Gu Ranzhou sat on a chair, playing with the teacup in his hand, and asked nonchalantly, "Baby?"
Seeing that the other party was somewhat interested, Song Tingsheng thought there was something interesting, so he continued, "Yes, I also got it by chance. I would like to use it as a reward to ask Mr. Gu for help."
"What is it?" Gu Ranzhou looked at him and asked calmly after hearing what the other party said.
"Honeysuckle tree."
Gu Ranzhou almost laughed out loud when he heard these four words, and then he said with a faint smile: "It's not like I don't consider this kind of thing a treasure." Of course, he knew very well in his heart that if it was just an ordinary honeysuckle tree, with Song Tingsheng's personality, it would be impossible for him to call it a treasure, and there must be a sequel.
Song Tingsheng naturally knew what the other party meant when he heard the question. He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked towards the vegetable garden in the yard: "What if it is a five-hundred-year-old honeysuckle tree?" Then he continued: "I believe Mr. Gu also knows that the flowers that grow after the honeysuckle tree grows can prolong people's life, but not all honeysuckle trees have such an effect. It must be a long-aged one to have this effect." After speaking, he looked at Gu Ranzhou.
But if that honeysuckle tree was in his hands, it would be different. Now Song Tingsheng wanted to use him as a reward and asked him to help. He was naturally willing to agree. After all, he was well-known in the circle of his previous life for his love for medicinal herbs.
"Young Master Song, are you trying to trick me? A five-hundred-year-old honeysuckle tree is far from prolonging life. Long-term consumption can only make you strong and healthy. Besides, whether your honeysuckle tree can grow and bloom normally is another matter."
Song Tingsheng hadn't expected the other party to say that, but he had to admit that Gu Ranzhou was indeed far-sighted. The 500-year-old honeysuckle tree was indeed good, but in his hands, it was just a round piece of wood as hard as stone, let alone any growth. Even if he took it out and said it was stone, people would believe it. After all, it couldn't be cut with a knife. So he just regarded it as a reward. Anyway, the thing was now in his hands, and he knew he didn't have the ability. "That's true, but I believe Mr. Gu has the ability."
The secretary following Song Tingsheng froze when he heard their boss say that. It's not like he hadn't seen that piece of wood before. The secretary couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Wow, the boss's mouth is really powerful. He dares to fool anyone." Then he looked at the boss with admiration as he talked calmly with the great white shark in front of him who had stirred up the stock market and plundered countless resources in just 10 days.
Gu Ranzhou listened to the compliment and just smiled faintly. He couldn't help but ask, "What kind of person could make you, Young Master Song, come to me personally for help? I don't believe that there is no one in Hong Kong Island who can help you."
Song Tingshan had originally thought about talking a little longer, but he never expected the other party to ask this question: "Mr. Gu, I won't hide it from you. I'll tell you the truth. This time I want you to take action to save my father-in-law."
Gu Ranzhou nodded, his eyes falling on the two children not far away: "Well, what next?"
Song Tingsheng explained on the side: "My father-in-law was just a migrant worker at first. Later, due to some coincidences, he got a sum of money to open a factory, and then it became bigger and bigger. During the turmoil, he grabbed a glimmer of hope and climbed up to his current status. Later, when the country was stable, my father-in-law also donated a lot of money and materials, and his name was listed on the national list. But my father-in-law was in good health a year ago, but he suddenly fell ill not long ago. My wife and I consulted many doctors, both Chinese and Western medicine, and their conclusion was that he fell ill due to exhaustion. We originally thought so, but later my father-in-law's condition became more and more difficult to control, and now he is only hanging on to one breath. My wife was in tears, until the guest elder of my father-in-law's family came back and saw some clues. Unfortunately, he was not good at spells and had no way to solve it. Instead, he seriously injured himself, so..." Song Tingsheng became more and more excited as he spoke.
Before Song Tingsheng could finish, Gu Ranzhou spoke up and continued, "So you thought of me. Didn't you look for other people from the Xuanmen among you?"
Song Tingsheng explained with a bitter heart, "I did look for them, but unfortunately, I couldn't save them and was seriously injured by the backlash. Fortunately, they didn't lose their lives, otherwise our Su and Song families couldn't afford it."
Gu Ranzhou didn't think much about it. Instead, he sighed inwardly as he looked at the two children sitting not far away. He didn't know how long it would take him to come back this time. Zhenchuan was out on a mission again. If he went out to do business at this time, it would be unlikely to send these two children to his second brother's place. After all, his second brother and the others also had to go to work. If it really didn't work, he could only send them back to the old house and let his mother help take care of them.
Lu Haoyu, who was eating with Gu Yu'an, heard that his uncle was going out to do something. Since there was no one at home, he guessed that his uncle might want to send them to their grandmother.
"Uncle, are you going out to do something?"
Gu Ranzhou didn't expect Lu Haoyu to ask this, so he nodded and said, "Well, I was wondering what you would do if I went out."
When Lu Haoyu heard his uncle say this, he nodded and said, "Uncle, An An and I will be fine at home alone."
Gu Ranzhou was stunned after hearing this, and then told the other party his plan: "I plan to send you back to the old house, what do you think, Xiaoyu?"
Lu Haoyu shook his head: "No, uncle, I can ride my bike to and from school with An An. I have also learned to cook. The supply company is not far from our home. I can go buy groceries myself and come back to cook and take care of An An."
"Will this work?" Gu Ranzhou frowned, looking at Lu Haoyu who had grown into a young man, but he couldn't help feeling a little worried. He felt uneasy about a 15-year-old boy taking care of an 11 or 12-year-old child, even if the two children had the ability to protect themselves.
