Zou Xu ran all the way to the entrance of the mine and greeted the guard at the entrance with a smile.
"Yo, Xiao Xu, what's up? You can't even close your mouth.”The guard nodded and asked with a smile.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Grandpa, you're busy. I'm rushing to work!”Zou Xu couldn't stop smiling. He waved at the security guard and rushed to the mine.
The security guard watched Zou Xu run away and shook his head. He didn't mind, but he was surprised that Zou Xu, who was usually bored, suddenly became so lively.
The mine had yet to start working in the morning. Other than the exploration wells that were rotating day and night, the other machines had not been activated. Zou Xu was considered early today. The cable car had just opened, and there were not many miners going down.
Foreman Liu had also arrived at the mine early in the morning and was chatting with a few workers who had arrived early. When Zou Xu ran past them, he greeted them and went to his locker to get his equipment.
"Hey... Did something good happen to Zou Xu today? This is the first time I've seen him so happy after knowing him for so long.”
"Maybe. He's usually quite a boring person.”
"It's a little boring, but he's not bad. If he hadn't gone up to dig Chen Gang out, he would have died.”
"Speaking of the collapse, if it weren't for that damned Fatty Fang, how could this happen?”
"Shh…Be quiet."
Foreman Liu interrupted the conversation and saw Zou Xu get on the cable car with a smile on his face. He smiled mysteriously and said,"From my experience, this kid…She's probably in love."
"Aiya, now that you mention it, it's quite similar!”
"What a pity. I wanted to introduce my niece to Zou Xu.”
"Hahahahaha…"
Zou Xu, who had been humming a tune all the way in the mine, of course, did not know that Foreman Liu and the others were talking about him. He was in a good mood now and had the energy to do anything. He picked up the electric drill from the pavilion the night before and walked towards the mine.
"All of them ~~"
While Zou Xu was using the electric drill to dig out the coal mine, his mind was already far away.
The 2D beauty who suddenly appeared in his house and called him master.
To be honest, Zou Xu even felt a little light-headed. This happiness came too quickly.
Zou Xu didn't really stay at home because he had to work. But he wasn't an otaku, was he? He especially liked otaku culture and the 2D world.
He liked the Oriental Fantasy Village series, which was extremely popular in the otaku culture. And now, a real Sakuya was in his own home!
Otaku creatures all had a talent, and that was their ability to accept things. Even if such a scientific thing happened to him, he was still confused in front of an otaku who was familiar with all kinds of novels, had seen all kinds of adventures, and was proficient in imagination. So easy ~
" Kakakaka!" A strange sound suddenly rang out, waking Zou Xu who had his primordial spirit out of his body. He hurriedly stopped the electric drill in his hand.
"You dug something out again?"
He used a shovel to dig up the surrounding cinders, revealing a strange dark gray rock. Moreover, the area seemed to be quite large.
Zou Xu looked at his mine and had no choice but to return to the pavilion to call the foreman.
"Hello? I'm Liu Guoshang."
"Liu Gong! I'm Zou Xu. I'm working in Area 108. I just dug up something. It's dark gray and quite brittle. I don't know what it is, but the area is quite large. Do you want to ask the people from the Resource Department to come over and take a look?”
"Dark gray? Could it be lime…Xiaoxu, where are you waiting? I'll get the resource department to send someone over right away.”
After Zou Xu hung up the phone, he sat down in the pavilion to rest. This kind of situation was considered a special situation, and his salary would not be deducted. He might as well slack off.
In less than ten minutes, the sound of a cable car came from above. A person wearing a blue hard hat and a uniform from the Resource Department descended.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Wei from the Resources Department.”The person was also wearing a dust mask, but he politely extended his hand.
Zou Xu looked at his hands full of coal ash in embarrassment. Zhang Wei also noticed this and patted Zou Xu's shoulder.
"Alright, let's go and see what treasure you dug up.”
The two of them soon arrived at the place where Zou Xu had just worked. Zhang Wei took out a magnifying glass from his bag and turned on the light on his helmet. He picked up a piece of residue from the hole that had been drilled by the electric drill and looked at it.
Zou Xu was squatting there, waiting for Zhang Wei's appraisal results. If it was not something important, he would have to spend some effort to get the rock out so that it would not affect the workers 'work.
Zhang Wei's movements became slower and slower. He even took out a small shovel from his bag and called Zou Xu,"Hurry up! Help me dig along these. Be careful!”
Zou Xu also picked up the shovel and dug according to Zhang Wei's instructions. When they encountered a hard place, Zhang Wei didn't let Zou Xu use the electric drill and only asked him to go around there. The two of them worked for more than an hour before Zhang Wei asked Zou Xu to stop.
Zhang Wei, who was standing at a higher place, looked at the thing that appeared in front of him with a shocked expression. Zou Xu, who was tired and panting, held the gray rock and rested.
"Don't touch it! Don't touch it! Hurry up! Come up quickly!"
Zhang Wei shouted excitedly, as if he was afraid that Zou Xu would break some treasure.
"I don't know what they dug out, but they won't let me touch it.”Zou Xu mumbled as he crawled to Zhang Wei's side and looked at the light above his head. He finally saw the 'treasure' that he had dug up after working hard for more than an hour.
"I... Damn it…"
"Fossilized! This was a fossil! Zou Xu, you dug up a fossil!”Zhang Wei shook Zou Xu excitedly as he shouted.
However, Zou Xu's gaze fell on the hole that he had drilled with the electric drill. He asked worriedly,"I... I... I broke the fossil! This... What should we do!"
"Uh..." Zhang Wei also suddenly paused and looked at the small piece that had been drilled. He patted Zou Xu's shoulder and said,
"Alright, don't be afraid. It's inevitable that there will be damage during the excavation. I won't ask you to pay for it. I'll report it immediately.”
"That's good, that's good."
Soon, Zhang Wei reported the news over the phone. The head of the Resources Department was alarmed, and the police quickly arrived at the scene and sealed off the entire mine.
The workers were forced to stop their work and returned to the surface to watch. The news of the fossil being dug out in the mine was quickly sent out. In the end, even the people from the city government and the museum came.
However, this had nothing to do with Zou Xu. He thought that he would be rewarded, but he was called to the office by the head of the engineering department, Fang Zhengrong.
"Zou Xu! Look at what you've done! That was a fossil! It was a national treasure! Look at what you've done! You dug a hole in the national treasure!”
"Look at this for yourself. Even the chief has been alarmed! Two waves of people have already come to the museum. How can I explain! How do you explain it?"
As soon as Zou Xu entered the office, he was scolded by Minister Fang, who was full of poop. He pursed his lips and felt very depressed. Fatty Fang was usually hot-tempered. He would scold people and even deduct his salary at any time. In the eyes of the workers, he was a detestable scumbag.
Some people even said that Minister Fang had embezzled some of the money for the anti-collapse support last time. However, this person had a strong background and a worker secretly reported it. Not only did he not get into trouble, but the worker was also beaten up by some hooligans after the incident.
Fang Zhengrong criticized Zou Xu with a serious face, but he was happy in his heart. After using this excuse to fire this kid, not only would he have a worker's position for his nephew, but he might even get a reward from the higher-ups. Hahaha.
After cursing for a while, Fang Zhengrong felt that it was enough. He took out an envelope from the drawer and threw it on the desk.
"Don't say that I, Fang Zhengrong, did anything to you. This is your salary for last month and the other 3000 yuan for this half a month is your compensation for working in the company for half a year.”
This was also Fatty Fang's unique trait. This person was extremely evil, but he would always leave a way out. It was precisely his behavior of stabbing you with a knife and paying you for your medical fees that made many people who suffered losses swallow their anger.
"Minister Fang…What are you... Fire me?" Zou Xu looked at Fang Zhengrong in shock when he saw the envelope that was thrown in front of him.
"What else? Xiaoxu, I can't do anything about this. I can only fire you. Take the money and leave. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave when the higher-ups come.”
Zou Xu actually knew what this fatty was up to, but he had no choice…He was just a worker, and the other party was the head of the engineering department and even had a backer. Zou Xu couldn't beat him. This was the tragedy of ordinary people.
Zou Xu silently picked up the envelope and thanked him before leaving the office to pack his things.
After Zou Xu closed the door, Fang Zhengrong snorted. He had done this kind of thing many times, but at least he had paid that kid back. He leaned back comfortably in the boss 'chair. After digging out the fossils in the mine, it would definitely trigger many benefits. At that time, his qualifications would also rise. If he let his father take care of him, he might even be able to climb a few steps up. Hahahaha.
Zou Xu walked home with his backpack on his back. He was thinking about many things. Now that Sakuya was at home, there was only one bed in the house he lived in. It was fine for him to sleep on the balcony, but what if it rained? What would happen after winter?
There was also the problem of work. Now that he had lost his job in the mine, he did not want to go back and trouble the hospital director's grandmother. Even though he had saved up money for the past half a year, it wasn't much. Even if he included the ten thousand yuan that Fatty Fang had given him, it was still less than forty thousand yuan.
It was unknown when the weather had turned gloomy. There was even muffled thunder coming from afar. It seemed like it was going to rain…
"Let's go home first…"
