Chapter 37: He's obviously rich.

Director Guan, your turn was a bit too abrupt.

As Lin Sicheng was pondering what to say, Hao Jun carried the box out of the jade shop.

"What are you talking about?"

Guan Xingmin said seriously, "We were just chatting casually, and I asked him about his postgraduate entrance exam!"

Beware of fire, theft, and even your own brothers: Rongbaozhai is a legitimate state-owned enterprise, and crucially, it's extremely flexible.

Like Hao Jun: as long as it doesn't involve the company's main business, he doesn't care if he earns a million a day.

Unlike me: if I find a Yuan Shikai silver dollar at Xiaodongmen, I have to report it when I get back.

So, if Hao Jun were to speak up, would Lin Sicheng have to be out of his mind to go to the Municipal Bureau?

He quickly changed the subject, asking, "You got the prayer beads? How much did it cost?"

"Ninety-six thousand? That's incredibly cheap!" Hao Jun grinned from ear to ear. "Let's go to Tang Le Gong (a high-end restaurant in Xi'an)!"

He paused for a moment, then winked at Lin Sicheng: "After dinner, let's go to the themed room (a high-end club in Xi'an). Your senior brother will show you how to learn!"

Guan Xingmin sneered and took out his phone: "Come on, say it again, let Professor Lin hear it too."

"No... you're not going, but you're not letting Lin Sicheng go either?"

Nonsense... Lin Sicheng is going to work for the Municipal Public Security Bureau after graduation, right? Of course, that's still just his imagination, but what if he does?

He knew Hao Jun was just joking, but what if that bastard got drunk one day, and Lin Sicheng got drunk too? On a whim, the two decided to go…

Therefore, we must not allow them even the slightest thought.

"It's alright, I'll go after them and lead the team!" Guan Xingmin nodded. "This is a good opportunity to earn merit!"

Hao Jun chuckled: That's not how you scam people. To be honest, he's never even been there himself.

Lin Sicheng would definitely not accept any offer of a share. But even if he didn't want it, he had to express his gratitude.

He put his arm around Lin Sicheng's shoulder: "It's okay, if Lao Guan doesn't know one day, your senior brother will secretly take you there!"

Lin Sicheng laughed and said, "Forget about the themed rooms, Tang Palace is fine!"

Guan Xingmin shook his head: "That place is only good for dancing, there's not much to eat there, it's better to go to Xi'an Restaurant (a designated reception unit of the provincial government)!"

"Director Guan, we're going to the restaurant, not the provincial government building!"

Guan Xingmin nodded: "That's right, in case we run into a leader and have to salute... then we'll go to Tangyue Palace!"

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked through Xicang West Alley and arrived at North Back Alley.

As soon as he entered the alley, Hao Jun started sneezing again: "This godforsaken place is such a mess, and nobody does anything about it?"

It's really quite chaotic.

Birdcages hung all over the walls, and dog cages lined the streets; you can imagine the smell.

It smelled bad and was noisy, with kittens and puppies popping out every now and then.

Although it's supposed to be a flower and bird market, it's in the city center after all, so why does it look like a breeding farm?

"Knowing it's messy, why did you still park your car here?"

"As long as there's a parking spot, I can park here..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hao Jun's eyes widened: "Holy crap... this dog is so big?"

Lin Sicheng and Guan Xingmin were both stunned: Good heavens, a golden-haired creature, as big as a calf, darted out of a door and charged straight at them.

Hao Jun seemed stunned and remained motionless. Guan Xingmin squatted down on the spot, searching around.

But it would be too late; by the time he found something he could handle, the dog would have already rushed over.

Sure enough, Lin Sicheng pushed off with his hind legs, preparing to kick the dog over, but before he could even lift his front paws, the golden retriever had already rushed in front of him.

Seeing him blocking the road, the dog loosened its grip, and a basin fell down with a clatter.

At the same time, the dog bared its teeth and flicked its head.

Lin Sicheng dodged suddenly, and with a "rip," half of his trouser leg ended up in the dog's mouth.

Before he could deliver a second blow, Lin Sicheng swiftly pressed down on the dog's head and clamped its waist between his legs.

The golden retriever couldn't break free, so it could only thrash around wildly.

I must say, he's quite strong.

Hao Jun's face turned pale: "Old Guan, quick... quick, get your gun out!"

What am I supposed to do?

Even if he wanted to take it, he'd have to have something to offer first.

Guan Xingmin, quick-witted, unbuckled his belt: "Lin Sicheng, hold it tight..."

Upon reaching him, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness you dodged quickly!"

Luckily, it didn't bite, but it tore off half of my pants.

Only then did a voice come from inside the door: "Hehehe... Da Jin, don't run away!"

Then, a woman rushed out.

Wearing an apron, a mask, and carrying a long-handled spoon.

Lin Sicheng immediately guessed that the golden retriever had escaped its cage while the woman was adding food.

The woman ran over, glanced at him, and stared in disbelief: Had he been bitten?

The key point is that these three people clearly weren't ordinary people...

A chill ran down her spine: "No... why did you grab it?"

Lin Sicheng was speechless: If I don't arrest him, Guan Xingmin behind me will get a beating.

It is a Golden Retriever, but it is a breed of dog. It is as fierce as a wolf. If you dare to block its path, it will only peck at you if it is on its way.

The crucial point is that Guan Xingmin was half-squatting; he might have bitten his neck...

He was about to say something, "Tie it up, tie it up, tie it up~"

Perhaps because it couldn't break free and became desperate, its whip-like tail lashed out, making the dog bowl under its buttocks explode with a loud bang.

It looked like a small enamel basin, quite dirty, completely black all over, with only the bottom of the basin showing.

There was a painting being drawn, and the colors were quite vibrant: a circle of green leaves around the perimeter, resembling water lilies, and two goldfish with three tails in the center.

It was quite broken, with dents and pits along the edges, and a lot of porcelain was chipped off the bottom of the basin. Especially the fish tail: black with a hint of purple, and purple with a hint of red.

Lin Sicheng glanced at it casually, then turned around and was suddenly stunned: Enamel is iron-clad porcelain. Even if the porcelain is completely worn away, it will only turn black. How could it be purplish-red?

He turned back, his pupils shrinking slightly: the chipped part didn't look like iron, it looked like... copper?

The key point is that the two goldfish and the circle of water lilies were so swollen, as if they were made of wire...

Haha... Cloisonné enamel?

But that's unlikely, isn't it? It just looks like a dog bowl.

With a slight change of heart, Lin Sicheng slapped the dog's butt and then casually shoved it away.

"Clang!" The dog bowl flipped over, making a crisp, loud noise.

It was filthy and smelly, black and yellow, and I had no idea what kind of mess it was covered in. A few bits of it were peeking out from the bottom of the dog bowl.

No... what kind of luck do I have?

Just as I was secretly wondering what was going on, the woman muttered, "It bit us and we don't care... You're the one who wanted to catch it!"

Hao Jun covered his nose and pointed, saying, "You say you won't take care of it, but whose dog is it?"

“It’s my dog, but if you hadn’t blocked the road, he would have run away. How could he have bitten anyone?”

Hao Jun was so angry he laughed: "Do you own the road too?"

The woman rolled her eyes, still ready to argue, but Lin Sicheng waved his hand: "Has the dog been vaccinated?"

"Of course we hit it, it's a stud dog, isn't it?"

That's good.

Lin Sicheng nodded and pointed at the golden retriever: "Sell or not?"

What?

Hao Jun was stunned, Guan Xingmin was stunned, and the woman was stunned too.

I bit you, and now I feel affection for you?

The woman hesitated for a moment: "Am I a stud dog?"

Lin Sicheng patted the dog's head: "A stud dog is still a dog, so just tell me how much!"

The woman thought for a moment, then looked at the Audi car keys in Hao Jun's hand: "Two thousand!"

"Your dog is inlaid with gold..."

Hao Jun had only managed to utter half a sentence when Guan Xingmin glared at him.

Lin Sicheng had already taken out his wallet: "Go get the rope, and also a dog muzzle."

The woman beamed with joy.

I told you, these three are obviously rich...
