After a pleasant meal, Li Chu invited Chairman Lou to the study.

The remaining three ladies chatted in the living room.

Once inside the study, Chairman Lou stopped keeping Li Chu in suspense and took out a few sheets of paper from his bag, handing them to him.

"Dr. Li, take a look. This is a list of some items that I and several business friends donated together."

This was beyond Li Chu's expectations. He originally thought that only the Lou family would donate, but he didn't expect that Chairman Lou would also persuade several friends to donate together.

Holding the paper handed to him by Chairman Lou, Li Chu carefully read through its contents.

After seeing it, he had only one thought: these people are too extravagant and too rich.

No wonder those people kept targeting them, the businessmen.

The little money and gold bars in his warehouse are nothing compared to these people.

After placing the papers, which weighed more than a thousand pieces of gold, on his desk, Li Chu thought that perhaps his brother-in-law should handle this matter, as it would be a valuable political asset!

On second thought, I felt it was a bit unfair. My brother-in-law is currently ranked last in the district. He can't possibly eat such a big piece of cake by himself. If he tries to eat it all, he'll get too full and it will also arouse the jealousy of others.

This matter should be handled by Uncle Wang; you can just bring your brother-in-law along.

Uncle Wang is already at the ministerial level. With such a significant achievement this time, I wonder if it will allow him to take another step up.

Of course, forget about the top layer; that's impossible.

The next level isn't bad either. If we get into this one, then we can add certain prefixes before Uncle Wang's name.

The more Li Chu thought about it, the better it seemed, so he asked, "Chairman Lou, have you thought about how to donate these things?"

Lou Dong, who had spent half his life navigating the ups and downs of the business world, instantly understood the meaning behind Li Chu's words.

This is exactly what he's been waiting for. If Li Chu hadn't brought this up today, he really wouldn't know what to do.

"Dr. Li, do you have any suggestions?"

Li Chu thought for a moment before saying, "How about this, I'll tell one of my elders about this and have him send someone to contact you later?"

At first, Chairman Lou thought that the person Li Chu was talking about was his brother-in-law, Wang Ziwen, who was now the deputy district head, a fact that Chairman Lou was aware of.

I just didn't expect Li Chu to say that he was an elder, so it definitely couldn't be Wang Ziwen.

Upon hearing this, Chairman Lou's pupils contracted sharply. He had previously asked someone to investigate, but not only did they find nothing, he was also invited for tea. Now he was finally going to meet the person behind him.

"It's all up to Dr. Li to decide. I came here today hoping you could give me some advice."

Li Chu pointed to the list on the table and asked, "Chairman Lou, can I keep this list?"

"Of course, I have some more."

"I will go to see my elder tomorrow, and I will definitely give you an answer by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"By the way, Mr. Lou, I noticed you donated the house you're currently living in on that list. May I ask where you'll be living afterward?"

Chairman Lou said with a smile, "The accommodation has already been arranged. We can move in anytime. It's the second alley north of your alley..."

Chairman Lou then briefly described the living environment.

“Then we’re neighbors now, so we can visit each other more often. Xiao’e and Qiu Nan are best friends, and since we live so close, it’ll be easier for them to go shopping together.”

Chairman Lou was eager for his family to have a closer connection with Li Chu, the closer the better.

He must be happy that Li Chuneng said that.

With the most important matter settled, Chairman Lou was finally relieved and could now simply wait for the other party to come to him.

After chatting for a while longer, Chairman Lou and his family said goodbye and left.

After seeing them off, Li Chu picked up the phone and called Uncle Wang to inquire about his schedule for tomorrow, confirming that he would be in the office the next morning. Li Chu then arranged a time to meet Uncle Wang.

"What's wrong, Li Chu? Why do you have to chase me all the way to Uncle Wang's office to find him?"

Li Chu told his wife about the things he had discussed with Chairman Lou.

After listening, Ding Qiunan asked, "Isn't there any other solution to this? It's a pity to donate all that family fortune."

"Donate everything?" Li Chu shook his head with a smile: "These businessmen are all cunning; they'll definitely keep something in reserve for themselves. How could they possibly donate everything?"

"From what Xiao'e said, it seems that her family has already donated almost everything, even the house they live in now."

"What she said is not wrong, but even that little bit left is enough for an ordinary person to struggle for a lifetime."

Ding Qiunan didn't ask the question again, but instead sat on her husband's lap and asked, "Have you boiled the water yet? Can we take a bath now?"

Seeing his wife's actions, Li Chu knew what she was thinking and immediately felt a headache coming on. She was obsessed with getting pregnant.

"Honey, aren't you tired? How about we take a day off?"

Ding Qiunan shook her head firmly: "No, didn't you just say last night that I'm in my fertile period these days? That's why we should hurry up."

Li Chu now wished he could slap himself twice. Serves you right for being so cheeky and arrogant. Now you've really gotten yourself into trouble.

Looking at his wife sitting in his lap, blinking her big eyes, Li Chu gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, picked her up, and walked heavily toward the bathroom, with a feeling of heroic sacrifice.

Seeing her husband's expression, Ding Qiunan burst into cheerful laughter.

Xiao Hei crawled out of its doghouse in the living room, glanced at the closed bathroom door, shook its head, and went back into its doghouse.

With their two little owners away, these two have completely let loose.

Li Chu woke up rubbing his back again this morning. He looked back at his wife, who was sleeping soundly, and sighed silently.

He went all out last night and quickly put Ding Qiunan out of her rage.

We dare not let her have it easy, otherwise if she were tormented like this every day, everyone would have to kneel down.

It started raining last night, I don't know when, it was just a light drizzle.

As autumn rains bring cooler temperatures, the chill of October is gradually creeping into Beijing.

The rain wasn't heavy, so Li Chu stood in the rain and stretched his body for a while.

Then, holding an umbrella, he took the three dogs out for a walk.

He enjoyed his walk in the rain. It was a pity that Ding Qiunan couldn't get up in the morning; otherwise, the two of them together would have been even more romantic.

When I went back, I brought some fried dough sticks and soy milk. The small pot for holding the soy milk was borrowed from a restaurant.

Back home, looking at his wife who was already up and looking radiant, Li Chu couldn't help but lament the unfairness of the Creator. He had been exhausted last night, but a good night's sleep had completely restored him. Yet, his back was still a little sore. He wondered if he would ever be able to have fun again.
