World Tibet Bureau

Chapter 514 Between Offense and Defense
I put out the cigarette butt on the ground and asked, "Do you think you want to kill me?"

Fatty Xiao looked into the distance with a pair of bull's eyes.

He remained silent for a long time.

Xia Xi was a friend he introduced to me.

No one expected that it would end up like this.

When I went to Guangdong Province, the reason why I took Xiaozhu with me instead of Fatty Xiao was that besides arranging another task for Fatty Xiao, I was mainly worried that if Xia Xi and I got into sex in Guangdong Province, Fatty Xiao would be cruel. Don’t give up.

Although this didn't happen.

But judging from Fatty Xiao's current attitude towards Xia Xi, the decision made at that time was correct.

Fatty Xiao was noncommittal and said: "When I was a child, my father would shovel the land, and I would often stay at home alone because I had to go to school. There would always be a mouse running around the room at night. Over time, we became as peaceful as friends. I even feed it with something from time to time, and talk to it for a while when I’m bored.”

"Then one day, I came home from school and found that my father had come back from shoveling the land. He caught the mouse in his hand and tied it with a rope in the corner. He asked me to kill it quickly, skin it, and roast the mouse meat in the evening. Drink."

"Actually, I know in my heart that rats are not good things. They can steal food and bite people. But no matter what, it didn't steal food in front of me or bite me. I still regard it as a friend. Do you think I Will you kill it?"

I said: "Just tell me the result!"

Fatty Xiao replied: "I was very young at that time, and I did something that seems stupid now. I pretended to promise my father to kill the mouse, took it out, found a tree hole outside, and put it in. It was tied inside, and I used my pocket money to go to the market and buy a piece of meat. I then fooled my father into thinking it was rat meat.

"I naively thought that as long as I tied it up, it wouldn't be able to steal food or bite people. From now on, I would go to school and feed it something to eat every day. But the next day, I saw the rope in the tree hole was broken. Yes, it has escaped. I searched around the area and found that when it escaped, it was trapped and died in the pond next to it."

I replied: "You were really stupid back then! What would you do now?"

Fatty Xiao shook his head: "Hahaha! I don't know!"

I smiled and said, "Actually, there is another way. If this mouse is spiritual, you can train it to look after your home!"

Fatty Xiao said: "What if it has no spirituality?"

I replied: "Maybe dying in the mud is the best ending for it!"

Fatty Xiao was stunned for a moment and replied: "I understand."

afternoon.

Lu Cenyin bought a lot of vegetables and brought them over.

Xiaozhu also came back from Hu Sansui.

The four of us were busy in the house.

The scene seemed to return to a year ago.

However, Xu Qing was replaced by Lu Cenyin.

Around six o'clock in the evening.

A table of rich meals has been set.

A glass of wine was filled in front of everyone.

There was also a glass, which was poured to Sister Xu.

I said: "Before eating, please report the situation."

Lu Cenyin was the first to say, "Shopkeeper Song's son has never called me."

"It means that there is no progress at all on my side."

Fatty Xiao said while chewing the meat: "The person you asked me to keep an eye on has not made any movements, and I haven't actually made any progress here." When Lu Cenyin heard this, his beautiful eyes widened: "Xiao Lan these days Are there any other tasks you are hiding from me?"

Fatty Xiao replied with a stern expression: "Of course! Brothers are like brothers and sisters, women are like clothes!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Lu Senyin and Xiaozhu both stared at Fatty Xiao.

Fatty Xiao had no choice but to bury his head in the soup.

I said: "I have a big breakthrough here, the old manager is finally willing to see me!"

Since then.

I explained the situation in detail.

After listening to this, Lu Cenyin frowned: "Why does he insist that we hold a non-governmental exchange meeting?"

I replied: "There are only two purposes. First, these treasures are returned from overseas. The old manager has been coveting them for a long time and is determined to get them. At the folk exchange meeting, I guess he will use some tricks to give these treasures to Get rid of him. Secondly, there are more people at the non-governmental exchange meeting, so it is easier for him to hide his identity and appear, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to me."

Fatty Xiao cursed: "This old bastard is too stupid! Su Zi, we either don't have this meeting, or even if we do, let's just get a batch of fake things to go up!"

I put out the cigarette butt: "No! The meeting must be held. This is an opportunity that I have worked hard to win. The things must also be real. Only when the things are real can the old manager desperately want to take them away. Only then will I catch him!"

Lu Cenyin said: "Su Chen, we would be too passive in this case."

I said: "In the past, the old manager defended and we attacked. This time it's the other way around. We defended with the treasures and he attacked. It was a head-to-head contest."

Xiaozhu said: "Brother, do you have any good ideas?"

I was noncommittal and turned around to ask Lu Cenyin: "Cenyin, has Mr. Xu come back?"

Lu Cenyin said: "I have been in contact with Jinda University, and the feedback is that Mr. Xu will return from abroad next Monday."

I asked: "Mr. Xu will retire after he comes back. Is there any celebration event at Jinda?"

Lu Cenyin replied: "Yes! In fact, as soon as Mr. Xu returned to Jinling from Mangshan, he had been approved to retire. Going abroad for activities was nothing more than a cultural exchange. According to Mr. Xu's own request, after he returned from abroad, Go directly back to the small courtyard in the suburbs and never return to Jinda."

"But the school leaders of Jinda didn't agree and insisted on holding a grand retirement ceremony for him. Mr. Xu refused to do it. The two parties talked back and forth and finally decided to have a unique and small retirement symposium."

I asked again: "What form?"

Lu Cenyin said: "At eight o'clock next Monday evening, several school leaders, teachers from the history department, students, and celebrities in Jinling's antique industry were all sitting in the conference room chatting, drinking tea and reminiscing about the past. I also received a letter from Jinling University. The number of people invited by the leader is about thirty."

"Based on Mr. Xu's prestige and popularity, I speculate that although this is just a retirement symposium, the participants have actually carefully prepared gifts for Mr. Xu. Whether Mr. Xu accepts them or not is another matter. "

I asked again: "What gifts have you prepared?"

Lu Senyin said with a smile: "I prepared a book for Mr. Xu."

Fatty Xiao said: "Miss Lu, you are so stingy. Others give you antiques, but you give me a book."

I guess this book is an only one.

really.

Lu Cenyin rolled her eyes at Fatty Xiao: "My book is an only copy, and its value is not inferior to ordinary antiques. Moreover, Mr. Xu may not accept antiques that are given away, but he will definitely accept this book!"

I nodded and said to them: "Okay! I will set the time and place to meet the old manager at Mr. Xu's retirement symposium!"

When they heard this, they were all dumbfounded.
