"Brother Tao, you tell the story." Song Liming glanced at Luo Tao and said.
Luo Tao was a little embarrassed, but he still said with a brave face: "Xiuyuan, normally speaking, the last time you asked me to do something, I didn't do it well..."
The world changes so fast. Before, Li Xiuyuan would wait for him at the door to ask him to do something, but now, in the blink of an eye, he needs to stand at the door and wait for Li Xiuyuan to ask someone to do something for him.
"Uncle Luo, it's over." Li Xiuyuan interrupted Luo Tao before he could finish. There were two meanings implied in his words. One was that it was over and he should not mention it.
Another reason is that I paid for the meal myself and the matter was done once and for all, so I don't owe anyone any favors.
Luo Tao sighed when he heard this. Although he didn't necessarily understand Li Xiuyuan's meaning, the attitude Li Xiuyuan expressed that night was very clear. Although he was still polite, it was completely different from the warmth he had shown before.
However, Luo Tao also understood. Before, people asked him to do something, and he had only done half of the job. He felt embarrassed at the time, and he didn't even ask his elder brother Luo Yi out. Now that something happened at home, he didn't expect others to have a good attitude.
Repaying evil with kindness is only the first half of the sentence. The second half is "How to repay kindness?"
"It's like this, Xiuyuan. I think your company knows something about this. My brother was suddenly taken away that night, and there's been no news since then. Everyone in the family is going crazy. But my eldest brother is in charge of all external affairs in our family. My sister-in-law doesn't know anyone, so I'm even less familiar with him.
You're close by and work in the same unit, so do you think there's any news?" Luo Tao asked with a stiff upper lip.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "Uncle Luo, this is the case. You know, I just arrived at the unit and I'm not familiar with the place. I had to rely on Director Luo to take care of me before. After Director Luo got into trouble, life in my unit has been very difficult.
It’s not that I don’t want to help, but I can’t get any information at all…”
"Xiuyuan..."
"Uncle Luo, listen to me first. I have some gossip to share with you, but I will definitely deny it later." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Yes, of course. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"There's a rumor going around that Director Luo might have been implicated by County Magistrate Zheng, which is why he's being investigated. Actually, the incident itself has little to do with Director Luo. I think if this is investigated thoroughly, Director Luo should be able to return. As for the rest, I honestly don't know anything about it, and they didn't mention it during the company meeting."
Li Xiuyuan briefly explained that the news was obvious and everyone in the know knew it, but for Luo Tao, it was big news, at least it gave him some clues.
It's not that something happened to the eldest brother, but that he was implicated.
"I understand. Thank you, Xiuyuan."
"Hey, Uncle Luo, don't say that. I can't help you much, but Director Luo took good care of me when he was at the unit. If there is anything at home and you need help, just call me." Li Xiuyuan's kind words seemed to be free of charge.
Li Xiuyuan didn't know if Luo Yi could come back. After all, he and Luo Yi were not familiar with each other. Who knew if Luo Yi was involved? It was hard to say. If Luo Yi couldn't come back, saying a few good words wouldn't affect him at all.
If Luo Yi comes back, he might still remember the favor.
You don't have to do things, but you must speak your mind.
"Okay, Xiuyuan, thank you for being so kind at this time. I will remember this friendship." Luo Tao's face was a little moved. It is more helpful to add icing on the cake than to provide timely assistance.
