Du Ruo was right. Some bad things should not be done in the living room. When someone was about to strike, the sound of two children talking came from outside the door, which made him so angry that he gritted his teeth and punched the sofa.
Before going to bed at night, Du Ruo thought of her great cause again.
"What did you say? Master Zheng and his fellow apprentices? Aren't they doing..."
Du Ruo asked in surprise, she really didn't expect this.
"They can make a fake that's indistinguishable from the original. Restoring porcelain is a piece of cake for them. It's their specialty."
Hey, you know what, that does make some sense.
Du Ruo touched his chin, pondering this possibility, but 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 probably be more than happy to do so."
Looks like there's some gossip here? Du Ruo was so eager to learn that she moved closer to Yuan Tingchuan, hugged him around the waist like a dog, and leaned into his arms, acting like a spoiled child.
Yuan Tingchuan hugged the people to him and said, "I did send them away at the time, but I didn't let them go completely. These people have families with them, they don't speak the language, and they don't have that much money. They've been through a lot this past year and are much more anxious than you can imagine. It's just that their place has been taken away, and even if they come back they don't know what to do. 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, nine out of ten times they will obediently come back to work for me with their bags."
"That's right. Just send someone to tell them, and I guarantee they'll 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 seems that this group of people are in a really bad situation.
Yuan Tingchuan was right. Three days later, Master Zheng and his two brothers appeared 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 his own business.
Niu Jiang smoked silently. Zhang Shiping couldn't help but glance at the eldest brother. He always had a quick temper, but he had been tempered 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 frowning with anxiety, he barely controlled his temper.
Niu Jiang took a puff of a cigarette and said, "We don't want to know how Mr. Yuan found us. The three of us brothers are small-time people and don't have any money. I don't think you two need our money. Is it for our craft?"
He looked up at Du Ruo, his voice filled with fatigue.
"Mr. Du, to be honest, we did study this, and I really don't want to do this anymore. It's always shady and sneaky, like a rat crossing the street. You can't make much money, but the risks are quite high. When will it end?
But, life is all about fooling people, and now we brothers have no other choice but to agree to do it for you. It's a broken jar anyway, so just smash it."
The three brothers all had helpless and dejected expressions on their faces, their backs were hunched, and they had no 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 won't do anything illegal. You all 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 going to make fakes, then why had they gone to all the trouble to bring them in from outside?
"I bought a piece of land with a garbage dump in the middle. It was filled in during the "Four Olds" campaign. There's quite a bit of porcelain in there, but it's all damaged. I'm planning to do some porcelain restoration. What do you think?"
Repairing porcelain? Niu Jiang lowered his head and thought for a while, then whispered, "Why do you do it secretly? Do you need to keep it secret?"
This makes sense. The three brothers have something in someone else's hands, and since the other party did something shady, it's natural that they want them to take the blame.
Zhang Shiping stood up quickly and 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 families? If we die, the whole family will be killed. We might as well beg for food now."
Du Ruo was speechless.
"That garbage pile was appraised by the higher-ups, but they didn't want it anymore. Although it's an antique, it's time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it might not even be possible to piece it together. The higher-ups didn't have that much funding, so after researching it, they just treated it as garbage. Now that piece of land belongs to me, I want you to work on it openly. 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, that was good.
After looking at each other, Master Zheng said, "Mr. Du, since it's not illegal, let's do it." After he said that, he felt happy again. This was also a serious job, and it was very professional. He didn't have to worry about being in trouble with the Qu family. This was a good thing.
Niu Jiang was also happy. He said to Du Ruo, "Mr. Du, you and Mr. Yuan are both our great benefactors. Whether or not we 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 do our best, so don't worry."
Zhang Shiping nodded desperately: "Don't worry, we will do our best."
Their greatest 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. If they miss it, they will never have it again.
With their skills, they are not afraid of having no work, but they have enemies. No matter whether it is the Qu family or the Chen family, they will not let them go if they know their whereabouts. They are powerless and live in fear all the time. Now it is 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 the salary. You can give it as you see fit. But first, we need you to do us a favor. We didn't bring our family with us this time. Could you please send someone to bring them back? As for where to live? Could you also help us rent a house?"
Du Ruo waved his hand.
"Work hard for me. We don't have a big house, so I'll give you one over at Shengshi Garden as an advance payment."
