Xu Damao seemed not to understand what the phrase "for the child's uncle to earn" meant, and muttered it to himself twice before he realized it.
siluke.
He said with a wry smile, "Brother Chu, what are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person? The people who got Ma Lao Er to leave this time were all from the south. I can say I didn't get involved at all."
"You think you can just say you didn't get involved? I bet quite a few people know about the conflict between you two. After all, Ma Lao Er's family has some influence."
"What if they come after you? Brother, sometimes you can't oversimplify things." Li Chu sighed and patted Xu Damao on the shoulder.
"No matter what kind of person you are, I just hope that you will think more carefully when doing certain things in the future. I know that doing business is not easy these days, and all sorts of strange and shady people can jump out, but while dealing with people is one thing, you must be careful to maintain proper boundaries."
By the way, I have some good news for you. Your partner has been promoted, so he'll be able to help you handle some of those messy situations.
"Partner? Brother Chu, you mean Jia Dong got promoted? To vice president?"
"Um"
"Hey, that's great news! When did this happen?"
"The documents just came down."
"This kid, no way, we have to give him a proper congratulation this time."
"You guys discuss it, just don't go too far."
Xu Damao left in high spirits. He couldn't wait to go back and set up a feast to celebrate with Wang Jiadong.
This time it's really different.
He believed that his two restaurants would have far fewer problems in the future, and he even wondered if he should give Wang Jiadong a larger share of the business.
But when Xu Damao thought of Li Chu, he shook his head. He would definitely not let his nephew take even a tiny bit more.
Forget it, let's just leave it as it is.
Li Chu understood his little scheme, but when he thought about what he had just said about sending that person away, his heart sank slightly.
This guy has gotten a bit cocky these past two years. I still need to give him a talking-to. If he keeps walking by the river, he's bound to get his shoes wet. If he goes too far, his father-in-law's little bit of credit won't be enough to protect him.
They've been friends for decades, and Li Chu didn't want to see this guy end up in a bad way.
Many high-voltage lines are off-limits; a single mishap could result in death or serious injury.
Thinking of this, he sighed, turned around, and walked back into the outpatient building.
...
"Qiu Nan, does your Director Li still have a lot of that medicine left?"
"What's wrong, Sister Fang? I remember there are only a few pills left at home." Ding Qiunan looked at the older sister who worked in the logistics department with some doubt.
"Hey, didn't you give me five pills the other day? Your brother Liu gave one to a friend of his, and the friend felt it was really good after taking it, so he was thinking about whether he could buy more."
"Hehe, Sister Fang, our shopkeeper specifically told me that it's impossible to sell that medicine, and there really aren't many left at home. Didn't you see that I only gave you five pills?"
Li Chu told her that each person could be given ten pills.
When she went to collect them, she thought about it and decided to give each person only five. It wasn't that she was reluctant to give them up, but rather that she didn't want to spoil these people's bad habits too much.
This thing is indeed worthless, but there's always a difference in how close or distant the people who ask her for medicine are.
She'll continue to give to people she's close to, but as for people she's not close to, why should she give to them just because they want her?
Since that's what they said, Sister Fang had no choice. She couldn't force the man to make medicine for her, could she? Not to mention her, even her father-in-law would have to make an appointment in advance.
Thinking of this, Sister Fang sighed inwardly. Her grand plan to make a fortune had just failed. She could only chat casually for a few more minutes before reluctantly taking her leave.
She had barely left when Xiaoyu from the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy came in.
"Qiu Nan, I saw Sister Fang just leave from here. Could she be here to ask for more medicine?"
"Ha, she said her man gave one of those pills to a friend, and the friend wanted to buy some. Who knows if what she said is true or false."
She actually paid money to buy it? Doesn't she even consider whether that's possible? If I could really sell it, why would I give away so much for free?
As Ding Qiunan spoke, she lowered her head, opened a drawer, took out a bag containing medicine, and handed it to Xiaoyu.
"Here, take it."
"Thank you, Qiu Nan." Xiao Yu smiled broadly as she took the money and put it in her pocket.
"Take it easy, don't treat your men like cattle."
"I know, I only let him take two pills a week at most, it's a gradual process, I understand. Hey Qiu Nan, do you think my complexion looks better lately?"
"You know what, it really is! She looks much more radiant than before." Ding Qiunan carefully examined Xiaoyu's face; her complexion was indeed not as dull as before.
"Right? I have to say, the medicine that Director Li made is really good. Although it's for men, we women benefit from it too."
"Go away, what are you babbling about in broad daylight?"
"Tch, what's the big deal?" Xiaoyu said dismissively, pursing her lips.
"Qiu Nan, how many years have we known each other?"
"It's been twenty years, hasn't it? What happened?"
"We've had a pretty good relationship all these years, haven't we?"
"Just say what you want to say, stop beating around the bush."
"Hehe," Xiaoyu laughed shyly, "I just want to know if Director Li has been giving you any special medicine at home, otherwise why haven't you changed at all over the years?"
Standing next to Wenhui, who would believe you're mother and daughter? You look like sisters! If such a drug really existed, you'd better think of me. We're about the same age, but look at me now.
"Pfft..." Ding Qiunan was amused by Xiaoyu's exaggerated expression and laughed.
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I'm old too, you know."
"Heh, that's right, you're old, but your face hasn't aged," Xiaoyu said, pouting.
"I really don't know about the medicine you mentioned. I never take medicine at home. I've only taken some medicine that he gave me to regulate my body a few times before. I've never taken anything else."
Ding Qiunan was telling the truth, and she hadn't even taken that medicine to regulate her body more than a few times before giving up.
As for why she still looks the same, she herself is completely baffled and can't figure it out.
She had asked Li Chu before, but each time he replied that it was because the product was moisturizing, which she couldn't believe. She thought he was joking and didn't take it to heart at all. Eventually, she stopped asking.
But that's the truth. Li Chu told her the truth, but it was a truth that was beyond people's imagination and hard to accept.
Often, the truth is harder to believe.
