Nangong Chen looked at the bag in Chen Dasheng's hand, full of doubts in his heart. At first, he thought Chen Dasheng wanted to buy something big. However, Chen Dasheng took him around the mall a few times and only bought two bottles of wine.
It’s just the kind that costs a few hundred dollars a bottle..
Nangong Chen was a little confused. Why did Chen Dasheng buy this thing? It couldn't be a gift, right? If it were a gift, would it cost several hundred yuan? With Chen Dasheng's identity, could he handle it?
"I can drink it myself, can't I?" Chen Dasheng concealed it casually. What he bought was not wine, but this packaging box. Although the two bottles of wine in his hand only cost more than a thousand yuan in total, the packaging was very exquisite.
It's a domestic brand, but it pays great attention to appearance, so Chen Dasheng took a liking to it at a glance.
Nangong Chen was not a fool, so he naturally knew that Chen Dasheng was covering it up. The confusion on his face did not fade away, and he wanted to ask more questions. Chen Dasheng immediately changed the topic and said, "By the way, Xiaochen, what gift did you prepare for your grandpa?"
"Me? I haven't prepared any gifts yet!" Nangong Chen's face suddenly turned bitter when he mentioned this, "I have to prepare gifts every year, and I don't bring duplicate ones. It was okay when I was a kid. Let's talk about it when the time comes.
It's okay if you say it's a happy day, and you can get red envelopes, but now, it's my family's birthday, and I'm a little scared!"
It turned out that this kid also had troubles. Chen Dasheng couldn't help but smile, "Tomorrow is the birthday party. You haven't prepared the gift yet. What will you do then?"
Nangong Chen gave a bitter smile, turned to look at Chen Dasheng, his eyes lit up, "Brother-in-law, how about you give me some advice?"
"Shall I give you an idea?" Looking at Nangong Chen's eager eyes, Chen Dasheng was a little stunned. He paused and said, "Okay, I will give you an idea. Then tell me, what does your grandfather like?"
The two of them walked towards the parking place. Nangong Chen thought about it carefully and said, "My grandfather is a martial arts fanatic. Apart from practicing martial arts in his life, the only one he likes is my grandma. But after my grandma passed away, the only one he liked was my grandma.
The only thing that makes grandpa interested is practicing martial arts. How can he like anything?"
"Think carefully!" Chen Dasheng said.
"Does playing chess count?" Nangong Chen thought for a while, "But grandpa is a bad chess player. He always wants people to let him play and refuses to admit defeat. As for the other things, I can't remember it!"
Chen Dasheng's lips curved, "In that case, let me give you an idea!"
"What's the idea?" Nangong Chen looked at Chen Dasheng expectantly.
Chen Dasheng said, "Just give him a chess set!"
"Isn't it?" The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. When Nangong Chen heard this, his face was full of disappointment, "How much can a set of chess be worth? Will you be laughed to death by then?"
Chen Dasheng said, "You are your grandfather's grandson. Even if you only give your grandfather a glass of boiled water, your grandfather will not be unhappy. As long as you make your grandfather happy, who else will dare to laugh at you?"
"That's true!" Nangong Chen pinched his chin and nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, let's buy it now. If I want to buy a pair, it's best to give it to grandpa."
"Oh, don't!" Chen Dasheng grabbed Nangong Chen and seemed to have something to say.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Chen looked at Chen Dasheng with confusion.
Chen Dasheng smiled and said, "What you bought is better than what you made yourself!"
"Shall I do it myself?" Nangong Chen scratched his head a little.
Chen Dasheng smiled and said nothing, and hooked his fingers at Nangong Chen. Nangong Chen came over curiously. Chen Dasheng didn't know what he said in Nangong Chen's ear. He saw Nangong Chen's eyes getting brighter and brighter.
.
"But, brother-in-law, what if grandpa thinks this gift hurts his self-esteem and wants to beat me up?" After hearing Chen Dasheng's whisper, Nangong Chen already had an idea in his mind, but he still had a little worry.
Chen Dasheng patted Nangong Chen on the shoulder and said, "Don't you know your grandpa yet? Just go ahead and do it, and make sure he likes it."
"Well, that's it! If grandpa doesn't like it, I'll just say that my brother-in-law taught me how to do it, haha, I'm a genius!" Nangong Chen grinned.
When Chen Dasheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to have such a brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, where are we going now?" Nangong Chen asked after getting in the car.
Chen Dasheng looked out the car window. It was still early. He thought for a while and said, "I heard that there is a Panjiayuan in the capital. Why don't you take me for a walk and see if I can pick up some treasures?"
"Stop being ridiculous!" Nangong Chen curled his lips and looked at Chen Dasheng jokingly, "Brother-in-law, I think you have read too many novels. If you come here earlier, you might be able to find some good stuff somewhere, but
Nowadays, they are all selling fake goods and deceiving outsiders. If you still want to pick up treasures, you might as well save your money and go home and have a good sleep."
Chen Dasheng shrugged, "Don't kill them all in one fell swoop. It's still early anyway, so we might as well go for a walk. It's a major feature of the capital, isn't it?"
"That's fine. Anyway, I listen to you today. Let's go for a walk and see if we can buy two chess books for grandpa!" Nangong Chen had no objection and said directly to the middle-aged uncle in the driver's seat, "Uncle De, go
Panjiayuan!”
"Okay, young master!" The uncle nodded, and the car merged into the vast traffic flow.
——
There are many people and cars in Beijing, which makes it much more prosperous than Chengdu. However, the road conditions today are pretty good, and it is not the rush hour, so the roads are very smooth.
"By the way, Xiaochen, I want to ask you something!" Chen Dasheng said to Nangong Chen in the car.
Nangong Chen looked at Chen Dasheng with some confusion, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter? Tell me!"
Chen Dasheng thought for a while and said, "That's right, I have a friend who was arrested by the Warrior Appraisal Bureau and the Academy of Science. I want to meet him, but I don't know if there is any way."
"Uh..." Nangong Chen paused when he heard the words, and frowned, "The Warrior Appraisal Bureau and the Academy of Sciences? Brother-in-law, your friend must have committed something, right?"
Although Nangong Chen is not old, he definitely knows much more than Chen Dasheng. The Warrior Appraisal Bureau and the Academy of Science are two departments that can be regarded as the right-hand man of the country. One has a group of powerful warriors, and the other is full of technological monsters.
, the two seem to be running counter to each other, but in fact they have always been interdependent. It allows these two departments to arrest people, and they do it at the same time. I don’t know how big of a deal this is!
So after hearing that Chen Dasheng's friends had been arrested by the two departments, Nangong Chen seemed particularly cautious.
From Nangong Chen's expression, Chen Dasheng could see some concerns. After thinking about it, he said, "We can't call them friends, but we just know each other. He is just an ordinary person. He may be carrying some secrets. Before
He was arrested for no apparent reason within a few days. It was only later that I found out that the person who arrested him was my sister. I promised a friend that I would get some information from her. I can’t keep my word. At least, I have to know who he is.
Is it still safe?”
"That's it!" The worry on Nangong Chen's face was not gone, so he thought for a while and said, "Brother-in-law, you don't know, we call the Warrior Appraisal Bureau and the Academy of Sciences privately the East Factory and the West Factory, then
Everything inside is absolutely confidential, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find out."
"Hey! You are the direct grandson of the Nangong family. With your status, isn't that enough?" Chen Dasheng said.
Nangong Chen gave a dry laugh and said, "Okay, okay, but grandpa has warned us a long time ago not to interfere in political affairs. I will take you to find someone. They should sell me face, but they will definitely report it to my dad later.
My dad will definitely beat me, brother-in-law, since that person can’t be considered your friend, I think it’s better to forget about it!”
"Forget it, I'll figure it out myself!" Chen Dasheng shook his head. He didn't want to force others to make things difficult for him. He just wanted to meet Liu Xuesong. This thing seemed easy, but it didn't seem to be that difficult!
Nangong Chen seemed to feel a little guilty. He hesitated and said, "Brother-in-law, if you just want to meet that person, there is nothing you can do!"
"Huh?" Chen Dasheng suddenly became energetic after hearing this.
Nangong Chen said, "My elder brother Nangong Chengfeng works in the Warrior Appraisal Bureau. After grandpa's birthday party is over, I will help you talk to him. He should be able to take you in."
