384: Chapter 384: The Two Won et 384: Chapter 384: The Two Won et The registration work went on all morning.
By noon, no one else was coming.
At that ti, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin were no longer sitting outside but had gone to the office.
Sitting in the office, Wu Kexin and Chen Yang tallied up the number of miners and the cooking staff.
After so calculation, a total of over three hundred people had co to register for mining in the morning.
And there were only a little over ten people for cooking.
Among these cooks, many were only recruited after Chen Yang had put in so effort to persuade them; otherwise, most would have registered as miners.
Fortunately, having a little over ten people for cooking was enough.
Recruiting too many cooks wouldn’t be easy to explain to Gao Ya.
“Everyone who should have co has almost arrived; I’ll organize the data a bit and then send it to General Manager Gao.”
After completing the statistics, Wu Kexin prepared to make a spreadsheet and then send it to Gao Ya.
But Chen Yang stopped her.
“Wait a second, I need to add two more people.”
Chen Yang took the notebook and pen, then wrote down Zhang Xueying’s na, as well as the nas of Heipi and his group.
Zhang Xueying’s na was added to the cooking list, while Heipi and his group’s nas were all noted down.
Wu Kexin didn’t react when she saw Chen Yang write Zhang Xueying’s na.
But when she saw him write down Heipi’s na, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you include Heipi and his gang?
Are they willing to work?”
“Yes.”
Chen Yang nodded.
“They were discussing it with this morning.
They said the inco from roaming the hills is unstable, and they wanted to work in the mines for a steady inco, and asked to arrange it.”
Chen Yang spoke as he wrote.
“Oh, okay then.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Kexin didn’t say much else.
After Chen Yang finished writing and handed her back the notebook, she began working on the spreadsheet.
She spent roughly half an hour on the spreadsheet.
Once it was done, she sent it to Gao Ya.
Seeing that Wu Kexin had finished and that it was getting late, Chen Yang invited her to have dinner at his house.
Lately, Wu Kexin had beco sowhat addicted to Chen Yang’s dicinal cuisine, so she agreed without hesitation.
“Sure, I’ll co over for dinner, just make sure to prepare so beautifying dicinal dishes for .”
Wu Kexin said with a smile.
Chen Yang gave her a helpless look, “Of course I know that.
How could I forget about yours?”
With that, the two of them returned to the clinic, where Chen Yang headed straight for the kitchen to start preparing the al.
Before long, everything was ready.
They both sat down to a hearty al.
After dining, they wanted to sit and rest for a while, but Wu Kexin’s phone kept ringing with the sound of incoming text ssages.
Wu Kexin picked it up to take a look, then replied earnestly.
Seeing Wu Kexin’s serious deanor, Chen Yang grew curious about who had sent the ssage and peeked over.
He discovered it was a response from Gao Ya after reviewing the spreadsheet.
Gao Ya expressed her gratitude and then discussed subsequent plans and the arrangents for starting work at the mine the following day.
As the head of Liuhé Village, Wu Kexin naturally had to fully cooperate with Gao Ya.
Therefore, Wu Kexin was continuously conversing with Gao Ya, discussing the arrangents for the next day.
Seeing the nature of the ssages, Chen Yang lost interest in reading further and decided he would just ask Wu Kexin about it after she finished her conversation.
Thus, Chen Yang lay back on the rocking chair, quietly waiting for Wu Kexin to finish.
He waited for more than half an hour.
“What did she say?
Do we need to provide any assistance?”
Seeing Wu Kexin put away her phone, Chen Yang imdiately inquired.
Wu Kexin looked at Chen Yang and said succinctly, “Nothing much, just that heavy machinery is coming to the site tomorrow, and their staff will be busy.
She wants us to help organize the villagers to gather and maintain order.”
Wu Kexin stated simply.
Chen Yang responded with an “oh” and didn’t say much more.
But just then, Wu Kexin suddenly stood up and said, “Oh, Chen Yang, there’s one more thing I need your help with.”
“What is it?”
“Isn’t tomorrow the official start of work?
We still haven’t bought the food ingredients or the big pot seasonings, and such.
Could you take to the county town this afternoon to pick up so things?
We’ll get the mine to reimburse us later,”
Wu Kexin said.
Upon hearing there was real work to be done, Chen Yang imdiately stood up.
“No problem, let’s go.”
“Mm-hmm, let’s go.”
Wu Kexin smiled, then exited the door with Chen Yang and got into the car.
Once in the car, Chen Yang quickly rolled up the windows and turned on the air conditioning.
Chen Yang usually didn’t use air conditioning when he was alone.
From a traditional Chinese dicine perspective, using air conditioning too much wasn’t good; it could damage the body.
Plus, it wasn’t typically hot inside the car, so he rarely turned it on.
But with Wu Kexin in the car, it was different.
He couldn’t exactly tell Wu Kexin that using the air conditioner too much was bad for one’s health, could he?
After turning on the air conditioning, Chen Yang started the engine and drove straight toward the county town.
When they arrived at the county’s agricultural and miscellaneous market, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin, much like a married couple at a fair, ticulously selected goods and haggled over prices.
After an afternoon of picking and choosing, they barely managed to buy everything needed.
Pots, pans, ladles, and basins, as well as essentials like grain, oil, and salt.
In total, they spent several thousand yuan, all of which was provided by Chen Yang.
Wu Kexin had initially insisted on paying, but with a single comnt from Chen Yang that he was a shareholder of the mine, Wu Kexin stopped insisting.
Once they had made all the necessary purchases and loaded the car, both were ready to head back.
But at that mont, Wu Kexin expressed her wish to visit Li Han at Lin Tianxia.
“Sure, then let’s go see Li Han and hang out.”
Chen Yang agreed, and then they drove off to Lin Tianxia with a car full of stuff.
When Chen Yang arrived at the back courtyard of Lin Tianxia, Wang De, seeing the car loaded up, thought Chen Yang had brought sothing for the hotel.
“Old Wang, this stuff isn’t for the hotel, so please don’t unload it.”
Realizing Wang De’s misunderstanding, Chen Yang quickly explained, “This is what I need to take back.”
Wang De, realizing his mistake, laughed sheepishly, “Got it, got it.”
“Mm-hm, you go ahead with your work, I’m going upstairs for a bit.”
Chen Yang smiled and nodded, then headed into the hotel with Wu Kexin and took the elevator to the top floor.
When they reached the top floor, the warmth between Wu Kexin and Li Han was evident.
As soon as they saw each other, Li Han burst out from behind her desk to give Wu Kexin a bear hug.
Embracing each other excitedly, they held on for a long ti without letting go.
Chen Yang stood to the side, slightly put out, thinking to himself: Why don’t they get this excited and passionate when they see ?
Chen Yang’s annoyance wasn’t truly heartfelt; it was just a brief flash of jealousy.
In fact, seeing their strong relationship made him feel quite pleased inside.
After a long, excited embrace at the entrance, they finally let go of each other.
After releasing each other, Li Han imdiately invited them to sit at the coffee table and served Wu Kexin her best tea.
“Kexin, what brings you here today?
I just got the hotel on the right track and was planning to visit you in the village these next few days,”
Li Han said while brewing the tea, with a smile.
A smile also appeared on Wu Kexin’s face: “The village’s mine is about to open, and Chen Yang and I ca to the county to purchase so grain, oil, and other essentials.
We thought we’d drop by to see you, as I’ve been really busy lately and haven’t had the ti to co over.”
“I see, I’ve heard about the village mine from Chen Yang.
It’s a good thing for Liuhe Village, and as the village head, you naturally have to give it your all,”
Li Han said with a smile.
“Yes, it’s a good thing, but it’s really busy; I have to deal with so much every day, I’m all in a whirl,”
