Chapter 705: Generous
Ruan Yongjun was in the kitchen. When he saw Lu Xingzhi come down, he gave Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao’s share of the meal to him separately. Naturally, there was a difference in treatment between friends and guests.
“Karu is back. I asked him to come over later. He’s quite happy to hear that there’s a new guest.”Ruan Yongjun smiled. “There have been quite a number of people coming to the mine over the past two days. Look for Karu. I’ll let them earn less of your middleman fee.”
After Ruan Yongjun finished speaking, he looked around. After making sure that no one was there, he leaned closer to Lu Xingzhi and said in a low voice, “The task that you asked Karu to find someone to do has been completed. It’s just something that happened on our way back. This matter has caused quite a stir.”
“This is my fee for Karu’s hard work.”Lu Xingzhi did not say much. He directly took out a small cloth bag from his pocket. With a slight shake, a crisp sound could be heard coming from inside.
Ruan Yongjun took it and poured it out. When he looked at it, he saw two gold bars as thick as an adult’s finger. He was so scared that he quickly stuffed it back into his pocket. He was shocked. “You’re really generous!”
“Of course.”Lu Xingzhi did not have much of a reaction. He patted Ruan Yongjun on the shoulder and left with the plate in his hand.
About an hour later, Carl knocked on the door of Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao’s room. Seeing the smile on his face, Lu Xingzhi guessed that Ruan Yongjun had given the things to Carl, and Carl was very satisfied.
“Mr. Lu, it’s my first time meeting you. I’m very happy.”
Karu was a local of the town. He was about the same age as Ruan Yongjun and was a good friend of Ruan Yongjun since they were young. However, Ruan Yongjun went to join the army, while Karu continued to mingle in the town. Until now.., karu was more promising than Ruan Yongjun, a veteran. Everyone in the town knew that Karu knew many people. The bosses of the mines had to give karu some face.
Karu was a very famous and prestigious middleman in the town. He was in charge of many people’s business and took profits from the middle.
For example, for this mine business, if Karu recommended someone to go, the mine owner would give karu a sum of money as thanks. If the deal was concluded, Karu would also receive an additional commission.
It was indeed the first time that Karu met Lu Xingzhi, but that did not stop him from expressing his enthusiasm and welcome to those who were generous.
When he heard that Lu Xingzhi was going to see the mine with another person and that both sides were planning to buy the mine, the smile on Karu’s face did not falter for even a second. When he learned that Lu Xingzhi was in a hurry and was going to leave YN tonight, karu immediately arranged for a car and a driver, he brought Lu Xingzhi, his wife, and Huang Chengjing to the mine.
The car that Karu arranged was much better than Ruan Yongjun’s modified car. Although there were many people, there was no shortage of suvs. Each person had a SUV, and there were quite a few cars that crossed the mountains and left the small town.
Jiang Yao was unfamiliar with the people here, the scenery here, and everything here. She did not dare to be sure. If she was not accompanied by Lu Xingzhi, if she had come with Huang Cheng, she would be very nervous right now.
To her, Lu Xingzhi was like a mountain that she could lean on at any time, giving her stability and courage.
It was said to be more than 20 kilometers, but in reality, the off-road car still took more than half an hour to reach. The moment everyone got off the car, the people around immediately looked over, perhaps because there were too many people, or perhaps because Karu was a famous person.
Jiang Yao didn’t understand what they were saying, but she could see some emotions from their expressions.
