“I’m only here because of this girl.”
Huang Qishan looked at Lü Yunxu with doting eyes and said meaningfully, “I’ll go up and check on the patient’s condition first.”
“You two chat.”
With that, he left them and stepped into the elevator.
“Miss Lü, I owe Elder Huang this favor. Just tell me what you need.” Li Chonglou could tell that Huang Qishan had deliberately left them some private space.
Hearing this, Lü Yunxu’s pretty face flushed slightly. “Brother Li, there’s no hiding anything from you.”
“It’s still about that batch of fake Tian Bai glaze.”
“After you left yesterday, my father didn’t make trouble for the con man. Instead, he insisted on buying all of them.”
“He plans to publicly auction them at a charity auction to boost the company’s image.”
“I tried to dissuade him, but he wouldn’t listen. I’m worried something big will happen.”
Li Chonglou understood the reason with a slight shift of thought. “Your father is a successful businessman. Profit is in his nature.”
“Whether it’s real or fake doesn’t matter to him. What matters is whether there are benefits.”
“For fakes that even Elder Qin couldn’t identify, they are essentially real in the eyes of most people.”
“It’s just that he’s deliberately ignoring the chain reaction of this matter.”
How mysterious is fate.
Even if he intervened, it would still flow resolutely in its intended direction.
“So, I’ve come to ask for your help.”
Lü Yunxu looked anxious. “I was desperate and grabbed two bowls. I smashed one, and he took the rest.”
“Is there a way to preserve his and the company’s reputation at the auction, while also preventing him from selling these items?”
As she spoke, she took out a Tian Bai glaze porcelain bowl from her bag.
Li Chonglou thought for a moment and then nodded. “Of course, there’s a way.”
This matter was clearly more complicated than it appeared.
Lü Chenggong knowingly bought fakes and insisted on it. The only explanation was that his company was in trouble.
He needed to use these “props” to solve the problem.
To think that the richest man in Qin Province would use such a foolish method, it showed that the problem was already very serious.
But that had nothing to do with him.
As long as he found a way to resolve the hidden danger at the auction, he would owe Lü Yunxu a favor.
“When I have time, I’ll make an appraisal video.”
Seeing Lü Yunxu’s eyes wide open, Li Chonglou didn’t beat around the bush. “You can then post the video on your social media or show it directly to your father.”
“Let him know his plan has fallen through and he can’t exploit this loophole.”
“Great idea!” Lü Yunxu’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she was extremely impressed.
She had gone to Elder Qin first, and when Elder Qin couldn’t come up with a good idea, he suggested she find Li Chonglou.
She had approached it with a ‘last resort’ attitude, but she never expected Li Chonglou’s mind to work so quickly.
With a casual remark, he had solved the problem.
“Don’t celebrate too early. Your father’s intention for holding a charity auction was to boost the company’s image.”
Li Chonglou poured a bucket of cold water. “While the Tian Bai glaze issue can be resolved, it’s only a temporary fix.”
“But if you disrupt his plan and catch him off guard, the consequences are unpredictable.”
“Brother Li, what do you think we should do?” Lü Yunxu’s eyes widened slightly, and she asked for advice humbly.
She knew a little about the company’s affairs, and her father’s charity auction was for the company.
Li Chonglou had figured out so much based on just one meeting.
How terrifying!
“Before the auction, I’ll try my best to find the real items for you to replace the Tian Bai glaze.” Li Chonglou couldn’t think of a better solution at the moment.
It just so happened that he needed money, and Lü Yunxu needed help, so it was a win-win situation.
“With Brother Li’s word, I’m relieved!” Lü Yunxu was full of admiration.
She considered herself to have met all sorts of people since childhood and had a discerning eye.
However, she could never see through Li Chonglou.
His calm and steady demeanor, his innate confidence, and his imaginative way of thinking were not what one would expect from someone his age.
Coupled with his god-like appraisal skills.
What kind of person was he?
And why had he fallen to such a state that he couldn’t even come up with thirty thousand for his mother’s medical treatment?
This mystery was like an abyss, attracting her to explore it at all times.
“Help me with something too.”
Li Chonglou interrupted Lü Yunxu’s thoughts. “I have a master named Lin Zhendong. He’s at the Fourth Division of City Prison No. 1. I want to visit him this afternoon.”
“It’s a small matter, leave it to me!” Lü Yunxu readily agreed.
This little favor was nothing.
She immediately took out her phone and made a call.
She arranged for Li Chonglou to visit at 3 PM.
Then, she accompanied him to the ward.
Huang Qishan had finished his diagnosis and, after discussing with Li Chonglou, scheduled the surgery for the day after tomorrow.
He immediately convened a consultation of experts to study the surgical plan.
Lü Yunxu also bid farewell and left.
As soon as she left, Zheng Xiumei beckoned her son to sit beside her and asked with a strange look, “Son, what’s your relationship with that girl just now?”
“Friends.”
“Don’t lie to your mother. I’ve lived this long, and I can see certain things.”
Zheng Xiumei put on a stern face and whispered, “Her gaze towards you is not right.”
“Can a friend help you run around and invite Director Huang to see me?”
“Do you think I’m senile?”
“You’re already married. You must not do anything that betrays your family.”
Li Chonglou couldn’t help but laugh.
His mother was too sensitive. Rather than worrying about Jiang Yuxin, she was actually worried about him being taken advantage of.
He had to comfort her, “Mom, rest assured about your surgery. I won’t do anything to betray Jiang Yuxin.”
“Who else would you trust if not your own son?”
After much persuasion, he finally managed to calm his mother down.
At the same time, at the Emperor’s Court Club in Qin Province.
It was Jiang Tao’s turn to look displeased.
After hanging up the phone, he whispered into the ear of a middle-aged man in a Tang suit with a sinister gaze, “Brother Xu, Liu Zhiru said that Li Chonglou kid changed his mind and is stalling, not wanting a divorce.”
“He tore up the divorce agreement.”
“Should I send Jiang Yuxin’s father directly to jail and show him some colors?”
Hearing this, Xu Tianhou’s pupils contracted, and he cursed, “Idiot!”
“I want Jiang Yuxin, not her father in jail.”
“That good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law dared to ruin my plans. Can’t you handle him?”
“Brother Xu… but… Li Chonglou is at the hospital now. This can’t be rushed. Give me some time.” Jiang Tao’s face turned ashen from being scolded, but he dared not retort.
This matter, his plan was originally flawless.
Who knew that Li Chonglou, that bastard, would be as if divinely aided, exposing his scheme in public?
It caught him off guard, and he was even scolded fiercely by the old man.
Now Li Chonglou was at the hospital accompanying his sick mother and not at the Jiang family home.
“You’re also a piece of trash!”
Xu Tianhou’s gaze was sinister, and he said coldly, “I’ll have Jiang Yuxin’s father detained first.”
“No matter what method you use, get rid of that live-in son-in-law as soon as possible, or you’ll face the consequences.”
“I’m going to sleep with Jiang Yuxin!”
“You don’t need me to teach you what to do, do you?”
Jiang Tao’s forehead was covered in sweat. “Brother Xu, don’t worry. It won’t be long before I make that good-for-nothing kneel before me and beg for a divorce.”
After Xu Tianhou left, Jiang Tao made a phone call and summoned a woman wearing sunglasses, who was charming in her demeanor.
“Lili, I heard you were classmates with that good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law of our Jiang family, right?” Jiang Tao asked with a sinister smile.
“Li Chonglou?”
The woman looked disdainful. “When we were studying, he was a coward.”
“I have no dealings with him. Even saying one more word about him makes me sick.”
“Why are you mentioning him?”
“I need you to do something for me.” Jiang Tao put down his cup and sneered, “Help me ruin Li Chonglou’s reputation!”
“With your qualifications, it’s a piece of cake.”
“Young Master Jiang, although you’re my number one supporter, you can’t ask me to sell myself.” The woman pretended to be angry and pouted.
“Who said you have to go all out? As long as you find a way to catch him and send him to jail, you’ll be rewarded handsomely!” Jiang Tao’s eyes glinted with malice.
After saying that, he leaned close to the woman and whispered something.
