Ruan Yongjun was in the kitchen. When he saw Lu Xingzhi come down, he took out Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao's portion of food and gave it to him. Friends and guests were naturally treated differently.
"Carroux is back. I told him to come over later. He was quite happy to hear that there were new guests." Ruan Yongjun smiled. "There have been a lot of people coming to the mine these past two days. If you look for Carroux, I'll let them earn less of your middleman's fee."
After Ruan Yongjun finished speaking, he looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he leaned over to Lu Xingzhi and whispered, "The matter you asked Carroux to find someone to do has been completed. It happened on our way back just now. This matter caused quite a stir."
"This is my reward for Carroux's hard work." Lu Xingzhi didn't say much. He took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and shook it lightly. A crisp sound came from inside.
Ruan Yongjun took it and poured it out. What entered his eyes were two gold bars as thick as an adult's finger. He was so shocked that he quickly stuffed it back. "You're quite generous!"
"It's my duty." Lu Xingzhi didn't react much. He patted Ruan Yongjun's shoulder and left with the tray in his hand.
About an hour later, Carroux knocked on Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao's door. Looking at the smile on his face, Lu Xingzhi guessed that Ruan Yongjun had given the things to Carroux and that Carroux was very satisfied.
"Mr. Lu, it's my pleasure to meet you for the first time."
Carroux was a local of the town. He was about the same age as Ruan Yongjun and had been good friends with Ruan Yongjun since childhood. However, after Ruan Yongjun joined the army, Carroux continued to mingle in town. Now, Carroux was more successful than Ruan Yongjun, a retired soldier. Everyone in town knew that Carroux knew a lot of people. Even the mine bosses had to give face to Carroux.
Carroux was a very famous and prestigious middleman in town. He was in charge of many people's transactions and took profits from the middle.
For example, Carroux introduced a person to the mine and the mine boss would give Carroux a sum of money as thanks. If the deal was finalized, Carroux would receive an additional commission.
This was indeed the first time Carroux and Lu Xingzhi were meeting, but it didn't stop him from expressing his enthusiasm and welcome for generous people.
When he heard that Lu Xingzhi was going to look at the mine with another person and that both parties were planning to buy the mine, the smile on Carroux's face didn't disappear for even a second. After learning that Lu Xingzhi was in a hurry and was leaving Vietnam tonight, Carroux immediately arranged for a car and a driver to bring Lu Xingzhi, his wife, and Huang Seung-jeong's group to the mine.
The car Carroux arranged for was much better than Ruan Yongjun's modified car. Although there were more people, there was one off-road vehicle for each person. No one was missing. Several cars crossed the mountains and left the town.
Jiang Yao was very unfamiliar with the people, scenery, and everything here. She didn't dare to be sure. If she didn't have Lu Xingzhi by her side or if she came with Huang Seung-jeong, she would be very nervous right now.
To her, Lu Xingzhi was like a mountain that she could lean on at any time, giving her stability and courage.
Although it was about twenty kilometers, in reality, the off-road vehicle still took more than half an hour to arrive. As soon as everyone got out of the car, the surrounding people immediately looked over. Perhaps it was because there were too many people, or perhaps it was because Carroux was a celebrity here.
