Chapter 436: The Bartons (Part I)
Seeing that the two had finished greeting each other, her husband, who couldn't bear to be anxious, hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed deeply: "Hello, Mr. Lu, I'm Patton, and this is my wife and daughter." www.biquge.info Thank you very, very much, thank you for your willingness to provide us with that magical fruit. You know, since this happened, I've been to almost every state-of-the-art medical facility in the world, and I'm going crazy!"
"That's right! We quarreled almost every day to cure Little Page's illness. But at the end of the day, all the doctors tell us that amyotrophic lateral myelosclerosis may be possible for adults, but for babies. If little Peppa had any accidents, I wouldn't want to live. Woowoowoo......"
Mrs. Barton became more and more agitated the more she spoke, and at last she could not stop crying, and she hugged the baby girl in her arms, as if the poor little creature would die in the next second.
But it's no wonder that for any mother who loves her children, there is nothing more cruel in the world than watching her children endure the ravages of illness.
Seeing that the other party's emotions were a little out of control, Lu Li immediately spoke to reassure: "Madam, don't worry, I guarantee that your daughter will be safe." Let's see if the golden sea buckthorn fruit works for her, and try something else. ”
"Yes, it's important to heal little Peppa first! I believe that God will not let such a lovely angel die before he was born. Rachel also said with relief.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape. Mrs. Barton quickly wiped away her tears and barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
Obviously, she is 100% highly educated, and her family background is very good, and her every move reveals everyone's beautiful demeanor.
"No, please don't apologize, you just reacted the way a mother should have been. ”
Lu Li smiled kindly, turned around and took the lead into the living room, took out a sea buckthorn fruit with golden light from the refrigerator, and handed it to the other party.
"That's what our company is all about, and it's usually chewed and swallowed. But since the baby doesn't have the ability to eat fruit yet, you two need to chew it and feed it to her. Remember, you have to be fast, because the active ingredients of the fruit are very unstable and will rot and deteriorate in a very short time after the skin is broken. In addition, the taste of the fruit is sour and astringent, so be careful not to let the child spit it out. ”
Mr. Barton stared into his wife's eyes and said softly, "Let me come, dear." ”
The latter nodded slightly, and carefully handed the baby girl to her husband, her eyes showing unconcealed nervousness.
Perhaps in her heart, this fruit is her daughter's last hope to recover her health......
Taking a deep breath, Mr. Barton held his breath and chewed the sea buckthorn fruit into his mouth at great speed, then fed it mouth-to-mouth to the incapacitated little one, gagging her mouth to prevent regurgitation.
However, his worries are obviously unnecessary, amyotrophic lateral medullary sclerosis, also known as ALS, itself is a damage to motor neurons, resulting in the loss of the ability of muscles in the whole body to move, even if you don't block your mouth, the chance of being able to spit out is not large.
The incomparably sour taste made this little guy suffer, and in desperation, she had no choice but to swallow it first, with the help of the magical magic plant, she regained her domination over her body in just a few seconds, and she cried loudly, and there was a tendency to cry more and more fiercely, as if protesting, why did she give herself such an unpalatable thing.
Hearing the baby's loud cry, Mr. Barton did not panic, but shouted in ecstasy: "Hahahaha! God! She cried! She was finally able to cry! Unbelievable!"
"Quick! give her to me!" Mrs. Barton, who was also crying with joy, snatched her daughter directly from her husband's hand, hugged her in her arms and kissed her incessantly. "Oh, my baby, don't cry, Mommy is here, Mommy will be by your side for the rest of your life. ”
"Wow, wow, wow, wow......"
The little one was obviously not very easy to coax, and while crying desperately, he waved his immature little arms and tried to push his mother away.
Seeing that she was mobile, Mr. Barton, as a father, could no longer control the pain and stress that had accumulated over the past few days, and began to wipe away tears incessantly.
Looking at the harmonious and warm scene of a family of three, a hint of relief flashed in Lu Li's eyes, and he muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear...... That's it...... I can make the world a better place...... I have to gain more power...... I'm going to be the Dominant...... and not the ...... of the dominated"
"Hey, what are you muttering? Everyone should be happy now, shouldn't they?" Rachel interrupted his thoughts with a smile.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little distracted, habitually divergent. Lu Li smiled and shook his head.
He didn't quite know what was going on with him lately, and if there were always some messy thoughts popping up in his mind, maybe it was really time to see a psychiatrist.
After making out with his daughter for a while, Mr. Barton quickly calmed down, quickly took out a pre-prepared check from his bosom, and presented it with both hands.
"Mr. Lu, this is a check for two million dollars, I don't know if it's enough, if it's not enough, please just ask, I'm still a little confident in the economy. ”
"No, two million dollars is enough, but I don't want to take this check, so please donate it to charity. Lu Li did not hesitate to refuse the other party's handover of money.
It's not that he pretends to be high, but that accepting this money will cause a lot of trouble.
Because since signing the contract with JPMorgan Chase, the golden sea buckthorn fruit itself no longer belongs to a single person, but is jointly owned by two shareholders.
This means that any sale of fruit without going through the corporate formalities is an outright breach of the agreement, and in the United States, where business reputation is important, the consequences are absolutely very serious.
If he accepts the money, unless it is not credited to the company's account, it will not be clear how the funds came from.
But if he doesn't enter the company's account, he has no other legal way to file taxes, so he might as well give it up.
As for not filing taxes and cheating the IRS, as long as people with a little common sense will not do it, it is much more exciting than robbing a bank.
Robbing a bank at least has a chance to hire a lawyer to turn the tables, but deceive the IRS......
It can only be said that a sky-high ticket can make you start to doubt your life.
No businessman would want to take a $100 million fine from the IRS for just two million.
Seeing that Lu Li didn't seem to be polite, Barton immediately exclaimed in awe: "God, you are such a kind and caring person. Well, since you insist, I'll donate this check in your name to the child welfare agency in the hope that it will help those poor children more. ”
"Oh, by the way, there are still nine fruits here, please take them back and refrigerate them in a low temperature environment, I believe that in a year or so, your daughter will stay healthy." As for a year's time, our production will be able to meet a part of the market, and there will be no more supply tightness like now. With that, Lu Li took out the container prepared in advance from the refrigerator and put it on the table.
