The time for a stick of incense had passed, and the food on the table had been ransacked, leaving only a few plates with a few drops of soup from the dishes.

Zheng Changkong and Jiang Shaohua both leaned back on their chairs, stroking their bulging stomachs, and constantly reminiscing about the delicious food just now.

Zheng Lin made a total of seven dishes and a soup, among which the two of them were the most impressive ones were Nasu Dongpo and the red stewed pork knuckle.

The pork knuckle just took a bite, and gave him two feelings that it was a word, tender! It was completely different from what he usually eats, although it was usually delicious, but the fat of the white flowers on it always brought a strong greasy taste, so that a lot of people were not interested in it, but this pork knuckle made by Zheng Lin did not have any greasy taste at all, on the contrary, when eating, there was a trace of astringency that made them can't help but want to taste it again.

At first, Zheng Changkong and Jiang Shaohua thought it was a Dongpo meat made of ordinary pork belly, until they put it in their mouths, it was a vegetarian meat made of tofu and winter melon, like meat but not meat, the skin of winter melon used to replace the skin of the meat is soft but with a hint of crispiness, the winter melon that acts as fat is full of soup, and the tofu that replaces the lean meat is even more delicious, the most surprising thing is that even if the thin thread that binds these things is untied, it is still close to each other when it is picked up with chopsticks, as if it was originally a piece of meat。

After a meal, Jiang Shaohua gradually got acquainted with Zheng Changkong and Zheng Lin and began to talk happily. began to talk to Zheng Changkong about the interesting things he saw today, which also included Zheng Lin's affairs.

When Zheng Changkong heard that Zheng Lin actually "fought for love and beat his rival in love", there was already an obvious frown under his hairline. immediately gave Zheng Lin enlightenment, and constantly persuaded him, don't be so anxious to fall in love, or find a way to improve your grades as soon as possible, don't waste your studies, etc.

Zheng Lin, who was educated, could only bear this lesson that did not exist, and sighed in his heart: What is this?!

Just as he was about to get rid of his brother's bitter words and return to his room to cultivate, there was a shock in his pants pocket.

【Jingle Bell - Ding】

Zheng Lin took the phone out of his pocket, and the screen showed an unfamiliar number.

......

75th Floor, Qiuyun Building, Black Lion High-rise General Council Chamber.

On the mahogany long council table, there is a lifelike statue of the Fudo Ming King, in the flame carved from jade, holding a sword in his left hand and a lock in his right hand, gritting his teeth, revealing four long fangs, giving people a majestic temperament, and people can't help but plan to worship him.

Unlike the tense atmosphere in the Blood Jade Hall, the Black Lion was much more relaxed here. Long Yu on the table is constantly swiping on the screen of his mobile phone, a woman in his fifties is munching on melon seeds, and a man in his thirties is looking at a Bible...... Everyone is doing their own thing, as if waiting for the subway.

Of the 15-seat conference tables, only 10 have arrived, while the remaining five are being hotly discussed on the 76th floor.

"You want that jade statue? I don't have any doors! This is my money, why should I give it to you?"

Long Xiangyu, who was sitting in the office chair, asked sonorously, disdainful in his heart.

Joke, I spent a lot of money to let my sister take a picture of the jade statue, in fact, you can take it away with your mouth, are you the name of the leader of the black lion as an ornament?

At this time, among the four old men standing in front of Long Xiangyu. The one who was obviously the one who spoke coughed twice, and then said in an old voice:

"Chief, you can't say that, although this is your money, but your money is still provided to you by the black lion, besides, I didn't let you give it to us, but gave it to the black lion, such a precious treasure, how can it only be monopolized by you alone!"

The person who spoke was now the second-in-command of the black lion, the horizontal knife. It can be said that he is the oldest person in the entire black market, back then. He is just an ordinary little brother under the Black Lion, but he was lucky enough to replace Long Xiangyu's father in an assassination operation against the Black Lion Gangleader, and the Black Lion Dragon's head at that time blocked a bullet, and has been used many times since then. Step by step to the top.

But Long Xiangyu didn't sell his face, for him, this kind of person who relied on a little kindness to himself and used it as his arrogant capital, he should leave early, don't wait for him to explain, everyone's face is not good-looking.

But apparently this horizontal knife did not have such an idea, and still made a desperate request to hand over the jade statue to the black lion.

"Boss, what he said is right!"

"You can't just keep it all to yourself, and let us watch it."

"I support Yokoye!"

However, the three people who came with him next to him all supported him, which was really a dog. Long Xiangyu had a headache and took turns in his temples, not knowing what to do, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

"If Yokoye wants to do this, it's not impossible. Long Xiangyu smiled coldly and said slowly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and wondered in their hearts, why did they suddenly change their hexagram at this time?

"However, I spent a lot of money to get something, I can't give it to you so easily, of course there are conditions, the specific matters will be said at the meeting later, let's all go down, don't let everyone wait. ”

After speaking, he took the brunt of the elevator and walked to the door of the elevator.

......

Shouhui Hotel

The only five-star hotel in Yangyue City, it is the first choice for leaders above the municipal level to rest and stay after inspection.

"Hello sir, what can I do for you?"

The gracious receptionist is greeting the young man in front of him. The man's face is delicate, his slightly long hair has been slightly groomed and left a pony braid on the back of his head, which looks very energetic, the clothes on his body are not expensive, but they fit very well, and the most important thing is that there is no trace of fat on the man's body, it is simply a standard clothes rack.

After years of knowledge, Huang Lei has already understood that don't look at people's clothes, some people who are very proud are not necessarily rich, they may be pretended, sometimes people wear plain and not necessarily poor, they may also be pretended, the key is to look at the temperament.

The man in front of her, although he is dressed ordinarily, but in terms of temperament, Sister Huang swears that after working here for so many years, there is absolutely no one who feels more extraordinary than the person in front of her.

"Find someone, Fulian Hall," Zheng Lin replied cleanly.

Sister Huang secretly said in her heart: Sure enough, it's not a small person!

"What is your surname, sir?"

"Exempt from your surname Zheng"

Sister Huang nodded and continued: "The owner of the Fulian Hall did say that guests would come today, please come with me. ”

After speaking, he left the front desk and walked to the corridor to guide Zheng Lin.

The promenade is dominated by red, antique, with red triangular beams on the top and wooden handrails luxurious and understated. Sister Huang took Zheng Lin to a gate, bowed and left alone.

Zheng Lin pushed open the valuable mahogany door with one hand, and what caught his eye was a Chinese-style mahogany round table with exquisite materials, as well as several matching mahogany chairs around it, there were already people in the box, two men and a woman were sitting in different directions, and when Zheng Lin pushed the door open, the eyes of the three looked at him at the same time.

Zheng Lin moved his gaze to the only woman in this box, and said playfully: "Miss He, you should remember what I told you yesterday, why did you find me the next day?"

There was a slight trace of fear in He Yunxue's eyes, but she calmed down after a while, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Mr. Zheng, I'm very sorry to bother you, in fact, I called you here, mainly because I want to introduce some business to you, I believe you should be very interested." ”

That's right, the one who called him was He Yunxue, who was from Kyoto, whose identity is still unknown, and the other man was Boss Jia, who had accompanied her in the Xinghalo antique market before, and as for the other man, who was about 40 years old, Zheng Lin didn't know him.

She kept telling herself in her heart: He Yunxue, calm down, calm down, the person in front of you didn't really kill anyone, he just didn't save him when he died, he wasn't a murderer, don't be so afraid.

Yesterday's conversation with Zheng Lin, hearing this guy talking about a person's life and death so indifferently, still had a great impact on He Yunxue, so He Yunxue didn't sleep well last night, leaving a shallow dark circle under his eyes.

"Oh, if I'm not mistaken, this gentleman is going to talk to me about business. ”

Zheng Lin looked at the person he didn't recognize, and said with a smile, speaking in a very gentle and magnetic tone, giving anyone a feeling of rain and spring breeze, and making everyone feel that Zheng Lin was a very easy-going person.

The man was not ambiguous, and after glancing at Zheng Lin, he took out a large wooden bag under his chair, and then said and then opened it.

The other three in the room all looked at the wooden box, which contained two or three translucent stones the size of a baby's fist and a slender wooden box.

Zheng Lin glanced at the contents of the box, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said: "A piece of lilac ice seed jade, it looks like it should be an old pit seed." The second is chalcedony, so there are no cracks and no impurities. As for the third ......"

Zheng Lin walked to the front of the wooden box, picked up the translucent pure green crystal and held it high above his head, looked at it carefully from the light, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he already had the answer in his heart.

"What a nice piece of emerald!"

The man looked at Zheng Lin, with a shocked expression on his face, nodded and said:

"Childe has a good eye, his surname is Yun, he is a not very famous jeweler in Kyoto, I know Miss He, and she recommended you to me, I hope you can help me make a few pieces of jewelry with these things. ”

Zheng Lin glanced at He Yunxue, and then said, "Then where did you believe that I would agree?"

"Huh?"

The man surnamed Yun looked at Zheng Lin in surprise, although before Zheng Lin came, He Yunxue had already told him that Zheng Lin might not agree to help him make it, but he didn't expect him to refuse so quickly. But if you think about it, it is indeed impossible for carvers who can make a net profit of 90 million yuan overnight to take orders casually, for them, making crafts is no longer a skill to support their families, but a hobby to make when they encounter the materials and inspiration they like, and a method to build a good relationship with the upper echelons of other fields.

"I don't know what else Mr. Zheng wants, so he is willing to help me make it. ”

The man took a deep breath, calmed the resentment in his heart, and warned himself to be calm. After all, if anyone had talked to him like this before, he might have just left.

He had seen the three pieces of jade that Zheng Lin had made in the capital, although it was only a picture given to him by He Yunxue, but he dared to guarantee that if these things were placed in Kyoto, he would ensure that the price they would auction at auction would only be high or low, so he came to the conclusion that Zheng Lin could only be deeply acquainted and could not be offended. Who knows what this 20-year-old would say at a charity gala if he became a famous sculptor in Kyoto, and what impact he might have on his business?

Zheng Lin thought for a moment, and then said, "Can you give me a shop in the center of Yangyue City? It doesn't need to be too big, it can fill a dozen or so tables." ”

Everyone was stunned, what kind of requirement is this?
