Chapter 838: Acting
The assistant next to him looked worried and kept winking at Lin Ran, asking him to agree first and find reasons to shirk later.
But Lin Ran is a principled person. If he doesn't want to join, he just doesn't want to join.
He also noticed that Director Ma's face was not very good-looking, and originally wanted to find a reason to ask him to step down.
The deputy director behind him couldn't hold himself back for a while and said: "Lin Ran from Shengshi Craftsmanship, right? We have investigated your situation. You are just a high school graduate who works for Zheng Xueming's family. Why should you do anything for yourself?" You put a lot of money on your face, but you still call it opening a store?"
After saying that, the people next to him started laughing.
Lin Ran did not react to the sudden humiliation.
What kind of investigation is this?Since the relationship between him and Zheng Xueming can be found out, how can we find out that he works for Zheng Xueming?
As long as you check the information of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, you will know that you are a legal representative.
Liu Jingfeng stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Brother Lin does run his own shop, and there is more than one. After all, he is also one of ours, so of course he cannot directly agree to your request."
If the other party doesn't give him face, of course Liu Jingfeng has to find some ground for his brother.
"That's right." Wang Jinpeng took advantage of the chaos and finished eating the leg of lamb from the next table, wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth, stood up and said, "Isn't it just to treat us to a meal? We will also book a table tomorrow and invite you to have a meal. Let’s call it even.”
"Say less." Huang Hao quickly pulled Wang Jinpeng to sit down.
Liu Jingfeng's reply just now was reasonable and well-founded, but when it came to Wang Jinpeng, it was unreasonable.
Although his attitude is very arrogant, he is a member of the archaeological team after all. If he goes against the official people, they will die if they are caught going to the tomb in the future.
Others also understood the pros and cons, so they did not directly retaliate.
Director Ma's face turned red and white, and he looked at the three people in front of him silently.
Then he raised a meaningful smile and said, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Liu, I will come to you for advice when I have time in the future. You eat slowly."
After saying that, he turned around and drove away.
After he left, everyone at the other tables hurriedly turned around to eat, pretending that they had not seen the scene here.
Only now did Lin Ran think that it might not be a bad thing if Ma Rubin didn't come to this table to toast.
It was naturally important to have a good relationship with the archaeological team, but if he had to join, Lin Ran would rather study slowly behind closed doors.
With Huang Hao and Hong Wu's eyesight, they might be able to dig out more ancient tombs from the previous dynasties.
As soon as Director Ma said his last words, he was obviously a stranger to them.
The situation is really small. In comparison, Tang Lanxuan only expressed disappointment when he was rejected, and was not upset that people could not be used for their own purposes.
Liu Jingfeng also had this idea, but at this moment he couldn't reply directly. He could only say: "Brother Lin, don't take his words to heart. Wang Jinpeng is right. Isn't it just a celebration banquet? Let's hold one ourselves later. , celebrate yourself.”
"It's okay." Lin Ran smiled and shook his head, "I don't mind."
After eating, Lin Ran and his group were ready to leave.
But he met the deputy director and others at the door of the bathroom. He smiled contemptuously: "You don't really think that you can directly become the captain of the archaeological team after entering the Bureau of Literature and Research, do you? Who among us here does not have a degree from a famous university? I was just being polite to you. , don’t take it too seriously.”
He seemed to be here to regain some ground for Director Ma. Lin Ran didn't want to conflict with him, so he just smiled and didn't answer.
Looking back, Wang Jinpeng felt very unlucky.
Originally, they came here to have fun, but instead they made trouble for themselves while having a meal.
"We really failed to be good people and were treated as fools." Wang Jinpeng complained, "We will never cooperate with the archaeological team again."
Liu Jingfeng nodded, looking very unhappy from his expression.
They kind of treat them like leeks and throw them aside directly after cutting them.
Fortunately, they gave the subsequent cultural relics to the archaeological team for free. They were really meddling in their own business.
But just at the door of the hotel, when Lin Ran was about to drive, someone called him from behind.
"Mr. Lin." The voice sounded rich and elegant. Looking back, he saw a middle-aged man with white hair on his forehead.
Lin Ran didn't recognize him, so he looked aside and saw that there was no one else named Lin, so he smiled and nodded: "Are you calling me?"
"Of course." The man stepped forward and extended his right hand to express friendship. My name is Qin Hao, and I am a staff member of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. "
Bureau of Cultural Relics...
Whether it is a museum or an archaeological team, they are all institutions under their umbrella.
But Lin Ran still wanted to be an idle fish and wild crane, and said with a smile: "Hello, but I am just an ordinary store manager and have no interest in joining any related departments."
He decided to tell the answer first to save others from being embarrassed.
Qin Hao just smiled at Lin Ran's answer.
"We respect everyone's decision, and I'm not here to invite you to join the Cultural Relics Bureau, but I have something I want you to help with."
Lin Ran didn't speak, just looked at Qin Hao.
"No matter what Director Ma said, it was only his personal decision and had nothing to do with us." Qin Hao explained, "And I know very well that you are the key to the tomb of the Queen of the Kingdom of Jin. I think you did a good job."
"Thank you." Lin Ran was a little confused.
"I came to you mainly about the treasure hunting party." Qin Hao's face suddenly turned solemn, "I want to talk to you alone."
Liu Jingfeng and others who were waiting nearby were stunned. It turned out that the other party wanted to drive them away.
Mainly to see what Lin Ran meant, Lin Ran nodded to them and they got into the car.
"Brother Lin, come and sit in my shop when you have time." Liu Jingfeng waved to him, "Just call me if you need anything."
"No problem." Lin Ran said goodbye to them.
Qin Hao then invited Lin Ran to the swimming pool behind the hotel. He thought that all the people had dispersed, but he did not expect that there were still two figures beside the swimming pool.
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be Ma Rubin and Director Ma.
Director Ma changed his arrogance and looked much more humble.
As soon as he saw Lin Ran, he quickly came up to shake hands with him.
"Mr. Lin, please forgive me for what I said was a bit harsh just now." Director Ma smiled and held his hand.
Faced with his sudden apology, Lin Ran was at a loss.
After sitting down, Lin Ran understood the whole story.
It turns out that the floppy disk did contain insider information about the treasure hunting club, but the list was not complete.
There wasn't even any information about Bogu in it, only a list of some minor figures.
And since we can't get definite evidence, we can't bring them to justice. We can only find excuses to expel them.
