"Brother-in-law, is there anything else we need to handle?"
Gu Yunpeng smiled and shook his head. "No. President Qin has solved everything."

Gu Yunpeng agreed. "Exactly. 'If you want to prosper, build roads first' really is a saying that never gets old."
"But why did construction move so quickly on your side of the Sigma District? By rights, the best engineering team in the entire Safe Zone at tunneling through mountains belongs to Joint Mining. Ninety percent of the Four Major Mining Companies' operations are
