Tang Ling didn't realize what Lin Xiao was talking about. She followed Lin Xiao's gaze and suddenly realized when she saw the small object placed on the counter.
"Oh, Mr. Lin, what are you talking about? It was bought from an antique market in another city by my father when he was doing business. It is said to be an antique, but it is just a fragment."
With that said, Tang Ling got up and walked over, bringing the small object in front of Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao took it with both hands and looked at it in front of his eyes.
This is a small sword.
It is called a small sword because it is really small. The hilt is only five centimeters long and the broken blade is only about ten centimeters long. It is indeed very small.
At the same time, it is also a broken sword.
1
The sword was in tatters, the hilt was broken, and the blade was incomplete, but the original appearance of the sword could be vaguely seen from the broken sword.
This ancient bronze sword is small but heavy.
The most important thing is that Lin Xiao felt a very strange feeling when he held it in his hands.
"This sword..."
Before Lin Xiao finished speaking, Tang Ling said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, if you like it, I will give it to you."
Lin Xiao was indeed curious.
He has seen many weapons, such as long swords, short swords, thin swords, broad swords, broad swords, two-handed swords, etc. He has seen no less than a thousand types of sword weapons.
The shape of this ancient bronze sword is very simple, and it can be said that it has no special features.
But the strange feeling in my heart could not go away.
"Give it to me? How can this be done? I can't just accept gifts from others."
Lin Xiao said seriously.
"It's okay, this is not something from before. My father said that he bought it for only one hundred alliance coins, and what he bought back at that time were two pieces. One piece he kept for himself and the other piece was given to him.
I have made friends, so this is not an important item."
Tang Ling said quickly, and looked at Lin Xiao expectantly.
But Lin Xiao still didn't accept her kindness.
"No, I still can't accept it."
Yuan Zheng on the side also saw that Lin Xiao really liked this ancient bronze sword, so he suggested: "Commander, you can buy it."
Yuan Zheng's reminder made Lin Xiao suddenly realize.
He smiled and nodded to Yuan Zheng, then looked at Tang Ling and said, "I really want this ancient bronze sword. Why don't I buy it? How much is up to you."
Tang Ling was stunned for a moment, and then she burst into laughter.
"Mr. Lin, just take it -"
"no!"
Lin Xiao straightened his face and put on a very serious look.
There was no other way, so Tang Ling had no choice but to say: "Then just one dollar. I'll sell it to you for one dollar. Are you satisfied?"
But Lin Xiao still shook his head.
"Your father spent one hundred Union coins on the purchase. If I bought him for one dollar, wouldn't it be criticized by others? What's more, antiques and other things will become more and more precious as time goes by, so...
.”
Tang Ling finally gained a deeper understanding of Lin Xiao's seriousness.
However, her affection for Lin Xiao became even stronger.
The commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army should be such a meticulous, strict and serious man!
"I'll pay 10,000 Chinese dollars to buy it, and you can write a transaction certificate."
Lin Xiao said to Tang Ling.
Tang Ling had no choice but to take a pen and paper, write down a transaction certificate, and also signed her name on the certificate.
Lin Xiao also wrote down his name, then took out his mobile phone and transferred 10,000 Chinese dollars to Tang Ling.
After holding this ancient bronze sword out of the Tang family gate, Lin Xiao felt very happy.
Yuan Zheng, on the other hand, felt very curious.
"Commander, is there anything special about this ancient bronze sword?"
Lin Xiao thought for a while and replied: "It's indeed a bit special, but I don't know how to describe it. I just have a vague feeling in my heart."
"intuition?"
Yuan Zheng asked again.
"You can understand it that way."
Lin Xiao nodded.
Although it is really unwise to spend 10,000 Chinese dollars to buy an ancient bronze sword that seems useless just based on intuition.
But Lin Xiao is not short of money.
Lin Xiao currently owns two large companies, Lanqiu Company and Lin Group, with an annual revenue of several billion.
A mere ten thousand Chinese dollars is really nothing.
After walking far away, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered something.
"Tang Ling just said that there are two fragments of this ancient bronze sword. One was bought by us, and the other was given by Tang Guorong to a friend of his?"
Upon hearing Lin Xiao's question, Yuan Zheng nodded immediately.
"Yes, that's right, Miss Tang did say that just now."
"Then ask her some other time and buy the other fragment."
Lin Xiao said with a smile.
...
...
The next afternoon.
Lin Xiao was handling official business in the commander-in-chief's office when Yuan Zheng suddenly walked in.
"Commander, Miss Tang wants to see you."
Miss Tang?
The Miss Tang Yuan Zheng was talking about must be Tang Ling.
Lin Xiao was just about to ask her about the whereabouts of another fragment of the ancient bronze sword, when she suddenly came to him. What a coincidence.
"Let her in."
"yes."
A few minutes later, Tang Ling stood in Lin Xiao's commander-in-chief's office.
Today, Tang Ling was dressed very plainly. She was wearing a light yellow dress without any extraneous decorations, and she was not wearing any accessories such as earrings, necklaces, or rings.
I have to say that this made Lin Xiao feel very comfortable.
Lin Xiao doesn't like women who dress themselves up like embroidered pillows. He likes simplicity, simplicity and neatness.
Tang Ling's dressing up was exactly what he wanted.
Seeing Lin Xiao's admiring glances at her, Tang Ling was really happy.
After getting along with him for this period of time, she had a good feel for Lin Xiao's character and basically understood his preferences.
So today I came to see Lin Xiao. She dressed up according to Lin Xiao's preferences, and now it seems that the effect is really good!
"Commander Lin, I'm coming to see you today..."
"Just call me Mr. Lin."
Lin Xiao said casually.
He and Tang Ling were not in a superior-subordinate relationship, and she was still a young woman who had just turned 20.
Therefore, being called Commander Lin by such a person made him feel a little awkward.
Tang Ling felt happy because calling Mr. Lin was much closer than calling him Commander Lin, which also showed that her relationship with Lin Xiao was indeed better than before.
Of course, she is still a million miles away from her ultimate goal.
"Mr. Lin, you bought a fragment of an ancient bronze sword from me yesterday, but there is a second fragment. Do you want to know where it is?"
