At the wedding, my wife confessed her love for her white moonlight

Chapter 592: Quinn, the Treasure Appraiser with Different Eyes

Jiang Ning first called a friend who had made great achievements in the field of water quality testing.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, this is Jiang Ning! I'm in a remote village at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. There's a problem with the water source here. Can you help me contact a professional water quality testing team and get them here as soon as possible? Yes, the situation is quite urgent. The villagers are out of water."

Director Zhang hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone and said, "Mr. Jiang, the foot of Kunlun Mountain is quite far away, and it will cost a lot to mobilize a testing team there."

Jiang Ning said, "Money is not a problem. Please help me make the contact and I will pay for it. Human lives are at stake. The villagers here cannot wait."

Quinn heard their conversation from the side, and a wave of doubt rose in his heart, "Does he really want to help us?"

But his years of being wary of outsiders quickly made him give up the idea, "Maybe it's just a show."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ning immediately contacted the water conservancy experts.

Through his friends in the industry, he found Professor Li, an expert with rich experience in water conservancy project restoration.

"Hello, Professor Li! I am Jiang Ning. I am in a village now. The water source here is polluted. I would like to ask you to come and see if you can find the source of the pollution and solve the water supply problem."

Jiang Ning said sincerely. After hearing the situation, Professor Li expressed his willingness to help, but his schedule was very full and he could not leave for three days at the earliest.

During the days of waiting for the testing team and Professor Li to arrive, Jiang Ning took the initiative to participate in the villagers' efforts to find a temporary water source.

He followed several young and strong villagers, crossing mountains and hills to look for possible springs in the mountains.

The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on. Jiang Ning's shoes were scratched by sharp stones and his feet were covered with blisters, but he did not complain at all.

Quinn watched from afar as Jiang Ning limped but persisted, and the hard defense in his heart began to loosen a little, "This outsider seems to be different from what I imagined."

Finally, four days later, the water quality testing team that Lao Zhang helped contact arrived at the village.

As soon as the members of the testing team got off the car, they started working non-stop.

They collected water samples from various water intake points in the village and used professional instruments to conduct testing and analysis.

Jiang Ning watched from the side, his heart full of anticipation.

After several hours of intense testing, the testing team came up with preliminary results.

It turned out that a small mine had been opened not far upstream from the village, and the mine's wastewater was discharged directly into the stream without treatment, causing water pollution.

After Jiang Ning learned the news, he immediately contacted the local environmental protection department to report the situation to them.

The environmental protection department said it would investigate and deal with the mine as soon as possible.

At the same time, Professor Li also rushed to the village.

Professor Li and his assistants conducted a comprehensive survey of the village's water supply system.

He found that the village's water supply pipes were in disrepair and damaged in many places, which also exacerbated the impact of water pollution on the lives of villagers.

After discussing with Jiang Ning, Professor Li developed a detailed renovation plan.

First, the damaged water supply pipelines should be repaired, and then a simple filtration and purification facility should be built near the water source to ensure that the villagers can use clean water. However, repairing the water supply system requires a large amount of money.

Naturally, these words were heard by Quinn and the villagers.

"How much does it cost?" Quinn asked.

"It's hard to say!" Professor Li said, "The land here is cheap, but the pipeline needs to be brought from a faraway place, which is too long. It will cost at least several million or even tens of millions."

This time it's completely up to the male protagonist Quinn and the villagers.

Even though they get a lot of top-grade jade raw stones every year, in fact, in this remote area, the villagers have no idea about business.

The price they sell the raw stones is very low, not at all as high as the price of raw stones on the market.

So, although the villagers live a prosperous life, they are not that rich.

Just when Quinn and others were in trouble, Jiang Ning stood up again: "I will pay for this money. The most important thing is to let the young and old in the village have good water first."

Quinn felt more and more moved as he watched Jiang Ning running around for the village, communicating and coordinating with all kinds of people, and paying for it out of his own pocket every time.

Quinn's sister also pulled at his clothes and said, "Brother, Mr. Jiang seems to be really helping us wholeheartedly. We wronged him."

In the following days, the village was very lively.

The workers began to work intensively. They dug up the ground, replaced damaged pipes, and built filtration and purification facilities at the water source. The villagers also spontaneously participated in the project, helping to transport materials and delivering water and food to the workers. During this process, Quinn also silently paid attention to Jiang Ning's every move. He saw Jiang Ning running around for the village's affairs and working tirelessly, and his opinion of Jiang Ning changed little by little.

One day, Quinn took the initiative to find Jiang Ning, handed him a pot of butter tea, and said, "You are a good person. I was not nice to you before, I'm sorry."

Jiang Ning took the butter tea and said with a smile: "Brother Quinn, don't say that. I came here for my own purpose at first, but when I saw the situation in the village, I wanted to do something for everyone, and I didn't think too much about it!"

Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, the renovation of the water supply system is progressing smoothly.

Half a month later, when the clear water flowed into the villagers' homes again, the whole village was boiling. The children ran happily by the stream, and the adults' faces were filled with happy smiles.

To thank Jiang Ning and all those who helped the village, the villagers held a grand celebration.

They lit a bonfire in the open space in the center of the village, roasted a whole sheep, and performed a traditional Tibetan dance. Jiang Ning and Quinn were also invited to the bonfire, and everyone sat around it, laughing and talking.

In this joyful atmosphere, the relationship between Jiang Ning and Quinn became more and more harmonious.

Quinn began to share his years of experience and stories in treasure appraisal with Jiang Ning, and Jiang Ning told Quinn about the wonderful world outside.

After the celebration, Jiang Ning found Quinn and said seriously, "Brother Quinn, please consider my request again. I want to buy raw stones from you and hope we can cooperate."

Quinn seemed happy at first, but after hearing this, his expression turned cold.

Over the years, too many people from outside have come to the village, trying to curry favor with them in various ways, and in the end they all want to buy the raw stones from them.

Although the raw stones can be sold to anyone, the local villagers have faith in their hearts.

The raw stones are their gods. They will not hand them over to outsiders but to local merchants they trust.

The biggest dealer who sells raw stones to them is Mr. Bach from Mayi City at the foot of the mountain.

Bach was a devout Tibetan Buddhist. They shared the same faith and had great trust in each other.

Therefore, Quinn was somewhat unhappy about Jiang Ning's sudden proposal for cooperation.

However, he had a good impression of Jiang Ning after spending some time with him, so he whispered, "Jiang Ning, if you insist on trading in raw stones, I can open a channel for you. You can take a small portion from me. This is my greatest sincerity, considering that you are working for the welfare of the whole village!"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "Brother Quinn, I want all of them, all the raw stones!"

Upon hearing this, Quinn was very angry: "Jiang Ning, you have such a big appetite! Let's not talk about this!"

"We will slowly pay you back the money the village owes you. Excuse me!"

After saying that, he stood up and left angrily.
