Although it is impossible to say whether there is such a thing as retribution in this world, it is better not to chew your tongue behind your back if you are fine. Mao Qiushi just complained in front of Liu Qifeng two days ago that Li Xiaoning had stomach bleeding from drinking, and then it was fulfilled on himself.

In fact, Mao Qiushi's alcohol consumption is still good, and his body is also strong, but when he accompanied Liu Qifeng out to socialize that day, he ate authentic Sichuan food, and he didn't eat something beforehand, plus he was anxious to show himself in front of Liu Qifeng, but he drank too much and was too anxious, and he sprayed a table of blood on the spot and was sent directly to the hospital.

In this way, Liu Qifeng was very unhappy, first of all, this incident made him feel very embarrassed, and secondly, he thought that Mao Qiushi's work ability was problematic, and drinking was also an important job of the secretary. In addition, Mao Qiushi was the person arranged for him by Duan Yonghong, Secretary General of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, and he didn't trust him very much, but now he wants to take the opportunity to replace him.

But firstly, Liu Qifeng did not have his own team in Binhai City, and secondly, Mao Qiushi was a deputy department-level cadre, and he could not be said to be replaced, so Liu Qifeng simply let Mao Qiushi lie in the hospital all the time. magnificently transferred Li Xiaoning to himself as a guest secretary. Originally, Liu Qifeng, as the leader of a sub-provincial city, had to be at least at the deputy department level, and Li Xiaoning was not eligible in any case, but a "temporary" title blocked all the mouths of the others.

said that it was temporary, but Liu Qifeng did not use Li Xiaoning as a temporary worker in his heart, especially with Mao Qiushi's farce as a comparison, he felt that Li Xiaoning was the qualified secretary he needed the most, of course, for the sake of safety, he still had to continue to investigate.

On this day, Liu Qifeng suddenly called Li Xiaoning into his office and asked, "Xiao Li, do you know where to buy good antiques in Binhai City?" ”

Li Xiaoning picked up Liu Qifeng's teacup to add water, and said with a smile: "Chief, this antique is really not easy to handle. Generally, there are no sales, but there are sales, like auction houses, and the price is very expensive. On the antique street, it is possible to be lucky to pick up a leak, but the eyesight requirements are particularly high. ”

"Oh?" Liu Qifeng heard Li Xiaoning's subtext, and asked with a smile, "How is your eyesight?" ”

Li Xiaoning put the teacup with water back into Liu Qifeng's hand, and said with a smile: "When I was in college in Yanjing, I went to the glaze factory whenever I had time, and my eyesight was not good, but I could still see the general fraud. ”

"Okay, then let's go to the antique street now and see if we can pick up a big leak, haha!" Liu Qifeng was aroused by Li Xiaoning's interest, got up from the boss's chair, and wanted to leave.

Li Xiaoning was not in a hurry, but said with a slight evil smile: "Chief, it's okay to go, but we have to make three chapters of the law." ”

Liu Qifeng pointed at Li Xiaoning with his finger and said, "You kid, there are quite a lot of Taoism." Let's listen to it, what are the three chapters of the covenant? ”

"This is the first, you must not drive the No. 1 car of the municipal party committee, otherwise everyone will know that you have gone down to inspect the work, and you will not want to find anything." Li Xiaoning said with a grin.

"That's fine." Liu Qifeng agreed without thinking about it, "Let's find a car casually, Xiao Tang doesn't bring it, just you can drive." By the way, you have a driver's license, right? ”

"I took the exam when I was in college, and I still have an old B certificate, except for the bus!" Li Xiaoning took out his wallet, lit up his driver's license, and said.

"That'll do." Liu Qifeng nodded and said, "Tell me what those two are?" ”

"Second, it's simple." Li Xiaoning continued, "Since you are going to look for things, your expectations should not be too high, if you are unlucky, you will not be able to see anything real in the entire antique street." ”

"That's no problem, I'll just steal half a day." Liu Qifeng unconsciously became elegant again.

"As for the third point." Li Xiaoning pondered for a while and said, "When you encounter something that you like, you can't make a sound, chief, you have to bargain with me." ”

"That's even better." Liu Qifeng smiled and said, "Xiao Li, don't worry." I am not an outsider directing an insider. ”

"That's good. Chief, you wait here for a while, I'll go to the reception and borrow a car first. Li Xiaoning said with a smile, his heart was also eager to try, after arriving in Binhai, he had not had a chance to go to the antique street to shop, and his heart was also uncomfortable.

On the way, Liu Qifeng told Li Xiaoning why he suddenly wanted to buy antiques. It turned out that Liu Qifeng's three college classmates were going to come to Binhai for a vacation, and one of them was his old class president, who had a very good relationship with him, and slept in bunk beds when he was in college. The two of them not only played together, occupied seats for each other in evening self-study, and helped each other to eat, Liu Qifeng also helped the old squad leader write a love letter, and the old squad leader's current wife relied on the love letter written by Liu Qifeng to catch up. The old squad leader has no other hobbies, and his favorite thing is collecting antiques, so he must choose something that can be used, and of course it must be genuine.

Li Xiaoning knew that the reason why Liu Qifeng was so attentive to personally preparing gifts was not only because of the friendship between classmates, but I was afraid that the main reason was that Liu Qifeng's old squad leader must be in a high position now.

Li Xiaoning followed Liu Qifeng's tone while driving: "In fact, the most attractive part of antiques lies in the storage of fakes and fakes. If everything is true, there is no such thing as a connoisseur or collector. Because then you just have to have more money than anyone. How good it is now, although it is possible to spend a lot of money to buy medicine to eat, but it is also possible to pick up leaks and spend a small amount of money to find genuine goods and high-quality products. ”

"That's a novel idea." Liu Qifeng carefully smacked Li Xiaoning's words.

When they arrived at the antique street, the two of them went back and forth twice, not to mention Li Xiaoning, a person who often haunts the antique market, even Liu Qifeng didn't see anything that could catch his eyes, and in disappointment, the two of them prepared to leave.

At this moment, an old man with a southern accent rubbed up, half a step beyond Liu Qifeng, and followed him forward with half a retreat, saying: "At first glance, the boss is a rich and noble person, and the general goods are not eye-catching, how many good things do I have in my hand, go over and take a look?" ”

Liu Qifeng looked back at Li Xiaoning, what does that mean? To go or not to go? Li Xiaoning didn't know how many times he had encountered this situation in Liulichang when he was in college, and he knew that they were all old liars, so he said: "Mr. Liu, if you don't leave, you will be late for the afternoon meeting." ”

The old man immediately reacted, Li Xiaoning was the master, and hurriedly turned to Li Xiaoning and said: "Boss, at first glance, you are a good family, appreciate your face, go over and take a look, not far away, in the hotel at the corner of the street, I am a thing handed down from my ancestors, sell it to others, I feel distressed." ”

Li Xiaoning waved his hand to interrupt him, he had heard a lot of this kind of words about wearing a high hat in Yanjing Liuli Factory, and he didn't want to pay attention to him, but the car happened to stop at the corner of the street, and it was not bothersome to take a look by the way, so he said: "Don't say these useless, take us to see." ”

"Okay. The two bosses came with me. The old man smiled with joy.

The old man's inn was one of those small roadside shops, with no extra furniture in the room except for a bed and a table. When they entered, they found a young man lying on one of the beds, sleeping shirtless, snoring loudly.

The old man didn't say a word, and went up to slap the young man, "Bastard, didn't you tell you to watch things well?" Why did you fall asleep again? What if I lose my baby? ”

Liu Qifeng saw that the old man beat his son mercilessly, and his heart suddenly became eager, if it was not a real baby, why should the old man be so careful? Li Xiaoning knew that these were actually the tricks used by these old liars, but he didn't say anything, but wanted to see what they could come up with.

After the old man beat his son fat, he arched his ass under the bed and rummaged through things, and then carefully dragged out a cardboard box, the gap of which was stuffed with waste newspapers and horse manure paper.

The old man slowly opened the cardboard box, took out an object more than a foot high wrapped in a blanket from it, carefully carried it, and stuffed it into Liu Qifeng's arms.

Liu Qifeng just wanted to reach out to pick it up, but he was already dragged by Li Xiaoning and avoided it from a distance. Then he sneered and said, "Don't try to slander us, we are not raw hands." He was talking about a rule in the antique shop, that is, "the jade is not in hand", that is, the two parties will not directly hand the jade to the other party, but one party will put the jade down first, and the other party will pick it up. This is mainly done to prevent the handover from being missed, but "not to be handed" can clearly distinguish between the responsibilities of both parties, and the same is true for fragile items such as porcelain.

Many people who don't understand the rules of the trade will reach out to pick it up when they see the seller handing over something, but as soon as you stretch out your hand, the person who handed the thing deliberately loosens his hand, and then "snaps", you can't tell clearly.

The old man smiled "honestly", showed a mouth full of yellow teeth, turned around, put the things on the table, and then carefully uncovered the blanket, revealing the true face of the objects inside.

Li Xiaoning saw that the thing was indeed steady, so he stretched out his hand and asked Liu Qifeng to come over and look at it slowly.

As soon as Liu Qifeng saw that thing, his eyes suddenly became eager, but after all, he was also an old official, and what he was good at was to hide the true thoughts in his heart, and after being slightly excited in his heart, he immediately calmed down again, and looked back at Li Xiaoning quietly.

When Li Xiaoning walked to him, he also chuckled in his heart, of course, his face was as calm as ever, and no one could see what he was thinking.

On the table is a flat-bellied gourd vase with ears - blue and white porcelain.
