Chapter 85: Treasure that was buried underground
It was almost noon and nearing to the lunch break. Li Qingasked Dong Xuebing to go to the cafeteria with him. "Xuebing, do you have agirlfriend?"
Huh? This question again? Since the day Dong Xuebing enteredthe bureau, at least 4 people had asked the same question. He did not want todiscuss this question. It was because he had never dated anyone before in hislife... This was not something to be proud of. But he must answer whatever hissuperior asked. Dong Xuebing smiled awkwardly and replied: "Not yet. I need tofocus on my work first. Girlfriends can wait. I'm not in a rush." This wasobviously a lie!
As both of them walked out of the grey building, Li Qinglaughed: "I have to scold you for that."
Dong Xuebing laughed.
"Work is work, and you cannot use it as an excuse to notlook for a partner." Li Qing felt slightly guilty for misunderstanding DongXuebing earlier, and he wanted to advise him. "You are very young and have beenpromoted to the Deputy Chief of the General Affairs Office. People will talkbehind your back and unhappy with your promotion. I know you are capable, butyour age is still an issue. That's why you should get a girlfriend and getmarried soon. Don't delay."
".... Married?"
They reached the cafeteria, and Li Qing patted DongXuebing's back. "Think about it yourself."
If Li Qing did not give Dong Xuebing this advice, DongXuebing will still not think about this problem. Indeed, if he were married andhad a family, he would give others the impression that he was more mature thannow. It will overcome his age issue, and it will be good for his career. ButDong Xuebing did not know whether to laugh or cry. Where can he find someone toget married? Who should he get married with? But when he thought about hisfuture wife, two women appeared in his mind. One was Qu Yunxuan, and the otherwas... the woman whom he used BACK to help her get back her catch thepickpocket. The woman who said she will call him to treat him to dinner. Thatgorgeous and sexy woman!
Damn. How come I am thinking about her? This material is rooted in n0velbin★
Dong Xuebing shook his head to remove the image of thatwoman from his head. She had not called him after so long and should haveforgotten about him. He should have no chance to meet her again in the future. Thus,his only choice left was Qu Yunxuan. If he could date Qu Yunxuan, then itshould be a happy ending. Sighed..... But what was Qu Yunxuan thinking now? Damn.This was not the time to be thinking about this. Dong Xuebing must still saveup 1 million RMB to set up a company for Qu Yunxuan first. In the meanwhile, hemust think of ways to capture her heart. With these two methods, Dong Xuebingvow to get Qu Yunxuan within two months!
That's right! Make money first! Even if wasn't for AuntXuan, Dong Xuebing also want to have more money for himself!
Cars, gifts, a house, etc. Everything needs money.
The two most important tasks now were making money andcapturing her heart.
...
Next morning.
The air was dry and cold. Dried leaves were all over thefootpaths.
"What do you think? Stop taking pictures!"
"I am taking my pictures, did I bother you?"
There were some workers carrying bricks behind the middleage man. From his attitude, he should be the supervisor of the workers. Themiddle age man stepped forward and tried to snatch Dong Xuebing's camera. "Thisis our work site. Have you asked for our permission?" The man thought DongXuebign was a reporter. He had received orders from his higher-ups to not letreporters report on their work site and have negative news. This was why thisman was so insistent.
Dong Xuebing dodged and asked with a long face. "This landbelongs to the nation. Since when did this place belong to you?"
The man stared at Dong Xuebing furiously. "Shut up! Give methat camera!"
"I need to be clear to you first. I am not a reporter. I amtaking pictures for me to draw." Dong Xuebing argued and quickly keep thecamera. He looked at him in his eyes. "Why did you try to snatch my thingswithout asking first? Are you a thief? I can't be bothered with you! Where isthe person in charge? Ask the person in charge to come out!" Dong Xuebing wasused to ordering people around these two days and had no problems saying allthose words.
The middle age man laughed. "Oh? You sure can talk big. Youwant to find the leader? I am the leader here!" He said and moved forward totry to snatch Dong Xuebing's bag. "Give me the camera!"
"Stop it!"
At this moment, a few workers who were working beside acollapsed wall and bricks suddenly shouted. One of them threw his spade andkneel on the floor to dig the ground with his hands. He dug out a batteredwooden box cover.
The middle age supervisor asked: "What's wrong?"
A worker with northeast accent shouted: "It's a box. Justnow, I dug out a piece of tile, and it was buried underneath. I think there is atreasure in it!"
The supervisor was surprised. "Treasure?!"
Dong Xuebing was also stunned. He stretched his neck to tryto see what the treasure was. But he could not see it clearly.
Another northeast accented worker, who was kneeling theresaid. "There is a big metal chest in the box. I am not sure what it contains!"
Box? Metal chest?
The middle age man brightens up. He had been in this linefor many years, and he knew that sometimes people will find treasures buriedunderground. This was not uncommon in the industry. Last year, when he was at awork site in Changchun street, he found two jade pendants buried under a house.He sold the pendants for a large sum of money. The middle age man wasoverjoyed. Hahaha. It's my lucky day today. He turned around and stared at DongXuebing. He was no longer interested in getting Dong Xuebing's camera. Heshoved Dong Xuebing: "Ok, ok! Hurry up and get lost!"
You want to chase me away now?
Fat hopes!
After Dong Xuebing saw the wooden box, his eyes alsobrighten up. "BACK!!!"
