Chapter 692 - 0692: Gift Character Group Photo 3_1
Xibao lifted her chubby face upon hearing the elder leader mention her name, responding with an "Ah?"
"I’m not talking to you, kiddo!" The elder leader retracted his hand from Lu Zhiyuan’s shoulder, gently patted Xibao’s head, and said to Lu Zhiyuan, "Indeed, debt can’t just be written off. Sparing every needle and thread of the common people is the purpose of our army and also our nation. It is a tenet that everyone must obey."
Lu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If you really want to repay the debt, I have a suggestion."
"What kind of suggestion?" After the elder leader finished asking, he continued speaking, "Give me some time, Comrade Lu. It will take a while for me to gather such a large sum of money. Let alone commodities, the gold you loaned to the country alone, calculated at the market price of five bucks per gram, would exceed my writing earnings by more than a thousand times over."
"It won’t take up much of your time, probably just an hour at most!"
On purpose, Mr. Lu paused for a moment, eliciting eager queries from both the elder leader and Wang Xinsheng. The latter impatiently prompted, "Comrade Lu, what is the method? Stop keeping us in suspense."
Lu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Our respected leader is so talented, his calligraphy is simply worth its weight in gold. Who in this world does not know this? Who doesn’t take pride in owning a written treasure from our respected leader? When I received a letter from our respected leader, I cherished it as a precious artifact, wishing to frame it on the wall for daily admiration. Based on the valuation of gold per character, our respected leader is not our debtor. But well, having loaned so much money and materials, our respected leader should give some interest. How about delivering me another one of your written treasures?"
The elder leader and Wang Xinsheng both were taken aback. The latter thought to himself, "Brilliant! This is a truly ingenious plan."
That move was killer.
