After this matter, Mr. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and kept holding Shi Lei's hand to thank him.

And Shi Lei also completed the work of collecting and spending 10 million at the same time, and he was naturally very happy.

In this quota cycle, all he has left is more than two million quotas, and there are ten days left, although it will not be too easy, but it will not be too difficult.

Originally, he wanted to have a meal with Mr. Zheng and Director Zhang, but Director Zhang said that his unit still had something to do and needed to go back to Xicheng, and Mr. Zheng also said that he needed to rush to the magic capital immediately and fly from the magic capital to his son.

Shi Lei simply sent them to the high-speed rail station.

Director Zhang's car arrived first, Shi Lei and Mr. Zheng sent him to the car, Shi Lei told Director Zhang that next time he went to Xicheng, he would have a meal together.

Soon after, Mr. Zheng's car also arrived.

When sending Mr. Zheng to the car, Mr. Zheng suddenly turned around, looked around cautiously, and saw that everyone was in a hurry to get into the car, he grabbed Shi Lei's arm and dragged him aside.

Shi Lei was very strange, so he asked, "Mr. Zheng, do you have anything else?"

Mr. Zheng looked at Shi Lei, hesitated for a long time, and still opened his mouth.

He said, "Mr. Shi, I have a little secret to tell you. ”

Shi Lei scratched his head and said: "Sir, if you have anything, just say it directly, I bought your crown, although you have to do it as a last resort, but I can always take advantage of it, if there is anything that needs my help, I happen to be able to help, I will definitely do my best." ”

Mr. Zheng nodded, lowered his voice, and said solemnly: "Mr. Shi, this secret has been buried in my heart for more than sixty years. ”

Shi Lei looked at Mr. Zheng and said, "You are only in your sixties this year, right?"

Mr. Zheng nodded, and said: "Actually, this secret was passed down by my ancestors, but the old house in Xicheng was once state-owned after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It took a lot of hard work for my grandfather and father to get the old house back. ”

"The secret you said has something to do with the old mansion?"

Mr. Zheng nodded again, his voice was lowered, and he said: "My grandfather told us that there are a number of valuable calligraphy and paintings buried somewhere underground in our old house, and if we can dig them out and sell them in the peaceful and prosperous times, at least three or four generations of our family can eat and drink without worry." According to what my grandfather said, I estimate that these things are worth more than a billion now, at least at least, and he is measured according to the price level of the year after all. ”

Shi Lei was slightly startled and said, "Then you still sell that house to me?"

Mr. Zheng sighed and said, "I didn't tell my children about this matter, and I didn't dare to say it. First, according to my grandfather, those calligraphy and paintings are heirlooms, and our family was not short of money in the early years, if it wasn't for the problems in the dog business, even if I found those things, it would be impossible for them to be sold to others. Second, I haven't been able to find these things for so many years. But when I went to France this time, I am afraid that I will die in a foreign land, and it is impossible to come back. And the house has also been sold to you, so what is hidden underground will naturally belong to you. I'm going to keep this in my heart and never tell my children about it again. ”

Shi Lei didn't know what Mr. Zheng was talking about, but seeing him so solemn, he always felt that he had won the calligraphy and paintings that were treasured by his ancestors, which was a bit unreasonable.

So he said: "Mr. Zheng, although I don't know how much those things are worth, no matter how much they are worth, you ...... How can I take it for myself?"

Old Mr. Zheng sighed again, his eyes were slightly cloudy, and he said, "If I could find those things, I would have taken them out a long time ago." When our family took back this old house, the state told us very clearly that this house is a witness to history, and many similar protected courtyards in the vicinity will never allow us to build large-scale construction. Since then, there is only one way to find the possibility of these things, and that is to find the entrance to the secret passage left by my ancestors, so that it is possible to go underground and get those things. Over the years, I haven't given up, but I have never been able to find the entrance to the tunnel. Besides, even if I found those things, I wouldn't dare sell them. If, as my grandfather said, there are calligraphy and paintings of ancient masters, it is not only my personal wealth, but also the wealth of the country. So, I would like to ask Mr. Shi, if you have the opportunity to find that batch of calligraphy and paintings, I personally hope that you can donate them to the national collection. It's just that this seems a little unfair to you, after all, it is a batch of calligraphy and paintings of very high value. I don't force it, everything depends on Mr. Shi's heart. ”

Shi Lei was completely confused about this, this old man was chattering, and suddenly a batch of calligraphy and painting collections worth at least one billion yuan popped up, which is a bit fantastical.

Scratching his head, Shi Lei said: "Old man, you really made me feel grass growing in my heart." If you don't tell me, I'll just buy a house for my parents to live in, and help the country preserve the ancient buildings. But if you say that, I won't have to fight with that house for the rest of my life? ”

Mr. Zheng smiled, he knew that Shi Lei was joking, he said: "Mr. Shi is joking, how can you have a net worth of more than 10 billion, how can you be entangled for these external things." The reason why I tell you is also because I believe in Mr. Shi's character. All in all, it's such a batch of things, and I don't know the specific situation. I just don't want to let such a group of artworks that could have been released disappear into the ground as I move away from my homeland, and I want to pass on this secret. Mr. Shi is a person with a great opportunity, and he may have a chance to get it. Even if he can't get it, at least Mr. Shi can pass on this secret. Or, a few years later, the state decided to expropriate the land and decided not to protect the ancient buildings, and Mr. Shi had the opportunity to dig three feet into the ground to find them. My grandfather said very solemnly, I believe that these are national treasures, but I dare not spread the news easily, after all, whether there is or not, it is only my grandfather's family's words. If not, it will be all trouble. ”

Shi Lei nodded, he understood what Mr. Zheng meant, and also understood his concerns.

"Since Mr. Zheng said so, I won't say anything more. First, I don't know if there are any hidden things in the basement of this house, second, I don't know how valuable the collection is, and third, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to see these calligraphy and paintings again in my life. However, the assurance I can give you is that if there is a real chance of finding them, and those are all masterpieces that have been lost to the world, I personally will not dare to steal them. I will donate it to the state in some way, but I will never reveal that the calligraphy and paintings come from the ground of the house. In addition, if this batch of calligraphy and paintings can bring some of the benefits, whether you know it or not, and whether you are still alive or not, I will definitely give back to your family. That's all I can promise. ”

Mr. Zheng looked a little excited, he grabbed Shi Lei's hand and shook it up and down tremblingly.

He said: "Mr. Shi, this batch of calligraphy and paintings is part of the old mansion and is also your property, and you decide what to do with it." It's best not to let my children know about this, so as not to cause any unpleasant trouble. ”
