Ignoring the angry curses from the family, Li Xinghe left the restaurant, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that the air became fresh.
What he wants to do most at this moment is to hug his parents and tell them that they have worked hard.
He took a taxi and went straight home. His mother, Zheng Lan, was doing farm work. There was also a lot of handicrafts piled up at home. When he saw his mother, who was sweating and panting, Li Xinghe held back tears.
"Mom, I miss you so much!"
"Son, what's going on?"
Zheng Lan was confused. Could it be that she was angry outside?
"Did you quarrel with Xia Xuan again?" Zheng Lan persuaded her earnestly: "It's normal for young lovers to quarrel. Xinghe, you are a man. You should give in to Xia Xuan more often. You are both engaged, but we will have to fight in the future."
For a lifetime."
"Mom, I broke up with that vicious woman."
Zheng Lan was stunned, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief. She was from here, how could she not see clearly? Just because Li Xinghe liked it, the parents could only compromise.
"It's fine if we divide it up." Zheng Lan said quietly, "But the gift..."
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely get back the 200,000 yuan gift."
"Hey... If I really don't come back, forget it. I just want to teach you a lesson."
His parents could bear it, but Li Xinghe couldn't. The misery of his previous life made him unable to swallow this breath no matter what, and he had already thought of a good way to get back the bride price.
"By the way, where is my dad?"
"He went to the factory to ask the leader for an advance on his salary, saying he would keep it for your wedding."
"No!" Li Xinghe's expression suddenly changed and he hurried out, "Mom, I'm going to find my dad!"
The largest local freight company is also where Li Kangming works.
"Salary advance? Lao Li, do you think I am a cash machine?"
Zhao Gang, general manager of the freight company, leaned comfortably on the boss's chair with a cigar in his mouth and looked coldly at Li Kangming who was standing in front of his desk.
"Boss, my son is getting married and needs money urgently. I have no choice but to..."
Li Kangming kept a smile on his face in a condescending manner. He had never been so groveling in his life, and he could only endure it for the sake of his son.
"Boss, don't worry, I will do my job well! You can work overtime at night."
"Isn't that what you should do to work overtime?" Zhao Gang said coldly: "At your age, if I can take you in, it's already a great kindness."
"boss……"
"Okay!" Zhao Gang said displeasedly: "It's impossible to advance salary, so hurry up and leave!"
"But I really need this money..."
"Li Kangming, if you keep talking nonsense, pack up and leave immediately!"
"I'm afraid you are the one who has to leave!"
Suddenly, the office door was opened and Li Xinghe hurried in.
Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "Who are you?"
"Xinghe." Li Kangming hurriedly stepped forward, "What are you doing here?"
"What are you two doing?" Zhao Gang said angrily.
"I advise you to leave here immediately, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster."
Li Xinghe was very calm. He had come here to look for his father at this time in his previous life, but he arrived a little late. When he arrived, the office was in a mess. Zhao Gang was beaten by a group of people and was hospitalized with a concussion. His father was also implicated and injured.
Later, it was learned that Zhao Gang had offended a local snake, which led to disaster.
Although he didn't like Zhao Gang, Li Xinghe decided to help him for the sake of keeping his father's job for many years.
"You cursed me?" Zhao Gang didn't believe it and became even more angry.
"It's true. If you don't believe it, just take a look!"
Li Xinghe looked at the gate through the window. Several strong men in black vests had quietly entered and headed straight for the office building.
Zhao Gang's expression changed, he knew one of them, he was the subordinate of the local snake.
"I go!"
Zhao Gang panicked and was about to run out. Li Xinghe grabbed him and pointed to the toilet and said, "Go there! I will find a way to take them away."
Without caring too much, Zhao Gang hurriedly got into the toilet.
Not long after, those strong men opened the door and walked in aggressively. The leader was a young man with dyed red hair.
"Where is Zhao Gang's turtle grandson?"
"The secretary said he went home."
While answering, Li Xinghe couldn't help being stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Ma Yong? Is that you?"
The man was stunned for a moment and looked intently, "Li Xinghe?"
The man named Ma Yong was Li Xinghe's childhood friend and they had a close relationship. A few years ago, they said they were going to a big city and never came back. The two of them lost contact since then. They didn't expect to meet here today.
"Is your kid in Qingbei?" Li Xinghe stepped forward happily, but was coldly pushed away by Ma Yong.
"It's so close!" Ma Yong looked at the younger brother behind him and said proudly: "I'm here to do business, what are you doing here? Is Zhao Gang really not here?"
Li Xinghe was a little disappointed and said, "Well, we're here to ask for money. That bastard is really hateful. He didn't pay us the money he owed us..."
Ma Yong asked his younger brother to search, and he quietly handed Li Xinghe a business card. After searching to no avail, Ma Yong took the people away.
Zhao Gang, who escaped the disaster, carefully came out of the toilet, grabbed Li Xinghe's hand and said gratefully: "Young man, thank you! Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would..."
"The person you should thank is my dad!"
If Li Kangming wasn't here, Li Xinghe wouldn't be meddling in such nosy matters.
"Oh! Lao Li, you really have a good son!" Zhao Gang pulled Li Kangming and said with emotion: "Isn't it just an advance salary? I approved this."
"unnecessary."
Li Xinghe refused directly, "Also, please help my dad handle his resignation!"
Thinking of his father's death in a car accident in his previous life, Li Xinghe felt sad, so resigning was the safest way.
"Xinghe, what are you..." Li Kangming was puzzled.
"Dad, I will explain it to you when we get back."
Seeing Li Xinghe's firm attitude, Li Kangming said no more.
"Hey, Lao Li, just now...I'm sorry! What I said was a bit unpleasant."
Accustomed to Zhao Gang's condescending attitude, Li Kangming was overwhelmed by this apology.
In fact, Zhao Gang did this out of selfishness. Li Xinghe knew in advance that someone was going to cause trouble for him. Could it be that he was an acquaintance with a local snake? This matter had to be resolved, and maybe he could be asked to mediate.
"Okay, Dad, let's go!"
"Eh!"
Zhao Gang was about to stop him, but Li Xinghe suddenly stopped and looked up at the cabinet inside. There were many artistic decorations on it, and one of the pieces of amber caught his attention.
If I remember correctly, Zhao Gang was very lucky in his previous life. He was about to go bankrupt, but he turned around again because of a piece of raw blood amber he picked up and sold it for a high price of one million.
Because he was his father's boss, Li Xinghe paid special attention to the news at that time and looked at the photo of Xue Amber, which was exactly the same as the one in front of him.
"This amber..."
"I picked this up when I took my son out to play, and I just put it here."
Sure enough, I picked it up!
Li Xinghe suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart and said calmly: "Mr. Zhao, are you selling this amber?"
Zhao Gang is very shrewd and can make plans in the blink of an eye.
"Brother, do you like it?"
"Well, I want to buy it."
"Haha... Brother, save my life. It would be too much to say that I would buy it." Zhao Gang waved his hand and said, "This amber is for you."
"How embarrassing." Li Xinghe said: "Mr. Zhao, please make an offer! I'll buy it!"
Li Kangming was puzzled and stopped him: "Xinghe, why did you buy this?"
"Dad, I think this looks pretty, so I bought it as a gift to my boss."
Seeing Li Xinghe's persistence, Zhao Gang rolled his eyes and said cheerfully: "That's one hundred."
Anyway, I picked it up, not only can I sell it for money, but I can also earn some favors, so why not do it?
"make a deal."
After giving the money, Li Xinghe carefully held the blood amber in his arms and said, "Mr. Zhao, can you issue a receipt for this transaction?"
Zhao Gang smiled evilly, winked and said, "I understand, I'll give it to you."
The receipt was opened with a swipe of a pen, and Zhao Gang added an extra zero in a self-righteous manner, "Here! Don't worry, just take it for reimbursement!"
"Well……"
Blood amber worth one million yuan was sold for 100 yuan, and a receipt for 1,000 yuan was specially issued to give it away. No matter how you think about it, it feels like someone is selling it and helping people count the money.
I really don’t know what Zhao Gang’s expression would be like if he found out later. Li Xinghe found it funny just thinking about it.
