23. Zhou Rui's demeanor
"Hey, I seem to have seen this?" A senior police station official took the thing from Zhou Rui, looked at it for a few times, and then said: "Yes, this one is among the batch of Thai smuggled goods we assisted in seizing last time. It seems to be called corpse oil. It is said that it was collected by putting dead babies on a rack and roasting their chins. It is particularly inhumane. And this hair should also be the baby's fetal hair."
The sound of people was creepy when they heard it. The corpse oil collected from roasting dead babies' chins? It's too cruel!
The senior police officer said again: "Thailand, including Myanmar and Laos, have a special belief in this. However, as far as I know, this kind of amulet made of corpse oil is a yin card. Although it can make people lucky in a short time, it is easy to be retaliated by unclean things. Jiang Guobing, why did you buy such a evil thing?"
Jiang Guobing was a little stunned when he heard this, and said, "I, when we bought it, the man said it was made by Azan in the temple..."
"Then you must have been deceived." Zhou Rui shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is indeed a wrong way. Ordinary people are prone to danger because of this. You can believe it, but it is best not to touch it."
Jiang Guobing nodded, suddenly grabbed the small bottle and amulet, threw it directly into the trash can, and said gritting his teeth: "I will never buy these things again!"
Zhang Hongming patted Zhou Rui on the shoulder, laughed and said, "Brother, you are going to be famous this time. I will ask someone to help you promote it and ensure your reputation is great!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Rui shook his hand and said, "Don't! I never thought of becoming famous, it's good now. Mr. Zhang really wants to help me, and turn around and tell the hospital that this matter must not be spread. If you have to pay attention to the credit, Dr. Chen and the others are quite suitable."
People around him were stunned. Now many people want to become famous after breaking their heads. Zhou Rui has this strength and this opportunity, so why do he push it out instead?
Zhou Rui himself has no choice but to say that his medical skills were learned from the Book of Moral Heaven. He has always been a coward for more than 20 years.
If he suddenly said that he had become a miracle doctor, no one who knew him would believe it. Even if he believed it, he would doubt where he got his medical skills.
In short, if Zhou Rui wants to keep the secret of the Book of Morality, he must learn to act in a low-key manner.
As for the so-called fame, let’s forget it, he doesn’t value it.
After much persuasion, Zhang Hongming finally agreed with a lot of discomfort. If he didn't help him promote, he had to find connections to let these doctors not spread the word everywhere.
"Mr. Zhou, your good medical skills should be used to save the world and treat talents from all over the world. The more famous you are, the greater the effect you can play." Dr. Chen still persuaded him without giving up: "It really doesn't work, you can come to our hospital. We have a Chinese medicine department, and with your medical skills, it's okay to be a chief physician!"
"This... everyone has their own ambitions, I still like a simple life." Zhou Rui said.
Dr. Chen and the others couldn't persuade him, but in the end they could only understand that this was a master's demeanor. They took fame and fortune lightly, so they yearned for pastorality and freedom more.
Afterwards, Jiang Guobing's wife was pushed to the intensive care unit. Zhou Rui couldn't stand being sought after by a bunch of people. In the past, he was always scolded for being a weak man, not a man. Now, suddenly a bunch of people came to hold her in her arms, so naturally she was not used to it.
Seeing that he wanted to leave, Zhang Hongming did not refuse, but only reminded Chen Jinliang to invite him to dinner.
Chen Jinliang himself also came over and made it clear that he hoped Zhou Rui could give him a chance to apologize.
After all, he was a director, so Zhou Rui couldn't directly refute his face. Just as he was about to agree, his phone rang.
After connecting, Ji Qingyun's cold voice came from inside: "Why are you not in the bookstore!"
This is not a question, but a tone of reprimand.
Zhou Rui quickly explained: "I'll visit Xiaoling in the hospital and go back now."
Fortunately, Ji Qingyun knew that Xiaoling was the little girl who had a car accident. She heard that he was visiting the patient and her tone was slightly better: "It doesn't take that long to see the patient. I've been waiting for you here for an hour and there is no one there!"
"Wait for me for an hour?" Zhou Rui was very surprised. He had always been waiting for Ji Qingyun, so how could he do the opposite?
"I'm going to have dinner with my third uncle's family tonight, come here quickly!" Ji Qingyun said.
Zhou Rui quickly responded, hung up the phone, and said apologetically to Chen Jinliang and Zhang Hongming: "I'm really sorry, my family has dinner together today..."
"Of course, family members are the most important. It doesn't matter. Mr. Zhou is busy first, and there are opportunities in the future." Chen Jinliang said without mind.
Zhang Hongming also smiled and said, "That's right, the future is long. However, I really want to meet Brother Zhou's family. What a good family that can have talents like Brother Zhou."
Zhou Rui smiled awkwardly and thought to himself that if you knew that I was a "soft-for-nothing person", you would probably not think so.
He is somewhat inferior in this matter.
After leaving the People's Hospital, Zhou Rui returned to the bookstore. Ji Qingyun was already very impatient and scolded him for a while when she met. Zhou Rui did not dare to say too much, so he just opened the door and borrowed the reason to look at the circuit, and put the Book of Morality on the bar.
He was afraid that there were too many people when eating, so it would be troublesome if he was caught.
Ji Qingyun was naturally even more unhappy. She had been delayed for a long time and looked at the circuit. Even if a broken bookstore was burned, how much money would it be worth?
This time, the child is off school and the adults get off work, and the road is a little bit congested.
Forty or fifty minutes later, the two arrived at Tengwang Pavilion. Under the guidance of the waiter, they entered the private room.
When the people in the private room heard the sound of the door opening, they immediately turned around and looked.
Seeing that it was Zhou Rui, one of the women immediately said, "Oh, this is Xiao Zhou, he is quite arrogant, and he is waiting for you until now. Why? The bookstore business is so busy that he can't get free? Boyi came after work."
The person who spoke was the third aunt. Among the many relatives, she was the kind of person who was more competitive.
Every time I go out, no matter what others say, I can turn the topic on my son, and then praise it in an unintentional tone.
However, as the best-looking person in the family, Ji Qingyun has always been unable to find any point to belittle her. Fortunately, Zhou Rui is the one who is dragging her back.
Therefore, whenever I see Zhou Rui, my third aunt will always mock her openly and secretly. It seems that as long as this is the case, her son will be more than Ji Qingyun.
Sitting next to her was a young man with an arrogant face, glanced at Zhou Rui and sneered with disdain or dissatisfaction.
Although he had just graduated, Song Boyi has always looked down on Zhou Rui to the extreme since he was a child.
Zhou Rui boarded the Ji family since elementary school, eating and drinking for free, and married a beautiful woman like Ji Qingyun. In Song Boyi's opinion, it was purely because of shit and ringworm growing in the Golden Palace - a good place to give birth!
Not to mention that he was almost illiterate after graduating from junior high school, he was so poor that he was so poor that he had a bad body. What is the difference between him and a waste?
So, even if Zhou Rui is nominally his brother-in-law, Song Boyi has never called him that before.
Every time I call him by his name, I have no intention of respecting him at all. Until now, I have no interest in talking to Zhou Rui.
In Song Boyi's opinion, they are completely different people.
My goal is to surpass my cousin Ji Qingyun and become the best person in the family, so that all relatives can look up to it.
As for Zhou Rui? What is it?
Song Fengxue immediately scolded: "Zhou Rui, haven't you called you a long time ago? Why haven't you come yet? It's really inappropriate!"
Zhou Rui quickly explained that the traffic jam was stuck on the road, so it was a little slower.
However, no one listened to his explanation. Based on past experience, Zhou Rui just made up the number of people in such occasions and did chores. He would make fun of him if he had vegetables, but he wouldn't have any food. Anyway, the Ji family's own people were not very good to Zhou Rui, so it doesn't matter to others.
Ji Zeming smoothed out the game and asked the waiter to serve the dishes quickly.
In normal times, Zhou Rui must have lowered his head and said nothing. But today he just brought a group of doctors to create miracles and gave him a lot of confidence. He looked at Song Boyi and asked curiously: "When will Boyi come back? Don't you go to school?"
Song Boyi looked at him sideways and said, "Can your memory be even worse?"
"That's right, we, Boyi, have graduated for half a year and have already started work, you don't know? Lao Ji, you, as a professor, teach so many students, and you don't teach your son-in-law," said the third aunt.
Ji Zeming didn't like to argue with others very much, so he picked up the cup, laughed twice and didn't say anything.
On the contrary, Song Feng was inertially scolded: "If you don't know, don't talk, it's funny."
Ji Qingyun seemed to be a little overwhelmed and said, "Mom, please say less."
"I'm right!" Song Fengxue seemed to be still holding a grudge against Zhou Rui for saying that she sold fake medicines, and said unhappily: "I thought everyone was like him, and I wouldn't go to junior high school after going to junior high school. Boyi is a top student who graduated from a key university. Now he works in a big company and has a bright future! Unlike Zhou Rui, he knows that he is guarding a broken bookstore and has no prospects at all."
Ji Qingyun frowned slightly, and was about to say something else, but suddenly she felt someone slapped the back of her hand twice.
Looking down, I found that it was Zhou Rui's hand. When I looked up again, I saw Zhou Rui smiling and shook his head slightly at her, as if saying it was okay.
Ji Qingyun was a little surprised. Zhou Rui always had no reaction when encountering this situation in the past and accepted it. Although he still didn't say anything today, his expression was much better than before.
At least, Ji Qingyun didn't see loss and inferiority in his eyes, but instead... with a little inexplicable confidence?
Especially his actions, although the two have been married for several years, Zhou Rui has almost never pulled her hands. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but that he doesn’t dare.
What happened today? It seems that my courage suddenly became bigger?
At this time, Ji Zeming said, "Okay, don't talk about gossip, let's talk about the serious business. Boyi, you just said everything about your cousin's company. Look, can you help me?"
Song Boyi pushed the glasses on his nose, with a strong sense of arrogance, and said: "Our Hongye Group is not an ordinary company. It is a first-class enterprise in the country and strictly abides by various standards. When my cousin's company encounters difficulties in signing a contract, it can only mean that the standards have not been met."
Zhou Rui was stunned, Hongye Group? Zhang Hongming's company?
He subconsciously glanced at Ji Qingyun, and saw that his wife seemed unhappy, but she seemed to be worried, so he did not refute.
Although Song Fengxue runs a clinic, he can also be considered a businessman, so he said, "That's why I asked you for help. After all, you are an employee of Hongye Group. Your cousin doesn't ask for anything else, just want to meet their department director. Do you think this standard is enough? You have to know after meeting you. You always can't meet people, how can you know what's wrong? We are all our own family. If you can, please help. Thank you for this aunt."
Only then did Zhou Rui understand why he suddenly had a meal with his third uncle and his family today. It turned out that he was asking someone for help.
He looked at Song Boyi curiously and asked, "Boyi also works in Hongye Group? Which department is it?"
"As well?" Song Boyi glanced at him and sneered: "Why do you think you are working there too? Or do you know who is from Hongye Group? If you know each other, you don't have to ask me for help."
Regarding his cousin-law, Song Boyi felt that the more he looked at him, the more he felt that he was not a member of the same place.
I am almost thirty and have no prospects yet. I am just a broken bookstore and I still rent it to someone else. I can’t even make a profit of 1,000 yuan every month except for rent, water and electricity bills.
Look at this outfit, it probably costs less than 500 yuan. This suit costs several thousand!
And I graduated from a prestigious university and my salary during the internship period is as high as 5,000 yuan! After two months of becoming a regular employee, it is easy to exceed 10,000 yuan!
One month's salary is equivalent to the money earned by this so-called cousin's husband in a year.
Chapter completed!
