"If you, a cunning and cunning person like Tao Ronghua, do anything casually..."
"You will suffer a loss."
I said and asked Chen Cheng to think about the previous scenes.
Even if Chen Cheng was really good at fighting, it would be difficult for him to fight with two fists.
You won't be able to kill everyone after learning a few lessons from Han Shijin.
Lu Yunchuan ordered the money, and I took the money and deposited it into my bank card.
I placed the transaction location at Ronghua Antique Shop.
Two nights later, I took Chen Cheng and Han Jian to the back door of Ronghua Antiques Store.
Tao Ronghua and several of his men are already waiting here.
"Where's the stuff?"
I took out the wrapped sword and laid it in front of them, "My painting."
"here."
Tao Ronghua waved his hand, and the subordinate came behind him, took out the painting and opened it for me to confirm the authenticity.
After confirming, I handed over the sword in one hand and took the painting with Chen Cheng in the other.
But Tao Ronghua smiled sinisterly, "Boy, enjoy your last few days."
"I also ask you to enjoy the last few days and take care of yourself when it comes to blowing up ships and smuggling."
Regardless of whether I have confidence or not, at this time, I can’t lose my momentum.
After taking the painting back to the basement and blocking the back door with a van, Chen Cheng and I took the car home together.
"By the way, Shen Fan, I remember Mr. Zhou said that there seems to be some kind of test?"
"Is it just the past two days?"
Chen Cheng suddenly remembered something and asked.
I just remembered that Zhou Jianguo mentioned some kind of qualification test before...
The "examiner" is Tao Ronghua!
Only then did I realize what Tao Ronghua had just said.
"It's okay, I'm good at this kind of identification."
I spoke easily, which made Chen Cheng feel at ease.
At this time Zhou Jianguo called.
"Brother Shen, the time has been set. The test of your qualifications will be in five days. In the afternoon, we will drive over to pick you up."
Zhou Jianguo said directly, "Be prepared, Tao Ronghua will probably try his best to make things difficult for you."
"I know, I was warned by him just now."
I asked casually, "What will happen if the test fails?"
"You can continue to look at the store, but any buyer who knows antiques in Hezhou will not patronize it."
Zhou Jianguo cleared his throat and became serious, "If you go to the wholesale market, there will be no boss to buy goods for you."
"clear."
I nodded.
"Is that sword still with you?"
Sure enough, Zhou Jianguo didn't just call me to tell me about the qualification test.
"I gave it back to Tao Ronghua."
I said bluntly, "It's a hot potato. Uncle Seven doesn't want to touch it. I think it's better to give it back to him."
"How did you..."
Zhou Jianguo suddenly became anxious, "You should let it go for a few days. Uncle Seventh will be able to do something about it."
"Tao Ronghua has already forced himself on my face. If you wait a little longer, will you meet me in prison?"
I said coldly, "I know that if I didn't follow him, he would be unhappy, but I have my own principles."
"Okay, Uncle Seven, I will explain."
Zhou Jianguo sighed, "But someone told Uncle Seven that you were following Tao Ronghua. Is it true?"
"Fake."
I only said these two words.
It has nothing to do with me whether he believes it or not. My mind at the moment is on a battle of wits and courage with Tao Ronghua.
"Okay, I believe you, but many people on Uncle Seventh's side will stay away from you, so you can take care of yourself."
Zhou Jianguo sighed again as he spoke.
"Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Cheng and I got out of the car.
…
I didn’t make any preparations for the appraisal, and it just took five days.
Early that morning, Zhou Jianguo's car drove to the door of my store.
"Brother Shen, let's go."
After getting off the car, he walked straight in.
I asked Chen Cheng to look after the store for me, and then slowly walked into Zhou Jianguo's car.
There was another person in the car - Amelia Su.
"I thought there might be some misunderstanding between you, so I brought Miss Su here."
Although Zhou Jianguo didn't say it explicitly, I knew he was referring to the fact that "someone said that I took refuge in Tao Ronghua."
I heard it then too.
I guess she also said a lot of bad things about me at my seventh uncle's place.
"Uncle Zhou, if you tell me you want to pick him up, I won't come!"
Amelia Su looked at me with disgust, "Stop the car, I want to get off!"
"Miss Su, I remember you just said you wanted to come and take a look at the appraisal qualification test."
Zhou Jianguo said thoughtfully, "Isn't your relationship much better before?"
"Who has a better relationship with him? If he can't reach my grandfather, he will go to Tao Ronghua."
Su Yu said and pulled the car handle. Fortunately, the car lock would not open the door at once, "This test is fake!"
"You will know if it is true or false."
Seeing Su Yu like this, it is absolutely impossible to explain the truth, so she can only let her see the facts.
Tao Ronghua "declared war" on me five days ago, and he would not let me pass the test.
"I'll just see how you cheat! I'll keep an eye on you!"
Su Yu said fiercely, "Uncle Zhou, my grandpa will be here too, right?"
When Zhou Jianguo nodded, she scolded me again, "Let grandpa see what kind of face you are! Hmph!"
Not long after, the car drove to a high-rise building in the center of Hezhou.
I read the introduction and it turns out that the 13th to 16th floors are the territory of the Hezhou Antiques Association.
I got on the elevator and reached the thirteenth floor in a blink of an eye.
Many big shots were greeting each other in the hall on the thirteenth floor.
"Seventh uncle, long time no see..."
"Mr. Tao..."
There are countless people who fawn over each other.
"Seventh Uncle, Shen Fan is here."
When Zhou Jianguo said this, the seventh uncle walked up to me.
He still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of distrust towards me, "Relax, it's just a test. If you pass it, you will be considered a member. It will make things easier for you."
After I thanked my seventh uncle, another middle-aged man came over.
"Seventh Uncle, why haven't I seen this person before?"
The middle-aged man was wearing a suit and exuding an aura of aura.
"Secretary Liu, the last time we met was probably half a year ago, right?"
After the seventh uncle exchanged pleasantries, he introduced me to Secretary Liu, "He is today's protagonist, Shen Fan, the one who is going to take the qualification test."
Secretary Liu, Liu Qingzhong, deputy secretary of Hezhou, Tao Ronghua's backer.
I have heard this a lot from Xiao Chen and Ronaldinho before.
"I've met Secretary Liu."
I bowed my hands.
"Well, not bad, he can be considered a young talent, so perform well."
Liu Qingzhong said and turned around to greet Tao Ronghua.
"Shen Fan, get ready. We will start soon. We will all be watching."
Uncle Qi patted me on the shoulder and went to the side room to rest.
Not long after, the tables and chairs in the hall were taken away by the waiters, and the layout was like a meeting in the hall.
The middle space was empty, with only a table surrounded by various tables and chairs.
All members, including Uncle Qi, took their seats one after another.
Tao Ronghua sat at the front, with Liu Qingzhong next to him.
According to some gossip I just heard, Liu Qingzhong was specially invited by Tao Ronghua.
"Everyone, today, Shen Fan will undergo a qualification test to confirm whether he can become a member of our Hezhou Antiques Association."
