I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Chapter 211: New Year's Eve

What Ye Ming actually said was that he hoped that the senior leaders would intervene.

Today, the value of antiques has skyrocketed, so we can no longer turn a blind eye to them as we did in the past.

Although it is impossible to completely eliminate antique counterfeiting, corresponding crackdown measures need to be introduced as soon as possible.

The area is vast, and antiques may circulate everywhere;

Over the years, even if antiques are still underground and have not been unearthed, someone may have evil intentions towards them.

In the past, such behavior had little benefit, so few people did it, and the cost of supervision was high, so no one cared;

Now the situation has reversed, with more daring people acting recklessly. Although the cost of supervision is high, the benefits are greater, which has formed a delicate balance.

"Boss, I am willing to donate money for this matter. I mainly want to build a special team."

Ye Ming restrained his smile and said seriously.

He knew very well that at the other end of history, there were many phenomena of wild growth during this period.

When all the antiques in public were divided up, many ancient tombs were also destroyed.

Antiques are valuable because they carry a piece of history.

Through antiques, people can get a glimpse of the brilliant moments in the long river of time.

In comparison, ancient tombs are more valuable. Antiques are just a glimpse of history, but through ancient tombs, we can look back to the past. A piece of bamboo slip or a pattern can show a prosperous era.

"Well, you are such a jerk. You won't let me have some peace and quiet during the New Year!"

The big boss laughed and scolded, then understood Ye Ming's good intentions.

"It's New Year's Day, so we don't have to cause trouble for everyone!"

Seeing that the leader agreed, Ye Ming hurriedly stood up and poured tea.

Seeing him acting like a good boy after getting an advantage, the big boss' smile became even wider.

Even though Ye Ming caused him a lot of trouble, he just couldn't hate him.

Just as he was about to make a move, the big boss lifted the chess piece up again.

"You almost fooled me!"

At this moment, Ye Ming had already sat down opposite the big leader again, staring at the chessboard intently.

"You have almost plundered all the antiques and treasures in the city. No matter how capable others are, they can't do anything without rice.

Now, they have conjured up this batch of antiques in front of an expert like you. If there is nothing strange about it, I will never believe it!"

A long time ago, Ye Ming told him that nearly 80% of the antiques in Sijiu City were in his hands.

Now a batch of antiques of unknown origin suddenly appeared, and he believed that Ye Ming must have insight into this.

Ye Ming responded with a smile: "Boss, what you said is really sharp. I have reminded you of this before: 'there must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary'.

I originally wanted to enlighten you, but I didn't expect you to figure it out first."

The leader pondered for a moment, then quickly realized that his words had inadvertently helped Ye Ming, and he did not feel annoyed.

He was also curious about the view that "there must be something wrong when things are abnormal."

"Are you saying that this batch of stuff might be counterfeit?" The big boss quickly sorted out his thoughts.

Seeing this, Ye Ming praised: "The leader is wise. You have already figured out the key point before I even opened my mouth! As far as I know, there may be a counterfeiting gang in the city. I have already sent people to follow them. It shouldn't be a big problem.

Some people are blinded by greed and are destined to pay the price for it. This is the norm in the world."

"It's really hard to guard against!" The big boss sighed as he placed the chess piece. The booming antique market naturally attracted the covetousness of all kinds of scoundrels.

However, Ye Ming raised his lips slightly and took over his move: "Hey, you missed a move here just when we were talking about the most important thing! But, you are the leader, you have the final say."

Seeing that the big boss wanted to regret his move, Ye Ming smiled and put the chess piece away: "Look, you are bullying me, a junior, again. This move doesn't count. Let's start over!"

At this moment, the boss’s wife happened to witness this scene and immediately stood up for Ye Ming: “You really are talking about things that are not related to the topic. Xiao Ye is almost at the end of her rope. Let’s see who you will play chess with when the time comes!”

Chapter 162: Su Meng invites Han Chunming to appraise the treasure

After the game, Ye Ming personally cooked a sumptuous lunch.

It’s New Year and I’m visiting my superiors, so I can’t come empty-handed.

Although he seldom cooks, his cooking skills are still superb, and the lunch is even more colorful than the New Year's Eve dinner.

The leader looked at the table full of delicacies and couldn't help but praise: "I haven't tasted Xiaoye's cooking for a while. Just smelling the aroma makes my appetite come!"

Xiao Xin came to the table and said jokingly, "Boss, if you like it, why not let Brother Xiao Ye come over and cook for you every day!"

The big boss laughed and said, "That's great, but unfortunately I can't assign this busy person to another position now!"

Ye Ming added, "I'm not busy at all. Although I have a big business, Sister Lou and Chunming help me with all the trivial matters. Apart from occasionally going to have a drink with Uncle Guan, I spend most of my time resting at home."

Ye Ming looked at his sister helplessly, and she made a playful face.

The atmosphere at the table was harmonious and everyone was enjoying their meal.

When leaving, the leader looked at the children reluctantly and told Ye Ming to visit them often.

You can't be idle after retirement, but you do need to find some fun.

Ye Ming understood it tacitly and agreed with a smile.

There are many things to do after the New Year, so arranging for Ran Qiuye to bring the children to visit the leader's home is a good opportunity to enhance the relationship between them.

When they drove away from the leader's house and returned to the entrance of the courtyard alley, they noticed a Santana sedan occupying a parking space.

"Is this the new car Chunming bought?" Ran Qiuye guessed.

Ye Ming shook his head and replied, "Chun Ming will not compete with me for the parking space. He knows his limits and pays special attention to these small matters."

"Whose car is that? The Su family's?" Ran Qiuye asked.

Ye Ming spread his hands: "It's not clear yet, we'll know when we get in."

After he parked his car in a different spot, he walked into the yard holding his daughter Zixuan.

There was no need to ask any more questions. Seeing a group of people surrounding Cheng's father with smug looks on their faces, it was easy to guess that the car belonged to Cheng Jianjun.

After Ran Qiuye learned the owner of the car, he did not comment much, but was just a little curious.

But Ye Ming secretly kept a watchful eye.

Su Meng was strolling leisurely in the yard.

Although Uncle Liu came to the courtyard, it was not easy for him to have direct contact with Cheng Jianjun, after all, his status and position were there.

It is not convenient for Su Meng to go directly to Cheng's house as it may cause misunderstanding during the Spring Festival.

The best strategy is to meet Cheng Jianjun by chance in the courtyard.

She strolled in the courtyard for a while, and after chatting with several acquaintances, she finally "happened" to meet Cheng Jianjun.

"Su Meng?" After seeing Su Meng, Cheng Jianjun walked up to her and greeted her with a smile.

"Long time no see!" Su Meng also responded with a smile.

"I heard from my mother that you seemed to have come to me. Is there anything I can help you with?" Cheng Jianjun brought up the topic.
