Dream Legend

Chapter 46: The Truth Revealed

Since Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong came to Jihai City, they must go to Mo Yicong's Shenquan Company to take a look. After all, it was the Shenquan Group that sold it to him, and Mo Yicong still owed Wu Shandi's Shenquan Group hundreds of millions of funds. Even if the creditor went to the debtor's company to see his business conditions and examine whether the debtor could repay the creditor's debt. Wu Shandi did not inform Mo Yicong in advance. Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong walked directly into Mo Yicong's office. Mo Yicong was in the office. When he saw Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong coming in, he quickly stood up and greeted them: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Du, why are you here without notifying me in advance so that I could pick you up!" Wu Shandi smiled and said to Mo Yicong: "How dare I trouble you and waste your precious time, Mr. Mo." Mo Yicong felt embarrassed by what Wu Shandi said, and quickly said to Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Du, go to the production workshop to guide our work." Mo Yicong led the way, and Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong followed closely to the production workshop, where they saw the touchstone being made into various pendants and handicrafts, and the Jihai green stone being made into bonsai. Wu Shandi said to Mo Yicong happily: "Mr. Mo, you are really good. You are really a good entrepreneur. The factory is well managed and the economic benefits are also good." Mo Yicong jokingly replied: "I still owe you a lot of debts, Mr. Wu. You see, you are here to collect debts. Don't worry, Mr. Wu, I will pay you back on time every month." Wu Shandi smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Mo, do you really think I am here to collect debts? To tell you the truth, Xiaoyong and I are on a business trip to your Jihai City. Would it be impolite of us not to come and see you, Mr. Mo?" "Mr. Wu and Mr. Du are on a business trip to Jihai City. What kind of business trip are you students on? I think you are skipping classes." Mr. Mo said puzzled. Du Xiaoyong said to Mo Yicong in a serious tone: "Mr. Mo, you don't know that Mr. Wu and I have been transferred to work at the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and we are on a business trip to Jihai City for an investigation." Mo Yicong was very happy after hearing this, and immediately congratulated Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong: "Congratulations to Mr. Wu and Mr. Du for successfully landing ahead of schedule. I will hold a celebratory banquet for you at noon." Wu Shandi immediately rejected Mo Yicong's kindness: "Mr. Mo, thank you for your kindness. We are civil servants now and cannot accept other people's invitations to dinner. What's more, we have a high-speed train at 11 o'clock, and we are too late in time." Mo Yicong went to the warehouse and took out a box of touchstone pendants and gave them to Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong as a souvenir.

Fan Cheng kept looking at the clock and the door of the high-speed railway station waiting hall, anxiously waiting for Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong, worried that they would miss the high-speed train. Fan Cheng was about to call Wu Shandi when he saw Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong appear at the door of the waiting hall, and Li Xiaoming and Li Xiaobai waved to them. Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong quickly walked up to Fan Cheng, and Wu Shandi said to Fan Cheng: "Director Fan, Du Xiaoyong and I just went to see a friend who makes pendant crafts. He gave me a few sets of pendants. These two sets of pendants are for you." As he spoke, he took out two sets of touchstone pendants from the box and gave them to Fan Cheng. Fan Cheng took the pendants and looked at them, and his face immediately changed and asked Wu Shandi: "Chief Wu, such valuable things are given away as a gift. We are civil servants and cannot accept or give valuable gifts. This is a violation of discipline and law. You must return these touchstone pendants today." Wu Shandi knew that Fan Cheng was a little angry and did not dare to say anything. Du Xiaoyong quickly explained to Fan Cheng: "Director Fan, these touchstone pendants were bought by Chief Wu and me. We came to Jihai City to buy some commemorative items. Things, touchstone is the business card of Jihai City, so I bought some touchstone pendants. "Fan Cheng was half-believing and half-doubting, but he still insisted to Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong: "You bought such expensive things, it's not okay to give them to me, it's a mistake. You must remember your identity." Du Xiaoyong picked up a set of touchstone pendants and said to Fan Cheng with a smile: "Such a beautiful item, Director Fan doesn't want to own a set. Since Director Fan said that it can't be given as a gift, then Director Fan can also buy it." Seeing Du Xiaoyong's look, Fan Cheng couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said to Du Xiaoyong: "Du Xiaoyong, if you can't give it as a gift, then force it to sell. Okay, I'll sell a set, how much is a set?" "If Director Fan wants to buy it, I will definitely give the best price, and sell it at the same price as I bought it, two thousand yuan a set." Du Xiaoyong answered cleverly. Fan Cheng transferred the money to Du Xiaoyong while taking the touchstone pendant. Li Xiaoming, Li Xiaobai and Wang Jin all expressed their desire to buy, which made Du Xiaoyong feel embarrassed. He originally wanted to give them free gifts, but without Fan Cheng's intervention, he turned from giving away free touchstone pendants into selling touchstone pendant products. Du Xiaoyong himself felt embarrassed and thought he had made a fool of himself. Now he decided to make the best of a bad situation and start selling them. Li Xiaoming, Li Xiaobai and Wang Jin each bought a touchstone pendant. This result was unexpected for Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong.

On the high-speed train, Fan Cheng sat next to Wu Shandi. Fan Cheng asked Wu Shandi in a low voice: "I heard that the Shenquan company in Jihai was originally yours, and now it has been sold to Mo Yicong. Am I right?" Wu Shandi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard this. His past had been investigated clearly by Fan Cheng, so he had no choice but to answer honestly: "Director Fan, everything you said is true." Fan Cheng patted Wu Shandi on the shoulder and said: "Don't be nervous. This is your past, and I won't ask about it. But now that you have entered our unit, you must abide by the discipline. Our unit has clear rewards and punishments. In view of your and Du Xiaoyong's outstanding performance at work, the bureau plans to reward each of you with a car." Wu Shandi knew what Fan Cheng meant, and he also knew that he could not hide anything from Fan Cheng's eyes. Treating each other with sincerity is one of everyone's principles of life. On the high-speed train, voices came from far and near: "Instant noodles, ham, fast food, melon seeds, mineral water..." At a little after noon, hearing this hawking voice woke up people's stomachs and stimulated their taste buds. Fan Cheng was no exception. He quickly ordered five fast food meals and five bottles of mineral water, one for each of the five people.

Wu Shandi, Du Xiaoyong and others returned to the courtyard. Wu Shandi recalled what Fan Cheng said on the high-speed train. It seemed that he knew everything about his past. Standing in front of Fan Cheng, he was like a transparent body without any secrets. Wu Shandi found Du Xiaoyong and told him what Fan Cheng said on the high-speed train. Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong agreed to find some time to confront Fan Cheng and tell him about their past.

Wu Shandi asked Fan Cheng to have tea in the teahouse in the evening. Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong arrived at the teahouse early, ordered a private room, ordered a pot of Pu'er tea and some snacks, waiting for Director Fan to come. Wu Shandi was waiting for Fan Cheng at the door of the teahouse. Fan Cheng arrived on time. Wu Shandi brought Fan Cheng to the private room and asked Fan Cheng to sit down. Du Xiaoyong made tea for Fan Cheng. The aroma of Pu'er filled the air and filled his nose. Fan Cheng picked up the teacup and smelled and drank it, muttering: "What a good smell, good tea." Fan Cheng looked up at Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong and said: "You two didn't just ask me to have tea today, did you?" Wu Shandi didn't need to pretend, and said straight to the point: "Director Fan, today I want to talk to you about my past. I know you know my background, but there are some things that you must have heard for the first time." Fan Cheng nodded, smiled and said to Wu Shandi: "Student Wu, you hide it well enough. To be honest, you joined our unit because of your extraordinary ability, and everything else is It is secondary. Of course, you must treat everyone equally in front of your colleagues. You must not let your colleagues think that you, Wu Shandi, can be special. You don't have to be restrained in private. You can say anything. You all understand what I mean. "Wu Shandi nodded and began to tell Fan Cheng everything from his disappearance on campus to his adventure in Kunlun Mountain, from the necklace to cultivation, from obtaining black meteorites to testing golden meteorites, Jihai green stone jade seed materials, etc., from opening the Shenquan Company to selling the Shenquan Company. Fan Cheng didn't know about Wu Shandi's adventure in Kunlun Mountain and the private collection of two black and yellow meteorites. Other things were no secret. Fan Cheng wanted Wu Shandi's superpowers. It was impossible to manage other staff like this. Wu Shandi resigned when he was forced to do so. It was too easy to make money with Wu Shandi's ability. Fan Cheng knew that Wu Shandi came to work at the Cultural Relics Bureau not for money or fame, but to use his superpowers to benefit the country and the people. Fan Cheng knew it was time for him to express his opinion. He glanced at Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong, picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, then said to Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong: "I will not interfere with your past affairs, nor will I interfere with your private affairs, but you should do what you should do in front of your colleagues, and you should keep your own private affairs confidential."

Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong listened to Fan Cheng's words and knew Director Fan's painstaking efforts. Anyway, they had told him all their details without any reservation. Only by being honest can you make close friends! We must not let Director Fan down. Wu Shandi confessed everything about himself, and felt relaxed instead. He no longer had to wear a mask to communicate with Fan Cheng and his colleagues.

After leaving the teahouse, Fan Cheng invited Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong to go to the night market, to see the life in the market, to experience the atmosphere of commerce. On the streets of the night market, there are stalls selling snacks, fruit, barbecue, candied haws, and antiques. There is everything, and the flow of people is bustling and lively. Fan Cheng, Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong shuttled among the crowd. Fan Cheng pointed at several stalls selling antiques and said to Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong: "Most of the stalls selling antiques nowadays are selling fake antiques. If you sell fake antiques for tens or hundreds of yuan, it is still a normal business. What's hateful is to pass off fakes as real ones. They insist on saying that a fake bowl is a cockfighting bowl from the Zhengde period and sell it for hundreds of thousands of yuan. This is fraud. Peng Xin's father was badly cheated by these fake antiques and even lost his house." Wu Shandi knew about Peng Xin's father and felt sympathetic but also hateful. He was deceived again and again, which showed that his father was also possessed by the devil. Wu Shandi said to Fan Cheng: "Why is no one in charge of selling fake antiques openly?" "It's not that no one is in charge, but it's hard to get evidence." Fan Cheng shook his head helplessly and said, "He argued that he was selling crafts imitating antiques, and crafts imitating antiques are allowed to be bought and sold. The problem is that they often commit crimes in gangs. Someone first lures others to take the bait on the street, and then in front of the baited people, they stage a good show of buying antiques at high prices, so that the baited people are deceived step by step." Wu Shandi told Fan Cheng that he and Du Xiaoyong had also encountered such a thing in Jihai City. Fan Cheng also told Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong: "Recently, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the public security organs have jointly cracked down on the crime of using fake antiques to deceive people at high prices. Guide the normal and orderly development of the antique market." Wu Shandi took over and said: "The Guchang Market was originally a market for the exchange and circulation of national cultural heritage. Now it has been made so chaotic. This is too wrong." Du Xiaoyong also echoed.

Fan Cheng waved his hand to Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong to his side and whispered to them: "The comrades from the Public Security Bureau are guarding around here tonight. You two are from other places. How about you pretend to buy antiques to lure the snakes out of their hole?" Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong said in unison: "No problem." After that, Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong walked and observed which stall might be the one that was scamming people. The two of them pretended to buy antiques. They looked left and right at an antique stall and picked and chose. Du Xiaoyong deliberately said, "These goods are worthless. There are no good ones." Wu Shandi pretended to be confused and said, "I think this bowl is very good. It has an antique style." Du Xiaoyong replied loudly, "This bowl is very good, but it's too cheap and doesn't match my worth." Wu Shandi immediately stopped Du Xiaoyong: "Brother, don't be so loud. Don't you know that you should not show off your wealth? You are such a rough guy. You have a lot of money but are stupid." The stall owner heard the conversation between Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong and knew that they were outsiders. He whispered to them, "Brothers, I see you are not locals. If you want to buy good goods, the price is quite high. I don't have them here, but the second stall in front has them." The stall owner pointed to the second stall in front. Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong walked in the direction the stall owner pointed and came to the second stall in front. There were still several people picking out antiques at this stall. Play, one of the men asked the stall owner: "How much is this blue and white porcelain?" The stall owner replied: "Three hundred thousand, authentic blue and white porcelain of Emperor Kangxi." When the other man heard it, he immediately said to the stall owner: "Three hundred thousand, I want this blue and white porcelain." After that, he came over to grab the blue and white porcelain, but the man was not willing to give it, and shouted: "I offer three hundred and ten thousand." Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong exchanged glances, and Du Xiaoyong said loudly: "Brothers, don't argue, I offer three hundred and fifty thousand, what do you think, stall owner?" A man looked at the stall owner and shouted: "I want three hundred and eighty thousand." Du Xiaoyong smiled slightly and said to the man: "Three hundred and eighty thousand, don't buy it at a loss." The man said: "This is authentic blue and white porcelain of Emperor Kangxi, in good condition, with Kangxi's signature underneath, and there is still a lot of room for appreciation. It will definitely be worth five or six hundred thousand in two years." Du Xiaoyong knew it was a fake at a glance. If he didn't negotiate the price and the transaction, there would be insufficient evidence and it would be a waste of effort. Du Xiaoyong said to the stall owner: "I will make a final offer now. If you are willing to sell it, sell it. If you are not willing to sell it, forget it. How about 400,000 yuan?" The two men heard Du Xiaoyong's offer and did not argue. They watched the transaction quietly. The stall owner nodded and said: "400,000 yuan is a deal." After selling the blue and white porcelain to Du Xiaoyong, Du Xiaoyong asked how to pay. The stall owner took out a QR code for Du Xiaoyong to scan.

At this time, Fan Cheng came over. In the bustling antique market, Fan Cheng slowly strolled, and his eyes were attracted by the blue and white porcelain on a stall. The blue and white porcelain shone with deep blue, with delicate glaze and exquisite patterns, and was obviously worth a lot of money. Seeing this, the stall owner immediately introduced it with a smile: "This is blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, worth 400,000 yuan, and it has been bought by this gentleman." When Fan Cheng heard this, he was delighted and asked quickly: "Are there any other blue and white porcelains that are exactly the same as this one?" The stall owner smiled and pointed to several stalls next to him and said: "I have a few more at home, but there are no more on the stall, but there should be some in other stalls." When Fan Cheng heard this, he hurriedly said loudly: "Good, very good!" As soon as the voice fell, the plainclothes police officers around quickly surrounded him and arrested all the stall owners who were suspected of cheating. It turned out that Fan Cheng was a plainclothes policeman, and his goal was to crack down on these illegal vendors.

The operation was a complete success. The Cultural Relics Bureau and the public security department successfully captured a group of illegal vendors and protected the rights and interests of consumers. They left the market and continued to guard justice and order in the prosperous city.
