When the child in Wang Ziwen's arms saw his grandfather get out of the car, his little legs started kicking wildly, his little hands stretched out, and he kept making "ooh ooh" sounds, wanting to be held.
Seeing this, Li Chu quickly took a few steps and took the child from her brother-in-law's arms.
"This child still likes you more, no matter what."
"Of course, he's my grandson, he'll definitely love his grandpa, right, my little rascal?"
"Giggle..."
"What brings you here today, Mr. Cao?"
“Master Cao came here specifically to see you,” Wang Ziwen explained, then turned to him and said, “Master Cao, you talk to Xiao Chu first, I have some things to take care of at home.”
"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing."
After Wang Ziwen went inside, Li Chu looked at Master Cao and said, "Old Cao, come on in."
"No need, no need, it's just a few words, I won't go in," Master Cao said, waving his hand.
"It's like this, Dr. Li, do you still have that Yuan blue and white porcelain bowl with lotus pattern?"
"Of course it's there. What, Old Cao, are you still eyeing it?" Li Chu said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
Ever since that day when he asked Master Cao to help identify it, Master Cao had been coming to him quite often, giving Li Chu a real headache.
"Hehe," Master Cao chuckled somewhat sheepishly.
"This is a big deal."
"Oh? What do you mean? Who wants to buy it this time?"
“There was a businessman from Taiwan who wanted to buy some porcelain. He heard from someone that I had handled a piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain, so he asked someone to come to me and said that he was willing to pay 20,000 US dollars as long as he was satisfied with the item.”
How about this price?
That's quite a high price; it could be exchanged for at least 200,000 RMB on the black market.
It's like buying a Santana and still having 20,000 yuan left for gas.
but……
Li Chu smiled and shook his head.
"Mr. Cao, you know my identity, don't you? Asking me to do business with Taiwanese businessmen is trying to harm me."
"Ah...this..."
To be honest, Master Cao had never thought about this.
"Dr. Li, I was being reckless. I'm so sorry!"
The only reason he was willing to come and help with the rope-pulling was because the pay was high enough.
The other party agreed that if the deal went smoothly, they would pay him 10% of the transaction price as a reward.
Goodness, this is no small amount of money. He wouldn't even consider a few hundred or a thousand, but this time it's tens of thousands. How many people could resist such a sum?
"It's alright, Mr. Cao, but let me say it again: I really have no intention of selling that bowl, no matter how much it costs. So in the future, no matter who asks you about it, just refuse and tell them that the owner accidentally broke it and it's gone."
Hearing this, Master Cao's lips twitched, but there was nothing he could do, since the bowl belonged to someone else.
Just like the porcelain bowls that people use for their dogs' food bowls, he almost cursed when he first saw them that day.
I wanted to take a look at the bowl, but I almost got bitten by a dog.
Li Chu was also in a playful mood at the time, so he deliberately didn't pick them up for him to see, which made Master Cao itchy to this day, unable to figure out whether those bowls were real or fake.
Leaving aside the Yuan blue-and-white porcelain, the two chatted for a few more minutes at the door. The child in his arms was fine, nestled obediently in his arms, but the dog in the house wouldn't have it.
The owner came home, but he preferred to stand at the door rather than come in, which made the dogs behind the door angry.
"Woof woof"
When Master Cao heard the dog barking, he couldn't help but shudder. He had almost been bitten that time, which left him with a psychological trauma.
"Alright, Dr. Li, your dog is getting impatient. Let's talk another day."
"Alright, Mr. Cao, please take care."
Watching Master Cao disappear around the corner, Li Chu smiled and shook his head.
Well, this old man is quite interesting, and he can be considered to have principles.
At the very least, no one was told who owned that Yuan blue-and-white porcelain bowl.
For that reason alone, he didn't mind continuing to do business with him, and even invited him to his home several times.
However, his constant lingering interest in that bowl was giving him a headache, and he would also frequently inquire indirectly about whether there were any other good things.
"oh oh"
"Oh, little stinky baby wants to go home? Okay, let's go home, and then we'll go pick up Grandma together, okay?"
"oh"
"Yes, my little rascal is so well-behaved."
...
To Li Chu's surprise, Qin Huairu came to the hospital to see him a few days later.
When Ding Qiunan first saw Qin Huairu in his office, he didn't even dare to recognize her.
How long had it been since I last saw her? Less than a year, anyway. The woman had changed so much; her hair had turned completely gray, making her look at least ten years older.
The incident involving her son Banggeng was a huge blow to her.
Upon seeing him enter, Qin Huai, who had been sitting in a chair, immediately knelt down on the ground.
Her words startled both Ding Qiunan and Li Chu.
Ding Qiunan quickly went over and helped her up.
"Li Chu, Brother Li, I beg you, I beg you, sister-in-law, please save my son! For the sake of the deceased Dongxu, please save my son! I beg you!"
Sun, Moon, and Splendor
Having worked in the factory for over a decade or two, she still possessed considerable strength. Ding Qiunan tried to help her up twice but couldn't, and she ended up having to kowtow twice.
After finally managing to pull her up, Ding Qiunan was exhausted.
"Sister Qin, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you kneeling down?"
"Qiu Nan, I really have no other choice! Waaah..."
Li Chu's head was buzzing at this moment. This was the thing he couldn't stand the most, and it was also the thing that annoyed him the most.
He didn't say anything, but went straight to the chair behind the desk and sat down, waiting for his wife to comfort Qin Huairu.
"Sister-in-law, who told you I can save your son?"
After she calmed down, Li Chu finally spoke and asked.
"I... no one told me. I just thought that now that you're a high-ranking official, you must have a way."
Oh!
It would be strange if no one told you.
However, Li Chu quickly realized who it could be.
It must be He Yuzhu. Only he knows Li Chu's exact identity because he cooked a few meals at Li Chu's house.
“Sister-in-law, let’s put aside whether I’m a high-ranking official or not. I’m a soldier, at most I have a certain rank, but your son was arrested by the police, prosecuted by the procuratorate, and sentenced by the court. He’s currently in a prison under the jurisdiction of the judicial department. None of this has anything to do with me, so how can I help him?”
The string of arrests and judgments left Qin Huairu bewildered. She paused for a moment before saying, "Brother Li, your wife knows I've done things to wrong you before. I'll accept whatever you do to me, but I beg you to help me save my son."
