At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Tang Xin had just finished breakfast when he received a call from Chen Yunhan.

"Tang Xin, can you come to Wenda Building? ”

Tang Xin made an appointment with Huang Jianxiang, Jiang Dongbin and others to meet at the exhibition site at nine o'clock last night, but he didn't expect Chen Yunhan to call in advance, so he responded: "Okay, I'll come over immediately." ”

After Tang Xin rushed to the first floor of Wenda Building, Chen Yunhan pulled him into a corner and whispered: "My mother is going to return the painting sent by Zhao Pan to him, but before returning it, she wants to confirm the authenticity of the painting, so she wants me to call and ask you to come over." ”

Tang Xin smiled: "Since your mother is sure that she wants to return the painting, why is she still sure of the authenticity?

Chen Yunhan frowned and replied: "I also persuaded my mother just now, but she said that Zhao Yougong is so vulgar and snobbish, he is a typical villain who can't afford to be unprofitable, and he doesn't scatter eagles when he doesn't see rabbits." Therefore, the painting he gave to Zhao Pan as a gift is unlikely to be genuine, and it is very likely to be a fake. In order to verify her judgment, she would like to ask you to verify the authenticity of the painting, so that you can further recognize the hypocrisy of the Zhao father and son. ”

Tang Xin thought that this made sense, so he followed Chen Yunhan to Ai Lizhen.

At this time, Alizhen was sitting on a chair with a sad face, looking at the empty exhibition hall in a daze.

Seeing Tang Xin coming over, she barely squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, turned around and took out the painting given by Zhao Pan from her bag, and handed it to Tang Xin without saying a word.

Tang Xin opened the scroll, touched the picture with the ring, raised his head and said to Ai Lizhen: "Auntie, this painting of Wang Jian is a fake, created in the nineties of the last century, and the imitation author is a painter surnamed Wu in Lengxi County. The painter, surnamed Wu, was a friend of Zhao Yougong and was asked by Zhao Yougong to imitate this painting. After the painting was completed, Zhao Yougong gave him a reward of 3,000 yuan. ”

"So, Zhao Yougong knew that this painting was a fake, but he asked his son to give it to me under the pretense of being genuine?"

Tang Xin nodded and said, "That's right." However, judging from the information preserved on the painting, Zhao Pan may not have known that it was a fake painting, and Zhao Yougong even deceived him. ”

Ai Lizhen gritted her teeth and scolded: "Zhao Yougong, this bastard, is simply shameless! At first, I thought he was just a villain, but now it seems that he is purely a charlatan, no wonder there are so many negative rumors about him and Wenda Group in society, it turns out that those rumors are not groundless! No, I have to go and return the fake painting to him in person, expose his scam in person, and see if he has the face to face me!"

Tang Xin hurriedly stopped and said: "Auntie, don't do stupid things! If you go to expose him in person, in case he is embarrassed and angry, he insists that the painting he gave you is Wang Jian's real work, and you drop the bag halfway, and return it to him with a fake painting, and ask you to compensate for the money for the real painting, how can you explain it clearly? It is better to return it to him calmly, save face to each other, and avoid another incident!"

As soon as Ai Lizhen was reminded by him, she suddenly came over, nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, yes, this point really has to be guarded against, it is still Xiao Tang who is careful about things, otherwise he may really be blackmailed by that old treacherous and cunning bastard!"

At this moment, Zhao Yougong, surrounded by three or four bodyguards, walked into the lobby from the foyer and was about to walk to the elevator.

Ai Lizhen hurriedly ran over with the painting and shouted, "Chairman Zhao, wait a minute, I have something to say." ”

Zhao Yougong stopped, turned his head and looked at Ai Lizhen coldly, without saying a word.

Ai Lizhen handed over the painting and said, "This is a gift from your son when he went to my house, and it is a landscape painting by Wang Jian." I am an ordinary teacher, and I don't have a special teaching skill for your son, the so-called 'no merit is not punished', I deserve such a valuable gift, so I return the original bi, but I received Zhao Pan's heart, please thank him on my behalf. ”

Zhao Yougong snorted and pouted at a bodyguard. The bodyguard understood, and reached out to take the painting in Elizhen's hand.

At this time, Chen Yunhan and Tang Xin also followed.

Zhao Yougong glanced at Tang Xin and Chen Yunhan with hateful eyes, and said to Ai Lizhen with a straight face: "Teacher Ai, since you have returned all the paintings, I will tell you bluntly: Originally, before the start of the art exhibition, I had already asked Minister Jiang of the Literature and Art Department of the Provincial TV Station and Editor-in-Chief Lin of the Literary and Art Supplement of the Provincial Daily to bring reporters to the exhibition site for interviews, and wanted to do a wave of publicity for you. In addition, I also invited more than a dozen calligraphy and painting shop owners to come to the show, and asked them to buy one or two paintings for you each, so that you can earn at least four or five hundred thousand yuan.

"But I didn't expect that your mother and daughter were so ignorant, not only rejected Zhao Pan's pursuit, but also deliberately brought this kid surnamed Tang to demonstrate to him to hurt his self-esteem. I've always had a clear grudge and a straightforward personality, and I will say whatever I want. I can tell you clearly: your exhibition will not be patronized by anyone, and you will lose money. As for how much you lose in the end, it depends on how our company calculates the cost with you. ”

Seeing that Ai Lizhen's cheeks were purple because of her words, Zhao Yougong showed a happy smile on his face, and decided to continue to hit her: "Teacher Ai, it's not me talking big: with the financial resources and fame of my Zhao family, plus Zhao Pan's own conditions are not bad, it is easy to find a beautiful and virtuous girl to be his wife."

"To be honest, I'm not very happy with your daughter. Although she is okay and a famous star, she is definitely not a good wife and mother. The standard for our Zhao family to marry a daughter-in-law is to be docile, kind, considerate, and able to run a family, with all due respect, your daughter does not meet any of these four standards.

"It's just that Zhao Pan likes this one for your daughter, and I couldn't resist him at the time, so I had to agree to him to pursue it. Unexpectedly, you guys will play the score first. I can tell you: in less than half a month, Zhao Pan will find a girlfriend who is more beautiful than your daughter, gentler and more virtuous than your daughter, don't believe it, let's see!"

Chen Yunhan didn't expect that Zhao Yougong, as the chairman of a large group, would be so uncultivated and decent, and he would open his mouth in front of so many people and slander himself, he couldn't help but be ashamed and angry, wanted to contradict him a few words, and felt that he had lost his identity, so he had to endure the shame in his heart, and seeing that his mother was so angry that tears came out, he took her hand and said: "Mom, you can't be angry with such a low-quality villain, let's go!"

After returning to the exhibition hall, Ai Lizhen said to Chen Yunhan with tears in her eyes: "Hanhan, I won't open this exhibition, so as not to be embarrassed here." You call your dad and ask him to come over and help, and we're tearing down the grounds. How much money should be given to Wenda Group, a penny is not a lot of them, let's settle the bill and go home. ”
