Chapter 102: Pick Up Someone
Wu Doudou's surgery has been scheduled for the 10th of next month.
That day, at Xu Yingdong's suggestion, Old Wu and Zhang Shuxin met in the hospital. After all, it was such a major operation, so it was necessary for the two parents to meet and learn about the precautions and risks of the operation.
When Old Wu and Mrs. Wu saw Zhang Shuxin, they naturally expressed their gratitude profusely and praised Zhang Xiaoliang from head to toe. Zhang Shuxin was not very good at speaking, so in order to reciprocate, he also praised Wu Doudou for being obedient and strong.
At this time, Xu Yingdong came in and asked, "Is there anything you don't understand about the operation?"
Old Wu asked hurriedly: "Who will be the surgeon in charge?"
Xu Yingdong pointed at himself: "Me, is everything okay?"
Old Wu hesitated and said, "No..."
Mrs. Wu asked, "Doctor Xu, will Wu Doudou be able to be like a normal person after the operation?"
Xu Yingdong looked at Zhang Nianzu and said, "That's the theory."
Mrs. Wu covered her face and cried, "That's great."
"If there is no problem, I'll leave." Xu Yingdong is always busy.
Mrs. Wu murmured after seeing him leave the ward, "Actually, I still have questions... This doctor is so young, I'm not sure if he can do it!"
Zhang Nianzu said in a panic: "Stop saying such things, or someone will hear them!" Xu Yingdong must have heard what he said, but he didn't know whether it was within the range of his selective deafness...
Zhang Xiaoliang asked Wu Doudou: "Are you afraid?"
Wu Dou Dou said, "Don't be afraid." The little girl's face was originally pale, but now it was flushed with excitement, making her look morbidly beautiful.
Zhang Xiaoliang said, "Don't be afraid. You can rest for a while after the surgery and catch up with the final exam. Wang Xiaojun is still waiting for you to deal with him."
Zhang Shuxin murmured, "It's the 10th of next month. Isn't that your birthday, Xiaoliang?"
Zhang Xiaoliang said to Wu Doudou, "Did you hear that? You don't have to be afraid anymore. I have a bonus for you."
Old Wu and Mrs. Wu looked at each other with guilt. The child's birthday had to be spent on the operating table. The two quickly grabbed Zhang Xiaoliang and praised him again. Zhang Shuxin returned the favor and praised Wu Doudou again...
Lei Tingting laughed softly and said, "Why does this scene look like the in-laws visiting each other?"
Zhang Nianzu curled his lips and said, "Your father has never praised me."
Lei Tingting said: "If my father doesn't think highly of you, how can he want to give his kingdom to you?"
"I don't want his kingdom, I just want his daughter."
Ah San also hid aside obediently after hearing these words. The new light bulb, Old Wu, suddenly grabbed Zhang Nianzu's hand and said, "Nianzu, I don't know how to thank you. You are also our family's benefactor!"
Zhang Nianzu pulled his hand away and said disdainfully, "Why did you think of talking about this?"
Old Wu asked him: "Then tell me honestly, where did you get the 500,000 yuan?"
Zhang Nianzu pointed at Li Ah Si and said, "Thank him."
So Old Wu grabbed Ah Si's hand again.
Ah Si was stunned and said, "I didn't do anything!"
Zhang Nianzu laughed and said, "You're going to do it soon." Ah Si's competition would be held in two days.
Ah Si said, "By the way, why hasn't that old guy given me any information yet, whether he wants to lose or win? How can I prepare?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "I didn't say anything, just play like you want to win - don't make the mistake, we've spent all our money." At this time his phone rang, Zhang Nianzu walked outside the ward to answer it, Zhang Shuxin also took Zhang Xiaoliang out to say goodbye, staying here was nothing more than accepting gratitude, he was a little overwhelmed.
When Zhang Shuxin arrived at the underground parking lot, he was stunned from a distance away from his car - his car glass was shattered all over the ground and the car door was opened.
"Xiaoliang, is the USB flash drive I gave you still there?" Zhang Shuxin asked anxiously.
Zhang Xiaoliang patted his schoolbag to signal him not to worry.
Zhang Shuxin heaved a sigh of relief and approached the car cautiously. The car was in a mess, but no one was inside. The car thief did not break the glass and take away anything on the seat like most of his peers, but instead searched the car carefully.
Zhang Xiaoliang said: "Dad, let's call the police."
Zhang Shuxin shook his head and said, "He ran away a long time ago. Even if we catch him, we won't be able to get anything out of him. I've been in this business for so many years, and I've experienced this kind of thing a few times. If you call the police, it means you're panicking, and they'll pester you even more."
Zhang Xiaoliang asked, "Are you just going to wait to be beaten?"
Zhang Shuxin sighed and said, "This is what it's like to compete with an opponent who has no bottom line. As long as the project is completed next month, these monsters will naturally disappear. I hope you are not scared, right?"
Zhang Xiaoliang said indifferently: "I'm fine, you look like you're pretty scared." Zhang Shuxin had just been concentrating on the USB drive, and now he started to feel scared again. His hands and feet were cold and he was shaking.
Zhang Shuxin reluctantly said: "I'm fine... let's go." He cleaned up the broken glass and calmed himself down before getting in the car.
Zhang Xiaoliang also sat in the passenger seat. He fastened his seat belt and said, "Dad, as long as you agree, I will help you deal with people like this in the future."
Zhang Shuxin laughed helplessly and said, "What can you do, kid?"
…
The call Zhang Nianzu received was from Mr. Tang.
"Master Tang, is it decided whether to lose or win?"
Mr. Tang said, "Let's put this aside for now. Tomorrow morning, bring your two brothers with me to the airport to pick someone up."
Zhang Nianzu asked curiously, "Who are you meeting?"
"That's the one who comes to compete with us."
"So you're not a local?" Zhang Nianzu said, "Even if you want to be polite, you can just send someone over. Why should we go there?"
Master Tang said: "The other party's status in the Dao is higher than our Thirteen Spices. This is a courtesy."
Zhang Nianzu simply said, "No! You gave us money for the competition, but you didn't say we had to accompany you. Besides, once we're on stage, we'll be enemies and we'll have to fight until our heads are broken and bloody. Is there any point in being polite?"
Master Tang said, "You must go. Since you are nominally the boxers invited by us, Thirteen Spices, you must go to greet the distinguished guests with the same status as us. This way, the competition will appear to be just an additional prize. Our main purpose is for the subordinates to accept the inspection of the superiors."
Zhang Nianzu said decisively: "Then we won't go. We haven't even started fighting yet and you're already inferior to others. Isn't this just boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige? You didn't tell me about your messy relationships before."
Mr. Tang said: "I'll give you an extra 10,000."
Zhang Nianzu sneered, "I won't go even if you pay me 100,000 !"
Mr. Tang said, "Then I'll let Lao Jiang tell you."
Zhang Nianzu said helplessly : "One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand."
"Who promised to give you 100,000?"
Zhang Nianzu said angrily: "If it's not for Chiang's face, I wouldn't go even if you give me one million. This is a fixed price!" This is not because he is greedy, but his real thought. He has no psychological burden to play a fake game for Wu Doudou. Anyway, Ah Si's body won't suffer any loss. Those who come to bet on such a game are not good people. You can fool them for fun, but it's a bit disgusting to play a fake game and to flatter the opponent in a humble manner. If it weren't for the friendship between Chiang Kai-shek and others who helped him break through, Zhang Nianzu would have hung up the phone.
When Mr. Tang heard that, he said quickly, "Okay, okay, it's 100,000. But you can't be so rude when you get to the airport tomorrow."
Zhang Nianzu snorted and said, "Don't worry, we have a bottom line when it comes to getting paid to do things."
Back in the ward, Zhang Nianzu also said goodbye to the old Wu couple. Before leaving, he patted Wu Doudou on the head and said, "Brother will go to the airport to pick someone up tomorrow and earn some nutrition money for you."
Old Wu wondered, "Are you also taking jobs as a private car driver now?"
