Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Drunkard's Intention Is Not to Drink

Previous Chapter

"Thank you for today." Finally, in the elevator hall, I saw the colleague who had just spoken for me, and quickly ran over to him and bowed to him earnestly.

He shook his head, looking a little embarrassed, and finally said as if he had made up his mind: "Actually, I am a little ashamed that I can speak for you without scruples just because I have resigned, and I don't deserve your gratitude to me so much." If I'm still working at the company, I don't know if I'll ever follow my heart and tell the truth. ”

"It's okay." I waved my hand, "What you said today has helped me a lot. Otherwise, I don't know how long I'll have to fight with him, it's a shame. ”

The boy still smiled a little shyly, and then looked at me with some concern: "Is that really okay?" ”

"What?" I didn't understand what he meant.

The boy scratched the back of his head: "I mean, when you were still at work, you were like this, so upright." Will it not be good for your future? ”

I understood what he meant, and laughed silly, "yes." It's a little too impulsive to think about it now. But. I put away my smile, "It's going to be very happy to say what you're not happy about!" I feel that the dignity of my family and friends is more important than a promotion and a raise. I don't like people making fun of my family. ”

"That's right. As long as you don't regret it. Also, your brave appearance just now is not ashamed at all, you are very handsome. He gave me a thumbs up and stepped out of the elevator as usual.

"There shouldn't be any reason to refuse to treat the wound now, right?" Li Zhilin's voice sounded in my ears at dusk.

"Yes." I nodded.

"What excuse do you want to use?"

"It hurts." Looking at him with teary eyes.

At Li Zhilin's repeated insistence, we ended up going to a nearby community hospital for a simple bandage, and in fact, when the doctor saw my innocuous abrasions, the white of my eyes had already rolled to the sky. "You're not hurt at all. Go back to the nurse's station and ask for iodine, so you don't have to hang up a surgery. The doctor read the conclusion.

"He asked me to come." I didn't even think about it, so I threw the pot to Li Zhilin, "He loves to make a fuss too much." ”

Li Zhilin, who heard this, also rolled his eyes to the sky.

"Okay. Now let's talk about what kind of machinations you have. "At noon, because the doctor inadvertently told him to eat lightly during the injury, Li Zhilin chose a Huaiyang restaurant, but he didn't let me order the squirrel fish I particularly wanted to eat - 'fish is hair' Li Zhilin gave such a reason.

"It's upset that you have such an opinion about me." Li Zhilin pursed his lips, "I'm not a sinister and cunning person, I'm a businessman, and I'm serious about business." ”

"I just remember that when you introduced yourself, the auctioneer took me to make a big fuss about the company early this morning, and it should be hard for people to believe that it was not a conspiracy." Thinking about this morning's toss that is completely out of line with my personality is a headache, and I guess in a few days it will be codified as one of the company's new seven incredible things.

"It's you who makes the trouble." Li Zhilin continued without a long look, "But I am hungry and agree with the colleague who helped you speak, you were so handsome when you started the fire. In fact, many times, you don't have to be a good person and wronged yourself. Li Zhilin dragged his cheeks and looked at me thoughtfully.

"I'm not here to listen to you. Don't try to change the subject, say, what the hell do you want to do, right? As far as I can see, Ruan is not as close as you say. I looked at me suspiciously, my fingers tapping lightly on the table.

Li Zhilin continued to insist on the innocent expression on his face, and said to me with a suffocated mouth: "I didn't say that I had a close relationship with her, but I would like to know why you came to such a conclusion?" After speaking, Li Zhilin supported his head with his hand and looked at me with interest.

I didn't really want to sell it, so I said straight to the point: "When you shake hands." If you are really familiar with Mr. Ruan, you will never stretch out your right hand. ”

Li Zhilin still had a smile in his eyes, but his body sat up a little straighter because of my words, but he still had a rather playful smile on his face: "Shouldn't I stretch out my right hand?" ”

"It really shouldn't." I have to say that Li Zhilin's smile is very attractive, and when facing him, I always can't help but want to laugh, "You don't know she's left-handed, right?" ”

"Oh?"

"Nguyen is always left-handed, and I found out when she sat across from me. But she hides this very well, unless it's a close partner or family member who is often with her, no one probably knows about it. I saw a slight scratch on the outside of her right hand, which must have been caused by a long period of flipping through the materials, but if she was right-handed, the scars from the leaves should have appeared on the fingers that often flipped through the materials. But left-handed, because most documents are bound on the left side, when turning the material with the left hand, the pages will leave scratches on the outside of the palm. In addition, because I was embarrassed to look up, my eyes stayed on her hand, and I found that the calluses on the forepaw of Ruan's right hand and under the thumb were significantly thicker than the calluses on his right hand. I tried it myself later, and the cocoon in this position should have been formed by holding it for a long time, and it is not difficult to see from Ruan's muscular figure that she should exercise regularly. So I boldly deduced that the thick callus on Mr. Ruan's left hand should be left after often participating in ball games, if there are calluses on both hands, then it should be said that he often plays tennis? Because it is left-handed, everything on the serve is a left-handed grip, and if the dominant hand is left-handed, the cocoon of the left hand will naturally be thicker than that of the right-handed. ”

"In summary." I straightened my back, "I don't think you're familiar with him, at least not as good as you say." You don't even know that he is left-handed, which means that Mr. Ruan is still wary of you. You haven't played tennis with her, have you? ”

"Poof" Li Zhilin laughed, "Mo Zhi's current appearance is almost like a primary school student raising his hand to answer the teacher's question." It's so cute. ”

"Cute is a polite word when you can't praise it with other adjectives. I don't feel like I'm getting complimented because of that word. I righteously said, "But you didn't refute my inference. ”

"Actually, you guessed it all."

"Not a guess." I stressed loudly, and then looked around apologetically, but luckily no one showed a look of displeasure because I was a little too loud, or rather, no one was paying attention to us at all.

The waiter brought the dishes one after another, and Li Zhilin scalded the chopsticks with hot water before handing them to me: "I'm sorry, I said it wrong." There is nothing wrong with your observations and conclusions. Actually, my client is the CEO of Zhiye Company, which you have been working with to develop new projects, and he is the one who proposed to hold a charity auction when the new project opens. And Nguyen is always the executor of this auction, and to be honest, today is the first time we have met. Previously, they were all contacted online and by phone. So, it was also the first time I knew that she was left-handed. It should be that the boss of Zhiye didn't think it was so important, so he didn't tell me. As for whether Nguyen always played tennis regularly, I can only say that it is possible. After all, Mr. Lu of Zhiye joined an amateur tennis club, whether Mr. Ruan and him are both members of this tennis club, we can only speculate. But if you're interested, I can help you inquire. ”

"Don't." I reached out to stop him from going on, "I'm not interested in the private lives of the CEOs at all. ”

"That's right. I see that you are also at a loss when you face President Ruan and her secretary today, and I think you are too concerned about the internal situation in your office. Although the words sounded complaining, there was only a laughing tone in his tone.

"I'm just not gossipy. So after a long time, you just helped your customers achieve the wish of a version of the auction, so why did you force me to appear? "Halfway through the meal, I realized that Li Zhilin had been avoiding my questions for a long time.

"It's just fun."

Li Zhilin's answer almost choked me.

"Seriously?" I cleared my breath before I asked him.

He feigned surprise: "I would have misunderstood what you meant. ”

"You understand what I'm talking about?" I glared at him, "But I don't seem to be bothering with you today. Tell me about the charity auction, do I need to do something? I don't want to just take money and not work. ”

"Just follow me! And to be honest, I didn't really want you to participate in this auction, I just wanted to take this opportunity to get you to do something interesting. Li Zhilin, who was opposite, was smiling like a big bad wolf at the moment.

"If my boss knew your true intentions, he would hang me on the top of the building and expose me to the sun for three days. If it weren't for anything serious, I'd go back to the office in the afternoon and continue working from 9 to 5. "I looked at the person on the other side who had been talking about it with some tiredness, and felt that the seriousness in front of me was a big problem.

"It's a very important thing." In order to make me believe, Li Zhilin even raised three fingers, "It has something to do with Su Baichang." ”

Hearing Su Baichang's name, my hand, which was still bored poking the plate with chopsticks, shook unconsciously: "Is there news of him?" ”

"There's news of his sister." When it came to Su Baichang, Li Zhilin's expression rarely became serious again, "Recently, an official seal of the Song Dynasty appeared on the black market. The seal had been in exile overseas and had been a collector's item for seal lovers until five years ago, when it resurfaced in public at an auction in the United Kingdom. Because the production date of the official seal is the early Song Dynasty, and because of the particularity of 'the Song Dynasty because of the Tang system, all the divisions are made of copper', the prince also observed that the official seals of the following officials are only distinguished by gold-coated seals, so this gold-coated official seal has a very high value for the study of the history of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, the gold-painted official seal of the early Song Dynasty circulating in the market was even rarer, so this official seal was auctioned at a very high price at that time. It's just that the host of the auction secretly took the fake and packaged the real thing, and slipped away with the official seal. ”

"Looks like what we experienced last Friday?" I remembered what happened on Friday.

"That's right." Li Zhilin nodded, "Greed is a mistake that almost everyone makes. Do you want this thing? Few can resist its temptation. But to get back to the point, this official seal finally fell into the hands of Su Baichang's sister. I don't know exactly how it happened, but I just heard from my peers that the auctioneer who absconded two years ago was found dead in his apartment in a small town in the United States. The police finally came to the conclusion that the burglary was a burglary, and when investigating the identity of the deceased, they found out the case record from 5 years ago. Because I am also an auctioneer, I am quite concerned about the orientation of the official seal in his hand. I happened to be in the United States at the time, so I asked a friend to help me inquire about the situation from the investigation team. It is a pity that in the deceased's home, I mean that this official seal was not found in the relics sorted out at the place of the crime. So, at that time, I wondered if it was the auctioneer who hid the things, or if someone found out about his theft, they pretended to rob the official seal and killed them together. ”

"If it's the second speculation, it's also a burglary." I replied sarcastically, and sure enough, I saw Li Zhilin on the other side lowering his eyebrows aggrievedly.

"I'm not done yet." He complained quietly, "Although both count as burglaries, the suspects in the burglary caused by these two speculations are definitely two types of people." If it is the first case, then it may be that the ordinary thief kills the victim because the victim resists or something, and as for the specific type of criminal, it belongs to the research and detection of criminal psychologists. But if it's the second case, that's what I need to look into to understand. Because revenge killings and robbery killings with a clear purpose can be disguised as burglary, but if it is a vendetta, then the whereabouts of this official seal will be returned to the previous buyer, and the official seal will no longer appear in public. And if it is just for the official seal, then soon, after the murderer succeeds, in order to make money as soon as possible, the official seal will appear in the black market. Li Zhilin smiled and said these words, which looked a little terrifying.

I moved my chair back slightly: "What does that have to do with Su Baichang's sister?" She's a murderer? ”

"Oh no!" Li Zhilin shook his head, "To be honest, I haven't found out who the murderer is until now?" It's just that when Mi Zhen asked me to check on Su Baichang, I happened to find out that Su Baichang's sister had left the United States on the third day after the official seal was lost. Then, after another three months, the official seal really appeared on the black market. The correlation between them is very doubtful. However, because it is the policy of our auctioneers not to participate in the underground auction of this black market, we missed the opportunity to appreciate it last time. But because of this result, I was a little relieved. ”

"Do you mean that if you haven't collected it, you still have the opportunity to study its historical value?"

Li Zhilin smiled exaggeratedly: "How can I have such a high spiritual realm." I just don't think it's a vendetta, I think about it in my pocket, and I won't invite killing, and my neck feels a lot lighter. ”

Looking at Li Zhilin with an excited face speechlessly, I sneered.

"Don't put on that look, I'm kidding. After all, going to the black market would revoke my auctioneer's license. So. Li Zhilin suddenly looked at me with the kind of wet eyes that only a puppy can have, and pleaded with his hands together: "So I want to please please go to the black market with Jiang Yuan!" ”
