Chapter 38: Do what you like
He Chengming was on the phone, and when he saw Zhao Changfeng change into casual clothes, he hung up the phone and said to him: "Brother Changfeng, let's act alone in a while, Xiao Bao and the driver will ......."
Zhao Changfeng understood, and handed over the changed clothes to Bao Xiaofei, asking him and Lao Zhang to find a nearby place to wait for him. Bao Xiaofei took the handbag, carefully put it into the carriage, handed the handbag in his hand to Zhao Changfeng, and said softly to Zhao Changfeng: "Boss, there are 50,000 yuan in cash here......"
Zhao Changfeng didn't say much, took the heavy handbag and put it under his armpit, turned around and returned to He Chengming's side. He Chengming pointed to Zhao Changfeng's Audi A6 that was gradually moving away, and said: "I also sent the driver back, the place we went to today is not suitable for both of our cars, it is too eye-catching." I called and asked for a regular car to come over. ”
Zhao Changfeng said with a smile: "Big brother, this is your territory, you can arrange it how you say, anyway, I don't want anything, just listen to the eldest brother." ”
"Brother Changfeng, you are shirking your responsibility!" He Chengming said with a smile: "It's hard to put a burden on me." ”
Zhao Changfeng said: "Big brother, your shoulders are strong, I don't have anything to do if I press a little more!" ”
"Haha, then borrow my brother's auspicious words!" He Chengming's face was happy. He is now the executive deputy director of the Public Security Department, if there is no accident, he will basically take over the position of the director, and as the director of the Public Security Department, then it is reasonable for the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. However, in the current officialdom, who dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents? The competition in officialdom is so cruel that there will even be when the appointment documents are printed, and when they are about to be issued, they suddenly kill Cheng Cheng and take away the position. This can fly away even a duck with a beak, not to mention that he is only theoretically the first choice to take over as the director of the Public Security Department. Therefore, He Chengming must always pay attention to the situation of various competitors and do his best to ensure his dominant position. Behind Zhao Changfeng stood the big boss Du Hongjun, if Zhao Changfeng could say a few good words for him in front of the big boss, then his dominant position would undoubtedly be more consolidated. The conversation between him and Zhao Changfeng just now was actually playing this dumb riddle, the executive deputy director of the Public Security Department, if you put a little more weight, what would it be? If Zhao Changfeng helps out a little bit here, how much work will it save him?
While chatting, a silver-gray Jetta drove over and stopped beside the two, and a young man in his early thirties with a quiet appearance and wearing gold wire glasses got out of the car, and gave He Chengming a neat police salute, and said: "He Hall, Pang Weijun was ordered to report to you." Then he handed a bunch of keys to He Chengming.
"Let's go back." He Chengming took the key with a serious face and waved his hand at the young man.
"Yes!" The young man saluted again and turned to leave.
"Chief of the Major Case Section of the Criminal Police Corps, my baby pimple. Don't look at the appearance and temperament, but like your original driver Xiaofang, he was born in special forces. He Chengming looked at the young man's back and introduced a sentence to Zhao Changfeng, then waved the key in his hand and said to Zhao Changfeng: "Let's go, I'll be your chauffeur today." ”
"Oh, if you can let the director of the Public Security Department drive me, I can be regarded as enjoying the provincial and ministerial treatment today!" Zhao Changfeng joked.
"Brother Changfeng is also a prince sooner or later, a feudal official, today I just served you in advance." He Chengming said with a smile. Although this is a bit numb, it is not an exaggeration. Zhao Changfeng is not yet 30 years old, and has already climbed to the position of executive vice mayor. At this rate, it is not a matter of time before the provincial and ministerial level is reached? Age is a treasure, a diploma is indispensable, and the relationship is the most important, and the three major conditions for promotion in the officialdom are all accounted for by Zhao Changfeng. Although He Chengming's status is higher than Zhao Changfeng's now, with Zhao Changfeng's excellent background and conditions, in another ten or eight years, his status will definitely be above him He Chengming.
Since He Chengming acted as a driver, of course Zhao Changfeng couldn't sit in the back row, he opened the door and sat in the co-pilot's seat, one is a matter of etiquette, and the other is also convenient to talk to He Chengming.
He Chengming did not drive in the direction of the traffic department, but turned the head of the car and drove west quickly and steadily. While driving, he said with a smile: "Brother Changfeng, do you have a lot of questions in your stomach?" Isn't it strange that I'm changing cars and changing lines again, what exactly are I going to take it for? ”
Zhao Changfeng put his hands behind his head, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely: "I don't care!" I don't believe that you can sell me, big brother. ”
"Hehe, I'm just going to sell you to Liangshan Road." He Chengming said twice, and then said, "We are going to Xiguan Antique City." Liang Shanlu is studying history, and his professional kung fu has not been pulled down over the years, and he usually likes to tinker with these bottles and cans, but he never talks about these things in front of outsiders, and few people know about them. I've been friends with him for many years, so I know his secret. ”
While speaking, He Chengming skillfully played the steering wheel and turned towards the viaduct.
"I heard in the morning that a new batch of sour branch wood furniture arrived in the Xiguan Antique Market today, and Lao Liang likes to buy cheap, so he will definitely rush over." He Chengming said: "We are going over now, just in time to meet him." ”
Zhao Changfeng only understood at this time why he wanted to change into civilian clothes, he had to change his car, and when he went to a place like the antique market, they wanted to hide their identities, so that people could not see the official flavor from them.
Jetta is agile in the traffic, and it can be seen that He Chengming's driving skills are absolutely first-class. While glancing in the rearview mirror, he explained to Zhao Changfeng: "Lao Liang will be in a very good mood when he finds good things, and choosing to talk to him about things at this time is equivalent to half the success of the matter." Today I am specifically pressing this point to take you to him. By the way, if you know the knowledge of antiques, then you will have an appetite for Lao Liang, he is full of bezoar Ma Bao usually holds back in his heart and can't say it to people, it is rare to meet a confidant, and he will definitely vomit quickly. ”
Zhao Changfeng sighed slightly in his heart, when it comes to knowledge of antiques, who can compare to Lin Xinping? It's a pity that he failed Xinping...... When he arrived at the Xiguan antique market, He Chengming parked the car and led Zhao Changfeng inside. As soon as they took two steps in, a sneaky thin man blocked their way, he took out a piece of old newspaper wrapped in his armpit, held it up in front of the two, and said in a low voice: "I have a good thing, do you want to take a look at it?" ”
"What's that?" He Chengming stopped his steps, and Zhao Changfeng watched with interest from the side.
The thin man looked around alertly, and then said in a mysterious tone: "Bronze mirror, the ancient tomb over there in Jinxi Province was dug up, and it only came to our eastern Guangdong yesterday." ”
As he spoke, he opened the newspaper, and inside was a rusty bronze mirror, which looked very old, and there was some mud on it, but it looked like it had been dug out of an ancient tomb.
He Chengming took it in his hand and looked at it twice, then put it back in the thin man's hand and asked, "How much?" ”
The thin man showed a flattering smile on his face and said, "This big boss is a person who understands at a glance, you make a price, let's bump into it." ”
He Chengming laughed, pointed to the bronze mirror and said, "Wholesale from the other side of the river road, right?" When I came over last week, I saw you selling this kind of bronze mirror, you take a closer look at me, is your face familiar? ”
The thin man sneered, wrapped the bronze mirror in newspaper, muttered, and then ran to the next target.
Zhao Changfeng asked He Chengming: "Big brother, do you come often?" ”
He Chengming waved his hand and said, "It's only half a year." Although I haven't seen this kid, this is the tone of the people who sell fakes in the antique city. He pointed to the antique shops on both sides and said, "If there are really good things, will it be our turn?" It has long been snatched away by these antique owners. ”
While talking and laughing, he walked forward, and before he knew it, he walked to the center of the antique city, He Chengming pointed to the antique shop with the sign of Rong Xiangzhai on the opposite side and said, "Lao Liang should be here." As he spoke, he pulled Zhao Changfeng and was about to go over, but he saw a middle-aged man coming out of Rong Xiangzhai, with a brushed head, with smoke-colored big sunglasses, a Mengtejiao silk jacquard T-shirt on the upper body, a pair of light white cotton slacks on the lower body, and a pair of old man's scalp shoes on his feet.
"Lao Liang, what a coincidence!" He Chengming pulled Zhao Changfeng and said hello to this big brother in the smoke society.
"Lao He, that gust of wind blew you here?" Liangshan Road was a little surprised, "How can there be such Yaxing today?" ”
"Lao Liang, I heard that there is a batch of sour branch wood furniture here today, so I am very interested in seeing if I can exchange one or two pieces." He Chengming was not busy introducing Zhao Changfeng, but just said along Liangshan Road first.
"Alas, this antique market is getting worse and worse, it's really the world, and the people's hearts are not ancient!" Liang Shanlu shook his head and said: "What sour branch wood furniture, ninety percent is fake, and the remaining one percent is genuine, but the quality is very poor, and there is no collection value." ”
Speaking of this, Liang Shanlu seemed to remember something, looked at He Chengming and said, "By the way, I heard that you changed a set of yew root carved coffee tables a while ago." I just got a baby and I am not satisfied, why did I start the idea of sour branch wood furniture again? ”
"Aren't I also addicted to that set of root carved coffee tables?" He Chengming said with a smile, seeing Liang Shanlu's gaze fall on Zhao Changfeng beside him, he introduced: "Old Liang, let me introduce you to you." This is my little brother, I mentioned to you before, Zhao Changfeng from Haizhou City. ”
