Chapter 37: Looks Like a Rich Man at First Glance

Director Guan, isn't this turn a bit too sharp?

Lin Sicheng was just thinking of how to phrase it when Hao Jun came out of the Jade shop holding a box.

"What are you two chatting about?"

Guan Xingmin was dead serious: "Just chatting nonsense, asking him about his postgraduate entrance exam!"

Guard against fire, theft, and brothers: Rongbaozhai is a proper state-run unit, and the key is that its flexibility is quite high.

Just like Hao Jun: as long as it doesn't involve the few categories that are the company's main business, he could earn a million a day and no one would care.

Unlike himself: if he picks up a Yuan Shikai silver dollar at Xiaodongmen, he has to report it when he gets back.

So, as long as Hao Jun speaks up, would Lin Sicheng have to be brain-damaged to go to the Municipal Bureau?

Secretly changing his train of thought, he took the initiative to change the subject: "You got the prayer beads, how much did they cost?"

"Ninety-six thousand, dirt cheap!" Hao Jun beamed, "Let's go, Tang Le Gong (a high-end restaurant in Xijing)!"

After a slight pause, he winked at Lin Sicheng: "After we eat, we'll go to the Scene Room (a high-end club in Xijing), Senior Brother will take you to learn a thing or two!"

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

"No... you're not going, so you won't let Lin Sicheng go?"

Nonsense... once Lin Sicheng graduates, he's going to join the Municipal Bureau, right? Of course, that's still just in his imagination, but what if?

He also knew that Hao Jun was just running his mouth for a moment, but what if one day this bastard got drunk, and Lin Sicheng got drunk too? The two of them on a whim, go...

Therefore, he couldn't even let them have the slightest thought of it.

"It's fine, I'll go later, I'll lead the team!" Guan Xingmin nodded, "Just in time to earn some merit!"

Hao Jun chuckled: that's not how you set someone up; to be honest, he hadn't even been there himself.

As for talking about splitting a share or something, Lin Sicheng definitely wouldn't want it. But not wanting it is one thing, the gratitude must be expressed.

He put an arm around Lin Sicheng's shoulder: "It's fine, I'll take you secretly on a day Lao Guan doesn't know, Senior Brother!"

Lin Sicheng also laughed: "Forget the Scene Room, Tang Le Gong is just fine!"

Guan Xingmin shook his head: "That place is only good for the dancing, there's nothing to eat, might as well go to Xi'an Restaurant (a designated reception unit for the Provincial Government)!"

"Section Chief Guan, we are going to a restaurant, not the Provincial Department!"

Guan Xingmin nodded: "That's true, if we run into leaders, we'd have to salute... let's just go to Tang Le Gong!"

The three of them talked and laughed, passing through Xicang West Lane and arriving at North Back Alley.

Just as they entered the alley, Hao Jun started sneezing again: "This hellhole is a mess, why doesn't anyone manage it?"

It was indeed quite messy.

Birdcages hung all over the walls, dog cages were lined up along the street, and the smell was imaginable.

Not to mention the stench, it was also noisy, and cats and dogs kept darting out.

Even though it's a bird and flower market, it is the city center after all, why make it look like a breeding farm?

"You know it's messy, yet you still parked your car here?"

"If there were any parking spots, would I park here..."

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

Lin Sicheng and Guan Xingmin were both stunned: Good heavens, a Golden Retriever the size of a calf darted out from a doorway and charged straight at them.

Hao Jun stood motionless as if he were scared silly. Guan Xingmin squatted down on the spot, searching around.

But it was definitely too late; by the time he found something handy, the dog would have already rushed over.

Sure enough, Lin Sicheng pushed off with his back leg, preparing to kick the dog over, but before he could even lift his front foot, the Golden Retriever had already reached them.

Seeing him blocking the way, the dog loosened its mouth, and a basin fell down with a "clatter."

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

Lin Sicheng dodged violently, and with a "rip," half of his pant leg was in the dog's mouth.

Just as it was about to take a second bite, Lin Sicheng moved like lightning, pinning the dog's head down and clamping its waist with his legs.

The Golden Retriever couldn't break free, so it could only thrash about.

I have to say, it was quite strong.

Hao Jun's face turned pale: "Lao Guan, hurry... hurry and draw your gun!"

Draw what?

He wanted to draw, but he had to actually have one, right?

Guan Xingmin had a flash of inspiration and unbuckled his belt: "Lin Sicheng, hold it tight..."

Walking up to them, he let out a sigh of relief: "Good thing you dodged fast!"

Fortunately, it didn't bite him, just tore off half his pants.

It wasn't until this moment that a voice came from inside the door: "Tsk tsk tsk... Big Gold, don't run!"

Then, a woman rushed out.

She was wearing an apron, a mask, and holding a long-handled spoon in her hand.

Lin Sicheng guessed it immediately: the Golden Retriever had darted out of its cage while the woman was adding food.

The woman ran over, took a look, and her eyes went wide: It bit someone?

The key was that these three people didn't look like ordinary folks at all...

She panicked: "No... why did you grab it?"

Lin Sicheng was speechless: If I didn't grab it, Guan Xingmin behind me would have gotten a mouthful.

It was indeed a Golden Retriever, but this thing was a stud dog; it was as fierce as a wolf, and if you dared to block it, biting you was just on the way.

The key was that Guan Xingmin was still half-squatting; if things went wrong, it might have bitten his neck...

Just as he was about to say something, "Bang bang bang bang bang~"

Perhaps because it was anxious about not being able to break free, the whip-like dog tail slapped hard, making the Dog Basin under its bottom ring out loudly.

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

There was a painting on it, the colors quite vivid: a circle of green leaves around the edge, looking like water fringe, and two three-tailed goldfish in the middle.

But it was quite broken, the edges dented and chipped, and a lot of the porcelain on the bottom had fallen off. Especially the fish tails: black showing purple, purple showing red.

Lin Sicheng had only glanced at it casually before turning his head back, then he suddenly froze: enamel is porcelain over iron, even if the porcelain falls off, it should only show black, how could it show red through purple?

He turned his head back again, his pupils shrinking slightly: the place where the porcelain had fallen off didn't look like iron; it looked like... copper?

The key point was: those two goldfish and that circle of water fringe leaves were raised so high, as if they had been built up with metal wire...

Haha... Cloisonne?

But that's not very likely, right? No matter how you look at it, it's just a Dog Basin?

After a brief thought, Lin Sicheng patted the dog's butt and then gave it a nudge.

"Clang~" The Dog Basin flipped over, with a crisp, loud sound.

Dirty and smelly, covered in who knows what kind of black and yellow mess, the bottom of the Dog Basin faintly revealed a corner of a seal.

No way... what kind of luck does he have?

Just as he was secretly surprised and suspicious, the woman muttered: "It bit you, so what... it was you who wanted to grab it!"

Hao Jun covered his nose and pointed: "You say 'so what' and that's it? Whose dog is this?"

"It's mine, but if you hadn't blocked the road, it would have run away, so how could it have bitten anyone?"

Hao Jun was so angry he laughed: "Is the road yours too?"

The woman rolled her eyes and was about to argue further, but Lin Sicheng waved his hand: "Has the dog had its Needle?"

"Of course it has, this is a stud dog!"

That's good.

Lin Sicheng nodded and pointed at the golden retriever: "Are you selling it?"

What?

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

It bit you once, and you've developed feelings for it?

The woman hesitated: "This is a stud dog..."

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

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

"Is your dog inlaid with gold..."

Hao Jun had just shouted half a sentence when he was glared at by Guan Xingmin.

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

The woman beamed with joy.

Just as she thought, one look at these three and you could tell they were rich people...
