Upon seeing this, Li Ruochun frowned: "What's going on?!"

Soon, the relevant staff went to the front to find out what was going on.

When the staff who went to investigate returned, they also looked rather grim.

"Ahem, Mr. Li, there's been some trouble at the excavation site over there. An excavator has fallen in."

"Useless!" Li Ruochun thought to herself, on such a joyous day, how could an excavator malfunction like this?

"Lift him up right now!" Li Ruochun immediately ordered. "The rest of the excavators are not allowed to stop!"

Fortunately, there were some cranes on their construction site, so they immediately arranged for one to lift the excavator up.

"It's alright, Mr. Li, don't blame your subordinates. After all, there's just too much equipment these days, and it's normal for minor accidents like this to happen occasionally," Yan Yuming comforted Li Ruochun.

That's right, when you have tremendous power, even your superiors will flatter you.

"However, there is one more thing I want to remind you. When you are building, you should dig the foundation deeper and build it more solidly. You can't make it a shoddy project that will cause problems later."

"Hehe, thank you for your understanding and reminder, Mayor Yan. Please rest assured, Mayor Yan, my foundation will definitely be built according to the construction requirements of the port city. It will be deeper and more solid than those on the mainland." Li Ruochun chuckled in response, while glancing at Huang Renfa with some pride, as if to say, "Look how good the leaders are to me now."

Yan Yuming was very satisfied with Li Ruochun's answer, while Huang Renfa was frowning, as if he was deep in thought.

He had witnessed the accident the whole time.

How could a perfectly good excavator suddenly tumble and fall into the hole while digging?

This was already a wake-up call for him. Could this be what Hu Dahai meant by bad feng shui? What kind of accident might occur?

But this accident is too minor, it could even be described as an insignificant accident.

For a moment, Huang Renfa felt a pang of regret.

If it were really just such a minor accident, Huang Renfa would have absolutely no reason to give up this land.

Even if the excavator is destroyed, the loss would only be a few hundred thousand at most, which is insignificant compared to the profits from this land.

Looking at Li Ruochun, who was beaming with pride, and Yan Yuming, who was laughing heartily, it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.

"Sigh, I should have never listened to Hu Dahai. I was really stupid to believe what that young man said." Huang Renfa thought to himself, "I don't know what got into me back then."

“My land is cheap now, but there’s no transportation and the location is remote. It’s a real pain to be back home.”

The more Huang Renfa thought about it, the more upset and regretful he became.

In the end, all the regret and sorrow turned into a long sigh.

"Mr. Huang, why are you sighing?" Li Ruochun happened to hear Huang Renfa sighing and immediately said with a smile, "Mr. Huang, you've made a full 20% premium on this land."

"To be honest, our partnership is a win-win situation!"

"Mayor Yan, don't you agree?"

It would have been better if Li Ruochun hadn't mentioned the 20% premium; the mere mention of it made Huang Renfa feel even more upset.

Even the way people around Huang Renfa looked at him was more mocking.

You took such a large, prime piece of land and ran off with a 20% profit? Isn't that a terrible waste?

Finally, Yan Yuming stepped in to smooth things over: "Everyone is working for the development of Hangzhou. The fact that Hangzhou is getting better and better is the result of our sincere cooperation."

Just as the group of people were chatting and laughing, Huang Renfa felt like crying inside.

Suddenly, someone jumped off the excavator in the construction site ahead.

"No, no, there's something down there!"

The man ran while shouting.

Seeing this, Li Ruochun was completely dumbfounded.

What's wrong with you excavator operators on such a great day? Are you all out of your minds or something?

First, turn the excavator over so I can do a somersault, and now you're saying there's something underneath.

"What's going on!" Li Ruochun cursed the managers in charge of the excavation work in his heart.

However, before the staff could even go over to inquire about the situation...

Another excavator stopped, and the operator, as if he had seen a ghost, jumped off the excavator.

The series of bizarre events instantly silenced the smiling crowd in the stands.

No one knew what had happened ahead.

"Mr. Li, something bad has happened." A staff member ran over to Li Ruochun after learning about the situation and said, "Two coffins have been unearthed at the excavation site over there, and there are skeletons inside the coffins."

"What?! How could there be bones in this field?" Li Ruochun stood up abruptly in shock.

It is well known that finding human remains on a construction site is a very unlucky thing.

Imagine if factories and such were built here in the future, but people heard that two coffins containing corpses were unearthed under this place before, they might not want to rent factories here, and even employees might not want to work here.

Not to mention Hong Kong businessmen like Li Ruochun, who are generally quite superstitious and take such taboos very seriously.

"We don't know either," the staff member shook their head.

Seeing this, Yan Yuming stood up to stabilize the situation: "Ahem, those are probably some graves buried here by the older generation. Cleaning them up should solve the problem. These things are inevitable. In the past, there was no unified management of these burials, so many people buried their dead haphazardly."

He also didn't want his project to encounter any unforeseen circumstances.

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Ruochun nodded quickly: "I'll invite a few Taoist priests or sorcerers to come and perform a ritual tomorrow to correct the feng shui here, and everything will be fine."

"Now that we've talked about teaching foundations, we must keep our word! We can't let the people of Hangzhou down."

Li Ruochun said with righteous indignation.

But as soon as he finished speaking, another excavator stopped.

This time, the excavator didn't dig up bones, but a box, inside which were a lot of glittering gold and silver artifacts.

The weather was perfect today; the sunlight shone brightly, illuminating these gold and silver artifacts and making them gleam with dazzling golden and silver light.

It's so captivating that it's impossible for anyone not to see it.

"this......"

Everyone who saw it stared wide-eyed.

Are you kidding me? Everyone knows this. It's a whole box full of gold and silver jewelry.

They were digging a foundation and they unearthed so much gold and silver jewelry.

Even the dumbest person would have figured something out by now.

Combining the two skeletons we just saw with the gold and silver jewelry we have now, it's easy to think of one word: ancient tomb.

Sure enough, a reporter with sharp eyes ran over and shoved a microphone in front of Yan Yuming: "Mayor Yan, we now suspect that there may be an ancient tomb under here. Mayor Yan, if there really is an ancient tomb under here, will you choose to destroy the tomb and continue the project, or will you choose to stop the project and preserve the tomb?"
