Gao Zixuan said, "A conservative estimate is about right. Although there are a lot of gold ingots left from ancient times, they are still very rare in good condition. Some people like to collect these things. When I go back, I'll ask my friend who works at an auction company to help me deal with it. It will definitely sell for more than the original price. " Li Rui nodded carelessly and said, "Let's not talk about the auction price for now. Let's talk about its original value. It's worth 80,000 yuan. I'll give this gold ingot to that old man as a token of my gratitude. What do you think?"
Gao Zixuan looked at him with disdain, as if he was looking at a big spendthrift.
Lu Qingman said indifferently, "Sure, you have so many gold ingots anyway. It doesn't matter if you have one more or one less."
Gao Zixuan snorted and said, "You two are really a couple. Both of you are so silly and generous. You give away gold ingots worth more than 100,000 yuan as gifts just like that. If you ask me, it's enough for you to give him a silver ingot. If one isn't enough, give him two. If two isn't enough, give him five. That'll make him so happy. He doesn't know how many foxes he has to catch to make that much money. "
Xu Da smiled and interrupted, "There's no bargaining for this kind of thing. I think my brother's thinking is quite good. He's righteous, kind, and chivalrous. I've known so many people and made so many friends since I was a child, but I've never met someone as benevolent and righteous as my brother. "
Gao Zixuan sneered and said, "You're just flattering him!" After she finished speaking, she glanced at Li Rui, her beautiful eyes full of adoration and worship.
"I've made a fortune. I'll treat you tonight, haha!"
Li Rui said with a smile. Although he didn't think much of this money, he was still happy from the bottom of his heart.
Gao Zixuan said, "You should be treating! But before you go out to eat, pack up these gold, silver, and jewelry first. Find two bags and put them in. I'll take them tomorrow morning and sell them to you and your husband in the provincial capital. In the future, Sister Qingman, you'll be a rich woman. "
Lu Qingman laughed embarrassedly and said, "Don't laugh at me. How dare I call myself a rich woman in front of a big boss like you?"
While the two sisters were talking and laughing, Li Rui went downstairs alone. He found several large bags in the garage and went back upstairs to put all the treasures into the bags. Just as she finished, Old Master Li Jianmin came back.
Li Rui hurriedly whispered to Qingman, "I didn't tell Dad about these treasures. I'm afraid that if he knows that these treasures are together with the treasures in the old house, he will overthink. Don't tell him either." Lu Qingman was startled and whispered, "It's fine if we don't tell him, but we should at least give him some, right?" Li Rui said, "We'll talk about it when Zixuan helps us convert it back." Lu Qingman nodded.
Li Rui went out of the house and told Li Jianmin that they wouldn't be cooking tonight and that the whole family would go out for dinner. Li Jianmin saw that the couple wanted to invite Gao Zixuan and Xu Da to a banquet, so he naturally wouldn't go and cause trouble. He waved his hand and refused, saying that he would stay at home for dinner. Li Rui saw that he didn't agree and didn't force him.
At 6: 30 that night, Li Rui held a banquet at the Shengjing Hotel not far from home to celebrate the success of the treasure hunt. He also invited Xu Da and Gao Zixuan, the two heroes of the treasure hunt, to the banquet. Of course, Gao Zixuan couldn't be considered a hero. He didn't help much, but if it wasn't for a beautiful woman like her to liven up the atmosphere, the treasure hunt would have been a lot more boring. In that case, she still contributed a lot.
At the banquet, the two women sat together and drank soft drinks. Li Rui and Xu Da sat together and drank beer. They didn't disturb each other and were clearly separated. During the banquet, people talked and laughed. It was quite lively.
Halfway through the banquet, Lu Qingman suddenly leaned over to Li Rui with a strange smile on her face. She whispered, "Hey, what do you think about matchmaking Zixuan and Xu Da? They're a good match and they're about the same age. They're a good match. "
Li Rui had just finished arguing with Gao Zixuan and was still smiling. When he suddenly heard this, the smile on his face froze. He felt as if he had eaten a fly. He looked at Lu Qingman in disbelief and thought to himself, Wife, are you drunk? How can you get drunk from drinking soft drinks? How can you say something like that? Zixuan is my little wife. How can I matchmake my little wife with someone else? Even if they're biological brothers. He laughed and said, "What kind of joke is this …"
Lu Qingman said with a serious face, "I'm not joking. I'm being serious. Zixuan isn't young anymore. It's time for her to get married. "Li Rui whispered," But Xu Da doesn't have any feelings for her. "Lu Qingman asked curiously," How do you know? You've already asked Xu Da? "Li Rui smiled and said," I know even without asking. Xu Da already has someone in his heart. "Lu Qingman asked curiously," Who is it? "Li Rui said," It's a foreign girl. You wouldn't know her even if I told you. "
Lu Qingman was stunned. She turned to look at Xu Da. She couldn't believe that he would like a foreign girl. Xu Da's appearance was ordinary and his personality was decent. At first glance, he looked like a very traditional Chinese man. Who would dare to believe that he would like a foreign girl? In this day and age, although the country was opening up to the outside world, it was still very difficult for most people to accept marriage with a foreigner.
Gao Zixuan noticed the couple's small movements and said, "Hey, what are you two whispering about? Do you dare to say it for me to hear?" Lu Qingman quickly smiled and said, "Nothing much. I'm just asking Xiao Rui where to arrange for you to stay tonight." Gao Zixuan looked at Li Rui with a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "Your husband made such a big fortune. Why aren't you treating me to a five-star hotel? I'll stay in Shengjing tonight. Your husband will pay for it. "Lu Qingman smiled and said," No problem. I'll let him arrange it for you after dinner. "
Li Rui ignored the two women's conversation and was trying to find out Xu Da's feelings. "Your sister-in-law just told me that she wants to set you up with Zixuan. What do you think? Do you have any feelings for Zixuan?" Xu Da laughed out loud and looked at Lu Qingman in disbelief. He shook his head and said in a low voice, "I can't afford to marry a young lady like Zixuan. Tsk tsk, I can't afford to serve her." Li Rui was relieved when he heard this and asked with a smile, "Then what kind of woman do you want to marry?" Xu Da smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have any plans to get married at the moment." Li Rui whispered, "Are you still thinking about that American CIA agent, Elaine?" Xu Da laughed and clinked his glass with Li Rui's. "I didn't expect you to remember Elaine so clearly after I mentioned it to you once. You even remind me not to forget her from time to time …"
Li Rui laughed and clinked his glass with Li Rui's again. The two of them raised their glasses and drank. Li Rui took the wine bottle and filled both his and Li Rui's glasses.
Li Rui said, "It would be great if you had a picture of Elaine. Let me see her ten thousand different kinds of charm. I think that a woman who can captivate you must be a top beauty." Xu Da heard him say this and smiled proudly and shyly. "You don't have to look at pictures. You just have to imagine the female leads in the 007 movie series. Elaine's appearance is not inferior to any of the female leads." Li Rui was shocked and said with a smile, "Is that so? God, now that you mention it, I really want to see her in person. No wonder you're not interested in the domestic beauties. "
Xu Da smiled and shook his head. "It's not that I'm not interested. It's just that they're not my cup of tea. Also, I don't see Elaine as a wife candidate. Although she's the best in all aspects, she can only be a mistress. We can't live together. If I want to find a woman that I can live with, I want a woman like sister-in-law. She's beautiful and has a gentle and demure personality. She's the so-called good wife. "
Li Rui never thought that the conversation he started because of Qingman's words would end up back to Qingman. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Xu Da drank a mouthful of wine and sighed. "Actually, the main reason why I'm not considering a partner now is because I'm still young. I still have to go out to carry out missions. In our line of work, it's very dangerous. The slightest mistake can kill us. Therefore, I'm not considering marriage in the short term to avoid harming the other party. When I'm older and can't do field work anymore, I'll return to the country to do management and support work. It won't be too late to start a family then. "
Li Rui was stunned. He said with concern, "Brother, since it's so dangerous, let's not do this line of work. With your identity and wealth, you can do anything. Safety is the most important thing. You …"
Xu Da smiled and interrupted, "You don't know. Being in this line of work is like taking drugs. You can't stop. The powerful ability you have, the thrill of carrying out missions, the honor and pride of making contributions to the country … Everything makes you want to stop but you can't stop. I've been idle these days. Although my life is very fulfilling, it's actually very boring. To put it bluntly, I'm considered a national tool. A national tool can't do anything for the country. Instead, I'm living a drunken life. It's really boring … "As he spoke, his face showed a disappointed and dispirited expression. He raised his wine glass again.
Li Rui raised his glass and clinked it with his. He comforted him. "Don't worry. Didn't your leader reconsider using you? You'll have a chance to shine sooner or later. You should rest well now and experience the happiness and happiness of an ordinary person. When you get busy in the future, you won't have so much time to be an ordinary person. "
Xu Da nodded. The two of them drank their wine again.
After dinner, Li Rui took the two women downstairs to the reception desk to book a room for Gao Zixuan. Xu Da didn't sleep for the time being. Since she had nothing to do, she accompanied them downstairs.
After getting the room card, Li Rui turned around and handed it to Gao Zixuan. He secretly gave her a helpless look and said in his heart, "Little wife, little wife, I really want to go back to the room with you and tell you how much I miss you. Unfortunately, I can't. Your sister Qingman is next to me. I can't ditch her and go up with you alone. I can only wait until next time."
