When Shi Wanli, director of the Bureau of Letters and Calls, saw the anonymous report letter, he read it carefully from beginning to end. He also searched for Xue Chen on the Internet and read some relevant news. He had a general understanding of Xue Chen. He also had some thoughts in his heart.

We came to a conclusion that the content of the report should be false.

Because as far as he knew, the information about the commercial street planning was top secret, and even he didn't know it. Companies with strong financial resources and dense connections, such as Galaxy Industrial and Hualong Real Estate, had never done this. A vice president of a subsidiary of the Ning Group

How could it be possible to know in advance?

In addition, the provincial leaders who knew about the commercial street planning were all powerful figures. Even if what the letter said was true, he did not want to get involved in the turmoil and offend some people just because of an anonymous letter.

Based on these two reasons, the report letter that Chi Jingtian racked his brains and had high hopes for was lightly thrown into the trash can and became a piece of waste paper.

Naturally, Xue Chen didn't know what Chi Jingtian was doing. He was busy with the branch. After the Ning Group negotiated with Hualong Real Estate, they naturally bought the shop diagonally opposite the Provincial Museum at Xue Chen's request.

.

He paid 2.7 million for it, which was the same price as the last time he agreed. Although the process went full circle, he finally reached the end point and the shop fell into his hands.

This antique store is expected to invest 5 million, with Xue Chen and Wang Dong each investing 2 million, and Yang Guang investing 1 million. The three will hold 40%, 40% and 20% of the shares respectively.

Xue Chao drove his Lexus to the government departments in Yang'an City every day to apply for various relevant certificates. After half a month, the certificates were finally completed, and the store decoration that was being carried out at the same time was basically completed during this time.

.

Wang Dong has also contacted the purchasing channels and is preparing to distribute the goods. Everything is proceeding steadily.

The hardware conditions are all in place, but there is a shortage of employees. Xue Chao recruited two young people who have worked in sales and are also sharp-tongued as assistants, but they still lack a person who is proficient in antique appreciation to run the store.

"Xiaochen, tomorrow afternoon a master who is proficient in antique appreciation will come to apply for a job, but I don't know much about antiques, and I don't know the level of this applicant. I still need you to check it in person." Xue Chao was on the phone.

Said to Xue Chen.

"Okay, I'll go there early tomorrow morning." Xue Chen agreed, and early the next morning, he drove to the Yang'an Antique Branch.

The antique branch is also called Zhuoyue Antique Store. It has two floors. The decoration style of the store is similar to that of Haicheng Zhuoyue Antique Store. The goods have been placed on the shelves and have a look. As long as there are enough people, it can be officially opened.

Xue Chen saw Xue Chao running back and forth, his face was red from the sun, but his whole person was filled with energy that he had never seen before when he was a buyer, as if he had become a different person.

"The master who applied for the job told me on the phone that he has been involved in the antiques industry for more than ten years and has rich experience, but he just doesn't know whether it is true or not. So, you should come over and help me check it," Xue Chao said.

"No problem." Xue Chen said with a faint smile. He could still tell whether the person applying for the job was really capable.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, a taxi stopped in front of the store. Immediately, an old man in his fifties wearing a gray shirt, black trousers, and a small beard on his chin walked into the store.

Inside, I saw two guys cleaning. I coughed and said, "I'm here to apply for a job. Which one is in charge?"

Xue Chen and Xue Chao, who were chatting on the second floor, heard the sound from the first floor. They stood up and walked downstairs. Halfway through, Xue Chen saw the person who came to apply for the job. He was slightly stunned for a moment. The little old man looked up and saw Xue Chen coming down from upstairs, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Huang Pinqing?"

"Xue Chen, is that you?"

Xue Chen looked at Huang Pinqing, who was dressed like a scholar, and was a little surprised. His eyes moved and the corners of his mouth raised: "Who did I ask? It turns out to be Mr. Huang. It's been a long time since I last saw you."

Watching Xue Chen come down from upstairs, Huang Pinqing's face turned slightly blue, and anger burst out from his eyes, which aroused the pain in his heart.

He was exposed by Xue Chen because he teamed up with outsiders to sell counterfeit goods in a Daxing antique shop, and was fired by Shen Wanjun angrily. From then on, his life became miserable.

Although his skills are not at the top level in the antique circle, it is still easy to make a living. However, Shen Wanjun's influence in the Haicheng antique circle is too great. Knowing that he has angered Shen Wanjun, everyone Antique shops were afraid to hire him, which made it difficult for him to move forward in the antique circle and even find a job.

After trying several times but failing to find a job related to antiques, he fell ill and took a rest for half a year before he completely recovered from his illness.

After recovering from the illness, he thought about it carefully and felt that as long as Shen Wanjun was still there, Huang Pinqing would not have a foothold in Haicheng. Moreover, he had heard several times that Xue Chen's reputation was getting better and better, which made him even more I feel unhappy.

So, he decided to leave the sad place of Haicheng and came to Yang'an City, the provincial capital some time ago. He wanted to start over in Yang'an City. Just a few days ago, he saw on the Internet that an antique store was recruiting experts. A master shop for antique appreciation.

He dressed up carefully and drove here. When he saw the location of this newly opened antique store, he was immediately shocked because he felt that the location of this store was really good and would definitely bring good business in the future. Xinglong immediately felt a little more enthusiastic. If he could stay in this store, his future income would definitely be the same.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the store, he met Xue Chen again, the person who made him what he is today!

Xue Chao glanced at Huang Pinqing, then at Xue Chen, and said from the side: "Xue Chen, do you know this old gentleman?"

Xue Chen walked down the stairs step by step and said with a smile: "We are not just acquaintances, we have known each other for a long time."

Huang Pinqing snorted coldly, looked embarrassed, and asked: "Xue Chen, why are you here?"

"Why am I here? The reason is simple, because this is my store." Xue Chen glanced at Huang Pinqing and replied lightly.

"Your shop?" Huang Pinqing asked with a sharp voice and wide eyes.

"Yes, it's a branch I invested in." Xue Chen shrugged his shoulders and said with a raised corner of his mouth.

"It's still a branch..." Huang Pinqing's face turned purple for a while, feeling extremely embarrassed. He never dreamed that the antique store he was very optimistic about turned out to be a branch opened by Xue Chen. He was silent for a moment, glanced at Xue Chen in shame, and turned his head. About to leave.

"Mr. Huang, didn't you come here to apply for a job? Why are you leaving now?" Xue Chen sat on the chair and said calmly.

Huang Pinqing stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and looked at Xue Chen, with a solemn face, and hummed: "Xue Chen, why are you staying here if I don't leave? Are you going to keep me?"

"How do you know I won't hire you if you don't try?" Xue Chen said with a faint smile on his face.

"Xue Chen, don't think that I don't know your inner plan. Don't you just want to take the opportunity to continue to humiliate me? You will kick me away in the end, right? I will not be fooled by you." Huang Pinqing watched closely.

He looked at Xue Chen and said.

"That's wrong. The grievances between Mr. Huang and I are in the past. There is no need to mention the past. I still understand Mr. Huang's level of antique appraisal. If you are willing to stay, I can hire you.

Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you to stay, just feel free to do so." Xue Chen said in a calm tone.

Huang Pinqing had already walked to the door and had already stepped out of the threshold with one foot. But after hearing Xue Chen's words, he hesitated for a moment and took back the foot that he had stepped out. After turning around, he looked directly at

Looking at Xue Chen, the expression on his face also changed one after another.

After a long while, Huang Pinqing asked: "Is what you said true?"

"Of course." Xue Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the hesitant Huang Pinqing.

Huang Pinqing was struggling in his heart at the moment. On the one hand, he liked this job very much and felt that it should be a promising career. However, the fact that Xue Chen was an investor in this store made him feel very uncomfortable.

If he stayed, wouldn't he be working for Xue Chen and becoming Xue Chen's subordinate? This was difficult for him to accept. You must know that half a year ago, he was an appraiser in Daxing and was considered the number one figure in the antique circle of Haicheng City.

, and Xue Chen is just a little apprentice.

Xue Chen naturally had his own plans when he planned to keep Huang Pinqing. The most important point was that Huang Pinqing was still good at appraising antiques. Otherwise, he would not have been able to work as an appraiser in Daxing. If Huang Pinqing left, he would want to find such a suitable person.

It's really not an easy thing for people to come.

As for some of the conflicts in the past, he has indeed downplayed them a lot. Moreover, the person who bossed him around in the past has now become an employee of his, working for him and making money for himself. Isn't this interesting?

He is not worried about Huang Pinqing being resentful or harboring evil intentions towards him. Huang Pinqing fell into his hands in the past, and now, he can no longer even think about making waves again.

"Okay, I'll stay and give it a try, but if I'm not satisfied, I'll leave." Huang Pinqing finally said this. As soon as the words came out, his face became a little unbearable and turned a little red. It was obvious that

I also feel a little disappointed.

"That's good. After a few days of opening, we can set a one-month trial period. If both parties are satisfied, it's best. If one party is not satisfied, then we can just break up. How about it?" Xue Chen seemed like

He looked at Huang Pinqing with a smile.

"I agree." Huang Pinqing nodded with twinkling eyes.

Xue Chao stepped forward and shook hands with Huang Pinqing: "Welcome Mr. Huang."

Just when Huang Pinqing agreed to stay, the door of the shop was pushed open, and three men walked in from the outside. The leader was a man with a horse face wearing a black vest, wearing a gold chain around his neck, and under his arm.
