Chapter 446: Chapter 446 She Wants to Go to Diannan Chapter 446: Chapter 446 She Wants to Go to Diannan You should know that this jade mine has been excavated for almost over fifty years now.
The Gu Family’s jade mining is of a nature where they nurture while extracting.
Miners only need to work for a few months each year, and during the rest of the ti, the Gu Family’s jade mine would be in a state of recuperation and regeneration.
During this period, the miners’ wages would still be paid as usual.
That is to say, the Old Patriarch was nurturing both the jade mine and the workers.
This is also part of why Yubao Square beca the leader in the industry.
Even if it had changed hands in the past, eventually, it returned to the control of Gu Qingfeng.
Although the jade mine paid hefty taxes every year, after all, that was a minor concern.
It could be said that the jade mine is a pillar supporting both the Jade Carving Workshop and Yubao Square.
If this pillar were to collapse, then Yubao Square would truly beco an ordinary antique shop.
It could only resort to buying and selling second-hand goods.
What difference would there be from the other antique shops?
After all, they had beco leaders in the Imperial Capital because they had their own jade mine.
But now one problem after another had occurred.
Gu Qingfeng stood up and instructed Zhang Yi, “Book a ticket to Diannan imdiately. I want to see it for myself.”
How could Gu Qingfeng sit idly by after such an incident?
You should know that this kind of major accident was a first.
Zhang Yi hesitated.
The distance from the Imperial Capital to Diannan spanned several thousand miles, and even if the Old Patriarch’s health was good, it was uncertain what the conditions would be like there.
If anything untoward happened, it would be disastrous.
After all, currently, the Old Patriarch is the backbone of the Gu Family.
If sothing were to happen to him, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Zhang Yi, anxious, spoke up, “Old Patriarch, are you sure your health can handle it?”
“At this ti, what does it matter whether my health can handle it or not? Just book the flight imdiately, the earliest one available.”
“Old Patriarch, the flight can’t go directly, and from the closest airport to the jade mine, we still have to travel over eight hundred miles, plus the mountain roads are difficult to navigate…”
“I know, stop wasting ti!” Gu Qingfeng frowned and ordered again, “Book the flight right now.”
At this point, Gu Qiaoqiao finally snapped back to reality.
Her mind started spinning rapidly.
The jade mine had an accident.
Everything was fine before, so how did an accident happen?
Could it be soone’s doing?
Also, her great-grandfather’s health can’t handle such a long journey to Diannan.
After all, the distance from the Imperial Capital to Diannan was several tis farther than the distance to Border City.
And in terms of conditions, it couldn’t compare to Border City at all.
There, the terrain was mostly steep mountains, where so places were just winding mountain roads with no trains at all.
Furthermore, back in the Imperial Capital, the Old Patriarch was indispensable.
He needed to hold the fort here.
Gu Qiaoqiao made up her mind, turned to Gu Qingfeng with a solemn expression, and seriously said, “Great-Grandfather, let Uncle Zhang and go.”
Gu Qingfeng frowned and glared at Gu Qiaoqiao, “You go?”
“Yes, I’m the successor of the Gu Family now, isn’t it normal for to go?”
Gu Qingfeng shook his head, “No, you’re just a young girl and cannot go.”
Qiaoqiao was still a young girl, no matter how capable, he couldn’t let her go to Diannan.
If anything happened to her, how would he explain it to Lady Yu?
Given the current strained relationship, if sothing else happened to Qiaoqiao, Lady Yu would certainly be furious with him.
So Gu Qingfeng firmly disagreed.
But in the end, after Gu Qiaoqiao’s insistence, along with Zhang Yi’s persuasion and after evaluating the current situation,
Gu Qingfeng reluctantly agreed.
However, he insisted that Uncle Gu accompany them as well.
