At the Qin family, Qin Huairu looked at Mr. Qi in front of her and asked with a smile: "Is this what you want?"

Old Qi also smiled and nodded: "What you have in your hand has been verified to be the rare metal rhodium!"

“I’ve been working on this all day!”

"The relevant leaders attach great importance to this matter. I hope you can hand it over to the country!"

"Of course, it's not handed over in vain, we will give you corresponding compensation!"

"But, Comrade Qin Huairu, you also know that this is a difficult period for the country. I hope you can understand!"

Qin Huairu understood, this is wanting something but not paying for it! How can this be possible!

"Then can you tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"

Mr. Qi thought for a moment and said, "It's like this. The superiors have decided to give out 10,000 yuan. What do you think?"

"Our research institute simply can't afford any more!"

Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat.

Oops, it seems I was wrong! It’s not that they don’t want to pay, they just can’t give too much!

But ten thousand yuan is not a small amount of money!

Qin Huairu didn't know the market value of the metal rhodium in her hand.

This metal is generally about three or four times more valuable than gold according to the market price.

Due to its scarcity and the fact that it is a military-controlled metal, it is simply not available on the market and is priced without demand.

That is, those research institutions can purchase small quantities through special channels for use in research work.

Qin Huairu had a total of seven kilograms in her hand, which, if calculated by grams, would be seven kilograms. A small yellow croaker weighs fifty grams and can be exchanged for two hundred yuan.

With this calculation, the lowest price of rhodium per gram will not be less than ten yuan.

What she has in her hand can be exchanged for at least 70,000 yuan!

The research institute where Mr. Qi worked only gave 10,000 yuan.

This is not even close.

Mr. Qi's heart was in his throat now. He was really afraid that Qin Huairu would not agree.

As for Qin Huairu not understanding these things, he was able to deceive the other party, but he was too disdainful to do such a thing.

Qin Huairu frowned and thought for a long time before she spoke: "Mr. Qi, I believe in your vision and experience. Please tell me how much this thing is worth!"

Her tone was sincere and her eyes revealed a thirst for knowledge.

"I don't know much about this, I just know a little bit, and I hope to learn from you."

After hearing this, Mr. Qi smiled slightly, and he seemed satisfied with Qin Huairu's attitude.

"Haha, this is all about mutual learning. The rhodium metal you hold in your hand is a very important military controlled metal. It is widely used in aerospace, shipbuilding and other fields. Because of this, its value is not low!"

Mr. Qi paused and then explained, "Let me put it this way. The value of this metal is about three to four times that of the same weight of gold! Now you should understand, right?"

After hearing this, Qin Huairu suddenly understood and a knowing smile appeared on her face.

"I see. I understand, Mr. Qi. I really admire your focus and passion for research. To be honest, these things are not of much use to me."

"If I can provide you with some help, that would be great. After all, everyone needs help from others sometimes."

"Okay, it's 10,000 yuan as you said. That's 10,000 yuan! I won't argue with you."

Qin Huairu said in a firm tone, then slowly stood up, walked to the bed, bent down, and took out the mysterious box under the bed.

Her movements seemed a little laborious, but her eyes revealed determination and resolve.

"Mr. Qi, you can take the things away! This is what you are looking for."

After saying that, Qin Huairu carefully placed the box in front of Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi obviously did not expect Qin Huairu to hand over the box so readily. He looked at the woman in front of him with a little surprise, thinking to himself: "This Qin Huairu is really a straightforward person."

"Okay, Comrade Qin Huairu, I believe that soon you will be extremely proud of your decision today."

With a smile on his face, Mr. Qi took out thick stacks of banknotes from his bag and placed them neatly on the table.

"Comrade Qin Huairu, please count the money and make sure the amount is correct."

"No need, I trust you!" Qin Huairu answered without hesitation.

After the main business was settled, Mr. Qi and Qiao Mu said goodbye to Qin Huairu and then left the Qin family together.

Qin Huairu looked at their backs as they left, and a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

"Oh my God, I'm so scared! I have to be extra careful in the future. As the saying goes, a man is innocent until he is guilty of possessing a treasure. We must not let those with bad intentions take advantage of us." Qin Huairu muttered to herself, and at the same time secretly warned herself in her heart that she must be extra cautious in the future.

After collecting the money given by Mr. Qi, Qin Huairu began to change her clothes. She changed into a pink silk pajamas, and the soft and smooth touch made her feel a lot more relaxed.

However, just as she was about to enjoy the tranquility, there was a sudden knock on the door! Qin Huairu frowned slightly, and she glanced at the wall clock, feeling a little dissatisfied.

"It's already so late, who else would come?" She muttered to herself, but asked impatiently, "Who?"

A familiar voice came from outside the door: "Sister Qin, it's me!"

Hearing this voice, Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel disgusted. It turned out to be Xu Damao. What good could this guy come to see her in the middle of the night? She stood at the door and didn't open it immediately. Instead, she rolled her eyes, wondering what Xu Damao's intention was to come so late.

"Xu Damao, is there anything wrong?" Qin Huairu's tone was obviously unhappy.

"Ah, Sister Qin, there is indeed something." Xu Damao responded from outside the door.

Qin Huairu still stood there, with no intention of opening the door. She secretly thought that Xu Damao must have bad intentions by coming here so late. Maybe he wanted to take advantage of her, or he had some other ulterior motives.

"Xu Damao, it's too late. If you have anything to say, let's go to the factory tomorrow. I've already gone to bed." Qin Huairu decided to send him away first to avoid any trouble. After all, receiving an unexpected guest late at night was really worrying.

Xu Damao didn't seem to give up. He continued, "Sister Qin, this matter is urgent and can't wait until tomorrow. Please open the door and let's talk it out face to face."

Qin Huairu became more alert after hearing this. She didn't want to believe Xu Damao's words easily. What if it was a trap? So, she responded firmly: "No, it's so late. Can't we wait until tomorrow to talk about it? You should go back quickly and don't disturb my rest."

After saying that, Qin Huairu no longer paid attention to Xu Damao outside the door, turned around and went back to the bedroom, ready to continue sleeping.

She thought to herself, no matter what Xu Damao's intention was, she must not let him succeed.

Protecting your own safety is the most important thing. As for Xu Damao's matter, let's deal with it tomorrow.
