As soon as he got the key to the villa, Chen Ran naturally had the urge to check it out right away. However, Mr. Ma was still waiting for him to eat, so he had no choice but to take a car and rush to Mr. Ma's place first.
Time was so tight that Chen Ran didn't have time to carefully select some gifts, so he simply bought some on the roadside. Originally, he wanted to buy some fruit, but when he saw a seafood shop next to the fruit shop, he bought it.
Bringing some seafood is a nice change.
When the taxi arrived at the gate of the community, after paying the fare, Chen Ran got out of the car with his things. Because the community was a closed community, after a lot of interrogation, Chen Ran successfully entered the community.
"Mr. Chen, you're here..." The doorbell rang, and the person who opened the door for Chen Ran was the old man's nanny Zhang Ma.
Before Chen Ran could reply, Mr. Ma's voice came over: "Is it Xiao Ran? Come in quickly... Why are you still carrying something?"
The old man was sitting in the yard drinking tea. When he heard the doorbell, he knew that Chen Ran was here. However, when he saw Chen Ran coming in with something, he immediately became unhappy.
"Old man, I didn't buy this for you. When I wanted to eat seafood, I brought it with Zhang Ma to make it for me..." Chen Ran chuckled and handed the bag of seafood to Zhang Ma while looking at her.
Follow the old man and walk.
"You are right!"
Naturally, the old man would not really blame Chen Ran. He liked Chen Ran no matter how he looked at him. Let alone such a trivial matter, no matter how big it was, it would not be a big deal. He smiled happily and said: "Today
You can't eat it, the meal is already prepared and waiting for you. If you want to eat it, you have to wait until evening."
"Old man..." Hearing what the old man said, Chen Ran was quite embarrassed. The bidding for the villa was at one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already half past one. He probably had to wait a long time.
"I know you came here late, so you just finished it." The old man waved his hand, turned his eyes to the leather bag Chen Ran was carrying, and asked with interest: "Did you take pictures of the villa? Okay, Xiao Ran, don't say anything.
Damn it, just use 20 million to buy a villa. It seems that you have really made a fortune. Did you just pick it up by accident?"
Chen Ran looked at the old man dumbfounded. How could it be so easy to pick up 20 million by picking things up? But apart from the 10 million in the casino, the remaining 10 million were really picked up by chance. It just seemed like when he got the Moon Shadow Lamp.
, Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei were also present. Didn't they tell the old man?
Zhang Ma brought a chair to Chen Ran, and then asked the old man: "Mr. Ma, do you want to eat in the house or outside?"
"Let's eat outside." Mr. Ma was very interested. He asked Chen Ran to sit down and poured a cup of tea for Chen Ran.
After Chen Ran sat down, he told the old man about the moon shadow lamp. He thought that the old man should have heard about it from Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei, but he didn't expect that the old man didn't know.
The old man was shocked when he heard that Chen Ran had actually picked out the legendary Moon Shadow Lantern. Fortunately, he had a lot of experience, what had he never seen before?
I was just surprised for a moment, and then I sighed at how good things happened to Chen Ran.
When he heard that Chen Ran had transferred the Moon Shadow Lamp to Zhu Feng, the old man was very angry. He said that if such a good thing was given to a little lunatic, wouldn't it be ruined by the little lunatic? Chen Ran could only smile bitterly after hearing this. It seemed that the old man was right.
Zhu Feng's impression was not just a bad one.
Of course, in the end, the old man had to complain to Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei. The day after Chen Ran got the Moon Shadow Lantern, Liu Lei came to visit him but didn't mention a word about it.
This also led to Liu Lei being scolded by the old man for being heartless...
The food was already prepared. While Chen Ran was talking to the old man, Zhang Ma brought out seven or eight dishes. Chen Ran and the old man were eating and talking. Most of the time, the old man was asking questions.
Ran replied that the old man was asking about Chen Ran's own situation, such as Chen Ran's academic qualifications, etc...
Hearing that Chen Ran technically only had a high school education, the old man almost slapped the table and taught Chen Ran a lesson. Fortunately, after hearing Chen Ran's explanation, the old man was relieved.
Until the meal was finished, the old man didn't mention why he called Chen Ran here.
"Sit down and have a cup of tea first."
After eating, the old man greeted Chen Ran and then went back to the house.
Chen Ran sat here waiting, but he was a little curious about what the mysterious old man wanted to do with him.
The old man didn't let him wait any longer. After a while, he walked out with a big red book.
"Let's take a look."
Chen Ran opened the red book strangely. When he opened it, he was immediately surprised.
The red book in front of him is the certificate of the Jade Association. To be precise, it is his own certificate, which is the certificate of his joining the Jade Association. With this certificate, it means that he is a member of the Jade Association.
If it was just a certificate from the Jade Association, it would not surprise him so much. Although joining the Jade Association a few months ago was something he could not even imagine, but it is obviously different now.
, now he wants to join the Jade Association, it is naturally a very simple matter.
Strictly speaking, he is actually now a member of the Jade Association and a member of the Provincial Jade Association. The top three in the jade carving competition can join the Jade Association.
From this we can see how difficult it is to join the Jade Association. There were so many powerful players at that time, but only the top three could join the Jade Association.
Needless to say, the benefits of joining the Jade Association, especially for jade carvers, are proof of identity. I don’t know how many low-level jade carvers want to join the Jade Association, but the lowest standard for jade carvers to join the Jade Association is a third-level jade carver.
, and Chen Ran was only a third-level jade carver at this time, so one can imagine the difficulty.
The world is like this. Things that some people don't care about are exactly what some people dream of. But in the end, those who have such things are often the people who don't care.
Just like Chen Ran, for Chen Ran today, it no longer means much to join or not to join the Jade Association, because this level of identity no longer has any effect on him. The identity of the owner of the Eight Swords and Waves Carving Technique is enough.
Overshadowed everything.
Of course, what we are talking about here is just to join the Jade Association and become a member of the Jade Association, but what if it is more than just a member...
If he was just a member, Chen Ran would not be surprised. What surprised him was that the certificate actually said that he was appointed as the executive vice president of the Tianzhong City Jade Association.
Executive Vice President of the Jade Association!
He is an executive vice president, not an honorary one. The meanings of the two are obviously different.
The Jade Association and Liu Lei's Collection Association are obviously different. Liu Lei's Collection Association is just a non-governmental organization with no power. It also plays a role in demonstrating one's identity. When participating in treasure appraisal activities, when talking about this identity, one can be convinced.
The strength is also relatively high.
The Jade Association is different, because the Jade Association is not a non-governmental organization. It is a national semi-institutional unit and was established with the approval of the state. The president of the National Jade Association is at the level of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and can participate in the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
The presidents of the upper-level organizations of the Jade Association and the Jewelry Association are all at the level of chairman or vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, secretary-general of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and minister of the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources. One can imagine its importance.
When it comes to the National Jade Association, I only mention that the president of the Municipal Jade Association is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress and a representative of the National People's Congress.
And if he only serves as the honorary vice president or ordinary vice president, then Chen Ran will not be so surprised. The important thing is that he is now the executive vice president.
Even if Chen Ran doesn't know much about officialdom, he still understands that no matter how long it is, as long as the word "executive" is added, its meaning will be different.
The Jade Association seems to have only one president and one executive vice president. In some places, there may be two executive vice presidents. To put it bluntly, the executive vice president is basically the successor of the president.
"Old man, is this stuff real or fake?"
Chen Ran pointed at the certificate and asked with some uncertainty. He was really not sure whether this thing was real or fake. After all, even if the old man valued him, he would not have the power to directly make him the executive vice president. Although the old man
He is the president of the Tianzhong City Jade Association, but for the position of executive vice president, the old man only has the right to recommend, but not the right to appoint or remove. The appointment and removal power still lies with the Provincial Jade Association, and with his qualifications, the province cannot do it.
Let him take this position.
"You brat, can I get you a fake one?" After hearing Chen Ran's words, the old man immediately laughed and cursed angrily.
"Really, but with my qualifications, I am not qualified to sit in this position..." Chen Ran still felt a little incredible. After all, except for carving and appraising jade, he knew nothing else.
, and the role of the Jade Association is obviously more than just that.
Jade carving and jade appraisal are just one of the research and services provided by the Jade Association. In addition to these two, there are other services, and the business scope is even larger.
Needless to say, the scope of responsibilities is that the Jade Testing Center is under the management of the Jade Association, and it also has a supervisory role in the jewelry companies related to jade, etc...
"It's not up to you to decide whether you are qualified or not. Okay, stop being coy. It took me a lot of effort to get you from the province. Don't get excited yet. Although you are now the executive deputy
I have become the president, but it is still a fictitious position. When you pass the test with me, you will be officially taken over. So, your task now is to practice with me for a period of time, and master all the things you need to know as soon as possible.
If you can't do it, then you, the executive vice-president, will be of no use..."
Mr. Ma arranged such an identity for Chen Ran, but it was also for Chen Ran's good. With this identity, Chen Ran has transformed from a grassroots level into a person with status and status. From now on, he will have the ability to enter and leave any place.
This level of identity will be much more convenient. Another point is that although the old man's body has almost recovered after Chen Ran's treatment, after experiencing such a fluctuation, his heart is old and he doesn't want to travel around the country.
Now that I have the intention to resign from my position so that I can have some leisure time, arranging such an identity for Chen Ran can be regarded as helping Chen Ran to gain the position before retiring.
"Old man, thank you very much."
If Chen Ran still can't figure out the old man's thoughts at this time, then he can only hit the wall. The old man obviously trained him as his successor. With his qualifications, he must have made great efforts to sit in this position.
.
Chen Ran knew very well the importance of this position to him, so at this moment he felt extremely grateful to the old man...
