Xue Chen felt that something was wrong with this matter. It wasn't that Wang Dong didn't have the luck and eyesight to pick it up, but that it was too easy to pick it up.
After taking a look at Wang Dong, who was still holding the copper bird tile inkstone with a pleased expression on his face, he didn't say anything and began to think about it. When he thought about what happened the day before yesterday and yesterday, he smelled something abnormal even more.
First, someone inexplicably helped Luo Hai become the director of the district health bureau and put the credit on him. As a result, another "wealth-giving boy" came today and sold a mid-Tang Dynasty gold medal for 50,000 yuan.
The Tongquetai tile inkstone directly made the antique shop a net profit of almost 10 million.
This is definitely not normal! Very abnormal!
Just then, his cell phone rang again, and when he picked it up, he saw it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, Mr. Xue Chen."
A very thick voice came from the other side of the phone. From the voice, it was not difficult to imagine that this person must be a very tall and strong man.
"you are?"
"Let me introduce myself, I am Cao Honghua."
Xue Chen thought quickly in his head and determined that he had never heard of this name.
"I really wanted to make friends with Mr. Xue, so I did some small things in private. I wonder if Mr. Xue is satisfied?"
"It's you?!"
Upon hearing what this person said, it was obvious that this person was secretly helping Luo Hai.
"This Tongquetai tile inkstone?"
"I know Mr. Xue loves antiques. The inkstone is just a small gift and not a sign of respect."
Sure enough! Xue Chen frowned: "Mr. Cao, what is your purpose for doing this? I don't understand it."
"As I said just now, I just want to make friends with you, Mr. Xue."
The man who called himself Cao Honghua smiled heartily, and then proposed to meet in the evening to have a meal and get to know each other. The location was chosen at the Golden Palace.
Xue Chen did not refuse, because he wanted to clarify the matter, and some things must be explained face to face.
After hanging up the phone, he originally wanted to take back the Tongquetai tile inkstone, but he had to return it no matter what in the evening. There is a saying that makes sense. Don't accept unearned rewards. He and this person both
How could you accept such a precious gift if you have never met?
He guessed that the person probably knew that he would not accept the Tongquetai tile inkstone, so he used a roundabout way to send it in through Wang Dong's hand.
But when he saw Wang Dong holding a bronze inkstone with a smile on his face, immersed in the great joy of picking up leaks, he thought about it and said nothing.
In the evening, Xue Chen went to the banquet on time, arrived at the magnificent building, and arrived at the ninth floor.
There are some ultra-luxurious private dining rooms decorated in a magnificent way. Each one has the name of Crazy Cool, which is very majestic. The entire door of the room in front of him is golden, with a dancing head on the surface.
The name of the Golden Dragon is Shenglong Hall.
The waiter helpfully knocked on the door and opened the door. Xue Chen stood at the door. The situation in the private room was clear at a glance. There were only two people, a man and a woman, sitting there. The man was very tall, with thick eyebrows and a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows.
He is fierce and has the characteristics of a typical northwester.
Look at that woman again, she is about thirty years old, wearing a traditional bun and a bright red cheongsam embroidered with peonies. She looks very charming, especially her pair of pink and phoenix eyes, which are the most charming. When she sweeps over her, they seem to be carrying electric waves.
, with a faint smile on her full lips.
The man looked at the door without saying a word, while the woman stood up and walked over, her hips twisting in an enchanting way. She stretched out her hand in an inviting gesture: "Mr. Xue, please take a seat."
Xue Chen walked over and sat down casually, looked at the northwest man opposite, then at the woman sitting back, and said lightly: "I don't know, what does Mr. Cao mean? Why do you want to help Luo Hai transfer to another position?
It’s not that I don’t understand what happened today about the Tongquetai tile inkstone.”
Cao Haihua laughed and said to the woman beside him: "Pour some tea for Mr. Xue."
The woman stood up and poured a cup of tea for Xue Chen. When she bent down slightly, her chest dropped to an exaggerated degree, as if two filled balloons were stuffed inside her, which made people worry that it would burst.
Xue Chen glanced at it completely subconsciously, but at the moment of glance, the woman seemed to sense it, and looked back at Xue Chen and smiled charmingly.
After the tea was poured, Cao Haihua said something unrelated: "This is magnificent, especially the name of this room is very good, Shenglong Hall, the dragon should fly and rise, haha."
If Xue Chen was a little confused before, now he is sure that the man and woman in front of him seem to be members of the Qianlong Society that Wu Yue mentioned, that is, the pretentious organization of special people?
Cao Haihua finally got down to business: "Mr.
Here’s a thank you gift for seeing you.”
"Mr. Cao is really generous. That small inkstone is worth tens of millions. I can't afford such an expensive meeting gift." As he said that, Xue Chen took out an extra bank card and put it on the table.
, "Here is eleven million, ten million for me to buy the inkstone, and the other one million is for the transfer of duties."
Seeing that he was so straightforward and had no intention of beating around the bush, Cao Honghua looked a little more serious and said loudly: "Mr.
As I said, yes, both of us are members of the Qianlong Club, and the purpose of coming to this city is very simple, that is, we want to invite you to join us and develop our great cause together."
If he hadn't already understood the organization of special persons, and listened to the tone and demeanor of this person's words, Xue Chen would have even thought that these two people were engaged in pyramid schemes...
"I'm not interested." Xue Chen expressed his attitude very straightforwardly.
“Mr.
By the way, my name is Gong Ying'er, and I'm the vice president of Tianyi Entertainment Company."
Xue Chen seems to have some impression of Tianyi Entertainment Company, but he is not very familiar with the entertainment industry, and he doesn’t know much about entertainment companies. However, since he has some impression, it means that it must be a relatively influential entertainment company in China.
Well, it is not easy to become the vice president of this company at such a young age.
“Mr.
Mr. Xue, please sit here and chat with us for an hour."
"Ten million for one hour?"
Xue Chen almost wanted to laugh. He glanced at the woman named Gong Yinger.
"Miss Gong, inviting the biggest stars in the world doesn't cost such a high price, right?"
Gong Ying'er didn't say anything, just smiled slightly.
It's strange to say that this woman is obviously dressed very dignified, and her sitting posture and expression are also very elegant, but she gives people a very seductive feeling, as if she is always seducing people. Even Xue Chen himself sometimes wants to look at it inexplicably.
One glance.
At this time, the dishes were also presented, and the table was quickly filled.
Xue Chen was no longer in a hurry to mention leaving. The reason was very simple. Before they had even met, the other party sent him gifts one after another. Now he also invited him to a banquet and even offered to spend 10 million to stay with him for an hour.
Since the other party treated him with courtesy, he didn't want to lose his courtesy, so he just stayed for an hour.
Although the dishes were all served, neither Cao Honghua nor Gong Yinger had any intention of using their chopsticks. One was drinking tea and the other was sitting quietly.
But Xue Chen was a little hungry. For him, three meals a day were indispensable, so he grabbed his chopsticks and started eating.
The two people on the side didn't say anything, just watching Xue Chen eat.
In this way, the room was quiet for more than ten minutes. Xue Chen kept eating without stopping, and the two people next to him kept watching without disturbing.
Finally, after about twenty minutes, Xue Chen was full. There were almost ten dishes on the table. Basically, about half of each dish was gone, and all of it went into Xue Chen's stomach.
"Mr. Xue is really appetizing and straightforward. I like it." Cao Honghua praised with a smile.
"Let's talk if you have anything to say, the time is almost half gone." Xue Chen picked up a tissue from the table and wiped his hands, leaning back on the chair.
"Okay, let's talk about business now." Cao Honghua sat up slightly, exuding a very tyrannical aura, "Mr. Xue, I opened the skylight and said, you are very young, and now your family is worth hundreds of millions.
, has a certain influence in Haicheng City and even Yunzhou Province, I think this must be related to your special ability."
Seeing that Xue Chen had no intention of talking, Cao Honghua continued talking.
"But are you satisfied now? Compared to the entire world, Yunzhou Province is just a small corner, occupying only a few tenths of the country's area."
"If you join our Qianlong Club, you can become the richest man in Haicheng City within five years, and the richest person in Yunzhou Province within ten years. You can even be known to everyone in this country and be everywhere you go.
Leading cadres from all provinces and cities welcome you!"
The more Xue Chen listened, the more it sounded like a pyramid scheme... Of course, he did not doubt the Qianlong Society's abilities.
