Coming out of the director's office, Zhao Shan felt like he was dreaming. All the science fiction movies he had seen before flashed through his mind. The moment he saw the MiLi tracker, he felt as if he was in a science fiction movie.
He was still sighing after a long while, "Oh my god, has our country's technology and military really gotten this far? If a tracker alone is this amazing, what about the other stuff?"
"Shh," Wen Qianqian reminded him softly, "Keep it a secret."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shan immediately put his hand to his lips and made a gesture to keep quiet, but after thinking about it, he still felt an uncontrollable itch in his heart.
He was so excited that he couldn't suppress it, so he lowered his voice as much as possible: "How did you convince the director to lend you such an awesome thing?"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. This thing is just too awesome!"
He had already turned on the tracking device and connected it to his phone. Every time he took a step, he would see the cursor on the phone move, reflecting the real-time movement. The speed was extremely fast and there was no lag at all.
He was having a lot of fun playing with his cell phone.
Wen Qianqian smiled and said, "It didn't take much convincing. We are serving the country. As long as it's truly needed, how can the company not do its best?"
Zhao Shan thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, that's true."
Then it dawned on me: "Oh, so the bureau doesn't lend me the good stuff because they think I'm making a fuss with it, meaning I'm unworthy?"
“Ahhhhhh, I feel like I’m being discriminated against.”
Wen Qianqian quickly smiled and comforted: "How can you not be worthy? You are Captain Zhao, the most important person in our bureau. You are already capable of leading a team at such a young age. You are awesome."
"Thank you for the compliment. I feel the same way." Zhao Shan regained his usual composure. "I'm different from you and Pei You. You are geniuses, and I'm a talent. There's a gap between us, and there's a gap in talent. I don't need to compete with you."
After saying that, he glanced at Wen Qianqian and then at the tracker: "Now that we have the artifact, what should we do next? We can't just go to the treasure appraisal empty-handed, right?"
Wen Qianqian smiled slightly: "The next step, of course, is to bring the baby to your door."
Zhao Shan was curious: "Where did this treasure come from? Did you go to borrow it?"
She nodded: "Yes, I'll take care of it."
Lu Group President's Office.
Lu Xingyan had just finished a meeting and hurried back to the office. Before he could even sit down, he saw Assistant Yuan approaching with a seemingly calm, but clearly stifling smile on his face. "Hello, Mr. Lu. Your wife is waiting for you downstairs."
Lu Xingyan looked up: "Madam? What Madam?"
Assistant Yuan looked at him with a "you know" expression on his face: "It's Madam."
Lu Xingyan gritted his teeth, feeling that Assistant Yuan was asking for a beating again. "Go away, I don't have any wife."
Just after he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "You mean Qianqian?"
Assistant Yuan pretended to be surprised: "No way, Mr. Lu, besides her, do you have other wives?"
Lu Xingyan glared at him fiercely, and without even having time to curse, he quickly grabbed his coat and put it on, then hurried out.
Assistant Yuan couldn't help laughing when he saw his hurriedly leaving figure. Oh, it turns out that the president needs to pick up his wife in person. I got a new idea.
At the front desk of the president's office, Wen Qianqian, dressed in a casual windbreaker, was sitting in the lounge waiting. The entire receptionist, secretary, and administrator of the president's office all ran out from their workstations, surrounding her in three layers, completely captivating Wen Qianqian.
When Lu Xingyan arrived, he saw that the group of administrative girls in his CEO's office, who usually worked very hard, had not even left their workstations. No one even noticed him, the CEO, coming. They all gathered around Wen Qianqian:
[Qianqian! I'm so excited! I finally saw her in person today. She's so beautiful, 10 times prettier than on TV!]
[Qianqian, our whole family is your fan, can you please sign an autograph for me?]
[Qianqian, how did you score so high on the practical test? Can you share some of your experience? I'll tell my brother when I get home!]
Then a group of people poured her water enthusiastically and filled the table with snacks.
A bunch of people talked a lot, and then someone asked:
[Qianqian, why are you here in our CEO's office today?]
Perhaps it was her reputation for arresting people wherever she went that was so well-known that the receptionist covered her mouth in fear the moment she finished asking: "Oh my! Could there be something wrong with our CEO Lu?"
Lu Xingyan, who heard everything clearly from behind, said:
However, no one in the group noticed him.
He had no choice but to cough twice to remind them.
"Boss Lu is here..." Someone on the outermost edge of the circle noticed it and quietly tugged at the clothes of the person in front of them, but the people inside remained completely unaware until someone deliberately shouted, "Hello, Boss Lu!"
The people in the circle were stunned for a moment, then turned around together, and when they saw Lu Xingyan, they screamed in shock:
"Ah! Why are you here?"
"How long have you been here..."
Others looked at Wen Qianqian silently, then secretly looked at Lu Xingyan with sympathetic expressions on their faces.
Just as they were speculating in their minds, Wen Qianqian suddenly stood up, then smiled gently at Lu Xingyan, with the corners of her mouth raised: "Hello, Mr. Lu."
Lu Xingyan was stunned and suddenly felt a little disappointed. What happened? He had finally changed the name, but why did he change it again as soon as he arrived at the company?
He hesitated for a moment, then coughed softly, "Ahem, I'd better call you Ah Yan, I'll get used to it."
Wen Qianqian hadn't said anything yet, but the girls in the CEO's office all looked left and right, then burst into a startled scream: "Wow!"
Then I couldn't help gossiping:
"Wow, it seems Qianqian and our CEO Lu have a special relationship!"
"Oh my god, I've never heard of anything like that. Are we the ones who are really going to be the first to watch? I'm so excited!"
"Are we going to have a CEO wife soon?"
Lu Xingyan cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment, then ignored the group of gossiping girls under him. In a hurry, he grabbed Wen Qianqian's arm and walked out.
Wen Qianqian stood in place, feeling the man's fiery warmth on her wrist, which also made her wrist feel hot. Somehow, she didn't think of shaking him off.
Finally, he took me all the way to the elevator and directly to the top floor, where I lived in my office.
As he passed by the corridor, he saw Assistant Yuan's shocked look and realized that he had been holding her wrist.
Lu Xingyan was stunned. At first, he felt a little regretful for his impulsiveness, but later he deliberately took advantage of the situation and pretended that he forgot to let go because of the impulse.
When they reached the door of the living room, Wen Qianqian reminded them, "Ahem, we're here."
Only then did Lu Xing let go reluctantly.
In order to hide his guilty conscience, he took the initiative to help Wen Qianqian get a cup of coffee, and then asked while pouring the water: "Qianqian, why did you come here today?"
"Thank you," she said, taking the coffee and smiling slightly. After thinking for a moment, she decided to get straight to the point: "Ayan, I came here today to buy something from you."
Lu Xingyan was stunned for a moment, then said, "We don't talk about business or borrowing between us."
He looked at her and said seriously, "Whatever you want, as long as I have it, you can take it at will."
Wen Qianqian's heart suddenly warmed. Seeing his serious look, she felt a little touched, but she still shook her head: "No, this won't work. What I want is very expensive. It's not a piece of cake or a barbecue. And it's for business, so it's better to make it clear."
Lu Xingyan suddenly became curious: "What is it?" It was rare for her to be so serious.
Wen Qianqian said softly, "I want to buy the jade necklace you bought at the auction house."
Lu Xingyan paused, then smiled: "I thought it was something important, but it turns out to be just a necklace?"
He lowered his head and smiled, then looked up, even a little shyly: "You don't have to buy it. I bought it originally to give it to you later."
After saying that, he took out his cell phone and sent a message.
A minute later, Assistant Yuan walked in quietly with a luxuriously packaged box. He moved very carefully, fearing that it would break if touched.
He glanced at Lu Xingyan, then at Wen Qianqian, and then asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lu, are you going to confess your feelings to your wife?"
Lu Xingyan was startled and took the box, cursing, "Tsk, get out of here!"
Assistant Yuan smiled, feeling that he had fulfilled his duty as a wingman, and immediately left the room, keeping his achievements and fame to himself, and considerately closed the door gently.
Now, there were only two of them in the room. Lu Xingyan took the box and opened it. Inside was an emerald necklace as green as the leaves of a sycamore tree in midsummer. Each emerald was connected with platinum as a decoration. Under the light, the emerald was lustrous and dazzling.
He solemnly handed the box to Wen Qianqian: "Qianqian, take it. This was originally meant for you."
She immediately shook her head: "No, this is too expensive, I really can't accept it."
Lu Xingyan thought about it and suddenly came up with a plan: "Well, I'll lend this necklace to your police station now, and you can take it now."
Wen Qianqian was stunned: "Can it be like this?"
Then he immediately shook his head: "No, no, we can't do this."
Lu Xingyan didn't give her a chance to refuse and stuffed it directly into her hand: "Okay, this is public property now. You take it and do what you want to do. It's only natural."
Wen Qianqian: ...
Okay, the case is important. She thought about it, took the necklace in her hand, and thought to herself, since she couldn't persuade him, she would take it as an emergency first. If it can be returned intact, she will return it to the original owner. If there is any mishap, she will compensate for it herself.
After thinking about it, she finally accepted the necklace.
Lu Xingyan on the opposite side seemed to be more nervous than her. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her accept it.
Wen Qianqian thought about it and asked Lu Xingyan, "Ah Yan, we suspect there's something fishy going on in the treasure appraisal shop, so we're going to use the jade necklace to find out."
After saying that, she took out the rice grain tracker and showed it to him. "There are many experts in the treasure appraisal shop. They will definitely use magnifying glasses to examine the jade carefully. If I rashly place the tracker next to the necklace, even if it is small, there is a possibility that it will be discovered."
She looked at Lu Xingyan and said, "Ah Yan, so I want to ask if you know anyone who can find a way to embed the tracker into the platinum connection and make it more subtle?"
Lu Xingyan thought for a moment, then smiled: "Qianqian, you really asked the right person."
The next morning, Lu Xingyan, Wen Qianqian, and Shen Yanjun came together to lead the Shen family's jewelry restoration center.
Shen Yanjun yelled all the way: "What on earth are you two doing? What's so mysterious that you have to come here to talk about it?"
Lu Xingyan walked to the lounge next to the repair center, carefully checked that there was no one around and no cameras, then gently closed the door.
Shen Yanjun was puzzled: “Ayan, if you want to see if there are any cameras, just ask me directly. What are you doing?”
Lu Xingyan ignored his yelling and waited until the door was securely closed before he took out the necklace and tracker. "Is there any way to attach this to the connection of the necklace?"
Shen Yanjun looked at it carefully, and then still confused, pointing at the tracker: "What is this? Why is it inlaid into jewelry when it's fine? It's difficult to do well, right? If it's not done well, it might even break the jade..."
Wen Qianqian's face froze. She hadn't expected Lu Xingyan to take such a huge risk. But before she could say anything, Lu Xingyan said firmly, "Just tell me if you can do it. I'll take on the rest of the risks."
Shen Yanjun was speechless. Seeing his firm attitude, he had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, who told you to have so much money to burn."
After saying this, he put on his gloves and carefully examined the jade and the tracker. After a long look, he said, "I can't do it. I can only ask our chief technical expert in charge of precision jewelry repair."
After saying that, he still muttered: "I'll go ask him. If even he says he can't do it, then you won't find another person in the whole country who can do it."
Wen Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you!"
After listening to this, Shen Yanjun was stunned for a moment, and finally his expression suddenly realized: “So it’s all for my sister-in-law!”
He smiled and said, "I mean, Ah Yan is a stubborn person. He usually doesn't ask me for help. Back in high school, his money from China didn't come to him, and he had no money. He ate steamed buns in the cafeteria for a week straight. He didn't say a word and didn't ask me. I only found out about it later."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Xingyan and smiled: "As expected, there is always a way out. You have changed, Ah Yan."
He smiled slyly, and before Lu Xingyan could glare at him, he quickly ran away with the jade and the tracker.
After a day and a night of meticulous polishing by technical experts, it was finally successfully completed. Wen Qianqian held a magnifying glass to the light and could not see any trace of it.
"Isn't it awesome? The best technology in the country, no, the world." Shen Yanjun was very proud.
Wen Qianqian looked at him and smiled: "Awesome, really awesome, thank you."
Shen Yanjun waved his hand nonchalantly: "Sister-in-law, you're welcome. This is nothing."
"It's my duty to help my sister-in-law, right, Ayan?" After saying that, he glanced at Lu Xingyan, but Lu Xingyan didn't bother to pay any attention to him.
That afternoon, Wen Qianqian dressed up in disguise, wearing a mask, putting on exaggerated eyebrows and eyeliner, a pair of large-framed glasses, and tying her hair into a high ponytail.
He changed his clothes into a gauze dress made of apparently inferior material, and dressed up as a silly and naive small businessman who looked like he had just graduated from university.
Zhao Shan next to him was wearing a plaid suit and looked a little silly.
After checking their outfits, Zhao Shan was very satisfied. "Very good. This is the dumbest and stupidest I've ever looked in my life. I can tell at a glance that I'm easily manipulated by my girlfriend."
After saying that, he turned back to look at Wen Qianqian's outfit, then paused for a moment before saying, "Qianqian, I didn't realize you had a talent for disguise. Even though you're famous, who would recognize you dressed like this? You look like a foolish, naive idiot who thinks he knows everything. You look so easy to fool."
Wen Qianqian nodded: "Remember, from now on, you are my boyfriend. Let's go."
Soon, the two took a taxi and went to the largest treasure appraisal shop in the capital, which was also the one mentioned by netizen Xiaotuji.
This treasure appraisal shop is very large. It is located on the most prosperous street in the imperial capital, occupying a space as large as a three-story shopping mall. Even the international luxury brands next to it are not as grand as it.
Zhao Shan carefully examined the ancient-looking building in front of him and exclaimed, "Building such a large building in this part of the imperial capital must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Wen Qianqian looked at the people coming and going at the entrance of the treasure appraisal shop and smiled softly: "So, they make a lot of money."
After taking a few more steps forward, Zhao Shan was a little nervous before entering the door. "What should I do? My heart is beating a little fast. Carrying 20 million worth of jade on me feels too shocking and unreal."
Wen Qianqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't fail. Just be a good boyfriend and leave the rest to me."
After saying that, he pulled Zhao Shan and walked directly into the gate.
I didn't notice it when I looked at it from the outside, but after I went in, I found that there were even more people inside, asking for advice, identifying things, there were crowds of people everywhere, and many people came with antique porcelain from their homes, walking very carefully, for fear of being bumped into.
The walls around the store are covered with antique calligraphy and paintings, which seem to create an atmosphere with a strong classical flavor. Even the waiters are wearing ancient long gowns, which makes people feel that this place is very "ancient" and professional.
Wen Qianqian and Zhao Shan looked around inside and found that there were a lot of people in the Determined Area. It seemed that everyone wanted to become a millionaire overnight by relying on a family heirloom, just like what was written in the news.
The people in the store were very busy. After a long time, a waiter came over to greet them.
He first looked them over, judging by their plain clothes and the fact that they didn't seem to have much money, and quickly asked, "What are you doing here? Trading antique jewelry, appraising antique jewelry, or getting a mortgage?"
Zhao Shan fully implemented the character of a wooden boyfriend, just watching and not saying anything.
Wen Qianqian was acting noisy: "We are here to sell jewelry. My boyfriend has a good thing at home that can be sold for a lot of money."
The waiter seemed to have heard this kind of talk too many times. Everyone who came here thought they would get rich, so he pointed indifferently at the appraisal area and said, "Go line up over there."
Wen Qianqian quickly pulled Zhao Shan over there to line up.
However, there was already a long queue in the appraisal area. Even though the appraisal process was relatively fast, they still had to wait for more than an hour due to the large number of people.
"It seems that the antique trading business is really booming!" Zhao Shan took a few steps closer and spoke next to her ear.
"Who said it wasn't?" Wen Qianqian spread her hands speechlessly, looking at the people coming and going in front of her, wondering how many people would be deceived.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh silently, hoping that the team would move faster so that she could send these criminals in as soon as possible.
After another long wait, it was finally their turn.
The master in the appraisal area, like the waiter, took a look at them and felt that they didn't have anything good to show for themselves, so he lazily said, "Where's the stuff? Show it to me."
Upon hearing this, Wen Qianqian immediately shouted, "My boyfriend's family has a top-grade jade necklace with a 400-year-old history. It's very precious. Let me show you!"
Zhao Shan maintained his persona and said two words: "Yes, yes."
The master opposite him rolled his eyes almost to the sky and couldn't help but say sarcastically: "In our line of work, what we see most are ordinary men and women who don't know their place. They are ordinary and self-confident."
Wen Qianqian pretended not to understand the other party's sarcasm and turned to urge Zhao Shan: "Where's the box? Take it out quickly."
Zhao Shan slowly took it out of the bag, still a little reluctant: "Baby, this is what my grandma left behind when she passed away. Should we think about it again?"
Wen Qianqian got goosebumps from his calling her "baby," but she still acted as if it was her last resort: "What are you thinking about? If you don't sell it, will you have enough money to buy a house?"
After saying that, she snatched the box from his hand, opened it carelessly, and almost shoved the necklace into the master's face: "Look, look carefully!"
The appraiser was about to continue mocking her, but when he saw the jade necklace in her hand, he was stunned.
After being stunned for a long time, he quickly picked up the magnifying glass next to him and took a look. The more he looked, the more amazed he became.
Wen Qianqian seemed very satisfied: "How is it? Am I right? It's an awesome baby."
The appraiser opposite immediately changed his expression and even smiled at her: "Wait a minute, I'll take it in and ask."
After saying that, he immediately slipped into the backstage and said to the few people inside, "Quickly call the store manager to take a look. We received a very good product."
When several people heard this, they took action immediately.
Wen Qianqian was standing at the appraisal window when a waiter-like man came over and said, "Dear guest, please come with us to the second floor to discuss the details."
After listening, she secretly exchanged a glance with Zhao Shan, and then the two of them, one pretending to be heartless and the other pretending to be very conflicted, followed the waiter to the second floor.
After I went there, I found that the second floor was completely different from the first floor.
The second floor is full of private rooms. You can't see the people inside from the outside. Maybe because the sound insulation is very good, you can't hear any sound coming from the rooms from the corridor.
Wen Qianqian took a closer look and instantly determined that this was the place where the treasure appraisal shop really discussed expensive antiques. They would just send away the less valuable items on the first floor.
Only if they see something they like will they take you to the second floor and find someone specifically to talk to you.
The waiter took them to a private room that was beautifully decorated, served them tea, snacks and fruit quickly, and then said, "Please wait a moment, our experts will be here soon." Then he left the room.
About ten minutes later, a man about 40 years old came in with the jade necklace they brought.
When Wen Qianqian saw it, she immediately took it and examined it carefully.
The other party smiled first: "Why? Miss, are you afraid that we will switch the goods?"
"Our treasure appraisal business is spread all over the country. Since we have become so big, we must have a very good business reputation and would not do such a thing as swapping treasures."
After saying that, he glanced at Wen Qianqian and Zhao Shan, thought for a moment, and then said, "This lady is so nervous. It seems that she thinks your necklace is very valuable?"
Wen Qianqian nodded immediately: "Of course! Before I came here, I told you it was top-grade jadeite, very valuable!"
The person on the other end laughed when he heard this. "Top-grade jadeite? I don't know where you got that conclusion, Miss. At least in my opinion as a jewelry appraiser, this necklace can't be called top-grade, let alone excellent jadeite."
He spoke with great confidence and vigor.
Wen Qianqian almost laughed. If she didn't know the value of this jade necklace, she might have been fooled by this man's attitude.
Although he may not be good at other things like appraising treasures, he is very good at PUAing people.
Wen Qianqian immediately stood up excitedly: "You're talking nonsense! Our necklace is top-notch. My boyfriend's grandmother told us when we were on vacation that this jade necklace was once a tribute from the imperial court. How could it not even be considered top-grade?"
Then she pointed at the expert in front of her and said, "What kind of expert are you? Why should I trust you?"
The person in front of him seemed to have come prepared. He took out his ID and said, "My last name is Ye, and I'm the chief expert of the National Jewelry Appraisal Alliance."
He was very proud: "Although the Jewelry Appraisal Alliance is a non-governmental organization, all jewelry circulating in our market recognizes its appraisal."
"So, I can tell at a glance whether your necklace is valuable or not, and what I say represents the market's judgment."
"If you don't believe me, you can go out and ask for yourself."
Oh, Jewelry Appraisal Alliance, get it!
Wen Qianqian smiled inwardly and pretended to fall for his trick: "That's impossible. Our jade is so fine, and it's used by the imperial court. How can it not be valuable?"
After saying that, she pointed at the necklace angrily and said, "Look at this color and this luster. Isn't this top-notch?"
The man on the other side seemed to have dealt with this situation countless times and was already very proficient in it. He closed his eyes and said, "That's why I said your necklace is worthless."
"Huh?" She looked surprised, as if she didn't quite understand what he said.
The expert opposite was holding the jadeite with gloves on: "Although jadeite is most valuable for its green color, the greener and more translucent it is, the better the jadeite is."
"But look at your necklace. The green is too dark. How can ordinary jade be this green? I can tell at a glance that there's something else mixed in."
After saying that, he continued to look at Wen Qianqian and said, "Look at this luster again, it's very bright, isn't it? So you think it's very good."
"But what I want to say is that jadeite that is this transparent is actually very fake, just like glass. You know, glass is translucent, right? But is glass valuable? No, glass is not valuable at all."
He said confidently, "This necklace of yours must contain a glass-like component. So even though it looks green and transparent, it actually has impurities and is not natural."
"The good thing about jade is that it's pure natural. Otherwise, what's the difference between it and the glass on the street?"
Wen Qianqian was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that this person could come up with such a bizarre reason.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but say, "But, my boyfriend's grandmother said it was an antique. How can antiques be faked?"
The other party was clearly impatient: "Are you the experts or am I the expert? If I say there are impurities, there are impurities. Get it clear, I didn't say it was fake, I just said there were impurities. Do you understand?"
Wen Qianqian nodded and instantly understood the "expert's" PUA routine. It turned out that impurities are bricks and can be moved wherever they are useful.
But it was clearly stated at the auction that this jade was sold for 20 million because of its pure color and no impurities.
Seeing that she was still skeptical, the expert continued, "You must have heard that the world's largest jade production base is Country M. Your piece is obviously produced in China. From the root, it is worthless."
Wen Qianqian wanted to laugh, but held it back. Sorry, the production base of this jade is really Country M.
Finally, she pretended to be very annoyed and anxious and asked, "You said this is worthless, and that is worthless, so how much do you think it's worth?"
When the other party heard this, they thought these two ignorant bumpkins had been provoked by his few words and were in a mess. So they simply crossed their arms and looked at them arrogantly: "This kind of jadeite with poor quality and origin, we have everything in our treasure appraisal shop. How much do you think it is worth?"
Wen Qianqian pretended not to be very confident, but tried hard to muster up the courage: "T-ten million?"
The other side smiled calmly: "No, it's not even worth 500,000."
