1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Xiao Liu, what do you think of this kid?" Gao Xiaoguang asked suddenly.

"Leader, I'm a little bit unsure. But I feel that Comrade Chen Tiezhu is very smart and knowledgeable." Xiao Liu said cautiously.

"Not only is he smart and knowledgeable, this kid is also very courageous." Gao Xiaoguang said with a smile.

"Pay more attention to his situation in the future. If there is nothing to do when he comes to my side, I will bring him in directly. I want to see what this kid can do."

"Okay."

Xiao Liu hurriedly responded, and was very surprised.

I really don't understand why Chen Tiezhu can enjoy such treatment from the leader. It's unique in the whole county.

Is it just because he has some connections in the province? It seems not that simple.

Chen Tiezhu, who came out of the county government, didn't know that Gao Xiaoguang had been thinking about him, and drove to Niu Er's side.

"Tiezhu, we have already started to clean up. Second brother is very concerned about it. We have to clean up inside and outside."

Liu Dayou, who came here early, ran out after seeing his car.

"Brother, I owe you a favor for this matter." Niu Eryi, who followed behind him, clasped his fists.

"You are welcome. There will be about seven or eight people tomorrow. This is the list I made. Can you prepare it? Don't worry about the ginseng. I will bring it myself." Chen Tiezhu handed over the menu he had prepared.

"These are all very simple. Just prepare one table?" Niu Er asked after taking a serious look.

Chen Tiezhu nodded, "One table is enough. It's not for dinner. It's just that some friends from the provincial capital are my brother-in-law's friends. I have to entertain them."

"No problem, no problem. Being able to entertain these distinguished guests is also what I want most for me." Niu Er said hurriedly.

"Brother, I'm glad I listened to you and told my wife in advance when I got home. Otherwise..., my family would really break up. Now I can breathe a sigh of relief." Liu Dayou said with a wry smile.

"It's just a new way of life, it's not a big deal." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Yeah, I'll listen to you anyway in the future." Liu Da nodded, and the flesh on his fat face trembled.

"Niu Er, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, it's okay." Chen Tiezhu looked at Niu Er again.

Dalong, who was listening on the side, was very angry. This kid really didn't give him any face at all, just called him "Niu Er", "Niu Er".

"Although I'm a scoundrel, I also know a little about Feng Shui. When people from Juhexuan come over, locals generally won't take action again." Niu Er said after a slight hesitation.

Chen Tiezhu smiled and nodded, "I have also considered this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called people from the provincial capital to come over, but the Zhou family is still inferior."

"Don't worry, I have my own way of auctioning, and you can also bid with confidence. If it is really won by you, whether you sell it to the Zhou family to make a connection or keep it for yourself, it has nothing to do with me."

Niu Er looked at Chen Tiezhu in surprise, not knowing why he was so confident.

Because he had vaguely heard some rumors that the Zhou family was determined to get this lightning-struck wood.

Even if this lightning-struck wood is rare, people in this circle will not offend the Zhou family because of this.

"Brother, although I know you seem to be very powerful now, otherwise you wouldn't be wearing such a neat and tidy jeep. But can't we call you second brother?"

Dalong couldn't help it and came over.

Chen Tiezhu was happy, "Xiaolong, ask him if he dares to agree if I call him second brother?"

"Dalong, I know you are doing this for my own good. I really don't dare to agree if you let him call me that." Niu Er said with a wry smile.

Such an answer confused Dalong all of a sudden, and his brain was not enough.

"Brother, can I ask you one more question, why did you choose me?" Niu Er asked.

"One is because you believe in this, after all, it is not appropriate to change the auction of this art to the official territory. The other is to put an end to the previous matter between the two of us."

"In the future, I may dig hammers again, and I am too lazy to sell them myself. When the time comes, I will send them to you, and we can save a lot of routines."

Niu Er nodded embarrassedly, "Don't worry, I will definitely not make a penny."

Liu Dayou next to him was quite curious, there is a story here.

"That's it. I'm leaving first. Let's listen to Lao Liu's advice. He has relevant reception experience. Don't be too nervous. It's not a big deal."

After saying that, Chen Tiezhu waved his hand and walked out.

"Brother, you decide how to handle it." Niu Er looked at Liu Dayou and said.

"Second brother, it's nothing. A little cleaner and quieter, I think it's almost there. "Liu Dayou said with a smile.

"And this brother, don't be unconvinced. There are only a handful of people who let my brother Tiezhu call me brother. In our county, they are Captain Jiang of the county bureau and Director Li of the town police station."

"But I think second brother doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the underworld anymore. If there is any difficulty, you can talk to Tiezhu."

Dalong was confused again. What does this mean? Second brother wants to quit the underworld? Playing the game of gold basin and retiring?

This is more surprising to him than someone telling him that a sow climbed a tree.

"Brother, you have good eyesight." Niu Er looked at Liu Dayou in surprise.

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, I'm really scared. Especially after hearing that Chen San was blocked in the house and killed, my right eyelid often twitched."

"I didn't believe this stuff before. Last time when the situation was so tense, I just listened to my old man. He looked after me at home for half a year, and nothing happened to me. "

"My old man also listened to what the fortune teller said. Do you think I should believe it? Anyway, I am really scared now. You follow me to make a living, and I have to take care of you. Even if you can't make a fortune, you can still live."

Dalong scratched his scalp. No wonder he felt that his second brother seemed to have changed these days. It turned out that there was such a thing.

Now he is a little confused. Is his second brother really not going to mix in society? How will he live in the future?

Chen Tiezhu didn't know that Niu Er had such a feeling. After leaving Niu Er, he came directly to the guesthouse.

"Brother-in-law, everything is booked. I booked two more rooms in case more people come." Han Zhenwen said with a smile.

"Yes, tomorrow is the real day. How much can be sold depends on tomorrow's hammer sale. "Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, then tell me secretly, what are you going to do tomorrow?" Han Zhenwen asked curiously.

"Come closer."

Chen Tiezhu smiled and waved.

Han Zhenwen was surprised and leaned his head closer.

"I have a secret weapon."

"What secret weapon?"

"Keep it secret."

Han Zhenwen was so angry that his face almost turned black, "Brother-in-law, I am sincere and hardworking to you, I..."

"I will take you to the county hospital to see Lao Fang the day after tomorrow."

Chen Tiezhu interrupted him.

"Yes, yes, brother-in-law is so nice." Han Zhenwen was very happy.

But he was also very puzzled in his heart, what exactly is this "secret weapon"?
