Two days after sending the jadeite blank to Southern Jiangsu, Qin Lan sent the design drawing to his mailbox. He took a rough look at it and was still very satisfied. Tianyun Company can be so large, and the level of jewelry designers is beyond question.
doubt.
On the same day, an acquaintance appeared in front of him, Director Wu Yuewu from the Investigation Section of the Ministry of National Security. This was also the first time the two met after Xue Chen returned from the border.
Looking at the rippling lotus pond at the foot of the mountain, Wu Yue smiled very relaxedly, with crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. He said: "The last time I came to your place, I felt that this is a really nice place, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The scenery is really beautiful, and it is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Especially the pond is what I like the most. I just thought that when I am not busy for a while, I will catch fish there all day long. It seems that I am still lucky.
Yes, I finally have time now. Mr. Xue, do you have anything to do today? If not, go fishing with me."
"Okay." Xue Chen nodded to Wu Yue and found his fishing gear.
It seems that Wu Yue did come here for fishing. He also brought a set of fishing gear. He took it out from the trunk and said: "I brought these from the capital. I can't help it. These few fish
I have been using this rod for many years and it is very easy to use. If I use another fishing rod, it will be awkward and I can’t catch fish.”
It's early summer now, and the weather is nearly 30 degrees Celsius. But because it's surrounded by mountains and is close to a lake, the temperature is just right, neither too cold nor too hot, and comfortable and pleasant. So there are quite a few people fishing. Looking from the mountainside, there are so many fishermen on the river bank.
There were hundreds of people sitting in rows.
The two people carried their fishing gear and came to the lotus pond. After walking for a while, they found a quiet place with few people to "set up camp". They put down their fishing gear and sat down after the fishhook was thrown into the water.
Wu Yue let out a sigh of relief, stared at the water, and said: "Thank you very much for the search and rescue. I have put all the investigation information about you into the cold palace. Basically, no one will have the opportunity to read it.
Yes, and the three million promised to you will be sent to you in a day or two."
"You're welcome." Xue Chen simply replied.
In the past, he did have people at the national level grasping the things that were deep in his heart, but now that this day has come, he doesn't really care because he has roughly seen through the essence of this matter.
Let’s just talk about this search and rescue. If he doesn’t agree, what will be the consequences? What can Wu Yue do to him? Can he use force to put pressure on him? From where?
If he was really cornered, he could kill Wu Yue without anyone noticing. There would be absolutely no problem unless he lived in an iron wall with no gaps. Of course, this is the most extreme approach.
, the possibility of this situation occurring is also very low.
The biggest possibility is that nothing will be done. Wu Yue will be very angry, and the investigation of him may continue. Even more people will see his information, become curious about him, and want to understand him thoroughly, but
, who really has the ability to truly understand him? It’s just guessing at most.
If someone wants to arrest him and torture him severely, but who can and who dares to make the decision? He is somewhat famous in Yunzhou Province now, and without any charges, who dares to play hardball with him?
Although he is not in the system, he has come into contact with too many people. People in the system have one characteristic, that is, they will never easily get involved in things that have nothing to do with them. They must do their job well and make achievements, so that they can be praised by their superiors.
Leaders value and get opportunities for advancement, and they will definitely hide as far away as possible from anything that has a negative impact on themselves but does not matter.
Who will come back to make the decision to arrest him, interrogate him, and investigate him? What are the benefits? None! Instead, it may cause embarrassment, so no smart person will do that.
To go deeper, what he has been worried about is the power at the national level, which he cannot compete with. However, the country is too general a concept. Who can represent this country? Who can use the power of the country to deal with him? Wu Yue
No, neither can Chief of Staff Zhao of that provincial military region.
He was even thinking that if his son hadn't been on the missing list, Wu Yue would have gone all the way to find him, and instead directly sentenced the four soldiers to death, and finally added a few merits.
Or it could be the name of a martyr.
So he doesn't need to worry about anything now. No one can really pose any threat to him, at least not yet.
The two of them just sat there, fishing quietly, and no one said anything nonsense.
But they all had their own thoughts in their hearts. Xue Chen felt very relaxed, and Wu Yue felt quite comfortable. His son and the other three little soldiers had returned safely, and the mission had been completed. It could be said to be perfect.
As the person who took charge of this matter, he also received awards from the department. If something unexpected happened, he would be able to move up within the year. This gave him hope that it might not be impossible to get a deputy ministerial level salary before retiring.
This is not only a benefit, but also an honor.
In the past, he thought that he would be very satisfied if he could have deputy ministerial level treatment after retirement. However, once people's desires will expand, and now that they have gotten this, they will want to get better, just in case.
It’s done.
But that is not an easy task. A month ago, the chance that he would receive deputy ministerial-level treatment after retirement was 30%, and the possibility of full-ministerial-level treatment was zero. Now, the former has
It's 80%, and even said that as long as you don't make a big mistake, it's 100%. The probability of the latter is also mentioned, maybe 10%.
Although ten percent is small, after all, there is a one-tenth chance, which is far better than zero percent. Now he is thinking about how to increase the ten percent chance.
The easiest way is to make more outstanding work achievements. It is difficult to follow the steps step by step. For this search and rescue work, normally the chance of success is not more than 30%, but it happened to be successful. Naturally.
It's because of the person next to me, Xue Chen!
From the information and his son's description, he was very sure that the young man next to him had supernatural means that ordinary people did not have. It was hard to say exactly, but it must be very powerful and amazing. It seemed that an extremely difficult job would not be easy in the hands of this person.
No effort.
This made him deeply realize that it might be up to this young man whether he could get ministerial-level treatment before retirement. With his help, it might not be difficult.
But he also realized that it was not easy to get the young people around him to be willing to help. He studied for a long time on the way here and found no "weaknesses" in Xue Chen that could allow him to do something about it.
He is young and wealthy, has a calm and sophisticated personality, has considerable influence in society, and has deep connections within the system...
He also had very sharp methods that were beyond ordinary people. He couldn't help but recall that photo of a pair of palms pierced with blood. It wasn't just one person, it was the entire team of ten people at that time! This power was too terrifying.
!If it were a human head, would it be dead?
"Mr. Xue..."
"Director Wu, just call me by my name."
"That's fine, Xue Chen, do you have any bigger revenge or ideals?" Wu Yue glanced sideways at Xue Chen and asked.
Xue Chen chuckled: "Why did Director Wu suddenly ask about this?"
"I'm just curious. Now you are worth hundreds of millions at a young age and have made quite a name for yourself in your professional circle. But I know that many people across the country who are interested in antiques call you that
He is the king of leak collectors, and he has also become the youngest director of the Antiques Association in Yunzhou Province, which is amazing."
"It seems that you have a lot of contacts with Ning Group and Shenhong Group, one of the five largest private enterprises in Yunzhou Province. The house you live in now once belonged to the Sunan Huo family. Also, I also know that you yourself have some problems.
There are few very profitable industries, and it can be considered that there has been considerable development in the business world."
Xue Chen didn't interrupt, just sat quietly and listened.
"So, I really want to know, now that you are in this state, do you still have any unfulfilled wishes?" Wu Yue touched his chin. The reason why he asked this question was simple. As long as people still have unfulfilled wishes.
When revenge and desire are fulfilled, there will be desire, and then there will be a basis for mutual cooperation.
After listening to Director Wu's words, Xue Chen also felt that this question was very interesting. He had not thought about it carefully. Just like Wu Yue said, he already has too much now, which he could not even think about in the past.
I dare not think about it.
Before graduating from college, his wish was very simple. He wanted to find a stable job in Haicheng City. The higher the monthly salary, the better, but he also had to be self-aware. The initial goal he set was a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan.
I can reach 5,000 yuan in one year, I can make a down payment on a house in Haicheng within five years, I can bring my parents to the city, I can marry Xiaobing.
Now it seems that, except for a slight glitch at the last point, these wishes have been exceeded by a thousand times.
So what is his wish now? He really hasn't thought about it carefully, because he doesn't need to think about it. He is generally very satisfied with his current life, and it will be fine if he just keeps going step by step.
"My current wish..."
When I started thinking about this issue seriously, an idea emerged uncontrollably from my heart: that is the true origin of ancient jade!
It is undeniable that he is here today because of the collision with the stranger's body that ordinary morning. However, after such a long time, he still has not fully understood what kind of existence Gu Yu is.
The only thing I know is that the last owner of the ancient jade was Shen Wansan, a wealthy man in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. Other than that, nothing is known about it. Where did Shen Wansan get it? (To be continued)
