1622: Befriend 

Befriend 

"There's no need to thank me. I hope you can keep your promise."2

"Of course."

After saying that, Ang Ji retrieved a letter of agreement from his bag and handed it to Chi Yang with both hands.

Chi Yang looked at the stamp that had already been stuck on its bottom. He retrieved his personal seal and used his thumb to stamp it on, leaving his thumbprint behind.

"This is to thank your country for acknowledging me. Also, I have a personal gift for Lieutenant General Chi and Chairman Nangong."

Upon saying that, Pang Long handed the other contract to Chi Yang. "This is a recently discovered riverbed. The circles mark areas where we plan to mine. Lieutenant General Chi can personally inspect it and confirm the mining rights I have given. Treat it as a gift from me. Thank you for your help, Lieutenant General Chi."

Chi Yang looked at the contract before returning it.

Pang Long was stunned. "What do you mean, Lieutenant General Chi? Is it not enough?"

Four was the best he could offer.

"You don't have to thank me, so you don't have to give me anything."

Pang Long was taken aback. "But if it weren't for you, Wei Du would also…"

"I did that because Wei Du hurt my fiance, not because I wanted to help you."

Pang Long, "..."

"In other words, I was doing it for my wife—so you don't need to feel like you owe me anything."

Hearing Chi Yang's words, Nangong Nuannuan felt extremely smug.

Pang Long had benefited from her situation. Big Brother Chi Yang had killed Wei Du because of her, not because of him.

Pang Long was stunned. He then looked at Nangong Nuannuan good-naturedly and pushed the contract toward her.

"Chairman Nangong, since Lieutenant General Chi won't accept this gift, please accept it."

"If he won't accept it, why should I? He already said that he's actively not helping you. You're just taking advantage of my situation."

Pang Long looked at the proud couple who did not lack money and was truly envious.

However, he had to give this token of friendship away regardless of what they replied—or he would be left feeling uneasy. 

"Then… these four mines can be considered as a thank you to the Benevolent Angel Hospital under Chairman Nangong's command for the timely research of the medicine to heal my soldiers. The lives of so many soldiers and the scattered morale of the army were saved by Chairman Nangong."

Nangong Nuannuan shook her head. "You don't have to thank me. I didn't develop the antidote to save your soldiers at the time, nor was it to restore your lost morale. It was for the soldiers and brothers under my Big Brother Chi Yang. Therefore, you just happened to benefit from Big Brother Chi Yang's situation again."

Pang Long, "…"

Ang Ji was amused by the high-profile couple and could not help but giggle.

"President, since Lieutenant General Chi and Chairman Nangong have both declined, let's forget about this matter."

After all, it was four mineral veins. They were under a lot of pressure to give them away.

It would be best to not have to give them away.

Pang Long looked at the ore vein that the couple was refusing and felt so happy he fell into a daze.

"Chairman Nangong is rich and overbearing, so she won't bother with such a small amount of money. However, the President will remember the friendship between Chairman Nangong and Lieutenant General Chi. In the future, if the two of you need anything, just ask us directly. We will definitely help to our best capacity."

"Yes." Nangong Nuannuan nodded. Her answer was simple and clear.
