Qin Xiaoming's study is not big, but it is very tidy, and on the west and north walls, there are two groups of large bookcases that are one person high, which are full of all kinds of books, from the twenty-four histories to the leader's anthology.

On the wide writing desk, there are bonsai and a few small handicrafts, which look very beautiful, and on the opposite wall, there is a couplet hanging, which is written in cursive: "Talk about borrowing drawings to make tired eyes, only study Zhu Mo as a green mountain." ”

When the two chatted, Zhou Jing's eyes kept falling on this character, and he always felt that this calligraphy work was free and easy with his surname, but his pen was strong, revealing a vigorous momentum, and in between chats, he pointed to the couplet and praised: "Director Qin, it's really a good penmanship." ”

Qin Xiaoming smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said proudly: "Director Zhou, your eyesight is indeed extraordinary, to tell you the truth, this room full of books is not as precious as this couplet, but the guests in the past have never seen it." ”

Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, puzzled by what he meant, and asked with a smile: "What, isn't this painting Director Qin's ink treasure?" ”

Qin Xiaoming waved his hand, put down the cup, and said with a smile: "No, this calligraphy is a masterpiece of a famous artist, but it is a pity that it has not been paid, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be worthy of a thousand words." ”

Zhou Jing became interested and said curiously: "Which calligrapher's work is it?" ”

"Guan Lao." Qin Xiaoming leaned over and explained softly: "Guan Lao is a Taishan Beidou-level figure in the Chinese painting world, and he is also a master of the Lingnan School of painting. ”

Zhou Jing stood up, walked to the wall, looked at it silently for a long time, and nodded: "Guan Lao's name, I have also heard of it, the painting "The Mountains and Rivers are So Beautiful" that he cooperated with Fu Lao, but there are several national treasures, and he can get his ink treasure, Director Qin is really powerful." ”

Qin Xiaoming sighed, got up and walked to Zhou Jing's side, and whispered: "Director Zhou, you misunderstood, although this character is the work of Guan Lao, it is not a collection of me to ask for it, but a collection of a teacher from Jianghai University. ”

Zhou Jing was slightly stunned, then said with a smile: "Director Qin, you are really amazing, you actually got two treasures from the teacher!" ”

Qin Xiaoming nodded with a smile, and said with emotion: "It's a pity that I didn't listen to the old man's advice and stayed at Jianghai University to teach, but insisted on going his own way and returning to Qingyang to develop, so that nothing has been achieved now, and every time I go back to my parents' house with Xiuzhen to visit relatives, I feel shameless." ”

Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "Director Qin is too modest, your current achievements have made many people envious." ”

Qin Xiaoming sighed, shook his head and said: "Director Zhou, you don't know much about the situation, I just have the scenery on the surface, but I don't have ambition inside, the commission is not big, but the wind is high and the waves are urgent, I have been splashing in the water for so many years, I can't swim to the shore, and now I am a little discouraged." ”

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and said softly: "That's not necessary, with Director Qin's knowledge and ability, I believe that sooner or later I will be appreciated by the leaders and make progress again, it's only a matter of time." ”

Qin Xiaoming hurriedly waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Borrow my brother's auspicious words, but speaking of which, I am really envious, your Director Zhou is not a hit, it is a blockbuster, please help me in the future." ”

Zhou Jing smiled knowingly, nodded and said, "Certainly, everyone is not an outsider, so naturally we have to take care of each other." ”

Qin Xiaoming sighed lightly, pointed to the couplet and said: "Director Zhou, although it is the first time for the two of us to meet, we have a speculative chat, if you like this painting, you can take it later, as a meeting gift for my brother." ”

Zhou Jing shook his head with a smile, and said softly: "That's not possible, a gentleman doesn't win people's love, I have received Director Qin's wishes, and I can't ask for words." ”

Qin Xiaoming was also a little reluctant, so he smiled politely, pulled out a book from the shelf, changed the topic, and talked with Zhou Jing about Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, he had a lot of research on Qing history, and when the conversation box was opened, he talked endlessly, and many insights made Zhou Jing feel refreshing and extremely admired.

Half an hour later, Zheng Xiuzhen knocked on the door and came in, saying that the food had been put on the table, the two left the study and came to the living room, but saw that the table was already full of sumptuous dishes.

Zhou Jing was given the upper seat, Qin Xiaoming took out the drunkard's wine, poured three glasses of liquor, but handed one cup to his wife, and asked her to accompany her, Qin Xiaoqian picked up the chopsticks, pinched a few prawns, threw them on the plate in front of Zhou Jing, and then poured a glass of juice.

The four of them raised their glasses and touched them, Qin Xiaoming took a big sip and said with a smile: "Wuyang didn't come over, he has a good amount of wine, and he should be able to accompany Director Zhou." ”

Qin Xiaoqian sighed and said stupidly: "Wuyang is getting busier and busier now, and he doesn't care about his family much. ”

Qin Xiaoming smiled faintly and said disapprerovingly: "He was not busy to the point, he offended all the people in the unit, if he hadn't solved the case, he would have been taken down a long time ago." ”

Qin Xiaoqian snorted, lowered her head and took a bite of food, and said softly: "Wuyang said that the Liu Bureau of the City Bureau still takes him very seriously, and it is not easy for those people to bring him down." ”

Qin Xiaoming frowned and sighed: "That's using him as a gunman, he doesn't know how to restrain himself, he knows that he rushes forward, and then bullets come from all directions, see how he ends?" ”

Qin Xiaoqian listened silently, drank the juice in the cup, poured some liquor, shook her head and said: "Forget it, second brother, don't mention this, it's useless to talk too much, Wu Yang's ears are hard, he never listens to what we say." ”

Qin Xiaoming nodded, lifted the cup again, turned his head to look at Zhou Jing, and said with a smile: "Director Zhou, come, let's meet again, it's still the same sentence, I am happy that you can come to the door today, I must drink a few more glasses." ”

Zhou Jing hurriedly picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Director Qin, it's better to call me Xiaojing at home, I, Sister Qin, and Team Zhang are all very good friends, according to the rules, I should also call you second brother." ”

When Qin Xiaoming heard this, he was extremely happy, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, I can see that Director Zhou is also a lover, you are a friend, I must have made it, come, let's have a toast!" ”

The two of them touched the cups with a 'ding' sound, and they both drank it all.

Zheng Xiuzhen took a sip, then asked with a smile: "Xiaojing, which school did you study in junior high school?" ”

Zhou Jing put down the cup and said with a smile: "It's in the second middle school in the city." ”

Zheng Xiuzhen sighed and complimented euphemistically: "It's a pity, I have taught so many students, but none of them can be as powerful as Xiaojing, at a young age, he has become an important leader of the unit, and he will really have a bright future in the future." ”

Zhou Jing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be it, this time it's just good luck, I went out to meet a noble person and did a little thing." ”

Zheng Xiuzhen pursed her lips and smiled, pushed Qin Xiaoming with her hand, and said beautifully: "Xiaoming, we also met a noble person this time, Xiaojing has already greeted Mr. Wei of Jinghu Group, Mr. Wei agreed, and said that he would mention your matter with the city leaders when he found time." ”

Qin Xiaoming hurriedly picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Xiaojing, with your help this time, I can finally see the light, come, let's have a drink!" ”

Zhou Jinghan nodded with a smile, touched another glass with him, took a bite of food with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "This wine is a little anxious." ”

Qin Xiaoqian smiled, poured him full of wine, and said gently: "It's okay, it's rare to be happy, even if you drink more with your second brother, if you are very drunk, I will ask Wuyang to drive you back." ”

"Okay, then don't get drunk and don't go home!" Zhou Jingjing nodded, picked up the cup, and said with a smile: "Director Qin, Teacher Zheng, thank you for your hospitality, I will toast you two for a glass." ”

Qin Xiaoming and Zheng Xiuzhen looked at each other and smiled, both picked up the cups, touched them with Zhou Jing, and drank them all.

Zheng Xiuzhen's face was red and bright, like a ripe apple, so she picked up the interesting things that happened in the school, giggled and talked about it, and adjusted the atmosphere on the wine table very well.

Unconsciously, the four of them drank two bottles of liquor, all of them were a little drunk, and after removing the table, they chatted on the sofa.

Qin Xiaoqian washed the fruit and brought it up, walked to the window, picked up the mobile phone, dialed the number, and called Zhang Wuyang, but the mobile phone rang twice, and was hung up, and when she called again, it was already turned off.

She was angry and secretly suspicious, so she called the city bureau again, and when she went to the duty room, the person who answered the phone said that Team Zhang said that there was something wrong in the afternoon and went home from work early, Qin Xiaoqian hung up the phone, went straight to the bedroom, and sat alone on the edge of the bed and was angry.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Wuyang called over, only saying that he was drinking with friends outside, and he would come over later, Qin Xiaoqian listened attentively, and sure enough, he heard someone next to him shouting and drinking, and his mood was relaxed, so he asked him to come and pick up people after he dispersed.

Back in the living room, Zheng Xiuzhen played poker, and the four of them began to play upgrades, Zhou Jing and Qin Xiaoqian cooperated very well, won a few in a row, and when the game was lively, Qin Xiaoqian answered the phone and said that Wuyang had arrived and was waiting downstairs.

Qin Xiaoming frowned, but didn't say anything, just shook Zhou Jing's hand, greeted him, and sent him to the door, when he was about to go out, Zheng Xiuzhen came with a white plastic bag, handed it to Zhou Jing, and said with a smile: "Xiaojing, these two boxes of tea are a gift from your sister-in-law, thank you for your help, you will come often in the future." ”

"Teacher Zheng, you are too polite." Zhou Jing excused himself, and saw that she was resolute, so he had no choice but to take it, and went downstairs with Qin Xiaoqian, and saw Zhang Wuyang standing next to the police car, frowning and smoking, he went over to say hello, got into the police car, and sat in the back seat.

Qin Xiaoqian called Zhang Wuyang to the side, scolded him in a low voice, and also got into the car, all the way, she tightened her pretty face tightly, and she didn't say a word, obviously, she was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Wuyang's refusal to go upstairs.

Back home, Zhou Jing entered the living room, took out the tea leaves, and put them on the coffee table, and suddenly felt a little strange, these two boxes of tea are the same brand, but the weight is very different.

He opened one of the boxes and saw that there was nothing unusual, but when he opened the second box, he found that it was filled with brand-new banknotes, and he took it out and counted it, and it was 10,000 yuan.

"You can't take this money!" Zhou Jing frowned, packed the money, went to take a bath, went naked, entered the bedroom in the dark, got into the fragrant quilt, and said with a wicked smile: "Beauty, I'm back!" ”
