Chapter Fifty-Three Visiting

  Zhao Guotong came to the Anshi City Public Security Bureau for the second time. The ten-story building looked particularly majestic, with a row of police cars parked in the green belt. People coming and going needed to register at the entrance first, except for internal personnel.

  The office of the bureau leader is on the seventh floor. When Zhao Guotong came to Liu Zhaoguo, he didn't have any mental pressure. With his past life memories, he was confident that he could face anyone calmly. In his opinion, Liu Zhaoguo was a person worth getting along with, but it didn't mean that he needed to fawn on him. Perhaps doing so would only backfire.

  "Dong dong dong!"

  "Please come in."

  Zhao Guotong pushed open the door.

  "Huh, you little brat actually showed up today? I thought you had really forgotten about me, your big brother."

  Liu Zhaoguo's face showed a hint of surprise, this little guy really has some calmness, it has been more than two months since he went to Jiang Miao for research, and he didn't even give himself a call or visit once, making him worry that he might have lost the phone number he gave him.

  "Hey, should I call you Director Liu or Brother Liu?" Zhao Guotang scratched his head and said with some difficulty.

  "Haha, privately call me Liu Ge, of course, on official business still have to call my position. Sit down, sit down." Liu Zhaoguo appreciated the other's humility and yet not lacking in closeness.

  "Hmm, I didn't expect Liu Ge to be in our line of work too, and he's even the leader of my leader's leader. The difference between him and that scoundrel Liu from Da Guan Kou is like heaven and earth." Zhao Guodong sat on the soft, wide leather sofa, feeling the difference between the city bureau leadership office.

  "Cheating and drinking? Didn't you invite me to eat together?" Liu Chao Guo also burst out laughing, this little guy's words were really not polite.

  "That's also because you looked pitiful and had nowhere to eat, right? You're not putting on a pitiful face so I'd invite you to eat, are you? There were so many people on Da Guan Kou Street, but I didn't invite them all to eat together?" Zhao Guodong shrugged.

  "It seems we have a good affinity." Liu Zhaoguo couldn't help but admire Zhao Guotang, who was still so carefree and natural despite knowing his identity. Most people wouldn't be able to pretend to be so relaxed even if they tried. He felt that the other party really didn't treat him as a superior, which was a strange feeling.

  "It's still better in the city, isn't it, compared to Jiangmiao, Liu?" A young girl brought over a cup of hot tea and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Guotong, who was chatting with Director Liu so casually, and his police uniform betrayed his identity.

  "In my eyes, Jiang Miao is still more beautiful." Liu Zhaoguo hesitated for a moment before saying, "Perhaps there's some suspicion of being overly sentimental, but it's indeed the case."

  Zhao Guotong was also stunned for a moment, "It seems that Liu Ge is still a very nostalgic person."

  "Never mind about that. How was your two months in Jiang Temple? Was the mood okay?" Liu Zhao Guo asked with a smile.

  "It's okay, I guess Jiangmiao will be the advanced collective in the overall assessment this year? As for me personally, I heard that the summer case-cracking campaign is going to evaluate the top case-solvers, and I should have a share. Zhao Guoding was quite proud, "But as for my mood... it's hard to say."

  "What's wrong?" Liu Zhaoguo raised an eyebrow and asked.

  "My girlfriend's family thinks I'm from a rural area and don't match with her, they want us to break up, we're fighting against it." Zhao Guodong said casually.

  "Where is your girlfriend?" Liu Zhaoguo frowned.

  Tianhe Branch

  "You didn't come here today to ask me to help you get back to the city, did you?" Liu Zhaoguo smiled.

  "I should be more tactful, right? Like running errands for you a few more times, making our relationship even closer, and then subtly revealing my intentions?" Zhao Guodong smiled with an air of mystery.

  "Oh? So you don't want to be transferred back to the city?" Liu Zuo actually had a hunch that the other party didn't mean to ask for his help, although this wasn't anything significant for himself. As a deputy director of the municipal bureau, with over ten departments under him and five district branches below, transferring an ordinary police officer was nothing.

  "Huh, I'm really not interested. I'm doing quite well in Jiangmiao, why do I need to go into the city?" Zhao Guotang shook his head.

  "Aren't you afraid your girlfriend will fly away?" Liu Zhaoguo narrowed his eyes.

  "If she really flew away, it can only be said that she has eyes but no pearls and is not blessed with good fortune." Zhao Guo said with a straight face.

  "Haha, kid, you really have a personality. Liu Zhaoguo was amused to laughter by the other party, "But I'm telling you seriously, emotions shouldn't be tested in this way, if you really want to return to the city, I can arrange for you, whether it's the municipal bureau or other branches in the urban area, there's no problem."

  "Never mind, let's just stay in Jiangkou for two more years, anyway it's still early. But first, I'll hang out with you, Liu Ge." Zhao Guotang said after some thought.

  "It's okay, I reckon it'll take me two or three years to get out of this building. Even if I do get out, handling your business will be a piece of cake." Liu Zhaoguo finally showed some confidence at this point, "By the way, what brings you to the city today? You didn't come just to see me, did you?"

  "Hmm, swap shifts, go see my girlfriend, and take a look at Niuwang Temple on the way." Zhao Guodong said casually.

  "Oh, you're also interested in stocks?" Liu Zhaoguo asked surprisingly. He was already amazed by Zhao Guotang's vast knowledge at the Big View Mouth and even more surprised that he had some insightful views. He wanted to understand what unique insights this guy had on this black stock market.

  "Hmm, this is a reasonable and legitimate way to make money. I'll let my younger brother play around with it and earn 2-3 million before stopping." Zhao Guocong sensed that the other party seemed to be interested in this as well.

  "Make a few hundred thousand?" Liu Zhaoguo was really shocked, a few hundred thousand? This is not a small amount, even for Liu Zhaoguo it's an astonishing figure. Zhao Guotang is not someone who speaks lightly, especially in front of himself, he wouldn't boast or exaggerate, which means the other party seems to have a good grasp on making money in this line, his own wife has been enthusiastic and eager to try for some time, but has never dared to take action easily.

  "What's wrong? Don't you believe me, Liu?" Zhao Guotang glanced at Liu Zhuoguo sideways. "Now is the primary blowout period of China's stock market. As long as you have vision and courage, and also a bit of capital, making money is not difficult, and it's legitimate and reasonable to make money."

  Liu Zhaoguo's interest was suddenly piqued.

  He is quite embarrassed in this position, seemingly high-ranking and powerful, but his economic income is greatly restricted. Especially after serving in the army for so many years, he has only saved a little money, with two children, one in college and one about to take the entrance exam, expenses are huge. Now that he has just taken up this position, everything must be done with caution, especially financially, Liu Zhaoguo is even more careful, he doesn't want to spend his whole life on this.

  If there is a bright, just and reasonable way to make money, it would be a wonderful thing. But does such a good thing really exist in this world? Even if Liu Zhaoguo has a very good impression of Zhao Guotang, he still has some doubts.

  Zhao Guotong briefly analyzed the current situation of the stocks that are about to be listed in Andu and even the entire Anhui province, combining it with the country's current major policies. Liu Zhaoguo listened intently, seeming to understand but also appearing puzzled. However, his interest in Zhao Guotong grew thicker. This young guy wasn't very old, he majored in public security and law, so how did he know so much about finance and economics? His analysis was thorough and logical, not like something made up on the spot.

  "Little Zhao, according to what you said, isn't it still not too late to buy these stocks now?" Liu Zhaoguo pondered.

  "It's late, but not too late. Although you missed the opportunity to buy stocks at a low price when they were first issued to employees of those companies, the current price has already risen significantly; it's also not too late because these stocks have not been listed on the market yet, and nobody can be sure whether they will be listed or when they will be listed. The floating psychology makes people who hold these stocks want to sell as soon as they feel the price is right, but the truth is that the prices of these stocks haven't risen enough yet. If you hold on until the right time to sell, you can still make a considerable profit."

  "Hmm, that's interesting. Little Zhao, I didn't expect you to have such a thorough understanding of these things?" Liu Zhaoguo asked with some curiosity.

  "Haha, Liu Ge, I don't have many other hobbies, I just love reading books, any kind of book, and if it can make money, of course, I'll read it even more." Zhao Guotang said confidently, "This is a chance to make some money, and after this time, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a while before we come across another opportunity like this."

  "Are you free at noon? Let's go have lunch together." Liu Zhaoguo nodded after checking the time.

  "Eat? Brother Liu, it's not very good, is it?" Zhao Guotou scratched his head.

  "Don't think so much, didn't you also treat me to a meal at Da Guan Kou? Today is not an official banquet of the bureau, but my old comrades, it's good for you to know them too."
