Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

"Brother Dong, this is too ostentatious. Can you change to a regular car?"

I still want to keep a low profile.

Boss Dong smiled and said, "You can't be too low-key."

"In these turbulent times, only by displaying your heroic qualities can you intimidate others and win their support!"

Seeing that I was confused, he pulled me to sit down.

"To become bigger and stronger, you have to gather people. Only with more people can you accomplish great things!"

"Raise a few teams. You'll be responsible for finding dragon points, and let your men do the other dirty, tiring, and dangerous work. Just pay them for what they dig up."

"For example, those bad boys just now can be hired as laborers to help you do the dirty and tiring work."

"Once we become stronger, we can form a society or something, monopolize your tomb-robbing business, and then we'll be prosperous!"

Boss Dong talked a lot.

I have to say, what he talked about was quite advanced.

Just treat tomb robbing as an assembly line operation.

Later, large-scale tomb-robbing gangs basically operated according to the model he described.

The boss behind the scenes pays for it.

His subordinates include those who specialize in finding and locating tombs, those who dig holes and blast, those who go into tombs to retrieve treasures, and those who spread soil, carry out logistics, supervise and do other various tasks.

Except for the permanent personnel for tomb locating and hole drilling and blasting, the others are temporary hired teams who are paid and dismissed immediately after the work is completed.

Having everyone perform their duties is not only efficient but also minimizes various risks.

As for the monopoly he mentioned, it later evolved into a high-end version of collusion between black and white.

I smiled bitterly.

I do want to become bigger, stronger and more glorious, but I don’t have the ability to rob tombs!

All these gold and jade artifacts were obtained by luck.

By the way, I still have that fake night pearl with me.

Do you want to show it to Boss Dong?

I hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea.

I always feel that the fake night pearl might not be simple.

Letting Professor Zhang take a look first might be a better option.

At this moment, Zhang Nan's figure involuntarily appeared in my mind.

My heart was burning with desire to see her.

"Brother Dong, I want to go to Northwestern University first..."

"No problem. I'm borrowing the car for a day. Just tell the driver where you want to go."

As he was speaking, the phone rang.

The driver called from the front desk and said he had arrived.

I left Cui Hao behind and asked him to go to the bank with Boss Dong to handle the money matters.

The largest denomination at that time was ten yuan.

Fifty thousand yuan requires five thousand bills, which are too big for our bags.

The best option is to open a bank account and deposit the money into it.

We came to the lobby.

The driver, dressed neatly, bowed and greeted us: "Hello, I am the driver of the provincial ceremonial motorcade."

Boss Dong shook hands with the driver and took out a Zhang Da Tuanjie banknote and handed it to him.

"It's been a lot of hard work for you to come with me, brother. This little bit of labor fee is not a token of respect."

"This cannot be accepted."

Boss Dong stuffed the money directly into his pocket.

"We all tip in Hong Kong. You have to accept it."

"Thank you then."

The driver held the money in his pocket, his face beaming with joy.

Watching this scene, I learned another trick from Boss Dong.

Be easy-going when dealing with others, and be natural when giving money and gifts.

We should not be arrogant or look down on small people.

Just enough to make people feel refreshed.

It is true that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.

Traveling thousands of miles is not as good as meeting countless people.

"The car is at the door, please."

The driver politely led the way.

A brand new GAZ car with a golden flying deer logo on the front was parked at the entrance of the building.

Cars were a rarity back then.

Leaders usually ride in 212 jeeps.

Those who are of higher status ride in domestically produced Shanghai sedans.

A higher level is the imported GAZ car or Hongqi car.

The driver opened the rear door and raised his hands to protect the top of the door.

I got into the car with a pounding heart.

There is an unreal feeling.

It seems like all this is a dream.

The car started slowly and I looked outside through the window.

I saw the five fellow travelers squatting not far away.

They should be prepared to continue to pester and ask to join the gang and become disciples.

But I didn't expect that I would get into the car.

At this moment, everyone opened their mouths and stared at me in great surprise.

"Driver, let's go to Northwestern University first."

"Ok."

The car drives very steadily.

Thanks to the pass for the courtesy car, we drove into the Northwest Family Quarters without any hassle.

The car stopped in front of the address left by Zhang Nan.

As soon as I got off the bus, I heard a scream.

"Wow wow wow!"

"Nannan, look quickly, is your lover looking for you?"

"Ai Wuzhuang! Don't be fooled by the ivory in your mouth. Where can I find my love brother?"

"At the Minsheng store, you were holding someone's hand lovingly and writing love poems on their palms. I saw it all."

"That's not a love poem, it's an address!"

I looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhang Nan and the big-eyed beauty.

Zhang Nan also saw me, and his face was instantly filled with surprise.

"Stone...brother."

"Hehe, I thought it was your beloved brother who came." Ai Wuzhuang was watching the fun without any fear of trouble.

Zhang Nan rolled her eyes at her and introduced me: "My roommate is Ai Wuban. The Ai in Ai Cao, the one who loves weapons more than red dresses."

"Hello, Sister Ai." I said stiffly.

Ai Wuzhuang blinked his big eyes.

He looked at me, then at the GAZ car next to him.

"I didn't realize, brother, you actually came here by car. Are you planning to get a luxury car like this for our beautiful Zhang Nan?"

"The car is borrowed..."

I was about to explain, but Ai Wuzhuang looked like he understood.

"You're quite capable. You can even lend me a GAZ sedan."

"Looking at the license plate, it looks like a provincial car. Your family must have some connections in the provincial government."

Zhang Nan looked puzzled.

She heard from Professor Zhang about my family's situation.

He is a genuine peasant with mud legs.

Borrowing a car from the provincial government is simply a fantasy.

"Sister Nan, this is the car my boss borrowed."

"My boss is a Hong Kong businessman. He needed a car for work these past two days, so he borrowed one from the provincial ceremonial fleet."

I got anxious and told a half-truth.

Zhang Nan nodded calmly: "Are you here to see my father? Let's talk at home."

Ai Wuzhuang blinked mischievously.

"You two, brother and sister, finally get to see each other again. I won't be a third wheel in the middle."

"Take good care of your beloved brother. I'm going back first."

Looking at her back as she jumped away, Zhang Nan covered his forehead helplessly.

"This outspoken fellow, I just hope she stops talking nonsense."

"Sister, have I caused you trouble?" I was very nervous.

Ai Wuzhuang said that I was Zhang Nan’s younger brother, which made me very happy.

But I was afraid of causing trouble to Zhang Nan.

"No trouble, let's go home first."

Zhang Nan took me into her house.

The two-bedroom, one-living room room of over 60 square meters is filled with books.

They are all kinds of history books.

"Sit down, make yourself at home."

"My dad is out of town for a seminar and won't be back until Friday."

"Have you decided to be an auditor?"

Zhang Nan said as he handed over the cup of water.

When I took the cup of water, my fingertips touched hers.

Just a moment of contact made my heart feel numb, as if I had been electrocuted.

"Why is your face still red? Are you embarrassed by what Ai Wuzhuang said?"

As she turned around, her black silky hair fluttered.

The slightly loose dress fluttered and wrapped around her body, revealing her flawless figure.

The fluttering skirt vaguely revealed a pair of jade-white legs, which made my mouth dry and my cheeks flushed.

Hot blood rushed into my brain with impulse, and I had the urge to hug her tightly.

"I, I, my face is not red."

He stammered out an excuse.

I feel like I can't control myself anymore.

I have to find a topic to divert my attention.

"Sister, I have a question to ask you."

"What does a night-shining pearl look like?"
