"Oh, it's not that I can't help it..." Lan Yun said with a helpless look: "The Chen family has made it clear that if I don't get engaged, the other party will not invest. It's not like you don't know that our Xin'ao capital chain has appeared. This big problem can be solved with this plan. Otherwise, Xin'ao will face bankruptcy, and by then, our family will be living on the streets..."
When Shen Xin heard what she said, she hugged her Xiang shoulders with pity in her eyes and vomited softly. Xiang Xiang said: "Yun'er, I'm sorry for you. Actually, you don't have to work so hard. Let's withdraw from Xinao Group. , with our savings, we can still live a good life. If you bet all your wealth this time, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to look back? "
"Don't be afraid!" There was a trace of determination in Lan Yun's eyes: "Mom, those old guys want to sell Xin'ao to the Chen family, and I won't do what they want. Hum, when this prospecting is successful, I will take those Buy back all the old guy's shares. By then, Xin'ao will be completely ours. If we want to continue doing it, we can continue doing it. If we don't want to do it, just close the door. I just don't want to take advantage of those ungrateful people who want to take advantage of our orphans and widowed mothers all day long. The bad stuff!"
Lan Yun said, with a hint of guilt in her eyes: "Mom, I took the risk to come up with such a big plan this time and got you involved, I'm sorry..."
Shen Xin smiled softly: "Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? You are my precious daughter. No matter what you do, I will support you. Don't worry, even if this prospecting plan fails, those people have no right to touch us. . Let me tell you, there is still a secret fund in the Swiss bank. Even if Xin'ao does not exist, the women in our family can still live freely."
"What? Our family also has a secret fund in a Swiss bank? Why didn't I know about it?" Lan Yun was stunned.
"They say it's a secret fund, so what does it matter if you know it?" Shen Xin smiled sweetly: "But it's not too late for you to know now, so you can go ahead and do it with confidence. It doesn't matter if you fail. The worst is nothing. It's just the loss of Xin'ao. With that fund, we, your sister, Yulan, and your aunt will travel around the world and enjoy life."
When Lan Yun heard what she said, she couldn't help but patted her chest and said with relief: "Mom, it turns out that you have been hiding something for a long time. I also said that this time it was a last-ditch battle. Now I am finally relieved..."
When Lan Yun said this, what suddenly occurred to her mind? She lost her voice and said, "No, if I had known we had such a back-up plan, why would I have gotten engaged to a boy from the Chen family? My sister doesn't want to see me even now!"
Shen Xin sighed softly: "You can't say that. The difficulties faced by Xin'ao are on the table. That secret fund cannot be seen and cannot be used except in emergencies. This time you and Chen Jiaxu agreed Snake, using the funds of the Chen family to make this plan can be regarded as adding a layer of security to our family. In other words, no matter what the outcome is, we will not have a retreat. This is why I did not forcibly stop you and Chen The reason why the boy got engaged."
When Shen Xin said this, there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and she pondered for a while and said: "Also...don't think so badly of Lin'er. Although she has liked the boy from the Chen family since she was a child, she doesn't love him that much. No matter how hard it is, when she left the headquarters, it was not just because of your engagement with the Chen family boy, but also because of our family..."
"What did you say? Mom, you said she was doing it for her family? Why can't I understand..." Lan Yun was stunned again, her eyes full of questions...
The plan for a year begins in spring, and the plan for a day begins in the morning. When a ray of morning light from the east emerges from the dark clouds, the earth that has been silent for a night gradually wakes up, the mist dissipates, and all kinds of creatures begin to get busy...
Today is the day to set off. Ning Xiaofan got up early. Before setting off, he carefully checked all the equipment. Outdoor tents, moisture-proof mats, three-piece sleeping bags, as well as outdoor supporting equipment waterproof flashlights, campsites
In addition, there is also testing equipment specially prepared for him by Lao Wang of the Logistics Department, as well as a set of specialized blasting equipment specially prepared by himself.
This equipment seems to be a lot, but it does not take up much space. Outdoor supplies and testing equipment can all be stored in a backpack. Of course, the set of blasting equipment is specially placed in a small constant-temperature aluminum box with a leather cover on the outside.
Cross-shoulder bag.
After careful inspection, I put the backpack on my back and the cross-shoulder bag on my shoulders. I felt the weight and found that it felt fine and I didn't feel it was strenuous.
When I walked out of the apartment door, there were already many people in the corridor, either waiting for the elevator or calling friends. Most of them were carrying outdoor bags. It seemed that the Xin'ao team was not the only one who set off this morning.
Ning Xiaofan had to go to the little goblin, so he didn't go to meet Hou San, Zhang Chun and others.
Taking the elevator all the way down, outside the apartment building, there were team members coming and going everywhere, making it a busy and noisy scene.
Ning Xiaofan walked all the way to the parking lot, opened the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz Cross-country, put away the equipment, and drove the Mercedes-Benz Cross-country directly towards the villa area.
Villa No. 9 looked relatively quiet, and I didn't see any security personnel. I parked the car, went up the steps of the villa, rang the doorbell, and it was Aunt Xiang who opened the door.
However, what surprised Ning Xiaofan was that she was actually wearing outdoor clothing, a sun hat on her head, a yellow jacket, canvas pants, and a pair of hiking boots. She looked quite energetic.
"You're here, come in quickly, I've already prepared breakfast..."
How about enjoying breakfast? Aunt Xiang’s gentle smile made Ning Xiaofan’s heart tremble slightly.
I followed Aunt Xiang into the villa. The dining room was behind the living room partition. As soon as I entered, I saw that the little fairy was already sitting at the dining table, and there was a breakfast placed in front of her table.
The little fairy is also wearing outdoor clothes. She no longer looks lazy and enchanting in the past, but has a bit more youthful atmosphere.
When the little goblin saw him coming in, he just looked at him briefly and didn't say hello, but continued to enjoy his breakfast.
"Xiao Ning, sit down..." Aunt Xiang greeted Ning Xiaofan, followed, turned and entered the kitchen, and brought out a breakfast.
Breakfast is relatively normal, with fried eggs, sausage, a glass of milk, and a few pieces of fruit.
After breakfast, the little fairy answered a few calls. In the middle of answering the phone, the little fairy glanced sideways at Ning Xiaofan: "Go and put Aunt Xiang and I's equipment into the car, and we're ready to go."
Ning Xiaofan knew that he would have to work hard as soon as he came here early in the morning, but with just two backpacks, the hard work was nothing. He was just a little unhappy with her rude language.
After putting away their backpacks, Ning Xiaofan waited for a while and then saw the little fairy and Aunt Xiang walking out of the villa.
When she came to the car, the little fairy thought for a while, turned to Aunt Xiang and said: "Aunt Xiang, this journey has been very hard. Otherwise, you should follow Auntie on a helicopter to the mining area..."
Aunt Xiang smiled softly: "Sister Lin Xiaonuo, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Since Madam has asked me to take care of you, I will follow you wherever you go..."
There was a trace of guilt in the little goblin's eyes: "I'm sorry, Aunt Xiang, I wanted to hike into the mountains myself, and I made you tired too."
After hearing this, Aunt Xiang said with a hint of anger: "Sister Lin Xiaonuo, I have watched you grow up, so it would be too outrageous to say that you are being implicated? Besides, I haven't exercised for a long time. This time I hiked into the mountains.
Just think of it as exercising..."
When the little fairy heard what Aunt Xiang said, she could only say: "Aunt Xiang, if you are tired on the road, just ask and I will let that boy carry your backpack for you. Really, there is no need to be polite to that boy."
Aunt Xiang chuckled and shook her head: "No, no, the backpack is not heavy, I can carry it myself..."
The two of them talked and got into the car one after another. Aunt Xiang went directly to the passenger seat and sat down, while the little fairy got into the back seat.
After the door was closed, Ning Xiaofan started the car and drove out of the villa area.
The gathering place was in the parking lot of the reception center. When we arrived at the parking lot, there were already six Mercedes-Benz SUVs waiting there.
The little goblin didn't get out of the car. After using the walkie-talkie to contact the team members in the six cars, he said "Let's go."
Counting the off-road vehicle driven by Ning Xiaofan, there were a total of seven Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicles that set off together. However, Ning Xiaofan noticed that there were dozens of off-road vehicles ready to go in the parking lot. It was probably because of different teams that set off.
The time is also different.
Starting from Base No. 1, it is about a thirty-kilometer drive to the Shennongjia Scenic Area. Since it was still early in the morning, there was not much traffic on the road, and there were no traffic jams. In less than 20 minutes, five Mercedes-Benz cross-country vehicles
The small convoy entered the Shennongjia Scenic Area.
The developed area of Shennongjia Scenic Area is not large, just a few mountains. If you go deeper, it is a nature reserve. Except for explorers who go deep into it, there are almost no tourists.
There is a road in the scenic area that leads directly to the back mountain. However, this road only lasted 20 kilometers before it reached the end. The rest of the journey had to be walked on foot. In other words, Ning Xiaofan and his party had to walk through the scenic area before they could truly enter.
The primitive old forest of Shennongjia.
Soon, the road came to an end. There were one or two small hotels and about a dozen shops beside the road. In front of the shops, there was a simple parking lot.
Xinao Group was quite well prepared this time. There were still staff stationed in this simple parking lot. The off-road vehicles were parked and their own staff took care of them. Everyone opened the trunk and took out their equipment.
After getting out of the car, Ning Xiaofan noticed who was traveling with him. In addition to the fat man from the development department, Hou San, Zhang Chun, Chen Biao, Yang Yanan, An Ruoshui and others, there were also about a dozen foreigners and Hong Kong people.
Nationality, members of the expert team composed of Taiwanese nationals.
Ning Xiaofan originally thought that it was just a team from the Development Department hiking, but he did not expect that the members of the expert team were also treated equally and had to enter the mining area on foot.
