Tang Xin was also not sure to persuade Xie Benhang to return the 500,000 yuan, and said to Chen Yunhan with a little embarrassment: "Hanhan, Mr. Zhao's father and Captain Xie are hardcore brothers, and if they can't solve the problem, I'm afraid it will be in vain for me to call again!"

Chen Yunhan insisted: "You just give it a try, maybe you have a bigger face than Chairman Zhao?"

Ai Lizhen urgently needed to get back the 500,000 yuan and return it to her sister, seeing that Zhao Pan didn't do it, she was disappointed and anxious, so she pinned her hopes on Tang Xin again, and said in a pleading tone: "Xiao Tang, Hanhan is right, you can give it a try! Even if Captain Xie still doesn't agree, we won't blame you, right?"

Tang Xin had no choice but to stand up and say, "Okay, I'll go to the balcony and call him." However, since he has rejected Chairman Zhao, it is estimated that my call will not have much effect. ”

Then, he took out his mobile phone, dialed Xie Benhang's number, and walked quickly to the balcony.

The phone was quickly connected, and Xie Benhang said enthusiastically: "Brother, hello!"

Tang Xin also greeted him, and then told him about the 500,000 yuan, asking if there was room for accommodation.

Xie Benhang said with a smile: "Brother, don't hide it: just now I received a call from Zhao Yougong, chairman of Wenda Group, who also interceded for Professor Chen's 500,000 yuan. However, I turned him down at the time. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"First, although I am familiar with Zhao Yougong, I don't have a deep friendship. Moreover, there are rumors in the society that Wenda Group manufactures and sells fake cultural relics, and uses the so-called golden jade clothes and silver jade clothes to defraud hundreds of millions of dollars in banks, and sooner or later something big will happen, so I don't want to give him face.

"Second, I know that you have a good relationship with Professor Chen's family, and it is estimated that after I reject Zhao Yougong, they will ask you to help sooner or later. To put it bluntly, I want to leave this favor and face to you, not Zhao Yougong. Dude, I'm a good dude to you, hahaha!"

Tang Xin also laughed and said, "Thank you, brother." According to you, the 500,000 yuan can be refunded?"

"Brother, we won't hide between our brothers. Let me tell you this: the 500,000 yuan can be refunded or not. The reason for not returning it is that the money has already been deposited into the account of the tomb robbers and can be identified as stolen money; the reason for the refund is that Professor Chen has been deceived and has been falsely accused, so it can be determined that he is a victim and that the victim's defrauded property can be returned. Both of these reasons make sense, as for whether to retreat or not, it depends on what the opinion of the majority of the team is. ”

Tang Xin knew that the opinion of the so-called "majority" in his mouth was actually the opinion of him, the captain, in the final analysis, so he thanked him again.

Xie Benhang said a few sentences, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, I met Sister Liao in the family home this evening and talked to her about you. Sister Liao is full of praise for you, and she also told me personally, you are an orphan with a very rough life, she and Director Xia value you very much and want to recognize you as a godson. Is this true?"

When Tang Xin had dinner at Xia Guowei's house at noon yesterday, Liao Meiru did say that he wanted to recognize him as his godson, and he vaguely agreed at that time, but she didn't expect her to tell Xie Benhang about it, so she had to answer with a smile: "It's a half-truth!" Aunt Liao has no son, and she sees that I am lonely, so I have this idea, and I agreed. ”

Xie Benhang said happily: "Brother, then I want to congratulate you! According to the inside information I have received, Director Xia will soon be promoted to the post of member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and will also concurrently serve as the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau for a period of time. If you can integrate into their family, no matter whether you are in politics or business in the future, you will make a great difference!"

Tang Xin said a few words modestly and asked, "Brother, when will Professor Chen's 500,000 yuan be refunded?"

"Tomorrow. You ask him to come to the office at half past eight tomorrow morning, and I will arrange for someone to return it to him. ”

"Okay, thank you. ”

After Tang Xin returned to the living room from the balcony, Chen Yunhan asked expectantly, "How is it?"

Chen Hanlin and Ai Lizhen also looked at him nervously.

Tang Xin said slowly: "Captain Xie said that tomorrow morning at half past half, he will wait for Professor Chen in the office, and arrange for someone to go through the refund procedures, and it is estimated that the 500,000 yuan will be returned tomorrow." ”

"Really?" said Ellie almost jumped for joy.

Chen Hanlin looked at Tang Xin with grateful eyes, picked up the wine glass and said, "Xiao Tang, thank you." Come, I'll toast you. ”

Chen Yunhan saw that Tang Xin had earned face for her, and immediately smiled like a flower, and also picked up the wine glass and said, "Dad, I'll be a companion, let's respect Tang Xin together." ”

Only Zhao Pan felt that his face was dull, and he sat on the chair with a red face, silent.

Ai Lizhen knew that Zhao Pan must be very ashamed and embarrassed at the moment, so she changed the topic and said: "Xiao Zhao, I want to hold a solo exhibition in the near future, but the venue is difficult to find, and most of the venues are very expensive. Can you tell your dad to find me a showroom on the first floor of your Wenda Building, and I'll rent it for a month and give me a discount on the rent, okay?"

Zhao Pan said without thinking: "Of course." Teacher, don't mention what rent is not rented, tomorrow I will find you the best exhibition hall in Wenda Building, no matter how long your personal exhibition is held, I will not charge you a penny of rent. ”

Elliejin said happily, "That's great." Originally, because of the rent of the venue, I didn't dare to hold an art exhibition for fear of losing money. If you Wenda Group provides the venue for free, I will unfold the painting in these two days. ”

It turned out that Ai Lizhen saw that her husband had lost millions of dollars in collecting antiques, and remembered that she had a certain artistic attainment in landscape painting, and someone had spent money to buy and collect her paintings, so she wanted to open a personal exhibition and sell dozens of landscape paintings created by herself for more than 20 years to make up for the family's deficit.

However, because she didn't know whether her paintings could be sold, she didn't dare to rent a venue to hold an art exhibition, for fear that if the paintings were not sold, she would have to pay tens of thousands of yuan in venue rental fees, which would be a big loss.

Therefore, when she heard Zhao Pan say that Wenda Group could not charge her venue rental fee, she suddenly smiled and thanked Zhao Pan non-stop.

Chen Yunhan frowned, and couldn't help but pour cold water and said: "Mom, although your landscape paintings are of a very high artistic level, they are not well-known in the calligraphy and painting world after all. Usually, the highest price of the paintings you sell does not exceed 10,000 yuan, and many of them are bought by acquaintances and friends out of face. If you rashly hold an art exhibition, it is secondary to lose money or not, and I am afraid that the exhibition site will be deserted and unattended, which will be more embarrassing. Therefore, I advise you not to be in a hurry, and to learn from some predecessors who have successfully held art exhibitions, and if you have a certain degree of certainty, it is not too late to hold them. ”
