After Lu Xiaoying stopped painting, she sat and rested for a while, then stood up, patted her legs that were numb from sitting for a long time, and said, "Okay, that's it for painting. Let's rest for a while, and then we can eat."
."
Everyone listened, nodded, found a place to sit down, and started chatting.
A few people were chatting, and then they talked about painting again.
Wang Shoufei asked Lu Xiaoying: "Miss Lu, how long does it take for your painting to begin?"
Hearing Wang Shoufei's question, Lu Xiaoying asked with some confusion: "What's wrong? Do you have something wrong?"
Hearing this, Wang Shoufei touched his head in embarrassment and said, "Miss Lu, didn't we say before that we now want to work hard in Nanjing."
"Now we want to find a good job or do some business of our own, and we need to have a foothold in Nanjing. It's not a problem to work casually in Nanjing like this."
Hearing what Wang Shoufei said, Lu Xiaoying's former assistant said: "Old Wang, your idea is not realistic at all. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."
Hearing what the assistant said, Lu Xiaoying and Wang Shoufei both looked at the assistant.
Lu Xiaoying looked over because she had been living under the wings of her parents since she was a child, and she was still in school. She didn't know much about the social situation outside, and wanted to see why her assistant said that.
As for Wang Shoufei and the others, they have never met Lu's father these days, and they have just arrived in Nanjing. Now they basically have no understanding of the situation in Nanjing.
Now I suddenly heard someone talking about the situation in Nanjing, especially since the other person is working in a newspaper, so he must know a lot about the situation in Nanjing.
The assistant saw the looks from Lu Xiaoying and Wang Shoufei, pondered for a while, and then said to several people: "In Nanjing now, if you want to do business, it is difficult to say, and it is not difficult to say it is not."
"It's hard to say, but it's just for Lao Wang and your situation. You are from out of town. Although you are also from Jiangsu, you are not from Nanjing or the surrounding areas, and you don't have any background. Nowadays, the relatively good businesses in Nanjing are basically large.
Part of it has been taken over by powerful people."
"It's not difficult to say that Nanjing is the capital after all, and there is a lot of business that can be done. However, although there is a lot that can be done, most of it is just hard-earned money. There are still a lot of people doing it, and the competition is fierce.
, I don’t think you would want to do it, Lao Wang.”
After hearing what the assistant said, Wang Shoufei and the other three fell silent, feeling a little frustrated.
After a while, Wang Shoufei recovered a little and asked his assistant reluctantly: "Don't we have no chance to settle down and live in Nanjing?"
After hearing this, the assistant thought for a long time and then said: "There are opportunities, it just depends on whether you can seize them."
"Didn't you seize an opportunity before? Think about it when you helped people dig for treasures. The money you earned in those few days may take me several years to earn."
Hearing what Assistant Lu Xiaoying said, Li Laigeng, who had already come to Wang Shoufei's side, asked: "Then can we continue to help people hunt for treasures?"
Hearing what Li Laigeng said, Assistant Lu Xiaoying thought for a while, shook her head and said: "It's no longer possible. You don't have metal detectors on your hands now. On the one hand, others won't give you as much money as before.
On the other hand, people who now have metal detectors will no longer ask outsiders to help detect them."
"And even if there are new metal detectors for sale in Nanjing in the future, and you get the metal detector successfully, the competition in this industry will be very fierce by then, because there are already many people outside who are following your example.
This way, you help others dig out treasures."
When Li Laigeng heard what his assistant said, he was immediately discouraged.
After hearing what his assistant said, Wang Yinglong, who was on the other side of Wang Shoufei, asked the assistant with some confusion: "You just said that there will be metal detectors for sale in Nanjing in the future. What's going on?"
Hearing Wang Yinglong's question, the assistant suddenly became energetic and said, "I heard this from a classmate a few days ago. Unlike me, he is a reporter from a major newspaper."
"After we met, he asked me about treasure hunting in Nanjing. After we drank, he revealed a big news to me."
Speaking of this, the assistant held up a chair and sat closer to several people, then said quietly and mysteriously: "He told me at the time that their newspaper office had received news that there were now a large number of metal detectors from the United States.
The shipment has started and is coming to us."
After hearing what his assistant said, Wang Yinglong asked in a low voice: "How many will there be?"
Upon hearing this question, the assistant replied in a low voice: "They don't have accurate information about the specific quantity, but according to his speculation, the first batch should not be too much."
"However, he has another piece of news, that is, the company that produces metal detectors has already booked all their production for the next few years. Think about how many metal detectors will be shipped in the future."<
/p>
After saying that, the assistant looked at the surprised expressions of several people, and suddenly said to them with some joy: "Don't spread this news indiscriminately. I promised my classmates not to say it indiscriminately."
Hearing what the assistant said, several people were immediately speechless. Could it be that saying it to people like themselves was not nonsense. Thinking of this, several people felt a sense of sympathy for the assistant's classmates. They couldn't say no to anyone.
Okay, I actually wanted to tell my assistant.
After a while, Wang Shoufei reacted first. Assistant Lu Xiaoying had not yet explained clearly what opportunities there were, so he quickly asked: "You'd better tell us first, what opportunities do we have?"
Hearing Wang Shoufei's question, Assistant Lu Xiaoying thought for a while and said, "This opportunity is also related to you and Li Laigeng."
"Is it related to us?"
Hearing Wang Shoufei's reaction, Lu Xiaoying explained as his assistant: "It has something to do with you two. Didn't you two say that you were very good hunters in your hometown? You also read books and served in the army." p>
"So, your marksmanship and skills should not be weak, right?"
Hearing Assistant Lu Xiaoying ask this, Wang Shoufei and Li Laigeng nodded.
Seeing this, the assistant continued to explain: "Since you two are good at it, it would definitely be okay to serve as guards or do errands for some people."
"Of course, when you go to do this for others, you must choose the right person. With your two skills, as long as you choose the right person, you will definitely be able to stay in Nanjing comfortably."
"And if you can choose a noble person, and he will promote you two, then it will not be a problem to make a small fortune in Nanjing."
After hearing what Assistant Lu Xiaoying said, Wang Shoufei and the other three fell silent. They never expected that the advice given by the assistant would be like this.
Looking at the three people who fell into silence, Assistant Lu Xiaoying thought for a while and said: "Let me give you another suggestion. If you really want to find someone to do a job, then when you are looking for someone, it is best to choose an officer."
"On the one hand, you are originally soldiers and can blend in; on the other hand, in this era, the only place where those of us without backgrounds are most likely to get ahead is in the army."
After hearing this, Wang Shoufei nodded and said, "I will consider your suggestion."
Upon seeing this, assistant Lu Xiaoying just nodded and said nothing more.
The two parties stopped talking, and the scene fell into silence. Fortunately, someone happened to come over and ask for a meal, which relieved the heavy atmosphere inside.
Wang Shoufei and others walked out of the studio. Looking at the sunlight shining on them, Wang Shoufei's mood became better and his emotions recovered.
Wang Shoufei and others followed Lu Xiaoying and walked through the courtyard for a while before arriving at the dining area and having a meal together.
On the third floor of the hotel, a total of four people in two rooms could see all this clearly.
However, Lin Mo and the others did not find anything suspicious about Wang Shoufei and the others.
While Lin Mo and others were observing Wang Shoufei and the others, Zhang Xiwen, not far from the entrance of Qingma Lane, also watched Chen Maofeng's car drive in from the entrance of the lane.
Not long after, Liu Yixuan and Uli Jimuren, who were responsible for monitoring Huang Qiuyue, also saw Chen Maofeng's car parked at the entrance of Huang Qiuyue's courtyard. After that, Chen Maofeng got out of the car and walked into the courtyard. After a while, it was still in the same room as before, with Tetsuro Ito, Haruko Akizuki, Atsushi Yamaguchi and Shinji Nagano all sitting at the table.
There was silence in the room for a while. This time, Qiuyue Haruko took the lead in breaking the silence and asked: "Ito-kun, how is the situation over there now?"
After hearing Akizuki Haruko's inquiry, Ito Tetsuro said: "The current situation is very bad. The people on my side are now using this incident to open their mouths to me in the lion."
"Although we can get the money, what I'm afraid of now is that if they take the money but don't do anything, then we will be in great trouble."
After hearing what Tetsuro Ito said, Qiuyue Haruko asked: "So what should we do now?"
Hearing this, Ito Tetsuro sighed and said: "Now the only way is to satisfy their appetite, but before they get things done, I will never give them the money. At worst, I will give it to them by then."
Give them the money, send it to those people, and maybe give it back to those people and give them some more time."
Speaking of this, Ito Tetsuro asked Qiuyue Haruko: "Miss Qiuyue, what is the situation here, and what is the order given by your superiors?"
After Qiuyue Haruko heard Ito Tetsuro ask this question, a wry smile appeared on her face.
Seeing Qiuyue Haruko's expression, Ito Tetsuro's heart suddenly sank, and he asked in a low voice: "What exactly is going on?"
