Chapter 920: Tang Ye Helped Me Again!

Li Na smiled and said, "I've already told President Sun that we are holding a celebration this Friday, and I would like to invite you to attend."

Tang Ye readily agreed: "Fine, I will certainly be there."

After hanging up the phone with Li Na, Tang Ye let out a long sigh of relief.

For over a month, he had spent a great deal of energy and time on this mine.

In truth, he did not even know if there was anything underneath.

Sometimes, it is truly hard to say anything about intuition.

Regardless, this time it could be considered an unexpected joy.

Tang Ye dialed Ou Xiye's office landline.

"Secretary Ou, is it convenient now? I have a matter I would like to report to you."

"Yes, I am in the office waiting for you."

A moment later, Tang Ye appeared in the County Party Secretary's office with a smile on his face.

Ou Xiye was already familiar enough with Tang Ye, and seeing this, he smiled: "Looking at your joyful expression, something good must have happened!"

Tang Ye sat on the sofa, clasping his hands together: "Secretary Ou, you guessed right. Some time ago, Li Na obtained the independent mining rights for a plot of land on Julong Mountain, and now there is a result—a medium-sized copper mine has been discovered."

Ou Xiye's eyes lit up: "Really? I remember that plot of land was in an uninhabited area!"

Tang Ye smiled: "I looked through the local gazetteers. Hundreds of years ago, people lived there, but because the villagers developed health problems, it was rumored to be a cursed place. Now it is clear; there is a copper mine hidden underneath, which affected the water source, making it unsuitable for living."

Ou Xiye nodded slightly: "So that's how it is. No wonder you went to conduct research there several times a while ago!"

Tang Ye thought to himself that Ou Xiye was quite well-informed about his whereabouts, and immediately said: "Secretary Ou, Li Na is now preparing to mine this area and establish a mining company, and she needs support from the county."

Ou Xiye stroked his chin and analyzed: "Hongling Group's main business is mining, and they are well-versed in this kind of project—after all, having worked in the coal industry for so many years, much of the technology and experience is transferable."

Tang Ye thought to himself that Ou Xiye certainly thought things through thoroughly, and nodded: "I will keep a close eye on this project throughout."

Ou Xiye patted Tang Ye on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."

After Tang Ye left the office, Ou Xiye dialed Jiang Anbang's phone number.

A month ago, Jiang Anbang had already officially started work.

"County Magistrate Jiang, I have some good news to tell you: a medium-sized copper mine has been discovered in Dayu County, with an estimated value of over one billion."

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Anbang's eyes revealed a look of surprise: "How was this mine discovered? Could it be that there was an unexpected joy while mining the Fluorite Mine?"

Ou Xiye said in a relaxed tone: "It wasn't discovered by them. Over a month ago, Li Na of Hongling Group secured the independent mining rights for the northern part of Julong Mountain. I originally thought they were going to mine coal, but I didn't expect them to find this copper mine. Next, you need to follow up on this matter and ensure their production and operations proceed smoothly!"

"Rest assured, I will arrange it." After hanging up Ou Xiye's call, Jiang Anbang dialed Chen Qing's number.

"County Magistrate Chen, come to my office for a moment!"

A moment later, Chen Qing knocked on the office door.

"County Magistrate Jiang, what do you need me for?"

"Li Na previously secured an independent mining right on Julong Mountain; do you know about this?"

"I know! That plot of land was a piece of wasteland. At the time, Li Na paid sixty million, and that money has already been used to pay the salaries of teachers throughout the county!"

Chen Qing's first reaction was that Jiang Anbang wanted to audit the whereabouts of that income.

"I just received news that a medium-sized copper mine has been discovered on that land, with a conservative estimated value of one billion."

Chen Qing's expression shifted from initial confusion to surprise in an instant: "One billion? That is an uninhabited area. No one has lived there for hundreds of years, and the nearby villagers don't even dare to walk that way, saying there are unclean things inside."

Jiang Anbang gave a helpless, bitter smile: "Where would there be any unclean things? It is clearly that there is treasure hidden underground. Next, you must follow up on this project well to ensure the copper mine can be opened smoothly, so the county can have another stable source of fiscal revenue every year."

Only then did Chen Qing slowly come back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "Okay, I will follow up on this matter well."

After returning to his own office, Chen Qing dialed Xia Heng's phone number.

"Director Xia, I just received news that Li Na's company has found a copper mine on Julong Mountain."

Xia Heng was stunned for a moment: "Really? Isn't she supposed to be mining coal? How did she discover a copper mine?"

Chen Qing said: "It is said that the ore reserves are not small. You should hurry and find out the detailed situation, then prepare a report and submit it."

Xia Heng said: "Okay, I will go prepare it right now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qing let out a soft breath.

Remembering a month ago, when Chen Qing saw Li Na wanting to secure the independent mining rights for that piece of land, his heart was full of strong incomprehension.

Now, Chen Qing finally realized why Tang Ye had been so concerned about this matter back then!

Chen Qing comforted himself: at the very least, this time, he had actively and proactively helped Li Na; even if there was no credit, there was at least some hard work!

Xijing.

In the prison.

Li Na met her father, Li Zhongling.

Li Zhongling's hair had turned whiter, his back was somewhat hunched, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at Li Na held a touch of coldness and hatred.

"Why have you come to see me?" Li Zhongling's tone was ice-cold and biting.

"Because I have some news to tell you," Li Na said softly. "Do you remember fifteen years ago, when you arranged for people to secretly survey Julong Mountain, wanting to see if there were any new mineral deposits?"

Li Zhongling shook his head: "It has been so long, I don't remember!"

Li Na sighed: "It was because of your unintentional act back then that I caught a lead and eventually found a medium-sized copper mine. Once the copper mine starts operating, Hongling Group will be completely revitalized. Tang Ye helped me again."

"Tang Ye! You actually went to beg Tang Ye again!!!"

"Dad, let go of the hatred!"

Li Zhongling looked at Li Na in surprise, for a moment not knowing how to express the shock in his heart.

"Let me forget the hatred? Don't dream!"

"Alright, I just came to tell you this; there is nothing else. Reform yourself well inside. I will wait for you to be released!" Li Na sighed again, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Li Zhongling watched Li Na's back, his heart full of complex emotions.

Back then, what he had tossed to his daughter was a riddled, crumbling mess.

He had never imagined she could sort it out so quickly.

She had even turned the tide!

He had once been full of dissatisfaction toward his daughter because she chose to compromise with the enemy and forget so-called "hatred."

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that his own attitude could no longer influence Li Na at all...

In Li Zhongling's heart, there was regret, but even more, there was unwillingness...
