Xie Duzhong agreed. With his help, he walked past him and carefully felt his way over.
The three sisters, Xie Peilan, Li Yulan, and Song Xue, looked at the two people in the air nervously. They were afraid that they would slip and get hurt.
Under everyone's gaze, Xie Duzhong slowly moved to the side of the Bodhisattva. He then slowly walked through the huge gap between the Bodhisattva stone and the mountain wall behind it. Finally, he stood beside the yellow flower.
Li Rui touched the Bodhisattva stone and asked, "Duzhong, is this a fairy child flower?"
Xie Duzhong said in surprise and joy, "It's a fairy child flower! That's great. I didn't expect there to be such a flower in the scenic area. If I had known, I would have come here long ago! "
Li Rui laughed and said, "It's good that it's a fairy child flower! Quickly pick it and go down. It's too dangerous up here. "
Xie Duzhong took out his shovel and dug out the fairy child flower from the gap in the mud on the mountain wall. He put it in a plastic bag and threw it to Xie Peilan.
Li Rui noticed that Xie Duzhong put the mud in the bag and asked, "Are you planning to take it back and raise it?"
Xie Duzhong said with a smile, "Of course. My sister and I want to see if we can cultivate this flower artificially. It's too rare in the wild. We can see one here, but we don't know where the next one is."
The two went back the way they came and went down to the ground. They continued walking for another three kilometers until they reached the highest peak of the scenic area. However, they still didn't find a second fairy child flower. At this time, the five women were exhausted. Li Rui and Xie Duzhong discussed for a while and decided not to go forward.
Everyone rested at the highest peak for a while and returned along the way. However, on the mountain wall more than a hundred meters away from Turning Back Bodhisattva, they found another Fairy Child Flower. This Fairy Child Flower grew behind a pine tree and faced the way back, so they couldn't see it when they came in.
This time, Li Rui and Xie Duzhong climbed up at the same time and dug out the fairy child flower.
"We only found two. Is it enough?"
Li Rui asked the Xie siblings as they walked out of the entrance.
Xie Pei Lan smiled bitterly, "Two stalks are definitely not enough. We'll bring back these two stalks and see if we can cultivate them artificially."
Li Rui said, "I have an idea. You can take a picture of the Fairy Child Flower and send it to Secretary Li. She can use it as a sample and find someone to help you buy it. Since there are Fairy Child Flowers in the scenic area, there must be some in the nearby mountains as well. You can set a price, roughly how much you want to buy one. Then, you can ask those who often go up the mountain, such as the shepherds and road builders, to help you look out. If they see a Fairy Child Flower, they can help you dig it up.
Without waiting for his sister to speak, Xie Duzhong nodded and said, "That's a good idea. This way, we can solve the problem of quantity."
Xie Peilan thought for a moment and said to Li Yulan, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Secretary Li. I think if we set the price at 100 yuan each, someone will dig them up and sell them to us, right?"
Li Yulan smiled and said, "100 yuan for one stalk is already very expensive. I believe that as long as people get the news, they will be willing to go up the mountain to look for this flower. In a few days, we should have a small climax of people going up the mountain to look for this flower!"
After taking a few clear pictures of the Fairy Child Flower, everyone said goodbye to Li Yulan and drove back to the city.
Back in the city, Li Rui said goodbye to Xie Peilan first. She had to go back to Huangzhou immediately. Xie Duzhong continued to stay in Qingyang City and was intimate with Song Xiuxiu. His relationship with Song Xiuxiu was very stable and they were talking about marriage. It was estimated that in another month, they would be able to attend their wedding.
Li Rui then sent Song Xue and his two goddaughters home. Then, he went home to accompany Qingman. On the way, he received a call from Guan Weiwei, saying that the driver of the Mitsubishi Hyatt had been arrested and was temporarily detained at the traffic police station. Guan Weiwei asked him how he was going to deal with that guy.
Li Rui didn't have any plans for the time being and asked Guan Weiwei to wait for his call.
The next day, it was Sunday. Li Rui accompanied his boss, Song Chaoyang, to the Municipal Party Committee to work overtime as usual. Not long after he sat down in the office, he received a call from Bai Shanshan.
Bai Shanshan said in a fierce tone, "Where are you? Come out! "
Li Rui smiled and said, "What? Are you here to pay for it? "
Bai Shanshan sneered and said, "That's right, I'm here to pay for it. Where are you? Come out quickly and remember to bring my ID card!"
Li Rui smiled and said, "I'm at the Municipal Party Committee."
Bai Shanshan was very surprised. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and asked, "What are you doing at the Municipal Party Committee?"
Li Rui smiled and said, "Can't I come over to do something? What is it? Do you think that I can't come as an outsider because it's your unit? "
Bai Shanshan snorted and said, "Hurry up and take my ID card. Wait for me at the intersection west of the Municipal Party Committee's entrance. I'll be there right away."
Li Rui knew that she was avoiding what was close at hand for what was far away. She was probably afraid that they would quarrel at the entrance of the unit and the situation would not look good. He said, "Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes."
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui called Guan Weiwei and asked him to send someone to escort the driver of the Mitsubishi Hyatt that had been detained at the traffic police's compound yesterday to the meeting place that Bai Shanshan had mentioned.
After making the arrangements, Li Rui went into the inner room to ask for leave from Song Chaoyang. It was easy to get such a short leave.
Fifteen minutes later, Li Rui received a call from the traffic police who had detained the driver. After confirming that they had arrived, he slowly walked to the meeting place. Before this, he had already received two calls from Bai Shanshan to urge him, but he ignored them both.
When he arrived at the intersection, Li Rui saw a police car parked at the side of the road. Bai Shanshan was standing on the sidewalk next to the curb. Beside her were two burly young men who were looking at him fiercely with Bai Shanshan.
Li Rui smiled when he saw this. He ignored them and walked to the driver's seat of the police car. He knocked on the window and called for the traffic police sitting in the driver's seat to come out.
The traffic police had already received Guan Weiwei's instructions. He respectfully shook Li Rui's hand and greeted him. Then, he called out the driver who was handcuffed in the back seat.
Li Rui glanced at the driver and saw that he was a young man in his early twenties. His hair and clothes were very fashionable, and he had a frivolous look on his face. Young people like this had just entered society. In order to attract attention, to show off their skills, and to please the crowd, they would often do things that would disrupt the public order of society. For example, they would buy a broken car, modify it, and drive it around the city to show off their driving skills. However, in the eyes of mature people, this kind of behavior was very laughable.
Bai Shanshan, who was next to Li Rui, saw that he was talking to the traffic police first, and then a young man in handcuffs suddenly appeared. It was very strange. She did not know what he was doing.
At this moment, Li Rui waved at her and motioned for her to come over and talk to him.
Bai Shanshan walked in front of him in a daze. She looked at him, and then at the traffic police. She did not know what to do.
Li Rui stretched out his finger and pointed at the two burly young men behind her. He smiled and said, "Did you find someone to beat me up?"
Bai Shanshan was somewhat embarrassed that he had seen through her. Her face flushed red, and she said hesitantly, "No, I'm not. I'm a civilized person. I was afraid that you would continue to cheat, so I called someone to protect my … my legal rights. "
Li Rui smiled and said, "If you want to beat me up, I won't help you."
Bai Shanshan asked curiously, "You'll help me? What do you mean? "
Li Rui did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, "How much will it cost to have your car assessed at 4S?"
When Bai Shanshan heard this, she was filled with anger. She said angrily, "My fourth son is so greedy. He just asked me for twenty thousand yuan. I called the insurance company, and the salesperson asked me to find an accident scene and imitate the scene of a car crash so that they can pay me according to the normal procedures. I haven't found the scene yet. "
Li Rui smiled and turned to the young driver. He said, "Did you hear that? Just because you suddenly increased the speed and braked, this lady wants to repair her car. Just the repair alone costs twenty thousand yuan. What about the compensation for emotional distress and lost time at work? "
The young man did not realize his mistake. He looked indifferent, as if he was saying, "She couldn't stop the car, so why are you blaming me?"
Li Rui said, "How about this? I'll make the decision. You pay her thirty thousand yuan, twenty thousand yuan for the repair, and ten thousand yuan for emotional distress and lost time at work. What do you think? Any questions? " “
The young man looked at him in disbelief and muttered, "Why don't you go rob a bank? Twenty thousand yuan for the repair is reasonable, but the compensation for emotional distress and lost time at work is too expensive. What emotional distress does she have? And it's only been a day, and it's even a Saturday. How can she miss work? "
Li Rui chuckled and did not answer. Instead, he raised his hand and slapped the young man on the back of his head.
The young man was very smart. He realized that if he did not listen, not only would he continue to be beaten, but he might also be sent to the police station. He said bitterly, "Thirty thousand yuan is fine. But where do I have that much money? I don't have money. "
Li Rui smiled and said, "If you don't have money, then why are you driving? Since you have a car, it means that you have money. If you really don't have money, then it's okay. I'll sell your car. Your broken car can be sold for at least thirty thousand yuan, right? Of course, if you don't want to sell your car, it's okay too. You can just wait for a lawsuit. Also, I'll ask your parents to compensate you. Think about it. "
His words were equivalent to blocking all the young man's escape routes. The young man had no way out. He could only nod and agree with hatred. "Okay, I'll compensate, okay?"
Li Rui said to him, "Oh right, there's still my car. My car was rear-ended by her Toyota Ruizhi. It's also damaged. It'll cost ten thousand yuan to repaint it, so you have to compensate me ten thousand yuan too."
