Chapter 281 Farewell
My father, Wu Zhiwen, and my second uncle, Wu Zhiwu, had a very happy Spring Festival in Beijing.
Seeing Wu Tao's thriving career, they, as elders, are naturally very proud.
When Wu Tao came out of Xishan Province alone, they were worried about him for a long time in private.
Now Wu Tao is not only successful in his career, but he has also found a good wife, and his father-in-law is not worried about her causing trouble.
When they took the train back on the tenth day of the lunar month, Wu Gang, Wu Tao's cousin, hugged him and cried for a long time.
Wu Gang has been having a blast these past two weeks, seeing so many fun things. In particular, his older brother secretly gave him twenty yuan as pocket money, which he used to buy a lot of snacks.
Wu Tao, Sun Jiayi, Sun Zhengyi, and Chen Fang all came to see them off.
After spending so much time together, the two families have truly become relatives.
Everyone may have some minor flaws, but when both sides are willing to make amends, things will naturally get along well.
Sun Jiayi personally prepared a lot of cooked food for her parents and second uncle's family so they could eat on the road.
Chen Fang also bought several sets of clothes for her mother Liu Lan and her second aunt Chang Jing.
For the Sun family, befriending the Wu family would ensure their eldest son's future.
With such a capable son-in-law, constantly serving high-ranking officials, his son's future is naturally secured with just a word. This kind of confidence is more solid than any background.
Wu Tao didn't hide his medical skills this time either, and even specially treated his parents, second uncle, and second aunt's family.
If he were to be reborn as the other person's son in this life, he would have an obligation to do his best to ensure that the other person lives a healthy life until their natural death.
Wu Zhiwen and Liu Lan also talked a lot with Wu Tao and Sun Jiayi. Perhaps that's how it is with close relatives; they always worry about whether the other person can take care of themselves.
They didn't finally see the person off until the train was almost at the station. Then Wu Tao and the others took a car back home.
After taking Sun Zhengyi and Chen Fang home, Sun Jiayi returned to the family compound with Wu Tao.
Now that they're engaged, they're not afraid of gossip. Even if they're not married yet, besides holding onto that final hurdle, they have plenty of other things to do.
Sun Jiayi has now started decorating her room with things she likes.
Wu Tao had actually taken the opportunity to sell ten gold bars during the recent rise in gold prices.
International gold prices have recently reached $850 per ounce, which is the highest level for gold in the next twenty years.
One gold bar weighs one kilogram, which is worth 272,400 US dollars. Wu Tao didn't exchange for too many gold bars; he no longer wanted to be a tycoon.
With over two million RMB, he could have placed bets in advance to buy some items that would appreciate in value.
Wu Tao didn't ask for US dollars; he exchanged them directly for RMB. At that time, one US dollar could be exchanged for eight RMB.
This means that the gold was in high demand but not readily available, and a premium was required to exchange it for US dollars. This implies that Wu Tao's gold was hard currency, so in the end, Wu Tao only received 2.2 million RMB.
Perhaps because every era has its wealthy tycoons, Wu Tao was able to find an opportunity to make a sale in the underground black market at this time.
As for the underground black market, he had already inquired about it in advance and was just waiting for this day.
Trading on the underground black market is not so simple, and Wu Tao even encountered some risks.
However, the other party underestimated Wu Tao. With the combat power of a special forces king, he not only killed the opponent but also actually met the player behind the scenes.
In the end, Wu Tao not only received a large sum of money, but also gained a lot of weapons and equipment in his personal space.
Two million two hundred thousand yuan in cash is enough for Wu Tao for now.
Having a lot of cash in this era is actually not very useful; two million is enough for Wu Tao to do a lot of things.
Because the Shen family had been keeping an eye on Wu Tao, they naturally received news of his engagement to Sun Jiayi long ago.
Even after learning how outstanding Wu Tao had become, Shen Yuchu still couldn't help but secretly keep an eye on him.
She used to think Wu Tao was unsophisticated, a country bumpkin. Back then in Wu Family Village, Shen Yuchu felt she would never be able to return to the capital, and in order to change her living environment, she agreed to get engaged to Wu Tao.
At that time, the most suitable person Shen Yuchu could contact was Wu Tao, the captain of Wujiazhuang Village, who was also a doctor.
If Wu Tao had stayed in the rural area of Fang County, his circumstances would have been among the best.
When Shen Yuchu saw some outstanding male classmates at university, she felt that they were not from the same social class.
At this point, people will first start to weigh the pros and cons, and realize that the value Wu Tao can bring her in the future is a burden, and Shen Yuchu begins to waver.
Once she discovers that Wu Tao is not a country bumpkin, but is even far more outstanding than her classmates, she will take a closer look at her current boyfriend and find that he is not actually that great.
Wu Tao's recent achievements at the Health Bureau further prove that his future is limitless. On the contrary, the boyfriend that Shen Yuchu favors may never be as good as Wu Tao.
According to the secrets her father, Shenyang Cheng, told Shen Yuchu, even a director like her father wasn't qualified to have Wu Tao treat him.
Shen Yuchu has always admired her father, and her greatest hope is that her husband can achieve the same position in the future.
Now her father tells her personally that Wu Tao is so outstanding that even her father can't compare to him.
Although her father's position might be higher than Wu Tao's, a doctor, Shen Yuchu, as the son of an official, knew all too well that a high position did not equate to great power.
Similarly, some people may not hold any official position, yet they can accomplish many great things.
Wu Tao may never have the chance to be promoted in his lifetime, but his influence far exceeds that of Shenyang City.
If we were to name the person in the Shen family who regrets things the most, it would probably be Shen Yuchu's eldest brother, Shen Changshan.
Shen Changshan has always been shrewd and calculating. For the sake of his future, he has been diligent and even went so far as to set his sights on the marriages of his two younger sisters.
Who could have imagined that the opportunity that was rightfully his would be cut short by his own actions?
If only he, as Shen Yuchu's older brother, had stood up and said a few good words for Wu Tao back then.
In the end, Wu Tao and Shen Yuchu got married smoothly, and based on that, he could live off her for the rest of his life.
Now Shen Changshan has no chance to benefit from Wu Tao.
If Wu Tao finds out later that it was his idea for Shen Yuchu to break off the engagement, Shen Changshan will probably suffer a terrible fate.
Shen Changshan saw Shen Yuchu several times when he returned, and each time he seemed hesitant to speak. He really wanted Shen Yuchu to continue pursuing Wu Tao, because if Wu Tao was willing to change his mind, he could gain Wu Tao's support in the future.
As a member of the Shen family, how could Shen Yuchu not understand her elder brother's thoughts? Unfortunately, she was too ashamed to face Wu Tao now, not to mention that Wu Tao was already engaged again.
