Chapter 198 Rejection, Wu Jing comes again
After drinking tea for more than half an hour, the two of them had almost finished talking.
After all, they haven't seen each other for a long time, and they haven't had much contact in the meantime. No matter how deep Du Ruo's friendship with Du Junyou was, it has almost faded.
"Let's eat here later. It's a good opportunity to try Yuanyuan's cooking skills."
When the topic was almost over, Du Ruo made an invitation. At this time, if the other party had something important to say, he should say it. Of course, if he had nothing to do, he should also say goodbye.
Of course, it doesn't matter if the other party stays for dinner. Du Ruo will naturally treat them to good wine and food and will never neglect them.
"this?"
Du Junyou did not agree immediately, but just looked at Li Yu beside him. It was obvious that he was very clear about his position.
"There's no need to eat, we still have to go back to our military friend's house later."
Li Yu at the side spoke and put down the teacup in her hand. She had been observing Xiang Yuanyuan and wanted to wait for Xiang Yuanyuan to leave before discussing business.
However, seeing that Du Ruo had no intention of letting Xiang Yuanyuan leave, he stopped waiting and started to talk about the main reason for coming here today.
"It's like this. I have a client who needs to go abroad, but it's a bit chaotic over there, and he has some competitors there, so he wants to find a bodyguard to protect him. I wonder if Master Du is interested in going abroad.
The client is engaged in the trade of medicinal materials and has a wide range of channels. If Master Du is willing to sell, in addition to generous rewards, he can also collect various very precious medicinal materials. "
After Li Yu finished speaking, he saw that Du Ruo's face was calm and he had no intention of changing his mind, so he quickly added:
"Master Du only needs to ensure the safety of his employer. It will take about 20 days. If there is any danger during this period, he will return home as soon as possible. As long as the employer is safe, the remuneration will be paid. In addition to the medicinal materials, the remuneration also includes 3 million in cash. The total value is about 5 million."
"No, it's too much trouble. I haven't had much interest lately."
Du Ruo felt Xiang Yuanyuan's somewhat nervous gaze and simply shook his head to refuse.
If he had not confirmed his relationship with Xiang Yuanyuan, he would definitely be moved, but now, there is no need for that.
Aren't medicinal herbs used to nourish the body? Now that we have the relationship with Xiang Yuanyuan, as long as the demands for medicinal wine are not too excessive, the Xiang family can basically provide it unconditionally.
Even after the two of them get married, the Xiang family is willing to open up all the medicinal liquors belonging to Xiang Yuanzhang's lineage to Du Ruo. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she can drink as much as she wants.
These were the promises Xiang Yuanzhang made to Du Ruo when he taught Du Ruo the knowledge about medicinal wine.
As for the three million, although Du Ruo was short of money and this price was definitely high for hiring a bodyguard, it would take too long.
Xiang Yuanyuan, who was standing by, heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Du Ruo's answer, and her tense mood also eased.
"Okay, I understand. We won't bother you any more. Come visit me next time. I'll definitely have to taste Sister Yuanyuan's cooking."
Although Li Yu was a little disappointed, she was a smart woman. Seeing that Du Ruo was determined to refuse, she stopped persuading him and stood up to say goodbye and leave.
"Take these, some specialties from my hometown, take them back and try them."
Xiang Yuanyuan, who was standing by, quickly took out a few bags from the room and handed them to Li Yu as a return gift.
"Okay, thank you, sister. Remember to look for me when you go to the Magic City next time. I will take you around then."
Li Yu did not refuse and reached out to take it. Du Junyou on the side took the thing from Li Yu, and then the two of them walked out of the yard.
"Haha, Master Du, do you have guests here? I wonder if it has caused you any trouble."
Just as Li Yu and Du Junyou walked out of the yard, a burst of hearty laughter was heard.
Wu Jing came down from the nanny car with several bottles of Moutai in his hands, and spoke loudly from a distance.
Wu Jing came alone today, wearing a baseball cap and dressed quite simply. Without his celebrity halo, he would look like an ordinary person.
"What's the trouble, military friend? I have guests over here, so I won't send you off. We'll meet again another day."
Du Ruo first replied, and then bowed to Du Junyou.
"Oh, okay, you're busy."
Du Junyou and Li Yu looked at Wu Jing carefully, and Wu Jing also saw the two of them. Knowing that they were Du Ruo's friends, he smiled and nodded, then passed by them and was welcomed into the yard by Du Ruo.
Du Junyou and Li Yu had already gotten into the car, but they still couldn't help but open the door and look at Wu Jing who had already entered the room, even though they couldn't even see his back at this time.
"Was that Wu Jing just now?"
"Is that Wu Jing?"
Du Junyou and Li Yu asked the question at the same time, then looked at each other, and shock was seen in both of their eyes.
Although they were just wondering, they actually already had the answer in their hearts.
Du Junyou looked at the yard with a complicated expression, and then started the car, with complicated thoughts in his mind. Li Yu also had more guesses in his mind, and seemed to understand why Du Ruo refused so straightforwardly.
"It seems that Du Ruo is not short of money now. I didn't expect that he also knows a big star like Wu Jing. It seems that the reward is not enough. Alas, it seems that the connection with the King of Medicinal Materials is unavailable. However, the higher the position of Du Ruo, the better. This way, I can get more."
Li Yu was thinking in his mind, but he was flipping through his phone and started looking through the useful information.
As for why she is so enthusiastic, it is of course for the benefit.
Yang Guangzhou from Guangdong Province recovered a large amount of cash after taking back the properties in the Philippines. A lot of it is now managed by their company. As a manager, her commission is not low. In the long run, her gains are no less than Du Ruo's.
……
"Master Du, you are amazing. Last time my friend and I came here, it was thanks to your advice that he was able to get medical treatment in time. I was really shocked at the time, but it was a close call and he was saved in the end."
Wu Jing sat beside the coffee table and started by thanking him.
"Oh? I wonder what your friend's situation is like."
Du Ruo put down the teacup, changed the tea leaves, and asked while making tea.
He was still quite interested in Ah Hao's situation. Last time he only saw that the other party's "spiritual" fire was about to go out, but he couldn't see the details.
"Alas, stomach cancer, and ulcer erosion. He thought it was just a habitual stomachache at the time, but he didn't notice it because he had to participate in activities and took a lot of painkillers.
Thanks to Master Du's advice, we got to the hospital in time and saved our life. Master Du didn't know that he fainted and went into shock in the car at that time, which scared me to death.
Ah Hao still needs follow-up treatment, so it is inconvenient for him to come here in person to thank you, so I came here instead. By the way, this is a little gift from you, which Ah Hao specially asked me to bring. Please accept it, Master Du."
Wu Jing said this, took out a red envelope from his arms and pushed it in front of Du Ruo.
In fact, although Ah Hao was still in the hospital, he was still a little scared of Du Ruo and was afraid to see her.
"Is that so? Then I won't be polite."
Du Ruo took the red envelope and handed it to Xiang Yuanyuan beside him.
At the same time, he also roughly understood in his mind that whether the "essence" fire is strong or not is probably related to the state at the time. It is not completely hopeless if the "essence" fire is dim. This is similar to his guess.
"You guys drink tea first, I'll go prepare the meal, would you like some for lunch?"
After Xiang Yuanyuan took it, she immediately stood up and started asking questions to the two of them.
"Drink it. I came here specifically to drink. You don't need to prepare any good wine. Just the boss lady's medicinal wine will be fine."
When Wu Jing heard this, his eyes lit up and he took the initiative to speak. Now that he had used Xiang's undiluted tiger bone wine, he had high regard for Xiang Yuanyuan's medicinal wine. Tiger bone wine was so effective, so he was sure that even if other wines were not as effective, they would definitely not be worse.
"Okay, it just so happens that this time my mother sent a batch of medicinal wine suitable for warriors to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. You can try it later."
Xiang Yuanyuan nodded and went out to prepare dinner.
If she had seen Wu Jing before, she would have been surprised and curious, but now, she found that these big stars, without their star halo, were actually no different from ordinary people, and were completely different from the characters on TV.
Next, Du Ruo and Wu Jing continued to drink tea and chat, and naturally they talked about things like martial arts.
The two chatted a lot about martial arts, but Wu Jing only talked about his own experiences, such as which senior was powerful, or who he had seen take action, who he had competed with, or some experiences he had during filming. Du Ruo felt it was very good.
Of course, Du Ruo also talked about a lot of practical stuff, but he talked more about basic skills and some things about body conditioning, such as nourishing essence, nourishing qi, nourishing spirit and other related knowledge.
Wu Jing was also listening attentively, but whether he was listening seriously or just pretending to be interested, only he knew.
Du Ruo did not give any special reminders about this. What he said was actually what the other party urgently needed at the moment. As long as he took care of his body according to what Du Ruo said, he would definitely not be at risk of paralysis in the future.
"It's time to eat~"
As they were chatting, Xiang Yuanyuan's voice came over and she started to invite the two to come over for dinner.
Xiang Yuanyuan's meals were prepared according to Du Ruo's recipes, which mainly consisted of large amounts of meat, and of course, they were mainly stewed, as this was the only way it was simple and convenient. If they were stir-fried, it would not be able to satisfy Du Ruo's appetite at all.
In addition, there was a jar of medicinal wine on the table.
It was not the one-pound jar that Du Ruo had drunk in the wine cellar, but the five-pound jar. It was obvious that she had a better understanding of Du Ruo's alcohol tolerance.
"This time, in addition to expressing my gratitude, I also have an unwelcome request for Master Du's help."
At the dinner table, the three of them were eating and drinking. After three rounds of drinks, Wu Jing finished the bowl of medicinal wine and then spoke out the main purpose of his visit today.
