bitter melon because of worry.
"President Qin, our visit to the Pei Family today to provoke them probably didn’t have any positive effect, and it certainly didn’t scare them. If we’re not careful, it might even bring about a crazy retaliation from them!"
"Provoke? I wasn’t there to provoke them, I was there to give them a chance. The opportunity has been given; if they don’t seize it, when I return in three days, I won’t be so polite."
These words from Qin Feng left Wang Fugui with no way to continue, so he chose to keep quiet. After all, Qin Feng was Xue Xiaochan’s husband and could be considered the owner of Qiuniu Gold Mine.
Back at Qiuniu Gold Mine, Wang Fugui thought for a long time, and in the end, while Qin Feng was out, he found Xue Xiaochan.
"Mr. Xue, I have a matter I’d like you to approve."
"What is it?"
"The issue with the Pei Family is unresolved, and the mine can’t operate. So, I was thinking of just giving the miners a holiday, letting them go home and rest for a few days."
Xue Xiaochan was well aware of Wang Fugui’s intentions; he didn’t want the miners to get dragged into this.
"Fine!" Xue Xiaochan agreed.
"Then I’ll arrange it right now."
Having obtained permission, Wang Fugui ran off as fast as he could.
Wang Fugui arranged for more than a dozen buses, planning to transport all the miners away overnight, far from Anlong Town.
As for himself, he planned to stay behind, to make a final stand with Qin Feng and Xue Xiaochan.
The news about Wang Fugui arranging buses leaked out quickly and was discovered by Pei Wuwei.
He immediately returned to the Pei Family Courtyard and found Pei Yuanbing.
"Uncle, from what I’ve gathered, Wang Fugui has arranged over a dozen buses to transport the miners away overnight. Should we call someone to intercept those miners?"
"Miners?"
Pei Yuanbing’s face lit up with joy as he said, "Once Qiuniu Gold Mine becomes our Pei Family’s property, our descendants will definitely not be the ones to go down to the mines to dig for coal.
The work of digging coal will still have to be done by those miners.
So, those miners must be retained for the use of our Pei Family. However, you need to let Wang Fugui see them being sent out of Anlong Town, and then quietly intercept them halfway.
The best approach is to win over those bus drivers.
Get them to take the miners to a place where no one can find them, where no one can interfere. Once I’ve sorted out the matter with Qiuniu Gold Mine, we’ll bring them back.
Then, make those miners work for us around the clock, twenty-four hours a day. We must triple the annual production of Qiuniu Gold Mine!"
"Yes, Uncle! I understand, I’ll do as you say.
Conveniently, among those bus drivers that Wang Fugui found, I know a few of them; they are from our Anlong Town.
I’ll make some arrangements, and ensure this is handled perfectly and tightly."
Pei Wuwei left.
Over at Qiuniu Gold Mine.
Qin Feng, who had been walking around the mine, returned to his room.
Just now, as he was coming down the stairs, he had seen Wang Fugui enter Xue Xiaochan’s room and knew that he must have spoken to her about something in private.
So, as soon as he returned, Qin Feng walked up behind Xue Xiaochan and started to diligently massage her shoulders, asking, "What did Wang Fugui talk to you about just now?"
"He didn’t talk about anything."
"How could he not have talked about anything? When I saw him enter your room, he had a worried look on his face. But when he came out, he was all smiles.
So, if I’m not mistaken, you must have agreed to something for him."
"If you’re so good at guessing, why don’t you try it yourself? I want to see what you can come up with,"
"That Wang Fugui cares most about the miners. So, he must be planning to send all the miners away, consulting your opinion, and finally, you agreed."
"You damn cur, you really are good at guessing, huh?"
"I’ve looked over the employee registry. There are a total of 398 miners at Qiuniu Gold Mine, plus other staff, there are 468 people in total. To send them all away, you’d need about ten buses.
Such a massive group leaving Anlong Town, the Pei Family would see it unless they were blind."
"So what? Are you saying Wang Fugui can’t send these 468 employees away?"
"It’s hard to say, maybe he can send them away. If he did, it would definitely mean the Pei Family allowed it deliberately."
"Deliberately allowed it? What do you mean?"
"The Pei Family has their sights set on taking over Qiuniu Gold Mine, and once they get it, they’ll definitely need miners to go down and mine the coal.
Dirty and exhausting work like mining coal, the descendants of the Pei Family would surely not want to do it, huh!
These 468 employees are readymade, aren’t they? No need for training, just take them and use them."
"You mean to say the Pei Family won’t take the miners’ lives?"
"If they wanted the miners dead, they would have all been gone before we arrived.
The gu poison the Pei Family uses only makes the miners suffer; it doesn’t cause too much damage to their bodies.
So, the Pei Family just wants to control those miners, without intending to take their lives.
Therefore, wife, you don’t need to worry about those miners, they’ll be fine.
All we need to do now is to focus wholeheartedly on dealing with the Pei Family!"
Having said that, Qin Feng’s mischievous hand suddenly slid down a notch.
"What are you doing? You little rascal!" Xue Xiaochan lightly tapped him, grumpily saying, "Behave yourself."
Scolding Qin Feng to behave was because Xue Xiaochan was a girl and needed to maintain some reserve.
Her heart, however, wasn’t thinking that way at all!
But indeed, Qin Feng became well-behaved in an instant.
He retracted his hand back to his shoulder and said with a smile, "Wife, how about we go down into the mine and have a look? You’ve owned Qiuniu Gold Mine for two years now, but you haven’t been down to the mine, have you?"
"Go down into the mine to have a look? Isn’t it all just coal down there? Dark and dirty, what’s there to see?"
"How do you know it’s all coal if you’ve never been down there?"
Qin Feng’s question left Xue Xiaochan with a face full of curiosity.
"If it’s not all coal, what else could there be? Don’t tell me there’s really gold under the Qiuniu Gold Mine?"
Qin Feng gently tapped Xue Xiaochan’s forehead, exasperatedly saying, "Is money all that’s on your mind? Can’t you think about anything else?"
"Dare to tap me? I’ll pinch you to death!"
Xue Xiaochan pinched him, but didn’t use much strength. After grabbing, she even played with it a little.
She didn’t know why, but she particularly enjoyed playing around.
Even just playing a little bit made her feel exceedingly content.
After the teasing and playing, she was happy.
Xue Xiaochan stood up, hooked Qin Feng’s arm, and said, "Let’s go, let’s have a look down in the mine. If there’s nothing but coal down there, see how I’ll deal with you?"
