Chapter 2 You always have good intentions
That night, in a hotel private room in Shanshan County, Mr. You was full of smiles, raised his glass to Xiao Yang and said: "Manager Xiao, our project, first, has the support of national policies, and second, it has the support of the local government. ”
Xiao Yang rarely drinks, but his amount of alcohol is very good, just graduated to participate in the work meeting, Xiao Yang as a newcomer, talk about business and friendship everything need to be mixed at the dinner table wine bureau, the first two years he did not accompany the leadership customers to drink, but with the promotion of the position, now it has become someone else at the wine table to talk to him about business and friendship, he can drink or not.

At noon, so many people persuaded him, Xiao Yang didn't drink a drop, he didn't drink a drop when he was working, and now that the work is over, it doesn't matter if he drinks a little.
"Mr. You has won the award, this project does have its value and prospects, it can be said that the time and place are favorable, but I am also included, it is too flattering to me, I am an ordinary department manager in our company, but there is no such a big role, I hope we cooperate happily." After Xiao Yang finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.
"Manager Xiao is really refreshing, I just like to deal with young talents like you."
Mr. You also drank all the wine in the cup, he put down the wine glass, waved his white fat hand, and said, "Manager Xiao, don't be too modest, ordinary?" It's a bit presumptuous to say that, it's not that I'm complimenting you, among the people I know, your talent is definitely second to none, more talented than me. Department Manager? This is only temporary, I believe that in a few years, Manager Xiao will become one of the big leaders of your company, and then we will cooperate sincerely. ”
The light in the private room reflected the red light on Mr. You's face, and while pouring wine for Xiao Yang, he said: "I don't know how long Manager Xiao plans to stay in Xinjiang this time, and I can arrange where I want to go for sightseeing." ”
"I'll go back as soon as I'm done here, it's estimated that in the past two days, I'll not go sightseeing, this time the itinerary is very tight, and I will have the opportunity to bother Mr. You next time."
When Xiao Yang first heard Mr. You's name, he thought of "rape flower", this "rape flower" is really quite good, Xiao Yang has learned it during the day, and ordinary people are afraid that they can't stand the praise of "rape flower".
Xiao Yang is a person who has seen a big scene, so he will definitely not be moved by it, he laughed secretly in his heart, but his face was still impassive, showing a serious look.
"Oh, I'm in such a hurry, then I don't have time to visit us here, and I definitely can't bring some souvenirs back to my family, right?"
Pouring Xiao Yang full of wine, Mr. You put down the wine bottle and grabbed it down, and took out a small backpack, looking at his struggling appearance, the contents of the backpack should be quite heavy.
Mr. You took out a few delicate boxes from his backpack and put them on the table, he squinted at Xiao Yang with small eyes and said: "Manager Xiao, these are locally produced strange stones, and they can be regarded as famous specialties here, if you don't dislike them, bring them, and go home to play." ”
Xiao Yang knew that the other party was bribing himself, but he didn't show obvious refusal, he smiled slightly, and said: "Mr. You, this is not good, our cooperation has just begun, and I am useless." ”
"This thing is not a rare thing in us, it is all picked up on the Gobi Desert, it is not worth a few dollars, it has nothing to do with our cooperation, I just think that you have talked to Xiao Yang, and you have made you a friend, friends come to me, shouldn't you have some landlord friendship?"
As he spoke, Mr. You took out two of the stones and handed them to Xiao Yang, "Manager Xiao, look at it, this is definitely just an ordinary stone, and I used to pick it up by myself on the Gobi Desert." ”
Because of his work, Xiao Yang often studies geology and minerals, and has been exposed to a lot of jade minerals, so don't look at his age, he is still very knowledgeable about these stone playthings.
Xiao Yang took the two stones in Mr. You's hand and looked up and down a few times, indeed, as Mr. You said, these two stones are nothing special except for their strange appearance, they are just ordinary stones, not precious or very rare.
"Anyway, the strength of the other party's company is not bad, and there is no problem with project cooperation, there are rules, if you don't accept it, the other party will doubt your cooperation attitude." Xiao Yang thought in his heart.
Returning the stone in his hand to Mr. You, Xiao Yang said: "Since this is the case, then I will accept it unceremoniously, listening to Mr. You say this, it seems that there are a lot of stones on the Gobi Desert, I want to go to the Gobi Desert tomorrow to pick it up in person." ”
"Hehe, there are indeed countless such stones on the nearby Gobi Desert in the past, but with the development of the Gobi Desert in recent years, these stones that no one wants have been fried by some businessmen, and they have become a rarity, especially in the past two years, not only many local people make a living by picking up stones, but there are more and more tourists who come here to travel and pick up stones, and there are few places nearby that can really pick up good stones.
As he spoke, Mr. You put a few boxes containing stones back into his backpack, and then casually put the backpack next to Xiao Yang's seat.
"I received Mr. You's wishes, I'm just curious, I want to go to the Gobi Desert to have a look, it doesn't matter if I pick up stones or not." Xiao Yang glanced at the backpack next to his seat, and frowned without a trace.
"That's good to say, tomorrow I will arrange people and cars to take you there, I know that there are still a few places where not many people have been because they are too deep into the Gobi, and there should be good stones there, Manager Xiao, you can rest assured, I guarantee that you will be satisfied tomorrow." Mr. You took this matter in one go.
After dinner, Mr. You also wanted to invite Xiao Yang to the sauna for massage, Xiao Yang would never go to this kind of thing, so he refused directly, Mr. You saw that he really didn't want to go, so he no longer insisted, arranged for him to stay in the best hotel in the county, and made an appointment to send someone to take him to the Gobi Desert early tomorrow morning to pick up stones.
When Xiao Yang sent Mr. You back to his room, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, he poured out the things sent by Mr. You from his backpack, a total of eight boxes, Xiao Yang opened them one by one, seven of the boxes were indeed as Mr. You said, they were filled with ordinary stones, but there was a box with stones that were unusual, and that box contained two blue strange stones the size of a baby's fist, Xiao Yang only glanced at them and knew that these two stones were different.
The shape of these two stones is very special, the bottom surface is flat and smooth, there are only a few subtle irregular lines, the stone as a whole is a stepped multi-faceted pointed cone, the sharp cone is sharp and angular, placed in the palm of the hand, just like two mini peaks, these two stones are similar except for the number of edges of the cone is not the same.
The stone as a whole is translucent light blue, there is no trace of dark spots or variegated on the surface, it is very pure, a bit like a blue crystal, although there is no trace of carving, but if they are naturally formed, Xiao Yang really doesn't believe it, he feels that these two stones seem to be pulled down from a whole, this kind of stone Xiao Yang is definitely the first time to see, and he has never heard of it before.
Xiao Yang picked up one of them and put it in front of his eyes, wanting to observe the refraction of light inside the stone, he was surprised to find that there were countless bright silver points of light smaller than the tip of a needle in the stone, and these points of light were still moving slowly, as if they were flowing water, but these points of light were too small, and they could only be found by compacting the stone in front of him, and he couldn't see it if he was a little farther away from his eyes.
Xiao Yang picked up another stone, there were also those smoky and flowing points of light in it, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone, turned on the magnifying glass function of the mobile phone, and wanted to see it more clearly, but after he tried it, he found that no matter how close the magnifying glass of the mobile phone was from that angle and how close to the stone, he couldn't see the light spots inside.
Using the magnification function is not good, Xiao Yang thought of a way, he used his mobile phone to take a few high-definition photos of the stone, and then adjusted the resolution of the photo to the maximum, this method is feasible, can enlarge the light point to one-fifth of the size of the sesame, you can clearly see that these light points are not spherical, but like two buckled saucers, thick in the middle and thin in the edge, in the shape of a flying saucer.
Xiao Yang took many photos of each stone, and then he connected his mobile phone to the computer, where he took a closer look at the shape and movement of the light spots in the stone.
After being busy for more than an hour, Xiao Yang still didn't see what the light spots in the stone were, what the movement laws were, and I couldn't find any information similar to the stone on the Internet, looking at the time, it was already twelve o'clock at night, Xiao Yang had to give up.
Xiao Yang knows that the rarer a stone of this quality is, the higher its appreciation and collection value, so these two stones are definitely worth a lot.
When Xiao Yang put the backpack beside him, he felt that the other party would put something valuable in the bag, but the situation at that time did not allow him to take it out and check it.
"Forget it, bring it tomorrow, and find a chance to return it to Mr. You, these two stones are too valuable to accept." Xiao Yang said to himself, after working all these years, of course he knows what he can and can't collect, but in the face of this stone, which is likely to be worth his salary for several years, he has not the slightest temptation.
Copying all the photos on his mobile phone into the USB flash drive where he specially put the photos, Xiao Yang raised his head and pondered: "You can go back the day after tomorrow, and talk to Wu Qian when the time comes, maybe she will tell herself the reason for her insistence on breaking up, let yourself and her be quiet for the next two days." ”
In the early morning of the next day, Mr. You arranged for the person and car who took Xiao Yang to the Gobi Desert to pick up stones and arrived early, and Xiao Yang came out with the two stones, but he didn't see Mr. You.
After asking Mr. You's driver, Xiao Yang, I learned that Mr. You was in a hurry to go back to the company to report to work, so he hurriedly returned to Wushi early in the morning after arranging the person and car to take Xiao Yang to pick up stones.
Of course, Xiao Yang didn't think that Mr. You was really in a hurry to return to the company, it was more likely that Mr. You didn't want to give him a chance to return the stones, Xiao Yang saw that he would not have a chance to return the two stones to Mr. You, so he stuffed them into his backpack.
Mr. You arranged a total of three people and two cars, one guide and two drivers among the three, the local Uyghur who wrapped the headscarf was the guide, named Nusreti, his hair was gray, his face was red and black, his face was full of wrinkles, he had a handful of goatees, he was about fifty or sixty years old, but he could only speak the local dialect, and he could not speak Mandarin.
One of the two drivers is a young man in his twenties, also a Uyghur, very powerful, he is both a driver and a translator, and there is no obstacle to communicating with Xiao Yang and the guide, and the other is Mr. You's driver, surnamed Fang, is a middle-aged man in his thirties, like Mr. You, white and fat, he and Xiao Yang don't know much about the local language.
Xiao Yang asked them why they had arranged two cars, and the young driver explained that the climate in the Gobi Desert was too bad, so the cars were prone to breakdowns, and the two usually acted together just in case.
Xiao Yang went to the Gobi Desert not to pick up any stones at all, he just wanted to stay away from the city and troubles, let himself be quiet, and the things of Wu Qian made him very troubled, there were too many places to figure out, so he thought of going to the Gobi Desert to go around, hoping that he could think of something when he calmed down, so he discussed with the driver surnamed Fang if he could drive by himself, and let the driver surnamed Fang take a car with the young driver and the guide.
At first, the driver surnamed Fang and the young driver did not agree, the road conditions in the Gobi Desert were very poor, once Xiao Yang lost his car, it was very dangerous, they had to think about Xiao Yang's safety, but Xiao Yang insisted again and again, and the two reluctantly agreed, but they repeatedly told Xiao Yang to follow the guide car.
After the two cars left the county seat for more than 20 kilometers, the guide car drove off the road and ran on the roadless Gobi Desert, while Xiao Yang drove closely behind.
When you first leave the road, you can still see the dense oil derricks and power line towers in the distance, and after an hour of driving, you can't see anything, in this kind of place where there are no roads and landmarks, it is indeed easy to get lost when driving alone.
