Pig dragon jade
"Female ghost?" Lu He Nian repeated, like he had heard something ridiculous, "I remember that we recruited Qin Wen Tao from the capital"s most prestigious university, is that correct?"
"Correct, we recruited him four years ago." The secretary nodded, subconsciously shrinking his body. He began to regret conveying this kind of brainless speech on behalf of Qin Wen Tao.
Still talking about a female ghost? You went up the mountain to carry out construction, why not say that you had come across a mountain G.o.d instead!
"Take care of the cultural protection unit first." Lu He Nian raised his head and with a cold face briefed several issues. Then he waved his hand for his secretary to withdraw.
The secretary meticulously recorded the director"s requirements, humbly stood up and hurriedly left the director"s office. Only when he had finally returned to his own office could he relax and let go of his breath. He had been at Chief Lu"s side for five years but he still could not adapt to his powerful aura.
He shouldn"t have listened to Qin Wen Tao"s crazy nonsense.
After the secretary left, Lu He Nian took a quick look at the cultural protection unit"s email. For no particular reason, his heart felt jittery. He had spent a lot of effort and money to get Dan Qiu Mountain. However, that was not the reason why he cared so much with this place.
There was another reason, even he himself felt somewhat amazed. He first saw Dan Qiu Mountain when he was five years old and there was a familiar feeling in his heart, as if he belonged there. This was one of the reasons why he wanted to develop Dan Qiu Mountain.
Now, because that Qin Wen Tao couldn"t do his job properly, the cultural protection unit people got a chance to look around the mountain. He had no idea how long the construction would be delayed due to this.
Lu He Nian"s brows wrinkled. He was contemplating the matter when the cellphone on his office table rang.
He took it and saw his mother, Jiang Shu Hua"s number on the screen. Lu He Nian paused, but in the end he still connected the phone.
"Mum, I told you already, I won"t go to the blind date set up by the Jiang family. If you actually like Jiang Si Si, ask Jiang Yan to go." Once the line was connected, Lu He Nian spoke right away.
"This smelly boy, where do I like Jiang Si Si!" Madam Jiang Shu Hua sounded unsatisfied at the other end of the line. "Jiang Yan is not like you, he was popular in school. You as his cousin don"t need to worry with the matter of him finding a girlfriend."
Lu He Nian: "……."
Seeing that his son didn"t speak, Jiang Shu Hua returned to the topic, "I called you not because of the blind date matter."
"Then what is it about?"
"Actually it"s still concerning Jiang Si Si," Jiang Shu Hua sighed before continuing, "I just received information that this morning Jiang Si Si fell from the second floor and broke her leg."
Lu He Nian did not react. What was the relation between Jiang Si Si falling and breaking her leg with him? He then heard his mother continue: "Originally I thought there wouldn"t be any problems, Mr Zhang had already counted her name1 and said that it is excellent. She has a long and healthy life. Why after arranging a blind date with you something bad occurred?"
Jiang Shu Hua was disappointed, it wasn"t because she liked Jiang Si Si but simply because after so many years, it was with great difficulty that she finally found a person whose numerology would fit her son"s. Still thinking there might be hope that she could hold a grandson. She didn"t expect that there would be an accident before the blind date could be carried out.
Lu He Nian"s face immediately sank and dropped his voice: "Don"t arrange this kind of thing in the future."
"How can I not arrange, next year you will be turning 30 already….." Jiang Shu Hua muttered. Finally, afraid of hurting her youngest son, she did not say anything else, only to ask: "Your dad told me to ask what happened with Dan Qiu Mountain?"
"Nothing"s the matter, the news wrote without any basis". When Jiang Shu Hua asked about Dan Qiu Mountain, Lu He Nian couldn"t help recalling what his secretary had just said, there was a female ghost in Dan Qiu Mountain. Originally he did not believe.
But at that moment…..
He had dark energy inside him and in this life, a person who could be his wife had not appeared yet. What could not be possible then? Originally he didn"t believe in supernatural beings. However, after so many years and many blind date arrangements from home, those who had met him were always met with accidents afterwards. This time, Jiang Si Si"s matter was even more exaggerated. Hadn"t even met and she had already fallen, breaking her leg.
The corner of Lu He Nian"s mouth exposed a bitter laugh. Honestly, he couldn"t help but believe.
He picked up his private phone line and unenthusiastically said: "Book me a return air ticket to Haishi. Also, reply to Zhou Guo Dong, I"ll meet him tomorrow at Haishi."

Even though Yun Rong had decided to go down the mountain, she was still worried that the construction team would decide to come back. Therefore, she set up an enchantment at the bottom of Dan Qiu Mountain. However, since she had slept for a few millenia, her power was not like how it used to be. It was also a bit hard to set up this large enchantment.
While she was still worrying, the next day the place where the construction had taken place was visited by a new batch of people. It wasn"t enough for them to be scared yesterday, today they still dared to come? Yun Rong used her spiritual power to take a look and discovered that it wasn"t the same group of people.
Rather, it was a few old people with white hair.
The people from yesterday were young and vigorous and she didn"t worry when scaring them. But today"s people had old arms and old bones. Don"t mention scaring them, she was afraid that just by moving her fingers, their souls would already return to the netherworld.
Yun Rong was momentarily distressed.
"Old Ding ah, these few jade pieces, when you look at them, they resemble Western Zhou"s2 crafts."
"Old Lin, I saw this few jade rings resemble the pig-dragon jade3. However, the finishing in the joint seemed to be more refined."
1: The Chinese count the number of strokes in their name characters to predict their fortune. When matchmaking, the two families would count their characters and see if they matched, indicating compatibility.
2: Western Zhou Dynasty: 1046 to 771 BC.
3: A pig-dragon or zhūlóng is a type of jade artifact with a pig-like head and elongated limbless body coiled around to the head and described as “suggestively fetal” (picture at the beginning of the chapter). Early pig dragons are thick and stubby, and later examples have more graceful, snake-like bodies. Pig dragons were often featured as burial goods. They were buried to provide comfort to the deceased.
"there was a familiar feeling in his heart, as if he belonged there"?? not exactly belonging to the mountain, but to the G.o.ddess of the mountain
