The sky is beautiful, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful.
The air is warm and comfortable, and the real spring is long overdue.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Dong Xuebin drove his Mercedes-Benz business back to Beijing. He slept at Huilan's house until after ten o'clock last night. When he went back to his own house, he felt sleepy after sleeping for a while, so he simply climbed out of bed before five o'clock in the morning.
I got up and drove over to the capital. Tomorrow was Mrs. Han's birthday party. I had to prepare gifts in advance. I also had to go to Director Xu Yanxu's place and Qu Yunxuan's place. There were a lot of things this weekend.
At this time, the phone rang and it was Xie Hao's number.
Dong Xuebin slowed down the car and answered with a smile, "Hey, Xiaohao."
"Haha, brother-in-law, it's my aunt's birthday, when will you come to Beijing?" Xie Hao is always so cheerful.
"I have already arrived in the capital and am driving towards the city. Where are you following?"
"Ah, are they all here? I'm with my second sister. We just bought gifts for my aunt. Hey, you should have told me earlier. If you had known, we would have gone together."
"It's early enough for you. Where are you? I'll go find you."
After writing down the address, Dong Xuebin speeded up the car and drove towards Beicheng. The gift for Mrs. Han must not be neglected. If the gift is too shabby, it will not only disgrace himself, but also Xie Huilan's face will not look good, it is too tacky.
No, so Dong Xuebin planned to see what Xiaohao and Xiaojing bought first, and then inquire about Mrs. Han's preferences before making a decision. Moreover, he owed Xie Jing a favor a while ago, and knowing that Xiaohao was with her, he had to do it no matter what.
Go over and treat her to a meal or something. She was very helpful in what happened last week.
Near Beichen.
Under an overpass, Dong Xuebin stopped the car and looked around.
"Brother-in-law!" Not far away, Xie Hao stuffed a bunch of candied haws into his mouth and waved vigorously.
Xie Jing held a small bowl that seemed to be from a folk kiln in the Ming Dynasty, nodded to Dong Xuebin with a smile, and then walked over to the car with Xie Hao.
Throwing the candied haws sticks along the road, Xie Hao wiped his lips and said, "Brother-in-law, you came just in time. We are trying to catch a taxi on the roadside."
Dong Xuebin said happily: "Okay, do you think of me as a coolie?"
Xie Hao chuckled, "How dare I? I'm just on my way, and by the way, let me show you what my second sister and I bought!"
What they both bought were antiques, one was porcelain from a folk kiln, and the other was a boxwood handle.
Dong Xuebin blinked, "Mrs. Han also likes antiques?"
"It's not bad." Xie Jing in the back seat said with a smile: "The main reason is that we don't know what to buy anymore. Gold or cosmetics are really not of good taste. I have given away other things before. Haha, my eldest sister is very fond of antiques.
I'm interested, and my aunt also likes these, especially the porcelain, so I bought one today because it looked good."
If it were easier like this, Dong Xuebin would just go back to the company and pick up an antique.
After talking for a while, Xie Jing suddenly said: "Brother Dong, come to my house. You agreed to treat me to dinner, and you also said that you would cook it yourself?"
Dong Xuebin said happily: "No problem, let's go."
"Drive forward, it's not far from here." Xie Jing said.
Dong Xuebin exclaimed, "This is where the Xinhua News Agency dormitory is?"
"No, it's my old house. I've never lived there." Xie Jing stretched out her hand to point him in the direction and said, "Someone died upstairs some time ago. I'm a superstitious person. Last month
My aunt and I invited a Bodhisattva elephant to come back to the town. It has been a month. I just happened to return it this time. I have packed up the house and prepared to live here for a while. There has been something going on in the dormitory of my work unit recently.
A lot of people have come to see me for errands these days, and I don’t want to go back, otherwise I won’t be able to have a quiet weekend.”
Xie Hao chuckled and said, "Second sister is so capable, why doesn't anyone ask me for help?"
"Are you looking for a fight?" Xie Jing smiled and glanced at him.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Isn't your Personnel Bureau conducting inspections on cadres in charge? Are there any vacancies recently?"
Xie Jing smiled bitterly and said: "That's not it. It's just a personnel exchange. Select some comrades with outstanding achievements from the grassroots media news departments to come to the Xinhua News Agency headquarters, run with each department team, learn from experience, and exchange results.
Well, it’s also called an internship. According to you, it’s gold-plated. Although I won’t stay in Xinhua News Agency, it’s still a qualification that will be of great help for future promotions. No, the exchange quota is given to our Personnel Bureau.
The reviewers, all the monsters and monsters came the next day, they all have something to do with it, so I can’t push it away, so I might as well just hide away.”
Dong Xuebin said: "Xinhua News Agency is very popular."
"This is true for people of all generations who have Chinese characters. If you want to develop in the journalism world, who wouldn't want to come here to get a layer of gold?"
“Do we also have quotas in Yantai County?” Dong Xuebin asked.
Xie Jing shook her head without thinking, "Absolutely not. The list was booked early in the morning. It was just a matter of going through the procedures for us at the Personnel Bureau. There are only a dozen places, and there are too many people competing for them."
There are only one or two people who can make the decision, and there are more monks than meat, so I hid, otherwise I would offend others.
While they were chatting about personnel exchanges, Xie Hao couldn't listen anymore, "Say, can we change the topic? Why can't we stop talking about work?"
"Haha..." Dong Xuebin and Xie Jing looked at each other and smiled.
In a very ordinary community.
After driving in, Dong Xuebin followed Xie Jing's instructions and stopped in front of a building.
After getting off the car, Xie Hao looked up and looked around, and said with nostalgia: "Second sister, do you still remember when you were a child and you took me to have a snowball fight in the yard? Just here, you bullied me when I was little, holding up a big snowball that I didn't know where to find.
The ball was thrown at me, hey, later on we were covered in water and caught a cold. My eldest sister came and pointed at our noses and scolded us. You were not convinced and you talked back. The result was...
My eldest sister grabbed her ears and beat her, haha."
Xie Jing glared at him, "You were too naughty when you were a child, so you knew how to make me angry. Who would I hit if I didn't hit you?"
"Hmph, you are bullying the younger. You are ten years older than me, and you have no sense of humility. You bullied me, and in the end, my sister got beaten up." Xie Hao gloated.
"Your eldest sister has never beaten you? Huh?"
"...Ahem, anyway, you didn't beat me that time."
Listening to the two chatting about their childhood, Dong Xuebin also smiled and said to himself that no wonder Xie Huilan, the eldest sister, had such a high prestige. Xie Hao was afraid of her, Xie Jing was afraid of her, and Xie Ran also respected her. It turned out that Huilan was the one who beat her.
I beat a few of them when I was young, and my eldest sister is like my mother. Thinking about the young Xie Huilan pulling their ears with a straight face, Dong Xuebin wanted to laugh a little, and also really wanted to see the photos of Sister Xie when she was a teenager. I'm sure
Very cute.
Entering the corridor of the second unit, Xie Hao and Xie Jing were still arguing.
"Second sister, I'm not telling you, you're so cowardly." Xie Hao stepped on her and said, "Isn't it just someone who died in the house above you? It scared you. You haven't been here for a month."
Do you dare to live here? What kind of Bodhisattva can you invite to ward off evil spirits? It’s feudal superstition, you are feudal superstition.”
Xie Jing said angrily: "What do you know?"
Xie Hao said: "Thankfully, my aunt actually lent you the Bodhisattva. That is my aunt's treasure."
"Keep your voice down!" Xie Jing gave him a look.
Dong Xuebin asked curiously: "What Bodhisattva?"
Clearing her throat, Xie Jing whispered as she went upstairs: "It's a sandstone seated Bodhisattva from the Tianlongshan Grottoes in the Tang Dynasty." Seeing Dong Xuebin startled, Xie Jing smiled and said: "Brother Dong also knows antiques? I'm being disrespectful.
If you click on it, the market auction price of this Bodhisattva elephant in the past few years was around 10 million. If it goes up for auction now, it would be at least tens of millions. It can be regarded as an antique among antiques. It was originally an heirloom of my grandfather."
Is it for Mr. Xie?
family heirloom?
Dong Xuebin secretly thought that it was no wonder. If it were not passed down from his family, the Xie family would not be able to afford it no matter how rich they were. It would cost tens of millions, and there was no direct business person in the Xie family.
Dong Xuebin asked curiously: "Mr. Xie gave it to Mrs. Han?"
Xie Jingyi said, "When my uncle got married, the old man gave the Bodhisattva statue to my eldest son. Later, my aunt offered the Bodhisattva as an offering. It was so precious that even my eldest sister wanted to touch it when she was little.
Even if they don’t let me, hehe, I begged my aunt for several days last month. After all, she only lent me the money for a month. If I don’t give it back on my birthday tomorrow, she should glare at me.”
Xie Hao smiled and said: "If you break it, my aunt will have to eat you."
"Go, stop cursing your sister." He walked up to the fourth floor with a smile. When he turned around, Xie Jing took out the key and opened the door.
Click click click, click click click...
"Huh?" Xie Jing was suddenly startled, "Why is the keyhole broken?"
Dong Xuebin was stunned and looked over, "Can't you get the key in? Did you get the wrong one?"
"No." Looking at the key in her hand, Xie Jing thrust it into the door again. This time she tried a little harder, but the door was pushed open and it was unlocked!?
Seeing the signs of being pried on the keyhole again, Dong Xuebin immediately said: "Thief!"
Xie Jing and Xie Hao's expressions changed drastically, and they pushed the door open and entered the house!
The floor was in a mess, clothes and pillows were scattered all over the floor, the mattresses were lifted, and all the cupboard and wardrobe doors were wide open. It was obvious that they had been stolen by thieves!
"It's broken!" Xie Hao exclaimed, "The Bodhisattva statue!"
Xie Jing's face turned pale and she hurriedly ran to the small bedroom, "Safe! Safe! Don't let anything happen! Don't let anything happen!" Of course Xie Jing was worried about leaving such a valuable thing at home, so she borrowed it from Bodhisattva.
At that time, I also bought a small safe with a password.
In the ransacked bedroom.
Xie Jing and Dong Xuebin rummaged around hurriedly, peeling off the sheets on the floor and opening the cabinet in the corner.
But unfortunately, the safe that was supposed to be in the corner was missing!
Was taken away directly by a thief??
Xie Jing mixed the garlic under her feet and immediately fell down on the bed, "It's over! The Bodhisattva statue is lost! Lost! I...I...how can I talk to aunt..."
Xie Hao said angrily: "I'm so stupid! What bastard stole it!"
