"Li Qi! Lao Tzu is not finished with you, m, there is no need to discuss the matter of the China Merchants Association, I am the director of the bureau, I have the final say, it will be opened in the Chengnan community, who will oppose Lao Tzu again!"

Director Ma suddenly broke out in Wang Ba's anger.

Although after this, He Peng's family had another one more to eat, but the matter of the Merchants Association was quickly decided, and the notice was sent early the next morning.

So Wang Xinyi and Su Jing were even busier, He Peng's status at home was even lower, the two daughters kept fighting and he was the one who suffered every time, He Peng had to start hiding out, this evening, He Peng was watching the old man play chess under the street lamp, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder.

Looking back, the face is familiar: "You, who are you?"

"I'm Old Tang, Don Carpenter!"

"Old Tang!" He Peng was taken aback, when he gambled with He Peng that day, Lao Tang was dressed in dirt and could no longer be soiled, and he definitely belonged to the old carpenter at the village level, but today's suit and leather shoes are extraordinary, and there is a tendency to change shotguns.

"Old Tang, you robbed the bank, dog days wear such a formal money to burn. "Although he doesn't have a deep grudge against Tang Carpenter, he is also a little festive, and He Peng's exit is not very polite.

"Hehe, don't hurt me, I'll introduce you. Old Tang pointed to a man in a tunic beside him, "This is Mr. Jiao Yuanqing, the president of our Binhai City Carpenters Association." ”

He Peng saw that this life was very extraordinary, his figure was very thin, standing there like a javelin, with a big back, thick eyebrows, and thin eyes.

The man took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "Fortunately, I have been forcing Lao Tang to take me around the neighborhood to find you in the past few days, but I have found it." ”

He Peng's hand was held by him and he couldn't pull it back: "Uh, are you looking for me?" He Peng thought to himself, could it be that Tang Carpenter was not convinced after losing the gamble, and found the head of the Carpenter Association to take revenge?

"Let's go to our teahouse", Jiao Yuanqing pulled He Peng into a teahouse next to him, and the tea master was invited out as soon as the tea was brewed in the quiet room.

Jiao Yuanqing filled He Peng with a cup: "Mr. He moistens his throat first." ”

"No, let's just say it. He Peng was impatient with his ink, he felt that if he wanted to fight, he would fight, and he would compare, and it would be useless to make the whole cloud and mountain fog.

Carpenter Tang was so thirsty that he drank a cup first, and said: "Little Brother He, I went back that day to report to President Jiao that you are the successor of Lu Sheng, and President Jiao reprimanded me fiercely, he said that how can the heir of Lu Sheng not be courteous in this world? Deliberately put down all affairs and I look for you, the president means that I hope you can join the Carpenters Association, and the president is willing to give up the position of president to Xian!"

"Is there a salary?" asked He Peng.

"Well, not really. ”

"You want me to work for you without pay? I'm busy. He Peng pursed his lips and drank a cup of tea, and he was full of himself, and said in his heart, only fools can do things that are not beneficial.

Jiao Yuanqing smiled: "Although the president has no salary, but can influence the development of the woodworking industry in Binhai City, put forward development suggestions to major woodworking enterprises, formulate industry norms, they will generally listen, although our Binhai City is not as good as those big cities in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but the woodworking enterprises are developing very well, three of the top ten in the national home furnishing industry are in our city, if you want to make a difference in this industry, it is very helpful to be the president." ”

"Oh?" He Peng was a little tempted, the wood carving factory is in the development stage, but limited by the lack of capital can not introduce large-scale modern machinery and equipment, the production capacity can not be improved, although the country's orders are pouring in like snowflakes but are not able to produce so they have to give up, if they become the president, they can pull some investment with those rich large enterprises.

"Well, it's kind of interesting to say that, but since the president is so good, why don't you do it yourself and come to me instead?"

"Haha!" Jiao Yuanqing's eyes flashed, "What is the nostalgia for the position of district president, I Jiao Yuanqing cares about the future of the woodworking industry in Binhai City, I tell you the truth, I ask you to be the president What I care about is the name of your Lu Sheng's heir, Lu Shengmen has been the leader of our carpenter line for thousands of years, as long as you become the president, the world carpenter's guild will be headed by our Binhai City Carpenters Association, which is a great benefit to the development of our Binhai City carpentry enterprises, how can I not let Xian for my own selfishness?"

He Peng's eyes rolled, and he said in his heart that Lao Tzu is the descendant of Lu Sheng, but since you say that there are benefits, it doesn't hurt to be a pawn, but I have to ask about the benefits.

"If I agree, can I get those big companies to invest in my factory?"

"As much as you need!"

"Only invest in shares that can not be divided. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you give appropriate benefits, even if there are no benefits, I Jiao Yuanqing can guarantee to help you bring in funds within 10 million yuan for temporary use. ”

Damn, 10 million free money, it's a fool not to do it.

"Deal, I agreed. He Peng slapped his thigh and immediately agreed.

"Nibble", Carpenter Tang coughed twice and laughed, "But in order to confirm that you are really the descendant of Lu Sheng, we need to take a look at the door master ring of Lu Shengmen."

"Uh!" He Peng was a little confused, he knew what the door owner's ring was, "Hey, this, how can you look at the door owner's ring casually?"

Jiao Yuanqing's face changed, and he glanced at Carpenter Tang suspiciously.

Carpenter Tang immediately said: "President Jiao, don't worry, the little brother is really the descendant of Lu Sheng, I saw the wooden bird hovering with my own eyes that day, the little brother may have something difficult." ”

He Peng said in his heart, isn't it embarrassing, how can Lao Tzu be a fake, how can there be an inheritance ring, his mind suddenly moved, and he quietly gave instructions to the system, "What is the Lu Shengmen inheritance ring for Lao Tzu." ”

Jiao Yuanqing and Tang Carpenter saw He Peng suddenly froze, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the two became suspicious, could it be that he was a fake?

He Peng suddenly laughed, "The inheritance ring is the treasure of the Lu Holy Gate, if you want to see it, you need to fast and bathe before you can come out, so you can come here at ten o'clock in the morning after tomorrow, and I will invite the door master ring out to show you." ”

Jiao Yuanqing and Tang Carpenter's faces suddenly turned from worry to joy, "Okay, that's it." ”

It is normal for the sect to ask for some rules to come out, and the legend says that the door owner's ring in ancient times was indeed only taken out when the carpenter door was an important sacrifice for everyone to see, but He Peng is a fake, where will he care about these, he is just delaying some time, ready to make a fake to fool people, the system has found the door master ring, it is a wooden ring, because the thing has been lost for too long, all the information only a pair of brush hand-drawn drawings and a brief text description, since it is a legendary thing, Lao Tzu will make one according to the legend, who of you can tell it clearly？

Early in the morning of the second day, He Peng went to the Binhai City Cultural Play Market, since it is necessary to counterfeit and counterfeit some, the wood still has to be selected for some years. He Peng wandered around for a long time and finally found a piece of ebony paperweight in a literary store specializing in pen, ink, paper and inkstone, this thing according to the boss said that it was something in the Qin and Han dynasties, the boss offered 100,000 yuan, He Peng was afraid of being fooled and deliberately spent a wisp of e-level life energy to learn the art of ancient wood identification, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this piece of ebony paperweight was not false in the Qin and Han dynasties, but it was cut and transformed from an ebony ornament in the Western Zhou Dynasty in the Qin and Han dynasties, Lu Ban was a person in the Spring and Autumn Period, this piece of ebony is almost impeccable in the age, and the material is ebony by the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, is the spirit of ten thousand trees, the respect of the spirit wood, and the ebony formed by the golden silk nanmu is more precious, with this fake fantasy is also impeccable.

The morning after tomorrow, He Peng came to the teahouse with a fake ring, Jiao Yuanqing and Tang Carpenter had been waiting for a long time, and there was also an old man with white hair.

"Oh, you're early, I've brought the baby, take a look!" He Peng was not verbose, and took out a long piece of ebony from his arms.

The three of them were very nervous, and without saying a word, they put their heads together to look at the wooden blocks on the table, and looked at each other for a while.

Carpenter Tang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother He, don't be kidding, although this piece of ebony is worth a lot of money, it is not a ring no matter how you look at it." ”

He Peng smiled and said nothing, Jiao Yuanqing looked at it suspiciously for a moment, and asked the old man, "Uncle Chang, can you see how it was opened?"

Chang Bo nodded and shook his head, "This box is extremely exquisitely made, if it is an ordinary carpenter, I am afraid that it is a mechanism box, I estimate that it should be more than seven pillars of biting tooth locks, and I can open up to six pillars of locks, forcibly opening may destroy the objects inside." ”

Jiao Yuanqing glanced at He Peng, who was complacent in shock, and suddenly sat upright and bowed, "Please also ask Mr. to open it personally, I can't afford to have that skill." ”

"Oh, what's so hard about this, it's just an eight-post lock. After speaking, he pressed the two points in the middle of the wooden block with two fingers, and the fingers suddenly moved as fast as lightning, and there was a soft snap, and the wooden block actually popped out a handle.

"Just pull it away. He Peng said lightly, pretending to be a master in the world.

Jiao Yuanqing didn't dare to move, and made a gesture of invitation to the old man, the old man solemnly wiped the sweat on the palm of his hand on the corner of his clothes, and then picked up the wooden block, carefully placed it in the palm of his right hand, took a deep breath before gently pulling it away with his left hand, and then pulled out of the handle was a small drawer that was half smaller than a matchbox, and an antique ebony ring was lying quietly in a round groove inside.

The surface of the ring is smooth and shiny, with a faint pulp, obviously very old, but the appearance of the ring is really just a ring, half a centimeter wide and narrow, three millimeters thick, simple and heavy without fancy.

Jiao Yuanqing stared at the old man nervously, and the old man stared at the ring awkwardly for a long time.

In the end, the old man pushed the wooden box in front of He Peng, wiped the sweat on his face, and said in an almost pious tone: "Let's ask the heir of Lu Sheng to open the ring in person, the little old man really doesn't have that ability, this time I didn't even see the mechanism." ”

He Peng smiled and took out the ring and put it on his middle finger, first showed it to the three of them, and suddenly shook his hand, and when the phantom of the hand stopped, a wooden flower bloomed on the surface of the ring, and the petals of the wooden flower were as thin as cicada wings, which was simply ingenious!

The three of them still needed to take a closer look, but He Peng waved his hand, and the ring returned to its original state, and he took it off and put it in the box to close the drawer, returning to the original appearance of the ebony block.

"Okay, you've seen it, what else do you have to say?"

To be honest, the three of them didn't understand, but at this time they had to express their position.

The old man pondered for a moment and said: "From all indications, this is the legendary Lu Shengmen main ring, except for the Lu Shengren back then, it is impossible for a second person to make such a ring for thousands of years, and the material of the ring is obviously taken from the same piece of ebony as the box, and this piece of ebony has obviously been played with for a long time for thousands of years, it should not be fake, the old man knocked on the heir of Lu Sheng!"

After that, he actually leaned down and bowed, although he didn't really hit the ground, the old man's worship was also sincere, which made He Peng quite embarrassed, and he was busy helping him, not wanting Jiao Yuanqing and Tang Carpenter to knock down again, Tang Carpenter slammed his head on the wooden floor.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

The old man said: "After seven hundred years, the descendants of Lu Sheng have reappeared in the world, and the carpenter should bow and salute, which is a rule set by the ancestors that must not be violated." ”

Carpenter Tang got up and said with a smile: "Little brother, you are the descendant of Lu Sheng, in the carpenter's profession, it is equivalent to the most noble status of the emperor in the world, and only this kneeling bow is worthy of your identity." ”

"Nonsense, what era is it now, and you still pay attention to these, the feudal society is long gone, don't do this again in the future, otherwise Lao Tzu will not be arrested as a cult leader." ”

"Uh, yes, yes. The three of them even claimed to be, in fact, they were also embarrassed, no one is suitable for kneeling in the new era, but these people are people who maintain the rules of carpenterhood and don't worship and can't do it, for fear that people will say that the rules are broken, and now He Peng himself said that he is not allowed to worship himself, and everyone is happy.

Jiao Yuanqing took out a seal and a letter of appointment and handed it to He Peng: "In the future, you will be the president of our City Carpenter Association." ”

He Peng smiled and didn't answer, and said in his heart: "As the president, I must be entangled in many things, and Lao Tzu's idle life will be ruined, but I just want to take advantage of it, and I must not take care of one or the other." So he said, "I don't deserve to be the president, just get an honorary president or a vice president who doesn't have to work." ”

"This. Jiao Yuanqing pretended to be embarrassed, "How can your noble status condescend to others, this vice president is absolutely not good, it is better for our association to set up an honorary president to supervise the actions of the big guys and guide the direction of the big guys." ”

"Good, this good. He Peng no longer shirked, and immediately agreed.

The old man also smiled and said nothing, very satisfied with this result, he was also afraid that He Peng would really become the chairman and mess around and spoil these big enterprises in Binhai City.

Jiao Yuanqing said: "On Friday night, we just had a high-level gathering of the carpenters' association, and the bosses of the woodworking enterprises in Binhai City will participate, so we will announce this happy event in public, and you can also get to know the elites in the industry and make it convenient for you to do things in the future." ”

He Peng couldn't ask for it, so he immediately agreed.

After going back, He Peng told Wang Xinyi about it, and Wang Xinyi jumped up with joy: "Great, He Peng, I'll go with you tomorrow, if I can really bring in free investment in our wood carving factory, it will develop rapidly." ”

He Peng couldn't help but be overjoyed, the embarrassing atmosphere that had been deadlocked for several days finally began to thaw, and He Peng invited Su Jing to go with him.

After Su Jing heard about this, she surprisingly didn't make it difficult: "This is a good thing, the wood carving factory really needs a chance to show its image in front of the giants of the woodworking industry, Wang Xinyi is also a person in the woodworking industry to participate in the association party, I am exempt as an outsider, I am very busy preparing for the investment promotion these days, so I won't go." ”

Su Jing's words carried a hint of melancholy, and Wang Xinyi smiled and said, "Oh, Xiao Jingjing is not worried that I will snatch your reserve boyfriend away, if so, hurry up and turn him into a regular one." ”

Su Jing smiled faintly and showed exhaustion: "What nonsense, this is a good thing, I am happy for you." He turned around and went into the bedroom and never came out again.
