After hanging up Cao Huiyao's call, Chen Ran was a little dazed. After a long moment, he shook his head and let out a long breath... The landlady, a female police officer, is indeed not in Zhongdu, but at the Public Security Party School in Beijing for a three-month internship.
Further education.
Knowing where the policewoman's landlord was, Chen Ran finally had some confidence in his heart. This feeling was naturally different. When he didn't know anything, he always felt as if he had lost something. Now that he knows
When I read the letter from the policewoman and the landlady, it was like a lost thing was suddenly found.
The policewoman and the landlord have news, where is Xiaoyu?
Sighing lightly and shaking his head, Chen Ran felt that he seemed a little greedy. Now that he already had the school beauty, why bother thinking about other things...
Thinking of the school beauty, Chen Ran suddenly missed her very much. He missed her very much. Both the policewoman and the landlady and Yan Ruyu seemed to be living in their own world. Only the school beauty could make him feel like he was living in a world of his own.
In his world.
I picked up my cell phone and was about to call the school beauty. I just looked at the time and felt that the school beauty should be in class, so I didn't call her. I just sent a text message asking her if my little girl was in class.
The reason why people are human is because they are emotional animals. Chen Ran is not a glib person, but in some circumstances, he can't help but say some disgusting things, just like now.
The school beauty could acquiesce in calling Chen Ran, but she was shy and reserved and could not use the same title. The school beauty responded quickly. Chen Ran replied as soon as he sent it, saying that he was reading in the library, and then another text message was sent.
Come here, what are you doing...
Chen Ran thought about how the school beauty secretly sent text messages. He was in a good mood and couldn't help teasing her. It wasn't until the school beauty replied that she was disgusted that he stopped texting her. It was already June and it was about to happen.
The final exam was coming, and Chen Ran couldn't bear to disturb her study, but she didn't know how the school beauty could still calm down and continue reading. She was stunned while holding the textbook and looking at it...
After finishing the chat with the school beauty, Chen Ran collected his feelings and ran to the room to search for information on the Internet. Currently, he was short of three sets of Flower God Cups if he wanted to collect them, but those three were also the most difficult ones.
Found it.
First, the Kangxi cups scattered among the people have been almost completely plundered by him after he collected them during this period. They are still so easy to find. Another point is that among the three Flower God Cups, there is a hibiscus cup and a narcissus cup.
cup.
The Hibiscus Cup is the rarest cup after the August Osmanthus Cup, and the Narcissus Cup is the rarest cup after the Osmanthus Cup and the Hibiscus Cup. These two cups originally existed only infrequently, but now they were plundered by him.
I don’t know if any of them still exist.
After searching for information on the Internet for a while, he didn't get any clues. Chen Ran had no choice but to pick up his mobile phone and open the phone book to call and inquire one by one. The result was that there were no clues. Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei both told him a piece of news.
It's just that what they both told him was the clue that there was only one Flower God Cup, and in his estimation, they were talking about the same person.
Although Chen Ran also expected to make a lot of money from the Flower God Cup, it was not what Mr. Bai had guessed, so he had no intention of taking over the Lotus Cup.
After contacting everyone who could be contacted, there was no other news. Chen Ran could only shake his head helplessly. Now he really had a headache. But at this time, he received a message from home.
Good news.
The good news is that after half a month of testing and forging, Master Wu from the sword factory finally successfully created two Kunwu knives and one Kunwu sword.
"Brother Chen, what have you been busy with recently? I don't want to contact you. By the way, Brother Chen, are you already working in the Jade Association? Don't forget to leave a message for me when the time comes.
There’s a quota.”
In view of the fact that Zhu Feng made several calls in succession to inquire about the sword factory, after getting the news, Chen Ran immediately called Zhu Feng. When the call was connected, before he spoke, Zhu Feng started talking about jade.
Association matters.
"Brother Feng, to tell you the truth, I still don't know where the door of the Jade Association opens..."
Chen Ran chuckled and said, what he said is true. Although the old man has nodded, he has not been to the Jade Association until now. When he returns to Tianzhong this time, he really has to go and have a look.
Otherwise, I'm afraid it will make the old man unhappy.
Chen Ran's words made Zhu Feng laugh: "Brother, you are not qualified to be the president. Among the large and small associations in our city, the most famous association is the Jade Association. Although I am not in the city, brother
I'm here, but I heard them all talking about you as the president, and it turned out that you were fine, but you just didn't show up for a long time..."
Chen Ran smiled bitterly, then shook his head: "Brother Feng, are you not in the city?"
"Yeah, brother, I'm at the port now. There's something wrong here. I'll come over and take care of it. What's up? Brother, are you in trouble?" Zhu Feng also heard that Chen Ran was looking for something to do with him.
"It's nothing, it's just that this is not something you keep calling the sword factory to ask about..."
Before Chen Ran finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Feng's voice: "The sword is out of the furnace. Brother, let me say it first. I will go back right away. You have to keep it for me."
"Brother Feng, I still count on you for the business of my sword factory. How could I not keep it for you?" Chen Ran said with a chuckle. He didn't expect Zhu Feng to be so eager for Kunwu Sword. This time
I heard that the Kunwu Sword was released and I was going to run back immediately.
Chen Ran was naturally quite satisfied with Zhu Feng's reaction. If Zhu Feng was so eager, then the others would definitely not be far behind. Needless to say, the business would be done by then. Although the money the sword factory would make in the short term would definitely not be as good as him.
The Huashen cups he collected over a period of time are profitable, but this is a long-term matter. After all, the sword factory is his first business, of course, excluding the Chen Family Restaurant. This can be regarded as an industry, although it is not very
big.
After making an agreement with Zhou Jianyun to return to Tianzhong City, Chen Ran only wanted to make money and make enough money. No matter what, after Zhou Jianyun returned, he had to be able to protect himself. What should he do after making money?
There was no specific charter, but after a conversation with He Zhenhua, Chen Ran had a certain idea of how to take his own path.
No matter how many mistakes he picks up outside or how much money he makes, he cannot give up investing in the industry. Even if he cannot make any money, he still has to do it. When his industry becomes big, his influence will be great.
Even if Zhou Jianyun came back and wanted to take revenge on him, he would never touch him.
Of course, this is assuming he has enough influence.
But now, his influence is obviously not enough, or even has almost no influence. His influence in the city is probably Ma Zhiyuan's backer, but this backer is still hidden at present. He and Ma Zhiyuan
Outsiders basically don’t know about this relationship, so naturally they have little influence.
Although he has been busy during this period, Chen Ran still has not forgotten that he and Zhou Jianyun have an agreement. Zhou Jianyun said that he will return in a year, but no one can guarantee that Zhou Jianyun will not suddenly come back, so his time is still
Very urgent.
Of course, it's not just for Zhou Jianyun. With the first Zhou Jianyun, who can guarantee that there won't be a second Zhou Jianyun.
"Haha, no problem, no problem, I'll take care of it, brother." After hearing Chen Ran's words, Zhu Feng laughed and agreed without even thinking about it. For him, this was not a big problem at all, or even just a matter of fact.
A matter of words.
After hanging up Zhu Feng's call, Chen Ran let out a long breath. Zhu Feng was not in the city now, so he had to wait for him to come back. He shook his head and was about to put his cell phone in his pocket when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Chen Ran was a little surprised that the call was actually from Mr. Yang.
"Brother, do you still need that kind of cup?" The strange old man's first sentence made Chen Ran's heart skip a beat. Without thinking about it, he quickly replied: "Mr. Yang, do you have any more?"
Chen Ran was worried, but he didn't expect the strange old man to take the initiative to bring him good news, which naturally made him very happy. He just didn't know if it was the three cups he was missing. He was really unsure about this, but finally
That's good news.
The result is indeed good news. The strange old man said that his good friend, the one who transferred the Flower God Cup to Chen Ran last time, helped find out that a friend collected two Flower God Cups, and only one of the two was a rose cup.
, there is a narcissus cup.
Although the rose cup is not what Chen Ran needs, the narcissus cup is what Chen Ran needs, so after the strange old man finished speaking, Chen Ran immediately replied that he wanted it.
This can be regarded as an unexpected surprise. Chen Ran did not expect that he accidentally saved the strange old man once, and the strange old man actually helped him so much. Not to mention Crazy Yang’s Seven Flower God Cups, and later he took the initiative to help him.
He collected three, and now he has collected two more, although only one is useful.
Chen Ran thought about it and agreed with the strange old man that he would go directly to Tianjin.
After hanging up the strange old man's call, Chen Ran didn't waste any time. He packed up and went out. He took a car directly to Zhongdu Airport and got on the plane. When he arrived in Tianjin, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
After leaving the airport, I called the strange old man. The strange old man said that he had made an appointment with the friend to wait at his house.
Chen Ran took the car directly to the strange old man's house because he was familiar with the route.
Since the strange old man and his friend had already reached an agreement, the process was very successful. Chen Ran only needed to see if the cup was right. During this period, he had come into contact with so many Kangxi Flower God Cups that Chen Ran didn't need his eyesight.
It is said that you can tell the authenticity from the fake without using the energy aperture.
These two flower god cups were indeed genuine. Chen Ran accepted both cups. After all, he only had two in his collection. He couldn't accept one, so he left one for him. The two cups cost a total of 850,000.
.
When transferring money, Chen Ran called Mr. Bai and asked him for his bank account number. At noon, Bai Lei shouted that he was going to eat, but he forgot to pay Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai owns three Flower God Cups, plus Bai Lei's rose cup, the total is 1.5 million.
Chen Ran had dinner at the strange old man's house. It was already so late. Chen Ran didn't refuse the strange old man's stay. The strange old man didn't talk much. After dinner, he took Chen Ran to play chess with him. .
Chen Ran smiled bitterly. He was still at the stage of chess where he knew how to play chess with the bishop moving across the field, the rook moving in a straight line, the horse jumping into the sun, and the cannon flying over the mountain. He didn't fully understand the rules, so how could he play? Fortunately, this thing is not difficult to learn. .
At the beginning, needless to say, Chen Ran was still in a state of exploration. The strange old man's chess skills should be quite good. Not to mention other things, just his magnanimity in playing chess made people impressed, calm and calm, and killing. Although his fighting spirit was strong, it was different from Cao Guoxiong's decisive killing. He was like a battlefield commander, arranging troops and setting up tactics step by step, but he was a little weird and cunning, making it hard to guard against.
This made Chen Ran suddenly realize that the identity of the strange old man was more complicated than he thought. Before this, from the strange old man's residence, Chen Ran felt that the conditions in the strange old man's family were good.
But looking at it now, it is obvious that it is not just as simple as the good conditions at home. The strange old man must have been a powerful figure in the past.
When he played the first game, Chen Ran basically mastered how to play chess. By the second game, he was almost proficient. Although he still didn't know the layout, he could avoid its sharp edges in a leisurely manner. Protect yourself first and then talk about it.
By the third set, Chen Ran had already entered the state, and was able to arrange his troops and kill the strange old man back on defense.
After losing three games in a row, he actually beat the old man in the fourth game.
The strange old man's chess skills are good, but his chess quality is obviously not very good. If he loses, he cheats and regrets his moves. As a result, he regrets many times after playing this game. Chen Ran kills all his chess pieces and leaves nothing behind. A single veteran has no choice but to admit defeat...
The strange old man was surprised at first that Chen Ran could not play chess at first and now he is so good at it. But after considering that Chen Ran was a worldly expert, he was not so surprised anymore.
After getting up in the morning and washing up, Chen Ran went for a run with the strange old man, played Tai Chi in the garden with the strange old man, and ate Tianjin Goubuli steamed buns with the strange old man on the street. Although the two rarely spoke. , but the old man and the young man have a very tacit understanding when they are together.
After dinner, Chen Ran was about to leave. The strange old man was obviously a little reluctant to leave, but he didn't say anything. He only asked Chen Ran to come to his place to play two more times in his free time.
After fully agreeing, Chen Ran rushed to the airport with the two cups he collected. At 11 o'clock in the morning, he arrived at Zhongdu Airport.
After leaving the airport, on the way back to the apartment, Chen Ran received a call from Xiaoyu.
[Sorry for the late update. I got up yesterday afternoon and had a fever and was given fluids. Although the fever went away, I still felt uncomfortable and couldn’t sit down. I went to give two more bottles of water at night. I’m sorry...]
