No one knows themselves better than you do.

If a person can't even trust himself, how can he expect to gain the trust of others?

Jiang Lai is not only an affirmation of his character, but also an affirmation of Dong Yulin's vision. Old man, you are not wrong.

Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Lai's words, Dong Yulin showed an expression of gratitude and relief on his face, and he was speechless for a long time. Yun Chengzhi is also happy for his old friend, heroes cherish heroes, just like that.

As for Xiao Qi...... Her attitude no one cared.

Jiang Lai put away the "Peacock Bamboo and Stone Picture" spread on the table, put it back into the wooden box, and said, "Then I will take this painting back." ”

Dong Yulin nodded, staring at the wooden box with the painting with reluctance, and asked, "Jianglai Xiaoyou, when will it be repaired?"

Jiang Lai shook his head and said, "It's as short as three days, or as long as three years, and there is no such thing as inspiration." ”

Dong Yulin agreed with this, but said: "Since this is the case, then it will be for three months." If Jiang Lai Xiaoyou brings this painting back three months later, and still finds that he can't continue to write it, then the commission will end and the painting will be returned. How?"

"No problem. Jiang Lai readily agreed.

He knew that Dong Yulin was worried that if he put this painting outside for a long time, something would happen or it would be taken possessed by others. Such worries are taken for granted, even if it is Jiang Lai himself...... It is impossible for Jiang Lai to entrust his beloved treasure collection to others for safekeeping. You have to be careful to avoid people when you look at them, how can you send it out with a big grin?

He's not stupid!

Dong Yulin raised his right hand and said with a smile: "A word is a certainty." ”

Jiang Lai raised his hand and slapped his right hand together, and said, "It's hard to chase the horse." ”

This means that there is no contract, no signature, and according to the "transaction" method of the ancients, high-five is an alliance.

This type of contract is not protected by modern law, and relies solely on mutual trust and ....... Luck.

Jiang Lai once heard such a story, an antique collector brought his cherished authentic Dong Qichang to his best friend home to enjoy, without signing, without a contract, and without an IOU. When the best friend died of a heart attack, the funeral was over, and the antique collector wanted to get the collection back, but the son of the best friend said that there was no such thing at all, Dong Qichang's paintings were collected by his father for many years, how could he hand them over for nothing?

In the end, the two families tore their faces and went to court, and the antique collectors still failed to get their collections back......

"Grandpa, will you think about it again?" Xiao Qi persuaded beside him: "This is your favorite painting, and it was taken away like this?" even if he was asked to write an IOU....... How can he talk about nothing, and what will he do if he doesn't pay it back?"

"Jiang Lai won't pay it back, he's not that kind of person. Yun Chengzhi hurriedly spoke up to help Jiang Lai speak.

After a pause, he said to Dong Yulin: "Old Dong, my brother still has to settle accounts, business belongs to business, and friendship belongs to friendship." Let's put aside the friendship for the time being, or follow the formalities of regular business, okay? Why don't you sign a contract? Didn't you find someone to fix the books before? Just follow the previous contract?"

"Hypocrisy. Dong Yulin looked at Jiang Lai with a smile and said, "I believe in Jiang Lai." Jiang Lai Xiaoyou, my vision can't be wrong, right?"

"I deserve your trust. Jiang Lai also said out loud.

"Yo, you two are really ....... One is stupid and bold, the other is cheeky. One dares to give, and the other dares to take it. Yun Chengzhi was made lose his temper by these two people, so he simply didn't say anything.

It's just that Xiao Qi's face is unwilling, as if Jiang Lai deceived her most precious thing but is unwilling to be responsible.

"Jiang Lai Xiaoyou, this "Peacock Bamboo and Stone Picture" is for you. Now that we're down to business, I'll have a few side dishes in the kitchen. Chengzhi, Jiang Lai, accompany me to drink two glasses at night? I have a thirty-year-old iron-covered Moutai here, that fragrant ......."

"I don't have time. Jiang said. "I'm going home. ”

Yun Chengzhi was about to agree to come down and drink Tiegai Moutai, but after hearing Jiangbian's refusal, he hurriedly swallowed the saliva that flowed to his mouth, glared at Jiang Lai dissatisfied, and said, "Go back and go back." I also have some things to take care of......"

"That's a shame. Dong Yulin said out loud. "Let's make an appointment next time. Chengzhi, I'll keep this iron-covered Moutai for you. Good wine still has to reward confidants to taste enough. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Dong. Then we won't bother. Yun Chengzhi said out loud.

"I'll let the car take you. Dong Yulin said out loud.

When I came, the Dong family sent a car to pick it up, and when I went back, I naturally asked the Dong family to send a car to send it off.

Otherwise, the master and nephew really couldn't get out of this empty and complicated mountain villa......

After sitting in the car, Yun Chengzhi looked at the painting box that Jiang Lai was holding in his arms, and said: "Jiang Lai, this is the work of Bada Shanren, it is Lao Dong's favorite and most precious....... You've got to cherish it. ”

"You can't see it, could it be that the friendship is not deep enough?"

“......”

"I will cherish him more than he does. Jiang Lai said loudly: "If he knew how to cherish it, he would not have ruined the painting like this." ”

"........" Yun Chengzhi wanted to get out of the car.

Isn't he fragrant for 30 years of iron-covered Moutai? Why did he suicidally get into the same car with this bastard guy? When will he be able to understand the truth of respecting the old and loving the young? When will he be able to ...... Don't always poke the old man in the chest?

"You're in a hurry to go back, is there something going on?" Yun Chengzhi felt that he still had to break the silence. If he didn't speak, he would have been silent in the pain he had been suffering before. After the break....... He will be able to experience the new pain.

"Yes. Jiang said: "Shi Daochen said that tonight I will make yellow noodles with donkey meat and fire, let me go back early." It's cold when I go back late. ”

Jiang Lai took out his mobile phone, looked at the time, and said, "It's too late now." ”

shouted to the driver in front of him, "Master, please drive faster......

“........”

Jiang Lai saw that Yun Chengzhi's face was ugly, and said, "Uncle Shi, are you motion sickness?"

"I'm not dizzy. ”

"It's good not to get dizzy. Jiang said: "Uncle Shi, bear with me, after I get out of the car for a while, I will ask the driver to drive a little slower when I send you back." ”

“.......”

Yun Chengzhi was out of breath. This bastard guy refused Tiegai Moutai for him, and he didn't even think to let him get out of the car and go to his house to eat a bowl of donkey meat yellow noodles?

Jiang Lai took out a bank card from his pocket and said, "This is what Dong Lao secretly stuffed into my hand when he sent us out." It should be the cost of restoring the fish mystery poetry collection and the deposit for the restoration of the "Peacock Bamboo and Stone Map" ......"

He put the bank card in Yun Chengzhi's hand and said, "Now I'll give it to you." ”

"What are you giving me money for?" Yun Chengzhi hurriedly stuffed the bank card back in his hand and said, "I have food and drink, I don't want your money." ”

"You don't lack it, but someone lacks it. Jiang Lai sighed softly and said, "Although Bihai Haihai also invests some money in the ancient book restoration room every year, it is still a drop in the bucket...... Recently, more and more students have applied to transfer to our museum department, and many students want to intern in the ancient book restoration room for a period of time. This is a good thing, and if young people are curious about it and willing to explore, that is the first step to victory. ”

"It's not realistic to let them watch and study in the current restoration room all day long, because it will destroy the books in the ancient book restoration room, and it will also affect the work of the restoration teachers and the learning progress of the professional students. My idea is to set up a "mock restoration room" on the sixth floor, as long as the students who are interested in the restoration of ancient books and are willing to devote themselves to this industry, we will use some pseudo-ancient books to learn and practice for them........"

"In this way, it will not affect the learning progress of our students, but also give hobbyists the opportunity to get hands-on and deepen their understanding of the industry and professional knowledge. Now that we've attracted people, the next thing is to find a way to keep one and two...... We can't let our industry have no successors. ”

Yun Chengzhi silently held the bank card in his palm, looked at Jiang and said, "I know, from the first day you came, I knew what you were going to do. In the past ten years, you have continued to donate money and equipment. However, these are not enough, and there is still no way to train more talents for the restoration of ancient books...... So, you took it personally, and used your personal influence to gather the attention of those young people, those young students. ”

"I was still thinking that you had kept a low profile abroad for so many years, refusing to accept any media coverage. If you wanted to be famous, you would have been in the spotlight for a long time. Why did you go on TV and start Weibo again after returning to China........ Later I learned that you want young people to see you, to like you, and you want to be able to mingle with them. ”

"You get to know what you do, what you're doing by making them like you. And then lead them, lead the industry, to a more positive and healthy path that can also be sustainable. Jiang Lai, you are young and have ideas. We old guys just want to do something, and we don't know where to start. Let's just talk about that Weibo, I don't even know how to use it........"

"A lot of people know how to use it, but they don't have fans. Jiang said. He opened his phone and glanced at the number of followers, and said, "But I have 1,23,666 people." ”

“.........”

"You continue to praise me. Jiang said. He felt that Yun Chengzhi's words were quite likable when he praised people. It's a long way, and everyone is idle anyway.

"I took the money. Yun Chengzhi said angrily, stuffed the bank card into his pocket, and said, "I handed over the money to the finance and said that you donated it." You have donated for so many years, and Bihai University should also show something. ”

.........

Watching Jiang Lai and Yun Cheng get on the car and go away, Xiao Qi said extremely dissatisfied: "Grandpa, just let him take the painting away?

"Why don't you pay it back?" Dong Yulin said with a smile: "A young man who has two Bada Shanren works hidden in his hand, will he be greedy for my painting?"

"What kind of fallacy is this? Does he have two and he doesn't want a third? A woman has two bags and wants a third or fourth bag. Didn't you always say in my ear that human greed is insatiable? ”

Dong Yulin shook his head lightly, looked at Xiao Qi with a doting expression, and said: "Jiang Lai is well-known in the world, and he is becoming more and more recognized by mainstream voices in China...... He is not short of paintings, and he is not short of money. What he has to do is not something that can be bought by this painting and this little money. ”

"Then what is he missing?" asked Xiao Qi.

Dong Yulin pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "He doesn't lack anything. When you think about it, this young man is simply jealous. ”

"He's missing a tendon. Xiao Qi said angrily.

After finishing speaking, she "snorted" again, amused by her own statement.

"What are you laughing at, so happy?" a soft woman's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Ah, cousin, when did you come back?" Xiao Qi heard the voice behind him, and immediately turned around and pounced on the long-haired woman behind him. Obviously, the relationship between the two seems extremely close.

"When you enter the library. The woman said with a smile. "How's it going? You had a good chat with that Jiang Lai, right?"

"I finally saw the Jiang you said. I really hate it. In the past, you always said that I had low emotional intelligence and that I couldn't talk more than my brain. This Jiang Lai simply has no emotional intelligence. Xiao Qi said with a complaining face. "You don't know, he speaks a lot more harshly than I do. ”

"Who said that you have low emotional intelligence? Just say that you are simple and cute......." The long-haired woman pinched Xiao Qi's nose, turned to look at Dong Yulin, and asked, "Grandpa, what do you think of this person?"

"People are good people, and craftsmanship is also good craftsmanship. Dong Yulin said out loud.

"yes. People are good people, and craftsmanship is also good craftsmanship. The woman sighed softly. "Unfortunately, it can't be used by us. ”

"I haven't tried it, how do you know?"

"Grandpa, deal with people like Jiang Lai...... No need to try. The woman said with a wry smile.

Dong Yulin carefully recalled Jiang Lai's words and actions, then laughed and said, "I didn't expect that there are men who can give you a headache." It's amazing, it's amazing. If I had known that, I should have kept him for a drink or two anyway. ”

"Grandpa......" the woman said coquettishly.
