266: Chapter 265 The Journalists Have Arrived 266: Chapter 265 The Journalists Have Arrived “It’s just bleeding, right?” Liu Hun did not hesitate and pulled out a check from his pocket, saying to Bai Lingfei, “Within three days, I want all the assets of the mining to be handed over. All the heavy machinery and equipment should be transported to 31 Pingyuan Road in Anchang County. Additionally, I need to rent an office for five days.” “Mr. Liu, you really think I’m omnipotent, huh? My capabilities are limited,” Bai Lingfei enjoyed the feeling, furious as she had been that day. Liu Hun tore off another check and handed it to Bai Lingfei, saying, “You fill in the number!” Bai Lingfei originally wanted to toy with Liu Hun to vent her frustrations, but suddenly received a message, so she nodded in agreement. She kept Liu Hun’s check and said, “Everything will be settled within three days, Mr. Liu—no need for farewells!” Liu Hun did not want Bai Lingfei to see him off anyway; he had a lot of other things to handle and immediately left the law office with Zhong Xiao. As soon as Liu Hun left, Bai Lingfei leaned back in her chair, seemingly talking to the air, “You only know how to help outsiders! You don’t care when I’m bullied!” The invisible voice, still enticing, spoke from the shadows to Bai Lingfei, “Though the boss didn’t say it, I can tell he values Liu Hun greatly. This man will definitely not be our enemy, and he might very possibly... Anyway, we can’t do what Red Spider did.” “Always stopping mid-sentence, so annoying! Go away! I don’t want to hear it; I’ll be toiling away for the next three days!” Bai Lingfei finished speaking to the voice in the shadows, then started to busy herself with tasks for Liu Hun. After Liu Hun and Zhong Xiao left the law office, Liu Hun immediately called Huang Zishan, the clever and bizarre little driver who had once been at his service, but since he became the executive director at Hu Group, Huang Zishan had been reassigned to Qingdie’s personal side. “Zishan, is Chairman Hu there?” Liu Hun got through to Huang Zishan’s phone, asking her. Although he knew Qingdie’s number, he still wanted to inquire indirectly about her recent situation, not wanting to bother her if she was too busy with other matters. “Heehee, you guess!” Huang Zishan, who hadn’t received a call from Liu Hun in a long time, was very pleased. Liu Hun did not have time to play games with Huang Zishan and said directly, “Stop fooling around, is Chairwoman Hu busy lately? I need a team experienced in mining operations, just to borrow temporarily. Does the group have one?” “Hmph! You don’t even ask how I am after I’ve driven you for so long!” Huang Zishan complained, but despite her complaints, she still told Liu Hun, “The group certainly has such operations. The chairwoman isn’t too busy lately, don’t worry, I will let her know.” “I have limited time; everything must be settled within three days,” Liu Hun instructed Huang Zishan, knowing well that this girl often did the unexpected. “Don’t worry! There won’t be any problem. I’ll keep you posted once it’s handled,” Huang Zishan said, and after making Liu Hun laugh a bit, she hung up the phone. Zhong Xiao drove onto the provincial highway then asked Liu Hun, “Boss Liu, where are we heading?” “To the place with the most journalists—Wanbao Village!” Liu Hun replied to Zhong Xiao. You reap what you sow, indeed. When Liu Hun’s car stopped at the entrance of Wanbao Village, the mob of journalists surged forward without even a glance at the crooked-necked old locust tree. “Mr. Liu, are you the legal representative of Jinxin Mining? There’s news suggesting Jinxin Mining is just a shell company, what’s your take on that?” “Mr. Liu, Jinxin Mining’s court auction price was only over two million; does the company have the capability to mine?” “Mr. Liu, is it true as rumored that you will mark up the mining rights or use the mine as collateral for a loan to start mining? Does this constitute cheating?” “...” Facing a barrage of questions like snowflakes, Liu Hun did not plan to answer any as he headed straight to his two-story building with Zhong Xiao. Ordinary people might have been blocked by the crowd of journalists all day, but Liu Hun, with his superpower, and Zhong Xiao, an extraordinary special forces soldier easily twisted and turned their way into the two-story building like rolling in butter. “Clatter!” The world quieted down significantly the moment the door shut, yet the persistent knocking still made the women inside feel somewhat afraid. Liu Hun loosened his tie, took a sip of tea, introduced Zhong Xiao to a few women, and then began to explain. “No wonder they’re called paparazzi! They really bite as soon as they sniff out something! No way! You can’t spoil them like this. I’ll go and drive them away!” Qin Yue, however, had a fiery temper that couldn’t tolerate this. Liu Hun quickly held her back and said, “Don’t go! Dealing with these reporters isn’t like dealing with villagers; you can’t use those methods on them. They’re really desperate for a story. If you go out there, they’d be even more pleased.” “What should we do then, just let them make a fuss like this?” Qin Rou asked Liu Hun with a frown, annoyed by their incessant “click-click-click” of cameras. Luo Xiangjun casually said, “Just let them make a fuss, they’ll leave by evening anyway.” “What if they come back tomorrow?” Bai Lian blurted out. “Then we won’t let them leave!” Liu Hun slapped the table and said, “Everyone listen up, now you all head out the back door, get ready with tea, fruits, snacks, all the good food and drink. If standing is uncomfortable, we’ll provide stools and chairs, if sitting isn’t comfortable, then we offer them tents and bedding.” “This is like serving a lord!” Qin Yue really didn’t understand why Liu Hun would do this. Liu Hun explained with a smile, “These reporters are all rushing to dig into the secrets of Jinxin Mining, all coming for me. If I keep them under my watch, it actually saves me trouble and gives me peace of mind. If these media reporters are not under my supervision, start digging around asking questions, and actually find something, it’d be a huge headache! Plus, we should try to get their contact information.” This was actually only Liu Hun’s first goal, the second naturally was to buy time for the arrangements, so that these reporters wouldn’t spoil things. No sooner said than done, Qin Yue and several women quickly got the villagers moving. Wanbao Village’s fruits, tea, even the semi-processed food from Xiao Fang’s factory that was distributed to the villagers, were all prepared. “Go on, eat! Just eat, eat, eat, don’t be afraid! This isn’t some pesticide-fertilizer-made stuff. Look at this bright color, how could it be made from pesticides? Don’t be afraid! What’s there to fear, if not, I’ll take a bite for you!” Old Li was stuffing a pear into a reporter’s hand, scaring the reporter with the enthusiasm reminiscent of the Red Army, to the point that they hardly dared to reach out a hand. “Crunch!” Old Li bit into it and grinned, showing his yellow, stained teeth, “See that? Crunchy, tastes like chicken! Ever heard of fragrance chicken? That’s just nonsense from the fellows in the neighboring village next door. This, this is the real fruit fragrance!” “Wanbao Village’s tea~hey~that’s a hundred-year old tea~tea of the Tea King~come and try~” Wang Dajiao sang his own made-up comic duet, serving tea to the reporters one after another. “Do you know how much this meal costs? This one pear ten yuan! Not selling for a cent less! Look at you all happy, don’t believe me? Go ask around, whoever comes has to fight over it! Don’t spit it out, don’t spit! I’m not asking you for money, just keep eating and drinking!” Zhang Ju also hustled along with Qin Yue. The reporters originally here to dig into Jinxin Mining one by one were dumbfounded, having never seen anything like this! They all had self-awareness, knowing that they were generally disliked everywhere, but today in Wanbao Village, they truly became honored guests for a while. The villagers of Wanbao Village were all chatters. For miles around, anyone they could grab to boast to had likely heard it twice over already. Hey, this time, they had reporters to talk to, and they went at it like storytelling on a bridge, regardless of whether others wanted to listen, catching them for a fierce round of bragging. Come noon the next day, all that remained at the front door of Liu Hun’s two-story building were piles of clothes and equipment, as all the reporters were taken by the villagers to tour Wanbao Village. Those who went up the mountains did, those who went down the rivers did, eaters ate to their hearts’ content, tea lovers dove into the tea gardens to drink up. Originally planning to dig up insider information, they ended up burying themselves in the digging. By the night of the next day, Liu Hun had finally received the news. Bai Lingfei told him that all the tasks he had assigned were completed perfectly, spending two hundred thousand to smooth over some relationships. For Liu Hun, it was fantastic news. The following morning, Huang Zishan also sent news: the team was ready, even all sorts of qualifications and accounting records were prepared, all genuine artifacts from a mining company under the Hu Group, just borrowed for use. Everything was ready to go; Liu Hun immediately gathered Qin Yue and others. After a few days of harmonious and pleasant interaction, Qin Yue had indeed lived up to Liu Hun’s expectations, collecting almost all the reporters’ contact information. “Mixer, what are we going to do next?” Qin Yue asked Liu Hun, she really felt these reporters probably didn’t want to leave anymore. Liu Hun said to Qin Yue and the others, “Now, go to the village entrance and get pots ready for cooking, have everyone go to the village entrance to eat. Later, I’ll leave with Zhong Xiao through the back door, let someone blend into the crowd and shout that Liu Hun has run away.” “Alright!” Although Qin Yue and the others didn’t quite understand Liu Hun’s intention, they would surely do as he had said. Half an hour later, while all the reporters were slurping noodles at the village entrance, suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, “Liu Hun has run away!” “Liu Hun... who is Liu Hun?! These noodles are good ah! So tasty... Liu Hun! Liu Hun has run away! Everyone, quick, chase him!” A reporter was slurping noodles, at first truly forgetting what his trip was about, but then suddenly coming to his senses.
