Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 794 - 783: Nouveau Riche

At this side, Yan Baoqin was still worried about her family accidentally exposing secrets, while on the other side, Ye Qiu had already put all his net worth and the pawnshop Shopkeeper’s investment into acquiring the first mine of his life.

Uncle Dong was somewhat perplexed as he came out of the government department, not expecting that he merely acted as a bridge and Ye Qiu actually made it happen.

"Uncle Dong, looking forward to our pleasant cooperation in the future, I certainly won’t let Brother Li suffer losses," Ye Qiu said with a smile when they were parting.

Uncle Dong looked at him in amazement: "I just provided some money, but it’s really you who are capable, I don’t wish for anything else, only hoping that Tang Li can learn a thing or two from you would satisfy me."

The smile on Ye Qiu’s face deepened: "Uncle Dong, you are too kind, after all, without you, I wouldn’t have been able sign any deal with the government. I will take serious care in teaching Brother Li, and we have to clarify the shares of the coal mine to avoid future disputes."

Uncle Dong nodded in agreement and invited Ye Qiu into a restaurant. From this day onwards, Ye Qiu was no longer the poor young man who pawned his family heirlooms for living expenses; he was confident that Ye Qiu’s achievements would not be minor in the future. He was old and no longer had the energy to struggle, but his son was different, his son was too honest. If he could get a bit of Ye Qiu’s protection in the future, he would be completely content, that’s why he shouldn’t ask for too many shares.

Uncle Dong had made clear plans, even if the coal production from the mine turned out to be far greater than their initial exploration and expectations, he only felt the pain of loss but no regret.

Since acquiring the coal mine, Ye Qiu was extremely busy every day. Seeing how busy he was, his family became even more understanding. Under his motivation, both Ye Hao and Ye Kang saw improvements in their academic performance, and not only that, they would also teach Yu Xiaolin and Ye Shuai after returning home.

Unknowingly, themselves and the Yu Family didn’t realize that Ye Shuai was becoming more intelligent, and Yu Xiaolin also shed some of her naïvety and childishness.

After settling all matters of the coal mine, Ye Qiu informed Yu Chunrong and Zhao Yuhong about it.

"You said you contracted a coal mine?" Zhao Yuhong stood up in shock.

It was no wonder she was so surprised; currently, the state was vigorously developing the economy, and their coal-rich province naturally received attention from the nation. She knew that there were many coal mines in the region, but these were mostly controlled by the government - how many private mining operations were there? Even if allowed, the conditions were extremely stringent; how did Ye Qiu manage it?

"Yes, I have already made all the prior preparations, and I have contacted the buyers too; now only the mining methods remain, so I hope Red Army can help me."

"Me?" Yu Hongjun stood up excitedly, "Can I really do it?"

"This..." Zhao Yuhong looked doubtfully towards her husband Yu Chunrong, not to blame her for reacting this way as Ye Qiu’s father had died in a coal mine in the neighboring county, making her always feel that coal mining was extremely dangerous.

Ye Qiu naturally understood her concerns and assured: "Mom, don’t worry, my dad died because of a coal mine collapse, so I will definitely ensure safety. Plus, Red Army is Xiao Lin’s brother; how could I let him do the simplest mining work? As long as Red Army is willing to learn, I will definitely not mistreat him in the future."

"Where exactly is the coal mine? How many people are you planning to hire?" Yu Chunrong asked.

"The address is in the neighboring village, only an hour and a half away, but I will definitely build dormitories there later. I know Red Army is currently learning skills from you, please rest assured, I definitely won’t let him down."

"I’m never worried about you letting him down." Yu Chunrong looked at Ye Qiu with a satisfied smile, "Since you don’t despise the boy Red Army, let him go with you."

Hearing his promise, Yu Hongjun cheered and Ye Qiu sincerely thanked him: "Thank you, Dad, I’m currently in need of someone to manage things! Red Army is a big guy, hiring someone else doesn’t give me peace of mind and I fear they might not command respect, but I can rest easy with Red Army joining me."

"As long as you don’t mind him, just educate him on anything he doesn’t understand, don’t worry about us. But you mentioned maintaining order; which miners do you plan to hire?"

"First of all, definitely a batch of experienced miners, as they have deep expertise and naturally are hard to command. I also plan to recruit those troublemakers from the village."

"Troublemakers? Are you talking about Dongsheng and Da Qiang?" Yu Chunrong furrowed his brows, a look of disgust evident on his face.

"Yes, them."

"Why, they’re tough to manage and not exactly good people."

"I, Ye Qiu, went from having nothing to becoming a coal mine owner. There will always be people who are jealous. Rather than letting them become targets for others, it’s better to employ them from the start. They might even shield me from some troubles in the future. Don’t worry, Dad, I have scolded them before; they don’t dare to misbehave in front of me."

"As long as you know what you’re doing."

Dongsheng and Da Qiang are orphans in the village, unlike Ye Qiu who has a brother and son to support. Being alone without any responsibilities, they lack aspirations, which is also why they ended up in their current state. Ye Qiu needs to first give them hope if he is to recruit them.

"Are you serious? You’re not just leading us on, right? Just a coal mine worker, all dirty and tired, how can it be as good as you say?" Dongsheng asked suspiciously, as if he still felt the pain from being kicked that day.

"Have I ever made false promises? Who in the village doesn’t say good things about me? Do I need to lie to you? What do you have that’s worth my deception?"

"Will the things you promised really happen?" Da Qiang’s heart fluttered, even though living solo, who doesn’t want a wife, children, and a warm home? Long alone, no one knew they also longed for the warmth of a family, yet being notorious troublemakers, which family would marry their daughters to them?

"As long as you do as I say, as long as you are willing to work with me, a wife, children, a new house, everything will come." Ye Qiu promised.

Perhaps it was his confident demeanor, perhaps it was the future he described, the two actually nodded their heads: "Alright, we agree to work with you, but if these things don’t come to fruition, even if we can’t beat you we won’t be polite."

"Just listen to me." Ye Qiu smiled lightly, "But before you come to the coal mine, there’s something else you need to do first."

The two felt an ominous feeling rise in their hearts: "What is it?"

When they knocked on every household in the village to apologize with pastries and biscuits, not only did they feel awkward, the villagers also reacted as if they had seen ghosts.

However, upon hearing that they were preparing to follow Ye Qiu and change their ways for good, although there were doubts, the villagers on the surface still forgave them temporarily.

Walking past each household, seeing the villagers who once scorned them now look at them with eyes of trust, Dongsheng and Da Qiang suddenly felt a warmth in their eyes. It turns out that with sincere repentance, they can be accepted too.
