Chapter 72 This is not the circle you should be in

Chapter 72. This is not the circle you should be in

Good guy, this is self-inflicted.

Ren Ping almost couldn't help laughing.

The rest of the people looked confused. They didn't come with President Wang. What does this mean?
Looking at Ren Pingping, I saw him staring at him with burning eyes:

"Oh? So you came with Director Xin?"

With that said, he turned to look at Xin Ran.

Xin Ran was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He looked at Ren Ping and then at Qiu Ming with suspicion:
"Are you from the city museum? Why don't I recognize you?"

Immediately, there was a burst of chatter among the crowd. Qiu Ming is an expert in the study of ancient coins in the Municipal Museum, and many of them know about it.

But now, Xin Ran, the deputy director, is at a loss, which shows that he is doing well in the city museum, at least he has no sense of presence.

A straight-hearted person like Tong Jian couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Let me tell you, Lao Xin, how many idlers does your city hall support? You can't even remember it yourself? If I remember correctly, this guy surnamed Qiu seems to be the vice-president of the Guquan Association, and you don't know that either?"

Xin Ran shook her head:
"Don't be joking, Mr. Tong. I really don't know. Besides, there are at least a hundred experts who work in the city museum. How can I know all of them?"

"That's all. It is estimated that this surnamed Qiu only holds a temporary position in your city museum on weekdays, and ignores other things. However, his vice president probably got a job by relying on the name of your city museum."

Tong Jian smiled.

Whether it is an old fritter that has been in the mall for many years, Qiu Ming's old background was exposed to the sky with almost no need to think about it.

At this time, his face was red and his ears were red, his back was like a glow, wishing he could immediately find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

I work in the city museum, but Xin Ran, the most influential deputy curator in the museum, is at a loss. This is shameful enough.

Coupled with Tong Jian and Ren Ping, the elder and the younger, one of them was talking nonsense, unintentionally revealing his old secrets, and the other was watching closely, ready to reveal the matter of the bet that day at any time.

If I had known this, I really shouldn’t have come today.

"Xiao Ren, what's going on?"

"Xin Guan, you really don't know this person?"

Ren Ping was also quite surprised and pointed at Qiu Ming again.

Xin Ran shook his head again:
"I came today purely because of my personal relationship with Mrs. Tian, ​​and has nothing to do with the Municipal Museum. How could I bring other people? Tell me clearly, what if this person comes with Chairman Wang, and what if he comes with me?"

Ren Ping sneered slightly, and before he could answer, someone at the other end stood up first:

"Mr. Qiu, did you forget the bet we made three days ago so quickly? We can't help you because you are so shameless, but the reputation of the Spring and Autumn Alliance cannot be ruined by you!"

The person who spoke was none other than Rong Qiancheng. He was usually a man of few words and did not like to talk too much, but when he did say something, it was not without weight.

For a moment, I could only listen to people whispering, all of them confused.

In the past few days, I have heard that the Spring and Autumn League has formed a relationship with this kid surnamed Ren because of the joining of a small auction house.
Mr. Rong of Rong Luxing is obviously helping Ren Ping?
"Mr. Rong, what do you mean? This... this matter has nothing to do with the Spring and Autumn League."

"Hmph! There's a lot of nonsense, isn't it your design to drag us into the game and almost make the Spring and Autumn League have bad luck with you?"

Rong Qiancheng's expression was serious. Seeing that everyone was still full of suspicion and not knowing what was going on, he snorted:
"Everyone, I'm ashamed to say that this matter has to start three days ago..."

Now he told what happened that day when Qiu Ming used the Spring and Autumn Alliance's layout to lure Ren Ping into taking the bait and took the opportunity to create difficulties.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, especially in the collecting world where intrigues and competition for profit are common. The key is that Qiu Ming did not keep his word and regretted it afterwards!

You must know that although this circle is not very clean, most people still value a word of faith. Even if they suffer a huge loss, they still have to bite their teeth and swallow it.

Like Qiu Ming who set up a situation to harm others, but pretended nothing happened after losing the bet, it can be regarded as completely losing the bottom line.

"I said that he is also the vice-president of the association. Why has he been hiding just now? It seems that he has no face to see others. It turns out that he knows his fault."

"Unexpectedly, so many things happened in the Spring and Autumn League that day. As Rong Qiancheng said, this Qiu Ming will withdraw from the Ancient Spring Association, and he will not be able to touch ancient coins again. Isn't it the same as withdrawing from the circle? This is a serious bet."

"So what? Is it easy for him to raise bets for others? After all, it is about the reputation of the Spring and Autumn Alliance, so Mr. Rong has no choice but to come forward to explain. I have never heard him say so many words before."

"Yes, this President Rong is famous for his calmness and elegance..."

Amidst the discussions, most people are extremely shameless about Qiu Ming's actions, but what is even more strange is Rong Qiancheng's performance, which can be said to be uncharacteristically compared to before.

Only Ren Ping was vaguely aware that President Rong was expressing his opinion to himself. For the Arhat Meeting held at the end of the month, the Spring and Autumn League could stand on his side without hesitation!
"MD! If you lose the bet, you will turn your face and deny it. The surname Tong can't see such a brazen person! Butler Xu, why are you keeping this kind of thing, why don't you drive it out?"

With a stern voice, the fiery Tong Jian spoke directly after hearing what was going on.

At this moment, Qiu Ming was extremely ashamed and indignant, and when he was forced into a desperate situation, he ignored everything and completely tore his face:
"Let's see who dares! Is this how the Tahotian family entertains guests?"

"Guest? What kind of guest are you?"

Tong Jian sneered and pointed at Butler Xu outside the door:

"Did you invite this person? Do you have an invitation?"

"No, since he came with President Wang, we will naturally treat him with courtesy."

Butler Xu bowed slightly and said truthfully.

"Lao Xin, you said just now that you weren't the one who brought it?"

Tong Jian turned his head and looked at Xin Ran again.

Xin Ran didn't answer, but stared at Qiu Ming with slightly concentrated eyes:

"Are you really from the city hall?"

Qiu Ming nodded. He could ignore anyone present, but he still had a little more respect for Xin Ran.

"Even if I don't know all the people in the city hall, I will always have some impressions, but you..."

"Xin Guan! You usually have a lot of things to do, so you don't care about a little person like me. I have been a researcher of ancient coins in the city museum for many years. If you don't believe me, you can ask the personnel!"

"Okay, if that's the case, why are you involved with the Spring and Autumn Alliance? The city hall has working regulations that prohibit researchers from privately contacting auction houses, appraisal agencies and other industry organizations. Don't you know?"

Xin Ran's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

Qiu Ming only felt a buzzing sound in his head, like a loud bell, and then realized that he had said something wrong.

Making friends with the auction house privately and conveying benefits is a taboo in the city hall!

"I……"

"Forget it, you don't need to talk about it. After you go back, you can go to the personnel affairs. I will ask them to ask them carefully. It's right and wrong, and it will be clear after a check."

Xin Ran glanced at him indifferently, and sat back in her original position, obviously not planning to waste any further words.

"And you, President Wang?"

Tong Jian then looked at Wang Youlong with a teasing expression.

Qiu Ming happened to be looking over at this time, but his eyes were dull and dull.

Wang Youlong sighed. At this point, he couldn't help even if he wanted to help. After weighing the pros and cons, he glanced at the other party.

"Lao Qiu, from today on, you are no longer a member of our Guquan Association,"

At the end, I seem to feel that it is too revealing, so I add a sentence:
"It's your own bet that you lost to others. In our business, credibility is the most important thing. No wonder I am."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Qiu Ming was speechless, just laughed softly, as if he was mocking himself for having nothing from now on, but also as a sarcasm, a person like Wang Youlong turned out to be as brazen as himself.

Ren Ping also knew that Wang Youlong was abandoning his car to save his handsome man, but he had seen it a lot, so he didn't take it seriously, just smiled.

Tong Jian waved his hand, signaling to take out Qiu Ming, who was a little confused.

Steward Xu stepped forward, and while helping him to go out, he smiled, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally:

"Mr. Qiu, why bother? I said earlier that this is not the circle you should be in. A twisted melon is not sweet."

When he said this, he happened to pass by Wang Youlong's side. The latter was startled when he heard the words, and felt that the words seemed to be alluding to himself.

Soon, Qiu Ming was helped to leave, and the rest of the onlookers were also politely evacuated away, leaving only a dozen or so people in the side hall.

Seeing that Wang Youlong hadn't left yet, the middle-aged man surnamed Tian on the main seat smiled:
"What? President Wang still wants to sit here?"

Wang Youlong didn't answer. He raised his head and looked from left to right, including Tong Jian, Xin Ran, Rong Qiancheng... and even the middle-aged man himself. Any one of them was a high-ranking figure who could make Nanling tremble with his stamp of feet.

If you sit with them, do you deserve it?

At this time, he was even more convinced that there was something in the butler's words just now, and it was directed at him:

There are many circles in this world, just like people are divided into different classes, if you are not strong enough, don't force yourself into it!

After thinking this through, Wang Youlong's face turned red instantly, like a glow on his back.

But he was unwilling to leave just now, he had important things to do today, especially the master of the matter, that Ren Ping was still here.

"Confession."

"Wait, let's not rush,"

Seeing that Wang Youlong cupped his hands and was about to sit down honestly, Tong Jian at the side suddenly stopped him:

"Come here! Bring a chair, no, two!"
