Name: Zheng Doudou

Position: Lieutenant Colonel Instructor of a Special Forces Unit in a Field Army

Hobbies: Music

Intimacy: Twenty

Promotion: Golden Number 20!

This is the basic information about Zheng Doudou displayed on the official chart. Su Mu was completely stunned. There was no way to compare, really no way to compare. No wonder Zheng Doudou handled those police officers like it was a game; it turned out she was a special forces instructor and a lieutenant colonel.

The critical part was that after absorbing the energy from the jade, Su Mu clearly knew that Zheng Doudou would be promoted again within 20 days. If she were promoted from lieutenant colonel, she would become a colonel!

Good grief, what does Zheng Doudou's family do? So powerful! To become a colonel at such a young age, even with a strong background, she must be very capable.

"Su Mu, I'm convinced!" Zheng Doudou said crisply, "Before I came, I thought Xiao Li was exaggerating, but I didn't expect you to really understand! How about it? Can you help me with something? Can you help me appraise a few antiques?"

"No problem, when and where?" Su Mu smiled, thinking that helping out was no big deal, and since the other party had such a strong background, it was necessary to build a good relationship.

"This hasn't been decided yet. I'll notify you once I have a plan. Here's my phone number, write it down. I'll contact you if there's anything!" Zheng Doudou said, handing over a business card. The card was very clean, with no markings, just a string of numbers.

"No problem, contact me anytime!" Su Mu took it.

"Come on, let's drink now that the business is done!" Li Letian said with a big laugh.

"Cheers!"

At this moment, Zheng Doudou didn't show her arrogant and domineering side, but raised her glass and drank it down in one go. After this drink, Li Leming stood up.

"Doudou, I've already arranged for you to stay at the Yajuzhu Hotel tonight. If you need anything these few days, call me. I'll go back now; my wife is waiting for me."

"Brother Min, go back quickly, so your wife doesn't scold me," Zheng Doudou said with a smile.

"Alright, then! Su Mu, if you have time, come to my house. Let Letian show you around," Li Leming said with a smile, extending his hand and giving Su Mu a light shake.

Just as Su Mu and Li Leming's fingers touched, a few lines of text suddenly appeared on the official chart floating in his mind.

Name: Li Leming

Position: Member of the Standing Committee of the Qinglin City Municipal Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission

Hobbies: Calligraphy and paintings

Intimacy: Thirty!

"Alright!" Su Mu said with a smile.

After saying this, Li Leming left the Qing Song Ya room. Not long after he left, Zheng Doudou also left, as she was really tired after a day of travel. With these two gone, only Su Mu and Li Letian were left in the room, and they were now completely relaxed.

"Come on, brother, it's just the two of us now. You don't have to go back to the Party School tonight. Your seminar ends tomorrow anyway. Let's drink until we're both drunk!" Li Letian said with a laugh, opening a few bottles of beer and placing them on the table.

"You're doing this on purpose, trying to get me drunk, right? Come on, who's afraid of who? Let's start with one!" Su Mu raised a bottle of beer nonchalantly.

Bang!

The glasses clinked, and they both tilted their heads back and drank. Compared to the somewhat stiff atmosphere when Li Leming was there, this was much more relaxed and enjoyable.

"I thought you weren't afraid of my brother, but now it seems you were just pretending," Li Letian said with a smile, wiping the beer foam from his mouth.

"Rubbish!" Su Mu picked up a peanut and ate it. "Please, who do you think that is? He's a department-level official, a member of the Standing Committee and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. What am I? A deputy section-level shrimp, a deputy town mayor. Do you think I wasn't afraid talking to him so closely?"

"Ha ha!"

Li Letian laughed loudly. "Finally, something that can scare you. I thought you were fearless. So, what do you think about what I just said?"

"What thing?" Su Mu asked.

"Don't play dumb. That thing, I want to partner with you to do some business. We can deal in antiques, like opening an auction house or something. The profits are huge. You're too stifled in your current position. A county party secretary's son can control you. I say, quit and let's go into business! With your appraisal skills and my connections, we'll be invincible!"

"Big piles of money are waiting for us. What do you think? I thought about this before coming here and wanted to get your opinion."

Su Mu listened to Li Letian with a smile. At this point, the alcohol had started to take effect. With the official chart, he undoubtedly had a natural advantage in the antique business. As long as Su Mu wanted, he could guarantee the authentication of five genuine items every day.

If he wanted to continue in politics and achieve his dream of not going a day without power, it was essential to connect with Li Letian. Just the fact that Li Leming was a member of the Standing Committee of Qinglin City was enough to make it worth his while.

Gentlemen's friendships are as light as water, but that was in the past. In Su Mu's mind, he didn't deny this view. However, he believed that brotherhood based on common interests was more solid and reliable. That's why they say revolutionary comrades have common goals.

"Letian, tell me the truth, how much starting capital do you have?" Su Mu asked casually.

"Ten thousand!" Li Letian said proudly.

Pfft!

Hearing this number, Su Mu burst out laughing, spitting out his drink and coughing.

"Hey, what's so funny? Is ten thousand yuan a small amount?" Li Letian said indignantly. "I saved this up with great effort. It's my personal savings."

"It's not a small amount, but I'm thinking, with only ten thousand yuan, you were willing to spend four thousand on a fake in the antique street. If you had bought it, you would have gone crazy!" Su Mu laughed.

"Don't bring that up. That bald guy, I'll get back at him one day. He wanted to swindle me, I'll make him spit it out! Stop laughing, it's not like you have a lot of money. By the way, why did you decide to treat us at Yajuzhu today? It's not cheap here!"

"Why not? As a deputy town mayor in Heishan Town, I can afford a meal here. To be honest, I have more pocket money than you! Ten thousand, tsk tsk, do you know how much is in this card? Eight hundred thousand!" Su Mu casually took out his bank card.

"How much?" Li Letian exclaimed.

"Eight hundred thousand!" Su Mu said nonchalantly. "If I told you there's two million with Ye Xi, you'd be even more shocked."

Li Letian swallowed hard, staring at Su Mu. "You're not a corrupt official, are you?"

"Please, you really think I could be. Where would I even have the chance to be corrupt? In a town with an annual income of less than 20,000 yuan, and as a deputy town mayor with no real power, how much could I possibly take?"

"You're right!" Li Letian laughed awkwardly. "So, how did you make this eight hundred thousand? Is it from antiques? From the antique street?"

"Right!" Su Mu smiled. "All this money is from finding bargains at the antique street. You should be ashamed to show off your ten thousand in front of me. If you can't become a billionaire, don't brag in front of me. What's there to brag about? Really!"

"I knew it, this really can make money!" Li Letian, without any sense of shame, became even more excited. "How about it? Let's partner up!"

After laughing, Su Mu pondered and said, "Letian, to be honest, there are many ways to make money, not just through antiques. We can use antiques to accumulate starting capital, and once we have money, we can venture into other industries. For example, domestic monopolies like coal mines, high-tech industries, stocks, and real estate can all make money. But in my plan, if we're going to play, we should play big."

"Play big?" Li Letian said excitedly. "How do we play big?"

"Go international, make money from foreigners!" Su Mu said calmly. "Compared to the domestic market, the international market is broader and offers more opportunities. For example, if we take the luxury route, we can use antiques as a foundation and venture into various luxury industries. You should know that other industries can face economic crises, but our antique collection industry will never face such a problem!"

Swish!

Hearing this, Li Letian excitedly stood up from his chair. "That's right, those Americans and British can make money from us, and so many of our national treasures have ended up abroad. Why can't we make money from them? Ha ha, brother, your idea is great and bold! If we can really do this, my face will be very useful in Beijing. It will show those rich kids who's really the best!"

The more he thought about it, the more excited Li Letian became. The blood in his veins, driven by the desire to make money, was boiling. He picked up the bottle in front of him and drank half of it.

"Brother, what's the specific plan? How do we make our luxury business big? Ha ha, I can't wait to become a billionaire!" Li Letian had never felt life was so exciting, with a bright future ahead.

"These things need careful planning, but in the next few days, I'll draft a plan to start with antiques. When it's ready, take it to Ye Xi, and she'll tell you what to do." Su Mu smiled.

"Ye Xi?" Li Letian's face showed a strange smile.

"What? Do you know her?" Su Mu asked.

"I think I've heard the name somewhere. Never mind, I'll go find her when you give it to me." Li Letian shook his head and raised his bottle. "Come on, brother, let's drink to our billionaire dream!"

"Wrong, it's yours, what do I need that money for!" Su Mu laughed.

"Really boring, that's why I didn't want to enter the system. It's too stifling, no way to enjoy life. Fine, what's mine is yours, we're brothers. Wherever you go to work, I'll invest there and bring you political achievements. Ha ha!"

These words sounded very pleasant to Su Mu's ears!

Actually, Su Mu's actions were not just about making money for himself. Having a large and powerful financial group supporting him would play a crucial role in boosting the local economy as an official.

"Come on, cheers!"

"For the billionaires!"

"For your smooth career!"

...

In the Qing Song Ya room, the two of them drank, talking back and forth. From their initial compatibility in the Xingtang County antique street to their current shared interests, Su Mu and Li Letian's relationship had taken a solid step forward.

That night, they didn't know how many bottles they drank, and they didn't remember how they got back to their hotel rooms. Meanwhile, some people spent the night in fear.
