Chapter 498: Who isn't short of money?

Wang An organized his thoughts and told Zhang Shuya about the gold mine, and also informed her that he would be going to pan for gold soon.

However, from beginning to end, Wang An never mentioned the location or address.

Currently, except for Wang An himself, even Wang Dazhu, his wife, and Mu Xueqing didn't know the location of the gold mine.

This wasn't because Wang An was deliberately hiding it from his parents and wife, but because for normal people, the address of such a place deep in the mountains is impossible to explain.

To tell the truth, even Wang An himself didn't know the exact location of this gold mine.

It was mainly because Wang An himself had never been there; he only knew about it from news reports in his past life, and now, combined with a map, he only knew the general area.

In short, Wang An would have to find it once he got to the area.

After hearing about the gold mine, Zhang Shuya immediately said with excitement and agitation:

"Little Brother, my dear little brother, is there really such a good thing? In that case, are we about to get rich?"

To tell the truth, Zhang Shuya's words and her reaction completely stunned Wang An.

Because in Wang An's imagination, Zhang Shuya should have been frowning and silent; after all, if such a thing were reported, it would definitely be a solid achievement.

Seeing Wang An's stunned expression, Zhang Shuya, who was excited, couldn't help but stiffen, and then she said with a face full of confusion:

"What's the meaning of that look?"

Wang An came back to his senses and said with a smile:

"I thought you would be selfless, cast me aside, and report this news directly."

Zhang Shuya frowned and said:

"What does this have to do with me? I'm not from a mineral exploration team."

Wang An asked with some surprise: "Then as a police officer, if you report this, wouldn't you be credited with an achievement?"

Zhang Shuya suddenly realized and said: "You mean that? That would definitely be an achievement, but compared to that, I need money more. That's gold, gold!"

When she said the word "gold," Zhang Shuya almost shouted it.

It could be seen that even a second-generation like Zhang Shuya needed money.

Wang An said subconsciously:

"You're already driving a car; are you still short of money?"

Zhang Shuya rolled her eyes at Wang An and said:

"That car isn't mine; it's my grandfather's. I'm just driving it for now, you know?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An was quite shocked, because in Wang An's previous view, Zhang Shuya's father's official position was already quite high.

But what Wang An never expected was that Zhang Shuya's grandfather was the most terrifying existence.

It must be said that there is a good old saying: "Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and a rat's son can dig holes."

Three generations of Zhang Shuya's family were all in politics.

Before Wang An could recover from the shock, Zhang Shuya continued: "Ask anyone in China, who isn't short of money?"

Wang An nodded and subconsciously thought of Wu Dong and Wang Shuai back then, who went to trade furs for money.

Before Wang An could respond, Zhang Shuya said quite helplessly:

"I've long wanted to resign. The life I'm living now is meaningless day after day."

Wang An asked: "Then what do you want to do?"

Hearing Wang An's question, Zhang Shuya became nervous again and said: "I want to do business. Look, China is currently vigorously reforming and opening up. What is the purpose of that? It must be to improve the economy, right?"

Following that, Zhang Shuya analyzed the current situation for Wang An and talked about a lot of things Wang An already knew. Although many of Zhang Shuya's ideas were immature and sounded full of loopholes, it had to be admitted that what Zhang Shuya said would soon be realized one by one.

Finally, Zhang Shuya extended an olive branch to Wang An, saying she wanted Wang An to do business with her.

This suggestion left Wang An feeling both amused and annoyed, mainly because when it came to doing business, Wang An could be a teacher to all the businessmen of this era.

However, Wang An really had no interest in doing business. Since he had been reborn, if he were to walk the same old path as his past life, what would be the purpose of being reborn?

Therefore, Wang An hurriedly refused: "My current livelihood is quite good. Let's forget about speculation. If you ask me, you should wait two years. Once everything is on the right track, then it won't be too late to think about doing business."

Before Zhang Shuya could speak, Wang An continued:

"We should first take out the information you want; when we set off, I will definitely tell you."

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Zhang Shuya said somewhat unhappily:

"The tone you're using sounds exactly like my stubborn father. We're still 'crossing the river by feeling the stones'; who knows when it will be on the right track?"

Wang An shook his head and laughed: "Don't worry, Big Sister, it will be very fast. By then, it will be so fast it will be hard for you to believe, hahaha."

Zhang Shuya rolled her eyes at Wang An again and said with great disdain:

"Tch, you talk as if you can predict the future."

Wang An didn't respond, just laughed "hahaha."

Mainly, Wang An was afraid that if he told the truth, he would be treated like a lunatic by Zhang Shuya and beaten up severely.

About half an hour later, the sled arrived in front of the hollow stone mountain.

Zhang Shuya discovered that apart from the stone mountain in front of them, there were no other mountains nearby, so she asked Wang An with great surprise: "Are you saying this stone mountain is hollow?"

Wang An replied casually:

"Indeed, this is the place, absolutely no mistake."

Taking advantage of the time Wang An was feeding the horses, Zhang Shuya began to wander around the mountain.

But no matter how carefully Zhang Shuya searched, she still didn't find where the entrance was.

After Wang An finished feeding the horses, he shouted to Zhang Shuya: "Big Sister, stop looking, there's no entrance over there."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuya ran back and asked with genuine disbelief: "This mountain is quite impressive; you can't tell at all that it's hollow inside."

Wang An replied casually:

"Indeed, those little devils were quite vicious when it came to researching how to dig holes."

Zhang Shuya also said casually:

"That's true. Anyway, apart from doing human things, the little devils have done everything else."

As they spoke, Wang An took the lead and walked forward.

When the two arrived in front of the pile of rubble, Wang An pointed to the direction of the entrance and said:

"The entrance is under that stone slab that's half-exposed."

Zhang Shuya sighed and said:

"These animals are really capable of researching; they put an entrance in a pile of rubble."

Wang An said: "Indeed, it took a hell of a lot of effort to find this entrance back then."

The siblings walked to the stone slab, lifted it, and walked into the stone mountain.
