Tang Xin deliberately made a look of embarrassment and said, "Director Zhang, I'm afraid this is not very good! Since Director Lu has already rejected your invitation several times, if I rashly take you over for dinner, will it arouse his disgust?"

Zhang Yin said a little anxiously: "Brother, I must ask you for this favor." As long as you help me this time, the affairs of your store, including the problem of your clerk hurting people, will be solved. ”

Tang Xin reluctantly picked up his mobile phone and said, "That's okay, I'll call Director Lu first and ask him for instructions to see if it's appropriate to take you over!"

Zhang Yin hurriedly took his hand and said, "Brother, this call can't be made." If Director Lu does not agree to me going to the banquet after asking for instructions, then there will be no room for maneuver. ”

Tang Xin looked at Zhang Yin with his eyes and asked, "Then according to Director Zhang's meaning, what should I do?"

Zhang Yin said thoughtfully: "You can take me directly to the banquet, and then explain to Director Lu that the two of us have been old friends for many years, and they just met me at the door of the hotel, so they invited me to have dinner by the way." You have such a good relationship with Director Lu, if you take someone to dinner, he will definitely not say anything. And so it was done. ”

Tang Xin pretended to be reluctant, hesitated for a while, and then nodded and said, "That's the only way, I'll risk being criticized by Director Lu and help you this time!"

At around twelve o'clock, Tang Xin took Zhang Yin into the 109 box of the "Yonghua Pavilion" restaurant, and Lu Wuya and two colleagues were already in the box first.

When he saw Zhang Yin, who was bending over and shrugging his shoulders and following behind Tang Xin in a humble state, Lu Wuya's face immediately became gloomy, and he asked dissatisfiedly: "Brother, what's going on? Why didn't you call me in advance when you brought someone?"

Tang Xin explained with a smile: "Brother Lu, this is Deputy Director Zhang of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and he has been an old friend with me for many years. He had just met me at the door and was about to invite me to dinner. I told him that I had made an appointment with a friend, and he said that we would eat together and he would do the cooking. I was too embarrassed to refuse, so I asked him to come along. What's the matter, does Brother Lu know Director Zhang?"

Lu Wuya nodded indifferently and said in a very cold tone: "It's considered an acquaintance!"

Zhang Yin was afraid that he would say something to drive away the guest, so he hurriedly got out from behind Tang Xin, with a flattering smile on his face, and said to Lu Wuya: "Director Lu, today's incident is purely coincidental, don't blame Brother Tang Xin." I originally asked a friend to come to this restaurant for dinner at noon today, but when I arrived here, that friend couldn't come for an emergency.

"It just so happened that Brother Tang walked to the door of the hotel, I think the box has been booked anyway, so I just invite Brother Tang to have a meal together. But Brother Tang said that he had already made an appointment, so I said that it would be better, and it would be more lively for a few more people to eat, so I came up with him. I'm an uninvited guest, so please let Director Lu tolerate Haihan. ”

The other two cadres in the same room persuaded: "Director Lu, since Director Zhang is here, let's eat together, it's just a matter of having one more pair of chopsticks, you can't embarrass Mr. Tang, right?"

Lu Wuya relaxed his stiff face and said to Tang Xin: "Brother, then please take a seat! But I have something to say first: I will cook this meal, and no one here is allowed to rush to pay for it." ”

Zhang Yin saw that Lu Wuya's words were very resolute, so he didn't dare to say anything more, and sat down next to Tang Xin.

Because it was noon, except for Tang Xin, all of the people present were civil servants, so they couldn't drink, and the meal began to be relatively dull.

It wasn't until he was about to finish eating that a colleague named Wei Zhongping of Lu Wuya suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Tang Xin and asked with interest: "Mr. Tang, I heard Director Lu say that you have a very magical kung fu, and you can see the origin of this object and the people and events related to it from the information stored on a certain object, is this true?"

Tang Xin smiled and nodded.

Wei Zhongping immediately took off a string of beeswax beads from his wrist, handed it to Tang Xin, and said, "Please Mr. Tang take a look at this string of beads and tell me about his origin and other relevant information." ”

Tang Xin took the beads and stroked them for a while, handed them back to the man, and said, "Brother Wei, this string of beads was given to you by your cousin." Your cousin's surname is Wang, his name is Wang Dafu, and he opened a jewelry store in Antique Street in Luohua City, neighboring province. Last year, when you celebrated your thirtieth birthday, your cousin came back from Luohua City to celebrate your birthday and gave you this string of beads as a birthday present. Isn't that right?"

Wei Zhongping's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "It's really amazing, it's amazing! When Director Lu told us about your magic yesterday, we didn't believe it. What I saw with my own eyes today was really an eye-opener!"

Lu Wuya's other colleague was also surprised, and took off the watch he was wearing on his wrist, asking Tang Xin to tell where he bought it and how much it was. After Tang Xin took the watch and touched it, he answered his question accurately, which once again attracted an exclamation.

After Tang Xin returned the watch to that person, he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Yin and said with a smile: "Director Zhang, among the leaders here, you are the only one who has not tested my skills. Why don't you take the watch off your wrist and show it to me? I'm sure I can tell where it came from and all that. ”

Zhang Yin was startled, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Brother, I absolutely believe in your magic skills, and there is no need to test it again." ”

Lu Wuya, who was on the other side, stared at him with a sharp gaze and said, "Director Zhang, the watch on your wrist is not particularly valuable, so why not show it to Brother Tang? This is a game, you don't need to be so nervous." ”

Zhang Yin was told by him, and he didn't dare to shirk it anymore, so he had to hold a bit of luck, and slowly took off the Vacheron Constantin watch worth 80,000 yuan on his wrist and handed it to Tang Xin.

Tang Xin took the watch and touched it with his finger wearing the ring, and a trace of joy suddenly appeared on his face: it turned out that from the information screens stored on the watch, he saw a lot of pictures of Zhang Yin asking for bribes and accepting bribes. Among them, the most common bribery scene is in a teahouse called "Si Yiyuan". And the one who gave him the most bribes was Zhao Yougong, the chairman of Wenda Group.

In addition, from those messages, he also found out that the proprietress of the "Si Yiyuan" teahouse, named Wu Chunli, was Zhang Yin's lover. This teahouse was opened by Zhang Yin for Wu Chunli.

And this "Vacheron Constantin" watch was given to Zhang Yin by Wu Chunli as a birthday gift five years ago......

After keeping all the information in mind, Tang Xin handed the watch back to Zhang Yin, and said quietly: "Director Zhang, your watch contains a lot of information, and it will be unclear for a while, after the banquet is over, I will tell you alone!"

While speaking, he quietly glanced at Lu Wuya opposite, signaling him not to ask for the information on Zhang Yin's watch.

Lu Wuya understood, lowered his head and hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food, then stood up and said, "Have you eaten enough?" I have to take a break at noon, and I will leave first!"
