I carry a space ring: Travel back to 1939

Chapter 23 I Want to Resign, but There's No Way

When Gu Wenxuan woke up in the morning, he ate the delicious breakfast his mother made for him.

He thought about it and decided that he hadn't been to work for several days, so he decided to go to the detective team and then think of an excuse to go to the gendarmerie and fire the captain of the detective team.

He doesn't want to be the captain of the detective team and suffer such humiliation. Now that he has money and space, it would be too cheap to make money.

Just as I walked into their shop and was about to leave, I saw a middle-aged man in a long gown and a top hat, hurried in with a bundle in his hand.

Walking up to the counter, he said to the guys, "Hey guys, do you sell celebrity paintings?"

The guys shook their heads: "We mainly sell study items here, and they are all newly made. This is not an antique shop."

Gu Wenxuan always felt that he was familiar with this man, but he couldn't remember his name.

Seeing the man about to walk out of their shop, he hurriedly stepped forward and called out, "Sir, please stay. Can I see your calligraphy and paintings?"

The middle-aged man stopped hesitantly.

He couldn't help but look at Gu Wenxuan: "Hey, isn't this Captain Gu from the detective team? Why are you here so early?"

Gu Wenxuan: "Sir, you know me. I also think you look very familiar, but I just can't remember your name."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I work in the police department. We used to be in the same unit. You forgot, my last name is Kang, and my name is Kang Cheng."

When the middle-aged man said this, Gu Wenxuan suddenly remembered that this person was the secretary of the police chief named Kang Cheng: "Oh, it turns out to be Secretary Kang, look at my brain!

I just left the police department, and in just one year I have forgotten about our Secretary Kang. This is my sin. Please forgive me, Secretary Kang. Please take a seat!

This is our family shop!"

When Kang Cheng heard that the shop was opened by someone else, he understood why this person was hanging around the shop so early.

At this time, Jia Wenxuan's mother also came out.

Gu Wenxuan quickly introduced his mother and father: "Secretary Kang, this is my father, Gu Hengzhi, and this is my mother, Jiang Xueling. Please take good care of me in the future!"

The two sides exchanged greetings again, and Jiang Xueling asked her servants to bring some high-quality fragrant tea.

At this time, they got back to the point: "Mr. Kang, are you here today to sell famous calligraphy and paintings? Can I take a look?"

Kang Cheng smiled and said, "Of course you can watch it. I originally sold it, but I'm a little short of money recently!"

Kang Cheng had nothing to be embarrassed about and said it directly.

Mr. Kang Cheng brought more than 10 pieces of calligraphy and paintings, including five or six calligraphy works and seven or eight paintings. Although they are not from famous artists, they are all works with the signature of "Chen".

At that time, the "Chen" mark was still quite popular. The so-called "Chen" mark refers to paintings or calligraphy works mostly by officials in the court.

The signature may be "Luochen Moumou Gonghui" or "Painted by this person". Calligraphy and paintings with such signatures are a little more expensive than ordinary ones.

Most of these calligraphy and painting works were painted by court officials in the early and mid-Qing Dynasty, including several by Liu Luoguo and Liu Yong.

There is also one by Prince Cheng, and another one is a painting of Han Cypress by Emperor Qianlong. This one is the most precious, but it is not very valuable at that time.

Gu Wenxuan used his supernatural eyes to check that these things were all genuine, so he put down the calligraphy and paintings and asked Kang Cheng: "Secretary Kang, how much do you want to sell these calligraphy and paintings for?"

Secretary Kang Cheng rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly: "Brother Gu, I'll tell you the truth, I lost 3 yuan playing cards with someone, and now the three-day deadline is coming, I have no choice but to take out these calligraphy and paintings.

I spent 1 yuan when I bought these calligraphy and paintings. Now I am selling them at half the price, 5000 yuan. This is still not enough to make up for the loss. I am thinking of selling one of my yards to make up the difference."

Thirty thousand dollars! Gu Wenxuan estimated the paintings and calligraphy. To be honest, he was afraid that his estimate of 3000 dollars was too expensive.

Nowadays, an ordinary Qing Dynasty calligraphy or painting costs only two or three hundred dollars on the market.

Although Qianlong's painting of pine and cypress has extremely high value in later generations.

But at this time it is probably only worth 1000 yuan.

But when Gu Wenxuan thought of the secretary of the chief of the Cannes Police Department, he wanted to get to know this person. After all, he had done some shameful things, and what if he had to ask for help from him sometime?

"Secretary Kang, you don't have to sell your yard. I spent 3 yuan to buy your calligraphy and paintings. Just consider it as making friends with you, even though we know each other and have worked in the same unit before.

But how about we get to know each other again and get along as real friends from now on?"

Secretary Kang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up with a smile on his face and shook Gu Wenxuan's hand heavily:

"Brother Gu, let's not talk about anything else. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. I will never refuse as long as I can do it!"

When the father and mother standing far away heard that Gu Wenxuan spent 5000 yuan on calligraphy and paintings that others would have sold for 3 yuan, they could only curse their stupid son in their hearts.

Mother Jiang Xueling was still feeling sad that she had to spend the money she had just received yesterday, but she did not expect that Gu Wenxuan would take out a silver note from his pocket.

It was a silver note of 3 oceans, which he handed directly to Cannes.

Jiang Xueling and her husband looked at each other and whispered, "This bastard has saved so much private money. After that man leaves, let's search him and see how much money he has.

No matter how rich you are, you can't spend it like him. If you don't find out from him, you'll be broke in two days!"

Gu Hengzhi nodded silently, and Gu Wenxuan saw his parents' little movements out of the corner of his eye.

He knew the meaning behind his parents' actions. He knew that if he didn't leave, he would be beaten half to death by the two of them, and all his private money would be taken away.

So he asked the servants to put away the more than 10 pieces of calligraphy and paintings, and walked out of the door with Secretary Kang. On the way out, he gave his mother a look and walked out triumphantly.

Jiang Xueling waved her fists, but was helpless. After all, her son was grown up now and she had to save face in front of outsiders!

When he walked out of the door, he saw Cannes.

After all, she is the secretary of the police chief, so she has style.

There was a car parked outside the door. Secretary Kang asked him, "Brother Gu, are you going to work? Do you have a car? If not, I'll give you a ride!"

Gu Wenxuan shook his head and said, "I haven't got my driver's license yet, but I can drive a little bit!"

Secretary Kang waved his hand and said, "I'll ask my staff to get you a driver's license someday. Driving is actually very easy to learn. Once you have a car, you'll learn it in a few days."

Gu Wenxuan got on the car in Cannes:

"Brother Gu, how are you doing in the detective team?"

Gu Wenxuan: "Actually, I don't want to work in the detective team anymore. I want to quit, and my mom also wants me to go back to business!"

Secretary Kang smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy for you to resign recently. One reason is that the detective team is short of manpower, and the other is that you have arrested more than 20 bandits recently. The Japanese now value you very much!

Even our police station often wants to catch you during casual conversations. You are very capable working in our police department and many people are paying attention to you!

So you probably won’t be able to quit your job.”

Gu Wenxuan lamented in his heart, damn, he tried to catch Zeng Manniu, but he caught the wrong person. He should have known not to catch them.

"In fact, Brother Gu, you should just work hard in the detective team. Although the detective team has a bad reputation, it is also a protective umbrella for your family's business!"

Gu Wenxuan nodded silently, and then said: "Secretary Kang, you are right. No one comes to disturb me when I do business at home. It's all because of my reputation as a traitor!"
