After Quitting to Deliver, My Stone-to-Gold GF Freaked Out

"Julian called us an hour ago and told us this. There's no need for you to tell us again!"

When did Julian say that, and why don't I know about it?

"You couldn't get through on the phone, so we held a conference call ourselves."

Since I suspected there was something wrong with my phone, I turned it off and threw it in a corner.

When I opened my phone, countless messages came in. Just when I was racking my brains to come up with a conclusion, Julian actually told the work group all the results of my investigation.

I stood there frozen, my heart filled with disbelief.

This result was calculated by me alone after repeated modeling late into the night, with no electronic products around. How would Julian know?

Could it be? I looked at my girlfriend Sophia. Although she didn't come home last night, she came back early this morning.

After returning to the tent, everyone went to catch up on their sleep, and I quietly set off with my bag on my back.

I don't know if Sophia has betrayed me. Now the only person I can trust is myself.

When I was exploring a few days ago, I noticed that the soil moisture on the neighboring mountain was a little unusual, and I suspected there was a large mine underneath.

I devoted myself to the survey, recording the moisture and rock formations, and after a whole day of work I roughly determined that there was a silver mine at the foot of the mountain.

To prevent others from peeking at my report, I even finished writing the exploration report on the mountain before returning to the camp.

But when I got back to the camp, I found everyone gathered in the meeting room toasting and cheering.

"Our Julian is truly an angel sent to us by God. I never thought that he would discover three mineral deposits in just two days."

"That's right, Liam Evans has been keeping us here in this godforsaken place for almost two months, and we haven't found anything."

"Cheers to our Mountain God brother, who will lead us to the pinnacle of life in the future!"

They surrounded a man and spoke flattering words to him.

My heart tightened and a bad premonition came over me.

When everyone saw me come in, they pulled me in front of the screen.

"Liam, look at the gift Julian brought us, the silver mine in the mountain next door!"

I stared at Julian in front of me, wondering why he always achieved my results before me.

"Liam, what were you doing in this mess? Did you find anything?"

"What can he discover? He's just busying himself to show off his ability!"

"That's great. From now on, we can stay at home with our wives and children, and Julian can tell us where the mineral deposits are located."

Director Harris even sent a video himself.

"Given that Julian discovered three mineral deposits in just two days, after discussion within the bureau, he will be the leader of your exploration team from now on. You will follow his instructions on all matters."

The girlfriend hugged Julian excitedly, and the two were so close that they were just about to have their wedding night.

My colleagues were delighted, but I was the only one feeling bitter.

How on earth did he do it?

After this incident, Julian's reputation soared, and he held a press conference as the image spokesperson for the Resources Bureau.

We-media outlets reposted and promoted his ability of "The Midas Touch", and he became a household name.

Every day, countless people block the entrance of the unit.

"Mark, can you help me ask David if there are any treasures or minerals under my fields?"

"Mark, does David need a wife? I have three daughters, all of them are as beautiful as flowers..."

Facing everyone's inquiries, Julian always pretended to be mysterious and kept silent, and the lackeys around him came forward to help.

"Mountain God is busy with many things and only cares about the major issues concerning the country."
