Time passed bit by bit. When it was almost dark, Lu Yiwei found information about the Erbao Coal Mine in the Nanyang County Enterprise Development Notes prepared by the government. "The Erbao Coal Mine was originally the Shiwan Village Coal Mine. It was built in 1977 and was a village collective enterprise. It was later subcontracted to a Fujian businessman, Pan Chengjun. After several years of operation, it was subcontracted to Shiwan Village's Qin Erbao. It was renamed the Erbao Coal Mine … "
At the end of the list of entrepreneurs, Pan Chengjun's introduction only had a few words. "Pan Chengjun, from Putian City, Fujian Province. Contracted to manage the Shiwan Village Coal Mine from 1992-1995." That was all.
Although there was very little information, at least it narrowed down the scope. Lu Yiwei closed the file and put it back. He sent Ma Rulan home and called Bai Yuxin. After informing her of the situation, Bai Yuxin said, "There's no time to lose. Hurry up and find Pan Chengjun even if you're looking for a needle in a haystack."
On the way home, Lu Yiwei gave San Tiao a call and said, "San Tiao, I'm going to Fujian tomorrow. Please book a flight ticket for me. The flight time is after 8 in the morning. I'll fax you a copy of my ID later."
San Tiao said straightforwardly, "Sure. I'll definitely do this for you."
When he got home, his parents had already had dinner. Lu Weiguo had already gone out for a walk. Liu Cuilan was watching TV. When she saw her son coming home, she quickly got up and said, "Yiwei, you haven't eaten yet, right?" Liu Cuilan knew her son was busy, but she would make an extra meal every night to prevent her son from eating when he got home.
Lu Yiwei was so tired that he lay down on the sofa. "I haven't eaten yet. Mom, don't worry about me. I'm not that hungry."
"That won't do! Wait, Mom will heat up the food for you! "Liu Cuilan went into the kitchen.
After a while, Liu Cuilan brought the food to Lu Yiwei. Seeing that he was so tired that he had fallen asleep, she could not bear to wake him up, but she could not bear to let him starve. She walked over and carefully pushed him. "Son, get up and eat something first."
Lu Yiwei opened his eyes and turned over. "I'll eat later. Let me sleep for a while."
Seeing this, Liu Cuilan did not insist. She took a blanket from the bedroom and covered herself with it, watching the TV absentmindedly.
An hour later, Lu Weiguo's powerful footsteps woke Lu Yiwei up. Lu Yiwei got up and stretched. "Dad, what have you been up to recently?"
Lu Weiguo's face was much rosier than before. Before he could say anything, Liu Cuilan said, "Your father is getting younger and younger. Recently, he has been going out a lot. I heard that he is dancing with a bunch of old ladies all day. Look at his proud face. I don't even want to talk about it."
Lu Weiguo straightened his neck and said, "Liu Cuilan, did I get your permission to go dancing? Also, did I ask you to come along? You're the one who didn't want to go. I don't know what you're jealous of now! "
"Yes, I did allow you to go dancing, but I didn't ask you to fool around with those old ladies all day. Once you finish eating, you run away faster than a rabbit." Liu Cuilan grumbled.
When Lu Yiwei saw his parents throwing a tantrum, he tried to persuade them, "Mom, just let my dad go out and play. His body has finally recovered a little. If you let him stay at home all day, he'll get sick after holding it in for a long time."
"I don't care!" Liu Cuilan glared at him.
Lu Yiwei's stomach was growling with hunger. He didn't care about the quarrel between the two of them and wolfed down the food. In the middle of the meal, Lu Yiwei said, "Mom, I went to Jiangdong City today and visited Xiao Yu on the way."
When their granddaughter, Xiao Yu, was mentioned, Liu Cuilan and Lu Weiguo's attention instantly focused on Lu Yiwei. They asked, "You saw Xiao Yu? Is she doing well? How is she at school? "
Lu Yiwei smiled. "Don't worry. Xiao Yu is doing well. She even said that she misses her grandparents and asked me to bring them to you! "
Liu Cuilan thought of her pitiful granddaughter and immediately burst into tears. "Sigh! I don't have a grandson. How good is Xiao Yu. She's my granddaughter, but I can't see her even if I want to. "
Lu Weiguo also felt suffocated. He sat there and smoked.
Lu Yiwei comforted him. "Xiao Yu is a descendant of our family. The blood of the Lu family flows in her. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. Don't worry. As long as Xiao Yu is on vacation, she'll definitely come back. Then, you'll be able to see her every day."
"Sigh!" Liu Cuilan sighed. "Yiwei, you're not young anymore. You should find a suitable family as soon as possible. While we're still in good health, we can still take care of your child. If it's any later, you might not be able to see her anymore."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Lu Yiwei reprimanded. "The two of you have just started to enjoy life. Don't say such unlucky words."
Lu Weiguo, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. "Your mom is right. Don't take it lightly! In the blink of an eye, Lingling is going to get married. You should also consider your marriage. Are you going to live like this? Let me tell you, I won't interfere with your work, but I will definitely interfere with your marriage. This year, you must leave this matter in your heart to me. If you continue to drag it on like this, don't blame me for being rude to you! "
Liu Cuilan continued, "That's right. You must take this matter to heart. During the New Year, what's the name of the classmate that Lingling brought over? I think he's not bad. Don't set your sights too high. You should be thanking the gods if the woman doesn't pick on you. "
Lu Yiwei put down his chopsticks. "Alright, don't rush me. I'll definitely take it seriously. I'll strive to give you a grandchild by the end of the year, alright?"
"Really?" Lu Weiguo's eyes widened as he stared at Lu Yiwei in delight.
"I'm just kidding. Haha!" Lu Yiwei was rocking back and forth with laughter.
Lu Weiguo saw that Lu Yiwei was not being serious. He was so angry that he extinguished his cigarette and went to his bedroom to sleep.
After his father left, Lu Yiwei said, "Oh yes, Mom. How much money do you have?"
"What's wrong? You don't have enough money to spend? "Liu Cuilan asked.
During this period of time, Lu Yiwei had been spending money like water. Ignoring the money he spent on Li Shu-man and Xiao Yu, he had spent tens of thousands on the advertisement boards and meals. He did not have much left. He was going to Fujian tomorrow. How could he not have money?
Actually, Lu Yiwei still had more than a million RMB. He had spent all his savings to get Niu Fuyong out of the Detention Center. To thank him, Niu Fuyong had given him a million RMB. Later, Lu Yiwei had borrowed another million RMB from Niu Fuyong to register his company and get the land for the cannery.
During this period of time, other than giving Cao Xiaolei 100,000 RMB for his activities, he had spent more than 100,000 RMB. This sum of money was still very useful. Lu Yiwei did not want to touch this sum of money. He could only thicken his skin and ask his mother for it.
Liu Cuilan heard that her son was going on a business trip and did not ask further. She went back to her bedroom and took out an envelope. She placed it in front of Lu Yiwei and said, "This is 10,000 RMB. Li Haidong gave it to me during the Lunar New Year. I did not touch a single cent. You can have it first. If it's not enough, there's more at home. "
Hearing that Li Haidong was filial to his parents behind his back, Lu Yiwei was deeply touched. He put the money in his pocket and said, "It's enough. I'll return it to you when I come back."
"What? My money is all from you. Anyway, I have no use for this money. You can have it, "Liu Cuilan said.
At this moment, Lu Weiguo also came out of his bedroom. He placed a bank card in front of Lu Yiwei and said, "This is the 100,000 RMB that Lingling gave me. I have no use for it. You can use it first."
Lu Yiwei immediately stood up and shoved the card into Lu Yiwei's hands. He said, "This is the 100,000 RMB that Lingling gave me. I have no use for it. You can use it first." "I told you to take it. Just take it.
Just treat it as you're keeping it for me. You can't take this money for free. If you don't get me a wife by the end of the year, you'll have to pay me back with interest. "After saying that, he threw the bank card to Lu Yiwei and went back into his bedroom.
"Alright, don't push it. Your dad asked you to take it, so just take it. It's your family's money," Liu Cuilan added.
During the meal, Lu Yiwei had mixed feelings.
The next morning, Lu Yiwei woke up before six o 'clock and drove to Jiangdong.
When he arrived at Jiangdong, he took a plane ticket and flew directly to Fujian. At around ten o 'clock in the morning, Lu Yiwei got off the plane and realized that he had not reported to Zhang Zhiyuan that he was going on a business trip. He immediately regretted his rash actions and quickly found a quiet place to make the call.
To his surprise, Zhang Zhiyuan said on the other end of the phone, "Mayor Bai has already told you. Don't worry and go. Be careful on the road."
After dealing with this small matter, Lu Yiwei took a ferry to Fuzhou city, took a taxi to the bus station, and got on a bus to Putian. So far, Lu Yiwei had no idea or confidence on how to find this Pan Chengjun.
On the bus, Lu Yiwei was chatting with a local villager. When he asked about the Pan family, the villager said enthusiastically, "My surname is Pan, and everyone in the village has the surname Pan."
It was really like the saying, "You can wear out iron shoes in fruitless searching, but you find it by chance." Lu Yiwei did not expect himself to be so lucky to find the surname Pan so quickly. He quickly asked, "Hey, do you know someone called Pan Chengjun?"
The villager thought for a long time and shook his head. "I don't know him."
Lu Yiwei was a little disappointed. "Hey, I want to find this person, but I need your help."
The villager said, "How old is this person?"
"About 40 years old or so."
The villager shook his head again and said, "It's very difficult to find him like this. There are only the elderly and children left in our village. The young people have all gone out to work to earn money. There's definitely no such person."
Lu Yiwei said unwillingly, "Then how can I find him?"
The villager saw that Lu Yiwei did not look like a bad person, so he said, "How about this? You come back with me first, and I'll ask around for you in the afternoon, okay?"
