Chapter 84: The Great Gift
A pre-liberation banknote was auctioned for a sky-high price of 500,000 yuan. Compared with the other gold dollar coupons of the Republic of China just now, I don't know how many times more expensive. In terms of purchasing power alone, this so-called "6 billion" banknote is only enough to buy 77 grains of rice.
Lin Xiaojin and Wei Ruolan were even more dumbfounded. Wei Ruolan stuck out her tongue and couldn't help but say to Lin Xiaojin: "It seems that you are still right." ”
Lin Xiaojin was puzzled: "What's wrong with me?"
"You told me not to buy gifts. After listening to your words, I didn't buy any gifts. Otherwise, it will be bought for nothing. What kind of gift should we give to impress this old man?" Wei Ruolan smiled cutely.
But at this time, Lin Xiaojin did not answer, but he had another plan in his heart.
Finally, the nouveau riche on 37 shut up, thinking he was bidding against a crazy old man.
And after Mr. Liu took this banknote, he looked a little stunned.
Old Man Liu didn't even look at the banknote on the auction table.
At this time, there was still half the time before the end of the auction, but Old Man Liu had already stood up and walked out of the auction hall without looking back.
Wu Debiao hurriedly chased after a few steps, and finally caught up. He whispered in Old Man Liu's ear: "Commander, you should be happy that you have successfully completed today's auction target." But look at your face......"
Old Man Liu sighed and said, "Alas, you don't understand my mind." Collecting this note is just a thought on my part. Even if it's five million today, I'll take a picture of this note. But...... But I knew from the beginning that he wasn't the one I wanted. ”
"Isn't that what you want......ed, aren't you going to take pictures of this banknote early in the morning?"
Wu Debiao was also born as a soldier. followed Liu Dongsheng from birth to death. Liu Dongsheng has made great achievements, promoted all the way, and promoted him to keep up all the way. By the time Liu Dong was promoted to the commander of the large military region and the rank of general, Wu Debiao had also been promoted to army commander with the rank of major general.
However, Wu Debiao knows how to be grateful, and knows that everything he has obtained is inseparable from the cultivation of Old Man Liu. Therefore, when Liu Dongsheng retired from the position of commander of the large military region, he voluntarily gave up the rank of high-ranking official Houlu and major general, and was willing to be Liu Dongsheng's personal guard and the housekeeper of the Liu family.
Out of respect for Liu Dongsheng and respect for Wu Debiao's personal wishes, Wu Debiao was demoted by two ranks, to the rank of colonel, and he was restored to the local level. He was appointed as a division commander in the People's Armed Forces Department of Haitong City. However, he doesn't have to go to work in the Ministry of People's Armed Forces, and his main duty is to protect the safety of Liu Dongsheng's family.
Conventionally, as the commander of a large military region who has retired from the front line, Liu Dongsheng should also have personal guards. It's just that to put a colonel in charge of his guard duties is a little higher.
Old Man Liu listened to Wu Debiao's words, and just shook his head gently.
Coming to the door of the auction venue, the group walked towards the elevator.
Lin Xiaojin saw this opportunity, pulled Wei Ruolan and leaned towards them.
Wei Ruolan hurriedly stepped back, not only did she want to retreat, but she also wanted to pull Lin Xiaojin backwards. While retreating, she subconsciously said, "You...... What do you want to do?"
Lin Xiaojin replied, "Give a gift!" He used a little force in his hand, and he pulled Wei Ruolan to meet him.
Wei Ruolan became more and more nervous and said, "Give gifts, where did we get the gifts, what kind of gifts?"
Lin Xiaojin replied succinctly with two words: "Great gift." ”
At this time, Old Man Liu and his party had already walked up to the two of them. Wu Debiao professionally stood in front of Old Man Liu, looked at Lin Xiaojin and Wei Ruolan without anger, but said very politely: "Two little comrades, borrow it, borrow it." ”
Lin Xiaojin immediately greeted him with a smile, and said with a very friendly look: "May I ask this uncle, is this old man behind you Liu Dongsheng, the old man of the Liu family?"
"You ......" Wu Debiao was a little surprised. But from his professional point of view, the two handsome guys and beauties in front of him didn't seem to mean to hurt Old Man Liu.
Lin Xiaojin knew that he couldn't play with a big man like them, so he said frankly: "We are here to find Old Man Liu." We went to the 'Willow Dock' first and wanted to see Mr. Liu, but the lieutenant of the armed police at the door called inside and told us that Mr. Liu could not see us because of something.
"Later, we saw two military vehicles coming out of the 'Willow Dock'. We guessed that Mr. Liu might be in the car, so he stopped a taxi and followed. ”
Wu Debiao suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that the two high school students that Lieutenant Liu said are the two of you." Do you have anything to do with Old Man Liu?" Wu Debiao is still used to calling Old Man Liu "Commander" in private. However, in public, he would call Liu Dongsheng "Liu Lao" in a very low-key manner.
Lin Xiaojin didn't sell it anymore, and said bluntly: "I want to ask Grandpa Liu to talk to his grandson, Dr. Liu, and ask him to perform a brain aneurysm surgery for my classmate's mother." ”
When Wu Debiao heard this, he didn't react for a while, because Lin Xiaojin's request was a bit twisted. However, he quickly understood, and said politely to Lin Xiaojin: "This classmate, it is true that Dr. Liu is the grandson of Old Liu. However, Dr. Liu has lived in Jingbei City for many years, and Dr. Liu is no longer confused, so it is inconvenient for us to criticize him about his work.
"Moreover, it is just an operation, so why do you want Dr. Liu to do it? Dr. Liu is in the north of Beijing, thousands of miles away, and it is not very convenient to come and go. In my opinion, you should ask the doctor of Haitong to do the operation as soon as possible, so as not to delay the patient's condition. ”
Wu Debiao really served as a military commander, and he spoke in a detailed manner, neither humble nor arrogant, reasonable and responsible.
Old Man Liu heard it all in the back, and couldn't help but express his satisfaction with Wu Debiao's attitude and watertight wording, and nodded slightly to Wu Debiao.
Lin Xiaojin had long been mentally prepared for Wu Debiao's "semi-official" words, so he went straight to the point: "Okay, then let's put this matter aside for the time being." However, I have one more thing that I think Grandpa Liu will definitely be interested in. This matter is related to a great hobby of Grandpa Liu's life. ”
"Oh, a big hobby?" Wu Debiao couldn't help but look back at Old Man Liu, and then turned back to Lin Xiaojin and said, "Do you know what Old Man Liu's hobbies are?"
