Chapter 162 Work hard
Du Ruo was right, some bad things should not be done in the living room. When someone was about to do something, the sound of two children talking came from outside the door. This person was so angry that he gritted his teeth and punched the sofa.
Before going to sleep at night, Du Ruo thought of her great cause again.
"What are you talking about? Master Zheng and his fellow disciples? Didn't they do..."
Du Ruo asked in surprise. She really didn't expect this.
"They can make a fake look indistinguishable from the original. Restoring porcelain is a piece of cake. They are experts in this field."
Hey, you know what, that does make sense.
Du Ruo touched his chin, pondering this possibility. However, didn’t those people go abroad?
"They didn't leave? I want them to come back now, are they willing?"
"If you asked them to come back a year ago, they might not be willing to do so. But if you ask them to come back now, they would be more than happy to do so."
Looks like there's some gossip here? Du Ruo was very curious, so she moved closer to Yuan Tingchuan, hugged him around the waist like a servile person, and then she leaned into his arms and acted coquettishly.
Yuan Tingchuan held the people by his side and said, "I did send them out at that time, but I didn't let them go completely. These people have families to support, they don't speak the language, and they don't have that much money. They have been struggling for a year and are much more anxious than you can imagine. It's just that their place has been taken down, and they don't know what to do even if they come back. What's more, they are worried that the Qu family will retaliate against them, so they dare not run back at all."
Du Ruo understood: "That is to say, they can't stay outside anymore, but they don't dare to come back. They are in a dilemma. If I extend an olive branch to them at this time, they will most likely come back and work for me obediently with their bags."
"Yes, just send someone to tell them, and I guarantee they will show up in front of you in three days."
"Is it that urgent? Are you sure?"
"I'm sure they're more anxious than you think."
It looks like this group of people are in a really bad situation.
Yuan Tingchuan was right. Three days later, Master Zheng and his two brothers showed up in Du Ruo's office.
The three of them looked a little depressed. Niu Jiang gestured to Du Ruo, indicating that he wanted to smoke a cigarette.
Du Ruo waved his hand to indicate that it was up to him.
Niu Jiang smoked silently. Zhang Shiping couldn't help but glance at his senior brother. He always had a quick temper, but he had calmed down a lot in the past year. If it were in the past, he would have jumped up long ago, but now, even though he was so anxious that his brows were furrowed, he managed to suppress his temper.
Niu Jiang took a puff of cigarette and said, "We don't want to know how Mr. Yuan found us. The three of us are small people and don't have money. I think you two don't need our money. Is it for your craft?"
He looked up at Du Ruo, his voice filled with fatigue.
"Boss Du, to be honest, we did learn this, and I really don't want to do this anymore. It's always shady and sneaky, like a rat crossing the street. I can't make much money, but the risks are quite high. When will it end?
But, the purpose of life is to fool this mouth. Now we brothers have no other choice, so we agree to let you do it. Anyway, it is a broken jar, so just smash it. "
The three brothers all had helpless and dejected looks on their faces, their backs were hunched, and they didn't have any energy at all.
Du Ruo understood as soon as she heard it. Yuan Tingchuan just wanted to hand the person over to her. She didn't say much. Maybe it was intentional to put some psychological pressure on these three people.
Du Ruo smiled and said, "Did you misunderstand something? I don't do anything illegal. You know I'm not short of money. I'm different from the Qu Group. I didn't ask you to come here for that."
The three brothers looked at each other in bewilderment. If they weren't counterfeits, then why had they gone to all the trouble to bring them here?
"I bought a piece of land. There is a garbage dump in the middle of it. It was filled in during the "Four Olds" campaign. There are a lot of porcelains in it, but they are all damaged. I plan to do porcelain restoration. What do you think?"
Repairing porcelain? Niu Jiang lowered his head and thought for a while, then whispered, "Do you want to do it quietly? Do you need to keep it secret?"
This makes sense, the three brothers have something in the other party's hands that holds something against them, and since the other party has done something shady, it's natural that they want them to take the blame.
Zhang Shiping stood up in a flash, he looked at Du Ruo and said: "Boss Du, the three of us brothers barely escaped a disaster last time, we can't do this, if we all go to jail, what will happen to our family? If we die, the whole family will die, we might as well go begging now."
Du Ruo was speechless.
"That garbage dump was identified by the higher-ups. They don't want it anymore. Although it's an antique, it's time-consuming and laborious to piece together. The higher-ups don't have that much money. After researching it, they treated it as garbage. Now that piece of land belongs to me. I want you to work there in an open and aboveboard manner. Do you understand?"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, as long as they didn't do anything illegal.
After looking at each other, Master Zheng said, "Mr. Du, since it's not illegal, let's do it." He felt happy after he said that. This was a serious job, and it was very professional and suitable. He didn't have to worry about trouble from the Qu family. This was a good thing.
Niu Jiang was also happy. He said to Du Ruo, "Boss Du, you and Mr. Yuan are both our great benefactors. Whether or not we will trade is another matter. If it weren't for Mr. Yuan last time, we would have been dead. Thank you so much for thinking of us this time. We will definitely do our best, so don't worry."
Zhang Shiping nodded desperately: "Don't worry, we will do our best."
Their biggest desire and need now is to have a decent and normal job, to provide their family with food and clothing and to live a comfortable life. Since they have this opportunity, they must seize it, because if they miss it, they will never have it again.
With their skills, they are not afraid of having no work to do, but they have enemies. No matter it is the Qu family or the Chen family, if they know their whereabouts, they will not let them go. They are powerless and are always worried. Now it's good to follow President Du. With her President Yuan around, they don't have to be afraid of anything.
"Mr. Du, we don't ask about wages. You can give it to us as you see fit. But first, we need you to do us a favor. We didn't bring our family with us this time. Please send someone to pick them up. Where should we live? We also need you to help us rent a house."
Du Ruo waved his hand.
"Work hard for me. I don't have a big house, so I'll give you one over at Shengshi Garden as an advance payment."
