Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

Xia Chunfang smiled when she heard that Zhang Dong had finally agreed.

"Don't worry, if you're busy with other things, I won't be so insensitive. I promise I won't interfere with your work."

Seeing that the other party already had such awareness, what could Zhang Dong say...?

However, Zhang Dong quickly thought of a problem: "Beautiful lady, if you want to stay in the village, you should find a place to stay in advance. This is not a big city, there are no guesthouses or anything like that."

Xia Chunfang smiled and said, "I've already taken care of the accommodation issue. I'm staying in your village committee office."

"Oh, that's good. I have other things to do."

Having done his utmost to offer his advice, Zhang Dong turned and left to attend to his own business.

He is indeed as busy as a spinning top right now.

Not only must the original mines be developed more vigorously, but having acquired the mining rights to several smaller mines in the surrounding area, he must also provide technical support.

This was also a promise he made to the county magistrate.

That evening, Zhang Dong, who had been busy until very late, was walking on a quiet mountain road when he suddenly heard a woman scream ahead.

"Hey, you filthy scoundrel, what do you want to do?"

"Help! Someone help me!"

Immediately following, a wicked laugh rang out.

"You're that beautiful reporter? Tsk tsk, you're really different from country girls. You're so stylish from head to toe, and most importantly, you're so pretty."

"Hehe, it won't do you any good no matter how much you shout. We're outside the village, and it's already past midnight. There's not a soul in sight."

"The moment you left the village, I set my sights on you. Now, hehe, you know what I mean..."

Zhang Dong, who was walking hurriedly forward, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Damn, is someone trying to molest and force themselves on decent women?

However, he also found it strange, since it was already quite late.

Whose woman is this, wandering around in the middle of the night?

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Zhang Dong turned his legs and ran forward.

"You bastard, stop right now—"

After arriving at a short distance in front of the man, Zhang Dong shouted loudly.

The man was groping the woman when he heard someone shout "Stop!" He turned around angrily.

"Zhang Dong, what the hell is that you?"

When Zhang Dong saw that the one who had done the bad thing was Cheng Tao, one of Wang Jianguo's lackeys, he couldn't help but get very angry.

"You bastard! I never expected you to be so bold as to force a woman..."

Before Zhang Dong could finish speaking, the woman opposite him screamed and lunged at him.

Zhang Dong then realized that the woman Cheng Tao had tried to force was actually Xia Chunfang, a reporter from the Farmers' Daily.

"Oh, Reporter Xia, it's you!"

Xia Chunfang was filled with excitement when she saw Zhang Dong.

She rushed forward, grabbed Zhang Dong's arm, and after catching her breath, explained what had happened.

"Mr. Zhang, I was thinking of coming to the mine to find you and conduct a more in-depth interview about your career path. I knew you've been very busy, and you probably only had some free time recently, but I never expected..."

Having understood the situation, Zhang Dong couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He hadn't expected reporter Xia to be so serious and persistent, still thinking about interviewing him even in the dead of night.

However, Cheng Tao, Wang Jianguo's lackey, is just too damn despicable.

"You bastard! How dare you lay a hand on a Daily reporter? You're asking for it."

Upon seeing that it was Zhangdong, Cheng Tao was furious, but he also knew that Zhangdong's mine was nearby, and if he shouted, the miners would arrive soon.

Now that he had been discovered, Cheng Tao knew that all was lost, so he took off running.

As he ran, Cheng Tao turned back in a fit of rage.

"You just wait, kid. If you dare ruin my plans, you'll regret it."

Zhang Dong couldn't stand such a coward, so he snorted coldly at his back and said, "I like to take away what I can't finish, so what? If you're so tough, then don't you dare run away."

After angrily confronting the other party, Zhang Dong turned around only after seeing that the other party had already disappeared.

Turning around, he met Xia Chunfang's bright, shining eyes.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have been bullied by this scoundrel just now."

Xia Chunfang was filled with shame.

While saying this, he was still tightly gripping Zhang Dong's arm.

"Oh, reporter Xia, what's the big deal? Anyone who sees this situation would speak up for justice."

"Hahaha--"

Hearing Zhang Dong say this, Xia Chunfang burst into laughter, all the fear and terrification in her eyes vanishing.

"It looks majestic and imposing, but unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera."

"If I had a camera with me, I would definitely have filmed you confronting that thug. I've already thought of a headline for the news..."

"You're kidding me, thank goodness you didn't bring a camera..."

Zhang Dong was speechless.

"Oh, what's the big deal?"

"As a mine owner, you have a responsibility and a commitment to lead the villagers to prosperity."

"At the same time, you are also a passionate man. When faced with injustice, what did you just say? Right, right, when you see injustice, you should roar."

"Being able to say these words is enough to show that you have an upright heart and a strong sense of justice..."

Seeing that Zhang Dong remained silent, Xia Chunfang chuckled.

"Is this situation a case of risking everything to get an exclusive story? I never thought that just wanting to do an interview would lead to such a disaster."

Xia Chunfang's words made Zhang Dong burst into laughter.

At that moment, he also felt that the reporter named Xia Chunfang was cheerful and humorous.

Just looking at her conducting interviews late at night, you can tell she's a dedicated and good journalist.

Zhang Dong also had a deep admiration for such a dedicated person.

"Since you want to conduct an interview, let's come to our mine and have a chat."

Hearing Zhang Dong agree, Xia Chunfang was overjoyed.

From the daytime, she sensed that Zhang Dong was somewhat evasive and resistant when faced with interviews from reporters.

Now she could see that Zhang Dong was genuinely interested in being interviewed, which made her especially happy.

"Mr. Zhang, will this interfere with your business?"

Zhang Dong smiled faintly: "It won't delay. To be honest, seeing what that bastard did just now, I also feel quite guilty. After all, this whole thing started because of me."

"If you get into trouble because of my interview, I'll be carrying a heavy psychological burden."

"In that case, I'll accept your interview."

"I can already tell. With this kind of drive, if we didn't accept your interview, wouldn't you be keeping an eye on our mine for at least six months?"

"Hahaha--"

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's words, Xia Chunfang burst into laughter.
