It was already dark when the car drove near the resort hotel, but the advertising signs on both sides of the mountain road were brightly lit, guiding them all the way to the main entrance of the hotel located halfway up the mountain... When Song Jiang saw it, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's better. Deng Yaohui is so courageous, there are hotel advertising signs all along the road, it’s really a big deal!”

Deng Kai laughed after hearing this, "It's just a bluff... I heard that they signed a preferential policy for attracting investment with the local area. Things like water, electricity, land, etc. are all very cheap, and labor is also cheap." It’s not expensive, but you need some pre-job training in the early stage. In short, the ultimate purpose of my brother’s money is to make money, and it is extremely difficult for him to make a loss-making business.”

"Then what do the locals want? Lose money and make a profit?" Song Jiang asked confused.

Deng Kai chuckled and said, "Don't you understand this? If my brother didn't build a hotel here, this would be a poor ravine. Let alone making money, it would be pretty good if he didn't receive poverty subsidies every year! But once the hotel is built, It will be different in the future. With more tourists, taxes will go up, and there will be more employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for local people. This is a matter of mutual benefit for both parties, and there is no question of who will suffer and who will take advantage."

While talking, the car drove to the main entrance of the resort hotel. The greeter at the door immediately reported their license plate numbers into the intercom. Soon a man dressed as a manager trotted out from inside. He said very attentively, "Hello Mr. Deng, I am Wu Jun, the temporary manager of this hotel. I know that you are bringing your friends to play today, and all the facilities have been prepared for you in advance."

After Deng Kai got out of the car, he threw the car keys in his hand to the greeter and said, "Park the car for me!" Then he turned to look at the man and said, "Manager Wu, right? I heard from my brother about your project. I'm doing pretty well...so I thought I'd bring my friends over to have fun first, so don't let me lose face."

"Don't worry, Second Young Master, how could your friend not entertain you well? I guarantee that you will have fun eating and having fun these days!" Wu Jun said with confidence.

In fact, Song Jiang and others do not doubt this. Although Deng Kai, the second generation ancestor, does not have any real power in the group now, Deng Yaohui's attitude towards him has undergone a 180-degree change and is much better than before. Those who don't know really think that the two are brothers with the same father and mother. Therefore, for a small character like Wu Jun, naturally he will do whatever the superiors say, and no one dares to offend easily.

Then several people were brought to a small independent two-story villa by Wu Jun, and then he personally introduced them to all the facilities in the house. The service was very considerate, and he even took the initiative to leave his mobile phone before leaving. No., "If you have any temporary needs, please call me at any time... In this way, you can rest for a while. Dinner is already prepared and will be delivered in half an hour."

Song Jiang looked at Wu Jun's leaving figure through the floor-to-ceiling windows and couldn't help but sigh, "That's okay, Second Young Master Deng. You can eat so much wherever you go..."

Unexpectedly, Deng Kai showed a rare expression of embarrassment, "What can I eat or not? Don't you know my situation? Really... Is it okay if I don't eat or not?"

At this time, Song Jiang walked over Deng Kai's shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, okay... I won't mention it in the future."

At first, several people thought that Wu Jun had just prepared some light meals. After all, they were already very late when they arrived at the hotel. When the food was delivered, the four of them were slightly surprised. They saw that there was nothing but the local specialty fragrant pork on the table. In addition to pineapple, matsutake and yak meat, there are also some unnamed mountain delicacies... Wu Jun said with a mysterious face, "Although this table looks ordinary, it is something that ordinary guests cannot eat." So delicious."

Among them, except for Meng Zhe, only Deng Kai had seen some experience in eating and drinking. He glanced at the things on the table and said, "Eating these...isn't it illegal?"

Wu Jun blinked after hearing this and said, "It's not illegal for you to ask that, but... the locals don't dare to eat it. After all, it is a wild animal in a nature reserve."

Song Jiang was relieved when he heard this. It seemed that Manager Wu was playing around with the law. Eating these wild animals might not be illegal, but it was definitely not legal. Therefore, ordinary tourists could not eat them and only used them to entertain the occasional High-end VIPs who come here for vacation.

During the dinner, Manager Wu was very enthusiastic and kept toasting to several of them. At the same time, he also talked about some of the local customs and customs that he had learned in the past two years. However, except for Deng Kai, Song Jiang and the three of them did not. Eat the game on the table...

At this time, Song Jiang asked curiously, "Isn't it not allowed to build hotels in nature reserves?"

After hearing this, Wu Jun smiled and said, "It's not 100% impossible. It mainly depends on the level of the nature reserve. Our country's nature reserves are usually divided into three levels, which are the so-called core area, buffer zone and experimental area." . The core area must not be entered by any unit or individual; the buffer zone is located on the periphery of the core area and is only allowed to enter for scientific research and observation activities, which is the area where several scientific expedition personnel lost their way some time ago; and ours The resort hotel is located in the experimental zone, on the periphery of the buffer zone, and is much more maneuverable than the core zone and the buffer zone. Coupled with some local preferential policies, the project was successfully implemented."

Song Jiang didn't understand the ways of doing business, and even Deng Kai seemed to understand it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been known as Deng Ershao for so many years but was always half-assed, so Gu Hao took the initiative Turning the topic to disappearances, "Do people go missing in this place every year?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jun said hesitantly, "How should I put it? In fact, there are more rumors. After all, locals rarely run into deep mountains and old forests without any trouble. Even if they do, they only happen occasionally... When it comes to outsiders, this situation will happen." a bit more."

"Can you get them all back?" Song Jiang asked casually.

Wu Jun shook his head and said, "How is it possible? If you are lucky, you can find it back, but more legends say that there are no bones left... After all, it is too difficult to find someone in this primitive jungle. I have also heard from others. Yes, it happened a few years ago. A half-year-old child went into the mountains to herd sheep. When it got dark, the sheep came back, but the child who was herding them was missing. When the child's family counted the sheep, they found that they were missing. One, I guessed that the child should have gone into the mountain to look for sheep, but they disappeared together. At that time, many people should have been mobilized to go up the mountain to look for sheep, but no one was alive or dead... Later, a few years later, a group of people went into the mountain to look for sheep. The mushroom pickers found the bones of the child and the sheep in a pit half a meter deep, and the child's family had searched that location many times."
