Chapter 524: A Rare Calm
Although Zhou Jun's face changed greatly, he had nothing to hide in the elevator, so he could only lower his head and greet the other party softly: "Grandpa!"
That's right, it was none other than the current helmsman of the Zhou family, Zhou Dexiang, chairman of the provincial city Haoxing Company. Zhou Dexiang is almost 60 years old this year, and he seized the opportunity of reform and opening up to earn the first pot of gold for himself. Then the business became bigger and bigger, and it made a huge name in the provincial capital. Although Haoxing Company and Su Moran cannot be compared, it is also a behemoth in the province.
Unlike Su Moran, who studied abroad and ran the company with modern concepts, Zhou Dexiang is completely old-fashioned. Therefore, Haoxing Company is also a family business, and Zhou Dexiang is not only the chairman of the company, but also the helmsman of the Zhou family.
Don't look at Zhou Jun outside, relying on the power of his family to do evil, but when he goes home, he pretends to be honest. Because the old-fashioned Zhou Dexiang doesn't like his style, if he is discovered, he will definitely attract a scolding.
What's more, Zhou Dexiang's third generation is not just Zhou Jun. If he really went too far, he would definitely lose points in Zhou Dexiang's heart. If Zhou Dexiang was asked to shift the focus of training to other cousins, Zhou Jun would really cry and faint in the toilet.
So every time Zhou Jun saw Zhou Dexiang, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere. Unexpectedly, he was bumped into by his grandfather in such an embarrassing situation this time, Zhou Jun was also uneasy in his heart, and naturally hated Jiang Ping even more.
Seeing his grandson's embarrassed appearance, Zhou Dexiang couldn't help frowning, and said to him coldly: "What's going on? I'm going to meet with the representatives of the Piero family in a few days, how can you meet people like this? Do you want to deliberately lose the face of our Zhou family?"
"No, grandpa!" Zhou Jun hurriedly explained: "I just encountered some accidents outside......
Zhou Dexiang said with a straight face: "Tell me, I want to know what the accident was." Can make your face look like this!"
"I just wanted to go out and see what the environment is like around the land that our company has won the bid. Zhou Jun has long been accustomed to deceiving Zhou Dexiang, and the lie is to open his mouth: "But I saw a group of thugs surrounding a girl on the way, so I ......"
Next, Zhou Jun portrayed himself as a hero who acted bravely and bravely, in order to protect the girl and the gangsters, so he was beaten like this. In fact, he almost just told him what happened in the antique street before. It's just a little revised. It's just that he has changed his role a little, from that annoying gangster to a good citizen.
After listening to Zhou Jun's words, Zhou Dexiang's tense face eased a lot, and after glancing at him, he nodded slowly: "Well, if you can do this, it can be regarded as a bit bloody." However, in the future, you must remember that you are now the key cultivation object of the Zhou family, and you should think more about your family and yourself in case of trouble, and don't be so impulsive!"
Listening to Zhou Dexiang's tone, he knew that he had passed this hurdle. Zhou Jun, who was secretly relieved, hurriedly agreed: "I know grandpa, I won't be so impulsive in the future." โ
"Well, let's go back and rest. Zhou Dexiang waved his hand and said, "Take care of your injuries in the past two days, don't lose my face when you meet the Piero family." This time the heir of their family will also come, and you should take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with each other, which will be very good for the future of the family. โ
"I understand, Grandpa. Zhou Jun obediently agreed, and then let Zhou Dexiang go into the elevator in a proper manner. He himself waited for the elevator door to close slowly, looking like a good baby.
The elevator doors had just closed, though. The submissive look on Zhou Jun's face was immediately swept away, replaced with a hideous expression, and whispered through gritted teeth: "Jiang Ping, let you go for the time being this time, and when Lao Tzu finishes the business first, I will rectify you bastard!"
Speaking of which, Zhou Jun still knows the priorities. The most important thing for him is to coax the old man first. lest he treat other cousins as key training targets.
As for dealing with Jiang Ping, you can talk about it later. Anyway, I already know that he is the boss of Yixiaozhai, and the so-called monk can't run away from the temple, so he doesn't have to worry about running away.
Zhou Jun had a very unhappy night that night, and he didn't have the heart to go out and fool around with a wound on his face. Only stay in the hotel room. However, what made Zhou Jun feel some comfort was that his fox friends and dog friends still knew some of the heavens and the earth, and they did not confess Zhou Dashao in the Public Security Bureau, but carried everything by themselves. It also meant that Zhou Jun was safeโat least that's what he thought.
But even so, this is also a few big losses that Zhou Jun has suffered since he became sensible. This made him hate Jiang Ping even more, even when he smeared safflower oil on his face, he didn't forget to grit his teeth and mutter: "Jiang Ping, you wait for Lao Tzu!"
At the same time, Jiang Ping, who was entangled with Zhao Wanqing, sneeze involuntarily, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Who is scolding me behind my back again?"
However, looking at the charming Zhao Wanqing, Jiang Ping didn't have the heart to think about anything else, and soon devoted himself wholeheartedly to her tenderness......
Jiang Ping lived a peaceful life for the next few days. Hong Jinlong's threat was completely lifted, and Lan Ke'er also returned to work at Yan Zhai. As for Ye Mei was busy decorating the bar, Zhao Wanqing began to prepare for studying abroad, starting to have a passport and visa, and at the same time thinking about where it would be better to study.
Jiang Ping usually flirts with Lan Ke'er, a pretty slave girl, in Yiyan Zhai, and occasionally goes to her residence to enjoy a moment of warmth. In the evening, I went back to the courtyard of Huanhua Lane, and lived a life of double accommodation and double flight with Zhang Chenlin, and the days were also very pleasant.
Of course, Jiang Ping did not do nothing. During the day, in addition to showing the guests photos, he stayed in the ashram whenever he was free and carefully crafted the Easter egg.
Now that the ingredients for making Easter eggs are complete, Jiang Ping can finally concentrate on creating this easter egg. He said that there was an extra advantage at the moment, and that was the real Easter egg found in the secret room of the bar. Jiang Ping can modify some details on his fake Easter egg according to this genuine product, so that this fake Easter egg looks more like the real thing.
In fact, since returning to China, Jiang Ping will make Easter eggs whenever he is free, and there has been a lot of progress so far. Some small accessories made of gold and silver have all been carefully installed on the body of the easter egg embryo by Jiang Ping, and they already look a little presentable.
At present, the process carried out by Jiang Ping is to carefully set the various colored gemstones used for decoration into the appropriate position on the Easter egg, so that the whole egg looks more luxurious and radiant.
In order for this egg to look genuine, all of these gems are genuine. In order to buy the various colored gemstones he needed, Jiang Ping spent more than 300,000 US dollars. Thanks to the fact that he has the income from the sale of jadeite wool as a guarantee, otherwise he would feel stretched thin to buy all the materials.
Of course, it is not easy to set all these gems in place, not only not to loosen and fall, but also to be beautiful and harmonious overall, and to add luster to the Easter eggs.
Fortunately, Jiang Ping has rich experience in forging artworks, and he is also impeccable in inlay technology, so he can complete such a demanding work.
After a busy few days, the setting of the gemstone is almost complete. Jiang Ping looked at the Easter eggs that had begun to take shape, and compared them with the real ones he got from the secret room, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
Judging from the appearance, the difference between the two Easter eggs is very small. Although the one that Jiang Ping imitated was not as rich in color as the real one because it was still painted, he believed that as long as he waited for himself to put on the paint, the difference between the two easter eggs would be very small. The only difference is that the easter egg imitated by Jiang Ping looks relatively new, unlike the real thing, which has a sense of historical vicissitudes.
Of course, this is not a problem for Jiang Ping. When the imitation eggs are completely finished, he will start working on the old work. As long as the old steps are completed, this freshly made Easter egg will look like something hundreds of years ago, and there will be no flaws in it.
"Yes, yes, yes. Jiang Ping was very satisfied with his craftsmanship, nodded lightly and said: "This will definitely discredit Fasco Company, and buddy can also make a good profit!"
Jiang Ping picked up the real Easter eggs as he spoke, and wanted to carefully study the coloring of the eggs, so that the eggs he imitated would be more like the real ones. However, when he took a closer look at this easter egg, he unexpectedly found that there was a gem on the side that seemed to be set not firmly enough, and it actually shook slightly.
This made Jiang Ping a little surprised, after all, this kind of high-quality Easter eggs have always been very exquisite, and the previous owners will definitely take care of them, so it stands to reason that this situation will not occur.
Jiang Ping observed the gem while muttering to himself: "It's strange, shouldn't it......"
At this time, Jiang Ping inadvertently turned the gem slightly, only to hear a soft "click", and the Easter egg in his hand actually cracked.
At first, Jiang Ping was really taken aback, and thought that the easter egg had been damaged by himself. However, he soon discovered that the egg was originally designed like this, and the slightly shaking gem was the mechanism to open the egg.
"Tsk...... "Jiang Ping looked at the Easter egg opened in his hand, and couldn't help but whisper: "No wonder it is said that this Easter egg has been built for more than two years, and I am still wondering why it takes so long, it turns out that the reason is here, amazing, amazing!"
Looking at this exquisitely designed Easter egg, Jiang Ping's face also showed admiration, and then quickly turned into joy, and couldn't help but whisper: "This is also very good, and then I don't need to make much effort to prove which Easter egg is the real thing!" (To be continued......)
