Thinking about this, he hesitated again.
Let's forget about it and not think about so many houses anymore. But if I really come across a nice courtyard house, I wouldn't mind buying one or two more.
As he walked, he glanced back at the two people standing over there that he had just passed. What were they saying?
Good heavens, are they really this blatant now?
You two were just standing there on the main street, discussing selling permits?
Have these people become this crazy?
Moreover, these people will expand their operations further in the future, and they will dare to sell any kind of permit or approval document.
No wonder the crackdown will become increasingly severe in the future.
They're really obsessed with money.
Those who dabble in small things on the black market, including those who deal in foreign exchange or foreign exchange certificates, are nothing compared to these people.
After wandering aimlessly around the streets for a while, he finally turned and headed towards the hospital.
"Xiao Chu?"
The shouts from behind made him stop and turn around.
The person who called him was Wu Xiaoliu, sitting on his bicycle with his feet on the ground, across the street.
"It really is you! When did you get back?" Wu Xiaoliu recognized him and rode his bicycle over.
"Sixth Brother, I'll only be back for a day or two before the New Year."
Wu Xiaoliu turned to look around and asked, "Are you all alone?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Qiu Nan wasn't with you?"
"Sixth Brother, it's working hours now, okay? She's at work. What are you doing?"
"I found someone here to make two cabinets for Nannan. I came over to check how they are."
"Could it be that Nannan is getting married?"
"Yes, the man is a technician at their factory. The factory even provided him with an apartment this time. They'll get married once the apartment is ready."
"Congratulations, Sixth Brother, you've become a father-in-law! You'll have a son-in-law to take care of you from now on."
"What's the point of showing filial piety? As long as they can live their own lives well, that's enough."
"Please be sure to let us know when you need to get things done!"
"Even if you don't say it, you're still going to be included!"
"By the way, Sixth Brother, why didn't I see you come over during the Chinese New Year?"
“I took Lily and the children back to my hometown for Chinese New Year this year. I took a few days off and only got back two days ago. I haven’t had a chance to go there yet.”
"Is everything alright at home?"
"Everything's fine. Alright, Xiao Chu, let's not waste any more time. I'll come over another day and we can talk. I'm in a hurry to go and check out the cabinet."
"Okay, go ahead."
Watching Wu Xiaoliu ride his bicycle into the crowd, Li Chu then started walking towards the hospital.
...
In August, under the scorching sun, even the leaves on the trees in Beijing wilt and droop.
The main hospital, downstairs in the administration building.
Li Chu stood there, watching the jeep drive away, his face extremely gloomy.
The two sentries next to them exchanged a glance and stood there quietly, not daring to breathe.
Seeing the vice president standing there with a very unpleasant expression, the staff coming and going in the administration building all walked with lighter steps.
Despite the sweltering heat, everyone who passed by Li Chu felt a chill in the air.
It took him a full ten minutes to exhale and turn around to walk into the administration building.
Just then, a black sedan drove up from a distance. He was about to go upstairs when he saw the car and paused.
After the car got closer, they took another careful look and finally confirmed that it was Uncle Wang's car.
The car stopped, the passenger door opened, and Zhang Jianshe got out.
Seeing Li Chu standing there looking over, Zhang Jianshe hurriedly ran over.
Uncle Li
"Jianshe, what are you doing here instead of coming with the commander?"
"Uncle Li, it was the commander who sent me to pick you up. He's waiting for you in his office."
Upon hearing this, Li Chu turned to the sentry and said, "Help me report to the medical office and say that I've gone to the central command."
"yes"
"Let's get started with construction."
After saying that, he walked towards the car.
On the way to the central hub, Zhang Jianshe, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could tell that the man was not in a good mood, so he didn't dare to say a word.
Li Chu, sitting in the back row, tilted his head to look outside.
He knew that Uncle Wang must have contacted him because of what had just happened.
Outside the building where Uncle Wang works, Secretary Liu was already waiting at the door. When he saw Li Chu walking over, he took a few steps toward him.
"Vice President Li, the leader is already waiting for you."
"Thank you, Secretary Liu."
"You're too kind, it's what I should do."
In the office, Uncle Wang was sitting behind his desk. When he saw Li Chu come in, he stood up and walked to the sofa in the reception area to sit down.
Uncle Wang looked at his nephew, whose face was still dark, and smiled slightly.
"Sit down. What, do I have to treat you?"
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
"It's alright," Uncle Wang waved his hand. "It's normal for you to have this reaction. If you really didn't have any reaction at all, then you wouldn't be considered Li Quanyou's son."
These words were undeniably harsh. Secretary Liu, who had poured Li Chu a glass of water and brought it over, paused slightly after hearing them, but then resumed his normal pace, placed the water on the coffee table, and left the office.
Li Chu didn't react to what Uncle Wang said; he just sat there with his head down.
Uncle Wang didn't expect him to say anything, but instead asked, "Is it that you can't figure it out?"
"Uncle, to be honest, I really don't value those two prescriptions. It doesn't matter who the government wants to sell them to, but why sell them to those beasts?"
Reading at midnight
"Hehe," Uncle Wang chuckled, pointing at him. "You're still the same as when you were a kid, so cynical."
You yourself said that since it doesn't matter who you sell to, why not sell to Japan? After all, we'd get much-needed foreign exchange in return.
"Uncle, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Selling it to them isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I just can't stand the way some people act. It's been over thirty years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there are still people kneeling there. Are their spines broken?"
"Sigh~" Uncle Wang sighed, "There are always some people whose thinking is flawed."
"But you can rest assured, the price they mentioned is definitely out of the question. Let me give you a heads-up: the two prescriptions will cost a total of 800,000 dollars from the US, 1.5 million marks from West Germany, and the price from Japan will be the same as from the US. What do you think of this price?"
Upon hearing the price, Li Chu was shocked, and his expression improved considerably.
"Uncle, aren't there also France and England in Europe?"
"Their price hasn't been agreed upon yet, but our bottom line is that it can't be less than what the US offers."
Li Chu nodded. Two prescriptions that were completely useless could bring the country so much foreign exchange, so it was a good use of them.
