Chapter 22
That guy laughed and said, “Mr. Hartley is not only young and talented, but also cares a lot about the general public.”
His topic suddenly shifted. The locals here have been living off farming and raising sheep for generations, and they just don’t get how to run a B&B or something like that”
The locals here were very simple, but many sppoke dialects, so it’s quite challenging to run a restaurant or B&B.
Marcus had been exploring the business world for many years and knew exactly what the other person was thinking, “The Hartley Group has arranged a professional team that will teach them step by step so that everyone here can live and work in peace and contentment”
The leader laughed again, this time very pleased.
After lunch
After sending off the leader, Cornelia didn’t idle around, and together with Ben and Marcus, they inspected the situation around the scenic area.
There’s only one road, going straight from the airport to the scenic area, surrounded by rugged mountain roads and some shabby houses.

The villagers’ homes were s****d all over the mountain, and although it looked close from one house to another, it took at least half an hour to walk back and forth along the mountain
road
Marcus didn’t mind the tiredness and dirt, he visited each household to learn more about the situation that he couldn’t learn from Helena.
Just as they were about to return, a loud noise suddenly came from the mountain
As the earthquake struck, loose soil and stones smashed towards them.
“Mr. Hartley, watch out!”
Cornelia shouted
If something happened to Marcus, the entire Hartley Group would be plunged into chaos, and her high-paying job might not be secure.
Her body reacted faster than her brain, and she quickly pounced on Marcus, trying to block the stones with her body.
Marcus was facing away from her to her left, noticing the danger later than she did.
When he heard her shout, he turned around and saw Cornelia spread her arms and pounce on him.
Instinctively, he reached out to catch her, and her soft body slammed into his arms, then he felt a stone hit her shoulder and fall to the ground.
If it weren’t for Cornelia blocking the stone, it might have hit him in the head.
A few seconds later, the surroundings became quiet
Cornelia immediately backed away, ‘Mr. Hartley, are you okay?”
Marcus felt something sticky on his hand and looked down to see blood.
