Chapter 60: It's hard to get home
"Teacher Zhan, why do I feel a little unreliable."
Ao Jing put on the latest coat that was said to have been brought back from the Falklands, and at the request of the old man, he permed his hair with a small curl.
She is pretty herself, and it is not at all inconsistent to dress up like this, pretending to be the granddaughter of Mr. Zhan.
However, she still remembered her true identity and deliberately feigned some uneasiness.
Teacher Zhan comforted her and told her not to panic, saying that with him with her protection, she would definitely be fine.
Ao Jing sighed softly, grabbing Xiao Kun's bag with ten fingers, looking still very nervous.
"They're here, you can relax."
Ao Jing glanced up at the door of the restaurant, coughed lightly, and then put on a small face.
"Grandpa, isn't that friend of yours here yet? I made an appointment to hang out tonight. ”
Ao Jing lied to Mr. Zhan who approached, with a bit of coquettish and willful temperament.
"Qin Jing is obedient, don't ask Mr. Wang to see your jokes." Old Mr. Zhan scolded with a smile, and then turned his head to look at the three people who came in with him, "Eat first, and we'll talk about it after eating." ”
The man surnamed Wang looked at Teacher Zhan and Ao Jing for a while, a little vigilant, "Who are these two?" ”
"Oh, this is my granddaughter Qinqing, this is my nephew, occasionally doing something for me."
Mr. Zhan patted Mr. Wang on the shoulder and motioned for him to sit down and talk.
"Don't underestimate my granddaughter, she specializes in these in college, so I asked her to help take a look."
That Mr. Wang's eyes flashed, and he laughed twice without speaking.
It was the first time that Ao Jing found out that he actually had a hidden drama attribute.
Throughout the dinner, she rejuvenated the temperament of the eldest lady. Those people are obviously fossil dealers, and for this kind of person, Ao Jing does not save face at all.
"Grandpa, these friends of yours treat you as a Kaizi." She shrugged her nose coquettishly, her eyes revealing a hint of disdain, "Although these are real fossils, they are just like that, they have no value at all." If you are a lover of paleontology, you can collect it and play it yourself, but grandpa, your status, if you open your mouth, a lot of people will take the initiative to send these to you for enjoyment, and you can buy them in their hands? ”
She wiped her mouth and threw the napkin on the table, "I think they only have these unpopular goods, grandpa, don't believe them because they say it." I made an appointment to go and left first. ”
She got up and took her bag and left the hotel, and when she went out, she clearly felt that someone was watching her secretly.
Ao Jing is not the daughter of a big family in this life, nor in the previous life. But anyway, she also graduated from the top ten universities in the world, and studied all the way to the doctorate, and was bombarded with all kinds of information in the new world, plus she has the strength and ability herself, and it is not difficult to pretend to be a lady in the eighties.
Called a rickshaw to leave, and after walking through two intersections, Ao Jing got out of the car, went into a commissary, and called another car to leave after coming out.
After three turns, she returned to the other side of the street where she had started. And at this time, her dress and clothes are not the same as before.
It didn't take long for Mr. Zhan to come out with the man surnamed Wang, and after parting at the door, Mr. Zhan took Teacher Zhan to take the first step, and several other people watched them leave.
After another ten minutes or so, two black-clothed men sitting in a small booth nearby approached Mr. Wang, and after saying a few words, they left in the other direction.
Ao Jing silently watched them walk without seeing anyone, and then crossed the road and entered the private room of the snack shop that he had made an appointment with.
In the private room, Mr. Zhan and Teacher Zhan, who had already left, and another man and a woman sat at the dining table waiting for her.
"Mr. Zhan, you guessed it right, there are still people watching from the outside."
The pair of young men and women were Mr. Zhan's subordinates, and they observed Mr. Wang with Ao Jing.
"I suspect they're a scalping gang, and I don't know if they're in the fossil business or if they're all in the hands. I looked at the fossil samples they brought today, some real and some fake, about four or six points. ”
Ao Jing quickly wrote down the scientific names of the real and false fossils on a piece of paper and handed them to Mr. Zhan.
"But the real and fake fossils they took out are really not very valuable, even if we call the police, these things are not of high value, and the police will not be able to arrest them on this basis, in case there are people behind them, you may be in danger."
Old Mr. Zhan was silent, and thought for a while with his eyes half-closed, "Contact them again, it's best to let them come up with more precious fossils, otherwise I will give up this transaction first." ”
Ao Jing didn't say much, although she didn't quite understand why Mr. Zhan wanted to get involved with that gang of fossil dealers, but as far as she was concerned, she didn't want to see the precious protected fossils go overseas.
Ao Jing was only invited to help identify the authenticity, and also trained them on how to identify fossils.
"Although you can now identify some ordinary fossils, the means of counterfeiting are also constantly improving, so when you encounter fossils that you are not familiar with and have relatively high value, you must be cautious and cautious."
It was Chinese New Year's Eve soon, Ao Qin had to rush back to join the New Year with her eldest brother, and under the arrangement of Mr. Zhan, she went directly to Teacher Zhan's village, and then changed her face and returned to the town.
Mr. Zhan's own granddaughter is also there, but she doesn't know how to identify fossils, she is good at jewelry design and production.
Ao Jing and the girl hit it off at first sight, although the two seem to have a big difference in social status, but there are fewer drinks for a thousand confidants, and the two have something in common in terms of aesthetics and judgment of popularity. After learning that Ao Jing opened the pearl oyster and wanted to make two hairpins and a pearl pendant, the girl took the initiative to take the matter.
Back in town, the days were quiet again.
On the 29th day of the lunar month, the unit officially began to have a holiday, and it was not until the fourth day of the new year that work resumed.
Ao Hai also rushed back on the night of the 29th, but the mood didn't seem quite right.
"Are you saying that Sister Lan Lan's family doesn't want her to go back?"
"No, she didn't even have a place to live when she got home. I heard from her neighbor's aunt that she would set up two benches in front of the kitchen every night as a bed, and she would have to get up in the morning before dawn to make room. ”
Although their seaside town is not as prosperous as the big city, they can live in a lot of places, and no matter how aggrieved they are, they will not bury people like that.
"Also, I don't know who passed it on, saying that your sister Lan was transferred back because she couldn't stay here because of her style problems, and the people around her unit and home were very indifferent to her, and some people gossiped about her behind her back."
Ao Jing thought about it for a while, and couldn't figure out who was in the same place as her hometown in the department where Lan Lan worked before.
Of course, it may not be done by someone from the same department, after all, almost everyone in the town and the surrounding fishing villages knew about Lan Lan's encounter with the gangsters.
"It's going to be difficult. What about Sister Lan's family? What do they say? ”
Ao Hai's face sank, and he smashed the table with an uncontrollable fist.
