As Li Xiujun listened to Gu Qingming's worries, her expression gradually became a little dazed. The era they were living in was the late 1980s.
Just three years later, it would be the time point that Mr. Gu mentioned, 1992. The economy of the coastal areas was booming. At that time, there was even a rumor that you could pick up a few pieces of gold by stomping your feet in the coastal areas.
She really didn't expect that the Gu family had already been forward-thinking and started purchasing machines before this.
No wonder! She lowered her head and smiled. No wonder the Gu family could maintain its prosperity for so many years. It was because she was only immersed in her own world at that time and knew nothing about what was happening outside.
At this moment, she wanted Gu Qingming to be firm in his decision. She hugged his neck and stared at him with a sharp gaze. "In my opinion, this batch of machines can be bought. The current situation is developing so fast. If a few years pass, these machines will not be updated. But the price is uncertain..."
Once things on the market become popular, their prices will also rise. By then, foreign trade will be more stringent and taxes will be at least three times higher than they are now.
She didn't want Gu Qingming to miss such a good opportunity, so she added, "So, Third Uncle, you must purchase this batch of equipment. The future situation is like this, you must not miss it."
She was nervous when she spoke, and got closer to Gu Qingming. Her little face was chubby with a hint of blush, making her look more like a peach.
Gu Qingming couldn't help but take a bite and said jokingly, "I see you usually tinker with archaeological stuff, how come you are so talented in business?"
Li Xiujun was so anxious that she forgot to pretend. She looked embarrassed and said, "I have so many books on finance at home. I usually read them. Besides, I'm not stupid. Otherwise, how do you think I got into Peking University?"
"That's right."
Gu Qingming touched her nose lovingly, and the two leaned together, their breaths mixing together again.
The two chatted for a few words before Gu Qingming let go of Li Xiujun and went to the desk.
While Li Xiujun was speaking just now, he was thinking carefully at the same time.
What Li Xiujun said is not wrong. Practice is developing and they cannot stay where they are. Three years will be a long time. Who knows what will happen?
However, under the current policy, vigorous development is inevitable. In this case, as long as he purchases this batch of consumables, it will definitely be beneficial without any harm.
Gu Qingming has always been a strict person. Since he has made up his mind just now, there is no possibility for him to rest.
The night light gradually came on, he opened his notebook and began to calculate the money needed to purchase the equipment and its maintenance over the next three years.
Li Xiujun slowly sat down in front of him, and seeing his serious look, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She also took out her own stone and began to study it carefully.
Five hours passed and the sky gradually brightened. Li Xiujun moved slightly and found herself in a warm embrace.
It goes without saying that it was Gu Qingming who carried her to bed when she fell asleep last night.
Li Xiujun crawled over and also kissed Gu Qingming on the forehead. She hugged his cheek and felt warmth in her heart.
She was very grateful to God for allowing her to live a second life, find the person she loved, and have her own home from then on.
In the hospital, Mr. Gu and Mr. Li were playing chess.
The two brothers hadn't seen each other for years and had endless things to talk about. Especially Mr. Gu, he was more considerate and would mention Gu Qingming and Li Xiujun from time to time. "These two children have been very affectionate these past few days. Even an old man like me is envious of them."
"When I was young, I was even more capable than a mistress."
Mr. Li immediately laughed cheerfully. He put down the white chess piece and said, "With the way you looked back then, your mistress could never catch up with you."
"But speaking of it," Old Master Li began to feel troubled, "Xiao San hasn't had a girlfriend for many years, and now he's married Xiujun. They're both so young. If he loses control one day, then..."
The old man couldn't say the rest of the words.
Old Master Gu groaned and quickly waved his hands, "What are you talking about? Could Xiao San be so confused? Xiujun is still studying and can't have children."
"I'm not forcing them, why are you worried?"
With Mr. Gu's assurance, Mr. Li was not as worried as before. He was preparing to play chess, but he couldn't lift his arm at all.
Mr. Gu then discovered that the machine that had been monitoring Mr. Li suddenly started to make a loud noise.
He quickly stood up and said, "Brother, what's going on? I didn't stimulate you just now! Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Mr. Li's body was just numb just now. The machine monitored faster than he could and discovered something wrong earlier. By the time he realized something was wrong, his body started to tremble like a string, making him completely uncontrollable.
Mr. Gu was startled and immediately protected Mr. Li. Then he called the nurse, "Hurry up and get someone here."
The nurses and doctors all rushed in. Old Man Gu pushed his way through the crowd and asked, "What's going on? Wasn't everything fine before?"
The doctor didn't have time to answer and quickly performed artificial pacing on Mr. Li.
The nurse took Mr. Gu away and said, "Mr. Gu, the doctors are doing their best to help him. Please leave first. We are all professionals and will not let anyone get hurt."
Old Master Gu couldn't help but worry, but he was afraid of disturbing others while they were working, so he could only pace back and forth.
His assistant came running over and said, "Grandpa, the doctor said that Mr. Li's organs have suddenly failed and he must be sent to the ICU."
"What?"
What the assistant said was like a thunderbolt to Mr. Gu.
He endured the pain in his head and asked anxiously, "What should we do now? Can we get out after entering the ICU?"
The assistant gritted his teeth and shook his head. He then told Mr. Gu, "Mr. Li desperately told the doctor not to tell the Third Young Master's wife about this."
"Tsk." Old Master Gu was increasingly frustrated with his elder brother. He clapped his hands in panic, "Tell me about this."
"No." His head was dizzy again and again, and he had no choice but to sit down on a chair beside him.
At this moment, in the corridor of the hospital, Mr. Li was being quickly taken to the ICU by the doctor, avoiding his gaze.
This is the most advanced equipment in their hospital and is exclusively for VIPs. If it weren't for the Gu family's financial resources, Mr. Li would have passed away by now and would have no chance of survival.
