"Well, I know it, you can watch and deal with it first......"

hurriedly explained two sentences, hung up the phone, Xiao Nan said: "As you guessed, the blue and white porcelain in the Korean suitcase came from the wrong way, and I couldn't get half a certificate at all, according to my inference, it was probably bought from the black market, and I was going to smuggle it back to China, but fortunately, the police blocked it in time, so I didn't let him run away. ”

Chen Mingyuan bowed slightly, due to economic and geographical factors in Lingnan Province, smuggling and black market transactions have always been rampant, among which tomb robbery and ancient cultural relics are even more rampant, many dealers will mostly sell antiques of unknown origin to the local and wealthy businessmen from all over the world, or directly transport them to Hong Kong, Nanyang and other places for sale, and sometimes many ancient cultural relics from abroad are quietly transported ashore, and then distributed by smuggling groups to various places.

In view of this, there are many examples of South Koreans buying illegal cultural relics, but he was not very lucky, but he was caught by Chen Mingyuan, and if this is to be investigated, nine times out of ten he will be deported back to China.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter, and I promise to pick up this pair of foreign devils and foreign slaves out of temper, and give you two a good outlet for their bad anger." When he said these words, Xiao Nan smiled comfortably, and it fell into his hands, he naturally had a way to concoct these two people, and he had to teach these two people a hard lesson, otherwise he would have no face in the Lingnan elite circle.

Hearing this, Chen Mingyuan knew that the two of them were bound to suffer, but he just laughed and said nothing, if this thing is to blame, he can only blame his translator for fanning the flames, not only making his master unable to get off the stage, but also putting their master and servant into it, as the saying goes, not afraid of wolf-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates, this sentence is not wrong at all!

Xiao Nan gave a thumbs up again and quipped: "Your vision is really vicious, you can see at a few glances that the Korean stick is a thief, and it can be regarded as recovering a loss of cultural relics for our country, and I will ask the Public Security Bureau to award you a pennant when I go back." ”

"I can't afford the pennant, Xiao Gongzi can invite me to a full meal, I will be very content." Chen Mingyuan half-jokingly said: "You know, I haven't even eaten a decent meal in the past two days, and now the oil and water in my stomach are almost squeezed out." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Compared with Mu Tianyu, Xiao Nan is more exquisite, although he is also arrogant, but it will not make people feel uncomfortable, "I haven't seen Chen Shao for two years, this trip is rare to be caught by me, I can't say anything to let you go back without being stained, tonight Lao Zhang and I will stay in Jiaozhou for one more night, and everyone will have fun." ”

A few people didn't mean to go to the restaurant, so they directly found a quiet private room in the hotel café and ordered some cooked hot dishes.

"Chen Shao, you came to Jiaozhou this time to attract investment, right?" Xiao Nan took a sip of sake, obviously didn't know the news that Ye Qingxue was seriously ill, and said to himself: "If that's the case, then I have to pour cold water on you in advance, this trip to Jiaozhou, Lao Zhang and I are also stopping by to see if there are any good projects, but now that this infectious disease has been stirred up, not only the China Merchants Association has been disbanded in advance, many foreign businessmen have retreated, and several businesses on my side who have almost negotiated before have successively said in the past two days that they will observe the next situation and then consider." ”

Zhang Zili also looked grim, and echoed: "This hotel was originally full of people a few days ago, and almost everywhere you went, you could see people negotiating, but now they have all withdrawn as if fleeing, and Xiao Gongzi and I originally decided to go back tonight." ”

Chen Mingyuan nodded, these follow-up effects, he thought of it early on, although the government is trying to control the panic of public opinion, but with the rapid spread of SARS, it will inevitably affect economic development!

This is a general trend, and it is not up to him alone to turn the tide.

"No matter how critical the situation is, I can only do my best to obey the fate of heaven." Chen Mingyuan smiled indifferently and said: "Moreover, as a government official, if you can't play an exemplary role in facing difficulties, it will only make the local masses and cadres even more panicked, otherwise when the epidemic does not break the revolutionary fortress, it will have to collapse and collapse from the inside." ”

"That's right! I appreciate Chen Shao's style of not changing his face when Mount Tai collapses in front of him! Xiao Nan raised his glass and said with a smile: "In addition, to say a word of schadenfreude, although Lingnan has suffered, but your Dongjiang Province is still quite peaceful, take advantage of this opportunity, maybe you can attract more funds to the past, if there are any good projects at that time, remember to inform the brothers." ”

Of course, Chen Mingyuan understood what this meant, touched a glass with him, and said with a smile: "If I can attract Xiao Gongzi to invest in the past, I can't ask for it." ”

After talking and laughing for a while, taking advantage of the gap between Xiao Nan getting up and going to the bathroom, Chen Mingyuan asked, "Everything is going well in Lingnan, right?" ”

"It's not bad, there are many ways to get rich, and you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat." Zhang Zili smiled slightly: "What about you, listen to my mother, you went to a county not long ago, are you still used to it?" ”

"It's not bad, there are a lot of opportunities to do things, and you don't have to worry about not getting political achievements."

Chen Mingyuan and he looked at each other and smiled, even though the two of them were once on the same page, but after two years of experience and hard work outside, they were already calm with each other, thought about it, and said: "However, if you have time, you should go home and have a look, grandpa...... He's actually very worried about you. ”

Zhang Zili's face was complicated, obviously still in the first place when he was kicked out of the house by the old man, but when he met Chen Mingyuan's sincere look, he hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "I know the truth, during the Chinese New Year, I will try to go back." ”

Chen Mingyuan laughed, and was about to speak, when Xiao Nan's voice suddenly came from outside the hidden door, "Second brother!" What a coincidence, you're here too. ”

"Xiao Nan! I haven't seen you for a long time, and people are getting more and more dignified, and I almost can't recognize you. Another clear and pleasant baritone sounded in the hallway, vaguely familiar.

"No matter how chic you are, second brother, your life is not as happy, I heard not long ago, you, the deputy mayor, have become regular, and one foot is about to enter normal." Xiao Nan said in a slightly reproachful tone: "I was planning to talk to you recently, but you came to Lingnan quietly, and you didn't say hello to me in advance, it's too interesting!" ”

"If it happens suddenly, you have to bear more." The man's speech was very humble and elegant, just listening to the voice, people couldn't help but have a good feeling: "Originally, the leading comrade of our city's investment promotion group suddenly fell ill, and the hospital said that it was possible to be infected with the latest infectious disease and needed to be hospitalized for observation. ”

"Is there anything I need help with?"

"There is nothing to do for the time being, but while those merchants have not all evacuated, I have to make a few more trips to pull some projects as much as possible to minimize the setbacks of this investment."

"The second brother really has the demeanor of a general, admire!" Xiao Nan praised: "Speaking of which, your style of doing things coincides with this friend in me." With that, Xiao Nan took the opportunity to push open the door and introduced: "Just right, second brother, let me introduce you, these two are my friends, the one on the left is my business partner, Zhang Zili, and the other is his cousin, Chen Mingyuan, a cadre from Dongjiang Province......"

When Zhang Zili got up to meet him, Chen Mingyuan sighed secretly, in fact, with the content of the conversation between the two sides, as well as the person's laughing voice, he vaguely guessed the identity of the person, and sure enough, when he raised his head to look over, he saw a slender figure standing by the door.

Kou Beiyan!

This man, who has always been personable, still has a calm smile on his face, as if everything is in his hands, although when he first saw Chen Mingyuan, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down, and then there was an almost unchanged elegant smile on his face.

He is still as handsome as ever, with heroic eyebrows, but his momentum is more stable and composed.

After shaking hands with Zhang Zili and greeting him, Kou Beiyan walked in with a smile on his face, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, revealing his white teeth: "Hello, I don't want to meet you here." ”

"Where you don't meet in life, Mayor Kou is fine." Chen Mingyuan smiled, and he also looked like a person who had nothing to do.

Xiao Nan couldn't help but be surprised: "You know each other?" ”

"I met before, at the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Mu family." Kou Beiyan had a calm and kind smile on his face, which really made it difficult for people to feel evil, "But it has only been less than half a year, but Brother Chen is not what it used to be, thinking back to the first time I saw the scene in Mujiayuan, I and you, as well as Tian Yu and Mr. Ye...... Alas, Mr. Ye's matter, I just heard about it, and I regret it. ”

At the mention of Ye Qingxue, Kou Beiyan suddenly sighed.

Xiao Nan and Zhang Zili's faces suddenly changed, and they asked, "What happened to Mr. Ye?" ”

"Don't you know the truth?" Kou Beiyan glanced at Chen Mingyuan unintentionally, and said slowly: "When I went to visit my colleague in the hospital in the afternoon, I happened to hear that Mr. Ye also had this infectious disease and was hospitalized for treatment. ”

"This happened!" Xiao Nan and Ye Qingxue also have some friendship, and their faces are not very good-looking.

"We can only wait for the news, I hope that Jiren has his own natural appearance." Kou Beiyan shook his head regretfully, looked at his watch again, and said, "It's not too early, I have also made an appointment with a few investors to negotiate, and I will contact you again when I am free." ”

"Done! You go get busy first, if there's any trouble, just squeak! Xiao Nan looked very righteous and bold.

Kou Beiyan thanked him, and before going out, he looked back and said, as if full of deep meaning: "Brother Chen, I hope that in the near future, we can sit down and have a good drink and chat." ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled and said: "There will be a chance, as long as Mayor Kou doesn't think I'm boring." ”

Kou Beiyan snorted and walked away.

Zhang Zili's brows furrowed slightly, and while Xiao Nan was sending people out, he leaned over and whispered: "Mingyuan, you'd better be wary of this person, I always feel ...... He doesn't seem to have good intentions toward you. ”

Chen Mingyuan nodded silently.
