It was almost lunchtime, so Li Qing asked Dong Xuebin to go to the cafeteria together, "Xuebin, are you dating someone?"

Khan, is this the problem again? Dong Xuebin felt that since he entered the agency, at least four people had asked him the same thing. He really didn't want to discuss this topic, because he had never been in love in more than twenty years of life... This was really not a publicity thing, but you had to answer the leader's questions. Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said hypocritically, "I haven't found him yet. I want to do the job at hand first, and I am not in a hurry about the target." It's strange that he is not in a hurry.

Gray Building came out of the corner, and Li Qing chuckled and said, "I have to criticize you for this."

Dong Xuebin sneered.

"Work is work, and you can't let this delay your relationship." Li Qing was just wrong Chapter 85 [The treasure buried in the ground!] (Second update!) I felt a little guilty for blaming Dong Xuebin, so I reminded her kindly, "You are too young now, and you have taken such a high-profile position as deputy director of General Office. Do you know how many people are chewing your tongue behind your back and are not convinced? I know you are capable, but your age is there after all, right? So, when you meet the right person, you should find a partner first, and solve the marriage problem as soon as possible without delay." The Power of Time and Wealth 85

"... Marriage?"

The canteen has arrived, Li Qing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You can think about it yourself."

Li Qing didn't remind me, Dong Xuebin really didn't think about it. Indeed, if you get married and start a family, you will definitely give others a more mature impression than you do now, which can slightly make up for the negative impact of being too young, and will also be of great benefit to your next promotion. However, Dong Xuebin doesn't know whether to cry or laugh. That's the truth, but... where will he get married? Who is he going to marry? When I thought about my ideal marriage partner, strangely enough, two faces popped up in Dong Xuebin's mind. One of them was undoubtedly Qu Yunxuan, and the other... was actually the day I used my back to catch a thief on the road to snatch the treasure buried in the ground!] (Second update!) The hostess of the wallet I returned to is the woman who said she would call to treat her to dinner later but never did. She has a stunning appearance and a very elegant temperament.

I'm so confused, why did I think of her?

Dong Xuebin shook his head vigorously and shook the woman's face out of his mind. He hadn't called him for so long, so he must have forgotten her. He probably wouldn't have a chance to see her again in the future. So, Dong Xuebin once again had the bad idea of Qu Yunxuan. If you can fall in love with Aunt Xuan, that would obviously be the best ending. Alas, it's a pity that I still don't understand what Aunt Xuan is thinking. Damn, never mind, first make enough one million to open a company for Aunt Xuan. During this period, I will find a way to pursue her. I will use a two-pronged approach to win over Aunt Xuan within two months.

Yes, make money first. Even if it's not just for Aunt Xuan, but also for Dong Xuebin, you have to find a way to make more money.

Buying a car, giving gifts, buying a house and getting married, what are the things that don't require money?

Making money and chasing women, these two should be treated as political tasks.

Early next morning.

The air was dry and cold, and the yellow leaves crunched under my feet.

Dong Xuebin, who was wearing a jacket, held his collar and got off the bus. He went to work to report first. At about ten o'clock, he walked out of Xu Yan's office with a stack of documents and a digital camera. He reported to Li Qing again and gave General Office instructions before leaving the branch and taking a bus to You'anmen.

Chengxi Branch Bureau's "Guest House" is here. I heard that the surrounding bungalows and many buildings will be demolished. "Guest House", who is responsible for receiving intelligence personnel traveling from various places, will no longer be stationed here. After Bureau Party Committee After discussion and voting, it was decided that Director Xu would be responsible. First, write a plan and report the surrounding situation, pictures and other information of "Guest House" in detail to the city bureau. If the city bureau approves it, the bureau can start working on the relocation of "Guest House". And Dong Xuebin's job today is to write reports.

Following the moat to the west, Dong Xuebin arrived at the destination.

Dong Xuebin was choked and coughed a few times. He pinched his nose and avoided the area. He went to the alley at the back first. After looking around, he took out a pen and paper from his bag. While briefly recording the surrounding environment, he took out his camera to take a few photos. There were still a few nail households in the alley that had not been moved out. Three old men and an old lady were chattering outside a large courtyard. When they saw Dong Xuebin clicking and taking pictures there, several people were stunned and gathered around them.

"Young man, are you a reporter?" The old lady looked at his camera.

One of the old men was a little excited, "Comrade reporters, you must report on them. These demolishers are so stupid. They even threw bricks at our house at night, smashed the glass, and broke the door. They also threatened us with what will happen if we don't move away. This... is there any royal law for this?"

Dong Xuebin closed the book dumbfounded, "Old man, I'm sorry, I'm not a reporter." The Power of Time and Wealth 85

The old man asked suspiciously, "Then what are you taking pictures of here?"

Dong Xuebin said, "I am a painter. I will take some photos of Courtyard House to facilitate my painting."

When several people heard this, they all went back disappointed.

Dong Xuebin smiled and shook his head, and continued to record while strolling nearby. Because what he was writing now was not a formal draft, Dong Xuebin was not so focused on refining the language. A part of his mind was separated and thinking about finishing it as soon as possible. He went to Panjiayuan or Shili River to visit an antique store to see if there were any opportunities for him to miss. Now I have assets of hundreds and thousands of yuan, which is still far from my goal of one million yuan.

At noon, Dong Xuebin and Red Flag University ordered a bowl of braised pork in the alley opposite.

When I go to Panjiayuan later, should I find an expert to follow him and use my back to buy whatever the expert buys? Hey, but it seems that experts are not so easy to meet. Besides, the things bought by experts may not be genuine, and they may not be missed. This... is not feasible? What to do? Are you going to bet on walnuts again? But something as good as last time will definitely not happen. If you just wait for others to open the green leather and then use the back to "rob" the other party, isn't it a bit of a waste? Even if I use two back bets to get a pair of 45mm Dwarf Lion's Head and sell them for thousands of dollars, I have to bet one million... how many days will it take? And now in this season, there is nothing Gambling on Green Peels, so I have to wait until next year.

Dong Xuebin The more I think about it, the more headache I get. It seems that even with my back, it is difficult to make money.

Returning to the dilapidated bungalow area, looking at the dead branches and leaves in the half-collapsed Courtyard House, Dong Xuebin racked his brains to make money while subconsciously taking pictures. Where could he pick up the missing ones? He doesn't expect to pick up a Yuan Blue and White Porcelain or a Xuande furnace at once. As long as he gives Dong Xuebin a folk kiln worth 100,000 yuan, he will be satisfied. Alas, folk kilns, calligraphy and painting, where are you?

Just when Dong Xuebin was worrying about how to make the next money, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Looking back, he saw a middle-aged man with dirt on his body.

Dong Xuebin paused with the camera in his hand, frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"What did you say? Stop filming, stop filming."

"Why is it bothering you if I take a picture of mine?"

Behind the middle-aged man are several migrant workers who are prying out the floor tiles in the courtyard. Judging from his temperament, he is probably a foreman or other related staff. The middle-aged man walked up and reached out to grab Dong Xuebin's camera, "This is our place. Do you have our consent for you to take pictures?" He regarded Dong Xuebin as a reporter. Because someone above had explained it, the middle-aged man had a very tough attitude, fearing that reporters would report some negative news.

Dong Xuebin hid his hand and said solemnly, "This is the country's land. When did it become your land?"

The middle-aged man looked ruthless and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Give me the camera."

"Let me tell you clearly, I'm not a reporter. I took pictures just to take photos and draw pictures." Dong Xuebin quickly put away the camera after a few twists and turns with him, stared into his eyes with a cold face and said, "Robbing things without asking any questions? Are you a robber? I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Where is your person in charge? Call him." Dong Xuebin has become accustomed to calling people around in the past two days, so he said this very smoothly.

Middle-aged Foreman suddenly laughed, "Oh, you are not too soft, are you? Looking for the leader? I am the leader." As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward to grab Dong Xuebin's bag, "Tell me again, bring me the camera."

"You're not done yet, are you?"

At this moment, several migrant workers behind the collapsed wall and piles of rotten bricks and rubble suddenly screamed in surprise. One man dropped his shovel and squatted on the ground, digging something with his hands. Then a wooden cover that was almost corroded out of shape was lifted to the ground.

Middle-aged Foreman was stunned, "What's going on?"

A migrant worker with a northern accent said loudly, "It's a box. It was just dug out and buried under a big brick. There seems to be treasure inside." The Power of Time and Wealth 85

Middle-aged Foreman didn't react for a moment, "... baby?"

Dong Xuebin was stunned for a moment, stretched his neck and looked around, but couldn't see clearly.

Another migrant worker with a Northeastern accent lay there and said, "There is a big iron box in the box. I don't know what it contains."

Box? Iron box?

Middle-aged Foreman was refreshed. He had been in this business for so many years, and of course he knew that there might be some old objects buried in the soil. This was not a strange thing. For example, the year before last, when he led people to do a project on Changchun Street, he dug out two jade pendants from the ground of a house and sold them for a lot of money. Thinking of this, Middle-aged Foreman was in a good mood, haha, now he could make some extra money, so he turned to look at Dong Xuebin fiercely, stopped grabbing his camera, and pushed him like a fly, "Okay, okay, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up."

Do you want me to leave now?

What a beautiful thought you have

Seeing the big box, Dong Xuebin's eyes lit up, "... back"!!!
