Beijing is no longer so hot in September. Lying under the umbrella by the swimming pool, Zhuang Rui chatted with Qin Xuanbing every sentence, feeling particularly peaceful in his heart.
Zhuang Rui's two-year-old children are much taller than other children of the same age, and they look like three or four-year-old children. This is also the result of Zhuang Rui often using spiritual energy to help them groom their bodies.
The two little guys can already play around in the swimming pool. With the protection of King Kong, and Ouyang Wan standing on the shore with a worried look on her face, there is no need to worry that the little guys are in danger.
"Husband, you won't run around again this time, right?"
Qin Xuanbing peeled a grape and handed it to Zhuang Rui's mouth. After the last time she and Zhuang Rui encountered a pirate attack, Qin Xuanbing realized that Zhuang Rui's outing was not as safe as imagined.
The first time she went to Myanmar, she was always a little worried.
"What? You want me to retire?"
After Zhuang Rui ate the grapes on his lips, he kissed Qin Xuanbing's little hand. Although they were an old couple, the thin-skinned Qin Xuanbing still glared at Zhuang Rui in shame.
"If I don't go out anymore, I will stay at home with my wife and children..."
Zhuang Rui's words were a bit insincere. He glanced at Qin Xuanbing secretly and then said: "Uh... even if I go out, I will take you all with me!"
The family's business has been integrated, and there is basically no need for Zhuang Rui to ask. Zhuang Rui does have plans to go to sea. There are several shipwrecks with abundant spiritual energy near the China Sea.
You must know that winter temperatures are cold and not suitable for offshore operations, so the best time to salvage sunken ships is from the beginning of spring to August or September. After this time, you have to wait until next year.
This means that Zhuang Rui's luxury salvage ship basically has to rest for nearly half a year. If Zhuang Rui does not make good use of it, he will be sorry for the tens of millions of dollars spent on the salvage ship a year.
"I knew you couldn't stay idle..."
Qin Xuanbing glanced at Zhuang Rui angrily, then peeled off another grape and handed it over. She knew that at Zhuang Rui's age, it was time to start a career, so she didn't really blame Zhuang Rui in her heart.
"Okay, wife, I promise not to go anywhere these days, okay..."
Zhuang Rui shamelessly put his arm around Qin Xuanbing's waist, causing Qin Xuanbing to whisper: "Mom and the child are here, so you can't restrain yourself..."
"Uh, then... let's go tonight, damn, whose phone number is it?"
When Zhuang Rui was exchanging feelings with his wife, the phone on the round table next to him rang.
"Huh? Brother Lei..."
Zhuang Rui picked up the phone and looked at it, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. This brother usually has a lot of things to do and rarely has time to call himself. He immediately answered the phone: "Brother Lei, what's the matter? You rarely call me...
"
"Xiao Rui, I have something to discuss with you. Are you free now?"
Ouyang Lei spoke with great energy. He has been in poor health for a long time. As his deputy, he has relatively more work. However, for Ouyang Lei, who is in his forties, work is the catalyst that allows him to work hard every day.
Full of enthusiasm.
"What's up?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Could it be that he had arranged Ouyang Lei's words in Myanmar and he knew about it? In other words, if Ouyang Lei knew that he said "that" was not good, he would definitely not get any good results.
"Yes, I have something to do with you. It's not convenient for you to come to the Military Commission..."
Ouyang Lei pondered for a while on the other end of the phone, and then said: "Well, aren't you working as a researcher at the Institute of Archeology of Beijing University? Let's meet there in an hour and a half..."
"Hey, Brother Lei, do you know this little thing?"
Zhuang Rui was a little proud when he spoke. You must know that researchers at the Institute of Archeology of Beijing University enjoy the treatment of professors. Zhuang Rui's senior brother Dr. Ren is only an associate researcher now.
Since the advent of Zhuang Rui's fixed light sword proved the existence of the top ten famous swords in ancient times, and later the salvage of a sunken ship from the Song Dynasty, which played a prominent role in the research of the history of the Tang and Song Dynasties in China, Peking University made an exception and admitted him, a guy who had just graduated from graduate school.
, promoted to the level of researcher.
The 29-year-old researcher may be the first one at Beijing University or even in the country. Zhuang Rui still cares about this professional title. After all, Fatty Jin is almost fifty and is just an associate researcher at the Palace Museum.
However, this matter was passed not long ago, and Zhuang Rui only received the news yesterday. He did not expect that Ouyang Lei would find out so soon.
Ouyang Lei held a high position and spoke with an unconscious dignity, which made Zhuang Rui subconsciously agree. When he wanted to ask something again, Ouyang Lei had already hung up the phone.
It was definitely not a small matter for Ouyang Lei to call him in person, but he didn't explain what it was, which made Zhuang Rui feel as if he had been scratched by a cat.
Zhuang Rui hung up the phone, looked at Qin Xuanbing apologetically, and said, "Xuanbing, I'm sorry, Brother Lei called and said that he had something to do with me and that he was leaving soon..."
"Okay, let's go, don't forget what you said, you will take our mother and daughter with you when you go out..." Qin Xuanbing has lived in Beijing for more than two years and is now a proficient in Beijing movies.
"Don't worry, it's for sure!"
Zhuang Rui jumped up and suddenly kissed Qin Xuanbing on the face. By the time Qin Xuanbing screamed, she had already disappeared.
…
Since Peng Fei's daughter-in-law Zhang Qian is due to give birth in the next two days, and Li Zhen is far away in Myanmar, Zhuang Rui drove to Beijing University by himself. When he arrived at the Institute of Archeology, he found two people with clothes on their waists at the door.
Soldier with pistol standing there.
Zhuang Rui knew that Ouyang Lei's current military position was enough to reach such a security level, so he didn't care at the moment. After verifying his identity, he walked into the research institute.
"Brother Lei, if you need anything, just call me. Why are you here?"
In the hall outside the institute, Ouyang Lei was alone and looking at the specimens placed around the wall with a curious look on his face.
Ouyang Lei answered the question and pointed at the human skulls and said, "Xiao Rui, this is what you usually study?"
"Ahem, Brother Lei, those things are specimens excavated from tombs, and they are temporarily borrowed for research on the restoration of the appearance of these ancient humans..."
After Zhuang Rui finished his answer, he looked at Ouyang Lei with a puzzled expression and asked: "Fourth brother, you didn't come to me to popularize scientific knowledge, did you? Why are you asking these questions?"
Zhuang Rui really couldn't figure it out. With his relationship with Ouyang Lei, he could discuss anything at home. I wonder what Ouyang Lei's appointment at the Archaeological Research Institute meant today?
"These things... are really interesting. By the way, Xiao Rui, you salvaged a sunken Song Dynasty ship some time ago, right? I heard that it was salvaged from a depth of more than a thousand meters, and even foreign media reported it?"
Ouyang Lei's jumping thoughts made it difficult for Zhuang Rui to keep up. Who are these? Why is it related to the sunken ship again? Does the country want to hand over the goods from the sunken ship?
Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui said: "Brother Lei, I spent a lot of money to salvage that ship. If the country can spend so much money, it can be salvaged. It's no big deal..."
The meaning of Zhuang Rui's words is very obvious. The brothers salvaged it with their own money. The country wants to spend its own money to salvage it, so don't try to take advantage of me.
"Hey, you kid, what are you thinking about? I just came to you to ask for that broken boat?"
Who is Ouyang Lei? Of course he understood the meaning of Zhuang Rui's words. He pointed at Zhuang Rui and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your little wealth looks like a lot, but it's not much in fact. The country will not take advantage of you."
That's cheap..."
"You said you didn't want to take advantage of me. I borrowed a helicopter to transport some gold, but you took half of it away..." Zhuang Rui muttered, but not loudly, because it was of his own volition at the time.
When Ouyang Lei was about to say something, he looked up and saw four more people walking in from the door, so he shut his mouth. However, Zhuang Rui stood up and greeted the person walking in front: "Meng Rui."
Teacher, aren’t we taking a break today? Why are you here too?”
Zhuang Rui didn't recognize the people who came in with Professor Meng, but judging from their demeanor, they should be at the leadership level. At least they all have a leader's belly. On the contrary, Ouyang Lei, a real general, does not have a general's belly caused by being fat.
.
Zhuang Rui felt more and more strange. It seemed that Ouyang Lei had something to do with archeology when he was looking for his own business, and he didn't choose this place rashly.
"Dean Liu called me and said something happened..."
Before Professor Meng finished speaking, the leader-looking person behind him came towards Ouyang Lei. When he was four or five meters away, he stretched out his hands and said, "Are you Director Ouyang? My surname is Liu.
, just call me Xiao Liu..."
The performance of Dean Liu made Zhuang Rui feel chilly, "Damn, he's already in his fifties or sixties, and when he met Ouyang Lei, he actually called himself Xiao Liu. Aren't you just pretending to be young?"
"Dean Liu, hello, please sit down, everyone should sit down..."
Although Ouyang Lei was wearing casual clothes today, he was very impressive. With a few casual words, he put himself in a dominant position.
After Ouyang Lei sat down, he said to the person next to Dean Liu: "Lao Yu, your minister is quite assertive, isn't he?"
After hearing what Ouyang Lei said, the old man stood up quickly and said respectfully: "Director Ouyang, as you said, if he knew it was you, the minister would definitely arrive as soon as possible, but... this
Although it’s not a small matter, it’s not something you need to worry about, right?”
"This matter involves my brother, it would be better for me to talk about it..."
Ouyang Lei waved his hand to signal Lao Yu to sit down, turned to look at Zhuang Rui, and said: "Xiao Rui, Lao Yu is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Transportation. Let's get to know each other..."
