Before leaving, Hu Xiaokang held Li Rui's hand and said eagerly, "Brother, you're such a good friend. I've never seen such a good person like you. Since you're so kind, as your brother, I can't not take care of your family. How about this, Old Dog Song and the others also got a small portion. I'll wait for them to hand it all in and then return the portion they handed in to your cousin. After all, those treasures were dug out from under your family's old house. If I don't leave some for you, it won't be good enough. "
Li Rui didn't refuse and said with a smile, "Then I'll thank Brother Hu for your kindness on behalf of my brother and the others. But you don't have to give all of it. My good friends in the institute have to be taken care of. Please take care of them, Brother Hu."
Hu Xiaokang patted his hand and said softly, "Brother, you can rest assured about this. There's still a large amount of fine. I guarantee that everyone in the institute will benefit from it. Haha."
After the two said goodbye, Li Rui said goodbye to Tanyang.
Tanyang said with a face full of shame, "Aiya, brother, I didn't help you much, but I received such a big benefit from you. I'm really ashamed. How about this, I'll set up a banquet for you some other day. We'll have a good drink together. After that, we'll find a place to have fun. You must agree."
Li Rui said with a smile, "Of course, I agree. I can't wait to get closer to you, brother. It's just that my time is not fixed. I might not be able to be there when you call me. Haha, don't mind it then …"
After the two said some polite words, Li Rui got on the car and returned to the city. Hu Xiaokang and Tanyang watched him leave.
When the BMW's shadow was out of sight, Hu Xiaokang gave Tanyang a look. The two sneaked into Hu Xiaokang's car.
Hu Xiaokang opened the cloth bag in front of Tanyang and saw three gold bars and five silver ingots. They were dazzling and dazzling.
Tanyang gasped and cried out in surprise, "Hiss … Brother Li, you're so generous!"
His share was larger than Hu Xiaokang's, and now that he saw the value of Hu Xiaokang's share, he could roughly estimate the value of his share, so he couldn't help but sigh.
Hu Xiaokang also nodded heavily. He knew very well that with Li Rui's power, he didn't need to give him and Tan Yang any benefits at all. He and Tan Yang had to curry favor with him to help him settle this matter. In the end, even if they didn't get a single cent, they would still be very happy to be able to befriend him. But he actually gave them such a big gift. Tsk tsk, his level of doing favors was really indescribable. As expected of the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, his way of doing things was really convincing. No one could find fault with him at all.
He didn't even look at the silver ingots. He casually picked up a gold bar, estimated its weight, calculated the current gold price, and then estimated the total price. Finally, he came up with a number and said, "My share is no less than 100,000 yuan."
Tanyang thought that if his small share was worth 100,000 yuan, then his share would be worth 200,000 yuan or more. He thought for a moment and said, "No, he's so generous. We can't be stingy. When we have time, I'll invite him out. Eating and drinking is a small matter. We can take the opportunity to show him that we're not stingy people."
Hu Xiaokang nodded and said, "We can also take the opportunity to make friends with him. In the officialdom, there aren't many people like him."
Speaking of which, Tanyang and Hu Xiaokang were both developing in the public security system. There wasn't much room for promotion, and they couldn't get help from Li Rui. However, in society, who wouldn't want to have more friends? Especially Li Rui, who was young, held a high position, and was popular in the city. Who wouldn't want to make friends with him? Even if they couldn't get any benefits from him, in the future, they could tell others that they were buddies of the Municipal Party Committee's First Secretary. That could also satisfy their vanity.
Of course, Li Rui didn't know about Tanyang's plan. At this moment, he was driving back on the road, thinking about his plans for the holiday. The May Day holiday only lasted for three days. He had already wasted one day, and there were only two days left … His plan was to go to Ji Xiaojia's wedding tomorrow morning to make a contribution. After the banquet, he would drive Qingman back to the provincial capital to accompany his grandfather, Lu Zhouxing. His grandfather would only be home at night anyway, so it was useless to go early. When he came back on Thursday, he would call Xu Da and go to the mountain temple in the northwest of his hometown to look for treasures. Of course, if he could call Gao Zixuan, he would also call her along. She would definitely like to join in the fun, so he could take the opportunity to get closer to her.
This was also the reason why he refused Tanyang and Hu Xiaokang's offer to share the treasures with him. He felt that he could find more treasures in the mountain temple. Otherwise, the person who hid the treasures wouldn't have painstakingly hidden another treasure map in the pottery jar. Since he was about to get more treasures, why should he stare at the little treasures in front of him?
After returning home, Li Rui told his plan to Qingman. Lu Qingman naturally supported him, but said worriedly, "We've been planning to find a wife for my father for a while, but we haven't found a suitable candidate. I'm really anxious." Li Rui comforted her, "Grandfather has a special status, so he has high expectations for a wife. We can only take our time to find one and try our luck. This kind of thing can't be rushed. It depends on fate. When the time comes, that person will naturally appear. " Lu Qingman nodded and said quietly, "A few days ago, I tried to ask my father to find a wife for him, but he flatly refused. He said that the next step was to wait for his grandson, so he didn't have the time or the mood to deal with other people. But even though he said so, we have to find a wife for him. After all, as children, there are many things that we can't take care of … "
Li Rui listened and nodded repeatedly, but he felt that this matter was not so easy to handle. His father, Li Jianmin, was a little pedantic, but he also cared about face. He felt that marrying a wife at such an old age would be a disgrace. He was old and shameless, so it would be difficult to persuade him. Alas, they could only take one step at a time.
When Li Jianmin returned home, Li Rui told him about rescuing Li Fugui and the others. When Li Jianmin heard that Li Fugui had handed over all the treasures that he had dug up, he sighed and said, "There is a saying passed down from generation to generation, that a person's fortune is destined. Now that I look at it, it's true. Fugui doesn't have the fortune. He can't even keep the treasures that he obtained."
Li Rui disagreed with this saying. It wasn't that Li Fugui didn't have the fortune, but that he didn't know how to be a good person. If he knew how to be a good person, he would have made all the connections he could, and at least half of the 800,000 yuan worth of treasures would have been in his hands. But in the end, he was greedy and only cared about making money, ignoring what others thought. In the end, he ended up with such a sad ending. Therefore, a person's fortune was related to luck and emotional intelligence.
Before going to bed, Lu Qingman called Gao Zixuan and told her that she would return to the provincial capital the next day. She also told her that Li Rui wanted to invite her to go on a treasure hunt together.
As expected, Gao Zixuan was very interested and asked her to pass the phone to Li Rui.
Li Rui answered the phone and laughed, "I knew you would be interested. Although you are already a billionaire and don't lack money, the fun of treasure hunting is what you lack." Gao Zixuan snorted and said, "Don't flatter me. I'm not a billionaire, and I really lack money. Let me tell you, the treasures that we find this time are all mine. You can't get a single cent. " Li Rui laughed and said, "Okay, but I'll ask a good friend to come with me. He doesn't lack money, but you should give him a share." Gao Zixuan said, "Don't talk nonsense. Let me ask you, is there really any treasure in that temple? If there isn't, I'll make a wasted trip. Let's see how I'll deal with you."
Li Rui said, "I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I'm very confident. Of course, you have to be mentally prepared to return empty-handed." Gao Zixuan said angrily, "Get lost! Let me tell you, it's best if there are treasures in that run-down temple. If you find them, they'll all belong to me. If there aren't any, even if you go to the flea market and buy a bunch of ingots for me, you still have to have them. If you don't, I'll strangle you. " Li Rui laughed and said, "Now that you mention it, I'm starting to regret inviting you. You're simply a female bandit." Gao Zixuan snorted and asked, "What time are you guys arriving at the provincial capital tomorrow? I'll treat you guys to a meal." Li Rui said, "I'm going to contribute to a friend's wedding tomorrow. After the banquet, I'll rush to the provincial capital. If you want to treat us to a meal, you can only go at night." Gao Zixuan said, "Then we'll talk about it when we arrive." Then she hung up the phone.
Li Rui laughed and said to Lu Qingman, "Zixuan is a female bandit. She said that all the treasures that we find are hers. She also said that if we can't find anything, then I'll go to the old goods market and buy a bunch of ingots for her to take away." Lu Qingman chuckled and said, "Who told you to call her along? Now you've found trouble for yourself, right? But she's just messing with you. "
The husband and wife chatted for a while. Seeing that it was late, they hugged each other and fell asleep.
The next morning, the husband and wife ate breakfast and packed their luggage. Li Rui guessed that Ji Xiaojia had already been picked up by the wedding procession at Shengjing Hotel. He then drove to Shengjing Hotel.
Li Rui parked the car in the parking lot in front of Shengjing Hotel's main entrance. He got out of the car, entered the hotel, and took the elevator to the VIP lounge. Ji Xiaojia's wedding was to be held in the VIP lounge.
After exiting the elevator lobby, Li Rui turned left and walked a dozen steps. He saw that there were two tables outside the VIP lounge. Four "accountants" were keeping accounts for the guests. He obediently walked over to write the accounts.
According to the custom in Qinyang City, common friends such as classmates or neighbors could only contribute one share, namely, they had to write the bill at the gate. Close friends and relatives had to contribute two shares, one was to write the bill at the gate and the other was to be handed to the bridegroom or the bride when they recognized their relatives at the wedding.
