Chapter 370 - Xiao Ming's Offspring

Gu Ming looked at Chen Yang’s smiling face and felt irritated, yet he didn’t dare to get rough with Chen Yang.

After several deep breaths, he said resentfully, “You only have the right to dividends, not the right to inquire, understand?

When our mine starts or stops has nothing to do with you!”

“Oh?

Really?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang revealed an expression as if things finally made sense.

Then he immediately took out his phone and muttered to himself, “I’m not very knowledgeable about this, but I don’t believe what you say.

I’d better call General Manager Gao and ask if I truly don’t have the right to inquire.”

With that, Chen Yang was about to dial the number.

Seeing his actions, Gu Ming became somewhat anxious.

“Why are you making a call?

Is the general manager so free that you have to call about everything?”

Gu Ming reprimanded him.

Chen Yang nodded naturally, “Yeah, if I don’t understand something, of course, I should call and ask!

Otherwise, what if you deceive me?”

Chen Yang feigned ignorance, genuinely about to make the call.

Gu Ming felt urgent, but even more, angry.

He knew Chen Yang was using Gao Ya to threaten him.

If he didn’t answer the previous question, Chen Yang would make the call, and surely Gao Ya would scold him.

But if he did answer, it would be like slapping his own face.

Finally, just as Chen Yang was about to dial out, he chose to slap his own face.

“Put down the phone!

Can’t I just tell you?”

Gu Ming strode forward and reached out to snatch Chen Yang’s phone.

But how could he possibly snatch it, when Chen Yang simply drew back his hand and dodged.

“Little Ming, why bother?

Can’t you just tell me straight up?

Why do you always make me bring up General Manager Gao before you’re willing to talk?”

Chen Yang teased Gu Ming with a sly smile.

Gu Ming was so irritated that he gritted his teeth, feeling an urge to rush over and bite Chen Yang.

“Let’s hear it, then.

If you’ve constructed temporary sheds, does that mean you’re preparing to start work?”

Regardless of his reaction, Chen Yang directly asked the question he wanted to know.

Gu Ming clenched his jaws, replying furiously, “That’s right!

We’re about to start work.”

“But don’t you still lack heavy equipment?

How will you start work?”

Chen Yang continued to inquire.

“The road for transporting equipment will be completed in the next couple of days.

We’ll drill a couple of exploratory holes first, and once the equipment is transported up, we can immediately start work.”

Gu Ming begrudgingly revealed all of their plans to him.

After listening to Gu Ming’s explanation, Chen Yang showed an enlightened expression.

“Alright then, Little Ming, you carry on with your work; I’ll be leaving now.”

Having asked his questions, Chen Yang turned and left, greeting Gu Ming as he departed.

Gu Ming almost exploded with anger at Chen Yang’s gesture.

Why are you greeting me?

Am I that familiar with you?

That was what Gu Ming thought, but he didn’t shout it out.

He knew that if he did, Chen Yang would definitely turn back and start an argument with him.

Now, when dealing with Chen Yang, he followed the principle that less is more and tried not to provoke Chen Yang if possible.

Gu Ming continued unloading materials at the clinic’s entrance while Chen Yang leisurely visited Zhang Xueying’s home, checked on the old Mr.

Zhang, and then teased Xiaoxiao for a bit.

Later, he wandered around the village department for a while, chatting with Wu Kexin and the like.

An entire morning passed quickly.

When it was noon, Chen Yang took Wu Kexin back to the clinic, ready to start preparing lunch.

He had promised Wu Kexin yesterday that she would get medicated cuisine today.

So, this noon, Wu Kexin didn’t even wait for Chen Yang’s invitation and directly followed Chen Yang back to his place.

Chen Yang was busy in the kitchen while Wu Kexin stood by, watching him make the herbal cuisine.

The method of making the herbal cuisine wasn’t very difficult; even Wu Kexin could remember the specific steps after watching it once.

When she saw such delicious herbal cuisine being made in such a simple way, she couldn’t help but feel astonished.

This wasn’t the first time she had seen the preparation of herbal cuisine, but it was definitely the simplest method she had ever seen.

What amazed her was that such a simple method could produce such delicious herbal cuisine.

How strange was that?

“Chen Yang, your herbal cuisine is made so simply, yet why does it taste so good?

And the effects are so strong?”

Wu Kexin didn’t hide her curiosity and asked whatever was on her mind.

Upon hearing this question, Chen Yang didn’t answer directly but casually uttered a few words.

“Have you heard of the idiom ‘great truths are always simple’?”

As soon as Chen Yang said this, Wu Kexin was taken aback once again.

She felt that Chen Yang was unfathomable.

After a brief moment of surprise, Wu Kexin immediately pressed on, “I’ve heard the idiom, but I don’t quite understand it.

Can you explain it to me?”

Wu Kexin pressed for an answer, but Chen Yang didn’t reply and just gave a faint smile, presenting a very profound demeanor.

Seeing that Chen Yang wouldn’t answer, Wu Kexin thought it must be some secret and thus didn’t continue to inquire.

But the reality was, Chen Yang didn’t know how to explain it to her, which was why he had reacted that way.

Chen Yang’s preparation of herbal cuisine was entirely based on the methods recorded in the classic ‘Herbal King’s Scripture’.

As for the principles behind it, Chen Yang really didn’t understand them.

The herbal cuisine and lunch were ready in no time.

Seeing the steaming herbal cuisine, Wu Kexin couldn’t wait to start eating.

“Hey, slow down, no one is fighting with you for it.

Why are you in such a hurry?”

Chen Yang laughed.

Wu Kexin gave Chen Yang a glare but did not say much, simply reducing her pace of picking up the food somewhat.

Like that, the two of them happily enjoyed their lunch together.

After lunch, Wu Kexin wasn’t in a hurry to return to the village office; instead, she stayed at Chen Yang’s home for a while longer.

The sun was scorching outside at that time, making it rather too hot to go out.

So the two of them just sat in the clinic and chatted for a while.

During the conversation, Chen Yang mentioned that yesterday Li Han had said she missed Wu Kexin.

Wu Kexin was touched upon hearing Chen Yang say that.

“Indeed, I’ve been missing Li Han and Ruoxi too.

I’ve been busy all this time and haven’t had a chance to hang out together.”

As she spoke, Wu Kexin held her face in her hands, beginning to reminisce about the joy of their past times together.

“If you miss them, why not visit them in the county?

It’s not that far, and now I even have a van, so it’s very convenient,”

Chen Yang, lying on a rocking chair, said.

His words interrupted Wu Kexin’s memories, and she turned to look at Chen Yang for a few seconds before shaking her head, “Let’s forget about that for now.

I’ve been too busy recently to have time for that.

Let’s wait until Li Han’s done with the busy period at the hotel, and after I’ve settled Gu Family’s mining issues.

After that, it’s not too late for all of us to get in touch.”

Chen Yang thought about it and agreed.

Recently everyone had been busy, and he himself had many things left undone.

“You’re right, let’s each finish up our own business first and then get in touch.

I need to go to the county this afternoon if I’m free, to prepare more of the critical medicinal materials,”

Chen Yang nodded to himself and then slowly closed his eyes, hoping to take a nap before helping out at Li Han’s hotel in the afternoon.

Seeing that Chen Yang planned to sleep, Wu Kexin didn’t disturb him and sat quietly by his side, not speaking.
