super rich

"Well, I see, you can deal with it first..."

After a quick confession, Xiao Nan hung up the phone and said with a smile: "It's almost as you guessed, the blue and white porcelain in the Korean suitcase is not from the right place, and I can't produce half a piece of proof. According to my inference, it may be I bought it from the black market and planned to smuggle it back to the country, but fortunately the police blocked it in time so that he didn't let him escape, now he got the stolen goods and got them all, and he has suffered a lot!"

Chen Mingyuan nodded slightly. Due to economic and geographical factors, smuggling and black market transactions have always been rampant in Lingnan Province. Among them, tomb robbery and ancient cultural relics are rampant. Many dealers will sell unknown antiques to the local area and from all over the world. Wealthy merchants and tycoons, or directly transported to Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and other places for sale, sometimes a lot of ancient cultural relics from abroad are quietly transported ashore, and then distributed to various places by smuggling groups.

In view of this, there are many examples of Koreans buying illegal cultural relics, but he was unlucky and was caught by Chen Mingyuan. If this is going to be investigated online, he will be deported back to China in all likelihood .

"Don't worry, I'll handle this matter. I promise to deal with this pair of foreign devils and foreign slaves so that you don't lose your temper, and give you guys a good way to vent your anger." When he said these words, Xiao Nan smiled contentedly and fell into his hands. In his hands, he naturally has a lot of ways to concoct these two people, and he must teach them a lesson, otherwise he will lose face in the Lingnan elite circle.

Hearing this, Chen Mingyuan knew that the two of them were destined to suffer disaster, so he just laughed and said nothing. If this matter was to be blamed, he could only blame his translator for fanning the flames, not only making his master unable to step down, but also putting Their masters and servants are all trapped in it. As the saying goes, they are not afraid of opponents like wolves, but teammates like pigs. This sentence is absolutely true!

Xiao Nan gave a thumbs up again, and jokingly said, "Your vision is really vicious. You can see that the Korean stick is a guilty conscience. Anyway, it can be regarded as a restoration of a cultural relic for our country. I will ask the Public Security Bureau to give it to you later." You hand out a pennant."

"I can't bear the pennant. I will be satisfied if Mr. Xiao treats me to a full meal." Chen Mingyuan half-jokingly said: "You know, I haven't even had a decent meal these two days. Now The oil and water in my belly are almost drained."

"It's easy to say!" Compared to Mu Tianyu, Xiao Nan is more slick, although he is also full of arrogance, but it will not make people feel uncomfortable, "I haven't seen Mrs. Chen for two years. This is a rare trip to Jiaozhou to be caught by me. , No matter what you say, you can go back without getting caught up in the dust, Lao Zhang and I will stay in Jiaozhou for one more night tonight, and everyone will return home happily."

The few people didn't intend to go to the restaurant, so they found a quiet small room in the hotel cafe and ordered some cooked food and hot dishes.

"Young Master Chen, you came to Jiaozhou to attract business, right?" Xiao Nan took a sip of sake, obviously not aware of the news of Ye Qingxue's serious illness, and said to himself: "If that's the case, then I have to give You have poured cold water on me. When I came to Jiaozhou this time, Lao Zhang and I also stopped by to see if there are any good projects. However, now that the epidemic has disturbed us, not only the China Merchants Association has been disbanded in advance, but many foreign businessmen have also retreated. , the few merchants on my side who were almost negotiated before have said one after another in the past two days that they will observe the next situation before considering it."

Zhang Zili also looked stern, and echoed: "This hotel was full of people a few days ago, and you can almost see people negotiating wherever you go, but now everyone has evacuated as if they were fleeing. , Mr. Xiao and I decided to go back tonight."

Chen Mingyuan nodded. He had thought of these follow-up effects early on. Although the government is trying to control the panic of public opinion, the rapid spread of SARS will inevitably affect economic development!

This is a general trend, and he cannot turn the tide by himself.

"No matter how critical the situation is, we can only do our best and obey the destiny." Chen Mingyuan smiled lightly and said, "Besides, as a government official, if he can't set an example in facing difficulties, it will only make the local people and cadres more panic-stricken Otherwise, if the infectious disease does not knock down the revolutionary bastion, it will first collapse from within."

"That's reasonable! I appreciate Young Master Chen's attitude of not changing his face when the mountain collapses!" Xiao Nan raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Also, to say gloating, although Lingnan suffered, but you Dongjiang Province It’s quite peaceful, and by taking advantage of this opportunity, we may be able to attract more funds, and if there are any good projects, remember to inform the brothers.”

Of course Chen Mingyuan understood what this meant, touched a glass with him, and said with a smile: "If I can attract Mr. Xiao to invest and start a business, I would really wish for it."

After chatting and laughing for a while, taking advantage of Xiao Nan getting up to go to the bathroom, Chen Mingyuan asked, "Is everything going well in Lingnan?"

"It's not bad. There are many ways to get rich, so you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat." Zhang Zili smiled slightly: "What about you, I heard from my mother that you went to a county not long ago, are you still used to it?"

"It's not bad, there are many opportunities to do things, and you don't have to worry about not getting political achievements."

Chen Mingyuan and him looked at each other with a smile. Even though the two of them were in the same situation back then, after these two years of experience and hard work outside, the relationship between them has long been calm. After thinking about it, he said: "However, if you If you have free time, you should go home more often, Grandpa... the old man actually misses you very much."

Zhang Zili's complexion was complicated, obviously he still cared about being kicked out of the house by the old man, but he met Chen Mingyuan's sincere expression, hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "I see, I will try to go back during the Chinese New Year."

Chen Mingyuan just laughed, and was about to speak, when Xiao Nan's voice suddenly came from outside the concealed door, "Second brother! What a coincidence, you are here too."

"Xiao Nan! I haven't seen you for a long time. You are becoming more and more suave and unrestrained. I almost didn't recognize you." Another clear and pleasant baritone voice rang out in the corridor, vaguely familiar.

"No matter how chic you are, you can't be as happy as your second brother. I have heard about it not long ago. You, the temporary deputy mayor, have become a regular, and one foot is almost normal." Xiao Nan said in a slightly reproachful tone: " I was planning to go to talk to you recently, but you came to Lingnan without saying a word, and you didn't say hello to me in advance, it's so embarrassing!"

"It happened suddenly, please bear with me." The man's words were very humble and elegant, and just listening to the voice, people couldn't help feeling a little good: "The comrade who led the investment promotion team of our city suddenly fell ill. The hospital said that they might have been infected with the latest infectious disease and needed to be hospitalized for observation. As a last resort, the city committee sent me to rescue the scene overnight, first settled down and visited the colleague, and then rushed to the hotel to appease the business cadres."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"It's fine for the time being, but before all the merchants have evacuated, I have to make a few more trips to get some projects as much as possible to minimize the setbacks of this investment."

"Second brother really has the demeanor of a general, I admire it!" Xiao Nan admired: "Speaking of which, your style of doing things coincides with this friend in me." After speaking, Xiao Nan took advantage of the situation Pushing open the door, he introduced: "Just right, second brother, let me introduce you, these two are my friends, the one on the left is my business partner, Zhang Zili, and the other is his cousin, Chen Mingyuan , the cadres from Dongjiang Province..."

When Zhang Zili got up to meet him, Chen Mingyuan sighed secretly. In fact, relying on the content of the conversation between the two parties and the man's voice, he vaguely guessed the identity of the man. Sure enough, when he looked up, He saw a slender figure standing by the door.

Kou Beiyan!

This always handsome man still had a calm and calm smile on his face, as if everything was in his hands. Although there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he first saw Chen Mingyuan, he calmed down quickly, and then There was that almost invariable elegant smile on his face.

He is still as handsome as before, with straight eyebrows, but his momentum is more stable and composed.

After shaking hands with Zhang Zili and greeting Zhang Zili, Kou Beiyan walked in with a smile on her face, stretched out her hand, showing her white teeth: "Hello, I don't think I can meet you here."

"Where do we not meet in life, Mayor Kou will be safe here." Chen Mingyuan smiled, also looking like he was okay.

Xiao Nan couldn't help being surprised and said, "You guys know each other?"

"I met once before, at the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Mu family." Kou Beiyan smiled calmly and kindly. Now, think back to the first time we met in Mujiayuan, me and you, and Tian Yu, Mr. Ye... Well, I just heard about Mr. Ye, and I feel very sorry."

Mentioning Ye Qingxue, Kou Beiyan suddenly sighed deeply.

Xiao Nan and Zhang Zili's expressions changed immediately, and they asked, "What happened to Mr. Ye?"

"Don't you know?" Kou Beiyan cast a glance at Chen Mingyuan unintentionally, and said slowly, "When I visited my colleague in the hospital in the afternoon, I happened to hear that Mr. Ye also had this infectious disease and was being treated in the hospital. Well, I wanted to visit her, but was stopped by the hospital."

"Such a thing happened!" Xiao Nan and Ye Qingxue also had some friendship, and their expressions were not very good-looking.

"We can only wait for the news, and hope that the auspicious person will have his own destiny." Kou Beiyan shook his head regretfully, looked at his watch again, and said, "It's getting late, and I have made some investment appointments." The business is negotiating, and I will contact you when I am free."

"Success! You go and do your work first, and if you have any troubles, just let me know!" Xiao Nan seemed very generous.

Kou Beiyan thanked her, and before leaving the door, she looked back and said with deep meaning, "Brother Chen, I hope that in the near future, we can sit down and have a good drink and chat."

Chen Mingyuan smiled: "There will be a chance, as long as Mayor Kou doesn't think I'm boring."

Kou Beiyan let out a haha, and hurried away.

Zhang Zili frowned slightly, and while Xiao Nan was sending someone out, he leaned over and said in a low voice, "Ming Yuan, you'd better be careful with this guy, I always feel...he seems to have bad intentions for you."

Chen Mingyuan nodded silently.
