Chapter 798: Discovery of a Second Rare Earth Mine!

All the grievances in the face of sweet talk instantly collapsed and were defeated!

"I was quite anxious, but I knew you had good judgment and would certainly be able to escape safely," Du Xi said softly. "It was the two mothers who were suffering from insomnia every day and couldn't even eat. I told myself I had to stay steady; if I fell apart, they wouldn't be able to hold on at all."

Tang Ye's tone was full of tenderness: "I really didn't expect you to be so strong. Being able to marry you is truly the greatest blessing of my life."

Du Xi couldn't help but laugh, with a hint of reproach: "You, don't try to use sweet talk to get away with it. You must pay attention to safety when doing things in the future; you can't be so reckless again. Your family is still waiting for you."

Tang Ye felt warm inside and quickly replied: "I know, I know! If I encounter anything in the future, I will definitely think thrice before acting, and I will absolutely not let you worry again!"

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ye recalled everything that had happened over the past few days, and he still felt lingering fear.

The situation this time was indeed too dangerous.

In the face of the power of nature, human beings are truly too insignificant.

He had always prided himself on being meticulous in his plans, but this time there was still an oversight.

He had not expected the mudslide to erupt ahead of schedule.

Especially at that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, like Zhuge Liang at the Battle of Shangfang Valley, facing the heavy rain and sighing that "man proposes, God disposes."

Of course, he was much luckier than Zhuge Liang.

In the end, he escaped safely.

Now it seems that everything was the best arrangement.

After tidying up a bit, Tang Ye found Ou Xiye, his expression becoming serious: "Secretary Ou, there is something I need to report to you privately. Although this encounter with the mudslide was extremely dangerous, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. I made a very important discovery on the mountain..."

Ou Xiye and Tang Ye went to a secluded place.

"What discovery?"

Tang Ye took out the stone he had kept from the mountain from his pocket.

"Secretary Ou, I accidentally found this stone on the mountain. Dr. Gao is a geological Expert, and he knows a lot about the composition of various stones. Although this stone has not undergone professional testing, it can be roughly determined to be fluorite."

"Fluorite?" Ou Xiye placed the stone in his hand to observe and study it.

The stone appeared purple, emitting a gorgeous and mysterious color in the sunlight.

Tang Ye explained patiently, "Yes. Fluorite is known as the most gorgeous and colorful mineral in the world. Its colors are ever-changing, from a pure white texture to emerald green tones, and then to deep purple and azure charms; all of them are breathtaking.

Moreover, the beauty of fluorite is not limited to its appearance; it also demonstrates excellent strength in the industrial field.

Known as the 'second rare earth' and 'industrial monosodium glutamate,' fluorite plays an indispensable role in many important fields such as metallurgy, building materials, and aerospace."

A look of surprise appeared in Ou Xiye's eyes; he finally understood why Tang Ye had been so mysterious.

The high value of the ore meant that it could be a shortcut to wealth.

As the saying goes, do not reveal your wealth, and affairs succeed through secrecy; before the value is confirmed, it is still better to keep a low profile, otherwise, it is easy for others to snatch the fruits of one's labor.

"This discovery is very important. I will report this important discovery to Secretary Liu later." Ou Xiye tried hard to restrain his excitement.

Nowadays, people outside are saying that gold and silver mountains are not as good as green waters and lush mountains, but that is actually a form of self-consolation.

If a high-value Rare Earth Mine really appears, it means that the entire village and even Dayu County will usher in an unprecedented opportunity.

Tang Ye had no bottom line in his heart at this moment.

After all, the appearance of this fluorite meant that there was a mine in this mountain, but the scale of the mine and the content ratio of the fluorite were all unknowns!

Liu Mingyuan sat at his desk, reviewing documents.

The landline suddenly rang, and he immediately put down the pen in his hand and quickly answered the call.

"Secretary Liu, this is Ou Xiye. I am reporting good news to you: Comrade Tang Ye and the other three trapped personnel have successfully escaped danger!"

"Really? That is truly great!"

Liu Mingyuan let out a long sigh of relief, his nerves, which had been tense for many days, finally relaxing.

For the past few days, Tang Ye's whereabouts had been like a stone pressing on his heart.

Tang Ye was a cadre who had come specifically to Yanzhou for inter-provincial exchange, and his status was special. If an accident happened during his tenure, it would not only affect the normal progress of cadre exchanges between the two places but would also easily trigger criticism from the outside world.

Hanzhou would call every once in a while to ask about Tang Ye's whereabouts.

Liu Mingyuan himself was also burning with anxiety!

Now, all kinds of rumors outside had already spread like wildfire.

One of the claims was widely circulated, stating that Tang Ye's loss of contact was man-made.

It claimed that during his tenure in Dayu County, he had been squeezed out and secretly suppressed by some local cadres;

The local cadres clearly knew in advance that there was a risk of mudslides in the area, but they deliberately concealed the situation and forcibly ordered Tang Ye to enter the potentially affected area to carry out work;

Finally, it claimed that when Tang Ye was organizing the evacuation of the masses, he had unfortunately died because the evacuation was not timely enough.

Although Liu Mingyuan knew in his heart that this claim was completely baseless nonsense.

But he couldn't help worrying: if Tang Ye really had unfortunately died, he would not only have to bear the responsibility for poor supervision, but the provincial government would also be very disappointed with the work in Yanzhou;

In the future, the provincial government would probably never dare to rest assured in sending excellent cadres to Yanzhou for assistance, let alone easily tilt resources to support the development of Yanzhou.

"In addition, Secretary Liu, Comrade Tang Ye has another important new discovery he wants to report to you in person. I don't know when you will be free?" On the other end of the phone, Ou Xiye's tone carried a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal.

"I will be at the Municipal Party Committee for the whole half-day; you can come directly, I will wait for you."

Liu Mingyuan did not hesitate at all and immediately gave a clear response.

About two hours later, Tang Ye and his party arrived at the Municipal Committee Compound.

Accompanying them, besides Ou Xiye, was Gao Xiang.

Under the guidance of the Secretary, the three of them walked quickly into Liu Mingyuan's office.

As soon as Liu Mingyuan saw Tang Ye, his face was immediately filled with a gratified smile. He quickly stood up, took the initiative to reach out, and held Tang Ye's hand tightly, saying:

"Comrade Tang Ye, it is truly great that you were able to withdraw from the disaster area safely!

Your performance this time is commendable. You not only discovered the hidden dangers of geological disasters in advance but also timely promoted early warning work, ultimately successfully avoiding the occurrence of the disaster. You have made a great contribution!

The Municipal Party Committee has decided to hold a special meeting to study and publicly commend and reward those who have made outstanding contributions to the disaster prevention and relief work this time."

Ou Xiye was filled with emotion in his heart.

Tang Ye had not been in Dayu County for long, yet various commendations and rewards arrived in an endless stream!

His coming here for an exchange this time was just too appropriate!

Of course, all of this was commensurate with his contributions.

He deserved it completely!
