90: Brother, can you teach me martial arts?
Wu Chen and Li Ruobing woke up at the same time, and Wu Chen reached out and took the phone.
Caller ID: Gu Ruibo.
Li Ruobing glanced at the screen of her mobile phone and then at Wu Chen. Of course she knew about Gu Ruibo and Wu Chen went to Shanghai to make connections and let Gu Ruibo and Wu Yurong join forces to hunt for the peripheral assets of the Ding family. Wu Chen also told Li Ruobing.
So, at this time, Gu Ruibo suddenly called...
Wu Chen answered the phone.
“Hey, Boss Gu,” Wu Chen said.
“Mr. Wu, I didn’t disturb your rest, didn’t I?” Gu Ruibo said casually.
In fact, this was very strange, because it was already past nine o’clock in the morning, but Gu Ruibo said he was disturbing his rest. This meant that Gu Ruibo knew that Wu Chen had rested very late and might be sleeping now.
So... it was obviously Li Ruotai who called him.
Gu Ruibo was like a local snake in Shanghai. Brother Xiao Gu in Shanghai could be said to be well-known in the circle, and Li Ruotai and Gu Ruibo had a very good personal relationship.
Therefore, regarding the Tang family and Tang Xinbao, it was reasonable for Li Ruotai to communicate with Gu Ruibo and ask Gu Ruibo to help mediate or to inquire about the Tang family’s internal reaction.
“No, I’m about to get up,” Wu Chen said with a smile, and then asked, “Did A’tai call you?”
“Mr. Wu, you...” Gu Ruibo felt a little strange for a moment, paused and asked with a smile, “Ah, did A’tai tell you?”
“No, I guessed it.” Wu Chen smiled.
“Mr. Wu, you are really...” Gu Ruibo didn’t know what to say.
In fact, it was not unreasonable for Wu Chen to say it was a guess.
However, Gu Ruibo’s impression of Wu Chen was out of this world, and it was always related to the “unpredictable prophet”. Therefore, he would subconsciously think in that direction and feel that Wu Chen was very magical.
“A’tai told me. Mr. Wu, did you save Tang Xinbao yesterday? And then... it was A’tai’s men who beat him?” Gu Ruibo asked again.
“Yes.” Wu Chen smiled and said, “However, they are not considered to be A’tai’s subordinates. If he does not protect his people, he can get rid of the relationship.”
“That’s what I say, but A’tai has been operating in Donghai for so many years, what if... Sigh!” Gu Ruibo sighed before he finished speaking.
Wu Chen understood what he meant.
In fact, Wu Chen just said that.
Indeed, as long as Li Ruotai didn’t want to bail them out, he could get out, and the most they could pursue was Zhao Guaizi. However, if Li Ruotai didn’t bail them out and he watched Zhao Guaizi go to jail, the consequences would not only damage his face as Mr. Li of Donghai!
More importantly, the reputation, status and voice he worked hard for over the years in Donghai would be affected.
It would shake Li Ruotai’s foundation in Donghai.
What’s more, it might be exploited by others, and this matter would definitely spread, and the big family would hear about it. The Wei family was already messing with Li Ruotai, and it was impossible for them to fail to take action by then.
And because Tang Xinbao was not harmed after all, the consequences of handling this matter could be either big or small!
It depended on how they managed it!
“I will arrange this matter, it will be okay,” Wu Chen said to the mobile phone.
“Mr. Wu, as long as you say this, everything will be fine.” Gu Ruibo immediately smiled and sighed. “A’tai is really lucky to have a brother-in-law like you...” Gu Ruibo’s words were full of emotions.
With a “ding” sound, the elevator door next to the stairwell on the first floor suddenly opened, coming up from the lobby. Zhuang Xiaodie, wearing a blue skirt, walked out of the elevator carrying two large bags.
She went to buy groceries and just came back.
Wu Chen turned around and looked, then stood up and walked over, took the bag from Zhuang Xiaodie’s hand, and asked with a smile, “When did you get up?”
“Nine o’clock.” Zhuang Xiaodie said, very sweet to Wu Chen. chuckle.
“You woke up so early, have you slept enough?” Wu Chen asked again.
“It’s okay, I’m not sleepy.” Zhuang Xiaodie said.
The two walked and chatted for a while, then entered the kitchen together. Wu Chen put down the bag, and Zhuang Xiaodie put on an apron and started preparing to cook.
After Wu Chen put down his things, he kept looking at Zhuang Xiaodie.
Zhuang Xiaodie didn’t notice Wu Chen’s gaze.
Wu Chen kept looking at her for a long time, and finally said, “Actually, you don’t have to do this.”
“Huh?” Zhuang Xiaodie, who had just taken the big bone out of the bag, turned to look at Wu Chen, “What? Mr. Wu?”
“I said you don’t have to do this.” Wu Chen looked at Zhuang Xiaodie with a smile, “You are not a nanny.”
“No, it doesn’t matter. Anyway... this was nothing.” Zhuang Xiaodie looked a little unnatural.
“You...” Wu Chen sighed with a smile and said nothing.
Wu Chen understood that Zhuang Xiaodie wanted to perform well, so she went to buy groceries without even getting enough sleep, and immediately cooked when she came back, making lunch for everyone...
This stemmed from her inner inferiority.
She couldn’t compare with anyone, whether it’s Li Ruobing, Wu Yurong, Su Qingying or Mu Qianqian.
She was stressed.
This mentality obviously could not be changed through words alone, and Wu Chen also knew that nothing he says would be of much use.
But don’t worry too much.
Once she becomes a big star, had enough money, and had a high enough social status, she should be fine.
Ta-ta-ta...
There were footsteps outside the kitchen.
Someone came downstairs.
“You finish this first, Ruobing will come down soon,” Wu Chen said to Zhuang Xiaodie, signaling, and turned out of the kitchen.
In the lobby on the first floor, the one who just came off was Tang Xinbao, who still had a bruised nose, swollen face and scratches everywhere, but the injury would not affect his activities.
“Good morning, brother.” Tang Xinbao, who had just arrived at the sofa, greeted Wu Chen enthusiastically when he saw Wu Chen coming out of the kitchen.
“Morning.” Wu Chen smiled, and asked as he walked towards the sofa, “Are you dizzy?”
“No, I’m fine.” Tang Xinbao said and made a very strong gesture.
The two sat down and chatted for a bit more before Tang Xinbao suddenly stood up again.
“Brother, can you teach me martial arts? Can I take you as my teacher?” Tang Xinbao looked at Wu Chen eagerly.
