Yao Fanghua was quiet and reserved since childhood, but she possessed a pair of clever hands. Her fingers were flexible and slender, and she loved to tinker. After dismantling her grandfather's...

Chapter 121 Find the Big Boss First

Li Yaozhong: "Have you eaten?"

"No." He really hadn't eaten; he hadn't even had lunch. Wang Jianwu was hungry.

He Xiulan, holding her child, hid behind Wang Jianwu, not daring to look up at all.

Upon hearing this, Li Yaozhong's wife quickly went to make noodles. There were noodles and eggs at home. Finally, she added a few drops of sesame oil and sprinkled some chopped green onions. It was quick and delicious.

"Make more, Jianwu has a big appetite."

"I know, I know." She already knew from the last time she came. Li Yaozhong's wife quickly cooked the noodles while taking out three bowls.

When the noodles were served, He Xiulan quickly pushed the bowl away, saying, "Auntie, I don't want any. Give some to my child."

"Don't mention it. Make yourself at home. It's just a bowl of noodles. Eat it while it's hot."

Li Yaozhong's wife put the chopsticks in her hand, and then put another pair in the child's hand.

Sweetie looked at her mother, then at her uncle, and then at Li Yaozhong's wife before taking the chopsticks. "Thank you, Grandma."

"Oh, sweet girl. What happened to her eye? Did she bump it?" Li Yaozhong's wife looked at her with concern. How could she be so careless?

He Xiulan burst into tears upon hearing this.

Wang Jianwu wasn't afraid of getting burned; he ate the noodles heartily and briefly recounted the story of the mother and daughter.

Li Yaozhong's wife was furious: "That heartless bastard! And you, as his mother, why didn't you stop him!"

Sweetie snuggled up to He Xiulan and whispered, "Mommy tried to stop her, but Mommy got hit too. Mommy couldn't win. Sweetie will grow up and protect Mommy."

"Don't you have a knife, an axe, scissors, or pesticides at home?!"

He Xiulan had tears in her eyes, and she was stunned by the series of questions asked by the woman in front of her. She was confused and shocked.

"Alright, alright, look how scared you are." Li Yaozhong glared at his wife. You've had enough of living, but she hasn't.

"Don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. But you can still scare him with a knife." In his opinion, he should indeed cut him with a knife; this kind of person needs to be taught a lesson.

Li Yaozhong's wife glared back at him, then asked He Xiulan fiercely, "Do you know what to do next time?"

He Xiulan nodded blankly, "Take the knife, chop, chop him." That wasn't enough to scare him.

Li Yaozhong's wife laughed loudly, "That's right! You haven't been a bad mother after all!"

Li Yaozhong's wife took the child, broke the egg in half, and told her to eat it in small bites.

"Stop crying! What's the use of crying? Eat! You need to eat to have energy!"

He Xiulan nodded repeatedly, but after being scolded by the old woman, she immediately picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Wang Jianwu: "Uncle, lend me the medical expenses first, and I'll pay you back later."

Li Yaozhong glared at him, "What are you saying! Is he the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die?"

"Well, your uncle here hasn't saved up much money either. For this kind of thing, we should go to the big shots."

That silly kid. He'd risk his entire savings to pay for someone else's medical treatment? Who'll pity him then? But we should definitely help. How about everyone donates something, starting with the big spenders!

So Li Yaozhong urged Wang Jianwu to eat quickly, and after they finished eating, the two of them took the mother and daughter out.

Li Yaozhong's wife advised, "Let's do it tomorrow, it's so late today."

Li Yaozhong: "Treatment is important, how can that be delayed? It's not that late. They definitely haven't slept yet!"

So, under the moonlight, Li Yaozhong, along with Wang Jianwu and He Xiulan and her daughter, knocked on Yu Jun's door.

Seeing Li Yaozhong's posture late at night, Yu Jun thought that the old man had brought his illegitimate son and his family to the door, and wondered if his wife had kicked him out.

Yu Jun looked at Li Yaozhong, wondering what he meant. Could he really be an illegitimate child? He always felt that this bastard might actually have done that kind of thing when he was young.

What was with that look in that old man's eyes? What did he mean? Li Yaozhong walked inside with his hands behind his back.

Wang Jianwu and his daughter He Xiulan stood at the door, not daring to go in.

Yu Jun urged Wang Jianwu and the others to hurry into the courtyard.

When the group arrived in the living room, Madam Yu had already brought out the tea.

After hearing Li Yaozhong's purpose, Yu Jun was speechless. He knew without a doubt what the old man was up to.

Mrs. Yu felt terrible upon hearing this, especially seeing the little girl right in front of her, so timid and pitiful. How could there be such a heartless person in this world? He's worse than an animal and doesn't deserve to be a father.

She immediately went back to her room to search through her private belongings.

Li Yaozhong chuckled, "That's one good thing about Yu Jun's wife."

Yu Jun glared at Li Yaozhong, thinking, "They really think they can rip me off like this? The real big shots live not far away! This guy doesn't know what's good for him!"

Yu Jun: "You know Huapeng Electric Appliances, right?"

Li Yaozhong broke off a banana from the table and ate it, then stuffed one into the hands of Wang Jianwu and He Xiulan, mother and daughter. "I know, they advertise every day, I can recite their slogans by heart, how could I not know? What? Did you drive them out of business?" Old Yu must hate Huapeng Electric Appliances to death, he suspects the old man is gritting his teeth in his dreams at night.

He even secretly bought a Huapeng washing machine behind Lao Yu's back, and his wife is thinking of buying a refrigerator. How could he not know Huapeng? He knows it all too well; who doesn't?

Li Yaozhong took a bite of banana, then, as if remembering something, exclaimed in surprise, "Weren't you looking for a way out lately? Looking for someone to collaborate with? You didn't go to Hua Peng, did you? Did he ignore you?"

Yu Jun choked up. What a scoundrel!

...To be honest, there really weren't any birds. But they've come up with a new approach!

"You're right! Just wait for my collaboration with Hua Peng. I'll treat you to the best wine then! The most expensive one!"

Li Yaozhong: "Really? You old fool, you've got some skills. You actually got fooled?"

Yu Jun glanced at him sideways, "What do you mean by 'fooling'? You can't imagine the relationship I have with Boss Hua Peng."

Yu Jun looked up at the roof: "Sigh, who's fooling whom? It's a miracle he wasn't fooled." The man surnamed Wu's eyes darted around, and after a moment's thought, he even suspected he was about to fall into a ditch. He became quieter, always discussing anything he wanted to say with his friends before speaking again.

Li Yaozhong: Ha, what a boast...

Yu Jun continued, "Those are the real big spenders!!"

Li Yaozhong nodded. That was indeed true. The man owned his own factory; all the profits were his own. He wasn't just a big shot, he was an incredibly wealthy one! With someone like that, there was no need for fundraising or donations. It was a pity he didn't know him, and besides, the factory and the owner were so far away in Shenzhen. Li Yaozhong looked at Yu Jun, wondering what the old man meant.

"You wait! I'll go to the study and make a call! I'll put in a good word for you, go to her place. If you win her over, she'll not only treat you to cigarettes, but also to good drinks. Medical expenses will be a piece of cake. With their influence, even the hospital could cover it."

Li Yaozhong: "You want me to make a trip to Shenzhen? Forget it."

Yu Jun: "I'm in Beijing, why would I go to Shenzhen? I live not far from here."

"Really? Come on, come on, I'll go to the study with you." Li Yaozhong pushed Yu Jun and headed towards the study.

After receiving the call and hearing Yu Jun's explanation, Yao Fanghua didn't call anyone over. She simply told the mother and daughter to go directly to the Beijing Municipal Hospital the next day. She would inform the hospital and arrange for advance payment. Huapeng Electric Appliances would cover all treatment costs.

Yao Fanghua hung up the phone. Wu Peng then called the local newspaper, asking them to follow up at the hospital the next day. He said the photos and story material were all prepared and could be used for advertising if needed. Since they had done a genuine good deed, there was no need to hide it, especially since the aid was done in the company's name and using the company's charitable funds. Both Huazhong Technology and Huapeng Electric are involved in charitable work. This was both to do good deeds and to gain public favor if needed.
