These words sounded like spring thunder in Lou Dong's ears.
Director Lou smiled bitterly. He was really confused. How could someone like Li Chu be short of money?
The things he owns cannot be bought with money.
He simply closed the box without saying a word and put it at his feet.
"Mr. Li, I am here to ask you for advice sincerely." This time, Director Lou's tone was much more sincere.
"Director Lou, I heard someone mentioned that you had funded the organization before liberation?" Li Chu asked seemingly casually.
"It's not about funding, I just did something within my ability."
"Director Lou, I want to ask you something. After the joint venture, will you privately have no management rights?"
Director Lou was confused by Li Chu's questioning, but he still nodded: "Yes, our private side only receives dividends now."
"Director Lou, why can't you understand why you can't continue to do the things you did before?"
Li Chu said with some hatred that iron cannot become steel.
Lou Dong was stunned for a long time before he realized what he meant.
Yes, I really got into trouble, losing money and eliminating disasters. Why didn't I think of such a simple thing?
But when I think about the little money I have saved through hard work for most of my life, my heart aches.
He needs to think carefully about whether to leave or stay.
"Thank you Mr. Li."
Li Chu smiled and waved his hand: "Dr. Lou, you'd better call me Dr. Li. I really can't afford to be called sir, and I didn't say anything, right?"
Lou Dong stood up and bowed to Li Chu.
Li Chu hurriedly stood up from the chair and stepped aside.
"Director Lou, what are you doing? If you do this again, I will have to see you off."
"Doctor Li, you don't need to send me off. I'll leave now and let Xiao'e chat with your wife for a while. She will go back to the courtyard later."
After speaking, Lou Dong turned around and prepared to leave.
"Director Lou, remember to take the things you brought." Li Chu stopped him, pointed to the box on the ground next to the table, opened the drawer of the desk, took out a small paper bag from it and handed it to Director Lou.
.
"I still have the last few pills of this medicine here, which I will give to you, Mr. Lou. The taboos are the same as before."
Mr. Lou took the medicine and looked deeply at Li Chu, then bent down and picked up the box and walked out of the study.
"Xiao'e, you can play here for a while longer, your mother and I will go back first to have something to do."
After seeing off Father Lou and Mother Lou, the two children who were sleeping in the bedroom just woke up, and Ding Qiunan and Lou Xiao'e went into the bedroom to chat.
Li Chu was sitting on the sofa in the living room thinking about what just happened.
In Lou's father's car, he has introduced the driver who used to drive him to work in the steel factory, and now he drives the car himself.
Lou's mother looked at the box placed under her feet and asked, "Old Lou, doesn't this Dr. Li accept gifts?"
Lou Dong shook his head with a solemn expression: "It's my fault. How could a person like him just accept other people's things casually?
But he did give me an idea, but I was a little hesitant."
Then Mr. Lou told Lou’s mother exactly what happened.
After hearing this, Lou’s mother was also undecided: “What do you think, Old Lou?”
Lou Dong shook his head: "Go back and think about it carefully. By the way, don't mention this matter to anyone. Remember, don't mention it to anyone."
In the afternoon, Lou Xiao'e finished her meal here and was sent back on foot by Li Chu and Ding Qiunan.
The young couple did not enter the yard. They watched Lou Xiao'e enter and walked back.
"Why is Xiao'e's father looking for you this afternoon? I think he brought a box and took it away again."
Li Chu thought about it and reported the matter to his wife in full.
"Will it be that serious?" Ding Qiunan asked in surprise.
"It will only be more serious than what I said. Wife, remember, don't mention what I told you to anyone again." Li Chu reminded Ding Qiunan seriously.
"Don't worry, I won't mention anything we talked about to anyone."
After a pause, Ding Qiunan asked again: "Li Chu, what do you think Xiao'e's father will choose?"
Li Chu shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know that. But what I know is that no matter which choice he makes, it will be very difficult."
Ding Qiunan did not continue to dwell on this topic. After all, it was someone else's business and had nothing to do with her. Even if Lou Xiao'e had a good relationship with her, she had no interest in getting involved in such a big matter.
As she walked back, she teased the babies in her arms. Although the two children could talk now, they couldn't speak many words clearly. This was the time for fun. She liked to tease them all day long when she had nothing to do.

Entering June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and internal medicine, oh no, now there is an independent nephrology department.
Together with the Department of Nephrology, we conducted a study on renal failure classification. The first phase has been completed, and the research report has been compiled and published in a medical journal affiliated with the Medical Association.
Taking this opportunity, recommended by Vice President Zhang, Li Chu has become a member of the Forty-Nine City Medical Association and is also the youngest member.
When he was about to get off work, Li Chuxian came to the nursery to pick up his children. When the two children saw him, they happily called daddy and threw themselves into his arms.
"Dad, I'm telling you, my brother is crying today." Wenhui hugged her father's little mouth and started babbling.
Li Chu stood up with the two children in his arms. After listening to his daughter's words, he looked at his son and asked, "Xuanxuan, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Before her brother could say anything, Wen Hui took over and said, "I know, I know. My brother lost his footing and fell when he was sliding on the slide. He sat on the ground and started crying."
Wenxuan's mouth was not as quick as his sister's, but his sister said it first, which made his face turn red with anxiety.
"Isn't it so Xuanxuan?"
This time Wen Hui did not rush to speak. Wen Xuan nodded and whispered: "Yes, Dad."
"Tell dad, does it hurt from the fall?"
At this point, Wenxuan started to cry again, and stretched out his little hand to show his father: "Dad, it hurts."
Li Chu took a look and saw that although his son's hands were not scratched, both palms were bright red.
He blew on his son's palm twice with his mouth: "It's okay, Xuanxuan, we are little men, we must be brave."
"Hui Hui, my brother fell down, what did you do?"
"I helped my brother up and patted him with dirt."
"Well, our Hui Hui is great. She knows how to take care of her younger brother." After saying that, he kissed Wen Hui's little face. Wen Hui, who had a stubble on his mouth, laughed and hid.
Li Chu turned around and kissed his son again: "Xuanxuan is a young man, so he must protect his sister from now on, okay?"
"Okay, Dad." There were still tears on Wenxuan's face, looking so pitiful.
Almost two years old, Wenxuan is still shyer and more delicate than Wenhui. Several times Wenhui accidentally fell down, but she would stand up and continue playing by clapping her hands.
