Chapter 737: Donated
"A bit of money shouldn’t get you so upset, just think of it as spending two or three million." Shen Jue didn’t expect Rong Qingqing to find out the price so quickly."For you, no matter the cost, it’s worth it. Nothing is more important than you. Spending a little money is nothing; I think it’s worth it. Even if it’s 1.6 billion, as long as I can afford it, I’d give it." Shen Jue didn’t understand why Rong Qingqing wanted to buy these things.
However, his leg, which healed overnight, must have something to do with Rong Qingqing’s magical touch.
As long as it’s for Rong Qingqing’s good, he wouldn’t blink an eye spending even 1.6 billion on a glass bead.
Having lost everything once, he knew better than anyone that money is sometimes a good thing, but not everything can be bought with it.
For Shen Jue, money is just a condition and tool for a comfortable life, while Rong Qingqing is more important than anything else to him.
Money can always be earned again, but he must protect Rong Qingqing no matter what.
"You really know how to talk." Rong Qingqing’s temper was soothed by just a few words from Shen Jue, and she was even made happy.
Shen Jue chuckled softly, "Don’t be mad, I have money."
Rong Qingqing sighed again, "I know you have money, but thinking about a broken dirt ball costing 1.6 billion makes me uneasy, and think about it, where do we put it once we bring it back? It’s so big; there’s no place for it at Shen Manor. Oh, right, since we’ve already bought this broken dirt ball, when can we have it shipped back to the country?"
"The procedure is complicated, not that quick. The fastest estimate is two to three months to complete all the paperwork," Shen Jue said, "As for where to put it, we’ll figure it out later. If you like it, we can buy a piece of land to place it; if it bothers you, we can donate it to the state."
"Just donate it to the state. Wherever I see that huge dirt ball, I can’t help but remember the 1.6 billion, which makes me uneasy," Rong Qingqing said without hesitation, "I’m just afraid even the state wouldn’t want this broken dirt ball."
"I doubt it’d be so despised. I paid a high price; the local government was eager to sell because of the money. Whether it has research value is still uncertain," Shen Jue said. "Since you decided to donate it to the state, I’ll have Lin Bufan handle contacting the relevant departments to arrange the donation."
"Sure, as long as the state accepts it." Rong Qingqing worried that the state might not even want it.
Thinking about it, Rong Qingqing still felt a pinch at 1.6 billion.
Wouldn’t it be better to spend 1.6 billion on food and drinks to donate to impoverished areas?
Sigh.
"How about freeing up some time, and the two of us go see the broken dirt ball in person, then take a picture with it? Since the money is spent, I should at least see the dirt ball you bought for me and have a photo, so later I can boast to our baby. Once the photo is taken, the 1.6 billion’s worth is settled, and then we donate it to the state. I probably wouldn’t want to see it a second time in this lifetime."
"Alright." Shen Jue agreed.
Since he brought Rong Qingqing back to the country, neither of them traveled again. She had just finished her confinement, and Shen Jue initially planned to find time to take her on a trip to relax.
Since she now had a place she wanted to visit, he would follow her wishes.
The 1.6 billion meteor landed on Weibo’s trending topics, hanging there for half a day. Perhaps Shen Jue was concerned it would upset Rong Qingqing, so he had someone take it down.
Due to Rong Qingqing’s sense of pride, the matter of Shen Jue spending 1.6 billion on a broken dirt ball for her was kept between the Shen Family and Lin Bufan; she didn’t tell anyone else.
