"It's okay to tell you."
The white fox's voice was as clear and sweet as a young girl's. "Of course, our Yi sect doesn't care about the little money earned from the quarry. What our Yi sect cares about is the meat of the land."
"What is ground meat?"
Although Xu Lian still had the memories of the original owner, the original owner was just a stonemover and knew very little.
The white fox said, "Earth meat is a spiritual creature that grows underground. It is considered a specialty of Green Bamboo Town. It usually grows in the cracks of rocks. If you perform a blood sacrifice every once in a while, it is possible to draw out the earth meat. This is why my Yi Cult has taken a fancy to these quarries."
Hearing this, Xu Lian's heart seemed to flash with lightning, and he figured out some things.
No wonder the original owner was killed by falling rocks.
No wonder he was almost hit.
Also, people die in the quarry every now and then. It turns out this is a blood sacrifice.
"Fuck! This Yi religion is too evil. The miners work so hard, but they are still sacrificed for their blood."
"The murderer who killed the original owner and the one who harmed me was not Zhang Yuan or Liang Yan. The Yi Cult was the mastermind behind it."
Xu Lian cursed in his heart but didn't dare to show it.
He bowed again with a respectful look, "Thank you for your guidance, Mine Inspector."
The white fox said, "You know my identity and the secrets of the quarry. I ask you again, are you willing to work under me?"
I already know all this, how dare I say no... Xu Lian bowed hastily, "I am willing to follow the Mine Inspector and follow his lead!"
He didn't know what the status of this mining inspector was in the Yi Religion, but from the current perspective, it seemed like a good idea to embrace this vixen's "short legs".
"Um."
The white fox nodded slightly in satisfaction, turned around and disappeared into the bushes.
"Hmm" and he left? Xu Lian was a little confused. Didn't they agree to let him work under them? Didn't they arrange for him to do something
He glanced deep into the bushes, but found no trace of the white fox. He shook his head slightly and had to drive the donkey cart to continue his work of transporting stones.
After a bumpy journey, the stones were transported to the town's dock.
After the stone movers at the dock unloaded the truck and loaded it onto the ship, he drove the empty donkey cart back.
The mine also has "targets" for stone transporters. Donkey carts like his, which are paid two rations, must transport stones back and forth between the mine and the dock at least eight times a day, otherwise their rations will be deducted.
"Xu Lian, come here for a moment."
He had just returned to the mine driving his donkey cart when he saw Manager Han Du walking towards him quickly and waving at him.
What could the manager want from a stone carrier like him? Xu Lian was surprised and wondered what the white fox might have said to the manager.
Han Du took him to a room similar to an "office" and looked at him strangely, "Do you know the Mine Patrolman?"
As expected, it was exactly what the white fox said... Xu Lian thought for a moment and said, "It's not that we know each other, we just met once."
Han Du gave him a deep look and said, "You don't have to hide it from me. The mine inspector said that you are his. He asked me to arrange a position of deputy manager for you first. When a new mine is opened in the future, he may transfer you there to serve as the manager."
"Thank you, Mr. Mining Inspector, for your cultivation, and thank you, Manager Han, for your care."
Xu Lian was a little flattered. He skipped the position of supervisor and went directly to deputy manager of the mine. It was a meteoric rise to the top.
Of course, such a promotion was just a casual remark to the mining inspector and was nothing in itself.
He did not feel complacent about this. After all, it was because of his own strength. If he did not have the strength of a warrior in the Skin Refining Stage, the Mine Patrol would not even look at him, let alone promote him.
strength.
strength.
He kept this in mind: this is the benefit of strength.
Han Du waved his hand slightly and said, "You don't have to thank me. We are all working under the Mine Inspector, and we have to take care of each other in the future."
Xu Lian said, "Of course."
Han Du smiled and said, "I am more than 20 years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Han from now on."
Xu Lian said quickly, "Manager Han is still young, so you can't call me uncle. I have to call you Brother Han."
Han Du laughed, "Brother Xu is really good at talking."
Xu Lian had no choice but to laugh along, just like in his previous life, when he saw his leader laughing, it was no problem for his subordinates to laugh along, no matter if it was funny or not...
"Brother Xu, follow me."
Han Du took Xu Lian out of the registration office and ordered all the supervisors and miners to gather together so that he could give them a lecture.
The supervisors looked at Xu Lian, who was standing next to Manager Han, with strange eyes. They sensed something unusual, but they didn't know what was going on.
The miners gathered together happily. They liked listening to Manager Han's lecture very much because it gave them the opportunity to take a break. Who wouldn't like not having to work
"Listen to me all of it."
Han Du raised his voice and said, "From now on, Xu Lian is the deputy manager of the mine. What he says is equal to what I say. Do you understand?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.
More than a dozen supervisors and hundreds of miners were all shocked. They didn't understand why Xu Lian had suddenly become the deputy manager of the mine
When they came to their senses, there was an uproar.
"Xu Lian was originally just a stone mover. He was able to do the job of a stone mover after Liang Yan took care of him. Why did he suddenly become the deputy manager of the mine?"
"Could he be a relative of Manager Han?"...
Han Du frowned and shouted, "Quiet."
The overseers and miners had no choice but to keep quiet.
Han Du looked at Xu Lian, "Brother Xu, do you have anything to say?"
The supervisors and miners were dumbfounded and felt incredible. They were sure they had heard correctly that Manager Han actually called Xu Lian "Brother Xu". Why was he calling him like that? It seemed like he was on an equal footing
Xu Lian coughed lightly and spoke slowly, "I have just become the deputy manager of the mine, so let me just say a few words. In the future, I hope the supervisors and miners will cooperate with my work. I would like to thank you in advance."
The overseers and miners were all silent, their eyes fixed on him, as if they were getting to know him all over again.
Han Du said, "Brother Xu, don't worry. Anyone who dares not to listen to you will have trouble with me!"
Xu Lian nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Handu ordered the group to disperse.
A dozen supervisors quickly gathered around, bowed to Xu Lian, and said some flattering words with a smile. They didn't know why Xu Lian became the deputy manager, but it was always right to give him some face first.
"Manager Xu, you don't have to pay me back the fifteen taels of silver you owe me. Just consider it my gift to you."
Liang Yan also walked over with a very stiff smile on his face.
Yesterday, the three strong men he sent to rob Xu Lian on the road died in a roadside ditch. Today, Xu Lian has turned into the deputy manager, which makes him feel cold in his heart.
I have already realized that Xu Lian must have some background. He has offended someone he shouldn't have offended. I just hope it's not too late to make amends now.
"How can this be possible? Am I the kind of person who doesn't pay back the money I owe?"
Xu Lian felt amused and glanced at Liang Yan indifferently, "If you don't pay back the money you owe me, how can I, the deputy manager, work in the mine? What prestige do I have?" Liang Yan's face darkened. From what Xu Lian said, it seemed that he did not accept the settlement.
Xu Lian patted his shoulder gently and said, "I have to pay it back, but I just became the deputy manager and I don't have much money. I can only do it slowly, don't you think?"
Liang Yan's body was stiff, his face was also stiff, and he kept saying "yes."
"It's only fifteen taels of silver, a small matter. Brother Xu's monthly salary will be enough."
Han Du was unaware of the hatred between Xu Lian and Liang Yan, so he invited Xu Lian in for tea.
Xu Lian didn't say anything more to Liang Yan and followed Han Du into the house. They did need to talk about the treatment.
