Chapter 39: The Insider
Seeing that it was already a meal, Zheng Zheng bought something casually and made do with it, and then sat in the store and took a nap. Although he didn't exert much effort this morning, he was also tired. It's just a matter of completing the transaction in the afternoon, the key is that the dinner with Zheng Yonghe in the evening is estimated to be difficult to deal with, and Zheng Zheng also wants to take advantage of this leisure time to rest and rest.
However, Zheng Zheng's plan fell through, and before he could squint, his peers in the antique street came to Donglai Pavilion.
Most of the people who came came in the morning, and a few of them, Zheng Zheng looked at Mian Sheng, who came after hearing the news. Although Zheng Zheng is not willing to deal with these people too much, he can only deal with it mentally when he comes to the door.
The purpose of these people coming is very clear, those who came over in the morning just wanted to tell Zheng Zheng that it was not their intention to come to Donglai Pavilion this morning, and Zheng Zheng also knew this in his heart, but it was not troublesome.
And the other purpose of these people is to see the "Qingming Riverside Map" that sold for 3 million, and they want to have long eyes. The people who had been to Donglai Pavilion in the morning had not seen the paintings, and they were also curious. And those who heard about it found it even harder to believe the news like this joke.
Zheng Zheng originally thought that this matter didn't matter, but after thinking about it, he rejected their idea. Bai Shan and others bought this painting at a high price after seeing the "Western Capital City Wangji Antique Store", thinking that there should be other content in this painting, and it is an important content that can be seen just by looking at it.
If they are allowed to see this painting, it will not be easy to speak in front of Bai Shan in the future, and if Bai Shan is unwilling to buy this painting for this reason, three million yuan will be disrupted.
Everyone entangled Zheng Zheng for a while, and seeing Zheng Zheng's firm attitude, everyone stopped doing this useless work and began to make friends with Zheng Zheng.
You must know that after this incident, Zheng Zheng's reputation has been greatly enhanced, and the entire antique street is talking about this matter, and it is estimated that it will not be long before even those antique collectors and buyers will know Zheng Zheng's name. If you don't set up a relationship now, it will be too late to set up a relationship when that time.
I managed to deal with these people, and by the time everyone left, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. Zheng Zheng rubbed his temples that were a little swollen, and was just about to slow down, but Bai Shan came.
Seeing Bai Shan coming, Zheng Zheng's originally somewhat sluggish spirit immediately perked up. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Bai Shan handed over a check for three million to Zheng Zheng, got the "Qingming Riverside Map", and completed the transaction. The two said "fortune" to each other, and Bai Shan hurriedly left Donglai Pavilion.
Looking at the check in his hand, Zheng Zheng was hit hard by the series of zeros, and this "windfall" in various senses made Zheng Zheng not very able to digest the impact for a while.
After the excitement, Zheng Zheng quickly started to worry again: Where is it more appropriate to put this small piece of paper representing three million? Put it in the safe, the previous jade bracelet is vivid, and it is obvious that it is extremely unsafe; it is even more unreliable to keep it with you, in case you lose it carelessly, Zheng Zheng feels that she can die of distress. Thinking about it and thinking about it for no result, Zheng Zheng stuffed the check into his wallet fiercely, and secretly scolded in his heart: ", rich people have rich people's troubles, this sentence is really wrong." Lao Tzu is out of the way, and the province is so scared. ”
"Jingle Bell ......"
As soon as he finished sending it, Zheng Zheng's mobile phone rang. He glanced at the phone number of the caller, pressed the connect button, and said angrily: "Old soy milk, you are playing tricks very well, don't you have to have dinner...... Where are you now? Come to my shop. ”
"I'm right in front of the store, come out quickly, boy. Zheng Yonghe's tone obviously changed a lot, not like the attitude when he and Zheng Zheng laughed at each other before, but it made Zheng Zheng feel a little reprimanded by his elders.
Zheng Zheng cleaned up the store briefly, walked out of the store, and saw Zheng Yonghe leaning against the car, holding a cigarette with a boring face.
"Get in the car. ”
"Where are you going?" Zheng Zheng asked.
Zheng Yonghe threw away the cigarette, sighed softly, and said, "Go to a restaurant I like to go to." ”
……
"Here?" Zheng Zheng got out of the car, looked at the restaurant in front of him, and then looked at Zheng Yonghe, who was driving an Audi A6, he felt that this was really a bit out of tune.
Zheng Yonghe nodded and walked towards this small restaurant on the corner of the street, with a total of less than 20 square meters. Zheng Zheng shook his head and walked in after him.
Business in the restaurant was not very good, only two or three people sat sporadically. Zheng Yonghe found a place to sit down, looked around, and said with some emotion: "I haven't been here for a long time, but there is still no change here." ”
"You know the owner of this shop very well?" Zheng Zheng asked suspiciously.
Zheng Yonghe shook his head, he looked at the middle-aged shopkeeper who was hanging on the side, and said, "I am more familiar with the father of the current owner, since this shop was replaced by his son, this is the first time I have come here to eat." ”
Zheng Zheng was not interested in chatting with Zheng Yonghe, he nodded, and then said: "It seems that you are still a die-hard fan of this, okay, I am not interested in hearing about your relationship with this store, should we talk about something serious?"
"There's no rush. Zheng Yonghe greeted the shopkeeper, and then said to Zheng Zheng: "Order food first, and talk while eating later." ”
“……”
After waiting for almost twenty minutes, Zheng Yonghe's four cold dishes, two bottles and two pots had already been served. He poured himself a glass of wine, raised his neck and drank it all, and took a sip of wine: "Although this wine is cheap, it tastes good, don't you drink a glass?"
"I'll forget it. Zheng Zheng looked at the wine in front of him and shook his head, he really didn't have the mood to eat and drink now.
"Forget it, both bottles are mine. Zheng Yonghe didn't force him, took the wine in front of Zheng Zheng, then lit a cigarette and took a puff, and said: "Almost twenty years ago, I was sitting with a person, and I was also sitting in the position where we are sitting now, and I was also sitting face-to-face drinking like us. ”
Zheng Zheng was stunned for a moment, did not interrupt Zheng Yonghe, and waited quietly for him to continue.
"I was really poor back then, just like this, I drank the two pots separately. At that time, the two of us were drinking and said, ah, if we mix well in the future, then we will each buy a bottle and have a good time. If one bottle is not enough, one person will buy a box, and whoever drinks and vomits first will be cowardly. ”
While speaking, Zheng Yonghe smiled at Zheng Zheng, who was a little stunned, raised his head again, and drank a glass of wine.
"But then something happened, and that person was ...... because of a Well...... Quite an important thing left the Western Capital. Zheng Yonghe looked at one place, but there was no focus in his eyes, obviously recalling: "At that time, I also wanted to persuade him, but there was really nothing to persuade in that matter, so I didn't speak." After he left, I also came to this restaurant to drink, but I couldn't find the feeling of drinking alone, so I slowly stopped coming. ”
"Nearly twenty years have passed since he left, and no one knows where he is. I also wanted to look for him, but I knew his temper, and even if I found him, I guess he wouldn't give me a good look, so I didn't look for him much. ”
"Finally. ”
Zheng Yonghe's eyes refocused, he looked at Zheng Zheng, and said: "I finally heard the news about him a few years ago, and I wanted to inquire about it at the time, but after thinking about it later, I felt that this was not appropriate, so I put this matter aside for the time being." ”
He looked at Zheng Zheng, who was shocked, and said word by word: "Your father Zheng Yongping is my cousin, and in terms of seniority, you have to call me uncle." ”
"Uh...... Old soy milk. Zheng Zheng was silent for a while, then blinked, looked at Zheng Yonghe and said, "If you don't want to tell me, forget it, make up such a thing...... I have to say, it really seems like that. ”
"I know you don't believe it. ”
Zheng Yonghe shook his head with a wry smile, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said, "When you first came to the Western Capital City two years ago, you should have visited the Zheng family's mansion according to your father's wishes. But at that time, you and Zheng Yongming, that is, Zheng Bei's father, had a dispute without saying a word, Zheng Bei was angry and wanted to beat you, but you beat you hard. If I'm not mistaken, he must have been in the hospital for a week, right?"
Looking at Zheng Zheng, who was shocked, Zheng Yonghe smiled and said, "Originally, the head of the Zheng family was ready to let you enter the Zheng family, but because of the conflict between you and Zheng Bei, you were not willing to return to the Zheng family at that time, so this matter was temporarily shelved." Later, you went to Wang Qian's antique shop, and he happened to lack a shopkeeper to hold the plate, so you went to make a shopkeeper for him, and it has been two years until now. ”
"You see what I'm saying is wrong, help me add that?"
"This matter ......" Zheng Zheng licked his lips that were a little dry, and said: "Many people in the Zheng family know about this matter, and you may not be able to say it." If this can be used as evidence, I can still prove that I am the head of the Zheng family. ”
"Can you prove that you are the head of the Zheng family......? That's right. ”
Zheng Yonghe glanced at Zheng Bei with a strange look in his eyes, then took out his mobile phone, and said with a wry smile: "Since I said that you don't believe it, I'll let another person say it, depending on whether you believe it or not." ”
"Isn't this mobile phone number a little familiar?" Zheng Yonghe dialed out a mobile phone number, and then put the mobile phone in front of Zheng Zheng and lit up. Zheng Zheng glanced at it, frowned, and said, "This is Zheng Bei's mobile phone number." ”
Zheng Yonghe nodded, then pressed the dial-out button, and turned on the hands-free again.
After a ringtone, a young man's voice came from the phone: "Second uncle." ”
Zheng Zheng's eyes widened involuntarily, this voice was very familiar to him, this was Zheng Bei's voice, it would never be fake.
"Xiaobei. Zheng Yonghe glanced at Zheng Zheng quite proudly, and said unhurriedly: "Tell the old man, I am going to eat out with my friends tonight, and I won't go back for dinner." ”
"Okay, second uncle. Zheng Bei's voice was very respectful, obviously not daring to be a little contemptuous of Zheng Yonghe.
Zheng Yonghe stopped talking and hung up the phone. He looked at Zheng Zheng, who had a strange expression, and asked with concern: "What's the matter? Can't accept the impact of calling me an old brother before and now calling me uncle? Do you want to drink a glass of wine to suppress the shock?"
"Let's not say that this is true or not, I want to ask you something. If you can't tell, whoever you are, I'm going to beat you up right now. Zheng Zheng looked at Zheng Yonghe with a look of vigilance, and asked, "You know about my trip to the Zheng family's mansion, and you also know about my visit to Wang Qian's shop, and there happens to be someone you know in the antique street...... Have you been spying on me for the past two years?"
"No, absolutely not. ”
Zheng Yonghe's head swung like a rattle: "I definitely didn't do that." Xu Ran was because he had business dealings with me, so we met. As for you, I really happened to meet you in the bulk street, and I really don't recognize you if you don't say that you are Zheng Zheng of Donglai Pavilion. ”
"Is that really the case?" Zheng Zheng still didn't believe it.
"Lie that you're a grandson. Zheng Yonghe's words are categorical.
"That's good. But what do you mean by telling me about it now? You could have explained it when you saw me before, so why do you have to wait until now?"
Zheng Yonghe shook his head and said, "I didn't want to wait until now to tell you, according to my thoughts, you will know about this matter later." It's just that Zheng Bei went to look for you today, and there was such a big incident, so I can only expose it. And now is the time to tell you these things, although it is a little hasty, but it is still the right time. ”
"This matter has something to do with Zheng Bei?" Zheng Zheng heard what Zheng Yonghe meant, and listened to Zheng Yonghe's meaning, Zheng Bei's matter was not only not over, but just a beginning.
Zheng Yonghe spit out a puff of cigarette, and in the smoke, he narrowed his eyes and said with a strange smile: "Wang Qian has returned to the Western Capital City today, do you know the news?"
