Mu Guang smiled bitterly and said, "Old Sun, you don't know the following situation. The secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor are the hegemons of the party below, doing whatever they want. Brother me, I did it step by step with strength. Very deep background, unlike Jinda’s kind behind the secretary Guo Kui. If people want to bully me, I have to accept it honestly. Old grandson, you know, this society more often depends on background and relationship. , Rather than relying on strength. Didn’t it all say in Journey to the West that the monsters that are related are taken away and ranked in the immortal class, and the monsters that are okay will be beaten to death by Sun Wukong with a stick. I am the monster that is okay, The only thing I can rely on in Donghai is Secretary Tao Wen who appreciates me, and he is still in a state of retirement."
Director Sun is a very chivalrous person, and his acting style is very similar to Mu Guang, which is one of the reasons why he and Mu Guang can get along well. Hearing that Mu Guang was bullied so much in the city, Chief Sun became angry and said, "Old Mu, why don't you tell us friends who are being bullied so much in the city?"
Mu Guang smiled bitterly, and said, "What I said is to add blockage to my friends, what did I say?"
Director Sun said: "Who said that we can only add blockage, can't we give you a breath of breath?"
Mu Guang said, "How can I trouble my friends with my own business?"
Director Sun said, "I don't want to listen to you. What do friends do? Isn't it just a friend who can help at a critical moment?"
Mu Guang glanced at Director Sun and said, "Old Sun, can you help me?"
Chief Sun laughed and said, "Joke, I can't help you with what I said. You also know who I was with."
Mu Guang smiled and said: "I know you used to be a secretary for ***** Zhao Lao, but it's really not worth it to trouble Zhao Lao for such a small thing as me."
Mu Guang had long known that before Director Sun went to the Ministry of Agriculture as Director, he had worked as a secretary with Zhao Lao of the Organization Department of the Central Committee for a period of time. This was also Mu Guang's willingness to spend money with Director Sun. One of the reasons for a good relationship. Mu Guang knew that this relationship was very useful, and the future of Director Sun must be limitless. Mr. Zhao has been working as a ***** for many years. During his tenure, he has promoted a large number of cadres. It can be said that his disciples are all over the world. This is why Mr. Zhao is now retired, but he is still very respected. Of course, this is also the main reason why Mu Guang came to find Director Sun today. Although he said that it was not worth the trouble to Mr. Zhao, he tried his best to hope Mr. Sun could help him find Mr. Zhao to come forward. He told Director Sun so many things that Zhang Lin and Jin Da bullied him, but also wanted to arouse Director Sun's anger, so that Director Sun wanted to find Mr. Zhao.
Sure enough, Director Sun was really fooled. He smiled and said, "Old Mu, are you willing to be bullied like this all the time?"
Mu Guang said: "Of course I am not reconciled, but..."
You are not reconciled. Director Sun didn’t let Mu Guang say the words afterwards: “Old Mu, you and I are quite congenial. Everyone is a friend, I’ll help you out. It’s just a few days later. Please prepare something for Mr. Zhao’s birthday, and I will take you to meet Mr. Zhao."
Mu Guang's eyes lit up and said, "Old Sun, are you going to introduce me to Old Zhao?"
Director Sun laughed and said, "Of course, I am Mr. Zhao's favorite secretary. He can still give me this little face."
Mu Guang said: "But what can I bring to him? I don't know what Zhao Lao likes?"
Director Sun said: "The gift is just a wish. It doesn't need to be too expensive. It just needs to be in line with the heart."
Mu Guang said: "I don't know what Mr Zhao likes? Old grandson, you should know that you are a secretary for him?"
Director Sun smiled and said: "Of course I know. I tell you, Zhao Lao likes tea, so he likes purple clay pots. You should find a way to buy a decent purple clay pot, right?"
Mu Guang smiled and said, "Of course it shouldn't be a problem, but there are many famous purple clay pots. I don't know what style Zhao Lao likes."
Director Sun smiled and said: "Mr Zhao is very humanistic, and the same applies to the purple clay pot. He likes the Mansheng pot with strong literary vibe. Chen Mansheng was one of the eight schools in Sirlen. During the Jiadao period of the Qing Dynasty, he was committed to advancing. Zisha pot art, legend has it that he hand-painted eighteen kinds of pot styles and invited Zisha potters Yang Pengnian, Shao Erquan, etc. to make them. Then Chen Mansheng and his client Jiang Tingxiang, Gao Shuangquan, Guo Pinying, Zha Meishi, etc. The knife is carved on the pot, and artistic elements such as literature, calligraphy, and seal cutting are incorporated into the purple clay pot art, forming a unique literati pot style."
Mr. Zhao likes this very much. I once went to Shanghai with him once and saw a Mansheng ring gourd pot at the Shanghai Museum. Mr. Zhao liked it very much at the time. However, it is difficult to find the Mansheng pot now, and it is also difficult to find it for a while. It is okay to find Gu Jingzhou, a master of contemporary arts and crafts. Gu Jingzhou is a contemporary, and there are many surviving works. Zhao Lao is also very familiar with his works. like.
Mu Guang smiled and said: "If you give it to Lao Zhao, you'd better find a Mansheng pot."
Director Sun smiled and said, "That will take a lot of effort. It's hard to come by."
Mu Guang smiled and said, "I'll try it out, I can't talk about it anymore."
So Mu Guang asked his friend to find a Mansheng pot for him at the Liulichang. After a lot of effort, he found out that an antique dealer had privately hidden a half-dipper pot that Chen Mansheng and Yang Pengnian cooperated. Because of the scarcity, The antique dealer just kept it for his own enjoyment and refused to sell it. Mu Guang tried to find someone to discuss with the antique dealer, and finally got the antique dealer to cut love, and because of this, the antique dealer was very bitter in terms of price, and Mu Guang had to go out to thirty. Ten thousand high price. On the market, Gu Jingzhou's purple clay pots are only around 100,000 yuan. However, Mu Guang thinks that his money will be worth it. If he can make Old Zhao happy, his future will be bright.
Now Mu Guang can't come up with so much money at once, but Zhao Lao's birthday is right in front of him, Mu Guang has to buy the pot quickly, so he can't worry about finding something to cover up, so he has to personally. Ask Liu Kang for the 300,000 yuan. Anyway, he knew that Liu Kang had to bow his head to him because of the new airport project, and Mu Guang believed that if Zhao and Lao really got in touch with him, he would have a strong backing, and he would no longer need to be like him. In the past, there were so many scruples like that.
It's just that Mu Guang didn't expect that Liu Kang would actually make him an IOU, which made him feel angry and reduced his excitement about being able to get along with Zhao Lao.
The next day, Liu Kang sent someone 300,000 in cash to Mu Guang. Mu Guang then made an appointment with the antique dealer in the evening and paid for the half-dipper pot.
On Saturday, Mu Guang followed Director Sun to meet with Mr. Zhao. Mu Guang had seen Mr. Zhao on TV. When he saw him in person at the moment, he felt a little excited. He stepped forward to shake hands with Mr. Zhao enthusiastically and repeatedly asked Mr. Zhao how he was.
With an extraordinary look, Mr. Zhao looked at Director Sun and Mu Guang, and asked, "Little Sun, who is this comrade?"
Director Sun smiled and said, "Master, this is a good friend of my Donghai Province. The surname is Mu, the executive deputy mayor of Haichuan City."
Old Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "It turns out to be a soldier under Comrade Guo Kui, that's not bad."
Director Sun went on to say: "My friend was studying in **** recently. During a chat, I heard that you like tea and Chen Mansheng's Mansheng pot. It happened that he had a half-dipper pot on hand. I just wanted to show you the pot. I knew you were good about this, so I brought him."
When Mr. Zhao heard that it was a Mansheng pot, he smiled without serious consideration and said: "Mansheng pots are very few handed down from generation to generation, and most people get fakes."
Mu Guang smiled and said: "As soon as I heard Mr. Zhao say that you are an expert, I am not sure that this pot is genuine. I have also looked at many experts. On the contrary, I am even more confused. Mr. Zhao, you bother, how about you help me see it?"
Old Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, you can take it out."
Mu Guang took out a purple clay pot with a half scoop as its body, which was short and straight, turned into a ring and covered with an arc button. Zhao Lao saw that the half scoop was glowing with the natural luster of a purple clay pot. Hun Pu Runya smiled and said, "You, Comrade Mu, is good, at least you know how to keep pots. Most people only know to hide the purple clay pot if they don’t know that they need to take care of it. They often have a good pot. Will be ruined."
In fact, Mu Guang didn't know what keeping a pot was. He had just picked up this pot from an antique dealer. This purple clay pot was so good, and it was entirely the credit of which antique dealer.
Mr. Zhao, who was also happy with Mu Guang, thought so, he smiled and said, “Mr. Zhao, you are indeed an expert. Take a good look. Is this pot genuine?”
Mu Guang put the pot in front of Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao picked up the pot and his eyes lit up. He yelled and said, “This pot has simple lines, regular workmanship, skillful knives, fine carvings, and knives. Like a thunderbolt, it looks vigorous and simple, full of gold and stone, and a good pot. Sun, take my magnifying glass, and I will look at the style on the pot."
Chief Sun hurried to find Mr. Zhao's magnifying glass. Mr. Zhao took the magnifying glass and went to look at the inscription on the bottom of the pot, saying: "Amanduo room, it's a bit interesting."
Chief Sun smiled and said, "What's the matter, sir, is it true?"
Zhao Lao smiled and said: "It's very similar. One of the characteristics of Chen Mansheng's half-dipper pot is that Chen Mansheng, contrary to the traditional Yixing Zisha craftsmanship, actually covered the pottery mark on the bottom of the pot with his own big seal. The pottery room, and move the potter’s seal into the pot lid or the lower abdomen of the pot handle. You can ask me to find out if there is a pottery maker."
