Chapter 8: Diverting Attention (Part II)
Jovis smiled and said, "Mr. Zeng, the last time you brought the auction items, I already told you that we will meet again soon." ”
"Yes! You said that. Zeng Mingshan pondered a little and asked, "Mr. Jovis, do you have anything to do with me?!" ”
Jovis looked around and asked with a smile, "Mr. Zeng, are we just standing at the door talking?!" You won't invite me in and sit down?! ”
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Zeng Mingshan got out of the way and said, "Mr. Jovis, please come in." ”
Jovis nodded slightly and walked in. Zeng Mingshan turned his head and said to the stunned man who was following Jovis: "Go get a pot of water." ”
"Yes!" The second stunned man answered and left quickly.
Closing the door, Zeng Mingshan sat down in front of Jovis and said, "Mr. Jovis, can you talk about it now?!" ”
Jovis nodded and said, "Mr. Zeng, I am very clear about your current situation. If you continue to stay in Beiping, you will probably lose your life here. ”
"Mr. Jovis, the purpose of your coming today is to persuade me to give up this auction and leave Peking now with my things?!" Without waiting for Jovis to finish speaking, Zeng Mingshan interrupted.
"No, no, no!" Jovis shook his head and said, "Mr. Zeng, you misunderstood what I meant. ”
"Isn't it?!" Zeng Mingshan asked hysterically with a frown.
"Mr. Zeng, please calm down, when I finish speaking, it's not too late for you to make a decision!" After that, Jovis paused, looked at Zeng Mingshan's reaction, and then said: "The piece of jade pendant you brought to auction can be regarded as first-class in terms of both the material of the jade and the carving, even if there is no gimmick of heavenly treasure in it, I believe that the value of this jade pendant is also very high." The purpose of my visit today is to hope that you can transfer this jade pendant to me, and I will bear all the risks. What do you think?! ”
After listening to Jovis's words, Zeng Mingshan sighed, leaned back, held the handle of the chair with one hand, and supported his forehead with the other, thinking in his heart. At this moment, the second stunned man walked in with the kettle and pushed the door, walked to the side, poured two cups of tea and sent them to the table in front of Zeng Mingshan and Jovis, and then walked to Zeng Mingshan's side, and asked softly: "Master, are you uncomfortable?!" Do you want to get a doctor?! ”
Zeng Mingshan raised his head, looked at the second stunned, and said weakly: "You go out first!" I have something to talk about with Mr. Jovis. ”
"Yes!" The second stunned glanced at Jovis, and then said, "Master, I'm just outside, what do you call me?" With that, he walked out of the room in a daze. When the door of the room closed, Zeng Mingshan asked, "Mr. Jovis, how much money are you going to pay to receive this jade pendant from me?!" ”
Jovis thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "How much does Mr. Zeng want?!" ”
Zeng Mingshan pondered for a moment and said: "The starting price of that jade pendant is 10,000 oceans, if it works better, 100,000 oceans will not be a problem." I want 50,000 oceans, isn't it?! ”
Hearing Zeng Mingshan's words, Jovis said while playing with the bowl in his hand: "Mr. Zeng, no one can say for sure about the auction, you also said just now, under the condition of good operation, it is only worth 100,000 oceans." As soon as you open your mouth, you ask for 50,000 oceans, are you because I'm a fool?! ”
Zeng Mingshan sneered: "As the saying goes, 'the sky is full of asking for money to pay back on the spot.'" Just now you asked me how much I wanted, and I just gave you a reference price, and I didn't let you bargain. ”
"Okay!" Jovis thought for a while and said, "I won't go around in circles with you, a fixed price, 20,000 oceans." ”
"Twenty thousand oceans?!" The corners of Zeng Mingshan's mouth curled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's too little!" At least 30,000 oceans. ”
Jovis kept tapping his fingers on the table, thinking about it for about ten minutes, and said, "I still have 20,000 oceans, but I can guarantee that you will leave Beiping safely." I don't know if Mr. Zeng is satisfied with this article. ”
Hearing Jovis's words, Zeng Mingshan asked with some interest: "Can you really ensure that I leave Beiping safely?!" ”
"Of course!" Jovis put on his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "I'm a businessman, and doing business is all about credibility." With that, Jovis took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and said, "I have something to do, go first." Mr. Zeng thought that he could come to the auction house at any time to find me. With that, Jovis stood up and turned to walk in the direction of the door.
"Wait!" Jovis was just about to reach out and pull the doorknob when Zeng Mingshan's voice sounded behind him. Jovis turned around and asked, "Is there anything else going on with Mr. Zeng?!" ”
Zeng Mingshan said: "I think clearly. Now I can sign an agreement with you. But I need cash, and I'm going to get it after signing the agreement, and you have to send someone to take me out of Peking immediately. ”
Jovis shrugged his shoulders and said, "None of this is a problem! ”
"That's good! Please wait for me, my dress will go with you! With that, Zeng Mingshan turned around and walked into the next room. After about three or four minutes, Zeng Mingshan walked out and said, "Mr. Jovis, let's go!" ”
"Sir!" Zeng Mingshan and Jovis walked out of the door, and the two men who had been guarding the door left and ran up. Zeng Mingshan took out ten silver dollars from his pocket and handed them to the second stunned man, and said, "Mr. Jovis invited me to dinner, I may not come tonight, you can go play by yourself!" ”
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! The two stunned happily took the silver dollar and watched Zeng Mingshan and Jovis leave. ……
Time passed quickly, and it was two o'clock in the afternoon in the blink of an eye. Hong Yu came to the door of Yongtai Garment Store on time as agreed. Looking left and right, Hong Yu was just about to walk towards the tea shed not far away, and saw Zhao Qishan and Qian Weiyong coming from not far away, and greeted them with a smile: "Two teachers, you are here!" ”
"You've been here for a long time, haven't you?!" Zhao Qishan asked with a smile.
"No, I've just arrived." After that, Hong Yu then asked, "Where are we going next?!" ”
Qian Weiyong glanced at Zhao Qishan and said to Hong Yu: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just come with us." With that, Qian Weiyong bypassed Hong Yu and walked towards Yongtai Garment Store. Looking at Qian Weiyong's back, Zhao Qishan walked to Hong Yu's side, patted Hong Yu's shoulder, and said: "He is such a person, don't take it to heart, let's go!" After that, Zhao Qishan took Hong Yu to keep up with Qian Weiyong's footsteps. Turning left and right, the three of them walked through the streets and alleys, turned around the alley twice, and after making sure that no one was following behind them, Qian Weiyong and Zhao Qishan took Hong Yu to the gate of a courtyard house.
Qian Weiyong stepped forward and knocked on the door. Not long after, a crack opened in the door, and a teenager poked his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?!" ”
Qian Weiyong replied: "The contemptible surname is Qian, I made an appointment with Mr. Gu yesterday, and today I will talk about the script." ”
"What script?!" The boy asked.
Qian Weiyong replied: "Red Sun." ”
The young man opened the door and said, "Mr. Gu has been waiting for a long time, come in!" ”
Qian Weiyong nodded at the young man and walked in with Zhao Qishan and Hong Yu. The boy looked left and right to make sure that no one was following them, and then closed the door.
"Lao Qian, Lao Zhao, you are here!" Qian Weiyong and the three walked into the courtyard, and a middle-aged man with glasses walked out of the living room.
Qian Weiyong nodded, shook hands with the middle-aged man with glasses, and asked, "Old Gu, are you ready?!" ”
"Ready, come with me!" After that, Lao Gu took Qian Weiyong and the three of them to the study not far away. Entering the study, Zhao Qishan, who was walking last, had just closed the door of the study, Lao Gu didn't know where to press it, the bookshelf slowly moved away, and a red flag printed with an axe and sickle came into everyone's eyes.
Qian Weiyong turned to Hong Yu and said, "Classmate Hong Yu, you must be very strange, why did we bring you here?!" Seeing Hong Yu nodding, Qian Weiyong continued: "Now the situation of our party, you must be very clear. I won't say more, the application for joining the party that you submitted some time ago has been approved after careful study by the organization and through strict examination of you. Congratulations, Comrade Hong Yu, you have become one of us. With that, Qian Weiyong stretched out his hand.
Hong Yu shook hands with Qian Weiyong and said, "Thank you for the organization's trust in me." I won't say anything else, please organize a test for me. ”
Lao Gu opened the desk drawer, took out a piece of paper from the mezzanine, walked to the side of the flag, and said, "Comrade Hong Yu, please raise your right hand and swear to me!" Lao Gu saw that Hong Yu raised his right hand, clenched his fist, pointed at the position of his temple, and then said: "I voluntarily join the Communist Party of China!" ”
Hong Yu followed and said: "I voluntarily join the Communist Party of China!" ”
"Keep it confidential!"
The Hong family followed and said: "Strictly keep secrets!" ”
"Obey discipline!"
Hong Yu followed and said: "Obey discipline!" ”
"Sacrifice yourself!"
Hong Yu followed and said: "Sacrifice yourself! ”
"Class Struggle!"
Hong Yu followed and said: "Class struggle! ”
"Strive for revolution!"
Hong Yu followed and said: "Work hard to revolutionize!" ”
"Never betray the party!"
Hong Yu followed and said: "Never betray the party!" ”
"If you violate the above items, you are willing to be severely disciplined by the party!"
Hong Yu followed and said: "If you violate the above items, you are willing to be severely disciplined by the party!" ”
"Oath Taker: ......"
Hong Yu followed and said: "Oath taker: Hong Yu! ”
"The oath is complete!" With that, Lao Gu pressed the mechanism, and the bookshelf returned to its original position. Qian Weiyong walked to Hong Yu's side, took out an envelope and handed it to Hong Yu, and said, "Comrade Hong Yu, please accept the first task after joining the party." ”
Hong Yu took the envelope, opened it, took out a piece of paper from it, and looked at it seriously. After about two or three minutes, Hong Yu finished reading the contents of the paper and asked, "If I go to the Central Military Academy, then what will happen to my current studies?!" ”
Zhao Qishan said: "At the beginning of the next semester, you will enter the internship stage. I've already arranged everything for you, so don't worry! However, the guarantee of going to the military academy can only be figured out by yourself. ”
Hong Yu smiled and said, "This is not a problem, I can ask my father-in-law to help." ”
Hearing Hong Yu's words, Lao Gu took the lead in nodding, took out half a banknote from his pocket, walked in front of Hong Yu, and said, "Comrade Hong Yu, from now on, your code name is Heavenly Wolf." Your identity is top secret and you don't contact anyone, and when someone shows up with the other half of the bill and asks you, 'What is the weather tomorrow?' you reply, 'It's not cold, but it's going to rain at night', then the person asks you, 'What is the day after the rain', you reply, 'It's sunny after the rain, and the sun is red'. He will give you the task. ”
"Got it!" Hong Yu answered and put away half of the banknote. ……
