Xue Chen picked up one of the pairs and played with it for a few times, and nodded with satisfaction. Although he didn't like playing with walnuts, he still felt a sense of accomplishment in making such two pairs of good walnuts.
, and it feels very fun.
The next morning, he called Yang Guang at the company and told Wenwan that the walnuts were available and asked him to meet at Zhuo Zhuo Antique Store at noon.
When Yang Guang rushed to the antique store and took a pair of 40mm dull-pointed lion heads from Xue Chen, he could hardly believe his eyes. He took a breath and exclaimed: "Xue Chen, this pair of four-story buildings is so beautiful."
It’s about 40 millimeters, where did you get it?!”
"Of course I bought it." Xue Chen replied casually with a smile without elaborating.
Yang Guang didn't ask in detail, but asked Xue Chen how much he had spent, and asked to take out his wallet to make up the money.
"Forget it, it didn't cost much." Xue Chen said nonchalantly.
Yang Guang didn't insist. He excitedly played with it a few times in his hand. The more he looked at it, the happier he became. He said excitedly: "Xue Chen, you are really my brother. You are simply amazing. I have been searching for a month, but I still can't find it."
Such a good couple! Lili’s father will definitely like them very much.”
Wang Dong also came over and said with a smile: "If you please your future father-in-law, then I guess a good thing between you and Lili is not far away. We two brothers are waiting to enjoy your wedding wine."
"Definitely!" Yang Guang couldn't help but be happy.
After Yang Guang happily left with a pair of Wenwan walnuts, Xue Chen was about to return to the company, but just as he was about to walk out of the store, two men in sky blue uniforms walked into the store.
Xue Chen and Wang Dong knew from the look of their clothes that they were staff of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, but why did someone from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau suddenly come to visit?
These two people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, one tall and one short, one fat and the other thin, suddenly reminded Xue Chen of Fat Tou Tuo and Slender Tou Tuo in martial arts novels.
Wang Dong blinked, walked up to him, and said with a kind smile: "Hello, you two, are you here?"
The two people glanced at the store for a few times. The pudgy staff member glanced at Wang Dong and said solemnly: "We received reports from consumers that your store sells fake goods! Come and investigate and ask for your cooperation.
"
Wang Dong looked back at Xue Chen with a strange expression, and Xue Chen understood as soon as he heard the first words this man said that he was just looking for trouble.
I have searched all over the world for antique shops, but I can't find one that doesn't sell fakes. This is already an unspoken rule in the antiques industry. Even the buyers know it. If the Industrial and Commercial Bureau wants to regulate the antique transaction
, then you will be exhausted at work!
Moreover, Wang Dong has already taken care of the relevant aspects. The departments of industry and commerce, fire protection, health, and taxation have already said hello, and they will never come to interfere with business for no reason. Now that these two people suddenly come to the door, it is obviously for other reasons.
.
Wang Dong retreated to Xue Chen: "Old Xue, have you provoked anyone recently?"
Xue Chen laughed out loud: "Why did you say it was me, not you?"
"Of course it's not me. I haven't left the store in the past few days." Wang Dong smiled and replied.
Seeing Xue Chen and Wang Dong talking quietly together with nonchalant expressions on their faces, the two law enforcement officers from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau felt that their self-esteem had been challenged. Whenever they went to any store in the past, the owner of the store was always the same.
Serving cigarettes and pouring tea? Waiting attentively? When have you ever encountered such an ignorant shop owner?
Slender Toutuo, the taller one among the two, raised his thick black eyebrows and scolded in a hoarse voice: "Which of you two is the owner of this store? Come and talk."
Xue Chen took a step forward and said calmly: "I am."
Shou Toutuo glanced at Xue Chen coldly and said: "According to relevant regulations, your store is involved in defrauding consumers. We need to take some of the products back for forensic appraisal. If the situation is true, your store will be subject to
Relevant penalties include suspension of business for rectification and fines.”
This paragraph was said very smoothly as if it were memorized from a text. It was obviously not the first time that it was said. After finishing this phrase, two people, one tall and one short, looked at Xue Chen's reaction.
Xue Chen started thinking when the two of them entered the door. At this time, he roughly guessed who entrusted these two people to come here to cause trouble. He had offended many people, and many of them were powerful, but they all knew how to do this.
It won't have any impact on him at all, and it won't be a useless effort.
Then the most likely person is Jiang Yunhui, because he remembered that Luo Bing told him that Jiang Yunhui worked in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and he couldn't help frowning, thinking that he and Jiang Yunhui didn't seem to have such a deep conflict, but they actually went to such trouble to make people
There is nothing wrong with going to his shop.
The two people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau had already begun to point fingers at some of the handicrafts displayed in the store, trying to instruct the two clerks in the store to pack them up and take them away.
Seeing that the two guys were motionless, the tall and thin man looked impatient: "Don't waste time, cooperate with us quickly, put everything on those shelves into boxes, we have to take them back for inspection!"
"You guys go back." Xue Chen looked coldly at the two people who wanted to take away the goods in the store and said.
"What did you say?" the short, fat man asked in a sharp voice.
"You two were entrusted here by others. I advise you to go back. Don't just allow others to do whatever you want because of the favor of your colleagues. If you really suffer a loss, it will be too late to regret it." Xue
Chen glanced at the two of them and said in a calm voice.
The two men, one tall and one short, looked at Xue Chen saying these words, their expressions were a little ugly, and their eyes flickered, as if they were thinking about it in their hearts.
"If you leave now, I will treat you as if you have never been here. If you really want to take away the items in the store for inspection, I can cooperate, but you have to think about it. Is this in compliance with the rules? Do you have the ability?
Take these responsibilities." Xue Chen looked at the two of them, his voice a little colder.
These two people were indeed entrusted by others. After being invited to have a drink, they agreed at the wine table and patted their chests. Now seeing Xue Chen in front of them who was calm and composed, spoke righteously, and had an extraordinary bearing, they suddenly felt pinched this time.
Doesn't seem to be a soft persimmon.
The two of them are just law enforcement officers at the grassroots level of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. For ordinary small businesses, they have a great deterrent effect. In the past, they were used to being intimidating. This time they agreed without much thought. Now I feel
It's a bit over-thought.
The tall man and the short man made eye contact and reached some kind of consensus. The tall man coughed and cleared his throat: "We will go back and investigate the report again. If there is really a problem, we will come back again."
." After saying that, he turned around and walked away together.
Seeing the two people leaving like this, Wang Dong was startled, then walked up with a smile and said with admiration: "Tsk, tsk, Lao Xue, you are becoming more and more assertive now. You can kill these difficult brats with just a few words."
Scared."
Xue Chen said nonchalantly: "You are calling me a brat, so naturally you are very difficult to deal with. If you don't pat me down, it won't take long before someone else comes to my door again."
"What are you going to do?" Wang Dong turned around and asked.
"Don't worry about this, I will take care of it. Let's go back to the company first." Xue Chen said as he walked out of the antique store.
After returning to the company's office, he thought about it in his mind. His eyes lit up when he thought of a person. He immediately picked up the landline phone and called Yu Tao, the director of the administrative department, to the office.
"Mr. Xue, do you have any instructions for me?" Yu Tao entered the office and asked with a very familiar smile.
"Director Yu, I have something I would like your help with," Xue Chen said.
"What's the matter? Mr. Xue, tell me." Yu Tao said very cheerfully.
"Today, two staff from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, one tall and one short, came to the antique store I invested in. They said that someone had reported fraud to consumers and wanted to take away the goods in my store." Xue Chen simply and clearly explained what had just happened.
Talked about it.
Without him having to explain, Yu Tao knew what was going on and immediately said: "Mr. Xue, I know about this. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"Director Yu, thank you." Xue Chen nodded, thinking that it is convenient to talk to people who understand, and you can understand with just one click.
Yu Tao smiled and nodded, turned around and left the office.
After Yu Tao returned to his office, he took out his cell phone and called none other than his brother-in-law Ren Chongshan, who served as deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and was also his backer to become the director of the Yunteng Auction Administration Department.
"Brother-in-law, I am Xiaotao, I have something to tell you..."
When Yu Tao told the story over the phone, Ren Chongshan, the deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau on the other side of the phone, responded calmly: "Is it the antique shop owned by the vice president of your company? I will ask about it."
Hearing that his brother-in-law didn't seem to be too concerned, Yu Tao said anxiously: "Brother-in-law, you have to help me handle this matter."
"Haha, Xiao Tao, I know he is your superior, but there is no need to cling to him. As long as I am here, no one can change your position." Ren Chongshan said lightly.
"Brother-in-law, you are wrong to think so. This Vice President Xue of our company is not an ordinary person. I still want to introduce you two to each other after this incident." Yu Tao lowered his voice and said hurriedly.
Ren Chongshan chuckled and didn't care too much. The other party was just the vice president of a company affiliated to the Ning Group, and he was the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, a leader at the deputy division level. Why did he need to make friends with him?
As if he had guessed what his brother-in-law was thinking, Yu Tao explained: "Brother-in-law, listen to me, Xue Chen is not only the vice president of our company, he also served as the assistant to the chairman of the group some time ago..."
"Oh?" Ren Chongshan, who was on the opposite side of the conversation, seemed a little surprised. His status as assistant to the chairman of Ning Group was enough to attract his attention.
"This is not the most important thing. Do you know why he can serve as the assistant to the chairman?" Yu Tao said.
"Why?" Ren Chongshan was aroused. (To be continued)
