Manager Liu is the general manager of Huaxia Auction Capital Branch, named Liu Zhou. Shu 殢殩獍
He came very quickly. The secretary notified him via the intercom, and he came up within five minutes. But as soon as he came in, he was stunned.
Behind the desk, the girl was wearing a emerald white peony cheongsam. She was sitting elegantly and calmly, with a smile on her face. When she looked up, for some reason, her indifferent or unfocused gaze actually made people's hearts skip a beat. , suddenly shocked.
Next to the girl, a stern man wearing a major general's uniform stood upright. He looked down at the computer screen on the table without looking at anyone. He didn't bend down at all, just typing on the keyboard with his fingers, not knowing what he was doing.
Zhu Yanlan stood in the office, looking at him with suspicion.
Liu Zhou was shocked again!
"Mr. Liu, I want to hear your explanation about the latest chapter of marrying Yanxing as your wife." At this time, Xia Shao spoke slowly and pointed her finger lightly towards the screen on the wall next to her.
Liu Zhou turned his head in shock, only to realize that the screen was on. And when he saw the image of the golden knife frozen on the screen, his eyes suddenly flashed! Then he looked at Xia Shao in confusion and asked with a smile: "Chairman, is there any problem with this?"
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows slightly, and before she could speak, Zhu Yanlan spoke in surprise.
"Mr. Liu, don't you see anything wrong? This knife coin made in the New Mang Dynasty is not on the list of items for our charity auction today!" Zhu Yanlan did not say that the knife coin was a fake, even if the object was placed in front of him , it may not be possible to tell whether it is true or false at a glance, let alone watching it on a screen? What she found most incredible was that Liu Zhou actually asked what was the problem
Doesn't he see what's wrong with this
Liu Zhou looked at Zhu Yanlan and was surprised, "Sister Zhu, are you kidding me? This kind of joke is not easy to make. This knife coin is obviously on the auction list. Haven't you seen it many times?"
Zhu Yanlan was stunned, then shocked! At her age, she thinks she has experienced everything, but today she was really confused, "Mr. Liu, when did I see it? It's not on the list I saw this morning! I carry it with me Son, you can take a look!"
Zhu Yanlan was very busy this morning. When she went to the warehouse to look at the auction items, she still had the list with her, and she kept it with her after reading it. It's just that I was a little confused by the sudden incident, and I kept thinking about what the problem was, but I forgot that I still had a list with me. After listening to Liu Zhou's words just now, I suddenly remembered it in a hurry!
So she hurriedly found it and opened it. She checked it first, then breathed a sigh of relief and handed it to Xia Shao.
Xia Shao glanced down and looked at Liu Zhou with a smile.
Liu Zhou took it calmly, glanced at it, and was surprised, "Huh? How could this happen? This, is this a staff member's mistake?"
Xia Shao looked at Liu Zhou, fixed her eyes on his face, and smiled slowly, "Mr. Liu, how is your fortune lately?"
Liu Zhou was stunned and raised his eyes! He didn't know why Xia Shao suddenly changed the subject and asked about his wealth, but he just felt a thump in his heart! The Beijing branch of Huaxia Auction just opened today. He is the new general manager. He has never met Xia Shao before, but he has heard of the chairman's legendary deeds.
I heard that the girl in front of me is a Feng Shui master, and her fortune telling is extremely accurate!
What, what did she see
"Have you made a lot of money recently?" Xia Shao's slow voice sounded.
Liu Zhou was horrified and raised his head, but his eyes were covered with shock. He looked a little confused and didn't understand what Xia Shao was talking about.
Xia Shao smiled, but the smile was a little cold, "How can I tell? You must know my identity. Now, not only can I see that you have made a fortune in three days, but I can also see that you are about to go to jail. disaster."
"Chairman..."
Xia Shao waved her hand to stop Liu Zhou's words. Instead, he turned his gaze and looked at the computer screen in front of him. Xu Tianyin stood beside her and pressed the last key. Xia Shao stared at the screen for a full minute, then sneered, turned the computer screen, and said to Liu Zhou: "Mr. Liu, explain to me what happened in this minute?"
What happened in these two minutes can be described as dramatic. Liu Zhou left Zhu Yanlan and went into the warehouse. When the busy employees were not paying attention, he placed the gold knife in the Xipinzhai auction and put it on top. Corresponding display boards. Then he turned around and walked out, standing outside the warehouse, watching the employees move display cabinets and collections into the exhibition hall, looking like a hands-on general manager.
It only took a minute from Liu Zhou entering the warehouse to coming out.
This minute of surveillance video has been cut out. The cut-out surveillance video seems to have a very natural connection. Only Liu Zhou is watching the video of employees working outside the warehouse discussing the distance between the beloved concubine and the empress. And the video is only one minute long. Judging from the time, if you don't look carefully, you really can't find it.
But this did not escape Xu Tianyin's eyesight. After Zhu Yanlan said that he met Manager Liu at the door of the warehouse, he started to use the computer on Xia Shao's desk to check the surveillance video, and before Liu Zhou came into the office, he said: "It has been edited out."
Xia Shao's eyes turned cold immediately, and Xu Tianyin continued: "It can be recovered."
Then, he began to recover. When Liu Zhou came in, he didn't even raise his eyes.
Liu Zhou originally thought that he would cut out the surveillance video. He was already very powerful. Who knew that this thing could be restored? At this moment, he was staring at the computer screen, his face changing again and again, from white to red to blue. Zhu Yanlan next to him looked at it and said in shock: "Mr. Liu, how can you do such a thing?! This is trapping the company." Righteousness! It’s the company’s reputation that’s being damaged! Do you know?! Where is your professional ethics?”
"His professional ethics was bought with money." Xia Shao said lightly, "It's just that I don't know how much his professional ethics was sold for. Is it worth twenty years of career in the industry and several years in prison?"
No matter which industry you are in, the most taboo thing is to eat everything inside and outside. In the antique industry, if something like this happens, it will be tantamount to ruining his future in the industry. If Huaxia Group sues Liu Zhou, he will indeed go to jail.
Liu Zhou's bluish complexion suddenly turned pale again! He originally thought that Xia Shao wouldn't find out, so he prepared for the worst. After all, there is an extra lot, and Zhu Yanlan will definitely find it during the afternoon auction. So he made up his mind and refused to admit it, insisting on his own opinions with her. Without evidence, it was difficult for Xia Shao to make a decision.
But he didn't expect that the deleted minute of surveillance video could be restored. Now, the evidence was conclusive.
"Chairman, I..."
Xia Shao still raised her hand to block his words, "I don't want to hear your explanation. You have already done the work, and the fake is placed in the exhibition hall of my Huaxia Group. I don't want to hear you say that you had a misunderstanding or had something to hide. That's your business, and I shouldn't be asked to pay for you. So, don't play a sad drama for me, understand?"
Xia Shao still spoke slowly, but Liu Zhou was so palpitated that he didn't even dare to look her in the eyes, and sweat broke out on his forehead. It wasn't until this moment that he realized why the outside world thought so highly of this girl. Just being face to face with her, he could no longer feel the age gap.
The aura, the pressure, this is what he felt.
And he could only nod in this oppressive feeling, "I understand, I understand!"
"What I want to hear from you now is who bribed you and how much money was given to you." Xia Shao looked at Liu Zhou with a cold gaze.
The fake was sent for auction in the name of Xipintang. Xia Shao did not believe that Yu Lao was the only one who bribed Liu Zhou. Mr. Yu's family is currently financially tight, and he has no money to bribe Liu Zhou. Xipintang is most likely involved in this matter.
If this is the case, Xia Shao must think about the other party's purpose.
Is it simply a shady industry, trying to make a fortune through a charity auction? It is still aimed at Huaxia Group. After all, peers are enemies. This is an eternal truth.
"It was Mr. Xie from Xipintang who found me and gave me... one million." Moreover, the other party said that after the matter was completed, he would give him more benefits.
"When a collection like this, which has no price on the market, is put up for charity auction, have you ever doubted its authenticity?"
"Mr. Xie said that there was an expert appraisal and it was fine." Liu Zhou lowered his head.
Xia Shao sneered, "He said it's okay because it's okay? It seems that Huaxia Group spent money to hire employees from Xipintang."
Liu Zhou lowered his head again.
Xia Shao stared at him, "Don't Mr. Xie of Xipintang know that the extra lots will still be discovered during the afternoon auction?"
This is the beast tamer (orc) that Xia Shao wants to know. Isn't the other party afraid of antagonizing the Huaxia Group? Of course, if the other party was cheating the Huaxia Group, they would naturally not have such concerns. But Xia Shao couldn't figure it out. Now that the whole capital knew that she might marry into the Xu family, even if she was a colleague and an enemy, they shouldn't blatantly trick her at this time.
"What Mr. Xie means is that few of the CEOs who attended the charity auction are real collectors. They will believe it if it is authenticated by experts, and they will not be able to tell if it is a fake. And..."
"And even if Huaxia Group finds out, the lot has been put on display. It's impossible to take it back, and it's impossible to confess. We can only bite the bullet and take it, right?" Xia Shao helped Liu Zhou finish the sentence.
Taking it back will make guests who have seen the auction suspicious, and confessing will call into question Huaxia Group's ability to identify antiques. Xipintang wants the dumb Huaxia Group to eat coptis. If he doesn’t want to help them take out this fake product, he still has to help
Liu Zhou lowered his head and wiped sweat.
"Xipintang is a time-honored brand in Beijing, so it should know the psychology of its customers. It's rare to collect an antique without looking for friends to look around for it. The gold-staggered knife is a rare object. Once it is sold, the entire collecting world will be shocked. The discerning people among the public There are so many people, if it is found to be fake, not to mention the reputation of Huaxia Group, this object was sent for auction by Xipintang, is Mr. Xie not afraid of getting into a reputation lawsuit?" Xia Shao asked lightly. She felt that Liu Zhou still had a lot to say.
Sure enough, although Liu Zhou did not raise his head after hearing this, he frowned and seemed to have a strange look on his face.
Xia Shao casually put the screen remote control in her hand on the table, "Bang!"
Liu Zhou shook his shoulders and spoke quickly, but his expression was still weird. He even raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Tianyin, "Chairman, you may not know this when you first came to the capital. The boss behind Xipintang is Mr. Wang. Eat Mr. Wang's If you lose money, you can only endure it. What's more... The charity auction is sponsored by Huaxia Group and the items selected by Xipintang. Once exposed, the honor and disgrace of the two families are tied by the same rope. Aren't you and Commander Xu... cough! The Xu family and the Wang family , no one dares to provoke me."
Xia Shao frowned, Mr. Wang
Only then did she remember that she seemed to have heard such a sentence below. It was probably because Xipintang had a background, and the person behind it was Mr. Wang.
Xia Shao suddenly lowered his eyes, and something seemed to flash in his mind!
Could it be that he is the king of the Fourth Young Master in Beijing
Xia Shao naturally knew these people, the fourth young master of the capital—Xu Qin Wang Jiang, the center of power in the Republic and the son of the four major families in the military and political circles of the capital.
Xu, naturally belongs to the Xu family. However, Xu Shao was not referring to Xu Tianyin. He doesn't often move around in upper-class circles. This Young Master Xu refers to Xu Tianyin's cousin, Xu Tianzhe.
Qin is the Qin family of Mr. Qin, deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Republic. Young Master Qin is Qin Hanlin.
Wang is from a military family and is the only one of the four major families who is in the military.
The Jiang family is one of the four families with people in both military and political circles. They are strong and currently compete the most fiercely with the Qin family.
The four young masters in the capital, judging from the peak power status of the four major families, these four people can naturally be called the "Four Young Masters". But not everyone is so worthy.
Xu Tianzhe and Qin Hanlin, one is the youngest mayor in the Republic, and the other is the youngest secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Republic. They have a bright future and are well-deserved. The eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Zhengqi, is currently serving in the local government and is also the mayor. However, he is already thirty-two years old, older than Xu Tianzhe and Qin Hanlin, and his achievements and external evaluation are lower than them. But without comparison, the 32-year-old young mayor Jiang Zhengqi also has a bright future.
Among the four young men in the capital, the most famous one is Wang Zhuo. Wang Zhuo is completely a playboy, neither in politics nor in the military. His wealth depends entirely on his parents. Mr. Wang of the Wang family was once the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the Republic, but now he has passed away. Wang Zhuo's father is now a member of the Military Commission, and his mother is from the Military Arts Troupe. But his mother's natal family was in business and had some wealth. Seeing that Wang Zhuo was not achieving anything, she gave him money to open a company.
But his company should not be in the antiques industry.
After all, Xia Shao started her career in this field, and she always knows something about our colleagues. My wife is a princess. I never heard that Wang Zhuo is behind Xipinzhai.
Zhu Yanlan, who was standing aside, seemed to understand Xia Shao's thoughts, and said, "Xipinzhai just changed its boss behind the scenes, and it's only been three months. I was busy with the auction during this period, and I forgot to tell you. "
Xia Shao nodded gently. She didn't care about this, but about...
"Senior brother, which sect is the Wang family close to?" Xia Shao turned around and asked, "I remember it seems to be the Jiang family?"
Xu Tianyin looked down at Xia Shao and said simply, "Jiang." But his eyes were fixed on Xia Shao, and he seemed to have thought of it the same way as she did.
Xipinzhai may not be afraid of exposure in this matter. If it is exposed, in the eyes of outsiders, it will be a collusion between Huaxia Group and Xipinzhai. Xia Shao had just proposed to Xu Tianyin, and Wang Zhuo was behind Xipinzhai. Maybe this incident was seen as an attempt to get closer to the Xu and Wang families.
In this case, the Qin family may be isolated by many people who are watching, and the Jiang family is more likely to win.
Xia Shao frowned, she really didn't want to think like this. A small knife coin can actually get involved in factional fights in the capital and disrupt the political situation
But even if she overthinks it, from the perspective of financial benefits, Xipinzhai is not at a loss. Even though this is a charity auction, the starting price of the auction items still has to be paid to the antique dealers who sent the collections for auction. After all, it costs money to recover the antiques, and most of them cost a lot of money. To put it bluntly, charity auctions are indeed not profitable, but the capital still needs to be preserved.
But no profit is for genuine products. If it’s a fake, isn’t it necessary to make money based on the starting price of the authentic product
Besides, since Xipinzhai has acquired such an unpriced object, shouldn't the starting price be high? They don't want to make money, they want to make money hard!
Whether this matter is exposed or not, it will be good for Xipinzhai or Wang Zhuo.
Xia Shao was so angry that she laughed, what a plan! This plan of not losing money has hit her!
If this was really Wang Zhuo's idea, he wouldn't be considered a dandy! It's quite clever. However, the abacus hit the wrong person!
"Chairman, what should we do now? It will be noon soon. After the banquet, the auction will begin." Zhu Yanlan asked.
Xia Shao looked at Liu Zhou. Liu Zhou thought that Xia Shao wanted to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes, so he quickly said: "Chairman, in fact, there are insiders in every industry. Many auction companies hold charity auctions, and the reserve prices are raised very high. . It is said that it is not profitable, but in fact it is still profitable. It is just less than the normal auction. Our company follows the lowest price, which is somewhat contradictory to many rules in the industry. If this continues, peers will have a lot to say. . What I mean is, as Mr. Xie said, how many of those corporate CEOs know antiques? They are just being taken advantage of. Gold-wrapped knives are very unpopular, and it may not be obvious that they are fakes. Even if the other party knows that they have been cheated. , just give him some benefits. If he takes a step back, he can get into the Wang family, and if he loses money to gain connections, it must not be a loss, right? This is equivalent to spending money to buy a relationship. And we can also use this to communicate with Xipin If you build a good relationship with Zhai, you will be able to walk smoothly in the capital in the future. What's wrong with that?"
Xia Shao listened quietly, nodded while listening, and smiled after listening, "You are really a talent."
Today I learned a lesson about what it means to be honest and businesslike.
Liu Zhou was stunned and lowered his head, feeling that this sounded like a compliment, but it didn't sound like it.
"When you were competing for the position of general manager, was this how you passed?" Xia Shao asked with a slow laugh.
Liu Zhou was silent. Of course this is impossible, and it is naturally difficult to say these things when you are competing for employment.
"Huaxia Group cannot retain such an outstanding talent like you. Please find another job." Xia Shao's voice came slowly.
Liu Zhou suddenly raised his head, "Chairman?"
In fact, he was not surprised at the outcome of being fired. After all, he received a million yuan from the other party. But he thought that after what he said just now, the chairman should be able to understand the intricacies of interests involved. Maybe you can look at him with admiration and give him a chance to make up for his mistakes.
Looking at Liu Zhou's stunned face, Xia Shao smiled, "Oh, I forgot. Even if you want to find another job, you have no future in this industry. Your future lies in prison. Please wait to receive the lawyer's letter. ."
Liu Zhou's stunned face suddenly turned into shock!
"Chairman, I..."
"You think you are smart, but it is a pity that Huaxia Group has been trapped in the lack of morality and righteousness in everything!" Xia Shao looked at Liu Zhou and narrowed his eyes, "Charity is charity, and it is not for the purpose of profit. Profit under the banner of charity, Isn’t it unethical to fish for fame and deceive people’s respect and trust? Those guests in the exhibition hall downstairs all came to congratulate the inauguration ceremonies of the Huaxia Group companies! Isn’t it unethical to defraud them of their money even though you know that the auction items are fake?! You are such a person! You are an immoral person, why should I keep you?"
Xia Shao's voice was cold, and Liu Zhou's face felt as hot as a slap.
Xia Shao didn't finish her words, she poked at Liu Zhou with each word!
"I hired you as the general manager. Is it unethical for you to receive a high salary from Huaxia Group and a bribe from Xipinzhai? As an employee of Huaxia Group, is it unethical to cheat on others and join forces with outsiders to scheme against your company? It is unethical and unethical. Yi, do you have the nerve to let me keep you?"
"I run a charity, even if I don't make a profit, my peers won't criticize me. You forgot my identity!"
"I don't need to have a good relationship with Xipinzhai to walk smoothly in the capital. You still forgot my identity!"
"My guests don't need to spend money, suffer losses, and get angry in front of the enemy to cling to the Wang family! You regard them as too humble!"
"My employees don't need to take my salary and accept bribes from others to think about me! You treat your boss so badly!"
Xia Shao smiled so coldly. She has never been so angry since the establishment of Huaxia Group. "Listen, if anyone uses coercion and calculation to force me to join him, I will ruin his reputation first."
At this moment, Xia Shao's voice was gentle, "Starting from you, for the rest of my life, please stay in jail."
Liu Zhou suddenly raised his head and turned pale.
Xia Shao pressed the intercom phone on the table, "Security!"
Liu Zhou was confused and looked at the girl sitting behind the chairman's desk. How could he forget it? He didn't think much about her status as a transcendent person, nor her relationship with the Xu family. He just saw the one million and felt that she would definitely give the Wang family face, and then he got excited...
He looked next to the girl again. The man had a cold and stern aura. As soon as Liu Zhou's eyes met his, he was regarded as dead.
Liu Zhou has always felt that even the Xu family would not choose to antagonize the Wang family due to many considerations. But, look at the two people in front of you, is this really the case
Liu Zhou suddenly felt that he was wrong, very wrong.
The security guards came in quickly. When Liu Zhou was taken away, he was still in a daze and couldn't say a word. All he knew was that his whole life's future was ruined.
The office was quiet, and Zhu Yanlan felt that she had lived half her life and had a lot of experience, but there were rare times like today when she didn't dare to show her anger.
However, Xia Shao's emotions calmed down faster than she imagined. In other words, as soon as Liu Zhou walked out of her sight, she calmed down and waved to her without any further delay.
Zhu Yanlan was stunned, and when she came closer, Xia Shao gave her some instructions. Zhu Yanlan's expression changed frequently when she heard this. She wanted to ask several times if this was really okay? But looking at the calm and calm posture of the girl in front of her, she chose to remain silent. After Xia Shao gave some instructions, Zhu Yanlan hurriedly left to do something.
It wasn't until Zhu Yanlan left and the office became quiet again that Xia Shao's expression darkened again.
She thought about what happened today, Xipinzhai, Wang Zhuo, and Liu Zhou, and suddenly she lost her temper and clenched her fist and slammed it on the table!
"boom!"
There was no sense of pleasure as expected, and even the sound was dull. The sound and feel don't sound like smashing a table.
Xia Shao was stunned, her eyes fell to the table, and then she lost all her energy.
Under her fist, there was a man's big hand, which intercepted it and blocked it between her fist and the table - for fear of hurting her.
Xia Shao raised her eyes to look at Xu Tianyin. The moment she raised her eyes, the man held her hand, pulled her into his arms, and gently stroked her back. Although he only knew this one trick to appease her, he did it much better now and didn't seem stiff.
Xia Shao rested her head on the man's chest, looked at the green military uniform in front of her, smiled, and asked, "Does your hand hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Xu Tianyin still stroked her back, "You don't like Wang Zhuo?"
Xia Shao found this question interesting and asked with a smile: "Of course I don't like him cheating on me. What do you want to do?"
"Kill." Xu Tianyin's breath was cold and harsh for a moment, but after he said it, he felt much better and continued to caress Xia Shao's back.
Xia Shao raised her eyes and looked at Xu Tianyin. She knew that he was not lying. In his eyes, there was no such thing as the fourth young master in the capital, and there was no such thing as a military and political family. He wanted to kill, and he had the means to do so without leaving any trace.
"No need. I told you that I won't let my senior brother bear any more bad karma for me. Have you forgotten?" Xia Shao's eyes were very soft. Ever since the student union incident at Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, she had been frightened. She didn't want him to bear too much burden for her. After all, she still wanted this man to live a good life with her. If she wanted to treat someone like Wang Zhuo, she would have to do it herself.
"I haven't forgotten." Xu Tianyin replied, "But you don't like him."
Xia Shao chuckled, "If I don't like him, you kill him. Then if I like him, what are you going to do?"
Xu Tianyin was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to be really thinking about Xia Shao's love for Wang Zhuo. Xia Shao saw that the man's eyes were bleeding. For a moment, his aura was not cold, but violent like she had never seen before.
Xia Shao was stunned, then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and punched Xu Tianyin in the chest, "Cute! I make you think, but you really think! How is this possible?"
But the man hugged her tightly. It seemed that he was frightened by what he had just thought. He was holding her now as if he was afraid of losing her.
Xia Shao's eyes softened, and she put the ring-wearing hand on Xu Tianyin's waist, "I don't even want to see what it is."
Xu Tianyin stretched out his hand to hold it, looked down at the ring, and felt that the ring he had discovered a few days ago was of little use.
Hmm, maybe, it's still useful
Xia Shao's mood calmed down a lot after being comforted by Xu Tianyin. Huaxia Group is now a big company, and she may encounter people like this in the company in the future, but as long as she discovers this kind of company bug, there will be no way out!
"Okay, let's go down. There are still many things to do." Xia Shao said.
Xu Tianyin nodded, held her hand, and the two of them left the office and took the elevator to the exhibition hall.
But as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Xia Shao felt keenly that something was wrong in the atmosphere in the exhibition hall!
She and Xu Tianyin walked over quickly, and from a distance they saw the crowd running outside the exhibition hall. Inside the exhibition hall, there were only two men standing, pointing guns at each other.
Xia Shao immediately raised his forehead and saw a black line.
Do these two people play this trick every time they meet
