Chapter 58 Don't bother looking, it's fake!
Listening to the explanation on the phone, Lin Man couldn't help but curse himself for being stupid. If Wang Ju could find out the background of these people, how could the National Security Bureau not be able to find out?
If I had come uninvited, the other person might still be sitting in a chair regretting it right now.
It's impossible for them to swagger into the exhibition, appear on their own booth, or trade with them.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly before speaking again: "I will arrange for a factory to produce a machine for you in the shortest possible time."
"Try to go through customs first. If the customs application fails, I'll try to find a solution."
"I'm hanging up now."
Lin Man put the phone in his pocket, turned the car key, and stepped on the gas, leaving the exhibition.
Back at the hotel, he didn't go straight to his room. Instead, he sat in his car, playing with his phone while thinking about who he should talk to and ask Zhang Renhe about his habits.
But after thinking it over and over, he still couldn't think of anyone he should ask.
It's very upsetting that the people around me don't know Zhang Renhe, and those who do know him aren't very familiar with me.
After putting that idea out of his head, he started thinking about what kind of things he should bring to Zhang Renhe's house for dinner.
It's impossible for Zhang Renhe to just carry a bag of fruit. Even if he doesn't care, the people around him will gossip if they see it. These gossips will embarrass Zhang Renhe and imply that he doesn't know how to behave.
When visiting a teacher, they don't even offer to bring anything they can easily carry.
Thinking of this, Lin Man opened the system warehouse and looked at the three jade carvings. He began to consider whether he should use a trick to confuse the real with the fake, betting that Old Zhang would not recognize mutton fat jade.
After all, even Qin Shi Huang had never seen such a large mutton-fat jade statue.
Having made up her mind, Lin Man went upstairs to wash up, changed into a casual look, and then drove off.
I can't carry a statue with me when I go out, so I have to buy a gift box and two boxes of fruit while I'm at it.
After wandering around outside for an afternoon, Lin Man bought a box of durians, found a suitable box and some rags, tied the jade carving up and stuffed it inside, and then drove to the address Zhang Renhe had given him.
The address Zhang Renhe gave was for an old residential area. When they arrived, they parked the car in the underground garage. Lin Man, with a box of jade carvings in his left hand and a box of durians in his right, grinned and headed happily towards the target building.
On the other side, Zhang Renhe was tidying up the kitchen.
The Feast at Hongmen has been prepared; now we are just waiting for the King of Guanzhong to appear.
The doorbell rang at just the right moment, and he quickly left the kitchen and headed to the living room.
As soon as the door opened, Zhang Renhe saw what Lin Man was carrying in both hands.
His gaze swept over the durian in his left hand and naturally settled on the box in his right hand.
He paused for two seconds, then rolled his eyes: "You learn to be bad pretty quickly!"
Despite grumbling, she made way for him, pulling a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placing them on the floor: "Change into these, they're new."
Lin Man placed the durian and the box containing the jade carving next to the shoe cabinet, changed into the shoes Zhang Renhe had given him, opened the box containing the jade carving, revealing the jade carving wrapped in tattered strips of cloth:
"this……"
"I'm not quite sure what your taste is, so these are all I can buy."
"And this jade carving was given to me by our company's external legal counsel."
"He said it was genuine mutton-fat jade. He knew I was coming to see you, so he gave it to me."
The warm yellow light from the stairwell entrance shone on the jade carving, giving it a hazy, ethereal glow and adding to its otherworldly charm.
very nice.
Zhang Renhe squatted down and tapped his fingers lightly: "You need to have a good talk with your legal counsel when you get back. First of all, the mutton fat jade that everyone often talks about is Hetian jade, and it is the best of Hetian jade."
"This kind of top-quality product has extremely high requirements for oiliness, white luster, and fineness."
"Usually they weigh only a few hundred grams, and they are usually carved with landscapes or religious statues. Your carving is quite good. If we only consider the craftsmanship, it should be worth two or three thousand yuan."
"Come on, lend a hand."
After finishing his comments, Zhang Renhe reached out and touched the jade carving. Lin Man assisted him as they moved the jade carving to the balcony and carefully placed it into the aquarium on the balcony.
When you put this thing in an aquarium, the algae in the aquarium sway with the current and glide across the jade carving.
After watching for a while, Zhang Renhe nodded with satisfaction: "This looks much better now."
He turned his head and gently patted Lin Man's shoulder: "Go to the kitchen and serve the dishes."
Once the table was set up, Zhang Renhe handed Lin Man a cup of iced tea. After Lin Man took the tea, he asked in a cold voice:
Do you know the consequences of your actions?
"I know, that's why I've been keeping the line locked. I've even asked for help, but I can't do anything about it. You can't get rich without unexpected windfalls, and you can't get fat without night grazing. With all that mess going on, I can only resort to unconventional tactics." Lin Man replied, picking up a piece of Mapo Tofu and stuffing it into his mouth.
Too much Sichuan peppercorns!
You even know how to block the line, you little rascal.
Zhang Renhe took another sip of his drink: "I remember you majored in Information Engineering?"
"Aside from math problems, people can do anything in a crisis. Unfortunately, I'm not good at math." Lin Man picked up another piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth. The chicken wasn't fresh, and it wasn't free-range.
It's a complete waste of time and money.
Zhang Renhe had been watching Lin Man closely. Noticing the change in his expression, he lowered his voice:
"I'm planning to bring you back to Guangzhou. It'll be more convenient to do things here. I'd like to know your thoughts."
These words gave Lin Man a real headache. If he had heard them before going down to the village, he would have been very happy, but now that he was there...
He gave a wry smile and shook his head in refusal.
"I think I'll stay at the grassroots level! Changing policies every now and then isn't good for you, teacher."
Hearing his refusal, Zhang Renhe gave up on his roundabout approach:
"From now on, when you're out and about, you can say you're my student."
"As for what you did, the province held a special meeting this morning. The basic attitude was that as long as it does not involve technology transfer or enemy military matters, there is no problem."
"As your teacher, I need to do some ideological work with you."
"The province's idea is that it's best to swallow the meat and bones along with the broth, but anyone who uses their brain for a moment knows that's impossible."
"So the soup can be spilled, and some bones can be thrown away, but the meat must be left."
"As for what to do next, although they all say you can do it with confidence, don't really do it with confidence. Just listen to half of what they say and let it go in one ear and out the other."
"Avoid doing things yourself whenever possible. If you absolutely must do something yourself, you should inform others in advance."
"If something goes wrong because you didn't report it, that's overstepping your authority. If you don't weigh it, it's nothing; but once you do, it's a ton or two."
"If something goes wrong after reporting it, that's called being forward-thinking, but it's also called being powerless to reverse the situation."
"Do you understand?"
Lin Man bit down on his chopsticks, sorting through everything Zhang Renhe had said. He realized Zhang Renhe was instructing him on how to do things, so he nodded readily, "Understood!"
