Chapter 528 Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition

…… And Wen Hui was also excited after hearing Liu Dong's promise, and his fists were clenched. Years of dreaming of it, and nothing makes him happier than this!

"Okay, Manager Wen, since your plan is so huge, it seems that you won't be able to rest this year!" Liu Dong stood up and said.

"It doesn't matter, as long as Chairman Liu agrees to this project, it doesn't matter if it's not New Year this year!" Wen Hui hurriedly said.

He has been in the industry for many years and knows what this project means for his future, so Wen Hui, who is in his thirties and is in the prime of his life, can measure that the New Year and the future are more important to him.

After nodding, Liu Dong said: "Because we will start construction in the spring of next year, so in less than two months, we have to negotiate with the municipal government for investment, and the time is very tight, so the seven-day annual leave is reduced to three days, and if you are far away, the company will reimburse the round-trip air ticket, and the salary will be doubled during the annual leave!"

As soon as I heard Liu Dong's words, at the beginning, because I couldn't celebrate the New Year, the employees who were a little depressed became excited at the moment, and I have to say that a generous boss is the happiness of the employees!

Next, throughout the afternoon, Liu Dong was discussing the specific details of the development of the Yanghe tourism project with Wen Hui and the personnel of the company's design department, and he didn't even go back all night!

……

Early the next morning, after Liu Dong finished practicing and had breakfast, the mobile phone in his pocket rang!

"Hey. Liu Dong. Are you back?" the voice of Chang Fangtao, an old classmate, came from the phone.

"It's back. But didn't you say it was after the Spring Festival? Why are you calling me now?"

"It's not a class reunion, it's a reunion of our dormitory brothers!" Chang Fangtao said.

"Okay, when is the time and where?" At the beginning, there were ten brothers in a dormitory, except for Chang Fangtao, Xie Xiao and Gu Liang, the other seven Liu Dong have never seen it until now.

"The old place, the little restaurant we used to go to when we were in high school, remember?"

"You're not talking about the 'Qiaoyun Restaurant'. It's been four years, is this restaurant still open?" asked Liu Dong with a smile.

When Liu Dong went to school, because the food in the school was really not oily and water, so every Sunday afternoon, ten people would scrape together some money to go to the restaurant outside the school to rub a meal, and the 'Qiaoyun Restaurant' located opposite the school gate was the one that Liu Dong went to the most times, and the proprietress who stir-fried there was very authentic, and Liu Dong still remembers it vividly!

"It's still on, when my sister wasn't on vacation, I specially let her show it!" Chang Fangtao said excitedly.

"That's a good feeling. We also have a nostalgic theme, so let's do it! Are all the people in our dormitory going?"

"No, You Qiang didn't come back in Qingdao, Lao Sun was in Hong Kong, Liu Lei didn't go home in the capital, everyone else returned!"

"I know!" Can't get all the brothers together, Liu Dong still feels a little regretful in his heart!

"By the way, our dinner time is at noon, don't be late!"

"Don't worry!"

……

The time from morning to noon passed the fastest, and at about eleven o'clock, Liu Dong left Lin Ling as his spokesperson and went to the city government to participate in the negotiations with Wen Hui, Liu Dong drove to Gaoliu Town by himself!

"Liu Dong!"

"Wang Hua!" Liu Dong had just stepped out of the car, and a slender young man of medium stature, wearing a black down jacket, with a slender figure, had already greeted him with an excited face!

After the two of them hugged a bear, they calmed down a little.

"You kid can mix it up, if it weren't for the fact that I often said that this Land Rover was yours just now, I almost wouldn't have dared to admit it!" Wang Hua said with a punch in Liu Dong's chest.

"Hehe, it's okay! You guy can be admitted to Xi'an Jiaotong University, but it's a big surprise to me, if I was still in school at the time, I have to let you treat this guy!"

"It's not too late to please!" Xie Xiao echoed behind.

"Okay, don't exploit us poor students who can't support themselves!" Wang Hua said with a smile.

After smiling, Liu Dong said, "By the way, why is it only the three of you, and the others?"

"Wen Qiang's family lives a little far away, Zheng Feng drove him to pick him up, and Gu Liang will be there in a while!" Chang Fangtao said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go in first, it's too cold outside!"

Chang Fangtao's words fell, Liu Dong and the others also nodded, opened the thick curtain, and walked into a small restaurant with only a dozen tables and a size of less than 100 square meters.

"It's a lot bigger here than before!" Liu Dong said after coming in.

"It's been almost four years, and of course it's going to change a little bit. Let's sit down!" Xie Xiao said.

Because there were still three people who didn't come, Liu Dong didn't order food, and chatted with each other after sitting down.

"Huazi, you will also graduate from college next year, have you thought about what you will do in the future?" asked Liu Dong.

"I haven't thought about this yet!"

"Alright, don't pretend...... Liu Dong, you don't know, this guy has got a place for their school to study abroad, and he will go to the United States to study in college in the next year!"

"Really?" asked Liu Dong and Xie Xiao almost at the same time.

"Well, Columbia University Law School!" said Wang Hua, an excited smile on his face. It's so hard to be able to study abroad in this day and age!

"Okay, buddy! World Famous Schools, Ivy League!" Liu Dong patted the old man on the shoulder, sincerely happy for the other party, when Feng Jianhui, Yang Ke and many other returnees gathered under him, Liu Dong also has some understanding of the world's major universities, Columbia University is the world's top five comprehensive leaders!

"I didn't expect to be selected! However, speaking of which, I still can't compare to you, you are now your own boss, and I have to find a job again after graduating from college, or work for others!"

"Okay, okay, you two don't praise each other, and let me and Xie Xiao live anymore, jealousy is dead!"

"That's it!" ......

"Huh. They're coming!" just as Wang Hua was about to say something. A group of three pushed the door and walked in!

"Gu Liang, Zheng Feng, Wen Qiang!" the old man was naturally excited to meet!

After greeting each other. I sat down, but there were seven of them, and one table was small, and finally the boss put the two tables together to finally satisfy them!

"Liu Dong, I haven't seen you for more than three years, you have to drink enough wine today, otherwise the brothers won't agree!" Wen Qiang, the tallest of the seven, said with a smile.

"Yes, Wen is right. When you were in high school, you kid was not honest, and every time you drank, you pretended to be drunk, but not this time!"

Zheng Feng's words were also agreed by others.

"Okay, isn't it just drinking? It's a big deal that I won't drive today, and I'll sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman!" Liu Donghao said angrily.

"That's pretty much it!Boss, bring me the best wine you've got here!" Wen Qiang said.

Although it is said to be the best wine, the best wine in this small shop is only the Yunmen Spring produced in Qingzhou!

Wait for the boss to bring the dishes and a few glasses of wine. The atmosphere of the banquet became more enthusiastic, and the cups were pushed and changed. Two hours have passed! And the dinner has come to an end!

When the bill was finally paid, the seven wanted to remember the atmosphere of the original high school, so they insisted on the AA system, and of course it was only two or three hundred yuan for a meal!

"Hey, let's go to the school and have a look, it's all here, and it's so close!" Liu Dong said.

"Okay, it's almost the New Year anyway, it's okay to go home, let's go!"

Wang Hua's words fell, and Wen Qiang said: "The students are all on vacation, is there anyone in the school?"

"Of course there are people, you forgot that there is a teacher living inside!" Chang Fangtao said with his arm on Wen Qiang's shoulder.

"That's right, after drinking a little wine, even my brain is starting to be chaotic!" Wen Qiang shook his head self-deprecatingly.

"Let's go!" Liu Dong greeted, and everyone followed, but fortunately, Liu Dong knew the old Wang Tou who was the gatekeeper, and the students were also on vacation, otherwise they would be drunk and staggering, and people would not necessarily let them in the door.

"Hey, look at the photos of Lao Wen, Huazi and Guzi on the propaganda board here!" Xie Xiao said.

"Hey, we already knew! Lao Wen's East China Normal University, Huazi's Xi'an Jiaotong University, and Guzi's Qinghai University are all key universities in 211 and 985, as long as they are admitted to key universities, they are posted on this propaganda board!"

Zheng Feng's words fell, Wen Qiang nodded, and said with a trace of memory on his face: "I think that when we didn't graduate yet, every time we looked at these people, I was envious, and now we are about to graduate from college, and now when I look back and look at it, my heart is really complicated!"

"It's a pity that Liu Dong, if he hadn't left back then, I'm afraid he would have been admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University like Mei Xue, and now he will be a turtle like Huazi!" Chang Fangtao shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Liu Dong withdrew his gaze from the familiar and unfamiliar beauty in the first photo and said: "There's nothing to be sorry for, I have a personal creation, maybe I won't have a chance with college in this life!"

Noticing that Liu Dong was not in high spirits, several people did not continue to wander around the propaganda board, but turned around along the cement road in the quiet campus.

Waiting for the playground, cafeteria, dormitory, and even finally lying outside the door, after taking a look at the former teacher, everyone went to meet the original head teacher Chen Liande together, but unfortunately the door was locked at home, and finally I could only leave with regret!

Because only Liu Dong, Chang Fangtao and Zheng Feng had a car, the three of them took on the task of sending the other four home!

……

At the end of the day's trip, after Liu Dong returned home, he was inevitably complained by his mother!

The next day, Liu Dong drove to the city again, and as for Wang Qiang, she wanted to have a good relationship with Liu's mother, so she didn't come out.

Waiting outside Chang Fangtao's community and picking him up, Liu Dong said, "Didn't you buy your own car?"

Yesterday, he remembered that Chang Fangtao said that he used the authentic painting of Zhao Yunyan to exchange for a Santana!

"My broken car has your Land Rover driving domineering! Let's go, or the exhibition will start later!" Chang Fangtao hurriedly said.

"Where is the address, is it your uncle's calligraphy and painting city?" Liu Dong came over today because Chang Fangtao said that the first calligraphy and painting exhibition in Qingzhou opened today, and there are many works by famous artists, which makes Liu Dong look forward to it!

"Yes, there it is!"

After Chang Fangtao finished speaking, Liu Dong, who was familiar with the path, stepped on the accelerator, and the Land Rover under his feet immediately rushed out. When the two arrived, the opening ceremony had ended, and after finally finding a parking space, the two walked in with the flow of people.

Out of politeness, when he arrived here, Liu Dong naturally had to say hello to Chang Fangtao's uncle Ma Zhengfang first. Then I went up to the second floor along the elevator, and it was already crowded, almost every work was surrounded by more than a dozen people, including painters who participated in the exhibition and broadened their horizons, but more of them were collectors and collection institutions!

After Liu Dong and Chang Fangtao came up, they also joined the flow of people, but the exhibition on the second floor was mainly oil paintings, and there were a small number of prints, which did not match the research direction of Chang Fangtao, who specialized in the identification of Chinese paintings, so he was more just watching the excitement, but Liu Dong watched it with relish!

But when Liu Dong saw a large oil painting three meters long and two meters high, he was stunned!

"What's wrong?" Chang Fangtao said strangely.

In his opinion, the huge oil painting in front of him showing the Xiàn Waterfall is indeed shocking, but he understands why Liu Dong is so excited!

"This is Wu Lao's oil painting!"

"Wu Lao?" Chang Fangtao soon reflected, Wu Lao in Liu Dong's mouth is now the most influential oil painting master Wu Guanzhong in the domestic oil painting industry!

"I really didn't expect to see Wu Lao's paintings in this exhibition, it's really incredible! Lao Chang, I want to buy this painting!" Liu Dong said in a firm tone.

Wu Lao's paintings are naturally impossible to let go of Liu Dong, who is determined to collect.

"Buy it?" Liu Dong, the reserve price of this painting is two million, can you think about it carefully?" Chang Fangtao said with wide eyes.

"I know!"

Since the acquisition of Jiahua and the injection of 100 million Huaxia coins, Liu Dong has only left one-third of the 150 million he earned from the Black Tiger Gang, and later took a part of the more than 10 million profits of Agarwood Pavilion this year, and then added Xie Zhonglin Fuxing's share of gambling stones, Liu Dong theoretically has 95 million in his hands, but the decoration balance of the Agarwood Pavilion Island City branch and Wohu Mountain Villa in the middle cost more than 5 million.

In the middle, Liu Dong's treasure digging in the island city, as well as other daily odd expenses, lost more than two million!

Now Liu Dong still has 88 million in his hands!
