In the next few days, Xiao Rong shuttled through the major gambling stone clubs in the capital, shot again and again, gambled and rose, and became famous and famous for a while. It is rumored in the circle that this mysterious master is said to be the reincarnation of a gambling stone boy.

Because he always solves the stone on the spot, shoots on the spot, leaves after the solution, never stops, and never explains, does not pay, is alone, very mysterious. Some good deeds jokingly said that he was like a mysterious auspicious holy beast known as "God's eyes peeping into the sky, and the magic palm is wonderful", so he was given the nickname of "God-eyed Qilin". It was inadvertently combined with his ability, it was really a drink and a peck, it was not heavenly.

Shi Chunli would always appear at the scene of Xiao Rong's calculus during this time, but she never disturbed him or took the initiative to show her goodwill, except for occasionally buying a few pieces of jade untiled by Xiao Rong, she frequently asked Yu Ling'er to go out shopping and play. And she had returned to Lirui a few days ago, and before leaving, she repeatedly invited Yu Ling'er to have time to play.

Secret Service, Zhao Cheng's office.

After listening to Xiao Rong and Li Hua's reports, Zhao Cheng nodded: "This woman is not simple, she has a smart mind and clever means, you should be careful when dealing with her in the future." ”

Xiao Rong nodded and said, "I know, didn't you let me come back less recently?" What, what's wrong? ”

"It's not a big deal, the China Treasure Association has coordinated it, this is your certificate." Zhao Cheng handed over a small notebook.

"Executive Director?" Xiao Rong looked at it and raised his head in surprise: "How can it be such a big official, the Zhongbao Association really gives face." ”

"What, I still want to ask you, originally people only promised to give a fictitious title of nominal director, although your 'Divine Eye Qilin' is now very famous, in the end you are just a newcomer." Zhao Cheng was also a little puzzled and said: "Later, I heard that it was Qiao Lao who spoke and directly gave him the position of executive director." When did you meet Qiao Lao? ”

"Old Qiao? I don't know, what does Joe always do? Xiao Rong was surprised.

"Don't know? That's weird. Zhao Cheng was a little stunned: "Qiao Lao's real name is Qiao Lin, he is a master of jade carving in the Northern School, an expert in ancient jade in the Palace Museum, and the honorary president of the China Treasure Association. ”

Xiao Rong was also stunned, and suddenly remembered the old man who asked him when he solved the blue flower jade floating in the blue water of the high ice seed in Zhang Haibo's villa that day, and felt that he had an extraordinary temperament, could it be him?

"Senior brother, is Qiao Lao sixty or seventy years old, with white hair and beard, looks gentle and elegant, and has a noble temperament?" Xiao Rong hurriedly asked.

"Yes, don't you know each other?" Zhao Cheng replied: "How do you know what he looks like?" ”

"I don't know each other, but I have a relationship." Xiao Rong smiled and told the events of that day: "I didn't expect it to be stained with the light of his old man." ”

"You're really lucky." Zhao Cheng smiled: "Okay, now there is a chance, you can go to Lirui." ”

"Oh, let's hear it."

"The annual Huaxia Lirui International Jewelry Culture Festival is about to start again, this cultural festival is sponsored by the Huaxia Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Industry Association, the Propaganda Department of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, the Yunnan Provincial Cultural Affairs Office, the Hongde Dai Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture Party Committee, and the State People's Government.

"Good is good, who leads the team, I don't like others to point fingers at me." Xiao Rong asked questions.

"The stinky boy knows that you will say this, don't worry, you can say it earlier, you can do your own thing, no one cares about you." Zhao Cheng couldn't help laughing and scolding.

"It's pretty much the same, it's the most annoying thing for those bureaucrats, there must be more of this kind of activity, and there will be a lot of entertainment, so I don't have to suffer that sin." Xiao Rong pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

"But let's not embarrass people too much, there are only three of them in total, and sometimes you still have to take care of the face." Zhao Cheng instructed: "The China Treasure Association is very helpful this time, don't let people not get off the stage." ”

"I understand, I still understand this bit of human sophistication." Xiao Rong smiled lazily: "I'm about to leave the capital, let's go to my brother's house for a meal tonight, I drool when I think of the food made by my sister-in-law." ”

Yunnan Province Hongde Dai Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture MS Airport, the exit of the flow of people in a group of five people are walking and chatting, it is Xiao Rong and others, the leader of the three people in the treasure association is a deputy secretary general, is a smooth and smiling little chubby old man all day long, called Ma Pijing, Xiao Rong saw him for the first time, almost couldn't help laughing when he heard his name, the name "sycophant" is too creative. Because Xiao Rong's position is higher than him, he still respects Xiao Rong very much.

There is also a person named Gu Dongfang, who is an unsmiling and old-fashioned person, he is from Lirui, so he will participate in every Lirui event as long as he has time. Gu Dongfang has been a jade expert for several generations, and he is actually very dismissive of Xiao Rong in his heart, thinking that he is just lucky, and has a lot of opinions on the appointment of such a hairy boy as the executive director of the China Treasure Association, so he ignored Xiao Rong and the two along the way.

The last person is called Chang Feng, who is about the same age as Xiao Rong, medium build, shrewd and clever, he is running errands with him, and he is a special admirer of Xiao Rong.

At the exit of the airport, there were people from the Lirui Jade Association waiting there, and as soon as a few people walked out of the exit, they saw a group of people coming up, the first one was burly, with a face full of meat, although it was a suit and leather shoes, full of smiles, but it gave people a feeling of 'smiling tiger'.

"Secretary-General Ma, welcome, welcome, hard work all the way." The visitor smiled and stretched out his hands to Ma Pijing.

"I'm sorry President Cao, let you wait for a long time, you see that you are always so polite." Ma Pijing smiled and shook hands with the other party.

"Where, where, as it should be, as it should be, ancient, you are here too, hard work." The person who came said hello to Gu Dongfang again.

Ma Pijing saw that Xiao Rong was a little left out, and hurriedly stood up and introduced: "President Cao, let me introduce, this is Mr. Xiao Rongxiao, the new executive director of our China Treasure Association, and this is his wife, Ms. Yu Ling'er. ”

The person who came was stunned for a moment, and immediately stretched out his hand to Xiao Rong with a smile: "Director Xiao, I'm sorry, it's rude, it's rude, it's Cao Dameng, the vice president of the Lirui Jade Association, please take care of me in the future." ”

In fact, Xiao Rong recognized this person as soon as he appeared, and it was exactly the same as the photo in the information of the secret service, not to mention that Shi Chunli waved to Yu Ling'er behind him.

"President Cao is polite, I'm still young, and I still need more advice from your seniors on some things." Xiao Rong smiled and shook hands with him, neither humble nor arrogant.

Cao Dameng didn't even dare to say it, and at this time, Shi Chunli came up just right to say hello: "Hello Mr. Xiao, see you again." Sister Ling'er, you miss me to death, why don't you call me in advance if you want to come. ”

"Sister Shi, it was Xiao Rong who decided to come temporarily, and I thought I'd call you when I arrived, but I didn't expect to see you just after getting off the plane." Yu Ling'er also pretended to be happy.

"What, Director Xiao and Manager Shi know each other?" Cao Dameng asked in surprise.

"Hehe, I have had a few encounters in the capital, Manager Shi and my wife are close friends, this time I came with me to play with Manager Shi, I didn't expect to see it just when I arrived, it's really where I don't meet in life." Xiao Rong smiled faintly.

"What I'm saying is, come, everyone has worked hard all the way, please get in the car first." Cao Dameng beckoned everyone to get into the car.

After getting on the bus, Shi Chunli learned that Xiao Rong and the others came to Lirui for the first time, and took the initiative to be a tour guide: "Our Lirui is called Mengmao in the Dai language, which means "a green place shrouded in fog". It borders MD on three sides, the Lirui River is like a sparkling jade belt, and the Longchuan River is like a golden ribbon, which is wrapped around the jade-like Lirui Dam from the east and west, which adds to the beauty of its style. And in Chinese, Lirui also means auspicious and beautiful......"

In Shi Chunli's witty introduction, the car drove into the Lirui Dam where Lirui City is located, only to see that Lirui Dam is surrounded by mountains, open and flat, the vast fields are full of tropical fruit forests and phoenix tail bamboo covered by the Dai family bamboo building, and the rubber forest on the slope is lush and endless; The sparkling Lirui River and the rafts of ferries and boats fuse the scenery and people on both sides of the strait into an indescribable exoticism.

"It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful here, even the air is fresh, Rong, I love it here." Yu Ling'er deliberately made a happy appearance.

"We'll stay longer as long as you like, okay?" Xiao Rong looked doting, but he was smiling secretly in his heart.

Shi Chunli also persuaded: "Sister Ling'er, we have a lot of fun here, you can stay longer, I will take you around to play, and you like it." ”

"Really, then you're welcome, Sister Shi, you arranged it for me, hehe, it's really beautiful here, I must have a good time."

The car had already arrived at the hotel while speaking, and Cao Dameng smiled and said: "Lirui is a small place, and there is no five-star hotel, this Jingcheng Hotel is only four-star, and you will stay." ”

Everyone even said politely, Cao Dameng and others sent everyone to the door of the room before saying goodbye: "The leaders have worked hard all the way, take a rest in the afternoon, and I will set up a banquet for you in the evening to pick up the wind and say goodbye." ”

Shi Chunli also said: "Sister Ling'er, I'll go back first, you have a good rest, and I'll come back in the evening." ”

"Okay, Sister Shi, you go slowly."

That night, the Lirui Jade Association held a luxurious reception dinner and took everyone to a courtyard with strong ethnic minority characteristics. The side of the house facing the courtyard was without walls, and a banquet was set up in the house, and a bonfire was lit in the courtyard.

Liu Quan, another vice president of the Lirui Jade Association, also participated tonight, this person is of medium stature, does not speak much, it is said that he started step by step from an apprentice, he is down-to-earth and steady, and has a good reputation in the circle.
