Superpower: One glance for ten thousand years

Yang Xiaoxian took Dou Xiaobao to a courtyard house.

This is a three-in-a-siheyuan. You can reach the main room through the narrow courtyard, where a middle-aged man is leisurely sipping tea.

"Boss, Dou Xiaobao is here."

The middle-aged man stood up and shook hands with Dou Xiaobao.

"I'm Xu Daling, nice to meet you."

"Hello, I am Dou Xiaobao."

"Sit down, how about trying this tea?"

Xu Daling said and sat down.

Dou Xiaobao looked at Yang Xiaoxian and Xu Daling in confusion.

"This is where you work?"

“This is where we entertain our guests.”

Xu Daling said and put the tea cup in front of Dou Xiaobao.

"I wonder what you do?"

"This is kept secret for now."

Xu Daling looked at Dou Xiaobao and said.

"I heard from Xiaoxian that you are very good at stone gambling?"

"I have some experience. It's not as exaggerated as what she said."

Dou Xiaobao felt a little unable to see through the other party and said modestly.

"In the first trial of water in the provincial capital, I unlocked a piece of jade worth more than [-] billion, and in Zaohua City, I unlocked a piece of jade worth [-] million. This is not something ordinary people can do."

Xu Daling chuckled.

"You investigate me?"

Dou Xiaobao was startled and his eyes suddenly widened.

"take it easy."

Xu Daling waved his hand and said.

"Do we still need to investigate this? Liu Shaoqiang's Hui Hui Pavilion and the Stone Gambling Shop you opened are very famous."

"What else do you know?"

Dou Xiaobao asked, staring at the other party closely.

"You know a lot more than you think, but don't be nervous."

Xu Daling smiled.

"Let me briefly introduce our unit. It is called the Fourteenth Bureau to the outside world. It is under the management of national security. It is actually the alliance of superpowers. I was appointed by the above to be responsible for the operation of the alliance and the investigation of some special personnel."

"So Yang Xiaoxian is also a member of the Alliance of Superpowers? I wonder what superpowers she has?"

"It's true that she is one of ours, but she is just a peripheral member and has no special powers."

Xu Daling directly denied it.

"I don't know what you want from me?"

"We need people like you."

"What do you mean?"

"You know that we in the [-]th Bureau need strong financial support to investigate some things, but the allocations from above are limited, so we need to raise part of the funds ourselves."

"You mean you want me to get you money?"

"I don't know what you want?"

"What's in it for me?"

"You can join the fourteenth round."

"Not interested in."

Dou Xiaobao shook his head.

"I heard that you are preparing to take the civil service exam?"

Xu Daling changed the topic.

"I have passed the written test and will have an interview next month."

Dou Xiaobao looked at Yang Xiaoxian and did not deny it.

"All the people in the [-]th Bureau are organized, so they don't have to work so hard to take the exam."

"I'm not interested in these fourteen games. What's more, the few times I opened the top-quality jadeite, it was just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. It was a coincidence."

Dou Xiaobao refused again.

"You don't have to do anything else when you enter the [-]th round. Just help us identify a batch of rough stones every month."

"that's it?"

"Correct."

“Where do the rough stones come from?”

"You don't need to think about this. When the time comes, just come over for appraisal and pick out the valuable ones."

"for how long?"

"It depends on your ability."

"How many times a month?"

"once."

"You mean that as long as I join the Fourteenth Bureau, it will be none of my business to conduct rough stone identification once a month."

"Yes, your main task is to identify the rough stones."

"Why do I feel like it's a fantasy? Just go to work one day a month?"

"If you identify it quickly, it might only take an hour."

Xu Daling smiled.

"How is it? The treatment here is very good."

"The conditions are indeed very good, but it always feels like pie in the sky, which is a bit unreal."

"If you agree, you can ask Xiaoxian to take you to go through the entry procedures now."

"Don't restrict my freedom at other times?"

"People who work here are very free, and we don't need to sit at work."

Dou Xiaobao looked at Yang Xiaoxian and then at Xu Daling, and his heart was indeed moved.

"These must be written into the contract."

"We don't need to sign a contract, you just need to go through the onboarding process."

"Does this conflict with my civil service exam?"

"As long as you go through the entry procedures, you are a civil servant. Why do you need to take the civil service exam?"

"I want to try my hand at it."

"Your level is very high, there's no need to try."

"Just tell me if there is any conflict?"

"No. Our unit is a confidential unit, and the other party cannot find out your information."

"Okay, I promise you. What do you need from me?"

"There is a pile of rough stones in the warehouse. You can help pick out the valuable ones, and then you can go with Xiaoxian to go through the entry procedures."

"Test me?"

"Although they have investigated you very clearly, I still want to see with my own eyes how you select these rough stones. Let's treat it like an interview."

"Where is the warehouse?"

"follow me."

It was obvious that the other party was fully prepared.

Dou Xiaobao followed Xu Daling to the back room of Sanjin Courtyard, which was filled with hundreds of stones, large and small.

"How long will it take to complete?"

Xu Daling looked at Dou Xiaobao and asked.

"Just the three of us?"

Dou Xiaobao looked at Xu Daling and then at Yang Xiaoxian.

"If you two help, we can almost finish picking it before dark."

"What do we need to do?"

Xu Daling asked next.

"I said you move them and place them separately."

"No problem, can we start now?"

"can."

Dou Xiaobao said as he stepped forward and picked up a palm-sized stone.

This is a piece of wooden material, and inside is a piece of full-colored yellow jade, which has reached the level of ice.

"Keep this piece."

Dou Xiaobao handed the stone to Yang Xiaoxian.

In order to prevent the other party from seeing anything, Dou Xiaobao deliberately picked up some stones with no material inside and handed them to Yang Xiaoxian, and asked Xu Daling to remove the rest.

By the time everything was finished, it was already past seven in the evening.

However, these stones are generally good. More than half of the stones must have materials inside, and there are also three pieces of top-quality glass.

One is a glass of imperial green, one is a glass of Fu Lu Shou tricolor, and the other is a glass of red jade weighing more than ten kilograms.

If all these materials are solved, there will be no problem in making billions.

"This is the end?"

Xu Daling was doubtful and felt that Dou Xiaobao was a bit deceptive.

Is this too fast?

"Yeah, what else needs to be done?"

"They need to prove this after they untie it. I wonder how many days you can stay here?"

"If nothing happens, I'll go back tomorrow afternoon."

Dou Xiaobao did not tell the truth.

"That's good. I'll arrange for someone to come over and analyze the stone now. The results should be almost there tomorrow afternoon."

Xu Daling thought for a moment and said.

"It's too late today, and we can't go through the onboarding procedures. I'll be the host. Let's find a place to eat first, and let Xiaoxian take you to go through the onboarding procedures tomorrow."

"No, you are busy with your business. I ate late at lunch and I am not hungry yet."

Dou Xiaobao rejected the other party's kindness.

"Boss, I'll take him there, you can do your business."

Yang Xiaoxian said on the side.

"That's fine, you are familiar with each other after all, so I won't go there."

Xu Daling shook hands with Dou Xiaobao and sent them both out of the courtyard.
