Chapter 426 Really capable!!!
Chapter 426 Really capable!!!
The two soon arrived at the door of their home.
Meng Xuan rang the doorbell, and when the door opened, she saw Mother Meng sticking her head out:
"Xiao Zhuang is here! Please come in."
Meng Xuan rolled her eyes:
"So you only let him in and not me, right?"
Mother Meng responded:
"Who cares about you!"
Then she welcomed Zhuang Zhou into the house with a smile.
I've been here once and we met.
Naturally, there are not so many restrictions.
Zhuang Zhou entered the house and picked up the gift in his hand:
"Auntie, I didn't buy any gifts this time. I just brought some. Please don't mind!"
"Just come, what gift do you want to bring?"
Mother Meng said as she took it and looked at it with some confusion.
Well, very ordinary!
No wonder they say don’t be disgusted!
"Xiao Zhuang, please sit down first. I have something cooking in the pot!"
"Auntie, you are busy!"
After changing into slippers, he looked up and saw Meng Tianxiang waving at him, motioning him to come over and sit down.
I don’t know why, but Zhuang Zhou felt much more relaxed after meeting Meng Tianxiang.
When he came closer, Zhuang Zhou sat on the sofa.
Meng Xuan also poured him a glass of water:
"You guys chat first, I'll go help in the kitchen."
"it is good!"
Zhuang Zhou said politely, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
Then I heard Meng Tianxiang say:
"The Bureau has taken over the matter of the Twelve Golden Dragons. They will be delivered as early as tomorrow morning."
Thinking about this matter, it was thanks to Meng Tianxiang for his advice!
Zhuang Zhou hurriedly thanked him again:
"I'm really sorry to trouble Uncle Meng this time!"
"Don't be so polite. Speaking of which, the leaders of the twelve Golden Dragons in Kyoto also attach great importance to it!"
Zhuang Zhou was stunned. He didn't expect Meng Tianxiang to say that.
He quickly asked:
"Uncle Meng, are you saying that the leaders of Kyoto are also interested in these twelve golden dragons?"
Meng Tianxiang smiled slightly, nodded and said:
“That’s right, these twelve golden dragons are not ordinary cultural relics.
The leaders attach great importance to this recovery work and hope to confirm it as soon as possible and uncover the truth behind the Golden Dragon."
Zhuang Zhou's heart moved.
Finished!
How come the leaders in Kyoto were alarmed?
If this is identified, it will be a real ban on photographing cultural relics.
Wouldn't that mean I've really committed the crime of smuggling cultural relics?
For the crime of reselling cultural relics, he was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from one to two years.
Cultural relics like the Golden Dragon will not be able to escape even if they are capped.
If that was the case, Zhuang Zhou had no choice but to go to Chang'an.
Never come back again.
This is the worst case scenario!
After taking a deep breath, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but ask:
"Uncle Meng, can you tell me what would happen if these twelve golden dragons were really identified as forbidden cultural relics?"
Meng Tianxiang nodded, as if he had already expected Zhuang Zhou to ask this question.
He opened his mouth slowly and asked:
"If it is really forbidden to photograph cultural relics, what are you going to do?"
Zhuang Zhou didn't even want to say:
“I plan to donate it to the country.”
Meng Tianxiang frowned slightly:
"Are you really willing to give it up?"
What else is there to be reluctant about?
We can't completely cut off this road!
So, Zhuang Zhou said righteously:
"Why would I be reluctant to give it up? As long as it is a cultural relic that is prohibited from being photographed, I will do my best to donate it directly."
Meng Tianxiang took a sip of tea and said with a smile:
"If you can have this awareness, things will be easier!
Maybe you can accomplish great things this time."
As he spoke, he stood up from the sofa and saw the gift on the table:
"What did you bring?"
Zhuang Zhou looked over and stood up as well:
"Oh, it's just a small gift, not expensive."
Meng Tianxiang's face darkened slightly:
"Don't bring anything next time, just come."
"Good Le!"
……
The dinner table.
The table is already full of home-cooked dishes.
Meng Tianxiang invited Zhuang Zhou to take a seat and he also sat in the main seat.
Meng Xuan sat next to Zhuang Zhou.
Meng Tianxiang took a bottle and filled a glass for Zhuang Zhou and another for himself.
"It's just a family dinner, so be casual!"
Zhuang Zhou was not polite and said:
"I'm very casual."
They clinked glasses and both drank them in one gulp.
Meng Tianxiang picked up the bottle and poured wine. Seeing this, Meng's mother advised:
"Drink slowly, why are you in such a hurry?"
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of cured pork ribs for Zhuang Zhou:
"Come on, try it!"
"Thank you auntie."
"You're welcome! By the way, Xiaoxuan told me that you opened an antique shop in Qingshui River?"
"Yes."
"After graduating from college, didn't you find a job?"
"I looked for it, but I didn't find anything suitable."
"Oh, how much do you earn per month now?"
Zhuang Zhou was stunned.
How direct!
But that’s it!
For Zhuang Zhou, it’s not that he doesn’t earn much.
But precisely because he earned too much, he didn't dare to say it.
"It's okay! Basic living is no problem."
Mother Meng smiled faintly:
"Our Meng Xuan is now successful. She gave up her job as a doctor and opened a clothing store. She made 180,000 yuan last month. Oh my God!"
When Meng Tianxiang heard what Mother Meng said, he couldn't help but frowned and gently reproached:
“Earning that much money is considered promising?
You should not always measure everything with money."
Mother Meng curled her lips, seeming a little dissatisfied, but did not continue the topic.
She turned to look at Zhuang Zhou and asked curiously:
"Xiao Zhuang, how is your antique shop business?
Are there any particularly interesting collections?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:
“The antique shop business is pretty good.
As for interesting collections, there are so many, and each antique has its own story.”
Meng Tianxiang also interjected:
"Xiao Zhuang, what kind of antiques are you mainly dealing in now?"
"There are so many things here. Jade, wood, collectibles, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and bronzes. My store has them all."
Zhuang Zhou replied.
Meng Tianxiang nodded and then asked:
"Then you should have some knowledge of antique appraisal, right?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled modestly:
"I can't say that I have any accomplishments. I just know a little bit about the basics."
Meng Tianxiang didn't care and said with a smile:
“It’s good for young people to be modest, but they don’t have to be too modest.
The pieces of collection you took to Christie’s auction are all very valuable!
Add it all together, it should be at least one hundred million, right? "
Zhuang Zhou was suddenly asked this question and originally didn't want to answer.
I could only nod and reply:
"more or less!"
Wow!
Mother Meng stopped picking up food with her chopsticks, looked at Zhuang Zhou in great surprise, and asked:
"How can your small antique shop make hundreds of millions?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled and explained:
"Auntie, in the antique business, sometimes a piece of collection can be worth a fortune.
Although the collections in my store are not large, each piece is carefully selected, so the value is naturally higher. "
After hearing this, Mother Meng couldn't help but nodded in praise:
"It seems that you have good vision!
Unlike our Meng Xuan, who insisted on opening a clothing store, I don’t know what she was thinking.”
Hearing this, Meng Xuan couldn't help but pout and retorted:
"Mom, what's wrong with my clothing store?
I'm self-reliant and this is the life I want."
Zhuang Zhou also interjected:
"Auntie, Meng Xuan is really amazing, she dares to think and do.
She has her own ideas and pursuits, and I think we should support her.”
Mother Meng sighed and said nothing more.
But the way he looked at Zhuang Zhou was completely different.
The atmosphere at the dinner table also became relaxed.
