Chapter 1308: Handling official business
When I came to the office the next day, I was planning to take care of the work at the antique store. As soon as I sat down, I received a call from Fang Xiaohai.
Fang Xiaohai didn't say anything else on the phone, just three words: "Come to the bureau."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ran felt a little overwhelmed and couldn't figure out what was going on.
I wondered if Qian Xiaohai wanted him to help identify stolen goods again.
The other party's tone sounded like a request, not a request for help. It should be something very important.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ran glanced at the documents on the table. Most of them were just reports. Yang Jianlong had almost finished handling the work matters.
Deciding that there was nothing important, Lin Ran packed up his things and notified his assistant to ask Yang Jianlong to come to him if he had anything to do after work.
I drove to the Special Investigation Bureau after a long and dusty journey.
Maybe it was because Qian Xiaohai had specifically told him that a pass was required to come to a place like this.
As a result, as soon as his car arrived at the door, the guard standing at the door opened the door.
After confirming through the rearview mirror that there was no one else behind him, Lin Ran drove into the Special Investigation Bureau.
In fact, this is his first time here. Most of his previous cooperation with Fang Xiaohai was outside, and this place does not welcome outsiders to visit.
After he drove in, the guard closed the door and stood in the security booth again, solemnly and solemnly.
Lin Ran parked the car and came to the door of the Special Investigation Bureau, intending to check where Xia Xiaohai's office was.
At this moment, I saw an acquaintance.
It's not that he's particularly familiar, but this person has a very special identity. He was the host of the last treasure appraisal conference.
When he called Lin Ran from behind, Lin Ran didn't react for a moment.
"There's no need to look for Mr. Fang. Come with me." He curled his fingers at Lin Ran.
The other party is from the Ministry of Chinese Language and Literature, and he has much more say than Fang Xiaohai.
Lin Ran quickly followed him without asking what was going on, which made him feel very satisfied.
Compared with the submissiveness of the people inside, he admired Lin Ran's free and easy attitude very much.
We came to an office. This office was unique and full of vitality in the office building of the 80s.There is a gramophone in the room, which is playing classical jazz, and abstract paintings with popular aesthetics are hung on the walls. There is also a fish tank in the room, with several goldfish swimming around in it.
The entire office looks and feels like a studio for an artistic young man.
"Would you like some coffee?" the host asked.
Lin Ran rejected his kindness, now was not the time for small talk.
"Do you remember what I asked you to do earlier?" the host said while drinking coffee.
Of course Lin Ran remembered it, but it was almost impossible for him to establish good relations with the four aristocratic families without their help.
As soon as he finished explaining the task, the door to the room was pushed open.
It was Fang Xiaohai who walked in. He was carrying a bag of things. He saw Lin Ran sitting inside and smiled a little when he came in.
"You came."
"Is everything done?" the host asked casually.
Judging from their attitude, Fang Xiaohai seems to be his subordinate.
Lin Ran watched silently, and Fang Xiaohai reported all the progress to the host as if reporting work.
"That's it." The abbot nodded and said, "Okay, put your things down and you can go out first."
Fang Xiaohai turned around to say hello to Lin Ran again, turned around and left, closing the door gently.
"The matter has been settled. We have something to entrust you to deal with." The host placed the bag of documents on the coffee table and motioned to Lin Ran to open it.
Lin Ran was dumbfounded: "Please, I just came back from vacation, can I rest for two days?"
He had just escaped from death, and now he was still sitting in the office, so he was assigned another task.
"Who isn't?" the host said with a smile, "Are you going to Tibetan areas for vacation or to rob tombs?"
"We don't rob tombs." Lin Ran replied decisively, "The things we brought out from the tombs were all handed over to the museum. You can't talk nonsense."
"Really?" The host looked at him with a meaningful expression, but quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is no danger this time. As long as you go to Nanling to deal with some minor matters and visit the Huo family, you will be fine." become."
Huo family?
Lin Ran thought of Mr. Huo at the previous treasure appraisal conference. He was also a high-profile figure, but maybe his family fortune was not as good as others, so he seemed relatively low-key.
I'm afraid it will be a thorn in my side to deal with this kind of person.
Open the bag on the coffee table. Inside is an airplane ticket and a reception voucher for the guest house.
"All the precautions are in it. If you have anything to do when you get to Nanling, just come to me. My phone number is in it. I will come over immediately when I receive the call." After saying that, he made a gesture to please leave.
This man's attitude was extremely strong. Not long after Lin Ran sat down, he was asked out of the office before he had time to breathe.
As the door to the room closed, the music inside also stopped.
"What a weirdo." Lin Ran thought to himself.
He returned to the office with his things, but before he could open them, Yang Jianlong came in: "Godfather, you're back. Hey, why didn't you go on vacation? You're quite haggard."
There is no time to sleep during this period, I am always on tenterhooks every day.
But Yang Jianlong is quite attentive, and I couldn't tell it before.
"Altitude sickness." Lin Ran replied casually, "You'll get used to it in two days!"
"That's good." Yang Jianlong sat down on the seat opposite Lin Ran, breathed heavily, and said, "Godfather, you are finally back. Miss Yuan comes to the store to look for you every day. Remember to give her something when you come back." A phone call.”
Lin Ran almost forgot about this. There were too many things going on recently and he was completely overwhelmed.
"Except Miss Yuan..." Yang Jianlong looked at Lin Ran with a evil smile on his face.
"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly." Lin Ran didn't have time to chat with Yang Jianlong. They would have to talk about business matters later.
"Oh, it's like this. A girl who calls herself Jiang Li is looking for your godfather, so that you can go to her grandfather's house when you are free."
Seeing Long's evil smile, he knew that he must be thinking wrongly.
"Do you know who Jiang Li's grandfather is?" Lin Ran asked.
"How would I know? I'm not as popular with women as you are, godfather."
"It's Jiang Hua." Lin Ran said.
Yang Jianlong thought that Lin Ran owed a peach blossom debt outside, but it turned out that Jiang Li was just running for Jiang Hua and told him that he wanted Lin Ran to go over and meet him.
Lin Ran knew that Yang Jianlong was joking and was not angry after hearing this. He said calmly: "Let's check this month's performance first."
