All five people nodded, but they all looked confused because they really couldn't figure out why Xue Chen would do such a thing. Someone seemed to open his mouth to ask, but Yan San glared at him and shut his mouth.
"Mr. Xue, we know what to do, let's go." Yan San nodded with a smile on his face.
"Well, go ahead, that's good. As long as you find an offering that meets the conditions I gave, I will pay you two hundred yuan," Xue Chen said.
When the five people heard this number, they were all shocked, and their eyes were full of joy. This was simply pie in the sky. They were just walking around, running errands, and wanted to find the offerings in the shops.
It's too simple, because they can always see it casually. If they search casually, they can probably find dozens of them. Then they will have tens of thousands of dollars. Even if they are divided equally, each person will have two thousand dollars.
ah?
Yan San swallowed his saliva and whispered hesitantly: "Mr. Xue, Boss Qi has already promised us remuneration."
Qi Hu paid three hundred yuan per person per day. At this price, the five of them were very happy, but compared with the compensation given by Xue Chen, it was not enough.
"It doesn't matter, then I'll get double reward and you can go." Xue Chen smiled and nodded.
The five people immediately left in a hurry.
When it was almost time to get off work, Xue Chen was waiting for news about the five people, but he received a call from Wang Dong first and learned the good news. The house in his hometown was basically completed, and the interior was simply decorated, because it was now
In midsummer, the weather is very hot, so it only needs to dry for a few more days before it can be moved in.
"Thank you Uncle Wang for me." Xue Chen said.
Although he had not seen what the house in his hometown looked like, he had mentioned the cost, but Wang Tianhai was determined not to accept it, so he had to give up in the end.
"Hey, Lao Xue, I'm not happy when you say this." Wang Dong replied with a smile, "You haven't seen what the house is like. You can go back and take a look when you have time. I have already seen it."
After seeing the photos, I want to live in the countryside without having to breathe in the smog all day long.”
"Okay, I'll go back in a few days." Hearing what Wang Dong said, Xue Chen also had the idea of going back and taking a look.
Not long after hanging up Wang Dong's phone, Xue Chen received a call from Yan San, telling him that the five people had settled the matter.
Xue Chen left the company and called the five people to a nearby restaurant. As soon as the five people entered the private room, there was a sour smell of sweat coming in. All five people were covered in sweat, and their vests were soaked through.
Yan San immediately handed a notebook in his hand to Xue Chen and said, "Mr. Xue, these are the findings of the five of us running around for a day. They all meet your requirements and are all recorded in it."
Xue Chen opened the notebook and saw the addresses clearly written on it. He also wrote down the specific locations of the objects to be worshiped. It was clear at a glance. There were five pages of records, about fifty or sixty items.
After nodding with satisfaction, Xue Chen took out his wallet, took out about 12,000 yuan, and put it on the table, "You did a good job. You can take the money. Also, what I just said
We have ordered a table of wine and food, and the bill has been settled. You guys eat slowly, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
Seeing Xue Chen about to leave, Yan San hurriedly bowed and nodded: "I'll see you later, Mr. Xue. If you have anything to do, just say hello." The other four people also moved out of the way.
As soon as Xue Chen left, the five people immediately divided the money on the table equally. Each received more than two thousand yuan, and they all laughed from ear to ear. When the waiter served a table of wine and food, they all opened their cheeks and started eating.
While eating, I kept sighing.
"This Mr. Xue is really generous."
"Zi Zhen, it would be great if you could have such a good job every day."
"Eat quickly, stop dreaming." Yan San drank.
Xue Chen went downstairs, looked through his notebook a few times, and saw that the address above was only two streets away from here, so he drove there. Two or three minutes later, the car stopped in front of a large barbecue restaurant.
As soon as he entered the store, Xue Chen followed the markings on his notebook and immediately discovered a 40-centimeter-tall statue of Guan Gong enshrined in this barbecue restaurant. It faced north and south, and three incense burners were burning in a nearly 20-centimeter incense burner.
, there was a faint smoke coming out.
It was dinner time, and the business in the barbecue shop was quite good. It was full of customers, and the waiters were shuttled back and forth. Xue Chen walked directly to the statue of Guan Gong, and no one asked a question.
He casually touched the Qinglong Yanyue Sword that Mr. Guan was holding. Immediately, a familiar aura blended into the ancient jade in his chest. It was equivalent to the spiritual energy absorbed in the restaurant two days ago, and probably also
It looks like 0.30%.
After absorbing the spiritual energy, Xue Chen was in a good mood. He immediately found a seat to sit down, ordered a glass of ice-cold draft beer, ordered some meat skewers, and ate happily.
For three days in a row, Xue Chen skipped work again and wandered around the city, constantly going back and forth from shop to shop. The statues of Guan Gong, Maitreya and Guanyin worshiped by merchants were repeatedly attacked by his "black hands"
, the spiritual energy was sucked away by him.
The spiritual energy in the ancient jade also accumulated little by little. Although an offering could only provide a small proportion of the spiritual energy, the sand became a tower and the armpits became fur. After he visited all the addresses recorded in the notebook,
The spiritual energy in the ancient jade has reached 80%.
On this day, after Xue Chen returned to Jinguan City after a whole day of traveling, he fell down on the sofa in the living room with a thud, breathing heavily.
Xue Qi screamed: "Brother Chen, what are you doing? Why are you sweating so much and your face is red from the sun." While speaking, she went to the bathroom to twist a wet hand towel and handed it to Xue Chen.
in hand.
Xue Chen took the wet hand towel and wiped the sweat from his face and neck. Although his muscles were a little sore from running around for a day, his face was filled with a brisk smile.
"Xiao Qi, the university is about to start, and you have been playing in Haicheng City for a while. I happen to be going home in a few days, so you should also go home and stay for a while. Your parents miss you too."
"Okay." Xue Qi agreed.
After washing up, Xue Chen returned to his room, squinted his eyes, leaned against the bed comfortably, took the ancient jade in his arms and looked at it, his eyes were full of fire and excitement, and the corners of his mouth were raised as he murmured.
Said: "Eighty percent, still short of the last 20%!"
He originally thought that what was recorded in the notebook was enough for him to fully absorb the spiritual energy, but some of the merchants worshiped gods and Buddha statues that were only a year or two old after he bought them, and the spiritual energy contained in them was pitiful and almost negligible.
After I bought it, I put it there without burning incense and offering it as an offering. It also had no spiritual energy at all, so it was still missing 20%.
The remaining 20% is nothing to worry about. It will take at most one or two days before the spiritual energy can be perfected for the fifth time and bring new changes to his eyes. Thinking of this, Xue Chen's whole body became hot with great anticipation.
While Xue Chen was busy absorbing spiritual energy, there was a storm in the municipal committee. Zhao Mingquan's miraculous rise to power surprised many people, and the No. 1 deputy mayor Gao Zuoqiu, who was most likely to become the mayor, was
Naturally, I was "suffering deeply" from it, and you can imagine how I felt.
At the Royal No. 6 Golf Course, Vice Mayor Gao Zuoqiu, wearing a white sweatshirt with a fat belly, held a club and swung it, sending the ball flying far away. As for where it went, he could not find it.
When I arrived, I immediately took the handkerchief handed over by the secretary at the side and wiped my sweat.
At this time, Xu Zhenbang, the chairman of Galaxy Industry, clapped his hands twice, walked in with a smile, nodded and praised: "Mayor Gao's skills are getting better and better, his arm swings are steady and powerful, and
All the policies you advocate are the same.”
Gao Zuoqiu walked a few steps and sat under the umbrella, took a sip of cold juice, and said to Xu Zhenbang who was sitting aside: "Old Xu, do you know why Zhao Mingquan became the acting mayor?"
Xu Zhenbang pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know."
"It's because of the strong support of the newly appointed Governor Hao, but why did you pull Zhao Mingquan?" After Gao Zuoqiu finished saying this, he turned to look at the secretary beside him, "Xiao Lu, please tell me what you have learned recently.
Let’s talk about it.”
Secretary Lu nodded and said, "Recently, I heard that Zhao Mingquan asked his secretary and driver to have a meal at home, but besides the driver and secretary, there was also an outsider."
"Outsiders?" Xu Zhenbang's eyes moved.
"I also learned about that person. He is a vice president of a company under the Ning Group named Xue Chen."
"Xue Chen?" Xu Zhenbang was no stranger to this name. The project of Galaxy Industrial's investment in Fuji Auction Branch failed and suffered considerable losses. This person was a key figure in it. He hesitated and asked, "Why is Zhao Mingquan called Xue Chen?"
"This is the key." Gao Zuoqiu moved his eyebrows, and his face became a little unhappy.
Secretary Lu also continued: "I investigated Xue Chen and heard a rumor from some people. Not long ago..."
It took ten minutes for Secretary Lu to tell the story in a very clear and unhurried tone about the rumors that Xue Chen had made huge profits by investing in Jin Yue Road and knew a certain provincial leader.
After hearing this, Xu Zhenbang sat up straight: "Mayor Gao, you mean that this Xue Chen has a close relationship with Governor Hao and secretly helped Zhao Mingquan?"
"I just have suspicions, but there is no definite evidence, especially since Governor Hao was transferred from other provinces, and I also let Xiao Lu know Xue Chen's resume. He is an authentic Yunzhou native, and has not even been out of the province.
However, logically speaking, it is impossible for him to know Governor Hao." Gao Zuoqiu's face was solemn, and his eyes were a little colder, "But this possibility cannot be ruled out, otherwise how could Zhao Mingquan invite him to his home for dinner out of nowhere?
?”
"What if Xue Chen was really the matchmaker?" Xu Zhenbang looked at Gao Zuoqiu's face from the corner of his eye. He saw Gao Zuoqiu leaning on his chair and closing his eyes slightly, but from the slight frown, it was not difficult to tell.
There is already anger in my heart, and I must remember Xue Chen in my heart... (To be continued)
