Qin Yulan smiled slightly: "Isn't that what I was about to tell you? For this prospecting, we formed a total of three teams, one was a joint team organized by Xin'ao and Chen's, and the other was an inspection organized by Xin'ao and Jiangnan University
team, and the other one is the team organized by your development department..."
When Qin Yulan said this, he paused slightly and said: "Things have changed now. Most of the joint teams of Xin'ao and Chen's are still on the way. It will take more than a week to gather all the people. This time the advance team is only
Manpower can be drawn from the team that arrives first. Therefore, the manpower of the advance team can only be formed from those who arrived among you.
I remember telling you before that the team of the development department was privately invested by Director Lan and me. According to the original plan, Director Lan led the expert team and I led the staff of the development department. Now Director Lan is recuperating in the medical center and is temporarily recovering.
If I can't lead the team, I will lead the expert team, and you will be in charge of the development department."
Ning Xiaofan was slightly startled. "I will be in charge of the development department?"
Qin Yulan nodded and said: "Well, you are the captain of the development team. However, you don't need to bring so many people. Two people have to follow me, one is Yang Yanan and the other is An Ruoshui."
At this time, Aunt Xiang said: "These two people have been with me before, and were later assigned to the Development Department, mainly to take care of Miss Lin nearby. Now the expert team is led by Director Qin, and with these two people following, it is somewhat safe.
"
Yang Yanan? An Ruoshui?
There was a trace of doubt in Ning Xiaofan's eyes. A tomboy and a sissy. What kind of safety can these two men and women guarantee?
Aunt Xiang seemed to see the doubts in Ning Xiaofan's heart, but she smiled lightly and did not explain further.
Qin Yulan sighed softly and said: "Xiaofan, you also saw this meeting. The number of the advance team was strictly controlled, and the number of armed personnel was correspondingly reduced. Since there are mostly experts on my side, Tingxiang
My aunt said that you have good skills, and when the time comes, security will be tilted towards me, which means that your team will not be equipped with armed personnel, and all means of self-protection will have to be relied on by you."
Ning Xiaofan was very confident in his own skills. He thought for a while and said, "I have nothing to do here. Your safety is important."
Qin Yulan glanced at him charmingly, with a sweet smile in her eyes: "That's what I say, you should also pay attention to yourself. To be honest, I originally disapproved of you leading the team, but there is nothing I can do, Aunt Xiang
I insist on letting you lead the team, and I won’t let it go.”
There was a trace of resentment towards Aunt Xiang in Qin Yulan's words. How could Aunt Xiang not understand the truth? She said lightly: "Xiaofan is not alone now. A grown man can't hide behind a woman to enjoy his blessings, right?"
It’s about being responsible.”
Qin Yulan listened and sighed softly: "Yes, Xiaofan, this can be regarded as a test for you. You also know that your mother's family is full of weak women, and it will be impossible without a man to support it. It's just a grievance.
You. As soon as I met Yu Ma, I have to take responsibility for this family. To be honest, I regret introducing you to my aunt now."
Ning Xiaofan already knew that Yu Ma's family had an only daughter. For this mining exploration, her godmother also sent her only daughter out. You can imagine her helplessness. He immediately expressed his position: "Don't say that, since Yu Ma's side needs
I, I should be able to share the burden."
Ning Xiaofan's statement made Aunt Xiang and Qin Yulan look at each other, with a bit of relief in their eyes.
Next, Qin Yulan explained in detail some precautions about going into the mine, and Aunt Xiang also added a few words from time to time. Ning Xiaofan knew that going into the mine was not an ordinary danger, so he did not dare to be negligent and listened very carefully.
…
Before we knew it, it was lunch time.
The three of them didn't go to the cafeteria, but called lunch to their residence.
After lunch, Aunt Xiang and Qin Yulan seemed to have their own things to do and left their residences one after another. As a leader of the advance team, Ning Xiaofan naturally couldn't be idle and had to prepare for going to the mine.
The quota of the team led by Ning Xiaofan has been determined, namely Fatty, Hou San, Zhang Chun, and Chen Biao. Counting Ning Xiaofan himself, there are only five people in total.
Although this small team has a small number of people, according to Qin Yulan's wishes, the small team he leads is not subject to anyone's control and is completely free to perform.
Of course, it was Qin Yulan's intention, but Ning Xiaofan had a vague feeling that it was the intention of the person behind her. And whether the person behind this refers to the senior management of Xinao or his own mother Yu, there is no way to know...
Since we had to prepare for going to the mine, we had to gather the team members first. So, after having lunch, Ning Xiaofan also left his residence and walked towards the living area of the wooden house Shiran.
The boardroom area is the living area for team members and staff, and is divided into four areas: southeast, northwest and northwest. Xinao Group's living area is located in the east. The conditions are naturally not as good as those of large suites with elegant environment. However, it is very popular.
When we arrived at the living area of the wooden house, we could see people coming in and out from time to time. Next to an artificial garden, there was also a simple outdoor coffee square with more than 30 outdoor coffee seats, almost 80% of which were occupied.
Ning Xiaofan was originally going to the accommodation area to find Fatty and others, but when he passed by the outdoor coffee square, he saw Fatty and others.
Fatty seems to be the kind of guy who likes to enjoy things but doesn't like sports. It's not surprising to meet him here.
The weather is nice today, the spring sunshine is shining warmly on me.
Fatty, Monkey, Zhang Chun, and Chen Biao looked like they were really enjoying themselves. They were all lying on the couches, with their eyes slightly closed, enjoying the sunbathe.
Ning Xiaofan stepped forward and kicked the wicker chair under Fatty's butt: "Damn Fatty, you really know how to enjoy it."
The fat man opened his little eyes and saw that it was Ning Xiaofan. He said lazily: "What a rare visitor. Why did you even think of coming here if you don't accompany your beautiful lady?"
Ning Xiaofan smiled nonchalantly, stretched out his hand to pull out a chair, sat down, and said, "Are you jealous? Just state your jealousy clearly, and I don't mind at all."
The fat man rolled his little eyes and said, "Oh, you have become thicker-skinned, you have made progress, and you don't fall for the fat man's trap."
"Brother Xiaofan, you are here." At this time, the monkey winked and greeted Ning Xiaofan. Zhang Chun and Chen Biaoxu opened their eyes and glanced at Ning Xiaofan, nodded as if to say hello, and then narrowed their eyes.
, continue their sunbathing.
Ning Xiaofan was too lazy to talk nonsense with the fat man and said directly: "Okay, don't be sour. I have something serious to tell you."
As soon as he said he had serious business, the fat man didn't react at all. He still leaned lazily on the wicker chair and said: "Leader, just tell me if you have any instructions."
Leader? As soon as the fat man said these words, the monkey's eyes moved wildly, not knowing what he was thinking. Zhang Chun and Chen Biao opened their eyes and sat up a little straighter.
Ning Xiaofan glanced at the fat man and said with a smile: "You see that I am going to be your leader."
The fat man chuckled: "Nonsense, during the meeting this morning, you were sitting in the main seat. Fatty, I could only sit against the wall. Now you come here to talk about business with the brothers. What are you if you are not a leader?"
"Well, since you can see it, I won't stop talking nonsense. Yes, I am your team leader now." Ning Xiaofan said it clearly without any explanation.
Hou San said: "Brother Xiaofan, where is the eldest sister?"
Before Ning Xiaofan could answer, the fat man glanced sideways at Hou San and said, "Idiot, my eldest sister is lying in the hospital. If not, do you think this guy can be the team leader?" The fat man said, sitting upright.
At one point, he looked at Ning Xiaofan and said: "In the morning meeting, it was said that we would leave in three days. There should be no change in this. You came to us this time. So, Hou San and I are both members of your team. Let's talk about it. What is needed?
What preparations do I make?”
Talking to smart people is not a waste of effort. Ning Xiaofan smiled and said: "The date has been confirmed. You are right. You, Hou San, Zhang Chun and Biaozi are in a team with me. I am looking for you this time just to talk to you."
Talk about preparations for going down to the mine."
The fat man's eyes flickered: "You only mentioned the four of us, where are Brother Yanan and Sister Shui? These two are also from our development department, won't they follow us into the mine?"
"Just the four of you, Yang Yanan, An Ruoshui and Director Qin's team."
"Ah, Brother Xiaofan, you mean, including you, there are only five people in our team?" Hou San said in surprise.
The fat man chuckled and said: "Xiao Fan, you are a bit heavy-handed as a leader..."
"Go, no matter how wet you are, I am still your leader after all..." Ning Xiaofan said angrily: "What, you are not convinced, let's have a fight if you are not convinced."
"Okay, you've done the surgery, and the fat man will have a serious show with you." The fat man said with a vulgar look, Monkey, Zhang Chun laughed out loud, but Chen Biao's brain reaction
Sluggish, confused expression, not knowing what it means.
Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but sweat. He had used these words to hurt Fatty. Unexpectedly, this guy remembered it very clearly and took revenge.
It was rare for the fat man to speak seriously, and he would go further and further. Ning Xiaofan endured a breath of anger and changed to the topic: "Let's stop talking nonsense and talk about the mine. Fatty, this mine is not what you and I imagined."
It's so simple, it could kill someone..."
As soon as Ning Xiaofan said these words, the expressions of the four fat men became silent and they stopped laughing and joking.
The fat man sighed and said: "Hou San and I are well prepared for this. Last time we went to the Sahara for prospecting, several people died. This time we arrived at the field. Just looking at the scale of the base, we knew it was not easy. Today
After the early meeting, I received a piece of information about going into the mine from Director Qin, and I showed it to Hou San and the others when I came back. Fatty, I know this life is dangerous, but I didn’t expect it to be even more dangerous than I imagined.
It’s dangerous. If I had known this, Fatty, I should have made more preparations.”
