Shi Zhuoqu couldn't see through Chu Qianli. She looked at her smiling face and idleness, wandering around her companions all the time, but she just picked up her work certificate as an expert, so she didn't know her true skill level.
Shi Zhuoqu laughed: "This is not good."
Chu Qianli was quite enthusiastic: "Why not? Aren't you single?"
Shi Zhuoqu: "...not really."
Chu Qianli smiled and said: "That's the end, let's chat casually, what did you study abroad? What hobbies do you usually have? Do you work in an auction agency every day?"
Shi Zhuoqu declined: "I don't usually work in the imperial capital."
The subtext is that it is impossible to accept a matchmaker.
"Which city is that? Auction agencies should be on the front line, right? Now there seems to be a settlement policy when you come back from studying abroad?"
"… Ok."
Shi Zhuoqu took the initiative to ask Chu Qianli about talking about Muxing's unit. He originally wanted to find out the details of the two, but he didn't expect to directly poke a hornet's nest, and was asked by Chu Qianli like a cannonball.
She laughed and talked nonsense, and she could talk about everything in the world.
Tan Muxing bowed in embarrassment, like a parent who takes care of a child, silently apologizing for the brat's talk, which made Shi Zhuoqu unable to lose his temper.
Shi Zhuoqu didn't dare to reply hastily, so he had to find an excuse to leave: "I'm going to see Master Mei."
Tan Muxing watched Shi Zhuoqu go away, he was sure that there was no one around, so he asked, "What's wrong with this person?"
Chu Qianli would not pester people to ask questions for no reason, there must be a reason.
Chu Qianli rubbed his chin and thought about it: "I can't say it, it feels strange. I probably haven't seen him, but I just want to confirm the name."
"I've told you before, but sometimes I can't make up my mind, and the surrounding information is pouring in, and I can't control it at all." Chu Qianli stretched out her finger, she nodded her head, and explained, "It's like Ru Z My sister will have a premonition when she is unlucky, and some people have a vague feeling of deja vu when they see a scene."
Some people call it the external inspiration of divination, and scientific explanation is the ability to accurately capture key information from the outside world. A powerful fortune-teller seems to have instincts, and even conditioned reflexes.
"What's wrong with him?"
"I don't know, but knowing the name and place of work will help you be prepared." Chu Qianli looked down at the business card, "But this is the first time I've seen someone working in an auction agency."
Shi Zhuoqu should be regarded as a son of a rich family, but it is really strange that he does not run a business or start a business, but works in an auction agency.
Tan Muxing took the business card from her hand, he saw the name of the auction house, and exclaimed, "It's actually Qiao Jiade."
Chu Qianli's eyes were dazed: "What is that?"
Tan Muxing explained patiently: "The world-renowned auction company existed before World War II. They have offices in dozens of countries around the world and regularly hold multiple auctions every year. I remember that they should be ranked among the top auction houses in the world. Three."
"I don't even know the top three in the world." Chu Qianli was confused and said with emotion, "Xing Xing, you always talk about such topics that the proletariat can't understand."
Talking about Evening Star often brings out some cold knowledge, especially in the areas of rare jewelry and expensive works of art.
"No, because it happened that I went to Qiao Jiade's auction with my family..." Tan Muxing blushed slightly, "And Qiao Jiade is special, so I remember it better."
Chu Qianlisi and her friend's family said bluntly, "Could it be that the items at this auction are particularly expensive?"
"That's okay." Tan Muxing scratched his head, "Or we can say that there are more types of auction items. Behind the Qiaojiade Auction House is a huge consortium with a very wide network and a lot of things."
"The consortium? Is it richer than your family?"
Tan Muxing smiled wryly: "Of course, our family is fine, not to mention the consortium, which is world-class."
Chu Qianli: "?"
Chu Qianli had a delicate expression, and complained: "Look into my eyes, and say 'it's okay' again?"
Tan Muxing held up his business card, pointed at the logo on the lower right corner, and excused himself awkwardly: "But it's really nothing compared to this."
Shi Zhuoqu's business card not only has the trademark of Qiaojiade Auction Company, but also the logo of the family consortium it is backed by. A snake coiled around the apple, forming a meandering shape, leaving a pale gold mark.
According to Tan Muxing, this is the symbol of the Monderson family. To use the exaggerated description in the novel, it is indeed the lifeblood of the world economy, and even has close ties with banks and enterprises in many countries.
Of course, the information of members of the Monderson family is basically not released to the outside world, but the few exposed in the past have left traces on the world's richest list.
The Monderson family owns a large amount of land and real estate overseas so far, and may even participate in the infrastructure construction of some small countries, which is unimaginable in China.
Tan Muxing: "This kind of family consortium is involved in too many businesses, and it is impossible for our country to exist."
No matter how rich the Tan family is, it is still under management, and it is impossible to intervene in an industry that shakes the foundation of the country. It is fundamentally different from the Monderson family consortium.
In a sense, the Monderson Consortium is above some countries, and its sphere of influence spreads all over the world.
"Socialism is better!" Chu Qianli said with a smile, "Xingxing should also serve the people and build railways."
Tan Muxing: "...you also need to cultivate."
The two were chatting, Mei Ru Z came back after paying the final payment, and asked curiously: "What are you talking about? It feels so lively."
Chu Qianli put away the business card, she never mentioned the red line, and responded obediently: "I just learned some knowledge that is useless in a socialist country."
Mei Ru Z didn't ask any more questions after hearing the words, she was in a good mood now, and said boldly: "I just finished paying the money, and I have a good meal tonight, I treat you!"
"After all, it's my first time hiring a friend, so I have to go through the process anyway." Meiru Z said happily, "I seem to have changed my luck, and the future will be fine."
The two rescued Meiru Z. Now that the contract is completed and they don't need to fly out of town, it is indeed worth celebrating.
Mei Ru Z treated Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing as children at first, but now she really wants to make friends, and she doesn't insist on a deadline for San Qingling's return.
During dinner, Meiru Z said generously while ordering: "This is handed down from my family, and I don't usually use it very much. Just keep it carefully, and just return it after studying it."
Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing hurriedly thanked each other, and said that they would share the results of their work together.
In the hotel, after Shi Zhuoqu had finished dealing with Shi Tuyi and the others, he came to a quiet corner where no one was around, and still reported what happened to him.
"Specifically asking about your Chinese name? Do you still want to know which characters it is?"
"Yes, but I still said it, mainly because they have been in contact with my family members, and it is impossible to hide their names." Shi Zhuoqu added, "It is said that there is one who studies Ziwei Doushu."
Shi Zhuoqu knew the power of a master of spells, and he couldn't tell others the horoscope of his birth date, especially the most important hour and minute.
"Generally speaking, it's useless to study Zi Weiguang to know the name, unless you reveal other information."
"...she's asking a little too much, I'm not sure now."
Chu Qianli bombarded him with questions, Shi Zhuoqu didn't know which ones were included in the hexagram and which ones were not, so he naturally had lingering fears. He didn't know if the other party was trying to test him, or if he was born with a lot of chatter.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, it is enough to know that Meiru Z has one in his hand. It is nothing more than a question of how much it costs. Now three have been found overseas, and we have taken back two. The remaining one is in the hands of a British occult researcher. He temporarily Not willing to sell."
"But he is indeed quite capable. I have negotiated with him not long ago, and he can be involved. There are more masters in China, and there must be some who are not short of money. If it is not possible, let them join. After all, just find seven things No use, you have to find someone who can use it."
"There should be more in mainland China. Since you are known by them, don't talk to Meiru Z anymore. Go back to the Auction House in City A to find out the whereabouts of the remaining pieces. I have already asked people to return the recovered collection. The information will be sent to your email, and you can use it as a reference.”
Shi Zhuoqu whispered: "Okay, I'm sorry, this time I was negligent and let you down."
"Don't blame yourself. These things all originated from an ancient civilization. China has a long history, and it is normal for hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
After Shi Zhuoqu's report was over, he opened his mailbox to check the information, and clicked on the email named New Era. The mail is divided into two parts, and there are four collections in total. The first two are recovered collections, and the last two are marked with the holders. One is the red crystal pendulum of a British occult researcher, and the other is Meru Z. Sanqingling.
The era, country and background culture of each collection have nothing to do with each other, the only thing in common is the special red gemstone. Qiaojiade Auction House collected various materials and named it the New Era Series. It is estimated that there are seven pieces in the complete set.
Shi Zhuoqu has been working at Qiaojiade headquarters overseas. His main purpose of returning to China is to find the New Era collection, and maybe he will also participate in the follow-up New Era project.
In the office building, Chu Qianli lived a busy and stable life. She has not been sent on a business trip recently, and she mainly helps with various documents in the office.
She and Tan Muxing originally thought that returning to Beijing would allow them to stay at school for two more days, but who would have expected that there would be a flood of new jobs, and other members of the expert team would feed back a lot of information from other places.
The expert team was formed by Pan Yicheng. In addition to Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing, there were other people who communicated through the religious association. Everyone is scattered along the project construction line, collects detailed information on the spot separately, and then summarizes them for the team to discuss together.
Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing worked here, and through the project, they also met many people from other sects, including Taoists and monks, who came here as consultants.
Chu Qianli's recent daily life is studying, working, researching red crystal props and engaging in workplace bullying (?).
In the office, Tan Muxing honestly binds the documents, ushering in another day of chaos.
After a while, there were screams in the room, and Yu Yu's mournful voice came: "Talking about Mu Xing, you don't care, you just let her win like this every day!?"
Tan Muxing was suddenly named, so he said: "Brother Yu, I already told you not to bet with her..."
Yu Yu is also a member of the expert team. He is a certified Taoist priest of the Zhengyi school, but he never wears Taoist robes, and always wears cool trendy clothes. When he first came here, he was a little bit ostentatious, relying on his ability to pinch and count, he didn't pay attention to high school students anyway, so he seemed a bit embarrassed.
But in Chu Qianli's life, the most despised person who pretends to be more than himself!
They're all done pretending, so she doesn't have to pretend
Not long after, Chu Qianli slapped Yu Ge on the ground by fortune-telling. She was not good at other things, but she was good at persecuting her colleagues, so she directly used magic spells to beat Yu Ge!
The two of them have been betting every day recently, and the loser is either invited to dinner or given a red envelope.
Yu Ge has never won a game so far. He finally thought about it today, and said in amazement: "No, this is not right. If this continues, I will spend money on the project. I shouldn't think about it..."
Seeing that her opponent wanted to run away, Chu Qianli hurriedly chased after her, and said aggressively, "I can't afford to lose, are you repudiating your debt?"
"I can't afford to lose, I just can't afford to lose..." Yu Ke smashed his can, he dodged behind Tan Muxing, and said dissatisfiedly, "Tan Muxing, look at her, look at her!"
Tan Muxing saw the two of them circling around him, and asked in confusion, "... what are you looking at?"
Yu Ge was full of complaints: "You just watch her bully her colleagues? You two belong to the same family, don't you care about her!?"
"Ah, this..." Tan Muxing blushed and said in a stiff voice, "...it doesn't seem to belong to me."
Tan Muxing didn't know where Yu Ge had misunderstood, and seemed to think that it was his job to take care of Chu Qianli.
"Brother Yu, you haven't seen the situation clearly yet." Chu Qianli put her hands on her hips when she heard Yu Ge's complaint, and the villain said, "There are three people in this room, we belong to our family, so you are the only one left." You can bully!"
If she didn't have a helper in the room, how could she dare to be so reckless.
Tan Muxing: "..." What a villain to speak
