Chapter 43: Rumors about the big water monster.
"Uncle He, please contact some fish merchants in advance. When we have a catch, we can sell it. The money can be directly added to the village fund. I think it would be a good idea to build a road in our village."
"That's a good idea!"
……
Four p.m,
Wang Chen returned home with the contract and reservoir information documents.
"You're back, son? How's everything?"
Grandpa said proudly, "I've already stepped in, how can Xiao He not give me face? He agreed right away and didn't even dare to ask for money."
Wang Jinguang: “???”
Lin Xiangzhi: “???”
What a good compliment to yourself!
Wang Chen opened the file and showed it to his parents.
"Everything has been arranged. I asked the village chief to find me more than 20 water pumps. They will be shipped here tomorrow. Then we can connect the pipes to the depression and pump the water!"
"Is a depression okay? Why don't you just find two excavators and dig it up a bit more, and put some stone slabs on it."
Dad suggested.
"That's fine, Dad is smart. I'll do as you say during the insurance period."
Chatted for a while.
Wang Chen didn't have dinner.
He also has to meet the museum director in the evening.
……
online.
Wang Chen was not on the hot searches yesterday and today.
Many netizens once thought that Wang Chen had cooled down.
Many popular stars breathed a sigh of relief.
It feels so depressing to be suppressed by Wang Chen every day!
……
Bamboo Forest Hotel.
As the most formal, low-key and luxurious hotel in Zhengyang City.
Naturally, it is a place frequented by dignitaries.
Half past six in the evening.
Wang Chen parked the car and went to the ninth floor.
After looking at the boxes on both sides, he dialed the phone.
"Hey, Uncle Yang, which room are you in?"
"Are you here?" Yang Qing asked with a smile.
"Yes, on the ninth floor."
"Then I'll bring Director Huang to pick you up!"
"No, just tell me the room number."
How could Wang Chen ask Shu Ji to come and greet him? It was not appropriate.
"Wait a minute. I'll ask Huanhuan to pick you up."
Yang Qing hung up the phone in a hurry.
Wang Chen stood in the corridor waiting.
After a while.
A fair-skinned girl appeared in Wang Chen's sight.
She has a delicate and petite face and beautiful bright eyes. She has a pink piggy bag on her waist, wears a blue dress, black leather shoes and white lace socks.
Showing purity.
Yang Huanhuan looked at Wang Chen and asked stutteringly:
"Hello, are you Wang Chen?"
"Uh...right."
"Yes, that's right. My dad asked me to pick you up. Come with me." Yang Huanhuan seemed a little socially anxious. She spoke in a low voice and avoided his gaze.
"Ah."
Wang Chen was quite surprised.
Following him, listening to the clattering sound in his bag, he asked curiously, "Are you a pig farmer?"
"Yes, it should be!" Yang Huanhuan nodded vigorously.
"What's in your bag? It looks heavy."
"cell phone."
“All cell phones?”
"Well... every time I sell piglets and don't know what to do with the money, I buy a phone I like."
"Ok."
Wang Chen shook his head speechlessly.
What a quirk.
Buying a bag of mobile phones and carrying them around makes me tired just by looking at them.
After arriving at the box, more than a dozen bigwigs stood up and shook hands with him.
What follows is all sorts of compliments and praise.
After dinner, we took a group photo.
"Xiao Chen, add Huanhuan to your WeChat account. Young people have more topics to talk about. My daughter has never liked to talk and has no friends since she was young. You can give her some advice when you have time."
After saying that, Yang Qing patted Wang Chen on the shoulder.
"Okay." Wang Chen nodded and took out his cell phone.
Yang Huanhuan's face flushed.
He glanced secretly at Wang Chen and gave him a thumbs-up.
Director Huang said, "Thank you so much, Xiaochen. The research significance of this snake coffin is very important. I didn't expect you to donate it unconditionally."
"Hey, there aren't many young people like you anymore. Come and have tea with me when you have time?"
Drinking tea again... Wang Chen complained in his heart. Leaders all like to drink tea?
After going out, Wang Chen was sent to the car by everyone and left.
……
In the parking lot, Director Huang sat in the back seat of the car, put away his smile, and returned to his serious image.
"Xiao Wang, drive back."
"Okay, Director. Have you drunk alcohol today? I've prepared some hangover soup for you."
Wang Bo was complacent.
He was proud of his attentiveness.
He had fought hard to be the curator's driver today, so of course he had to take care of all the operations involved.
Wang Bo firmly believes that one day he will be able to climb to a higher position.
and.
The biggest surprise for him today was that he actually met Yang Shuji!
Windfall!
"I must tell my dad about it when I get home and make him happy!"
In a blink of an eye, a bunch of little thoughts flashed through Wang Bo's mind.
Director Huang nodded and said, "Have a drink. You've put in a lot of effort. Wait for you to work for another three years, and I'll see if I can get you a team leader position."
"Thank you Director Huang! This is what I should do!"
Wang Bo laughed excitedly in his heart.
He brought honor to his family!!
At half past nine the next morning.
Wang Chen stretched himself facing the green hills and took a deep breath of the cool air.
"Well, let's go see how the water is being pumped!"
Today he had a rare late nap, it was so comfortable!
Wang Chen started the live broadcast.
"Brothers, I told you yesterday to have a big game, now I'm going to show you the results!"
Done.
He also doesn't care what netizens say in the live broadcast room.
Get on a motorcycle.
Xiao Hui was at his feet, making "嘤嘤嘤" sounds and acting coquettishly.
"Want to go out?"
"Ow!"
Wang Chen lifted it by the neck and held it in his arms.
"set off!"
After walking one kilometer and leaving the village, the mountain was right in front of the village.
Wang Chen knew that there was a path that could go directly around the mountain without having to walk.
When it was about a few hundred meters away from the reservoir.
He heard the rumbling sound of the water pump.
More than twenty diesel water pumps were running at the same time, and the sound was deafening.
You can smell the fishy smell of the water from a long distance away. That's because the mud and fish cakes at the bottom of the water are stirred up and sucked out, which is not normally odorable.
Arrived in front of the reservoir.
Many villagers who were idle at home came to help spontaneously.
Some were helping to refuel the diesel water pump, while others were placing water pipes as thick as pythons.
"The scenery is nice, where should we go digging, Lao Wang?"
"Didn't you say there was a surprise? Where is it?"
"Green water and green mountains, what are these people doing?"
Seven million netizens in the live broadcast room were curious.
Due to Wang Chen’s inaction in the past two days, the traffic in the live broadcast room has declined a little.
But the subscription is still there.
Wang Chen no longer hid anything and pointed the camera at the water pump.
"Let me tell you something. Have you seen those pumps and excavators?"
"The surprise I want to give you is that I plan to drain this reservoir and then go down to dig for treasure!"
He finished.
The barrage in the live broadcast room paused for a moment.
Netizen: “???”
They were shocked by these "tiger and wolf words".
My brain freezes.
After a few seconds, the barrage came to life and... exploded!
Netizens excitedly sent barrages of comments.
"Oh my God! Lao Wang, you are really crazy!"
"You are definitely out of your mind this time!"
"Such a large reservoir, you want to drain it to dig for treasure?"
"What on earth is Lao Wang doing? What's the point of draining it? There's nothing else down there except rotten fish and shrimp."
"If nothing unexpected happens, you will become a hot topic tomorrow and be laughed at by countless people!"
Netizens really think that Wang Chen’s behavior is crazy.
Such a large reservoir is going to be drained.
And draining it is just for treasure hunting!
Wang Chen held up his phone and smiled, "This reservoir has been idle for a long time. Instead of letting it go to waste, we might as well drain it and see what's there. Maybe we can find some rare creatures."
"I heard from villagers before that someone saw a big water monster in the center of the reservoir, a very large thing swimming, but no one knows what it is."
