Although there is no such thing as retribution in this world, it is not certain, but it is better not to chew your tongue behind your back.Mao Qiushi had just complained in front of Liu Qifeng two days ago that Li Xiaoning had stomach bleeding from drinking, and it happened to him.

In fact, Mao Qiushi's drinking capacity is still good, and his body is considered strong, but when he went out with Liu Qifeng to socialize that day, he ate authentic Sichuan cuisine. He didn't eat something beforehand to upset his stomach. Qifeng showed himself in front of him, but he drank too much and was in a hurry, he sprayed a table full of blood on the spot, and was sent directly to the hospital.

As a result, Liu Qifeng was very unhappy. First of all, this incident made him feel very embarrassed. Secondly, he thought that Mao Qiushi's work ability was not good. Drinking is also an important job of a secretary.In addition, Mao Qiushi was assigned to him by Duan Yonghong, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee Office. He didn't trust him very much, and now he wants to take the opportunity to replace him.

But firstly, Liu Qifeng didn't have his own team in Binhai City, and secondly, Mao Qiushi was a deputy department-level cadre, so he couldn't just change it, so Liu Qifeng simply let Mao Qiushi lie in the hospital.In a grand manner, Li Xiaoning was transferred to act as a temporary secretary in front of him.Originally, Liu Qifeng was the head of a sub-provincial city, and his secretary had to be at least a deputy director. Li Xiaoning was not qualified anyway, but a "temporary" title blocked all the mouths of the crowd.

He said it was temporary, but Liu Qifeng didn't use Li Xiaoning as a temporary worker in his heart. Especially with Mao Qiushi's farce as a comparison, he felt that Li Xiaoning was the qualified secretary he needed most. To be on the safe side, he still needs to continue to investigate.

On this day, Liu Qifeng suddenly called Li Xiaoning into his office and asked, "Xiao Li, do you know where I can buy good antiques in Binhai City?"

Li Xiaoning picked up Liu Qifeng's teacup to refill water, and said with a smile: "Sir, this antique is really not easy to deal with. Generally, it is not sold, but it is sold, like auction houses, the price is also very expensive .It’s possible to be lucky enough to catch a leak on the Antique Street, but the requirements for eyesight are particularly high.”

"Oh?" Liu Qifeng heard Li Xiaoning's subtext, and asked with a smile, "How is your eyesight?"

Li Xiaoning put the teacup filled with water back into Liu Qifeng's hand, and said with a smile: "When I was in college in Yanjing, I used to go to Liulichang whenever I was free. My eyesight is not very good, but ordinary cheating is fine." You can see it."

"Okay, then let's go to the Antique Street now and see if we can find a big leak, haha!" Li Xiaoning's interest was aroused by Liu Qifeng, and he stood up from the boss chair, ready to leave.

Li Xiaoning was not in a hurry, but said with a smirk: "Chief, you can go, but we have to make an agreement."

Liu Qifeng pointed at Li Xiaoning with his finger, and said, "You boy, you have a lot of tricks. Let's hear it, why are there three chapters?"

"This is number one. You definitely can't drive the No. [-] car of the Municipal Committee, otherwise everyone will know that you went down to inspect the work, and you won't be able to find anything." Li Xiaoning said with a smile.

"That's no problem." Liu Qifeng agreed without thinking, "Let's find a car wherever we want, and Xiao Tang won't bring it with us, so you can drive it. By the way, do you have a driver's license?"

"I took the test when I was in college, and I still have the old B card. I can drive except for buses!" Li Xiaoning took out his wallet and flashed his driver's license and said.

"That's fine." Liu Qifeng nodded and said, "Tell me what those two are?"

"Secondly, it's also simple." Li Xiaoning continued, "Since you're shopping for things, your expectations should not be too high, Chief. If you're unlucky, you'll have to go through the entire Antique Street without seeing a real thing."

"That's okay, I'll just take half a day's leisure away." Liu Qifeng subconsciously became elegant again.

"As for the third point." Li Xiaoning pondered for a while and said, "When you encounter something you are interested in, you can't make a sound, chief, I have to bargain."

"This is even more of a problem." Liu Qifeng said with a laugh, "Xiao Li, don't worry. I will never command an expert."

"That's good. Chief, you wait here for a while. I'll go to the reception to borrow a car." Li Xiaoning said with a smile. It's hard to hold back.

On the way, Liu Qifeng told Li Xiaoning why he suddenly wanted to buy antiques.It turned out that three of Liu Qifeng's college classmates were coming to Binhai for vacation, and one of them was his old monitor with whom he had a very good relationship and slept in bunk beds in college.Not only did the two play together, they took up seats for each other in the evening self-study, and helped each other cook. Liu Qifeng also wrote a love letter for the old squad leader. The old squad leader's current wife relied on the love letter written by Liu Qifeng to catch up with her. of.The old squad leader didn't have any other hobbies. His favorite thing was collecting antiques, so he had to choose something that he could sell, and of course it had to be genuine.

Li Xiaoning knew that the reason why Liu Qifeng put so much effort into preparing gifts himself was not only because of his friendship with classmates, but the more important reason was that Liu Qifeng's old squad leader must be in a high position now.

While driving, Li Xiaoning followed Liu Qifeng's tone and said: "In fact, the most attractive part of antiques lies in the existence of fakes and fakes. If everything is real, there will be no connoisseurs or collectors." .Because in that case, all you need is to have more money than anyone else. How good it is now, although it is possible to spend a lot of money to buy medicines, but it is also possible to miss out and spend a small amount of money to find real products and high-quality goods.”

"Your idea is very novel." Liu Qifeng carefully licked Li Xiaoning's words.

When they arrived at the Antique Street, the two of them went back and forth twice, let alone someone like Li Xiaoning who frequented the antique market, even Liu Qifeng didn't see anything eye-catching. Disappointed, the two prepared to leave.

At this moment, an old man with a southern accent came up, stepped half a step ahead of Liu Qifeng, followed him half-backed, and said, "The boss is a wealthy man, and ordinary people don't like him. I have a few good things in my hand, go and have a look?"

Liu Qifeng looked back at Li Xiaoning, what does that mean?going or not?Li Xiaoning encountered this kind of situation in Liulichang when he was in college. Knowing that they were all old liars, he said, "Mr. Liu, if you don't leave, you will be late for the afternoon meeting."

The old man immediately realized that Li Xiaoning was the real master, and hurriedly turned to Li Xiaoning and said, "Boss, I see that you are a connoisseur, do yourself a favor, go over and have a look, not far away, in the hotel at the intersection, I It is something passed down from the ancestors, and I feel distressed if I sell it to others."

Li Xiaoning interrupted him with a wave of his hand. He had heard such high-profile talk a lot in Yanjing Liulichang, so he didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but the car happened to be parked at the intersection, so it wouldn't take too much trouble to stop by to take a look, so he said : "Don't say these are useless, take us to have a look."

"Okay. The two bosses come with me." The old man suddenly smiled.

The hotel where the old man stayed was the kind of small roadside shop. Apart from the bed and a table, there was no other extra furniture in the room.When they came in, they found a young man lying shirtless on one of the beds, snoring loudly.

Without further ado, the old man went up and slapped the young man, "You bastard, didn't you tell you to look at things carefully? Why did you fall asleep again? What if you lose your baby?"

Seeing the old man beating his son mercilessly, Liu Qifeng felt eager. If it wasn't a real treasure, why should the old man be so careful?However, Li Xiaoning knew that these were actually tricks used by these old liars, but he didn't say anything, but wanted to see what they could come up with.

After the old man beat his son up, he kicked his buttocks and rummaged through things under the bed, and then carefully dragged out a cardboard box. The gaps in the box were filled with waste newspapers and horse manure paper.

The old man slowly opened the carton, took out an object that was more than one foot high and wrapped in a blanket, carefully carried it, and stuffed it into Liu Qifeng's arms.

Just as Liu Qifeng was about to reach out to pick it up, Li Xiaoning had already grabbed him and dodged far away.Then he sneered and said: "Don't try to blackmail us, we are not beginners." He was talking about a rule in the antique business, that is, "Jade is not handy", that is, the two parties will not directly hand over jade to each other. Instead, one party puts down the jade first, and the other picks it up again.This is mainly to prevent mistakes during the handover process, and "no hand" can clearly distinguish the responsibilities of both parties, and the same is true for fragile items such as porcelain.

Many people who don't know the rules will reach out their hands rough when they see the seller handing over something. As a result, when you reach out, the person delivering the item will deliberately let go of the hand, and then there is a "snap", and you can't tell.

The old man smiled "honestly", showing his yellow teeth, turned around, put the things on the table, and then carefully lifted the blanket, revealing the true colors of the objects inside.

Seeing that the thing was indeed stable, Li Xiaoning stretched out his hand and asked Liu Qifeng to come over and look at it slowly.

When Liu Qifeng saw the thing clearly, his eyes immediately became eager, but he was an old official after all, and he was good at concealing the true thoughts in his heart. After a little excitement in his heart, he immediately calmed down again, and looked back indifferently. Look at Li Xiaoning.

When Li Xiaoning walked up to him, his heart skipped a beat. Of course, his face was as calm as ever, and no one could see what was going on in his heart.

On the table is a gourd bottle with a flat belly and ribbon ears - blue and white porcelain.
