Saturday.
The sky is beautiful. The wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful.
The air is warm and comfortable, and the real spring is long overdue.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Dong Xuebin drove his Mercedes-Benz back to Beijing. I slept at Huilan's house until about ten o'clock last night. When I went back to my own house, I slept for a while and felt less sleepy, so I just got out of bed at five o'clock in the morning and drove over to the capital. Tomorrow, Han will be here. "Madam's birthday party" I have to prepare gifts in advance, and I have to go to Director Xu Yanxu's place and Qu Yunxuan's place. There are a lot of things this weekend.
At this time, the phone rang and it was Xie Hao's number.
Dong Xuebin slowed down the car and answered with a smile, "Hey, Xiaohao."
"Haha, brother-in-law, it's my aunt's birthday, when will you come to Beijing?" Xie Hao is always so cheerful.
"I've arrived in the capital, and I'm driving to the city. Where are you with me?" "Hey, we're all here? I'm with my second sister. We just bought a gift for my aunt." Hey, are you early? Tell me, I had known we would have gone together. "
"It's early enough for you. Where are you? I'll go find you."
After writing down the address, Dong Xuebin speeded up and drove towards Beicheng. The gift for Mrs. Han must not be neglected. If the gift is too shabby, it will not only embarrass yourself, but also Xie Huilan's face will not look good, and it will not work if it is too tacky. So Dong Xuebin is going to see what Xiaohao and Xiaojing bought first, and then He wanted to inquire about Mrs. Han's preferences before making a decision, and he owed Xie Jing a favor. Knowing that Xiao Hao was with her, he had to go and treat her to a meal or something. What happened last week was terrible. No less effort.
Near Beichen.
Under an overpass, Dong Xuebin stopped the car and looked around.
"Brother-in-law!" Not far away, Xie Hao stuffed a bunch of candied haws into his mouth and waved vigorously.
Xie Jing held a small bowl that seemed to be from a folk kiln in the Ming Dynasty, smiled and nodded to Dong Xuebin, and then walked over with Xie Hao and got into the car.
Throwing the candied haws sticks along the road, Xie Hao wiped his lips and said, "Brother-in-law," you came just in time, we were staggering and couldn't hit the car. "
Dong Xuebin said happily: "Okay, do you think of me as a coolie?"
Xie Hao chuckled, "How dare I? Just drop by, and by the way, let me show you what my second sister and I bought!" "What they both bought were antiques, one was porcelain from a folk kiln, and the other was a boxwood piece.
Dong Xuebin blinked, "Mrs. Han also likes antiques?"
"It's not bad." Xie Jing in the back seat said with a smile: "The main thing is that we don't know what to buy anymore." Gold or cosmetics are really not of good taste, and other things have been given away before. "Haha, my eldest sister is very fond of antiques. "I'm interested." Even my aunt also liked these, especially the porcelain, so I bought one today because it looked good. "
It would be easier if it were this way." Dong Xuebin thought that it would be OK to go back to the company and get an antique.
After talking for a while, Xie Jing suddenly said: "Brother Dong, come to my house. Did you agree to treat me to dinner?" And you also said that you would cook in person? "
Dong Xuebin said happily: "No problem, let's go."
"Drive forward, it's not far from here." Xie Jing said.
Dong Xuebin exclaimed, "This is where the Xinhua News Agency dormitory is?" "No, it's my old house. I've never lived there." Xie Jing stretched out her hand to point him in the direction and said: " Someone died upstairs some time ago. "I am a superstitious person. Last month, I invited a Bodhisattva elephant from my aunt to come back to control the town. It has been a month. I just happened to return it this time and prepare to clean up the house. I've been living here for a while. "There's been something going on in the dormitory at my workplace recently." There have been a lot of people coming to see me for errands these days, and I don't want to go back, otherwise I won't be able to have some peace and quiet on the weekends. "
Xie Hao chuckled and said, "Second sister is so capable. Why doesn't anyone ask me for help?" "Are you asking for help?" Xie Jing smiled and glanced at him.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Isn't your Personnel Bureau conducting inspections on responsible cadres? Are there any vacancies recently?" Xie Jing smiled bitterly and said: "It's not just a personnel exchange" to select some comrades with outstanding achievements from the grassroots media and news departments. Come to the Xinhua News Agency headquarters, run with each department team, learn from each other and share the results. Well, it is also called an internship. According to you, it is gold-plated. Although you will not stay in Xinhua News Agency, it is still a qualification. , it will be of great help for future promotions, no, the exchange quota is handed over to our Personnel Bureau for review, and all the monsters and monsters came the next day, they are all related, and I can't recommend it, so I might as well hide. "
Dong Xuebin said: "Xinhua News Agency is very popular." "Every generation with Chinese characters is like this." If you want to develop in the journalism world, who wouldn't want to come here to get a layer of gold? "
"Do we also have quotas in Yantai County?" Dong Xuebin asked.
Xie Jing shook her head without thinking, "There must be none." The list was booked early in the morning. "It's just a matter of going through the procedures for us at the Personnel Bureau." There are only a dozen places, and there are too many people competing for them. "There are only one or two spots in their game that can make the decisions. There are more monks and less meat." That's why I hid, otherwise I would offend others.
We were talking about personnel exchanges. "Xie* couldn't listen anymore... I said, can we change the topic? Why can't we stop talking about work?"
"Haha..." Dong Xuebin and Xie Jing looked at each other and smiled.
In a very ordinary community.
After driving in, Dong Xuebin stopped in front of a building according to Xie Jing's instructions.
After getting off the car, Xie Hao looked up and looked around, and said with nostalgia: "Second sister, do you still remember when you were a child and you took me to have a snowball fight in the yard? Just here, you bullied me when I was little, holding up a big snowball that I didn't know where to find. The ball hit me. Hey, later on we were covered in water and caught colds. My eldest sister came and pointed at our noses and scolded us. You were not convinced and you talked back, but you were stunned. My eldest sister grabbed her ears and beat her." Haha. "Xie Jing glared at him, "You were too naughty when you were a child, so you knew how to make me angry. If I didn't hit you, who would I hit? "
"Hmph, you are bullying the younger. You are ten years older than me, and you have no sense of humility. You bullied me, and in the end, my sister got beaten.
", Xie Hao gloated.
"Your eldest sister has never beaten you? Huh?"
"...Ahem, you didn't beat me that time anyway."
Listening to the two chatting about their childhood, Dong Xuebin also smiled and said to himself, no wonder Xie Huilan, the eldest sister, has such a high prestige. Xie Hao is afraid of her, Xie Jing is afraid of her, and Xie Ran also respects her. "It turned out to be Huilan. I beat up a few of them, they are like mothers. Well, Dong Xuebin wanted to laugh a little when the young Xie Huilan pinched their ears with a straight face, and he also really wanted to see the photos of Sister Xie when she was a teenager, for sure. Very cute.
Entering the corridor of the second unit, Xie Hao and Xie Jing were still fighting.
"Second sister, I'm not telling you, you are so cowardly." Xie Hao stepped on her and said, "Isn't it the person above you who died?" Look, you were scared. This month, Don't you dare live here anymore? Why invite a Bodhisattva to exorcise evil spirits? This is feudal superstition. This is feudal superstition. "
Xie Jing said angrily: "What do you know?"
Xie Hao said: "Thankfully, my aunt actually lent you the Bodhisattva. That is my aunt's treasure."
"Keep your voice down!" Xie Jing gave him a look.
Dong Xuebin asked curiously: "What Bodhisattva?", cleared his throat, and Xie Jing went upstairs and whispered: "It's a sandstone seated Bodhisattva from Tianlongshan Grottoes in the Tang Dynasty." Seeing Dong Xuebin startled, Xie Jing smiled and said : "Brother Dong also knows about antiques? To put it bluntly, the auction price of this Bodhisattva elephant in the market a few years ago was about 10 million. If it goes up for auction now, it would be at least tens of millions. It can be regarded as an antique among antiques. This was still a family heirloom from my grandfather.”
Is it for Mr. Xie
family heirloom
Dong Xuebin secretly thought that it was no wonder. If it were not passed down from his family, the Xie family would not be able to afford it no matter how rich they were. It would cost tens of millions, and there was no direct business person in the Xie family.
Dong Xuebin asked curiously: "Mr. Xie gave it to Mrs. Han?"
"Xie Jingyi," "When my uncle got married, the old man gave the Bodhisattva statue to my eldest son. Later, my aunt offered the Bodhisattva as an offering. It was so precious that even my eldest sister wanted to touch it when she was little. Even if I don’t let you, haha, I also begged my aunt for several days last month. After all, she only lent me the money for a month. If I don’t give it back on my birthday tomorrow, she should glare at me.”
Xie Hao smiled and said: "If it breaks," my aunt will eat you. "
"Go, stop cursing your sister." He walked up to the fourth floor with a smile. When he turned around, Xie Jing took out the key and opened the door.
Click, click, click…
"Huh?" Xie Jing was suddenly startled. "Why is the keyhole broken?" "Dong Xuebin was stunned and looked over. "Can't you get the key in? Did you get it wrong?" "No." Looking at the key in his hand, Xie Jing poked it into the door again. This time I tried a little harder, but the door was pushed open and it was unlocked!
Seeing the signs of being pried again on the keyhole, Dong Xuebin immediately said: "Thief!" Xie Jing and Xie Hao's expressions changed drastically, and they pushed the door open and entered the house!
The floor was in a mess, clothes and pillows were removed, the mattresses were lifted, and all the cupboard and wardrobe doors were wide open. It was obvious that they had been stolen by thieves!
"It's broken!" Xie Hao exclaimed, "Bodhisattva statue!" Xie Jing turned pale and hurriedly ran to the small bedroom, "Safe! Safe! Don't let anything happen! Don't let anything happen!" It's so precious Of course Xie Jing was worried about leaving his things at home, so when he borrowed the money from Bodhisattva, he bought a small safe with a password.
In the ransacked bedroom.
Xie Jing and Dong Xuebin rummaged around hurriedly, peeling off the sheets on the floor and opening the cabinet in the corner.
But unfortunately, the safe that was supposed to be in the corner was missing!
Was he carried away directly by a thief?
Xie Jing mixed the garlic at her feet and immediately fell to the bed, "It's over! The Bodhisattva statue is lost! Lost! I... I... How can I be so good with Daha..." Xie Hao said angrily: "I'm fooling his uncle! Which one? The bastard stole it!"
