Chapter 040: Is He Your Boyfriend?
As for consignment, although it will not expose itself, it will definitely attract Sun Deguang's attention, Zhou Jian didn't want to leave a little possibility for Sun Deguang to find himself, so he said very simply: "I sold it to the Bounty Hunters Association, I hope you can keep it secret." ”
"Of course we do keep secrets, and the Bounty Hunters Guild's most important thing in trading is credibility, and in fact about 70 percent of treasure hunters sell items with confidentiality requirements. I'll take you to the appraiser. ”
Although in the United States, the law stipulates that if something is lost for more than 50 years, it is ownerless, and whoever gets it will belong to whoever owns it, but this is not necessarily the case in some other countries, such as in China, cultural relics, fossils and other things, no matter how many years they are lost, they must be found by the state. The slogan of the United States is the inviolability of private property, while the slogan of China is that the national interest is above all else.
In short, each country has different legislation in this regard, and the behavior of treasure hunters often crosses national borders, and once they find something that has been lost in some large family or some national museum, it will inevitably cause controversy, so they invariably choose to keep it secret.
In fact, this is reasonable, after all, treasure hunters will encounter all kinds of risks in the process of treasure hunting, and they will die if they are not careful, and their treasure hunting time often takes several years.
Therefore, the Bounty Hunters Association has an unwritten rule, no matter what the laws of the country where the treasure is located, if you want to get the treasure back, you have to spend money to buy it back, after all, if there are no treasure hunters, no matter how good your treasure is, it will be useless.
There are many jewelry laboratories in the Bounty Hunters Association, each appraiser has its own room, and Zhou Jianlai has one of them, and the appraisal room that receives him is a slightly balding middle-aged man.
He silently took the bag handed out by Zhou Jian, and Andy did not follow up in order to avoid suspicion.
The appraiser poured out the contents of the small cloth bag, and the shiny diamonds rolled on the table. Twenty-eight high-quality diamonds, each weighing about 5 carats, Rao was so, and the appraiser was not excited, obviously used to seeing big scenes.
He just glanced at Zhou Jian in a little surprise, he didn't expect such a young man to be able to get so many diamonds.
The appraiser retrieves the instrument, aligns it with the first diamond, and begins the grading ......
At the same time, Linda, who was drinking coffee at the Bounty Hunter Bank, dialed Chu Qingyun's phone number, "Dear Yun, long time no see." ”
"Hehe, yes, it's been almost a year since I returned to China in the blink of an eye, and that friend of mine is okay with you, and he hasn't caused any trouble?" Chu Qingyun has just finished a board of directors and is reviewing the information of some imported drugs, and the new medicine she is now producing uses a plant that is prohibited in China, and she is comparing several countries that have cultivated this plant on a large scale, deciding where to import it.
"How could he get into trouble, that friend of yours is too powerful, he must be a master-level kung fu master in your country, right?"
"Hehe, I don't know, why did he fight with people in the United States?"
"It was he who beat up an arrogant guy who was at least a D-class bounty hunter, but he was beaten like a punching bag and had no power to fight back. ”
Chu Qingyun smiled helplessly, this Zhou Jian can really cause trouble, "There is no chaos, will the beaten person give up?"
"It's too late for that person to hide, where do you dare to find trouble, speaking of which, is he your boyfriend?"
"Uh......" Chu Qingyun was embarrassed for a while, "Of course not, I asked him his age, and he was only 18 years old." ”
"What's wrong with being 18 years old, as long as you are strong, such a man is very secure, you really don't want it?"
Chu Qingyun was speechless for a while, "Linda, you don't want to pursue him, you are about to graduate from college, and if he is in school, he is just a freshman junior student." ”
"Love knows no age or borders, and it's hard to find such a strong man. ”
"Linda, you don't like him just because he's good at kung fu, do you?" Chu Qingyun felt incomprehensible.
"Can't you? I'm looking for a boyfriend who's better than me, and none of those boys in college are my opponents. And I have a very common language with him, we both like history and archaeology, although there is a little bit of a dispute over opinions. ”
Chu Qingyun patted his forehead, "But I don't think he's suitable for you." ”
"Why?"
Chu Qingyun was dumbfounded for a while, she blurted out such a sentence, it seemed that in the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to see Zhou Jian being "soaked" by Linda, this kind of psychology is very strange, just like most men don't want to see a pure and lovely little sister being pushed down by a lewd uncle in his twenties and thirties, of course, unless that man is himself.
In Chu Qingyun's heart, Zhou Jian is a shy boy who has no personnel, and his character is also good, such a pure boy is matched to Linda, a charming girl, she always feels strangely uncomfortable.
Questioned by Linda, Chu Qingyun had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Hmm...... You don't have a good personality, he should like that kind of gentle and virtuous girl. ”
"Well, it doesn't matter, if we're together, I'll try to change him, or change myself. How about it, dear cloud, won't you give me a little encouragement?"
"Okay...... Then I wish you success......" Chu Qingyun said this sentence insincerely, and almost added a sentence of "weird" in his heart.
"Chu, how can I listen to your blessings and don't seem to have any sincerity?"
"Uh...... Is there one?"
"Yes, do you like him too? It's okay, I can play fair with you. ”
Chu Qingyun almost threw down the chair, "Please, he's only eighteen years old, and I'm twenty-one!"
"What is this, love knows no age and borders, we have an old saying in the United States, called 'More/mature/wife/ensure/you/a/joyful/marriage.', if you don't chase it, you have to give it to me." ”
"Okay, okay, whatever you want. ”
After hanging up Linda's phone, Chu Qingyun's heart was a little confused, she knew that the resistance of an 18-year-old boy to a woman was too weak, especially a stunner in the world like Linda, which man could resist the temptation of the delicious food delivered to the door?
Before Linda mentioned that she wanted to pursue Zhou Jian, Chu Qingyun had never thought about how she felt about Zhou Jian, and she had only three real contacts with Zhou Jian.
When breaking into the new dungeon, Zhou Jian saved himself under the claws of the boss, but that was only in the game, and Chu Qingyun didn't feel too much. Later, Chu Qingyun made a bet with Zhou Jian and lost the bet under impossible circumstances, Chu Qingyun felt mysterious on Zhou Jian for the first time, although he was a little angry about Zhou Jian stealing into his bathroom, but he was not unacceptable. For the third time, Zhou Jian appeared in Chu Qingyun's life completely as a savior, he completed the impossible task, and in the process of completing the task, his forbearance and judgment ability also made Chu Qingyun impressed.
However, although Chu Qingyun has a good impression of Zhou Jian, she has never thought of being his girlfriend, Chu Qingyun is a very conservative girl, she will not find a boyfriend because she is lonely and wants to have fun, she wants to find a man who she can trust for life, but Zhou Jian is too young.
He was only eighteen years old, and it would take another four years for him to reach the legal age of marriage......
