"You sit for a while, Elder Qi is also here, I'll go and receive it. ”

Looking at the lobby below from the window of the private room, Zhao Tianming saw Qi Lao, left a word, and returned to the lobby.

Liu Yunfei was a little surprised when he heard that Qi Lao was also here today, and he was about to say hello and greet him with a full courtesy, but when he saw that his old man was actually beside him, he immediately retracted his head and stopped thinking about greeting.

Zhao Tianming went down to the crowded lobby, and Vice President Yang was already receiving Qi Lao and them.

"Elder Qi, your arrival is really a great honor for me! Please take a seat, I have arranged a private room No. 1. ”

"No need, just arrange a private room for us with multiple people, and it won't be so boring for a few of us old men to sit together. ”

Liu Lao waved his hand and said, next to him was Xie Lao, who was proficient in the art of wood carving, and Zhao Tianming saw it relatively rarely.

Zhao Tianming went over to say hello, took over the work of hospitality, and asked Vice President Yang to deal with the others.

"Elder Qi, Elder Liu, Elder Xie, it hasn't started yet, why did you come here so early?" Zhao Tianming greeted them one by one.

"I'm a little free, so I'll come and see how you're doing, it's pretty good! Qi Lao looked around, nodded and said.

"Don't look at me, I'm from old Zila. Liu Lao said.

Zhao Tianming was about to take Qi Lao and them to the private room, when an employee in charge of reception told him that a person named Hong Jianzhen was looking for him outside the door.

Zhao Tianming was a little surprised, didn't Director Hong say that he had been very busy recently? Why did he come over? and he also looked for himself by name, there would be nothing wrong, right?

"Elder Qi, I'll let someone take you over, Director Hong is also here, I'll go and receive it. ”

Without hesitation, Zhao Tianming said apologetically to Qi Lao and the others.

"Director Hong, he rarely comes to this kind of occasion, why didn't he make a sound?"

Liu Lao was also very surprised, Hong Jianzhen, as a senior member of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, naturally knew him and was still an acquaintance.

Usually we have also done a lot of artistic exchanges, the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau encountered some problems, asked him to help a lot of times, some of the cultural relics with research value, he got his hands are directly donated to the Cultural Relics Bureau, is definitely the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau's guests.

"Then you go pick him up, and then bring him to our private room, just in time to get together with old friends. Qi Lao said.

When he went out to the reception at the door, Zhao Tianming saw Director Hong observing around with his hands behind his back, he walked over and said, "Director Hong, why are you here too?"

"It's different to be the boss, treat this place as your home, and come over and talk to you?"

Director Hong was obviously in a good mood, and joked with a smile: "I don't know the process of your auction houses very well, come here and see for a long time." ”

Zhao Tianming sweated: "Director Hong said that you laughed, you haven't seen any storms, where can you see us petty fighters." ”

"If you can get a national treasure-level painting of Xu Wei as the finale, your little fight is not simple, right?" said Director Hong, shaking the brochure in his hand.

"Director Hong, Elder Qi and Elder Liu are also inside, waiting for us, let's go in first!"

Zhao Tianming knew that Director Hong was probably coming for this Xu Weimo treasure, and he was really a little impatient.

"The two old men are here too? Then I'll have to go in and say hello." ”

Although Director Hong is a big official, in front of these masters, he never puts an official position, and in real terms, he has to be younger than the previous generation, and he has to perform the junior ceremony.

However, after all, he is an official figure, and everyone will not take him seriously, they all respect each other, after all, Director Hong has also made a lot of contributions to antique cultural relics, not those moths of corpse vegetarian meals.

When the two sides met, they chatted again, and at the same time brewed a pot of good Longjing tea and complained to each other.

"I didn't expect them to come too? ”

was drinking tea and chatting, looking at the excitement below the hall, Qi Lao suddenly frowned and put down the teacup and said.

"What's worth your concern? Liu Lao looked under the window, but he didn't see anything, so he couldn't help asking.

"A former friend of Gusu and a deputy director of the Suzhou Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau came to me yesterday and asked me to help inquire about the whereabouts of the Kun Gong knife, probably as a Jiangnan cultural relic to be recovered. ”

Qi Lao said unhappily, his friend was just leading the way, and the deputy director was the one who spoke. This kind of person is not necessarily really worried about cultural relics, but probably, it is still for the sake of making some political achievements! He also bullies the people with officials, which is shameless enough.

There were so many people in Gusu at that time, and after studying the things in their hands, they returned them, and they didn't say anything to intercept them.

He's good, and thousands of mountains and rivers come here just to dig up a piece of meat.

For this kind of person, he naturally refused unceremoniously.

Zhao Tianming knew that this was probably the last time that the group of people was exerting their strength, and it was really a big deal to find a deputy director of the Cultural Relics Bureau to come over. However, he is not worried at all, what if he finds him? He is determined not to hand him over, and the other party can't do anything to him, can he still rob him?

Of course, this is also the reason why there are many backings such as Qi Lao and Director Hong, even if they don't say a word, as long as they know the existence of this kind of thing, the situation is very different.

In other words, if you are an ordinary person, you really rob it, and you have no way to ask for help.

"This kind of, just leave it to Director Hong to deal with, he can play Tai Chi for a hundred years, I don't believe he can still grind here every day. ”

As soon as Qi Lao said this, Liu Lao would be able to find the target, the following two people were wearing formal clothes, one of them was not small, and his official authority was all the year round, which could be seen at a glance.

"Xiao Zhao, you don't have to pay attention to this kind of person, just try to avoid him, he can't find you, he will do nothing in vain, even if he finds you, if you are tough, he can't do anything to you. ”

Director Hong automatically took it over and said, obviously agreeing with Liu Lao's statement. There is no unified statement for this kind of thing, how can it be possible to reach out and ask for it in vain?

"Director Hong, you better not come forward, it will make it difficult for you. Zhao Tianming said that everyone is in the same system, and it will be embarrassing to meet in the future.

"It's okay, I'm only responsible for the identification of cultural relics, and I'm not in charge of external exchanges, and I don't have much contact with them, so it's difficult to find me. Director Hong said nonchalantly.

For this deputy director who is higher than him, he doesn't think much of it, and it's no problem to stop him at a critical moment.

The Cultural Relics Bureau may be a good place for some people to make money, but it is not a real department with limited influence.

For example, he himself, in addition to having some influence in the circle, in the official, not many people really take him Hong Jianzhen seriously, and his peers are light, so he naturally doesn't care too much about a deputy director.

What's more, although his position is a little lower, he is not the other party's direct subordinate, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

"I know, it's a big deal that I said that something is missing, he can't let me find it back or compensate for it, right?" Zhao Tianming said.

"That's fine. Liu Lao nodded approvingly.
