Qin Fen was stunned for a moment. Calling him a brother?! This is too weird. To be honest, Tao Boru is already an uncle in age. Where do you start talking about this brother?!
"Mr. Tao, isn't this right? To be honest, I have to call you uncle. This brother really doesn't dare to call you uncle!"
Looking at Qin Fen's expression, Tao Boru suddenly smiled and waved his hand: "Young Master Qin, you can't say that, we have the same hobbies, and after this time, I know who you are, so brothers don't
Regardless of age, as long as you think highly of me, just call me Brother Tao. Of course, if you don’t want to, I won’t force you, let’s keep drinking!”
Looking at Tao Boru's face, Qin Fen felt a little helpless. Finally, he had to pick up the wine glass and said: "Brother Tao, I toast you this glass of wine!"
"Haha, okay, this glass of wine can be regarded as the wine of our bond."
Tao Boru smiled heartily, clinked glasses with Qin Fen, and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
"Qin Fen, we are brothers now. Tell me, are you going to Bali Village just for these cultural relics? To be honest, I can't help but be tempted when I see these things, especially the crystal coffin.
, this research value is really great." Tao Boru started talking after a glass of wine.
Qin Fen's heart suddenly moved, and he looked at Tao Boru with a smile. He saw that the other person's face was slightly red, but he didn't look like he had drunk much, so Qin Fen could guess that Tao Boru was trying to trick him.
"Brother Tao, to be honest, I really didn't know there were cultural relics here. The reason why I came here this time is because the Antique Association wants to donate to several Hope Schools here. I just came here to take a look. They are still the ones doing engineering surveys.
Technicians discovered the cave."
Qin Fen said without any secret.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that you can now be the president of Dongchang Antiques Association. How do you feel good about it?!" Tao Boru changed the subject with a smile.
"Ahem... let's not mention it. Brother Tao, this is really not what I want to do. It is indeed forced. There is no way!" Qin Fen said with a sigh.
"Then it's all about your kid's ability. To be honest, your level of treasure appraisal is beyond the reach of even an old guy like me." As Tao Boru spoke, he drank another glass of wine.
However, Qin Fen felt that when Tao Boru praised him, there seemed to be something hidden in his words. Of course, if the other party didn't say anything, he would not be able to see through it.
"Brother Tao, how can I compare with you? I'm just lucky at best. Who doesn't know that this antique industry is in deep water? It's you who picks up the bargains, and you're the one who loses and gets fooled. You don't have decades of experience in studying antiques, so you're basically a layman.
That’s all.”
"Haha, you kid, your kid's ability is not a fluke. Tell me, do you want to join our Chinese Cultural Heritage Association? I will be your introducer. This matter is not difficult to do!"
Sure enough, Tao Boru changed the subject and began to win over Qin Fen.
Qin Fen's heart was moved and he couldn't help but sneered: "It seems that this sworn friendship is fake. The real purpose is to make myself his."
"Mr. Tao, to be honest, I really don't like it. Joining these associations always feels too restrictive. I still prefer to open a shop in the antique street, drink tea and chat every day, and visit the street stalls. Besides, the Chinese Antiquities Association
, What a powerful skill that requires, I’d better forget it, I’m not qualified at all.”
Qin Fen said tactfully.
Tao Boru was stunned. He originally thought that he would eagerly agree to it. Not everyone can join the Chinese Cultural Heritage Association. The youngest members of the association are all over forty years old. This Qin
If you can't reach the age of twenty, you are already an exception.
But I didn't expect that Qin Fen would reject it outright.
"Qin Fen, you have to think carefully. This opportunity may only be once in your life. You can enter the China Cultural Heritage Association, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the state. And as long as you have some achievements, you may even enjoy special state subsidies. This will be very good for your reputation.
How many people fail to realize these great benefits in their lifetime!"
Tao Boru once again offered attractive terms.
"To be honest, these conditions are indeed very tempting, but I am really not suitable. This time I will be broken into this antique association, so Brother Tao should take back his good intentions!"
"Oh, okay, then you can figure it out! But there is something I want to tell you!"
After Tao Boru lamented, he suddenly whispered mysteriously to Qin Fen.
"Brother Tao, tell me!"
"Although you have made a great contribution this time, I heard that someone above you has already paid attention to you. Those who are responsible for guarding, their identities are very special and mysterious, so I think you should consider it carefully and join the Cultural Heritage Association.
, this way you are organized, and it will be difficult for ordinary people to do anything to you!"
"Brother Tao, do you want me to find a protective umbrella?!" Qin Fen's expression changed and he asked.
"Well, that's more or less what it means. Do you really think that people from the Chinese Cultural Heritage Association only identify cultural relics?! You are really wrong. Our responsibilities are very important. For example, some cultural relics that have been lost overseas must be
The recovered treasures are our Chinese treasures after all, so after you join the association, you may have the opportunity to go abroad to find the lost treasures. This is also called a top-secret mission."
"I understand, Brother Tao. We in China have lost countless treasures overseas over the years, and they must be recovered. However, I am really lazy. I understand what Brother Tao means."
Seeing that Qin Fen was not tempted at all, Tao Boru felt a little helpless. He didn't expect that the other party was still so tough even after he mentioned this.
"Okay, whatever you want, let me tell you one more thing. It might be better if you just stay in Dongchang and run your antique shop, but don't show your sharpness too much. Again, I heard that you have caused a lot of trouble.
Many people have noticed that those people who protect cultural relics outside actually have special identities!"
"Brother Tao, are you talking about the ancient warrior?!"
"Huh?! How do you know?!" Tao Boru looked at Qin Fen with surprise on his face.
"When you were talking to Mu Zhirou just now, you accidentally overheard something." Qin Fen said with a chuckle.
"Now that you know, I might as well reveal more to you, but you have to promise that you can only listen to these words and never say them out, otherwise it will lead to death, and I won't do it, brother.
Good ending!"
Tao Boru looked around and saw that there was no one around, then he cautiously said to Qin Fen.
"hehe!"
Qin Fen chuckled, stood up, closed the door, and even locked it from the inside.
"Brother Tao, we are brothers now, don't worry, I have a strict mouth!"
"Well, these ancient warriors are generally from aristocratic families in the capital, and most of them are members of the Chinese special service. They can also directly govern our Chinese Cultural Heritage Association!"
"Hmm?! I don't know about this. What is the connection between the Chinese Cultural Heritage Association and the Secret Service? How can they govern the Cultural Heritage Association?!" Qin Fen pretended to be confused.
In fact, Qin Fen understood from the moment Tao Boru became sworn sworn friends to him regardless of his age that Tao Boru was just digging a hole for him to win him over to the Cultural Heritage Association.
It's just that Tao Boru didn't expect that he would not agree after a few times, so Tao Boru would mention the ancient warrior. To be honest, Tao Boru wanted to scare himself with the ancient warrior so that he could understand the current affairs.
"Aren't you clear about this?! Our Cultural Heritage Association is not as simple as it seems on the surface. There are many unknown things in it. Of course, I can only talk about it here. If you join the Cultural Heritage Association, you will
Wouldn’t it be better to understand?!”
Tao Boru was very good at cadence, and when he said this, he deliberately let it slip.
To be honest, Qin Fen still doesn't understand, but he really doesn't have the idea to join the Chinese Cultural and Biological Association for the time being, because he has a lot of things to do recently, first of all, he is looking for Yun Qian, and then he is accompanying Ruo Ruo.
The spirit goes to Miao territory.
"Haha, Brother Tao, let's have a drink!"
Qin Fen chuckled lightly, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Tao Boru.
The two of them drank together from noon to nine o'clock in the evening. I have to say that Tao Boru was really good at drinking. Until now, except for his blushing and his tongue-in-cheek speech, he looked pretty normal.
"Okay, brother, I'll leave first. When we get to Guyang, we'll take a special plane back to the capital. Again, think about it carefully. It would be really unfair for a talent like you to not be part of the Cultural Heritage Association, not to mention the association.
It’s not as simple as you think!”
"Brother Tao, I appreciate your kindness, let me think about it carefully!" Qin Fen shook hands with Tao Boru and said.
"Finally, let me reveal one more thing. In fact, it is not just me who asked you to come to the Cultural Heritage Association. I heard that someone from the Secret Service Bureau has already said hello to the association."
After Tao Boru finished speaking, he smiled mysteriously at Qin Fen, and then left the room directly.
Before, Qin Fen was unmoved, but after the special service greeted him, things were different. It seemed that Mu Zhirou was right, and now he was being targeted by many people.
Thinking of this, Qin Fenxin was still a little scared.
Twenty minutes later, Qin Fen sent Tao Boru away and then returned to the village committee. At this moment, Gu Ruoling had just cleared away the table scraps.
"Ruoling, don't tell anyone what Tao Boru said today!" Qin Fen returned to the room and confessed to Gu Ruoling.
"I understand, but do you think what he said is true?! Why do those ancient warriors want to win over you, and why does Mu Zhirou want you to go to the capital?!"
Gu Ruoling said with some doubts.
"I don't know about this. Maybe if a person is too sharp, he will definitely bring himself trouble of one kind or another!"
"Oh, no matter what, we'd better be careful. After the things here are settled, we can return to Dongchang as soon as possible. I'm worried about Sister Yuanyuan and the others."
"I know, don't worry, nothing will happen!" Qin Fen comforted the other person.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Fen opened the door and Mu Zhirou stood at the door with a cold and arrogant face.
"What's the matter?!" Qin Fen said angrily.
"Come out for a moment, I have something to do with you!"
