Zheng Xudong's phone calls did not stop when he sent off the "Vatican", and for a while a certain group in France offered an offer for the "Declaration of Independence", and for a while a certain group in the United States gave "Savior Mundi" The oil painting offered, and a certain group of Japanese benzene gave Shuzhu Maru Hengji an offer, in short, the phone calls were one after another, and in the end he simply handed the phone into Sean's hands, and asked him to make a table to record what kind of price each country, group or individual came up with to get what antiques, and finally he had to choose one of the top three in the price to make a deal, even if he couldn't choose a deal, he could use this price to bargain with the person or the government he wanted.

He himself went to the studio to sort out the songs in his head, and half an hour later, Sean came into the room and said to him: "The French counselor just called and said that their French ambassador was coming to the magic capital on the nearest flight, and asked you if it was okay to hand over at 2 o'clock in the afternoon?"

"Tell him to make the handover at Citibank headquarters at 2 p.m. ”

"Okay, I'll get back to him. Sean closed the door and went out.

At noon, Zheng Xudong, Sean and Tang Luoyong had a simple bite of food in the small restaurant outside, and then got into the car, Zheng Xudong said: "Let's go to Xinhua Bookstore to have a look first, it's still early anyway." ”

"Which Xinhua bookstore to go to?" asked Tang Luoyong.

"Let's go to the Tomson Financial Building, No. 710 Dongfang Road, Pudong New District, which is closer to the headquarters of Citibank, so it is convenient for us to go over for a while. ”

"Okay. Tang Luoyong kicked the accelerator and drove towards the Pudong New District.

When I arrived at the scene of Xinhua Bookstore, I found out what is called a sea of people, but fortunately, the staff of the bookstore organized it properly, and let the people who bought books line up along the sidewalk to buy in an orderly manner.

"Yifei, are you in the car?"

"Yes, I went to Xinhua Bookstore to see the live sale of your novel, you didn't see it, the scene is too hot. Liu Yifei's excited voice could be heard from the telephone receiver.

"You look back. Zheng Xudong said with a smile in the car.

"Turning back?。。。 Yes!... Liu Yifei saw his lover's Kaibaihe battle shield parked not far behind his car, screamed excitedly, took out a mask from the car's storage compartment and put it on his face, opened the car door and ran to the car behind.

Zheng Xudong saw her coming to the front of the car, and quickly opened the car door to let her up, "Villain, why are you here? Are you here to supervise my work?" Liu Yifei took off his mask and kissed Zheng Xudong on the face after getting into the car.

"How dare I check my boss's work, and besides, I didn't know that you were in this Xinhua bookstore, how about it?

"Yes, I didn't expect that your three novels are selling very well, especially the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which is simply in short supply, and the three books on sale this time are listed simultaneously in Xinhua bookstores in first, second and third-tier cities across the country. Otherwise, there will be many book lovers who can't buy it, and there will be pirated books that will be empty. I've been selling a few books this morning, and they've all been so popular, and the staff at Xinhua Bookstore said they hadn't seen such a hot book sale scene for many years. ”

"I've worked hard for you in the past two days, so I will go to the United States this weekend to participate in a few activities, and there are some advertisements to shoot, and when I come back, you will start to prepare for the signing activities, and if there are advertisers in China, you can choose some internationally famous brands, I can't favor one over the other, and delay the development of domestic companies." I'm going to go out on errands soon, so I won't talk to you more, and we'll talk about it when we get up at night. He whispered the last sentence in her ear.

Liu Yifei was reluctant to hear him say that he was going to the United States for the weekend, but after hearing it, she was so moved that she couldn't do it, and the last sentence made her blush and red, and after pinching his arm with her little hand, she looked at him with silky eyes, "Villain, look how I punish you at night!" said and put on a mask and got out of the car.

Two o'clock in the afternoon. Citibank President's Office. When Zheng Xudong arrived, in addition to Ou Zhaolun, there was a mature white woman sitting on the sofa in the president's office, who looked to be in her forties and almost fifty years old. She smiled and Ou Zhaolun got up to him.

"Mr. Zheng, let me introduce that this is Ms. Sylvie Bermann, the French Ambassador to China, who is here today to participate in the ceremony of welcoming back the Code of Hammurabi. Ou Zhaolun said with a smile.

Zheng Xudong saw Ou Zhaolun smiling treacherously, and thought to himself, "You old bastard, you'll cry for a while!" Before he could speak, the French ambassador Bai Lin first said in very standard Chinese: "Mr. Zheng, thank you for agreeing to return the cultural relics of the Code of Hammurabi in private, so as to save the face of the French government, and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the French government for everything you have done! We will always remember your precious friendship." ”

Zheng Xudong was stunned by the French ambassador's standard Chinese, and said in admiration: "I didn't expect the French ambassador to China to be so young and beautiful, and he can speak such standard Chinese!" After shaking his hand and letting go, he continued: "We have an ancient saying in China that friendship lasts forever, and money is only one aspect. In order to strengthen my friendship with the French government, I donated $20 million from this income to charities in France to improve the lives of the homeless in France. Zheng Xudong thought to himself, "Anyway, you won't be able to take anything away for a while, and you don't need money for good words, just waste some saliva, say it!"

"OH MY GOD!GOD BLESS YOU!" SHE SAID AS SHE WALKED OVER AND KISSED ZHENG XUDONG GENTLY ON THE HEAD, "IN VIEW OF YOUR EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE, I ALSO AWARD YOU THE TITLE OF HONORARY CITIZEN OF FRANCE ON BEHALF OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT! ”

Zheng Xudong didn't expect this verbal check to have this benefit, and he smiled and said to President Ou Zhaolun: "President, let's go and witness this important handover ceremony together." ”

"Okay!" Ou Zhaolun always felt that Zheng Xudong's smile was a little strange today, but he didn't know what was wrong.

The four people (including Sean) took the president's special elevator down to the vault on the third floor of the basement, through the scanning of Ou Zhaolun's retina, the palm print scanning of the vault supervisor, and the personnel of the full-time person in charge of the vault, the heavy vault door opened again, and everyone came to the front of the safe where Zheng Xudong stored his belongings, Zheng Xudong took out the key given to him by Citibank from his pocket, and the full-time keeper of the vault also took out a key, and the two of them inserted their respective keyholes, and the vault keeper said: " I said one, two, three, and then we both turned the key to the right at the same time, understand?"

After Zheng Xudong nodded, the vault keeper said 1, 2, 3, and then the two of them turned the key to the right together, "Click!" A very small crisp sound of mechanical locks came, and after opening it, Zheng Xudong smiled and stood back beside Ou Zhaolun and French Ambassador Bai Lin, and said to Ambassador Bai Lin: "Ambassador Bai Lin, the completion of the work of welcoming back the Code of Hammurabi will definitely be of great help to your future promotion." ”

Ambassador Bai Lin smiled very happily, "Thank you! I hope to borrow your auspicious words!"

But when the safe rented by Zheng Xudong was opened, the scene was silent, especially Ou Zhaolun's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost, "This is impossible!"

All the people in the vault saw that Zheng Xudong's safe was empty and there was nothing, Zheng Xudong's eyes turned red all of a sudden, he turned around and grabbed the collar of Ou Zhaolun's shirt with his hand, and lifted him up with a little force, "Ou Zhaolun, I want you to give me an explanation, where did my things go? Do you remember what I told you yesterday? I didn't worry that your U.S. government would forcibly take things away regardless of my personal losses, so I didn't take the Declaration of Independence I thought you would take care of the face of the French government and not do such a crazy thing, but I didn't expect you to still want to count this loss on my head, and see that I am a bully, right?

Zheng Xudong's words were heartbreaking, Ou Zhaolun desperately wanted to explain, but his neck was grabbed by Zheng Xudong and lifted from the ground, and it was difficult to pant to say that he wanted to justify, he was now only out of breath but not in breath, and his face was already red, at this time, the vice president of Citibank in the vault saw the danger of the president, and hurriedly came up to persuade: "Mr. Zheng, I think there must be some misunderstanding at this time, you put our president down first, okay?" This vice president is a Chinese, white-collar man less than forty years old, he grabbed Zheng Xudong's right hand with both hands, but he still couldn't let the president's feet touch the ground, thinking to himself, "How strong is this kid?"

In order to do a good job, Zheng Xudong angrily used his left hand to hand the vice president of the bank, a white-collar worker, and also lifted him up, and yelled at him: "You were also there when you put things in yesterday afternoon, you watched the Code of Hammurabi and the Golden Armor of Pompeii put it in with your own eyes, didn't you?"

At this time, there were only French ambassadors Bai Lin and Sean left in the vault, as well as the vault keeper who was already scared, Sean was also very angry now, he didn't expect that the situation that the boss said in the car yesterday really happened, which has subverted his barrister's outlook on life and professionalism, he knew that there was no danger between the two for a while, so he didn't care about Zheng Xudong's anger.
