Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

"Zhongping Zhongping." Zeng Zhen's voice on the phone was so angry that Zhang Zhongping was taken aback. Zhang Zhongping said, "What's the matter with you? Where are you?" Zeng Zhen said: "I'm in the hospital, Provincial People's Hospital, on the fifth floor, can you come over?" When Zhang Zhongping answered the phone, he was taking a sauna with Brother Jian. Zhang Zhongping told him about the situation, and Brother Jian told him to go quickly. There are a lot of people seeing a doctor in the Provincial People's Hospital, and the hall is full, like a market, but it is rare to see a smiling face.Just as people in prison really understand the value of freedom, people only know the importance of health when they are sick.Perhaps people's facial expressions can also be contagious. No one who came to the hospital was in the mood to smile. Everyone seemed to have a serious expression, with a dead fish expression on their face.

Zeng Zhen was smiling at Zhang Zhongping from afar. Zeng Zhen was sitting in a red plastic armchair in the waiting room of the gynecology clinic on the fifth floor, her eyes were fixed on the elevator entrance. As soon as Zhang Zhongping appeared there, a smile bloomed on her face immediately.Zhang Zhongping saw her at a glance and walked towards her quickly. Zhang Zhongping got closer to see clearly, Zeng Zhen's face was pale, her smile was completely different from usual, it was a kind of weak smile, as if she had put in a lot of effort to mobilize the muscles on her face. Zhang Zhongping held Zeng Zhen's head with one hand, and the other hand grabbed Zeng Zhen's extended hand.The sun was shining outside, but Zeng Zhen's hand was icy cold.

Zhang Zhongping said, "What's the matter?" Zeng Zhen tilted her head and looked at Zhang Zhongping from bottom to top. She quickly smiled at him again, panted, and said, "Praise me quickly, and say I'm great. I'll do it Yes, the fertilized egg you mentioned is already the size of a pea." Zhang Zhongping said: "Didn't you already make an appointment and say that it will be done in two days?" Zeng Zhen said: "Two days later it will be the weekend, I was afraid that you would not be able to come out and accompany me, so I made it earlier."

Zhang Zhongping said, "Why didn't you tell me, how can you do this kind of thing alone?" Zeng Zhen said, "Look, I'm pretty good, aren't I?" Zhang Zhongping said: "You are really stupid. From your point of view, which of the people here came here alone? Don't all of them have their husbands and boyfriends? There is only one kind of person who is not accompanied by anyone, Miss. I listen It is said that those obstetricians and gynecologists have dealt harshly with the young lady, as if they have a deep hatred for them." Zeng Zhen said: "Really? Why didn't I think of this? Okay, don't blame me, okay? Can I change it next time?"

Zhang Zhongping said: "Pooh you crow's mouth, one time is not enough, how about next time?" Zeng Zhen said: "Yes, next time I won't dare not call you. Do you know? I'm just worried. I heard people say that a husband can't see his wife give birth to an abortion operation, and it will affect the husband and wife. Sex life, especially business ones, can’t be watched..." Zhang Zhongping said, "Stop talking. You fool, you big fool." Zeng Zhen said: "Okay, okay, don't blame me, I really don't have the strength. Hey, you go get these medicines first, and then come up to help me go back. I'll wait for you here, okay?"

Zhang Zhongping said yes while holding Zeng Zhen's head, letting it stick tightly to his arms, then scratched her head, and then turned to get the medicine. The elevator in the Provincial People's Hospital is so big that it can push a movable stretcher bed on wheels, and it can squeeze twenty or thirty people into it.The elevators in the outpatient building of the hospital stop on almost every floor, because there are patients going up and down the stairs on every floor.Zhang Zhongping was afraid that others would squeeze Zeng Zhen, so he stretched out his two arms to support the elevator wall, wrapped Zeng Zhen between his arms, Zeng Zhen put his arms around his waist, and leaned on him tightly.

After getting out of the elevator, Zhang Zhongping supported Zeng Zhen and slowly moved up to the parking lot.Zhang Zhongping said, "Does it hurt?" Zeng Zhen said, "It doesn't hurt right now, the anesthetic hasn't gone away, but I have no strength." Zhang Zhongping said, "Let me hug you." Zeng Zhen said, "Forget it Forget it." Zhang Zhongping said: "Then I'll carry you." Zeng Zhen said: "Do you really want Zhu Bajie to carry his wife? Others will laugh when they see it. You help me to walk slowly." Once in the car, Zeng Zhen leaned his head on Zhang Zhongping's right shoulder: "I'm really tired." Zhang Zhongping said: "Then close your eyes and don't talk, let's cultivate your spirit." Zeng Zhen Said: "Okay. Zhongping, do you think I am too weak? I saw the one in front of me. After I finished it, I didn't lie on the bed for a few minutes. I got up and left. It's okay." Zhang Zhongping didn't Speaking, reached out and gently squeezed her arm.

Zhang Zhongping was not in a hurry to drive, he stretched out his arms from Zeng Zhen's back and put his arms around her shoulders.Zeng Zhen raised his face to look at him: "Zhongping, what are you doing this afternoon? Is there something wrong?" Zhang Zhongping said, "I have something to do." Zeng Zhen said, "Is it important?" Oh." He didn't say anything more.Zhang Zhongping said: "The important thing I said is to stay with you at home." Zeng Zhen smiled, the kind of smile with a small plosive sound, a small air current broke through her upper and lower lips .Zeng Zhen said: "You are really annoying, you are necrotic." Zeng Zhen raised his fist, but it did not hit Zhang Zhongping, but naturally drooped, took a piece of facial tissue from the paper box, and quickly put it on Dab it on your face.Zeng Zhen said: "How can I love you so much?" Before Zhang Zhongping could answer, Zeng Zhen said again: "Zhongping, you want to love me."

Zeng Zhen was carried upstairs by Zhang Zhongping. Originally, Zeng Zhen also took two steps, but after seeing if he couldn't do it, he followed him.Stop and take a break at each level.Zeng Zhen said: "Are you tired?" Zhang Zhongping said: "A little bit. I haven't done exercise for a long time." Zeng Zhen said: "No. At least the expression is not accurate. You can only say that you haven't done weight-bearing exercise for a long time , You do other sports every day, such as the kind of sports similar to breaststroke.” Zhang Zhongping said: “You can express it more implicitly. It can be said that we always discuss the art of life in the living room and the art in the bedroom. life. "

Before going to the hospital, Zeng Zhen prepared all the ingredients for cooking, and stored them in the refrigerator, including a black-bone chicken, a fish, ginger, garlic, and bags of seasonings bought from the mall.Zhang Zhongping arranged Zeng Zhen to sleep on the bed and went into the kitchen. Zhang Zhongping said, "It seems that your husband is a gecko climbing the window today." Zeng Zhen said, "How do you say that?" Zeng Zhen said: "Can you do it?" Zhang Zhongping said: "Please, please, don't say those words to me. What do you mean? It makes me feel like the first thing I do tomorrow It’s like going to an old military doctor.” Zeng Zhen said: “Okay, okay, you can do what you want, you can do anything, okay? Hey, didn’t you say that you never go to the kitchen?” Zhang Zhongping said: “ I don’t go to the kitchen because I’m afraid that the dishes I cook are so delicious that you’ll become addicted, and if you’re not careful, you’ll get fat.” Zeng Zhen said, “It’s disgusting. Can’t you say something nice?”

Zeng Zhen said: "Zhongping, you open the door of the kitchen, and I will direct you to operate." Zhang Zhongping said: "Okay, you talk and I do it, and you are responsible for calling me to do it. But, aren't you tired?" Zhen said: "I mainly want to look at you." Zhang Zhongping said: "The chicken feathers are all plucked, what mistakes can I make?" Treat you as my husband?" Zhang Zhongping said: "Okay, I'll just follow your orders, okay? If you want me to go up, I'll go up, if you want me to go down, I'll go down, if you want me to go left, I'll go Go to the left, if you want me to go to the right, I will go to the right, if you want me to be heavy, I will be heavy, if you want me to be light, I will be light. Hey, that’s not right, will I not be a robot or a fool if I want to do this?” Zeng Zhen said: "Are you annoying?" Zhang Zhongping said, "No, I'm not annoying at all." Zhang Zhongping remembered that a similar conversation had happened before, and it seemed to have happened between him and Jiang Xiaolu. In the bathroom of Jiang Xiaolu's house, Zhang Zhongping asked to rub Jiang Xiaolu's back.Zhang Zhongping still remembered that Jiang Xiaolu turned her head and gave him a wet smile. What she said was exactly the same as Zeng Zhen, that is, whether you are annoying or not.His answer was more like a scripture, that is, not annoying, I am not annoying at all. Zhang Zhongping couldn't imagine how such a coincidence could happen.what is going on actually?Or to put it another way - are you bored? Are people really different? Is there really a difference between people? In the afternoon, Zeng Zhen fell asleep all the time. Zhang Zhongping quietly got up from Zeng Zhen's side, then tiptoely put on his clothes and went out.He didn't bring his mobile phone, so he deliberately left it next to Zeng Zhen's pillow. Zhang Zhongping withdrew 200,000 yuan in cash from the bank. Originally, it was very difficult to withdraw so much cash at once. There are two banks downstairs in 3D Company. Minister Xiong of the Finance Department is very close to a director of a certain department of China Merchants Bank. Minister Xiong has a verbal agreement with her, which is to provide convenience for 3D Company to withdraw cash. When Zhang Zhongping brought the money back to Hexi's home, Tang Wen happened to be there, reviewing in the study. Zhang Zhongping said: "Here you are, deposit the money on your card." Tang Wen patted Zhang Zhongping on the head and said, "That's right, Comrade Zhongping is a good comrade and knows how to pay the national tax. Is the victory building finished? " Zhang Zhongping said: "Yes, isn't it?" Tang Wen said: "Shouldn't the commission be calculated to be six or seven hundred thousand?" Zhang Zhongping smiled and said: "Just now I was still praising me, and turned my back Don’t you think it’s too little?” Tang Wen said: “No, just ask casually. Why, can’t you just ask casually?” Zhang Zhongping said: “Yes, why not? It’s okay to ask casually, who called you my wife It’s just that you can ask whatever you want, but I can’t just say it casually. It turns out that I also greeted you before, so I won’t explain the reasoning anymore. I hope you can understand. I’m doing it for your own good, for the good of this family, understand? "Tang Wen said: "Understood. I'm just afraid that you will become bad. Isn't there a saying that a man will become bad if he has money." Zhang Zhongping said: "If you want to become bad, you will already be bad. I don't have it." Money." Tang Wen said: "That's true. If too much money will make a man bad, then don't all wives stop their husbands from making money?" Zhang Zhongping said: "Yes, Isn’t there such a stupid woman? Oh, one more thing, I might have to go to Optimus Prime this afternoon.” Tang Wen said, “Didn’t I already go there not long ago?” Zhang Zhongping said: “ Yes. The auction of Xiangshuihe's corporate shares will be done soon, and there are some things that need to be discussed with Mr. Hu over there." Tang Wen said, "Why do you run to him every time?" Zhang Zhongping sighed, and said: "There is no way, he is the buyer. Now there is only one buyer, how can we do without asking? However, it is still uncertain, mainly depends on how Mr. Hu decides, Did he come here or me? Oh, didn’t he come here last time? I invited you to dinner, but you didn’t go by yourself. Did you forget? You don’t know, some things are very important It's also very sensitive, so it's not easy to talk about it on the phone." Tang Wen said, "Zhong Ping, let me take a good look at you." Zhang Zhongping said, "What's the matter?" Tang Wen said, "Is there any problem with this?" Zhang Zhongping said, "What's the problem?" Tang Wen said: "You seem to be very busy recently. Do you know how long we haven't slept together? And this afternoon, why do I always find it a bit strange? You clearly came back to ask for leave from me, but you gave me the time off first." I have 200,000 yuan, as if I was offering a bribe to me. Also, I just casually mentioned Mr. Hu, and you explained a lot to me, Zhongping, don’t you have any ghosts in your mind?” Zhang Zhongping said: "Look, look, it's my fault. I take the money back, don't I just want to make you happy? Don't I just want you to share the fruits of victory with me? I think you are close Are you too nervous about the exam?" Tang Wen laughed too, and said, "Just kidding, don't be too nervous." Zhang Zhongping just smiled and said: "That's all right now, you tease me, I tease you, shall we really play once?" Tang Wen said: "Forget it, go ahead, make it look like I want a handout from you." Zhang Zhongping looked into Tang Wen's eyes and said, "Then let me beg you, okay?" Tang Wen's eyes are very beautiful, black, bright, and very clear, and her daughter Xiao Yu's eyes are just like Tang Wen's . Tang Wen said, "Stop pestering me any more. If you keep pestering me, I will really doubt you." Zhang Zhongping said: "Doubt is okay, the key is to speak with facts." Tang Wen said: "Where am I going to find out the facts? Ask someone to watch your tail?" Zhang Zhongping said: "Don't, don't, you scared me into a cold sweat." Tang Wen said: "I know you take care of your family very much. Zhongping, Xiaoyu and I depend on you, our mother and I cannot do without you." Zhang Zhongping said, "Yes." Tang Wen said: "If you want to go to Optimus Prime, don't drive, go by plane, it's convenient to drive, but the road is so far away, I'm afraid it's not safe, and it won't save me from worrying about you." Zhang Zhongping said: "It's not certain whether we will go or not. I will call you when the time comes. What about the money? Do you want me to save the money for you?" Tang Wen said: "Look at your tossing. Next time, just pay directly to my card. It's not safe to carry around. It was reported on TV a few days ago that a woman went to a bank on Heping Road. Saving money, being hacked, I don’t know if the case has been solved.” Zhang Zhongping said: "It's convenient to call and call on the card, but there is only a concept of numbers. It feels like money in your hand. Especially the brand-new notes, put it under your nose and sniff, wow, what a lot." Fragrant." Tang Wen said, "That's right, if it's not done well, there will be hundreds of millions of bacteria." Zhang Zhongping said, "You are a man." When Zhang Zhongping returned to Zeng Zhen's side, she was already awake.Seeing Zhang Zhongping coming in, she deliberately turned her back to him.Zhang Zhongping walked over and turned her shoulder gently, and found that her face was wet.Zhang Zhongping sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over to tease her, but she ignored her, Zhang Zhongping said, "What's the matter, baby?" Zeng Zhen hugged him immediately, and said, "Don't sneak away from me like this, don't leave me alone. You said you would stay with me this afternoon." Zhang Zhongping said, "I'll go buy flowers and fruits with you. See, I don't bring my mobile phone either, so I put it next to your head." Zeng Zhen said: "Anyway, don't do this, I won't allow it." Zhang Zhongping said, "Ok, ok, ok, ok." When it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, Zeng Zhen started to cry out in pain.Zhang Zhongping said: "Is it okay to take some anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers?" Zeng Zhen said: "Are the medicines taken casually?" Zhang Zhongping said: "What should I do?" Zeng Zhen said: "It's okay, just wait It's over." Zeng Zhen grabbed Zhang Zhongping's hand, put it on his cheek, and after a while, put it on his stomach again.Zhang Zhongping said: "Would you like to watch something?" Zeng Zhen said: "No." Zhang Zhongping said: "Let me go boil some water and apply a warm compress for you." Zeng Zhen said: "Does the hot compress work?" Zhang Zhongping said: "I don't know, there shouldn't be any harm, right?" Zeng Zhen said: "Forget it." Zhang Zhongping said: "I'd better go." Zeng Zhen said: "Well, you put the things in the room Turn on the lights, turn on the lights in the kitchen, and open the door in the kitchen." Zhang Zhongping called Tang Wen in the kitchen. Zhang Zhongping said: "I'm at Optimus Prime, I just got off the plane." Tang Wen said, "Really? Has Boss Hu come to pick you up?" Zhang Zhongping said, "Yes, yes, do you want to talk to him?" Tang Wen said, "Forget it. I don't know him. Take care of yourself." Zhang Zhongping said: "Okay, then I will turn off the phone. The battery is running out, and I forgot to bring the charger." Tang Wen said, "Hey, hey, when will you come back?" Zhang Zhongping said: "Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, it depends on the situation, okay, okay, I'm hanging up the phone." Zhang Zhongping returned to the bedroom and found that Zeng Zhen was looking at him with a smile, and her eyes were also bright, really piercing. Zhang Zhongping said, "How about it, is it better?" Zeng Zhen said: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all." Zhang Zhongping said, "Didn't you still scream for pain just now?" Zeng Zhen said: "Just now was just now, now is now. The pain just now was real, and now it's not hurting, it's also real." Zhang Zhongping said, "You are a man." Zhang Zhongping's heart skipped a beat. A few hours ago, he said the same thing about Tang Wen. Zeng Zhen said: "You are in Optimus Prime right now, right?" Zhang Zhongping smiled and said, "Isn't it?" Zeng Zhen said: "I hate it, say yes." Zhang Zhongping said, "Yes." Zeng Zhen said: "You can go back the day after tomorrow, right?" Zhang Zhongping said: "Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, it depends." Zeng Zhen said, "No, the day after tomorrow." Zhang Zhongping said, "Okay, the day after tomorrow." Zeng Zhen said: "Don't boil the water, go to sleep." Zhang Zhongping said, "Why, are you really not in pain anymore?" Zeng Zhen said: "It really doesn't hurt anymore. Hurry up, you turn on the lights and come to sleep with me, okay?" Zhang Zhongping said, "Okay." Zeng Zhen said: "Zhong Ping, you love me, don't you?" Zhang Zhongping said, "Yes." Zeng Zhen said: "I love you for a reason, isn't it?" Zhang Zhongping said, "I don't know." Zeng Zhen said, "No, say yes." Zhang Zhongping said, "Okay, yes." After being quiet for a while, Zeng Zhen opened his eyes again.Zeng Zhen smiled and said, "I have a question for you, but don't lie to me." Zhang Zhongping said, "When have I lied to you?" Zeng Zhen said: "Sometimes it's okay to lie. However, I don't want to discuss this issue with you. Do you know? I was so worried just now. This is also the question I want to ask you. If she agreed to talk to Mr. Hu just now Call, what do you do?" Zhang Zhongping said: "She won't. If she is that kind of person, would I dare to say that?" Zeng Zhen said: "You know her pretty well. But, what if she wants it? Didn't you ask her if she wanted to talk to Mr. Hu? She just needs to say something casually." Zhang Zhongping said: "If she is really like that, I really don't know what to do." Zeng Zhen said: "Impossible, you must have a way. Tell me quickly." Zhang Zhongping said: "When I called just now, I really didn't think about it." Zeng Zhen said: "I don't believe you will fight unprepared. Tell me, please tell me." Zhang Zhongping said: "If she was really like that, I would probably just scream for a while, and then suddenly turn off the phone, pretending that the phone suddenly ran out of battery. Actually, there is still a loophole in this matter, that is, even I I don't know if there is a flight to Optimus Prime at this time." Zeng Zhen looked at Zhang Zhongping and didn't speak for a long time, then Zeng Zhen said: "How can she be so careless?" After a while, he said: "I am very moved by you, Zhongping, but I don't know why, I feel so careless." It’s not very cool. If you lied to her for me today, will you lie to me for someone else tomorrow?” Zhang Zhongping said, “Why?” Zeng Zhen said, “Well, I’ll hook you up , no matter what happens in the future, you must tell me the truth, and you are not allowed to lie to me like you are lying to others." Zhang Zhongping said: "How come? How can I deceive you? Haven't all my routines been mastered by you?" Zeng Zhen said: "If you intend to deceive others, are you afraid that you won't have new tricks?" Zhang Zhongping said, "I won't." Zeng Zhen said: "Then you swear, you will love me forever, love me and don't bully me." Zhang Zhongping said: "Okay, I swear. Well, there is one more thing. This kind of thing must never happen again. If it is not done well, you may never be able to conceive a child again, you know?" Zeng Zhen said: "I know. The doctor said so. But, this kind of matter cannot be decided by me alone. We discussed this issue. Do you remember what I said? We'd better not let me The first situation mentioned appeared, hum." The catalog of Xu Yi's auction has been printed.A department manager of Xu Yi sent five copies to Zhang Zhongping.Zhang Zhongping was not in the company at the time, but he was thinking about the auction item Ge Yun sent, so he drove over from Zeng Zhen.When Zhang Zhongping met her in the reception room outside, the young and beautiful female manager was reserved, standing up and sitting down.Zhang Zhongping thought that she would leave after delivering the things, but she proposed to visit Zhang Zhongping's office.It's not very easy to refuse a beautiful woman's request, not to mention that this kind of request is not too much, not to mention that she has been waiting for him for almost half an hour.Zhang Zhongping smiled, opened the door of his office and let her in. She only sent Zhang Zhongping a business card at this time.He took out the business card holder from Xiaokun's bag, slowly opened it, and slowly took out one.She did all these movements under Zhang Zhongping's nose, and the orchid fingers danced lively, as if she was embroidering.She was already sitting on the small armchair opposite Zhang Zhongping, but at this moment she stood up, and instead of passing it directly from the opposite side, she walked around the executive desk and came to Zhang Zhongping's side, with her feet together, her two Holding his business card in one hand, he bowed slightly to Zhang Zhongping and said, "Mr. Zhang please." Zhang Zhongping smiled and said, "It's too grand, like submitting credentials." Xu Yi's department manager also smiled and said, "Please take care of me when we meet for the first time." Zhang Zhongping read it carefully and remembered her name, Zhang Xiaojie. Zhang Xiaojie didn't go back to her seat, but just stayed beside Zhang Zhongping.She said that she wanted to visit Zhang Zhongping's office, but it was actually an excuse, because she glanced at Zhang Zhongping's antique shelf when she entered the door, and she didn't stay for more than five seconds. Zhang Zhongping recalled the scene when Zeng Zhen came to his company for the first time. She put both hands in the pockets on the buttocks of her jeans, bouncing around in his office, lying on her back in a dignified manner. Looking in from the Bogu shelf. Zhang Xiaojie said: "I heard from Mr. Xu that Mr. Zhang likes antiques and often participates in other companies' auctions. Mr. Zhang will definitely appreciate the auctions of our company, right?" Zhang Zhongping sat down first, so Zhang Xiaojie standing next to him appeared to be taller than him.Zhang Zhongping raised his hand, meaning to ask her to go back to her seat.But Zhang Xiaojie only looked at Zhang Zhongping's answer, as if he didn't understand his gestures, or pretended not to. Zhang Xiaojie said: "The items in this auction are good, Mr. Zhang should take a look first." Zhang Zhongping wanted to see it a long time ago, so he said, "Okay, let's see it." Before the auction deadline, Zhang Zhongping met with Ge Yun.Facing Zhang Zhongping's inquiry, Ge Yun didn't say a word, just smiled lightly, and made an OK gesture to Zhang Zhongping with her left hand.At that meeting, the two chatted a little.Zhang Zhongping knew that the matter was settled, so he stopped talking.Zhang Zhongping wanted to see how the celadon would look like when it was photographed and printed. Zhang Xiaojie bowed beside Zhang Zhongping, flipping through the beautifully printed album for him.The painting and calligraphy works are skipped. It seems that Zhang Xiaojie still has a little understanding of Zhang Zhongping's hobbies, knowing that he is only interested in porcelain.Zhang Zhongping said to Zhang Xiaojie: "You sit down." Zhang Xiaojie smiled sweetly and said it was okay.Zhang Zhongping can't always say that you are okay and I am, so he doesn't say anything anymore.Zhang Xiaojie leaned against him like that, and showed him page by page.Zhang Zhongping could smell Zhang Xiaojie's scent, it was a faint scent of jasmine.Zhang Xiaojie is still a little far away from Zhang Zhongping, close but not ambiguous, but if Zhang Zhongping squints slightly, you can faintly see the cleavage inside Zhang Xiaojie's neckline.If you stretch out your hand again, you can easily catch her waist or the slightly raised buttocks below her waist.If Zhang Zhongping wanted to do this, he didn't need to move too much, he just pretended to be careless, and at most it was a small accident. Of course Zhang Zhongping would not do this, and Zhang Xiaojie's performance was similar to that of a typical door-to-door beauty salesman.Zhang Zhongping never ate tofu from this kind of person. If he did this, there would be too many opportunities, and Zhang Zhongping would be too busy.Xu Yi Company's group of sunny youth and beautiful girls of the era, which is famous in the Jianghu, turned out to be nothing more than their skills.Of course, Zhang Zhongping would not touch Zhang Xiaojie's cheapness.There is a saying that says that rabbits will not eat grass beside their nests, good horses will not eat grass that turns back, old horses will eat young grass in fashion, and there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world.It is about a successful man, if he has a good heart, opportunities are everywhere.Zhang Zhongping had a dozen or so female secretaries, and some of them were quite pretty, with tender skin, as if water would come out when pinched.Zhang Zhongping has never had any evil intentions, unlike some bosses of private enterprises, who always hire first and then hire, pretending to be public for private, and not distinguishing between public and private.Tang Wen believed in Zhang Zhongping very much, that is, she was certain that Zhang Zhongping would not mess around outside. Those bees and butterflies that were all over the place couldn't catch Zhang Zhongping's insight at all.Tang Wen was not mistaken about this. Zhang Zhongping pushed hard on the soles of his feet, causing the executive chair to slide backwards, increasing the distance between Zhang Xiaojie and Zhang Xiaojie.Zhang Zhongping closed the picture album for Zhang Xiaojie, glanced at her, and said, "Manager Zhang, Mr. Xu has given you a task?" Zhang Xiaojie nodded, "Yes." Zhang Zhongping said, "Is it still there?" Is there a commission?" Zhang Xiaojie didn't shy away from it, and said, "A little bit." Zhang Zhongping groaned, then nodded. Zhang Xiaojie said: "Mr. Zhang, it's hard to write two words in one stroke. We must be one family five hundred years ago. You must help my little sister." Zhang Zhongping said, "How can I help?" Zhang Xiaojie said: "It's very simple. Mr. Zhang must understand the significance of antique collections in prosperous times and troubled times. Mr. Zhang must understand better than me. I just want you to attend this auction and tell our company that you were brought here by me." Guest, that's all right." Zhang Zhongping said: "After a long time, you turned out to be soliciting customers. It sounds so ugly. Let me change a word for you. When you go to other places, you should stop talking about soliciting customers and say invite, isn't it nicer? " Zhang Xiaojie said: "Okay, invite, so Brother Zhang, you agree?" Zhang Zhongping said, "Not yet." Zhang Xiaojie said: "Brother Zhang, my younger sister has already recognized your brother, why didn't you agree?" Zhang Zhongping said: "If I agreed to you casually, wouldn't that be fooling you? Let's talk about it after watching the preview." Zhang Xiaojie said: "Well, Brother Zhang, I will keep an eye on you. You won't bother my little sister, will you?" Zhang Zhongping said, "No way." Zhang Xiaojie said, "Brother gave me a business card." Before Zhang Zhongping could answer, he leaned on the desk and took out Zhang Zhongping's business card from the business card holder with his pointed thumb and middle finger.Unexpectedly, I accidentally brought out an extra one.Zhang Xiaojie handed the one she got into the other hand, and used the two fingers just now to insert the extra one back in. She inserted it for a long time, but to no avail.Zhang Xiaojie said: "I'm sorry." Zhang Zhongping said: "It's too tight, it's not easy to insert, come on, I'll insert it, I will insert it." Zhang Xiaojie said: "Brother, you are so good or bad." Zhang Zhongping woke up a little bit by her , I feel that my statement is indeed a bit ambiguous.In fact, he really has no other meaning.After Zhang Xiaojie said this, she realized it.But he didn't justify it, and once he justified it, it seemed like that was the case. Zhang Xiaojie was also well-behaved. Seeing that Zhang Zhongping was more serious, she stopped discussing good and bad issues with him.Zhang Xiaojie said: "Brother Zhang is a successful man. If you have friends who are interested in our auction, you can tell my younger sister. My younger sister will go to pull it in person... Oh, no, it is to invite, invite." Zhang Zhongping said, "All right." Zhang Xiaojie finally went back to the little round chair.She took out her small mobile phone, looked at Zhang Zhongping's business card in front of Zhang Zhongping, entered his phone number, and put the mobile phone and business card back into Xiaokun's bag.Zhang Xiaojie said: "Brother, should I invite you to dinner or you invite me to dinner?" Zhang Zhongping said: "You don't invite me and I don't want to invite you. Where is the time for dinner?" Zhang Xiaojie said: "Yes, next time Let me invite you next time.” Zhang Zhongping said, “Let’s talk about it next time.” Zhang Xiaojie said, “Okay, brother, shall I take my leave first?” Zhang Zhongping said: "Okay." Zhang Zhongping got up to see off the guest. He didn't expect that Zhang Xiaojie would extend her little hand over. Zhang Zhongping smiled, shook her hand, and then let go.Zhang Zhongping seemed to have suddenly remembered, and asked casually, "Is Manager Jiang from your company okay?" Zhang Xiaojie said, "Is it Jiang Xiaolu?" Zhang Zhongping said, "I don't know what it's called, is there such a person?" Zhang Xiaojie said, "It's over, it's over, has Manager Jiang looked for elder brother?" Zhang Zhongping said: "No. What? Isn't this Jiang Xiaolu very powerful? How could it scare you like this?" Zhang Xiaojie said, "Yes, Manager Jiang is very powerful." Zhang Zhongping said, "How powerful is the method?" Zhang Xiaojie said, "I don't know about that. Even if I knew, my little sister wouldn't tell you." Zhang Zhongping smiled and said, "Isn't it?" Zhang Xiaojie said: "Yes." She had already opened the door, then turned her head and smiled at Zhang Zhongping, and said, "Brother, don't forget the agreement with your younger sister." The way you talk.Zhang Zhongping didn't want to listen to her eyes, so he said it was fine. After Zhang Xiaojie left, Zhang Zhongping carefully looked through the catalog, but there was no piece of celadon.Zhang Zhongping thought he had missed it, so he read it page by page, but still nothing.Zhang Zhongping changed the book and flipped through it again, but still nothing. how is this possible? The first thing Zhang Zhongping thought of was the meeting with Ge Yun.It was in Ge Yun's office, and she happened to be alone. At that time, Zhang Zhongping simply asked, "How is it, sister-in-law?" Of course Ge Yun knew what Zhang Zhongping was asking, and Zhang Zhongping also clearly remembered the way Ge Yun circled his thumb and index finger and pointed the other three fingers at him.Zhang Zhongping and Ge Yun are both highly educated people. Of course, they know that the simple gesture does not represent the Arabic numeral 6, but the English OK. Translated into modern Chinese, it means OK. Gestures that children know. what happened? Was it knocked down by the experts in charge of auction appraisal? It is possible.After all, what is true is true and what is false is false.What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true.Or to put it another way, fakes can fool some people at a certain time, but they cannot fool all people all the time.There are people outside the mountains, and there are people outside the mountains. Fake things will always be seen as flawed, not to mention that this auction is not held by Xu Yi's company.Zhang Zhongping knew that the auction company in Shanghai was famous for its art auctions. Not only did it have a first-class vision, but it also definitely did not allow its partners to make up for it.Otherwise, wouldn't it mean smashing the brands of the two companies?If Zhang Zhongping is replaced, the quality of the lot will be strictly checked. However, what did Ge Yun mean when he told him that everything was OK? Just brush it off like this, and things will be a little troublesome.Zhang Zhongping knew that apart from Times Sunshine Auction Company, he hadn't heard of any company engaged in the auction of cultural relics and artworks in the provinces or cities in the second half of this year or even the first half of next year. How could Ge Yun let this happen? Zhang Zhongping knew that Ge Yun was a meticulous woman, and he still remembered how cautious she was when she burned that little piece of paper at the Langqiao Post Station.Ge Yun is well aware of the seriousness of the matter, and will certainly not allow any mistakes. Taking a step back, if she was not 100% sure at the beginning, Zhang Zhongping could still find a way.After all, Xu Yi already owed him a lot of favors.However, now that the auction catalog has been released, how can I make up for it? As a last resort, I had to persuade Xu Yi to temporarily print a single page by way of additional auctions.However, this method of entering "another volume" is somewhat far-fetched.It would be bad if people knew who provided the items in the separate volume and who the buyers were. It would be like a targeted auction, and it would be tantamount to leaving a handle for others to catch.This kind of risk is too great, and you will be mistaken by your cleverness.Mixed in the entire catalog, of course there are problems in this regard, but because there are so many similar auctions as cover, the target is much smaller. To put it bluntly, what Zhang Zhongping was worried about was the auction of Xiangshuihe legal person shares.If you don't want to shoot, you don't need to go through this process; if you still want to shoot, but don't let the 3D company do it, of course you don't need to let Zhang Zhongping do it. Since the last time I took a sauna with Brother Jian, the two have never seen each other again.Brother Jian asked Zhang Zhongping for news.Zhang Zhongping had something on his mind, so he didn't dare to bother Brother Jian, so he called Ge Yun from time to time. Once, he even gave her two bird food jars on the pretext of asking her for advice. He has a tacit understanding with Ge Yun. He has never said a word about Xiangshuihe's shares.Brother Jian didn't ask her to bring anything.如果那件青瓷上了拍卖图录，表示一切上了正轨，现在没上，就是一个不好的信号，等于原来的约定起了变化，张仲平感到很被动，因为他不清楚这种变化意味着什么。 香水河法人股还会不会拍？ 如果拍，健哥会交给谁来拍？ 如果不拍了，那是没有办法的事，等于事情的发展变化超出了健哥的控制范围。这种希望的破灭，肯定会让张仲平觉得很遗憾。这有一点像钓鱼，好不容易一条大鱼上钩了，你放线收线地忙乎了大半天，以为可以用渔捞去捞了，突然啪地一声，鱼挣脱钩子跑了。钓过鱼的人恐怕都碰到过这种情况，那确实会让人半天回不过神来。 如果拍，却不由3D公司拍，而由另外的公司拍呢？那种心理打击会更惨。就像一条英勇善战的狗，流汗流血地撕杀，终于从一群同类中抢到了那根唯一的骨头，用嘴叼着跑到一边正准备美餐一顿，却横地里不声不响地杀出来另外一条更强悍更狡猾的狗，生生地从你嘴里把那根骨头抢走。But what about you?已经伤痕累累心力交瘁，根本没有半点斗志和力气再进行一场撕杀，只能眼睁睁地看着胜利者大摇大摆的雄姿，你甚至连咆哮一两声的力气都没有了，你能怎么办？唯一能做的事情，就是饿着肚皮夹着尾巴，黯然地躲到另外一个别人看不到的角落，一边舔着自己的伤口，一边咽下自己的屈辱。 张仲平觉得这个比喻有一种自我贬低的色彩，却不能说不贴切。拍卖公司和法院的关系是委托方和被委托方的关系，表面上看起来似乎法律地位平等，其实不然，掌握主动权的、起决定作用的，还是委托方。 作为委托方的代表，健哥会对他做出这种事情来吗？ 其实，从张仲平内心深处来说，他是不想在委托单位找当官的做什么靠山的，更不想和把持着拍卖委托生杀大权的人结盟，将公司的生存与发展依附到某一个人身上。道理太简单了，所谓官场上的权力也就像市场上的财富，总是处在一种不确定的流动状态，财富不是永恒的，权力也不是永恒的，谁能保证你所依附的那个人可以永恒地拥有那个对你有利的位置呢？周运年之于徐艺就是一个例子。前几天，徐艺就在跟张仲平抱怨，说一朝天子一朝臣，国土局的业务已经完全被收回去了，因为新上任的局长有个朋友也成立了一家拍卖公司。不要说这种极端的例子，你依附的官员，总有调动、退休、倒台、下台的时候，即使他上升了，换上了另外一个人，他对这个人的话语权能否继续保持？恐怕逐步消失的可能性更大一些。因为这个新上来的人，也像一个新的树枝，有他自身成长起来的树杆和发展出来的枝桠。更何况，你靠什么建立和维持与某一个权贵者的密切关系呢？这种密切关系究竟是单方面的依赖，还是双方相辅相成的？如果是前者，你在心理上就永远处在一种对人摇尾乞怜的状态。如果是后者，情况反而更加糟糕，因为你们是你中有我我中有你的，可是你又无法全方位地介入他的行政生涯，你无法预计和掌握他自身的安危，因为你只是他的一个侧面，一个层面，一个点，是他错综复杂的关系网中的一个小小的结，而一旦他那一方在别的侧面、别的层面、别的网结上出问题，你就不能不受到牵扯，你的业务你的事业，就完全有可能跟着玩完儿。 但是，理念上的清醒明白是一回事，现实的状况是另外一回事。请问你有别的选择吗？No.当初公司成立了那么久，你在法院做了几单业务？还不是只能靠艺术品拍卖勉强维持生计？如果不是老班长帮你搭上健哥的关系，你的事业能够这样突飞猛进？这大概就是中国商人的悲哀和无奈了，表面上的莺歌燕舞，掩盖了骨头里缺钙的软弱。你要想轻舞飞扬，就必须有所依附。现在你能怎么办？你只能走一步看一步，希望自己运气好一点。 扶桑海岸第三、四层是健哥给他做的，事后的工作，张仲平做得很到位，可以用滴水不漏的成语来形容。健哥事前事后一句话也没有说，都是他与葛云接洽。但张仲平即使是个傻瓜也看得出来，健哥对他是满意的。从这个角度来讲，健哥应该不会另外物色别的拍卖公司，因为这种关系只能是一对一、背靠背的，如果弄得太杂、太乱，总是不安全，健哥冒不起这种风险。 但是，同样的原因，从另外一个角度考虑问题，却又可以成为健哥不再给3D公司做新业务的理由。省里市里这么多拍卖公司，哪家不能做？一个已经做了三千多万拍卖业务的公司，事隔不久又做一笔将近两个亿的拍卖业务，而且委托人、承办法官是同一个人，假如有人对这种做法的合理性提出置疑，能够理直气壮地说得清楚吗？如果真的有人盯着了健哥或者3D公司，甚至根本就不会采取一种光明正大的提问方式，从而给你一个辩解的机会。会有一只看不见的手，动用一股你看不见的力量慢慢地朝你们靠近，从嗅你们的气味开始，在你们最不经意的地方寻找你们的漏洞，然后顺藤摸瓜。健哥当然能够预见到这种可能性，为了避嫌，健哥就完全有可能，另起炉灶给另外一家公司去做。这在股市上叫什么？叫不把所有的蛋放在一个篮子里。但是不对，如果健哥真的打的是这种主意，那他干嘛在这件事才刚刚有一点眉目的时候就将信息透露给你，并要你开始秘密地寻找买家呢？难道，健哥一开始也确实是准备给3D公司做的，只是事到临头又突然改变了主意？ 还有，健哥上面还有主管副院长院长，副院长院长上面也还有更高级别的领导。这件事，不会完全由一个执行局的局长说了算，这一点是肯定的。健哥上面的领导是些什么人？肯定不会是不食人间烟火的圣人。他们也肯定有老婆有孩子，还有小舅子侄儿子小姑子姨妹子或者干脆在另外某个拍卖公司占了干股。毕竟是两个亿的业务，按百分之十的佣金标准算是多少？哪怕是只按百分之五、百分之三的标准算，又是多少？即使健哥的想法一如既往地想给3D公司做，他能够完全控制局面吗？如果他不想给3D公司做或者说没有能力给3D公司做，事情反而简单了。他只要跟张仲平说上五个字就够了，这五个字是――没有办法呀。张仲平除了表示理解还能怎么样呢？他甚至都没有办法真正弄清楚，这种遗憾是属于健哥与他两个人，还是为他张仲平一个人所独有。 以上的这些想法搞得张仲平多少有点担心。他几次抓起了电话要跟健哥联系，却还是忍住了。不管事情的结果怎么样，都必须保持镇静。主动打电话给健哥有什么意义没有？Obviously not.那算什么呢？催促？诘问？Suspect?起码是沉不住气嘛。可是，槌子一敲，上千万就能入账，谁能沉得住气？ 但是，你就得沉住气。尤其在情况不明朗的时候不能先乱了阵脚。因为，像健哥这种身份地位的人，是不会愿意跟一个沉不住气的人打交道的。 两天以后，张仲平终于等到了葛云打来的电话。 葛云说：“有时间见个面吗。” 张仲平说：“还是老地方？” 葛云说：“下午下班后我直接去吧。” 葛云的话让张仲平舒了一口气，原来只是一场虚惊。张仲平不得不佩服葛云的安排。她的安排比原来的计划更缜密。她用一尊唐代的青釉四系罐将张仲平提供的那件青瓷莲花尊换了下来。葛云也带来了时代阳光拍卖公司秋季拍卖会的图录。在浣溪沙包间里，葛云翻阅着图录，指点着给张仲平看：“这才是真正的青瓷，秘色越器。你看，这釉色多么青碧，晶莹润泽，简直像宁静的湖面一样清澈碧绿，你再看这里，多像是一尾游鱼，有人说这是剥釉，但我宁愿相信这是窑变，正是它使整个器物有了灵魂，有了,生命。张总，我可是看家宝贝都拿出来了。我想了很久，卖真货比卖假货好呀。咱们做事，一定得天衣无缝，冒不起那个险啦，是不是？”葛云说着，望着张仲平轻轻地笑了一下。 张仲平当然觉得这样更好。因为这样一来，就经得起查了。那些喜欢多嘴多舌的人，那些喜欢无事生非的人，甚至那些纪检会、检察院的人，恐怕再也没有话可说了，要说，也只能说他张仲平买贵了，不能说买错了。买贵了又怎么样？又不犯法。 在拍卖会上买文物艺术品，成交价高于估计的情况太普通了。首先，艺术品的估价本身就是一个很弹性的问题，很有可能因为委托人的期望值偏低或估价师个人的原因被低估；其次，竞买人在拍卖会上的表现并非只有花钱买东西这一单纯的目的，他有可能会借助拍卖会的平台做秀和炒作，早几年不是有一个报导吗？一家企业花几百万买了一架退役的飞机，却根本不去提货，宁愿让飞机在原来的地方锈掉烂掉，为什么？因为那家商场看中的不是飞机本身的价值，而是购买飞机这一行为本身所带来的广告效应。能够花几百万打广告的企业多得是，可是谁能只花几百万，就让自己的企业在全国范围内一夜成名，成为众多媒体可持续性关注的焦点？拍卖会上的非理性因素还表现在竞买人之间的争强好胜上。When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.在拍卖会上却是实力决定一切。每一次举牌，手臂轻扬，美女和摄像机镜头一齐横扫过来，那是何等的潇洒？尽管这种潇洒的代价是真金白银。但是，只要我愿意，与你又何干？你最多把我当成傻瓜，却不能把我当成骗子。这个世界已经把每个人调教得聪明绝顶了，还会受到一个傻瓜的骗吗？傻瓜犯傻的时候你看得见，傻瓜偷着乐的时候，你可能就看不见了。 面对葛云的安排，张仲平不住地点头，内心里有一股抑制不了的兴奋。毕竟，他与键哥仍然在一条船上，他没有被抛弃。 只有一个小小的技术问题需要处理，那就是青釉四系罐本身的价值。也就是说，他们原来达成默契的那个阿拉伯数字，需要重新填写，得把罐子本身的价格加上去。 葛云会开什么价呢？ 这个问题其实也简单，张仲平决定完全按葛云的意思办。他要是说半个不字，或者只是稍微犹豫一下，那不成讨价还价了吗？ 张仲平当然不会给葛云留下半点让她不舒服的印像。跟葛云讨价还价，就等于跟健哥讨价还价。他有什么资格和砝码这样做？如果说这是一种交易，那么，在张仲平后面排着队准备做这种交易的拍卖公司多了。张仲平唯一能够指望的，就是相信葛云自有分寸。 张仲平说：“嫂子要不要写个数字？”葛云说：“算了，到时候我派个人去参加拍卖会吧。那个人不加价了，东西就归你了。张总你看这样安排好不好？”张仲平望着葛云笑了笑，然后很认真地点了点头。
