The two people came back from the mountain. When they passed by the village entrance, they saw several old people gathering around the village entrance to bask in the sun.
When they saw Gu Nuan coming, they all said hello to her.
Some of them were unknown to Gu Nuan, and some were known to her.
But these old people have more or less received things sent back from Kyoto by Gu Nuan.
Sometimes it’s food, sometimes it’s some cold-resistant clothing.
Therefore, these old people have a very good impression of Gu Nuan.
"There are a few more centenarians in our village this year." Wen Mingtang said with a smile, "Now the life in the village is easier."
"So, I have to thank you." Wen Mingtang said with emotion.
Because of Gu Nuan's move, the village leadership also began to pay attention to the centenarian.
In this way, the life of the elderly in the village can be better.
While the two were talking, Wen Mingtang stopped.
What was he talking about?
I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Sure enough, I met Wang Ting, a classmate from Wen Mingtang's investment office, in front of Gu Nuan's house.
When he saw Wen Mingtang, he smiled and said, "I went to your house and said you weren't here, so I guessed you might be here."
Then he said to Gu Nuan, "Hello, Comrade Gu Nuan, my name is Wang Ting, a high school classmate from Mingtang."
"Hello." Gu Nuan asked after shaking hands with him, "Are you looking for Uncle Mingtang?"
"No, no, no, I'm here to find you." Wang Ting smiled naively, "Can I talk to you?"
"Is it something about the mine?" Gu Nuan spread her hands, "I just went to see it with Uncle Mingtang, but... it's a bit difficult."
Wen Mingtang glanced at Gu Nuan.
"This..." Wang Ting was a little embarrassed.
"Go to my place," Wen Mingtang pointed at Gu Nuan, "She just came back."
"Okay, okay, okay." Wang Ting said hurriedly.
He was a little anxious, so he ran over just after getting the news.
When they arrived at Wen Mingtang's house, Wen Mingtang's wife made some tea and drank it. Then Wang Ting said, "It's quite difficult."
This was the biggest project of the year in their county, and it turned out to be a scam.
Everyone has been having a hard time recently, especially their investment office, which is looking for people everywhere to see if they can take over this project.
But... there was no sign of anyone.
No, he just ran over when he heard that Gu Nuan was back, although he also felt that Gu Nuan might not take over.
But...what if?
"This incident has a big impact on the county, and I think it has a big impact on the people in our village," Wang Ting said.
Gu Nuan smiled and said nothing.
"I was still thinking that if you come back at this time, you might be interested in this project."
"You misunderstood this," Wen Mingtang said, "I called Xiao Nuan back."
Wang Ting was surprised.
"My horizons are small and I don't understand many things," Wen Mingtang said. "That foreign businessman seems unreliable."
The land beside the mountain belongs to their village. After it is expropriated, the livelihood of the villagers and future security are all things that he, as the village chief, needs to consider.
Therefore, he sent his son there just to ask Gu Nuan about the feasibility of this matter.
I just didn't expect that the county would be so fast, let alone that foreign businessmen would make money and run away so quickly.
But he never expected that Gu Nuan would be willing to come back and take a trip into troubled waters after knowing that the foreign businessman ran away with the money.
Wen Mingtang's words made Wang Ting blush with embarrassment.
If he had listened to Wen Mingtang, he would have investigated this foreign businessman, or asked the county to go to the market and hire an expert to investigate.
That wouldn't be such a big fall.
Now, the higher-ups are investigating this matter and are looking for someone to take the blame. Who could this person be?
It's possible for anyone.
Especially when someone like him in the Investment Promotion Office is neither high nor low, he can be dragged out to take the blame.
"I wonder what our county chief is planning later?" Gu Nuan asked with a smile, "If we want to do the same as before, it will definitely not work."
Who says it isn't?
Wang Ting sighed and smiled helplessly, "There are still people who believe that we can mine ore here."
Moreover, it is said to be a gold mine.
In this day and age, anything related to mining is money.
Why is the Yubei area so rich? It's because they have coal mines there.
At that time, it was this gold mine that blinded everyone, so even such a simple trick could not be broken.
"If you want to take over, I can mention it to the county." Wang Ting looked at Gu Nuan and said seriously.
After much thought, he always felt that Gu Nuan would need to take over this matter in the end.
As for the reason, he thought, maybe when he entered the village, he saw those old men and old ladies sunbathing comfortably, that was the reason.
Sancha Village is the village with the best living standards, public security, and neighborhood relations in the entire county.
Gu Nuan waved her hand, "You think too highly of me."
Wang Ting was a little disappointed, but he could understand it. After talking to Gu Nuan and Wen Mingtang for a while, he rode his bicycle away in despair.
"Xiao Nuan, tell me the truth, are you really not interested in that?" Wen Mingtang asked Gu Nuan after seeing off the people.
"It's okay if there is a mine, but if there is no mine? Who is willing to spend so much money on a useless thing?" Gu Nuan said.
"However, I do have a purpose for coming back this time," Gu Nuan smiled, "Uncle Mingtang, have you noticed that the people in our area have some characteristics?"
"What characteristics?" Wen Mingtang was stunned, not understanding what Gu Nuan said.
"Actually, that's what you said just now." She smiled, "You said that our village has gained a few more centenarians in the past two years."
This is what he said just now.
Because Gu Nuan always sends things back based on the number of centenarians in the village, and they just registered the new centenarians some time ago.
"Then have you noticed that people here live long lives?" Gu Nuan smiled.
"Longevity? That's true." Wen Futang said with a smile, "People here do live a long life."
But what does this have to do with mining?
Could it be that gold mines can also make people live longer?
"I've invited people to come over and take a look," Gu Nuan said, "Firstly, they'll take a look at the water quality here, and secondly, they'll take a look at the soil."
Water quality and soil?
Wen Mingtang didn't understand.
"As long as you have an idea of this matter," Gu Nuan smiled and lowered her voice and said, "We'll wait until the results come out."
She initially thought that if the soil here was suitable for growing ginseng, it would encourage everyone to grow ginseng.
This is also a way to make a fortune.
But when I entered the village today and saw those centenarians, it gave Gu Nuan some ideas.
She remembered that in later generations they seemed to have built a mineral water factory nearby. Sales were pretty good at first, but it later closed down due to poor management.
