After leaving Deyuelou, Lao Bolun gave Li Jia a Green Shirt Hotel VIP card that is valid worldwide. With this card, one can enjoy unimaginable privileges at Green Shirt Hotels around the world. The room rates as low as 30% off are enough to drive people crazy, not to mention a whole host of VIP benefits that can be enjoyed without any reason.
Li Jia didn't refuse. Even if she refused, Old Bolun wouldn't agree. The message was clear, and there was nothing else for Li Jia to worry about. She casually put away the Green Shirt Hotel VIP card and watched Old Bolun's car drive away.
Old Bolun originally wanted to drive Li Jia home, but Li Jia smiled and shook her head. Old Bolun didn't insist and left the hotel in his car.
Li Jia hailed a taxi and returned to the dry cleaner. Cang Lang was sitting on the sofa with a well-dressed, serious-looking man talking to Meng Yao. "Mr. Li, this is a lawyer. He came specifically to talk to Ms. Meng about the Qian Shi Club. I couldn't get through to you on the phone, so I brought the lawyer here directly."
"Okay, it's alright. I was having dinner with a friend just now. How did it go? How far did the discussion go?" After saying that, Li Jia walked over and sat down next to Meng Yao, looking at the lawyer who was holding a large stack of documents and asked softly.
"There are basically no problems. All the legal procedures have been completed. The only thing left is to ask Ms. Meng to take over the Qianshi Photography Club in M City. I am here on behalf of Mr. Wu Xinfei before his death, and I would like to bring Ms. Meng a message."
"What did you say?" Li Jia asked calmly, looking at the lawyer's serious expression.
"I wish you happiness!" After saying this, the lawyer greeted Canglang, took the documents signed by Meng Yao, and left the dry cleaner. Meng Yao nodded somewhat blankly after hearing the lawyer's words, "I will."
Li Jia looked at Cang Lang and nodded to him. "Thank you."
"No need to be so polite, Mr. Li. Making things more amicable is much better than the other outcome, so please forgive me, Mr. Li." Canglang's words were loaded with meaning, which Li Jia understood perfectly. The man was already dead. There was no need to let the living continue to resent him; this was undoubtedly a win-win solution.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. It seems like Master Hong has some news about that gourd these past few days. If you have time, please contact Master Hong. I hope it will be helpful to you." After saying this, Canglang got up and left the dry cleaner's shop, leaving only Meng Yao, Li Jia, and Zhou Xiaoyu, who was still busy inside.
"Get ready. I'll go to M City with you tomorrow. It's the only thing your father left you, and you need to take over it yourself. It's a way of repaying your father's kindness." Li Jia said slowly, looking at the somewhat disappointed Meng Yao.
Meng Yao nodded, got up and went upstairs silently. She locked herself in her bedroom, holding a few sheets of materials left for her by the lawyer, and sat there blankly without saying a word.
Li Jia chatted with Zhou Xiaoyu downstairs for a few minutes, then went upstairs to get her car keys. She called Hong Guang's cell phone to inquire about the jade gourd. The information he provided on the phone made Li Jia's eyes light up, and she immediately drove to Pao Meigui (Pao Meigui's office) and ran straight to Hong Guang's office. "Where is it? Let me see it!"
As soon as they entered the room, Li Jia spoke. Hong Guang immediately rotated the crystal monitor on the table. "Instructor, this is a clue I just found. The only craftsman who can make jade gourds of this shape is a craftsman named Sang Dashui in Sangjiadian, a suburb. These pictures are of gourds that Sang Dashui made when he was young. Each one is a different shape, but Mr. Sang said that he seemed to have some impression of the kind of combined gourd that Instructor is looking for. Unfortunately, Mr. Sang suffers from intermittent Alzheimer's disease, and his speech is sometimes clear and sometimes unclear. We had no choice but to take pictures of the gourds he kept and bring them back. We hope they can be of some help to you, Instructor."
"Where is Mr. Sang now?" Li Jia looked at the gourd on the computer screen, eager to meet the old man.
“The old gentleman is in Sangjiadian Town, running around all day by himself. I left someone there. If the instructor wants to see him, I’ll have someone bring him back immediately.” Hong Guang finished speaking and picked up the phone on the table. “Bring Mr. Sang back to City B as soon as possible. I want to see him. Yes, the sooner the better.”
“Sangjiadian is five hours away from here. Instructor, would you like to wait here for a while and find two people to relax?” Hong Guang suggested cautiously, looking into Li Jia’s eyes.
"Hehe! No need to be so nervous. But there's no need to wait. I'll head back first. Call me when Mr. Sang arrives and give him a good welcome." After saying that, Li Jia left Hong Guang's office. She paused at the door, thought about Hong Guang's behavior just now, and couldn't help but feel amused. Then she shook her head and walked into the elevator.
"Even Hong Guang is making fun of me now. It seems I'm doing a good job of integrating into this ordinary life." With a sigh, Li Jia started the car. She hadn't gone far when her phone rang. "Instructor, Mr. Sang has fainted and is now in the town's hospital. What do you think...?"
"Send a car immediately to bring Mr. Sang to the city and arrange for him to go to the best hospital. He can't afford any mishaps. That's it. Let me know when you have any news." Li Jia's initially relaxed mood suddenly turned sour. After hanging up the phone, she gradually slowed down her driving and casually opened the car window. A cool breeze blew into the car, quickly restoring Li Jia's calm and peaceful mood.
Since fate wanted to test his patience further, he decided to wait patiently. Soon, Li Jia returned to the dry cleaner. Before he even entered, Meng Yao came out with a small travel bag. "Leaving now?"
