Chapter XXXVIII
Fang Qiu was dressed in a gray robe, leaning lazily on a chair to discuss business with the guests opposite, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Qingwan going up the stairs.
Fang Qiu couldn't help but smile, and got up to greet him after leaving the guest, "Little junior sister is here, but what does the teacher command?" ”
Lin Qingwan's footsteps paused slightly, and said with a standard smile on her face: "I was passing by here, so I came up to see Senior Brother, my grandfather didn't know that I was coming." ”
Fang Qiu exhaled, "I thought the teacher asked you to get that Fang Duan inkstone, I promised to send it to the teacher last time, but I have been busy, and I can't spare time until now." ”
The eyes of the sitting guests lit up, and they hurriedly got up and asked, "Boss Fang, there is still a duanyan here?" ”
Fang Qiu turned his back to the guest and glanced at Lin Qingwan, then turned around dignified and said with a light smile: "There is one party, but it has been sent out, what does Mr. Huang think of the celadon he saw just now?" ”
Mr. Huang struggled and said, "It's good, but my elder prefers pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and ......."
He looked at Lin Qingwan and said apologetically, "I don't know if Miss is willing to cut her love?" ”
Lin Qingwan nodded very easily and said, "That's Senior Brother's thing, naturally Senior Brother is in charge." I don't think my grandfather would have objected. ”
Lin Qingwan should have accepted it so easily, but it made Mr. Huang uncertain and didn't dare to buy it.
Seeing that his head was retracted again, Fang Qiu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and said, "That's not good, I promised the teacher to give him away, how can I sell people halfway?" ”
Lin Qingwan had already turned around and went to the other side, staring at the things on the Bogu shelf, and her ears vaguely heard Mr. Huang ask who this teacher was.
Then Fang Qiu proudly reported Lin Su's name.
Lin Qingwan shook her head and smiled, seeing that there was an extra pair of porcelain plates on the Bogu shelf, she couldn't help but carefully pick them up and watch.
Over there, Fang Qiu had already patted Mr. Huang, who was paying the money quickly, and said: "Mr. Huang, I have been open for seven or eight years, the store is here, and you inquire outside, who doesn't know that my Fang Qiu is a disciple of Mr. Lin, I am considered unproductive among my brothers and sisters, but I will not do this kind of deception." The things in my store are all things that I judged to be genuine, and there are really fakes, so I also hit the eye, and I didn't need customers to mention it, I smashed the things first. ”
Mr. Huang walked away with the easy-to-buy inkstone.
Fang Qiu stood at the door and watched his car leave, then he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to his buddy, "Make a pot of tea and send it up." ”
As soon as Fang Qiu went upstairs, he saw Lin Qingwan leaning on the side of the Bogu shelf, looking at him with a smile and saying, "Yo, senior brother is back?" ”
Fang Qiu smiled bitterly and said, "Qingwan, don't make fun of Uncle Fang, I have no choice but to do it, and didn't you toss us to call you junior sister at the beginning?" ”
Regarding her black history, Lin Qingwan avoided talking about it, and changed the topic and asked, "Why did you do this kind of fooling people?" ”
"There's no way around it, it's hard to do business now, there are a bunch of fakes outside, but the customers believe it, but it's those of us who sell the real thing, and we make it look like we sell fakes." Fang Qiu sighed, "It's not easy to do it now." ”
Lin Qingwan couldn't help laughing, "Uncle Fang is crying poor with me?" ”
"That's not it," Fang Qiu said reservedly, "Although I make a small profit, I still make some money." ”
Lin Qingwan believes that he is strange, she has been in this circle since she was a child, although her grandfather never poured things, but he gave many people a palm, Lin Qingwan naturally knew a lot of inside information.
These people, not to mention those who sell fakes, are the real ones, and they also eat them for three years as soon as they open.
The guy brought the tea, and Fang Qiu gave Lin Qingwan a kung fu tea, and asked with a smile, "Why do you have time to come to me today?" Short of pocket money? ”
Occasionally, Lin Qingwan would come to him to find a temporary job when he was short of money, or give him a palm to see something, and sometimes if he could meet an acquaintance to exchange things, he would also invite her to palm his eyes, and he would make money as soon as he came and went.
It's not much, but it's enough for her as a student girl.
Lin Qingwan put down the teacup, scratched her fingers on the wall of the cup, and said with a smile: "Uncle Fang, I'm about to graduate." ”
Fang Qiu suddenly said, "You're about to graduate?" ”
He reached out and touched his face, and sighed: "I feel a year older, the years are really a pig-killing knife." ”
Lin Qingwan twitched the corners of her mouth, but still couldn't hold back, "Pig, are you okay?" ”
Fang Qiu was not annoyed, he laughed, and the two brothers patted Lin Qingwan's shoulder and said, "This is like you, how do I look so awkward about such an old-fashioned appearance, I want you to beat the invincible opponents in the school back then......"
Lin Qingwan lifted her eyelids and looked at him, "Uncle Fang." ”
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about that history, you said you came to me for something."
"I want you to help me get a job."
Fang Qiu almost squirted out tea, and asked with wide eyes in surprise, "Do you still need me to find you a job?" ”
"I want to have free time, be decent, and have a job that my grandfather feels stable."
Fang Qiu rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think of the big shopkeeper in our store?" ”
"You're the boss." So do you think my grandfather will say yes?
Fang Qiu was deflated, too, his whole person was a joke in Lin Su.
He thought about it seriously, and finally said: "If you want to talk about freedom, there is no one in the whole circle who is more free than the fallen master, but you have little money, you must have to suffer in the early stage, you are a girl's family, and you don't want to be rich and expensive, there is no need." In addition to the bad grandfather, that is to be a consultant for people. ”
Fang Qiu said this and smiled, "You don't have to follow one person fixedly, you are so angry, your senior brother and I know a lot of bosses, I will introduce you to a few people with acceptable character when I go back, you make a few orders, your reputation is out, and there will be more people who come to invite you in the future." ”
Lin Qingwan nodded at the table and said, "Unstable." ”
"This is easy, you can find a museum to be named, it doesn't occupy the establishment, and you don't need a salary, you can still make a big deal in the event of a big event, with the reputation of the teacher in the circle, such a job is not difficult to find."
Seeing Lin Qingwan's pale expression, he knew that she was unwilling to use Lin Su's name, Fang Qiu paused and said, "It's okay if you don't fight the teacher's name, I'll find it for you when I go back." ”
Lin Qingwan curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Then thank you Uncle Fang." ”
Fang Qiu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I prefer you to call me Senior Brother now." ”
Lin Qingwan smiled silently.
Fang Qiu felt infinite sadness.
He was only twenty when he studied with the teacher, and when he was young and vigorous, he felt that he was already an adult, and when he met Lin Qingwan, who was like a hairy boy, even if the two were eight years apart, he had to use his identity to suppress each other.
So he forced the other party to call him uncle.
The two have been fighting wits and courage for many years, and now Fang Qiu feels the cruelty of the years, and he can't wait for the three-year-old doll to call himself his brother, so that he can be called younger.
It's a pity that after thirteen years, Lin Qingwan is getting deeper and deeper, but he is still standing still, and he can't fight her anymore in this regard.
Lin Su is a master of Chinese literature, and most of the students he has taught are in the education circle and publishing, and there are many people who participate in business and politics, but he is really the only one like Fang Qiu who crosses disciplines into the field of archaeological collections.
But Lin Su is a famous collector, and his calligraphy and paintings are now in the ranks of other people's collections, so he is very famous in the circle.
Lin Qingwan's study of history was also influenced by him.
But perhaps due to the influence of previous experiences, Lin Su did not want to have deep friendships with people in the circle, so if Lin Qingwan mixed in this circle, Lin Su would give her very limited help.
Originally, Lin Qingwan didn't need Lin Su's help, but now she has a big heart, and she has offended the museum in the capital and cut off a back road, so she came to find Fang Qiu.
When it comes to contacts in the circle, Fang Qiu is stronger than Lin Su, after all, he is in this kind of business.
"Then it's decided, I'll see if there is a suitable boss in the past two days, let you make two orders first, and then take it as a resume, so I can mention the name to others."
Lin Qingwan is no problem.
After walking around in his shop, he asked, "I want to repair a tube of jade pens, you have tools here, I don't have all there, I will borrow some from you." ”
Fang Qiu's eyes lit up, he was well-informed, he had heard about the incident in the Beijing Museum, he looked at Lin Qingwan suspiciously and asked, "The fake ...... in the Beijing Museum?"
Lin Qingwan smiled silently.
Fang Qiu gave him a thumbs up, "No wonder you have Professor Chen, a teacher, but you still want to come to me, you have offended the big guy." ”
