I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a Thousand Years - Chapter 290
Chapter 290: 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.
It was not just because of his impression of Wu Chen.
Wu Chen was still his “God of Wealth”.
“Actually, this matter is not that troublesome.” Wu Chen smiled.
“Mr. Wu, look, how can I help? How about… I go to Donghai?” Gu Ruibo thought.
“If you have time, you can come and build up A’tai’s momentum,” Wu Chen said with a smile. “If you don’t have time, forget it. There is no need to make special arrangements. You can just talk to A’tai about the details.”
“Sure, let me check the time…” Gu Ruibo said.
The two chatted for a bit more and then hung up.
They finished the brief chat.
They didn’t talk about anything substantive, it could just be said that it was all nonsense.
But in fact, this was for ventilation. If they really need to later, they could call Gu Ruibo for help. Gu Ruibo’s phone number also meant to contact him more and get closer.
Wu Chen put the phone back, turned his head, and saw Li Ruobing looking at him with something wrong.
Li Ruobing stared at Wu Chen without blinking.
“What’s wrong?” Wu Chen asked Li Ruobing with a smile.
Li Ruobing still looked directly at Wu Chen and didn’t answer.
In fact, she felt that Gu Ruibo’s attitude towards Wu Chen was so complimentary. Those who didn’t know it thought he was talking to a big shot who was more powerful than his Gu family.
Li Ruobing’s mood was very subtle.
She knew how awesome and scary Wu Chen was, and she understood that no matter who the person was, as long as they had contact with Wu Chen, their perception and attitude towards Wu Chen would change.
However, understanding was one thing, but intuitively feeling it was another.
Li Ruobing experienced it twice today.
Just a feeling of “How can my man be so awesome?”!
“Is there something wrong with my face?” Wu Chen asked with a smile when Li Ruobing didn’t speak.
Li Ruobing reacted, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, blinked and said, “It’s nothing.”
After saying that, she reached out and kissed Wu Chen on the cheek, then hugged Wu Chen and leaned against him and asked, “Will you still sleep?”
“Are you still sleepy?” Wu Chen asked.
“Not sleepy.” Li Ruobing said.
“Let’s go.” Wu Chen said and kissed Li Ruobing’s forehead.
They woke up.
They got to the bathroom to wash up, because Li Ruobing had to put on makeup, so after Wu Chen got dressed, he left the bedroom and went downstairs.
It was ten o’clock in the morning and there was no one in the living room on the first floor.
Wu Chen sat down in front of the sofa, turned on the TV, and watched the news.
More than ten minutes later.
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.
