Du Ruo said confidently, "I know someone who is very good at porcelain restoration. I took a look at the things in that pit yesterday. If I'm lucky, it's a treasure trove."
"Didn't anyone report this to the experts above?"
"According to the villagers, they reported it and conducted on-site investigations, but the difficulty was too great and the investment of manpower and material resources was too great, so they finally decided to give up."
"Since you've given up, you can do whatever you want to me. You've killed two birds with one stone."
Yuan Tingchuan pondered for a moment and said, "Leave the Xingwang Village matter to me. I'll make a call. There's no bidding involved there right now. Just tell them you want to invest in building a factory and get the land first."
The city government's bidding meeting was held as scheduled. As expected, Shengshi Group failed in the bid, and Chen Yuan ran to find Du Ruo.
"Mr. Du, I just can't understand. With our financial resources, why would we keep the reserve price so low? Isn't this just giving away the meat that's right in front of us?"
What he didn't say explicitly was that Chen Yuan couldn't understand why Du Ruo gave the things to Han Ming. The two families were old rivals, and the grudges between Han Ming and Du Ruo were countless. President Du would never be soft-hearted towards Han Ming no matter what, which made Chen Yuan puzzled.
"You'll understand this in less than a month. I can't say more now. I can only tell you that a blessing in disguise may come from a misfortune."
This meant there was something fishy going on, but Mr. Du couldn't bring himself to say it out loud. Considering Mr. Yuan Tingchuan's recent return, Chen Yuan had a guess: could Mr. Yuan have some inside information? Since Mr. Du wouldn't say anything, he'd just have to wait and see.
"Boss Du, hasn't Old Fan returned yet? I want to talk to him about the security issues at Shengshi Garden. I've called him several times, but he's not answering."
"It will be soon. Fan Jun will be back in the next two days. You can have a face-to-face meeting with him then."
The big man whom Fan Jun saved back then had his grandfather's birthday celebrated some time ago, so Fan Jun went to Beijing and has not returned yet.
The owners of the first phase of Shengshi Garden have moved in one after another. The security guards are naturally from Shengshi Security. They want to keep the money within the family, so it is naturally their own business.
When Chen Yuan left, he said to Du Ruo, "Don't forget to come to my house for dinner. Bring Mr. Yuan and the two children. Your sister-in-law will make dumplings for you."
After seeing Chen Yuan off, Du Ruo was thinking that she had to find time to go to Wanxian, where the porcelain restoration master she knew lived.
But she couldn't leave because of the recent affairs in Xingwang Village, so she had to take the land first.
Since I'm going to Mrs. Chen's house for dinner, I can't go empty-handed. What's more, it's the first time she's moved into a new house and she invited me to warm up the house, so I have to give her something.
In the afternoon, Du Ruo drove to the newly renovated China World Trade Center to buy a gift.
She picked out a skirt in the children's clothing area of the China World Trade Center and planned to take it to Chen's house for Lingling to wear. Since they were moving into a new house, Du Ruo wanted to give them some decorations. She was about to go upstairs with the skirt in her hand when she heard someone calling her from behind.
"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, Du Ruo, I'm calling you." The man came up and grabbed Du Ruo's sleeve, with impatience in his tone.
Du Ruo freed her sleeves and turned around to see that it was her former sister-in-law Liu Mei.
It's been a long time since I last saw her. The last time I saw Liu Mei was when she was making a big fuss at her doorstep. Her former sister-in-law has changed a lot.
He wore a fashionable suit with small shoulder pads on his upper body, which made his already sturdy body look even broader and wider. He wore tight-fitting pants on his lower body, which were very tight to him. His face was covered with a thick layer of powder, which seemed to be able to fall off. Although he had changed a lot, the style was still so familiar.
Liu Mei pulled Du Ruo and said, "Let's find a place to chat?" Her eyes were full of longing.
Du Ruo said coldly: "I have nothing to say to the Han family."
Liu Mei said something shocking: "I'm not a member of the Han family? Han Yan and I divorced a long time ago?"
Du Ruo was a little interested. Divorced? That's quite unusual. How about a chat?
The two of them went to the coffee shop on the top floor of the China World Trade Center, and Du Ruo ordered two cups of coffee.
Liu Mei pretended to be serious and took a sip. She held back for a while before swallowing it down like Chinese medicine. She leaned forward and whispered to Du Ruo, "What's so good about this bitter soup? I just don't understand. Back then, when we were in Hong Kong, my family drank this stuff all day long. For a while, Han Yan even forbade us from drinking water, so we had to get used to this stuff. I really couldn't adapt to it. I almost went crazy drinking it."
Du Ruo almost spit out a mouthful of coffee. No water? Only this stuff? Are you looking for death?
Liu Mei sighed deeply, and said with emotion: "Sister-in-law, I used to dislike you, but actually we don't have any deep hatred. You are really a good person, much better than that bastard Han Yan. There is no good person in this old Han family. We are really unlucky."
Du Ruo went straight to the point: "Why did you get divorced?"
"Another Chen Shimei. When we first came back, we lived quite well at my mother's house. Han Yan was also very honest and behaved well, pretending to be a coward. Even when those two old guys came to visit, he only dared to meet them secretly. I was living a pretty good life.
Ever since Han Ming came back last year, he's changed. I don't know where he made his fortune, probably from his wealthy father-in-law. He started a company and got Han Luo out of it. The three brothers are getting rich together. I thought it was fine, who wouldn't be happy to have money? But I never expected this."
Liu Mei gritted her teeth and slammed the table twice, attracting the attention of the guests next door. She coughed awkwardly and said in a low voice, "This Han Yan brought back this little devil and insisted on divorcing me. It almost pissed me off to death."
"You agreed to divorce just because he asked for it?" This is not Liu Mei's character.
"Let them get away with it? Do they really think I'm dead? I refused to do it then and beat that little devil until his eyes were black and blue, and then I scratched Han Yan severely. The old woman refused to take it anymore and started beating me up. I was determined to go straight to the police. I was beaten to death, and they didn't care? I'm going to call the police."
"What happened next?" This farce is quite interesting.
"Later, your Han Ming told me that if I agreed to a divorce, he would give me 500,000 yuan. I wouldn't have to take care of the child anymore, and I could still live in the house. I'd get extra money if I stayed at home to take care of the child. I figured it was okay. Only when I got something was it mine. With money, I'd feel more confident. Don't you agree?"
