80: Chapter 80 The room is full of Jun porcelain

Regarding Sun Ning's curiosity, Secretary Li Chengping looked left and right, smiled mysteriously, and whispered, "I'm just catering to someone's preferences!"

Secretary Li Chengping's words were full of ambiguity, instantly making Sun Ning realize what was going on.

He looked around again, and sure enough, he saw many antique shelves beneath the lavish decor.

The antique shelves were filled with porcelain and some items that looked like antiques.

He looked in another direction, and that wall was covered with many paintings and calligraphy works.

When Sun Ning first came in, he felt that this wall looked out of place.

He had assumed the owner just liked calligraphy and paintings, which is why they were hung so densely.

Through Secretary Li Chengping's ambiguous smile, Sun Ning finally understood the mystery behind it.

He immediately felt a headache and said with disdain, "Secretary Li, why did you book this place? I'm very poor."

Sun Ning was genuinely disgusted; he didn't want to eat in this dirty place and risk getting bad luck on himself.

"Yo, you kid actually know about these things? I thought you only knew how to work, like some kind of white lotus!"

"I originally booked the place in the east of the city, but our Bureau Chief Wang booked this place directly."

Then he pointed to the porcelain on the wall and mocked, "See that? Song Dynasty Jun porcelain. They say it starts at 20,000, and the highest is only 300,000. Does the great tycoon Sun want to make some profit on the price difference?"

Good heavens, Song Dynasty Jun porcelain?

They brought a batch of modern handicrafts from Yuzhou and dared to sell them for 300,000.

How does Bureau Chief Wang dare to do this?

You have to realize it's only 2006; money is far from being as worthless as it is in the future due to inflation.

The key is that this guy is so blatant about it, causing such a stir, without any sense of discretion!

Hearing this, Sun Ning asked, "The food here isn't cooked by some imperial chef, and the ingredients aren't air-freighted from some country, right?"

Secretary Li Chengping was smoking, and he accidentally choked, coughing incessantly.

He finally caught his breath and said with dissatisfaction, "I am the County Magistrate's secretary; would he dare? You must have been watching too many brainless dramas lately!"

Sun Ning laughed happily.

He knew that with Secretary Li Chengping here, the other party probably wouldn't dare do such things, but he still wanted to ask seriously.

He didn't want to be left with the suspicion of bribery.

Just as the two were whispering, a fragrant scent wafted over, successfully attracting the attention of both men.

Sun Ning turned his head to look at the person approaching.

He saw a figure swaying over; the way her hips swayed, it was as if she wanted to hook a man's soul away.

As the woman drew near, Sun Ning felt a sense of disgust.

That exaggerated makeup, with white powder plastered on her face like putty.

The makeup techniques nowadays are really not as advanced as in the future, which made Sun Ning feel very uncomfortable.

"Yo, Secretary Li, you came without even saying a word, so I could welcome you. Doesn't that make me look rude?"

The voice arrived before the person!

Sun Ning felt like he was about to vomit his dinner from the night before.

He couldn't help but glare fiercely at Secretary Li Chengping, but all he got in response was a subtle, helpless shrug.

"How could I trouble Boss Gao? I've long wanted to taste Boss Gao's cooking, and here I am today!"

"That is most welcome. Secretary Li coming here makes my humble shop shine!"

After the two exchanged flattery, Secretary Li Chengping pulled Sun Ning to his side and introduced him, "Boss Gao, this is Sun Ning from Mishui Township."

"Yo, I didn't expect the famous Township Head Sun to be so young and handsome. Truly worthy of being Gongfan County's most eligible bachelor."

Sun Ning had originally prepared to offer a slight touch of his fingers to show respect.

Who knew that his hand would be gripped by Boss Gao.

When she mentioned the eligible bachelor, she even secretly scratched his palm.

Sun Ning immediately pulled his hand out with force, maintaining his composure.

Then he glared fiercely at Secretary Li Chengping again.

Secretary Li Chengping hurriedly shrank his head; he hadn't expected this Boss Gao to be so enthusiastic.

It was mainly because Sun Ning's reputation had spread throughout the entire county.

Which influential person in the county didn't want him to be their son-in-law?

It is said that Secretary Xue Hongtao had received many calls asking him to act as a matchmaker.

The specific situation is unknown!

In any case, Secretary Xue Hongtao had never approached Sun Ning about these matters.

Secretary Li Chengping immediately stepped forward and laughed it off, "I suppose Bureau Chief Wang will be here soon. Shall we go to the entrance to welcome him? Boss Gao, please prepare some delicious food first."

When Bureau Chief Wang was mentioned, Boss Gao immediately became serious.

After being polite, she went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

It seems she is very familiar with Bureau Chief Wang's taste.

After Boss Gao left, Sun Ning gossiped, "Her identity isn't simple, right?"

Secretary Li Chengping whispered, "It's said that she is Bureau Chief Wang's distant cousin."

"Right, cousin, it's very normal. Who doesn't have a few poor relatives to take care of?"

The two smiled ambiguously with great tacit understanding.

Although they said they were going to the entrance to welcome him, they actually just found a seat in the lobby and sat down.

Bureau Chief Wang is not worthy of being personally welcomed by the County Magistrate's secretary.

To some extent, his words and actions might represent Secretary Wang Shengli.

If Secretary Li Chengping went to the entrance to welcome him today, Bureau Chief Wang wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

They arrived early and didn't wait in the private room, which was already giving this Bureau Chief Wang plenty of face.

At 5:30, Bureau Chief Wang's figure appeared in the lobby of the private restaurant.

When he saw Secretary Li Chengping and Sun Ning, a smile immediately piled up on his greasy face.

This smile was quite genuine.

It seems he was very satisfied with the attitude of Sun Ning and Secretary Li Chengping.

"Sorry, Secretary Li, Township Head Sun, I've neglected you, truly neglected you. I didn't expect you to arrive so early. Where is the owner of this place? Is this how she does business?"

They could be intimate in private, but on the surface, they still had to pretend not to know each other.

Boss Gao heard the news and walked over.

Before she arrived, her charming voice had already reached them.

"Yo, Bureau Chief Wang, how would I dare to neglect your distinguished guests? The best private room has already been cleared for you. Please, come in."

As she spoke, she had the waiter close the door.

It was clear that this private restaurant was only hosting one table of guests today.

This was also a normal phenomenon; after all, it was a private restaurant, and it wasn't really open to the public.

Sometimes, even if they only hosted one table of guests, if they sold a vase or a jar, they would make a fortune.

In the antique world, there is a saying: "No business for three years, but one sale feeds you for three years."

They are in the business of selling antiques, after all.

Sun Ning was very disgusted by this woman's "yo," and he gently smoothed the goosebumps on his arm.

He hurriedly invited Bureau Chief Wang to head to the private room.

The three of them walked to the 888 private room, and Sun Ning could basically conclude that this Boss Gao was a person of no taste.

Of course, this had nothing to do with him; he would come here at most once.

When they arrived at the private room, it was time for the ritual of deciding who would sit in the seat of honor.

After some polite back-and-forth, Bureau Chief Wang naturally sat in the seat of honor.

None of this had anything to do with Sun Ning; he was third in rank here, so he could only sit in the last seat.

Once everyone was seated, Sun Ning naturally took out cigarettes and handed them to the two men.

Furthermore, he pushed the cigarette pack forward without a trace.

Bureau Chief Wang and Secretary Li Chengping's eyes both narrowed into slits.
