A sign saying "Purchase at a high price" was hung at the door of the Zhuoyu Pavilion antique store. Below it was a line of small words: Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, authenticate them, buy them at a high price, be honest.
Jiang Xinyu parked the car on the side of the road, sat in the car and observed for a while to make sure no one noticed him, then opened the door and got out of the car and walked into the store.
The store is not big. As soon as you enter the door, there is a row of ancient shelves, which are filled with various porcelain, jade, ancient books, and some objects similar to bronze.
There are also more than a dozen paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall. Judging from the signatures on the seals, most of them are works by local calligraphers and painters and are placed on consignment in the store.
As a contact point, antique stores have a unique advantage. There are very few customers, and often no customers come to the door for an hour or two, especially for such a newly opened store.
Jiang Xinyu walked to the ancient book shelf, picked up a jade bowl and looked at it. Although the bottom of the bowl was engraved with the words "Made in Chenghua Years", anyone with a discerning eye would know it was a fake at a glance.
"Is there anything genuine in the store?" Jiang Xinyu picked up another porcelain vase and put it back casually.
Wei Zhongwen said seriously: "In fact, in most antique shops, good things are rarely displayed in plain sight. Only connoisseurs who know the goods have the opportunity to see the real thing!"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "However, even if the experts come, your store will not be able to produce genuine goods!"
"There is no way, the funds are limited and it is impossible to spend it on this." Wei Zhongwen glanced at the door and whispered: "The goal has been implemented, we will start after eight o'clock tonight!"
Jiang Xinyu nodded and said: "I have some famous calligraphy and paintings at home, as well as a few porcelain bottles and jars, all of which are from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After a while, I will use them to fill your facade. Since it is an antique shop, we must
Just like that!"
"Where did you get these things?"
"They are all gifts from others. If they are too expensive, I will not take them. It is not good if they are too eye-catching."
Wei Zhongwen thought for a moment and said, "What if someone takes a fancy to it?"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "As long as the price is right, you can sell it and treat it as my party dues! In a blink of an eye, I haven't paid party dues for many years!"
"Okay! Don't come too often. Come again when I put up the sign that I want to buy it at a high price!"
"knew."
There is also a room in the store with a customer stop sign on the door. Jiang Xinyu said: "You live in the store?"
Wei Zhongwen: "Yes. Oh, and in a few days, a phone will be installed in the store to facilitate our communication."
"Only code words can be spoken on the phone. My phone at home is not secure."
"I see."
"Are you the only one in the store?"
"There is also a telegraph operator who is still on the road. He should arrive in a day or two. He is staying as a clerk."
"The radio station must be hidden!"
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged."
…………
Juntong Yanjin Station.
Zhou Junchen stood in front of the office window, watching Wang Xuelin walk into the door of the building, and said to Wang Xinrui who was waiting aside: "He's here, go get ready!"
Wang Xinrui was silent for a while and said: "Director Zhou, if it is proved that Wang Xuelin is indeed a Communist Party member, how will the station deal with him?"
"Follow the clues and find out his online presence!"
"I mean...what kind of punishment will Wang Xuelin receive?"
"Well, it all depends on whether he is willing to cooperate! You have also seen how Yu Zeshui is treated now!"
"Understood."
Wang Xinrui bowed, turned around and retreated.
Zhou Junchen shook his head gently and said to himself: "The little girl is still not cruel enough..."
Back to the archives department, because it was still early, my colleagues hadn’t arrived yet.
Wang Xinrui sat down in his seat, looked at Wang Xuelin who was cleaning up, and said: "Xuelin, you can just wipe your own table, why do you work for others every day?"
Wang Xuelin straightened up and said: "Things that are easy to do with a little effort should be regarded as stretching the muscles and bones."
Wang Xinrui bit her lip, brewing her emotions for a while, and whispered: "Xuelin, the two of us are on duty at noon. I...I have something to say to you."
Wang Xuelin's heart skipped a beat and he said, "Okay."
The two have been getting along well recently. As far as the relationship between men and women is concerned, there is actually only one window left that has not been broken.
Therefore, Wang Xuelin guessed in his heart, what would Wang Xinrui say to him?
Show your feelings?
If that's the case, what should you do?
Accept or reject?
With Wang Xinrui's identity unknown, this matter is really tricky...
The morning passed quickly, and now it's lunch time.
Wang Xinrui stood up and said generously: "Wang Xuelin and I are on duty. Let's all go have a meal."
A clerk said: "Xinrui, there is a special meal in the restaurant today. I heard there is chicken stewed with mushrooms. Do you really want to stay on duty? You are late, but there are only leftovers."
Wang Xinrui: "I ate late in the morning and I'm not hungry yet, so you can go ahead."
Another staff member joked: "Xuelin always puts others before himself, and Xinrui must have been affected as well. Let's all go, don't delay the two of them from discussing such profound principles of life!"
Wang Xuelin smiled and said: "You are just getting an advantage and being good. How about you stay on duty and I go try the chicken stewed with mushrooms?"
"If you leave, Xinrui will definitely be unhappy!"
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and walked out one after another.
The archives section gradually became quiet, with only Wang Xinrui and Wang Xuelin remaining.
Wang Xuelin coughed slightly and said: "Xinrui, the chef in the restaurant is from the Northeast. His specialty is stew. In fact, you should try it. It tastes better than the ones in restaurants outside."
"Actually, I've never been used to restaurant food. It's too salty. I prefer something lighter..."
Wang Xinrui was somewhat entangled in her heart. She knew that the "game" prepared for Wang Xuelin had been designed, and she was the key factor in it!
Assuming that Wang Xuelin is really a Communist, there is nothing to say. What if he is not?
What would he think if he knew he was involved in this game?
As soon as the door rang, Chen Lei walked in, looked around and said, "Where are the others?"
Wang Xuelin stood up and said, "They have all gone to eat."
Chen Lei made a sound and said: "The confidential room is replacing the file cabinet. The files inside need to be rearranged. We are temporarily short of two people. You two go ahead!"
Wang Xuelin: "We are leaving. There is no one on duty in the archives department."
Chen Lei pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "I am here! Go quickly, Director Zhou is waiting!"
"Yes!" Wang Xuelin agreed, and Wang Xinrui walked out of the archives section.
"Hey, work carefully. All important documents are stored in the confidential room. Don't get them mixed up!" Chen Lei ordered from behind.
Listening to the footsteps walking away in the corridor, Chen Lei lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and murmured: "Go, after today, everything will be clear to you!"
