Chapter 1764: Winning the Bid
Chen Xiaodao got the rubbing version of the secret book of flying knives, which was like a treasure.
Every day, in addition to sleeping and eating, he spends time trying to figure out and practice Liuye's flying knife skills. Zhao Xu also selected several hidden weapons suitable for his practice from the "Secret Book of Hidden Weapons".
Zhao Xu has profound internal skills and can get twice the result with half the effort by practicing various hidden weapons.
What ordinary people would have spent decades practicing, he could achieve something small in a short period of time. Of course, if you want to achieve great success, it is not something that can be achieved overnight.
Zhao Xu chose hidden weapons such as sleeve arrows, flying claws, money darts, wishful beads, blow darts, slingshots, and crossbow arrows.
Each of these hidden weapons has its own characteristics, some can be obtained locally, and some are easy to carry.
When practicing concealed weapons, eyesight and wrist strength are particularly important.
Zhao Xu has profound internal skills. When he first started practicing, he was a little uncomfortable. After practicing for three to five days, he was already able to use these hidden weapons with ease. Of course, in terms of lethality, they were still limited.
For masters, these hidden weapons that Zhao Xu has mastered do not pose much of a threat. However, they can still cause a certain degree of fatal damage to people under the "Heavenly Ranking".
On this day, after Zhao Xu finished practicing concealed weapons, he was taking a shower in the bathroom of his room.
After the phone call started, Li Qingqing saw that it was Jin Zhong calling, and called Zhao Xu: "Zhao Xu, Ah Zhong is calling."
Zhao Xu responded, turned off the faucet, and walked out of the bathroom.
"Ah!..." Li Qingqing screamed, covering her eyes, and said to Zhao Xu: "Why don't you wrap up in a bath towel?"
Zhao Xu wrapped the bath towel around his body and said teasingly to his wife Li Qingqing: "Qingqing, we are already an old couple, why are you still ashamed?"
Through the gap between her fingers, Li Qingqing saw that Zhao Xu was wrapped in a bath towel, and glared at Zhao Xu: "Then you can't be naked in the hotel in broad daylight! If this is photographed by the paparazzi, you will be on the headlines tomorrow.
.”
"I'm not a celebrity, why are the paparazzi filming me?"
"You are considered a celebrity now. Do you think paparazzi only take photos of celebrities?" Li Qingqing retorted.
Zhao Xu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, picked up his cell phone and called Jin Zhong back.
"Ah Zhong, I was taking a shower just now. Do you have anything to do with me?" Zhao Xu asked straight to the point.
Jin Zhong said excitedly: "Axu, we won the bid. The province has decided to give us the construction of the new special economic zone."
"Really? Has it been announced to the public?" Zhao Xu asked happily.
"Announced! This matter has been finalized. Tonight, the district will hold a celebration reception, so we must attend on time."
"What time?"
"Five o'clock in the afternoon, provincial hotel!" Jin Zhong replied.
"Okay!" Zhao Xu responded.
He was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly remembered something and asked Jin Zhong: "Ah Zhong, does Xiaolan know?"
"I know! The provincial government has called Han Min, and Xiaolan and I respectively. I guess they will call you soon."
As expected, Zhao Xu was answering the phone, and Han Min called immediately.
"Then I'll hang up first! They've called." Zhao Xu said to Jin Zhong.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xu immediately picked up Han Min's call.
Han Min said excitedly: "Master, we won the bid!"
"I already know!" Zhao Xu's tone seemed calm.
With Dong Baiwei in charge and the strength of Zhao Xu's alliance with "Jinzhong Group" and "Huaian Group", winning the bid was expected.
Zhao Xu told Han Min: "Han Min, get ready. Let's go to the district's celebration banquet together tonight!"
"Okay!" Han Min replied.
As soon as Han Min hung up the phone, Yang Lan's call came in.
Just as Yang Lan was about to speak, Zhao Xu said first, "Xiao Lan, you want to talk about our winning the bid, right? I already know."
"Brother Azhong told you, right?" Yang Lan asked.
"Yes! Ah Zhong told me."
Yang Lan said with an angry tone: "Every time brother A Zhong does something, he is one step ahead of others! I just called my dad and missed it! Brother Xu, will you bring your sister-in-law to participate in the district?"
A celebration banquet held there?"
"I will participate!" Zhao Xu replied.
"Then we'll see you at the banquet!"
"See you at the party!..."
After Zhao Xu hung up the phone, he saw his wife Li Qingqing staring at him.
Zhao Xu touched his face and asked confusedly: "Qingqing, are there flowers on my face?"
"No!"
"Then why are you staring at me so intently?"
Li Qingqing smiled sweetly and said: "I'm just surprised that you don't look like anything special. How come everyone around you is surrounding you?"
Zhao Xu shrugged and said with a cheeky smile: "I can't help it, who makes your husband so charming?"
"De Xing! If you say you are fat, you will gasp." Li Qingqing said: "Since there is a banquet tonight, you'd better not go to practice martial arts. Just stay with me in the hotel."
Having been in the provincial capital for so long, Zhao Xu is either doing things or practicing martial arts every day. He rarely has the opportunity to spend time with Li Qingqing.
The two of them were sitting on the balcony of the room, chatting comfortably while bathing in the sunshine.
Li Qingqing enjoys this kind of life.
She dreamed that one day, she and her beloved would live in a place facing the sea, with flowers blooming in spring. She would have children at her knees, and hold hands with the one she loved for the rest of her life, and stay with her until she grew old.
God was at least very fair and gave her five years of happiness. Therefore, Li Qingqing cherished such peaceful time very much.
In the evening, Zhao Xu and Li Qingqing dressed up and took Han Min, Chen Xiaodao and Nong Quan to the provincial hotel for a banquet.
After Jin Zhong arrived, the two men's motorcade drove to the provincial hotel.
Yang Lan was waiting for Zhao Xu and Jin Zhong at the entrance of the provincial hotel.
Seeing Jin Zhong and Zhao Xu's motorcade arriving, Yang Lan took the initiative to greet them with his bodyguards.
"Brother Xu, sister-in-law, brother Azhong!" Yang Lan greeted the three of them with a smile on his face.
Zhao Xu felt a little strange when he didn't see Yang Xing, and asked Yang Lan: "Xiao Lan, where is Yang Xing?"
"He has already entered the hotel!" Yang Lan thought that Zhao Xu was still looking for trouble for Yang Xing, so she said to Zhao Xu: "Brother Xu, don't worry! My dad has already taught Yang Xing a lesson. Although
The relationship between you was not directly revealed, but he was severely criticized."
Zhao Xu asked with great interest: "What did Uncle Yang criticize Yang Xing for?"
"My dad told Yang Xing not to be proud and to keep a low profile! Especially when it comes to dealing with others, he must be careful in his words and deeds."
Jin Zhong and Zhao Xu looked at each other and smiled in understanding.
