Chapter 974 Ready to Prepare, Begin to Engage the Enemy
"A bomb, do you want it?"
"Lu Yuanqiu!"
"Huh?" Lu Yuanqiu came back to his senses and looked at Liu Wangchun.
He thought for a moment, put the cards on the table, then went over and picked up his son, placing him on his seat.
"Let Yan Yan play with you guys, I have to go out for a bit."
"You really want your son to learn that?!"
Lu Yanhe looked at his father in a daze. He jumped down from the chair, his feet not even touching the ground, and lay on his mother's lap to continue scrolling through his phone. He had no interest in playing cards at all.
"Where are you going?" Bai Qingxia called out.
Lu Yuanqiu: "I'll go back this afternoon!"
Liu Wangchun muttered, "It seems this man has a secret he's hiding."
Long Liandong: "..."
The only sound in the room was Lu Yanhe scrolling through her phone. Strangely enough, as soon as Lu Yuanqiu left, the three women instantly lost interest in continuing to play. They sat quietly in their seats for a while before remembering to talk.
"...Never mind, let's switch to Dou Dizhu (a card game)."
Liu Wangchun sighed and tossed the playing cards in his hand over to gather them together.
Lu Yuanqiu drove the car out of the underground parking lot and headed towards his grandmother and second grandfather's residence.
Now that the news is out, he no longer needs to hide anything and has every reason to urge the two elderly people to be more vigilant. He should do everything he can at this stage, and if he can't do it perfectly, then he should try his best to do it perfectly... If he is suspected, the reason is that he has a friend in Sakura City who knew in advance about the severity of the situation there.
Arriving at his grandmother's place, perhaps because he was a little anxious, Lu Yuanqiu was furious about parking. There wasn't even a good parking space in the area, but the old lady liked to live in such narrow alleys with a strong sense of community.
"Grandma! Second Grandpa!"
Lu Yuanqiu parked his car a bit far away, and it took several turns and circles before he finally reached the courtyard where they lived.
"Pong! I won!"
"I'll eat another one of your generals!"
Two square tables were moved into the small courtyard. Four elderly people were playing mahjong on one side and two elderly people were playing chess on the other. The grandmother, who was playing mahjong, turned around, exclaimed with a smile, and said, "Xiao Qiu is here."
The second uncle was engrossed in playing chess, but was in a disadvantageous position. He only glanced back at his grandson without saying hello, and frantically moved his "king" to avoid being attacked.
"Where is Yan Yan?" As expected, Madam Lu's second question was about her great-grandson.
"It's at home, I didn't bring it."
Madam Lu Cao pulled Lu Yuanqiu to her friends and introduced him warmly. Lu Yuanqiu's smile was somewhat stiff as he greeted each of the elders.
“This is your Grandpa Song, do you remember him? He’s Xuanxuan’s grandpa,” Grandma said, pointing to one of the old men.
The old man grinned from ear to ear: "Xiao Qiu already has a son, but Xuan Xuan doesn't have a boyfriend yet."
"I remember, I remember, hello Grandpa Song." Lu Yuanqiu nodded hurriedly.
He doesn't remember anything. Xuanxuan has almost forgotten who he is.
"Grandma, have you seen the news? It's the news from Sakura City." Lu Yuanqiu quickly turned to look at his grandmother.
No.
"I saw it. What's wrong? Is it the flu?" Second Master turned around.
Men who enjoy watching the news are so handsome!
“Yes, yes, yes!” Lu Yuanqiu replied with a smile.
Suddenly realizing his expression was inappropriate, he quickly adopted a serious demeanor. "Yes, I have a friend in Sakura City. He told me the situation there is very serious, and that countless people in Sakura City have brought the disease out with them."
Upon hearing this, all the elderly people present looked at each other in disbelief, and for a moment they lost their mood for playing around. The grandson of the Lu family, a leader of a prestigious company, had personally come over to say this. This was too incredible. They all crowded around Lu Yuanqiu to ask if it was true.
Lu Yuanqiu nodded repeatedly, embellishing the "rumor" to make it sound very urgent.
"There are three things you must pay attention to now: First, reduce going out. Second, wear a mask when you go out and remember to disinfect before entering your home. Third, avoid contact with people returning from other provinces."
"Did you all understand?" Lu Yuanqiu looked around at the elderly people who had gathered around.
"I understand, I understand!" Grandma echoed along with the others.
Second Master, having managed a company before, was relatively more rational. He pulled Lu Yuanqiu aside and asked seriously, "Who told you that? I don't think you're the type to be easily startled. Is it really that serious?"
"Really, Second Master, have you ever seen me like this before?"
Lu Xingzhou nodded slowly, glanced back at his sister-in-law, and continued to ask, "It's more harmful to the elderly and children, right?"
"The elderly and children are more susceptible to the disease, and it is harder for them to resist it."
"Then you take good care of Yanyan. I'll keep an eye on your grandmother and your father-in-law. He should have quite a few people from Yingcheng on his side."
"Yes, I'll go to him next."
Lu Yuanqiu parted ways with his grandparents and quickly drove to the White Rhino headquarters.
He told Bai Songzhe the same thing, but added some "spice": "Dad, I have a friend in the 'relevant departments' in Yingcheng. He told me that the situation is not optimistic and that you should not let the people from the branch office come back recently. Give them leave and let them work from home in isolation."
"My friend is absolutely reliable."
Baek Song-cheol sat at his desk and read the news on his phone over and over again.
"this……"
He touched his forehead, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
It was clear that things happened so fast that he was caught off guard.
"Okay, okay... I'll have a meeting later and tell you to remember to take good care of Yanyan when you get home." Bai Songzhe made the decision in a few seconds and looked up at his son-in-law.
"I know, I'll bring you some masks to Xingfuli tomorrow."
Lu Yuanqiu returned to the underground parking garage, opened the "Remembering Those Bygone Days" group chat in his car, retyped what he had just said to Bai Songzhe, and posted it in the group.
Longshi Media.
Long Liandong picked up her phone first. She glanced at the messages in the group chat and quickly said, "Look at the group."
Liu Wangchun did as he was told, and Bai Qingxia took the phone from her son's hand.
Zhong Jincheng: Lu Yuanqiu, how come you believe in this stuff? Doesn't this happen every year?
Liang Jingfeng: President Lu is getting old, just like my dad, he forwards this kind of stuff from time to time.
Lu Yuanqiu: Please read the question carefully. This is what a friend in that department told me personally! It's not hearsay.
Damn, the plot is different! I remember before I was reborn, it was mostly older people who were disobedient, and the younger people were all very well-behaved...
wrong.
It's too early now; young people are more willing to believe the official figures, but that time hasn't come yet.
Lu Yuanqiu rubbed his forehead in the car.
Oh well, the young people aren't a big problem anyway, and they're not in Sakura City. They'll take precautions themselves when the time comes.
The most important things right now are the elderly and children, as well as the White Rhino, which is closely tied to Sakura City.
Long Liandong: Received.
Upon seeing this reply, Lu Yuanqiu was taken aback; Long Liandong truly trusted him.
Bai Qingxia: Received.
Liu Wangchun: I understand, I understand.
Zheng Yifeng: Received.
Three more people replied. Lu Yuanqiu smiled. He was quite curious about what the "Guandan Trio" were talking about at this moment.
The next morning, all the supplies Lu Yuanqiu had ordered online arrived. He drove to Xingfuli and delivered some to his family, and then to his second grandparents.
Everything is ready; let's prepare to meet the enemy.
