Although I can’t say for sure whether there is such a thing as retribution in this world, it’s better not to gossip behind your back. Mao Qiushi just complained in front of Liu Qifeng two days ago that Li Xiaoning had stomach bleeding after drinking, and then it happened to him
On the body.
In fact, Mao Qiushi has a good drinking capacity and is in good health. However, when he went out to socialize with Liu Qifeng that day, he ate authentic Sichuan food. He didn't eat anything to appease his stomach beforehand, and he was eager to eat with Liu Qifeng.
Qifeng expressed himself in front of him, but he drank too much and was in a hurry. He sprayed a table full of blood on the spot and was sent directly to the hospital.
This made Liu Qifeng very unhappy. First of all, this incident made him feel very embarrassed. Secondly, he thought that there was something wrong with Mao Qiushi's work ability. Drinking was also an important job of a secretary. In addition, Mao Qiushi was
He didn't trust the person assigned to him by Duan Yonghong, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee General Office, and now he wanted to take the opportunity to replace him.
But first of all, Liu Qifeng did not have his own team in Binhai City, and secondly, Mao Qiushi was a deputy department-level cadre, and he could not be replaced at will, so Liu Qifeng simply let Mao Qiushi lie in the hospital all the time. He transferred Li Xiaoning to him in a grand manner.
He is a guest temporary secretary. Originally, Liu Qifeng, as the top leader of a deputy provincial city, his secretary must be at least deputy director level. Li Xiaoning does not meet the conditions in any case, but a "temporary" title will turn everyone's mouths.
All blocked.
It was said that it was temporary, but Liu Qifeng did not regard Li Xiaoning as a temporary worker in his heart. Especially with Mao Qiushi's farce as a comparison, he felt that Li Xiaoning was the qualified secretary he needed most. Of course, for
To be on the safe side, he still had to continue investigating.
On this day, Liu Qifeng suddenly called Li Xiaoning into his office and asked: "Xiao Li, do you know where I can buy good antiques in Binhai City?"
Li Xiaoning picked up Liu Qifeng's tea cup to add water, and said with a smile: "Chief, this antique is really not easy to deal with. Generally, it is not for sale. Even if it is for sale, like auction houses, the price is also very expensive.
.On the antique street, you might be lucky enough to pick something up, but your eyesight is very high."
"Oh?" Liu Qifeng heard Li Xiaoning's subtext and asked with a smile, "How is your eyesight?"
Li Xiaoning put the filled tea cup back into Liu Qifeng's hand and said with a smile: "When I was in college in Yanjing, I would go to Liulichang whenever I had free time. My eyesight is not that good, but I can still cheat in general.
You can see it."
"Okay, let's go shopping in the antique street now and see if we can pick up a big leak, haha!" Liu Qifeng's interest was aroused by Li Xiaoning. He stood up from the boss's chair and was about to leave.
Li Xiaoning was not in a hurry, but said with a slight smirk: "Chief, you can go, but we have to make an agreement."
Liu Qifeng tapped Li Xiaoning with his finger and said, "You kid, you have quite a lot of tricks. Tell me, how do you make a three-chapter agreement?"
"First of all, you must not drive the municipal committee car No. 1, otherwise everyone will know that you went down to inspect the work, and you won't be able to find anything." Li Xiaoning said with a smile.
"That's no problem." Liu Qifeng agreed without thinking, "Let's just find a car. Xiao Tang won't take it with him, so you can drive it. By the way, do you have a driver's license?"
"I took the test when I was in college, and I still have the old B certificate. I can drive except for public transportation!" Li Xiaoning took out his wallet and showed his driver's license.
"That's okay." Liu Qifeng nodded and said, "Can you tell me what those two items are?"
"Second, it's also simple." Li Xiaoning continued, "Since you are going shopping for things, chief, your expectations should not be too high. If you are not lucky, you can go shopping in the entire antique street and still not see anything real."
"That's no problem at all. I can just pretend that I have a half-day of leisure." Liu Qifeng became elegant again unconsciously.
"As for the third point." Li Xiaoning pondered for a moment and said, "When you encounter something that interests you, chief, you can't say anything. I have to bargain for it."
"This is no problem." Liu Qifeng laughed and said, "Xiao Li, don't worry. I will never order an expert from an outsider."
"Okay. Chief, please wait here for a while. I will go to the reception desk to borrow a car first." Li Xiaoning said with a smile. He was also eager to try it. After arriving at Binhai, he had not had a chance to go shopping in the antique street.
It’s uncomfortable to hold back.
On the way, Liu Qifeng told Li Xiaoning why he suddenly wanted to buy antiques. It turned out that three of Liu Qifeng's college classmates were coming to Binhai for vacation. One of them was his old monitor and they had a very good relationship with him. They slept with her when they were in college.
Bunk beds. The two of them not only played ball together, occupied each other's seats for evening study, and helped each other prepare meals, Liu Qifeng also wrote a love letter for the old squad leader. The old squad leader's current wife relied on the love letters written by Liu Qifeng.
I just got it after chasing it. The old squad leader has no other hobbies. His favorite is collecting antiques, so he must choose something that can be sold, and of course it must be genuine.
Li Xiaoning knew that the reason why Liu Qifeng took so much care to prepare the gifts personally was not only because of the friendship between classmates, but the more important reason was that Liu Qifeng's old squad leader must be in a high position now.
While driving, Li Xiaoning followed Liu Qifeng's tone and said: "In fact, the most attractive part of antiques lies in the existence of fakes and counterfeits. If everything was real, there would be no connoisseurs, as collectors say
.Because in that case, all you have to do is compete with who has more money. As good as it is now, although it is possible to spend a lot of money on medicines, it is also possible to miss out and spend a small amount of money to find genuine and high-quality products."
"Your idea is quite novel." Liu Qifeng licked Li Xiaoning's words carefully.
When they arrived at the antique street, the two of them walked back and forth twice. Not to mention someone like Li Xiaoning who frequented the antique market, even Liu Qifeng didn't see anything that caught his eye. Disappointed, the two of them prepared to go
leave.
At this moment, an old man with a southern accent walked up to Liu Qifeng, half a step ahead of Liu Qifeng, followed him forward half-stepping back, and said: "When you look at the boss, he is a rich man, and he doesn't look down on ordinary people.
I have some good things in my hand, come over and take a look?"
Liu Qifeng looked back at Li Xiaoning, what does that mean? Are you going? Li Xiaoning had encountered this situation many times in Liulichang when he was in college. He knew they were all old liars, so he said: "Mr. Liu
, If you don’t leave, you’ll be late for the afternoon meeting.”
The old man immediately realized that Li Xiaoning was the real master. He hurriedly turned to Li Xiaoning and said: "Boss, I saw that you are a good family man. I'd like to show you my face. Go and take a look. It's not far away. It's in the hotel at the corner of the street. I
It's something passed down from our ancestors, and I feel bad if I sell it to others."
Li Xiaoning waved his hand to interrupt him. He had heard this kind of high-hat words in Yanjing Liulichang a lot. He didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but the car happened to be parked at the corner of the street. It was not troublesome to stop by and take a look, so he said
: "Don't say these useless things, take us to see them."
"Okay. Two bosses, come with me." The old man suddenly beamed.
The hotel where the old man stayed was just that kind of roadside shop. Apart from a bed and a table, there was no other extra furniture in the room. When they came in, they found a young man lying on one of the beds, shirtless and sleeping, snoring.
The beating was loud.
Without saying a word, the old man went up to the young man and slapped him across the face. "Damn it, didn't I tell you to look at things carefully? Why did you fall asleep again? What if you lose your baby?"
When Liu Qifeng saw the old man beating his son mercilessly, his heart suddenly became eager. If it wasn't a real treasure, why should the old man be so careful? Li Xiaoning knew that these were actually tricks used by these old liars, but he also
I don't want to say anything, but I want to see what they can come up with.
After the old man gave his son a good beating, he pushed his buttocks under the bed, rummaged through things, and then carefully pulled out a cardboard box. The gaps in the box were filled with waste newspapers and horse manure paper.
The old man slowly opened the carton, took out an object over a foot tall and wrapped in a blanket, carefully carried it and stuffed it into Liu Qifeng's arms.
Just as Liu Qifeng was about to reach out to pick it up, he was already grabbed by Li Xiaoning and dodged away from a distance. Then he sneered and said, "Don't try to blackmail us, we are not novices." He was talking about someone from the antique shop.
The rule is "don't hand over the jade", that is, the two parties will not hand the jade directly to the other party, but one party will put the jade down first, and then the other party will pick it up. This is mainly to prevent mistakes during the handover process. "
"Don't take action" can clearly distinguish the responsibilities of both parties, and the same is true for fragile items such as porcelain.
Many people who don't understand the rules will stretch out their hands to take it when they see a seller handing something to them. As soon as you reach out, the person handing you something will deliberately loosen his hand, and then there will be a "pop" sound, and you can't tell clearly.
The old man smiled "honestly", showing his yellow teeth, turned around, put the things on the table, and then carefully opened the blanket, revealing the true identity of the objects inside.
Seeing that the thing was indeed stable, Li Xiaoning reached out and asked Liu Qifeng to come over and take a look slowly.
As soon as Liu Qifeng saw the thing clearly, his eyes suddenly became eager, but after all, he was also an old official in the officialdom. He was good at concealing the true thoughts in his heart. After being slightly excited, he immediately calmed down and looked back indifferently.
Look at Li Xiaoning.
When Li Xiaoning walked up to him, his heart skipped a beat. Of course, his face was as calm as ever, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
Placed on the table is a flat-belly gourd vase with ribbons and ears - blue and white porcelain.
