Chapter 88
The first volume is now over, and the second volume is about to enter. The foreshadowing is over, and Mr. Li is about to change his personality and take the initiative! In addition, I am asking for a recommendation vote here, I hope everyone can vote if you have a vote, thank you! ****
Andrew, Reginald the Dog Tail, Rambis, Buck the Bald, and Li Du lined up to take a group photo.
A reporter talked eloquently into the camera: "...the storage auction industry in this city launched a charity auction today to address the lack of funds for welfare homes."
"There are a total of five warehouses in this auction, mainly beautiful porcelain and practical furniture. In the end, the five treasure hunters around me bought five warehouses respectively, and raised a total of 229,000 yuan for charity..."
Reginald was devastated, Rambis looked desperate, Buck had an ugly expression, Andrew was smiling, and Li Du was elated. This is the portrayal of the emotions of the five people at this time.
The beautiful black-haired hostess talked to the camera and then looked at the five people, saying: "Next, I will interview the kind treasure hunters, let us listen to their voices."
The camera lens turned around, and the five people quickly smiled, but one person smiled sincerely, one smiled a little forcedly, and the other three smiled uglier than crying.
Just as the hostess was about to ask a question, the auctioneer Humphries also came up and said, "And me, host, there are six of us in this charity event."
"ah?"
"I am an auctioneer. According to the contract, I can get 10% of the income. I am willing to donate the money to the orphanage and my old friend Mama Mesa." Humphries pointed to the black woman next to him.
Mama Mesa's face was almost full of smiles, and the donation of more than 200,000 US dollars was of great help to her orphanage.
The interviews were conducted in descending order of the amount of money, starting with Li Du.
Li Du tidied up his clothes, waved to the camera, and said with a smile, "I am very glad to be able to participate in this charity event. Ever since I joined the industry of treasure pickers, I have been thinking about how to help those who need us. Thank you God, I got this opportunity."
"In addition, as far as I know, there are AIDS aid groups who are planning to organize similar charity activities. I think we treasure hunters are also willing to join."
"As a normal person, I can't feel their pain, so as long as I can help them, no matter what criticism I receive, no matter how much effort I put in, I am willing to bear it!"
The hostess smiled and said, "You are such a kind gentleman."
Next was Andrew, who had nothing to do with Li Du, so he just strolled aside.
Arcaro Benedetto walked towards him and said with a smile, "Hey, Lee, you owe me a favor."
Li Du understood what he was talking about, and anyone who wasn't stupid could guess that he was playing tricks on this matter.
So he said, "Yeah, man, you've been a big help, otherwise we wouldn't have raised as much money."
Arcaro-Benedetto said: "The treasure hunters have gone too far. They slandered your reputation, and the methods they use are despicable, but if you do this, you will offend many people."
Li Du smiled proudly and said, "I am not just taking revenge on them this time, but I also hope to help the orphanage. Therefore, no matter what criticism I receive, I am willing to bear it."
Hans patted him on the shoulder and said, "As a brother, I will always be with you."
Arcaro Benedetto gave him a meaningful look: "You have a very powerful brother, but powerful people are often terrible."
Hans spread his hands and said, "I didn't realize that."
Arcaro Benedetto said: "I was joking. I didn't expect you to organize such an event quietly. It's a pity that I didn't find out, otherwise I would also like to participate."
As he said that, he shook his head unwillingly: "This guy Andrew got a blessing in disguise. Twenty-five thousand yuan was exchanged for a chance to appear on TV. Damn it, it's cheap for him!"
Naturally, everything in this auction was jointly arranged by Hans and Li Du. Hans arranged a warehouse that could be faked, and Li Du hired Chinese women to act.
But the appearance of the media was a surprise. It was Mama Mesa who contacted the media. The orphanage has contacts with the media. After all, this is a place to create topics.
Li Du remembered that when Sophie's team was conducting physical examinations for the orphanage staff, Mama Mesa said they were still short of money, so she told her that a batch of donations could be raised.
Mama Mesa told the media about this event, and the ABC branch in Flagstaff City was very interested in it. There is no way, there is really no big news in this small place.
In this way, there is the final result, and this result makes Li Du very satisfied.
First of all, he completed his revenge on the treasure hunter for slandering him, and showed his fangs. Presumably, if someone provokes him in the future, he will have to think carefully.
Secondly, he washed off his bad reputation through the TV station. His previous words were tantamount to justifying himself, and he thought that what he said was good enough.
In the end, he did fulfill his promise and got more than 200,000 yuan in donations to the orphanage. This is the most important thing.
At the end of the interview, everyone paid money to clean up the warehouse, or started to clean up the garbage.
Li Du has furniture and porcelain here. Although they are not worth much, they can be sold to a grocery store for a thousand or eight hundred yuan.
The others were miserable, especially Rambis, who was already crying bitterly as he threw the porcelain.
When Li Du and Hans drove away, there were still some treasure hunters who did not leave. These people looked at him in awe, and no one dared to mock him anymore.
When he got home, he opened the door and saw Rose watching TV.
"Did you leave work early today?"
"Well, I asked my dad's friend to buy something for you. I hope you like it." Rose handed him a box.
Li Du saw that it turned out to be a ginseng, and immediately smiled and said, "I'm so young, I don't need..."
Rose curled her lips: "Don't be brave, you forgot the result of being brave last time? This is real Changbai ginseng, it will help you."
Li Du couldn't explain, so he accepted the ginseng, and asked, "Is your situation better now at the police station?"
Hearing this question, Rose showed a rare smile on her pretty face: "It's not bad, now that I have a partner, some annoying guys will stop coming to me. Thank you, Li."
"You are welcome."
Rose hesitated for a moment, and asked, "There is something I wanted to ask you, but I never had the chance."
Li Du shrugged and said, "You don't need to ask, I loved you."
"What?!"
"I'm just joking, you can ask." Li Du smiled wryly.
"How did you determine that the robber was in that room?" Rose frowned and said, "Oh, don't get me wrong, I didn't suspect anything, I just wanted to learn, and I returned to the scene, but found nothing."
Li Du said: "You pay more attention to the details. The house is full of cheap furniture and clothes, but the floor is full of lunch boxes from famous hotels. It is obvious that the owner suddenly has a lot of money recently."
"There are too many lunch boxes, this is not a person's appetite. The ashtrays on the table are full of cigarette butts, but some of the cigarette butts have chewing marks, while others do not, which shows that the people who make the cigarette butts have different smoking habits..."
"And the curtains on the second floor, who will open all the curtains during the day this season?"
"There is a new haircut pusher on the dinner table. There are black hair residues, which means that someone has recently had a haircut. Looking at the length of the hair residues, I know that this person likes a bald head. If the hair grows a little, it will be pushed..."
"The most important thing is that if you look carefully enough, you can find that there are three different footprints on the floor recently, but you told me that the result of the inspection is that there is only one person living here!"
Rose was dumbfounded: "..."
