The Qu Group has finally come to an end. In the last investment and the recent financial crisis, it was shattered by the huge waves and declared bankruptcy.
Its remaining market share was quickly swallowed up by the Yuan Group. Before others could react, the Yuan Group was already cleaning up the battlefield.
Yuan Tingchuan once again demonstrated his Thunder Sword to his colleagues in the industry, its sharpness, swiftness, and invincibility. That's why he's been so busy lately.
Recently, things have come to an end, and even if the children don't mention it, he plans to slow down and spend more time with Du Ruo and the children.
The car drove along the winding road all the way to the suburbs. Obviously, the relevant personnel of the kindergarten had carefully selected and inspected this place in advance. The scenery here is nice.
In the distance, there are rolling mountains and shady green trees. What is rare is that there is a stream. The water is very clear and not deep. When the breeze blows, ripples appear on the stream. There are small fish swimming in it. With the blue sky and white clouds, green lawns, and sunlight shining through the clouds, it forms patches of mottled light and shadow on the lawn. The scenery is really nice.
As soon as Ling Yun got out of the car, he led the two children to run like crazy. Du Ruo himself was not really an athletic person, and Yuan Tingchuan was okay, but he was used to being "dignified" and really couldn't jump around like Ling San.
The kindergarten teacher blew the whistle in his hand loudly. When the children heard the clear and loud whistle, they obediently lined up in two lines in front of the teacher. The parents gathered in a circle and first organized the children to play games.
Ling Yun ran over to talk to the teacher. He wanted to play games together, but the teacher politely told him to wait a moment. Ling Yun came back dejected and complained to Du Ruo, "You're here to play with the kids. Why don't you take me with you?"
Du Ruo put her arm around his shoulders and pushed him aside so that he wouldn't get in the way.
Han Zhe held Chen Bin with his left hand and Yuan Shurui with his right hand. The three children carefully held the ball between their chests and walked forward. Everyone clapped and cheered hard.
Ling Yun kept walking around the two children, shouting "Come on!"
Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan looked at each other and smiled.
The two children were very happy to win second place. They brought the red flowers they received to show their parents.
Yuan Tingchuan immediately held both children in his arms, one on each side, and said to them, "Next time you run a race like this, you need to come up with a slogan and coordinate your movements so you can run faster. You need to think carefully before doing anything and never go into battle unprepared."
Du Ruo reached out and pinched his waist. Children just play games for fun. Why teach them so much?
Yuan Tingchuan secretly glared at Du Ruo, and his meaning was very clear: if he didn’t teach him when he was young, when would he teach him?
Ling Yun looked like he was being bored.
The two children ignored their parents' arguments and lay on Yuan Tingchuan's shoulders, whispering with Uncle Ling about how to dance faster when they were about to do the Gege dance.
Children have strong learning abilities. Although they couldn't fully understand Yuan Tingchuan's words, they immediately began to think about them.
Han Zhe touched his forehead and said, "Ruirui, let's team up later. Just as I'm about to throw the pocket out, you prepare to run. This way, we can run faster."
Yuan Shurui said, "Then Xiaozhe, you have to throw it more accurately. If it falls on the ground and you have to pick it up, you will run to the back."
Han Zhe patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm very accurate in throwing. Once, my grandma bullied my mom, and the stone I threw shattered the glass in one go."
George Han said, raising his little chin proudly, and Du Ruo couldn't help laughing.
Yuan Tingchuan looked at Du Ruo with amusement, as if to say, "So there have been times when you were bullied too?"
Ling Yun laughed out loud. He knew about Du Ruo's past troubles, and he also liked Han Zhe, the child who changed his fate and was accidentally left behind, very much, or rather, he cherished him especially.
Everyone is each other's "variable", including Yuan Tingchuan.
During the meal, Ling Yun took his two children to have a barbecue with other children. The two workaholic and conscienceless parents walked slowly around the stream and chatted.
"I've contacted Mr. Charles, but he's not very willing to sell. You know how special the Yaobian Tenmoku lamp is. The only three remaining pieces are in Country R, and they're nowhere else. Furthermore, it's incredibly eye-catching and truly dazzling. Having already acquired it, he has no intention of selling it. Besides, he's not short of money, which makes this even more difficult."
"It's hard, but we have to do it! I must get my things back."
There was determination in Du Ruo's tone.
Yuan Tingchuan also knew her determination and said, "Grandpa's birthday is in a few days. Let's think about it when we return to Hong Kong. I do have some rare pieces at home. Let's see if there are any that Charles might be interested in."
Du Ruo shook his head and said, "No need for now. I know what's going on. You just said you're a little free recently. Why don't you accompany me to the antique street and take a good walk. Maybe we can gain something. Even if the gain is not big, I have other plans."
Yuan Tingchuan had already stopped, his thin lips tightly pursed, his eyes filled with disapproval.
"Ruoruo, even today, do you still want to separate things so clearly from me? I don't think there's any need for such a clear distinction between you and me."
Du Ruo smiled and said, "Didn't you say it? Public is public, private is private. There's nothing wrong with this. It's very troublesome to get entangled with it."
Yuan Tingchuan gritted his teeth. Was he shooting himself in the foot?
Du Ruo smiled and patted him on the arm.
"I'm just teasing you. I'll definitely ask you when I need it. The main thing is that I already have an idea in mind about this matter, and I might need your help. Don't worry, you'll be busy."
Seeing that Yuan Tingchuan was still there, she knew that this man had become stubborn again and he would not leave unless she explained things to him clearly.
Du Ruo said helplessly: "Don't worry about where I got the news. The fact is that I know that someone in Country Y's museum has been stealing and it's not just one or two days.
He has a lot of museum treasures and has been trading them privately. Country Y doesn't know about this. I'd like to buy his stuff through some channels. I think Mr. Charles would be happy to exchange his country's stuff for his.
Yuan Tingchuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He hadn't heard anything about this matter. Was it true? Could he be so bold?
Du Ruo smiled without saying anything.
This story is of course true, but it was not revealed until 20 years later. It shocked the whole world at that time. The man stole hundreds of antiques, which were never discovered.
It is said that there are too many things in the Y Country Museum, and many of them are piled up, making it impossible to count them.
