Chapter 43 Fake Bracelet
As it turns out, this rose garden was the crux of the problem.
The cost of cultivating Yunnan red roses is too high, and the amount of labor required is also large. So, as early as 15 years ago, the Li family's rose garden quietly underwent a major change.
First, they changed a quarter of the rose varieties, and then used chemical products to replace the insufficient raw materials.
Then, this proportion gradually increased, to the point that the planting area of the traditional Yunnan red rose was squeezed to one-tenth of the entire flower field.
The output of rose petals remained the same, but the input was better, and the processing procedure was simpler. The entire production line was making a killing, but it was the workers who painstakingly cultivated the roses who suffered the most...
Each seedling represents their hard work, yet they are forced to follow the instructions of "headquarters" and continuously use catalytic ingredients, which not only reduces the quality of the petals but also damages the land.
This is the place they love and are proud of.
Finally, they couldn't take it anymore, so they gritted their teeth, escalated the situation, and organized a strike.
They thought it would make headquarters pay attention to the issue of rose varieties, but the media kept distorting the facts, and it eventually turned into them being dissatisfied with their salary.
The organizers were heartbroken and simply left the land they were protecting, while the others were pressured by the factory and forced to take leave.
After all, unless you truly understand roses, most people can't distinguish between good and bad roses at first glance when they look at a flower field.
It's just a patch of red flowers.
Su Pu kept comforting the deaf-mute worker and asked him to come forward as a witness.
He told the workers.
"My husband is the president of a group company. He's very capable and can definitely help you!"
The deaf-mute person was named Zhu Zhu. After much deliberation, I still couldn't trust her.
"But the previous leader only gave us money..."
Upon hearing this, Su Pu patted his shoulder.
“My husband is different. He is the best person in the world. He is a very sincere and kind person.”
After much deliberation, and considering the dwindling number of Yunnan red rose varieties, Zhu Zhu finally made up her mind...
...
For the next few days, Li Jichuan was busy with this matter.
No one expected that Li Jichuan, who originally came to quell public relations issues, would actually hold a court hearing on the spot.
On the day he received Zhu Zhu's testimony, Li Jichuan immediately called out the investigation team that had been waiting for him to examine every part of the entire production line.
The investigation revealed that not only the person in charge, but everyone involved was implicated.
He continued tracing back, firing several of the group's veterans, and eventually even Li Shuwen was summoned for questioning by the tax authorities.
However, his aunt was quite shrewd and managed to escape unscathed in the end.
However, it must be admitted that Li Jichuan's trip south this time was a great victory, and he has completely established himself in the group.
This also successfully shook Li Shuwen's faction.
Shareholders who had initially remained neutral seized the opportunity and joined Li Jichuan's camp.
He won this battle brilliantly.
After cleaning up the problems on the production line, regrouping the team, and changing the flower seeds,
The gardeners and workers, who had initially been disheartened, returned.
The original production line of the Li family, which inherited the hard work and efforts of two generations, was finally reborn in Li Jichuan's hands.
Li Jichuan finally lived up to his grandfather and parents' expectations; he protected them!
...
That very night, after everything was settled, Li Jichuan was dragged by his team to participate in the local "Flower Soul Festival".
The "Flower Soul Festival" takes place in late autumn each year and lasts for three nights, with bonfires lit each night to celebrate the end of the year's flowering season.
In late autumn, the spirit of the Flower Goddess returns to the Flower Palace to rest and recuperate, only to return in spring to bestow blessings upon the earth.
Anderson and John were both there that night, and they had a couple of drinks beforehand.
John, wailing and yelling, pushed Li Jichuan's wheelchair into the revelry, while Su Pu chased after him, shouting in vain.
If there is an afterlife, John will be reincarnated as a silly roe deer, and he wants to be a hunter!
How could she push her husband around like that? Who's going to be responsible if he gets hurt?!
Fortunately, the little mute boy was good at running and stopped them a second before the wheelchair rushed into the dance group.
Su Pu grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair and led Li Jichuan out.
John looked at him, shrugged speechlessly, and said, "I just want Lee to be happy."
Upon hearing this, Su Pu leaned down to look at the still-shaken expression on the person in the wheelchair, and then looked at John.
Where do you think he's happy?
John gave up, took Anderson's hand as they arrived, and mingled into the crowd of "left foot dancers".
Su Pu pushed her "lost and found" husband to the edge of the crowd.
Li Jichuan loosened his shirt collar and chuckled awkwardly, "John's a complete mess when he goes crazy, he almost..."
Su Pu patted his chest and said:
I'm here!
Nobody dares to do anything to you!
Li Jichuan bowed to him, "Then I'll leave it to you. John is a man who has no bottom line when he goes crazy."
Su Pu smiled.
I always thought John was kind of adorably transparent!
Are you hungry?
Su Pu showed Li Jichuan his phone screen and asked:
Have you had lunch yet?
Li Jichuan smiled.
That is definitely not the case.
Aside from the breakfast that Su Pu forced him to eat, he hasn't eaten anything else yet.
Su Pu wore a helpless expression that said, "I knew it," and pushed Li Jichuan to stroll through the night market.
That sight made Li Jichuan unable to suppress a smile.
Once upon a time, Su Pu was someone who had to be mindful of the servants' attitude even when taking a bath.
Now, she's even expressing her little temper towards him.
Li Jichuan's heart felt like it had been scratched by a cat—not painful, but unbearably itchy.
After all, after being gently scratched by a cat, the next step is to bury your whole face in the kitten's soft belly and take a couple of deep breaths.
This is only natural, but since the object of his affections has changed to Su Pu, Li Jichuan can only dream about it.
When will he be able to bury his face in Su Pu Cat's belly?!
The two strolled around the night market.
On the way there, Li Jichuan complained about the hygiene conditions, saying he had "no appetite".
But once he actually stepped into it, everything changed; everything could whet his appetite.
The snacks in southern Yunnan smell so good!
After eating until the very end, Li Jichuan brought out his second serving of Dai-style chicken feet, his eyes filled with enjoyment.
Su Pu also enjoyed the meal immensely, the aroma of the fresh flower cakes lingering on her lips and teeth.
“Lee!!!!”
John and Anderson finally squeezed through the crowd, found him, and each of them hoisted him onto one shoulder, insisting on dragging him to dance.
Li Jichuan was speechless, smelling the strong smell of alcohol on the two of them.
"Dancing with a cripple, you've got some nerve, Su Pu, Su Pu, save me—"
Su Pu naturally wanted to save him, but was pulled back by another group of people who presented him with a wreath and placed it on his head.
Those people were the disabled people newly recruited by the manor.
It was Su Pu's suggestion that gave them job opportunities, and they were all grateful to him.
Surrounded by them, Su Pu felt more and more that she was actually very useful.
Even for this one second, when the thought "I seem to be of some use" crossed his mind, there was no accompanying cold laughter.
It seems that a part of him is truly accepting himself.
Although he was a mute boy who had accomplished nothing, he used his own strength to make some people see the world and thus change their fate.
Su Pu was pulled along by them and began to dance in a twirl.
Even from a great distance, Li Jichuan's gaze remained fixed on his little mute.
After several days in southern Yunnan, Su Pu seemed to have become much more cheerful and confident.
Look how happy he is now... although the man who put the flower wreath on him is very suspicious. He looks decent enough and keeps smiling at Su Pu.
After the revelry, Li Jichuan was finally put back into his wheelchair.
Su Pu was still being pulled along by Zhu Zhu to talk.
"Is your husband really that rich?" Zhu Zhu asked.
Su Pu nodded proudly.
Of course!
He's the president of the Li Group!
The next second, Zhu Zhu frowned.
"But he's clearly so rich, why is he wearing a fake bracelet?"
Su Pu was stunned, her ears went blank, and all she could hear was the beating of her heart.
"A fake bracelet?"
Nonsense, that was clearly left to him by his mother for his lover!
How could it be fake?
"Southern Yunnan is rich in jadeite, and my maternal grandmother was in the jadeite business."
"That bracelet is obviously fake; there's no way it could be wrong."
Su Pu's breath hitched.
Is it fake?
It's obviously fake...
Why is Li Jichuan still wearing...?
Can't he see it?
