Hanliang tried to ask his position, but he didn't ask anything. This man came out of the troupe in his early years and wore a face mask when he talked and talked.
He said that Commander Joe was still there. This seems to be the answer.
A year's worth of talent files were piled up in the personnel department's bookcase. It was all gray when touched, and the edges and corners seemed to be covered with layers of hair-like protective covers. There are also disorganized records of the passage of goods, which are only divided into several large folders. If there is something, it will take a whole day to find it. The minister was a fifty-year-old middle-aged man with sparse hair, a big belly, and an overindulgent look on his face. When he saw Cheng Hanliang, he was as frightened as a guinea pig.
Cheng Hanliang just sat there, flipping through the documents, but did not speak, but covered the entire office like a big bell, and a nest of snakes and mice were unreasonably obedient.
The classification of the pass records is a meticulous task. Cheng Hanliang did not intend to wait for them, but handed over all the documents to Li Langyu and let him do it, making the best use of the new secretary resources.
One afternoon and half the night, Li Langyu stayed in his room and immersed himself in these old materials, not to mention that some of the paper was wet, and the carbon words were pasted into a marijuana ball. People are illegible. He felt he was going to need a pair of real glasses soon.
And in these dense words, Li Langyu suddenly came across the word "Feng Shangyuan". His family is in the tobacco and alcohol business, and he buys goods from overseas. Li Langyu looked down and felt a little strange. Tobacco and alcohol are all shipped from the same place, but they enter Guangzhou on different routes. The one that transports cigarettes takes seven or eight turns, and so many cigarettes are shipped every time. The box is not full, as if space is deliberately left, which increases the cost in vain. He didn't understand the twists and turns in the middle for a while, but just kept an eye on it. By the time it was all over, it was past ten o'clock in the evening.
Li Langyu wanted to take the document to Cheng Hanliang for a look, but when he was about to walk to the door, he heard someone singing a song, a very clear and gentle young male voice: "I don't praise the nobles of ten thousand households, I only envy the mandarin ducks in the green bushes. Love Yangchun, Fascinated by the smoke scene, walking with candles at night, do not let the ancients, indulge their love. Hang around in the flower country, fly to the drunken moon, lean on the green, and snuggle with red."
There were also occasional low-pitched laughter, such as the collision of gold and jade, Li Langyu knew that the laughter belonged to Cheng Hanliang. The bedroom door was ajar, and he carefully pushed in.
It really is leaning against the green.
A handsome man in a plain white robe sat on Cheng Hanliang's lap, but he looked like he was in his twenties, with a red tooth board between his fair fingers. When he saw Li Langyu, he stood up generously, without being pretentious and shy, and holding a warm and gentle style.
"Fourth Master, since you brought someone, why did you still call me here?" he whispered, looking at Cheng Hanliang with a smile of spring affection.
Cheng Hanliang first asked Li Langyu, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing, the fourth master has a rest early." Of course, he had to leave quickly when he bumped into other people's good things. Li Langyu took it to the door, and finally believed the false words of the third concubine.
"Who was that just now?" Die Sheng sat back in Cheng Hanliang's arms again.
"My son-in-law." Cheng Hanliang replied.
"Yo, opened my eyes! I thought Fourth Master, you would recruit the kind of wild man who goes into battle and kills the enemy."
Cheng Hanliang put a walnut kernel in his mouth, and said, "Na Lanlan definitely doesn't like it. Everyone has a love for beauty."
Die Sheng narrowed his eyes and joked: "But this beauty in your family is also strange."
"Tell me."
"I've already made you my son-in-law, but I still call you 'Fourth Master', not your father."
"Then do you know what's going on?" Cheng Hanliang rubbed his chin, a scouting smile on his handsome face, like a breeze in a bamboo forest blowing into people's hearts.
Diesheng's body softened, and he put it on the front: "It must be that the fourth master has done something excessive to others and made people angry."
Cheng Hanliang's brows and eyes widened, "I guess so too."
Chapter Ten
In Guangzhou in October, the autumn colors have not yet bloomed. Compared with the intrigue of vermilion in the mountains in the north, the autumn here is like a little girl who matures late.
The "Westin" hotel is located in the north of the city center. There is a VIP viewing area on the top floor, which is suitable for watching the night view, and during the day, you can overlook the Daisy Mountains in the sky. These few days, there are not many business affairs. Li Langyu and Cheng Hanliang usually stay in the hotel. Sometimes they go to the top floor, but they don't go out very often. The man in white shirt that I saw last time also came three or four times. Knowing that his name is Diesheng, he once sang opera, and his name is still his stage name at that time. The two didn't talk much when they met, but nodded.
Xiaoye clawed at the edge of the door and said that Diesheng must be the lover of the fourth master. Look at him, he is full of fat and powder from head to toe. Nine times out of ten, singing is a little bit like that.
Li Langyu threw him back to the house and said, don't talk about it all day, maybe people are just exchanging art and improving spiritual civilization.
Of course, it is also possible to raise it to the bed.
After lunch, Li Langyu returned to the room. It happened that someone came to look for Cheng Hanliang at this time. He was well-dressed and wore a pair of round-rimmed glasses, which was a bit like a master. The person who came was Wang Fujue, the owner of the "Wanxiangcui" jade shop in Guangzhou. When Li Langyu came to deliver the tea, he happened to hear them talking about gambling stones.
"Fourth Master Cheng, I have to trouble you to help me again for the 'sit down' at the autumn meeting this year."
"I don't want to this year." Cheng Hanliang took the tea from Li Langyu.
"Yes... Is the price not enough? I can add it." Wang Fujue said in surprise.
"It's not the price, it's the lack."
Wang Fujue didn't know how to deal with this, but after thinking about it, he said sincerely: "I have seen a good piece of wool this year, and I am 80% sure, the opportunity is rare, I beg the fourth master to show his face. The competition in the jade industry is fierce, small The business of the store is not as good as before, and I plan to wash my hands after participating in this year's stone gambling conference."
Wang Fujue looked at Cheng Hanliang with his sunken eye sockets, like a peasant who was kneeling and praying piously for rain, bowing his back and looking very embarrassed.
After being silent for a minute, Cheng Hanliang finally showed mercy: "That's fine, but I'm not going to sit in the line, I'll find someone else for you."
"Who?"
"Let him go." Cheng Hanliang pressed his jaw towards Li Langyu.
"This... Mr.?" Wang Fujue chose the title carefully, not knowing what to use to call this junior. Li Langyu was still out of the situation, and his face was full of astonishment. When did this topic turn to him? He never knew about the stone gambling business, and he didn't even know what they were talking about. He looked at Cheng Hanliang subconsciously, just in time to meet the other party's line of sight, and a sly smile swayed from his still waterless eyes.
"Is it too young? I can't joke about this kind of thing. It is said that the person invited over there is Qian Hu. You know who Qian Hu is..."
"Boss Wang, when have you ever seen me joking?" Cheng Hanliang said firmly, with unquestionable confidence in his words, "If I say he can, he can. If you don't believe me, keep your eyes open and wait and see."
"Xiang Yue Yuan" is the largest stone gambling venue in Guangzhou, in which the word moon and jade are homophonic, meaning auspicious and beautiful jade, expert. Every year, the Spring and Autumn Conference attracts a large number of wealthy businessmen and jade experts from inside and outside the city, and major newspapers will also make special reports. However, the people who come are like crucian carp crossing the river, there are only more or less, and it is insatiable nature to be greedy. The place rich in golden sweets is a muddy river and lake, everyone is fighting, and everyone thinks that they are the final winner.
It was a week after Li Langyu came to the autumn venue with Cheng Hanliang. This time, he finally didn't need to wear those fancy gentleman's glasses. The bridge of his nose was relieved, and he was as relaxed as a cloud that came and went at any time.
"Auspicious Moon Garden" is divided into sixteen halls, each hall represents an entrance of the original stone field. The further inward, the more famous the entrance of the field, and the greater the probability of producing high-grade jadeite. Li Langyu and the others went to the first hall of the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.
As the saying goes, in the casino, you can see all kinds of things, and behind all kinds of things, you can see the world. From south to north, the red lanterns are hung high, and there are rounds of early sun on the walkway, and the room is full of light. , all accepted this glorious breast milk, they faded the mutual prejudice of class differentiation, the gentleman and the villain meet at the same table, and the rich businessman and the pariah compete three times. Entering the "Xiang Yue Garden", everyone is naked and ordinary, and all their net worth depends on luck.
Cheng Hanliang and Li Langyu took a seat in the northeast corner of the first hall temporarily, ordered two Xinyang Maojian, and drank it in a hurry. Before the main show started, the two watched the excitement. Li Langyu noticed that most of the halls were rich and distinguished, and there were also many gamblers. There was a long Western-style square table in the center, with a big gong on the far right. The old man stood there like a statue of stone.
There was a row of stones on the table, and except for the two seats closest to the gong, the rest were almost full. Li Langyu didn't understand the way of gambling stone, and saw someone with squinted eyes, looking straight at the dealer to cut off a certain part of the original stone, his eyes almost whimpered, as if he was about to die.
Cheng Hanliang told him that it must have been destroyed. The reason why gambling stones is interesting is to choose gold and jade from the bad flakes. The stones in the world are strange and strange, and people are mortal to the naked eye. If you want to get beautiful jade, you must take risks. This in itself is a kind of excitement.
"That piece of wool is not bad, it should be able to cut out a good one."
Li Langyu followed Cheng Hanliang's gaze, and a middle-aged man with a black eye patch on his left eye took the rough stone out of the water. He was thin, with a sharp chin and extremely high cheekbones. He was full of bandit. The scary thing is that eye, as vicious and shrewd as a snake's eye.
"Why do you need to soak it in water?" Li Langyu asked.
"The common method of stone inspection, if the water disperses quickly, it means that the internal structure of the wool is loose and there are many pores.
