On the way back in the car, Ashan looked towards Gu Qingming from the front seat, "Mr. Gu."
Gu Qingming glared at him with dark eyes, "Shut up."
Ashan turned his head away tactfully, with his ears drooping, thinking about his future.
The driver was used to it, smiling as he gripped the steering wheel, "Going home, huh?"
Li Xiujun hummed, her earlobes feeling hot.
Gu Qingming put a coat on her and said, "The weather is getting colder now. You must not be used to it after coming back from Guangzhou. You should wear more clothes."
It was not just because of Gu Qingming's words, but also because of the weather, Li Xiujun happened to sneeze.
Gu Qingming instantly became alert, either touching Li Xiujun's forehead or asking her, "Do you have a cold? What happened?"
Li Xiujun waved her hands and shook her head again, "No, it was just a bit dry at most, and I sneezed, that's all. I really didn't think too much about it."
Li Xiujun thought that after her explanation, Gu Qingming would be relieved.
Who knew this person would become more and more angry? He said with a firm face, "I don't believe it."
The other three people in the car all looked surprised.
If it weren't for Li Xiujun's pleading, Gu Qingming would not have asked the driver to go back to the hospital. Otherwise, Dr. Li would definitely have argued with Gu Qingming.
Back home, Mr. Gu was instructing his assistant, "If the Third Young Master's wife does this, then do as she asks. It's not a good idea to be too absolute about the Li family matter."
"yes."
The assistant picked up the contract and when he turned around, he ran into Gu Qingming and Li Xiujun who had returned.
When Mr. Gu saw the two of them, he immediately came over to greet them happily, "Xiujun, how was the hospital today? Are you feeling well?"
"Mistress?" He immediately turned disgusted. "You came back from Guangzhou and didn't even bother to look after an old man like me. You turned around and went to be with Xiujun. You!"
Gu Qingming was choked and speechless. If he didn't follow Xiujun, Old Man Gu would scold him again.
Li Xiujun handed the physical examination report to Mr. Gu at this time, "Don't worry, Dad Gu, I've checked it out, and there's nothing serious. I just need to get a CT scan tomorrow and it will be almost done."
"That's good, that's good." Old Master Gu sighed deeply, "This way I can explain to your grandfather."
Otherwise, Xiujun would have just entered their house and been hit on the head, leaving her with sequelae. He couldn't bear the responsibility for this.
As he said this, Mr. Gu told Li Xiujun to go back and rest. He then found Gu Qingming alone and said, "Xiao San, the overseas branch said that if this batch of materials is shipped in, taxes will be added. We have to think carefully about this. If we lose money on this thing, we will lose everything."
The reason why no one is at the Gu family's house these days is because they all went abroad for inspection.
The most advanced equipment in factories now are all abroad, but with the current progress in the country, they do not need those equipments. They can manufacture things wholesale with just these ordinary equipments.
But in the opinion of the old man and Gu Qingming, this situation cannot last forever.
Today's society is ever-changing, and new possibilities may emerge one day.
Mr. Gu and Gu Qingming expressed their understanding, "In three years at most, if the coastal areas don't change, this thing will definitely be lost in our hands."
Gu Qingming pondered for a moment. He said, "Grandpa, let me wait and see! I've been communicating with merchants in Guangzhou these past few days, and the situation there isn't good."
"There are no roads, and it's too barren. Even though it's in a coastal area, the government didn't support it before, which was a problem."
Old Master Gu sighed and said solemnly, "Anyway, this decision is up to you. I'm old now, and there are some things I can't worry about, so I can only leave it to you young people."
Gu Qingming went over to support Mr. Gu, "Thank you for helping Xiujun with the Li family's affairs."
Mr. Gu stared at him strangely. "What nonsense are you talking about? Xiujun is my daughter-in-law. If I don't help her, who should I help?"
"Oh right!" Old Man Gu waved his hand. "The hospital said that Xiujun's grandfather's vital signs have improved recently, but he's doing well. I think he'll be ready for surgery in a while."
"Anyway, don't let anyone know about Xiujun's affairs. Although he appears stern, he is still worried about the child. I have to go over to play chess with him tonight. You and Xiujun should stay home alone. Don't make anyone angry."
Gu Qingming was stunned by what Mr. Guo said. He couldn't help but smile, "Xiujun likes me so much, how could she be angry?"
Old Master Gu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You kid! You're really getting more and more proud now."
Gu Qingming raised his chest deliberately, "There are some things that you, old man, don't know."
Old Master Gu patted him on the back and warned him helplessly, "Stop showing off in front of your father."
Gu Qingming groaned in pain, "You're just envious!"
The father and son teased each other and finally parted ways.
Gu Qingming went upstairs and saw Li Xiujun studying a stone. She had noticed last time that the quality of the stone was top-notch, but at that time she was afraid of causing trouble for the stall owner, so she left it in the capital to deal with it.
But she was busy these days and delayed this matter.
Gu Qingming walked over and hugged her softly, "Wait for me to sleep?"
Li Xiujun didn't look up as she was looking into the stone with a light bulb. "Qingming, is this stone really Imperial Green? If it is, as long as it doesn't crack, it might be able to sell for tens of thousands of yuan."
Gu Qingming felt a little jealous when he saw that Shitou had stolen his attention. He straightened Li Xiujun and asked, "Who is more important, me or Shitou?"
Li Xiujun could tell at a glance that he was jealous. She smiled sweetly, hugged Shitou in her arms, and held Gu Qingming's arm with one hand, "You two are so important."
Although these words did not satisfy him, but at this moment, Gu Qingming, I decided not to care about it.
He picked up Li Xiujun and hugged her. They squeezed into the sofa. He snatched the stone from Li Xiujun's hand and examined it carefully. "If it's this pattern, it should be similar."
Guangzhou is a coastal area and is eroded by sea water all year round. Any place where jade can grow is either a dilapidated thing or a wonderful thing.
Therefore, over the years, the custom of gambling on stones in Guangdong and Guangxi has become increasingly rampant. After all, it is a profitable method.
"Really?" Li Xiujun was very happy to get Gu Qingming's approval. She continued to study the stone, but at the same time she noticed out of the corner of her eye that her third uncle seemed to be worried.
She then put the stone aside and sat back down, stroking the growing stubble on Gu Qingming's chin. "Third Uncle? What did the old man ask you to do just now? Why do you look so grim when you come back?"
Gu Qingming pinched Li Xiujun's slender waist and said, "The company is planning to replace a batch of equipment, but the tax rate is extremely high. If we don't make a profit in three years, it will be a heavy blow to the company."
