Chapter 125 Mountain Adventure
"Your husband is so straightforward."
Xiao Ruoyun covered her face and laughed, while Ou Wenxuan also showed his delight.
Suddenly, Ou Wenxuan's phone rang.
"It was a call from the company leadership. They're always this busy even when they can't rest. With great power comes great responsibility."
Ou Wenxuan showed off his phone to everyone, deliberately letting them see the contact name: Shancheng Group XXX.
"Hello, this is Ou Wenxuan, yes."
At first, Ou Wenxuan deliberately raised his voice, but when he heard that the other party was informing him that he had been fired, his tone became complicated.
There was sadness, shock, and even more so, bewilderment and helplessness.
The other party hung up the phone within ten seconds, but Ou Wenxuan still tried to remain calm and said, "Okay, I understand. This project can proceed."
After saying this, Ou Wenxuan's eyes reddened.
"Wenxuan, what's wrong? Your eyes are a little red," Xiao Ruoyun asked with concern.
"I've secured a big project, and the company says they're going to promote me," Ou Wenxuan said, forcing a smile.
"Good thing!"
Xiao Ruoyun started clapping, and then a group of classmates also clapped to celebrate for Ou Wenxuan.
Even Lin Fan started clapping, but only he knew that Ou Wenxuan's call was a dismissal call, and the clapping was just a spur-of-the-moment thing to cheer him on.
During the meal, Ou Wenxuan didn't say another word, feeling empty inside.
Xiao Ruoyun kept boasting about how capable Ou Wenxuan was, holding an important position in the Shancheng Group.
These words drew envy from everyone, but for Ou Wenxuan, they were like rubbing salt into his wounds.
"Wenxuan, let's go climb the mountain near your house," Xiao Ruoyun suggested.
“Okay,” Ou Wenxuan replied listlessly.
Lin Fan glanced at Ou Wenxuan, who looked utterly hopeless, and then simply raised an eyebrow. He had just contacted Gao Xuan by phone and asked him to investigate this Ou Wenxuan.
The investigation revealed that this guy had taken a lot of kickbacks, and quite cleverly at that, accumulating millions of yuan in kickbacks from the company in a single year.
The Shancheng Group is a huge company with hundreds of middle-level managers. Without a thorough investigation, these corrupt officials would not have been found.
Because of Ou Wenxuan's matter, Lin Fan began a major reshuffle of the Shancheng Group, ordering Gao Xuan to thoroughly investigate the company, including everyone with any power within the Shancheng Group.
Let's see how many more 'Owen Xuans' the entire Shancheng Group can uncover.
Lin Fan used his phone to assign tasks and then went up the mountain with the others.
Following the mountain path uphill leads to Zhang Dabao's orchard. Beyond the orchard, the path ascends further, becoming a rugged mountain trail.
"Wenxuan, your mountain has a unique scenery, preserving its natural simplicity," Xiao Ruoyun exclaimed, gazing at the lush forest around her.
"Hmm," Owen Xuan replied listlessly.
"Wenxuan, what's wrong with you!" Xiao Ruoyun noticed Ou Wenxuan's unusual behavior.
Ou Wenxuan suddenly snapped out of his daze. He had been immersed in the grief of being fired, so how did he end up on the mountain inexplicably?
Looking back, I found myself surrounded by trees, unable to see the way back.
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to accept being fired. Luckily, the boss didn't pursue the embezzlement issue; otherwise, I'd be in jail.
Thinking of this, Ou Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief and went back to his pretentious state.
"This mountain is called Dangyang Mountain. It is located north of the mountain city. Its peaks are soaring into the clouds and its cliffs are thousands of feet high. When viewed from a distance, it looks like a thousand-foot-long divine sword piercing into the clouds."
"Dangyang Mountain, with an altitude of over 1200 meters, is the highest peak in the mountain city."
Ou Wenxuan introduced the mountain as if it were his own, as if it were his own personal mountain.
"We're so lucky to get to visit Mr. Ou's own mountain!"
"That's right, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
The flattery from several classmates made Ou Wenxuan feel smug.
The highest level of bragging is when you brag so much that you believe it yourself.
Clearly, Owen Xuan has reached this level.
"I'll be your guide!" Owen Xuan said, and walked straight to the front.
"This is my first time visiting Wenxuan's mountain. Wenxuan is usually very busy with work, so busy that we didn't even see each other on Valentine's Day this year." Xiao Ruoyun chatted as she walked. "Wenxuan also has a bad habit of transferring money to me."
Xiao Ruoyun chattered on and on the way, making Lin Fan and Su Ruowei's ears ache.
At first, a group of classmates enthusiastically echoed the sentiment, but later it became a mere formality.
In the end, even these sycophants got tired of it.
Listening to Xiao Ruoyun's boasting, time seemed to pass especially slowly.
Moreover, all the scenery along the way was surprisingly consistent, nothing but trees. At first, it was pleasing to the eye, but after seeing it so many times, I became aesthetically fatigued.
"Let's take a break. When will we reach the top?"
Xiao Ruoyun's mouth was dry and her legs were exhausted from talking.
"Almost there, almost there! Let's rest for a bit up ahead."
Owen Xuan had no idea when he would reach the top; he just kept going upwards.
He planned to lead everyone down around 3 or 4 pm, and that's how he would get through the day.
As luck would have it, there happened to be a large rock in front of them. The rock was long and flat and not very tall, and it looked like it would be big enough for the group of people to sit down and rest.
Xiao Ruoyun quickly ran a few steps and sat down on the rock.
People followed, and the stone was filled with people until Su Ruowei sat down, but Lin Fan was still standing.
"Lin Fan, please sit down," Su Ruowei said, standing up.
"No, I'll just wander around for a bit and come back later."
Lin Fan gestured for Su Ruowei to sit down, then continued walking upstairs.
Not long after walking, Lin Fan found a pile of feces on the ground. It looked fresh, and there were several plum blossom-shaped footprints on the muddy ground next to the feces.
"This mountain is indeed a barren mountain. Ou Wenxuan's forced attempt to pretend it's green has harmed both himself and others."
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly and hurriedly went back to tell everyone the news.
The most urgent thing is to get everyone down the mountain as soon as possible. What if we encounter a tiger? Should we fight it or not?
If you don't beat someone, you can eat them; if you do, you're breaking the law!
I rushed back, but unfortunately, I was still too late.
When Lin Fan returned, he saw the group of people trembling on a large rock, all staring at a fierce tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead not far away.
The tiger was about 20 meters away from the crowd, lazily stretching its body.
Judging from this, the tiger has probably eaten its fill and doesn't seem to have much of an appetite right now.
"Wen, Wenxuan, is this tiger also yours?" Xiao Ruoyun asked, stammering.
"Would you believe me if I said that?" Ou Wenxuan was also terrified.
"No, I don't really believe it."
Xiao Ruoyun regretted coming to this mountain. She knew that this mountain was a barren mountain and could not possibly belong to Ou Wenxuan, but she had pretended to be rich in order to show off.
These classmates tacitly understood that the mountain land could not possibly be privately owned; they were all just trying to curry favor with Xiao Ruoyun and Ou Wenxuan.
Su Ruowei and Wang Xue were just bystanders; the minority submitted to the majority.
"Ow—"
The tiger roared through the mountains, its roar shaking the heavens, terrifying everyone.
After roaring, the tiger slowly walked towards the group.
