Chapter 1016 Establishment (1)
After Chen Qingdong bought the calligraphy of Xu Gongyan and Yu Youren used by Guo Moruo from Hu Laoqi, he originally wanted to give these two things to Chu Mingyuan, but after he went back, he felt that it was inappropriate to do so!
Because from these contacts with Chu Mingyuan, as well as the information about Chu Mingyuan provided to him by Zhao Changbin, Chen Qingdong can see that Chu Mingyuan is a person with a cautious personality and cherishes feathers very much, but Chu Mingyuan is not a clean official like Bao Gong and Hai Rui who only recognizes work and does not show favoritism at all, so when giving gifts to Chu Mingyuan, he has to pay attention to some ways and methods. γFengyun Reading Network.γ
After thinking about it, Chen Qingdong decided to give this Xu Gong inkstone to Chu Mingyuan first, and he would not clearly tell Chu Mingyuan that this Xu Gong inkstone was something used by Guo Moruo, anyway, he believed that a person like Chu Mingyuan, who loves calligraphy, should be able to recognize the value of this inkstone!
On the surface, the market value of this inkstone is only a few hundred yuan, and it is a literati and elegant thing, Chu Mingyuan will definitely accept it.
It's called "throwing stones and asking for directions"!
After a period of time, if Chu Mingyuan did not bring up the matter of returning this inkstone to himself, it would mean that his stone throwing and asking for the way had been successful! When there was a suitable opportunity to transfer work, he would give him this painting of Yu Youren, if Chu Mingyuan accepted it, then his purpose would be achieved, and this would be regarded as making full use of the value of these two things!
After making up his mind about this matter, Chen Qingdong began to consider whether he could deepen the relationship with Chu Mingyuan in other ways, and the ideal state was that he could establish some kind of personal friendship with Chu Mingyuan, or even become friends.
If this kind of relationship can be established between them, then it will be much stronger than the relationship he established by giving gifts to Chu Mingyuan!
Of course, Chen Qingdong knew that with the identity gap between him and Chu Mingyuan, he wanted to be friends with Chu Mingyuan, but it was just his wishful thinking, so if he wanted to achieve this goal, he could only find another way!
Chen Qingdong read the printed information about Chu Mingyuan several times, and finally decided to open a breakthrough from Chu Mingyuan's disobedient son Chu Jianjian!
Chen Qingdong knows very well that Chu Jian is Chu Mingyuan's only child, he is so unlearned and unskilled, and he fools around in society all day long, which must be Chu Mingyuan's biggest headache, if he can become a "friend" with Chu Jian, or even help Chu Jian "change his evil and return to the right", then Chen Qingdong can be said to be kind to Chu Mingyuan's family, and they will naturally become a kind of friend beyond the ordinary sense!
This idea made Chen Qingdong quite excited, and he immediately called Zheng Hongtao, who was in Longwan, and asked him to help investigate Chu Jian's situation.
Zheng Hongtao was very careful and careful in his investigation of Chu Jian, and it took more than a week for him to bring Chen Qingdongfa a more detailed information.
At this time, it is less than a month before the Chinese New Year.
After reading the information of Chu Jian brought by Zheng Hongtao, Chen Qingdong found that this Chu Jian was not as bad as he imagined, if you look at it from another angle, this Chu Jian is actually not a bad guy, he is just a young man in the new century who has a rebellious personality, does not like to learn, and loves music!
Chu Jian and a few friends formed a band called "Burst Band", in which Chu Jian is the captain, lead singer and rhythm guitarist, and the name of this band was also obtained by Chu Jian.
Just from the name of this band, you can see what Chu Jian's personality is.
In addition, Chu Jian does smoke and drink, and also fights, but Chu Jian is not a bad boy in the standard sense.
First of all, for a person like him who has a rebellious personality and loves music, it is simply normal to smoke and drink to show his cynical character!
Secondly, although Chu Jian fights and brawls, he never bullies his classmates or anything, and he doesn't communicate much with his classmates at school, he is a maverick who doesn't talk much. Most of the reasons for his fights were because of his girlfriend, because there was also a "little bully" in the school who also fell in love with Chu Jian's girlfriend, and the two of them often clashed.
In addition, Zheng Hongtao also told Chen Qingdong that this Chu Jian has a rule of life, that is, he will go home immediately after self-study at nine o'clock every night.
This may be a rule given to Chu Jian by Chu Mingyuan and his wife, and Chu Jian can abide by it, which also shows that Chu Jian actually has a strong family concept.
Among these materials, there are also two photos, one of which is a single photo of Chu Jian, and the other is a group photo of their band.
Chu Jian in the photo is delicate and handsome, very handsome, and there is also a vigorous heroic spirit between his eyebrows. From this photo, Chen Qingdong can probably feel that although this Chu Jian loves to play music and flaunts cynicism, he is not the kind of decadent character, or the kind of young man who pretends to be decadent and fashions with a melancholy personality.
In addition, there are four people in the photo, three men and one woman, all of whom are young people about the same age as Chu Jian, and they are all dressed quite normally, without a non-mainstream hairstyle like some people who play music, and then wear messy clothes.
After reading these materials about Chu Jian, Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that this son of Chu Mingyuan really has a character!"
Zheng Hongtao said with a smile: "Yes, this Chu Jian is indeed quite characterful. On weekends, he goes to some bars, and I went to hear it once, and he plays guitar at a decent level. β
Then, Zheng Hongtao pointed to the girl in the group photo and said, "Oh, this girl's name is Su Ying, she is Chu Jian's girlfriend and the drummer of their band." β
Chen Qingdong picked up the group photo again and looked at it carefully, the girl in the photo looked delicate, her hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and she was wearing a black sweatshirt, she looked very pure and handsome, and the first feeling was very good!
"Brother Hong Tao, do you know anything about Su Ying's situation?" Chen Qingdong asked casually, in fact, he didn't have much hope for the answer, because he didn't let Zheng Hongtao check Su Ying's situation.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Hongtao really went to check, and said: "This Su Ying is a child from an ordinary family, his father seems to have some disease, he sells fruit at a stall near the municipal hospital, his mother works in a pharmaceutical factory, and in addition, Su Ying also has a younger brother who is in junior high school, and the situation of their family is really not good." Most of the money that Chu Jian and his band spent in the bar on weekends was given to Su Ying to subsidize her family. β
After listening to Zheng Hongtao's words, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Zheng Hongtao is really a person who can do things and can do things! In many ways, his eldest brother is really not as good as Zheng Hongtao!
At the same time, Chen Qingdong is also very happy, it is really rare to have such a person as Zheng Hongtao who is both capable and completely trustworthy!
After a deep groan, Chen Qingdong said: "It seems that Chu Jian is still a very caring person." β
Zheng Hongtao said with a smile: "That's for sure, for a young man of Chu Jian's age, it is the time when love is paramount, and he is definitely willing to do anything in order to help his girlfriend." β
"Yes!" Chen Qingdong smiled, and couldn't help but think of what he looked like when he was an adolescent, but compared with Chu Jian, he would choose to suppress any feelings he had at that time, and he could be said to be a "good man"!
Smiling, Chen Qingdong then asked again, "Brother Hong Tao, who is the person who is competing with Chu Jian for a girlfriend?"
Zheng Hongtao said: "That person's name is Sun Hongjin, and he is only one or two years older than Chu Jian, but he no longer goes to school and is fooling around in society all day long. This Sun Hongjin has no official background, his father is in business, and there is a mid-range restaurant in Longwan. I also met this Sun Hongjin once, with dyed yellow hair, hanging like a child, and at first glance he was that kind of standard bastard. This guy plays very wildly, and he eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles outside with his father's money all day long, but in fact, he doesn't have any strength himself, and he only knows a few fox friends and dog friends. He had already fought with Chu Jian several times, and he had neither suffered a loss nor taken any advantage. Although Chu Jian's children are a little younger, they are really righteous one by one!"
Chen Qingdong nodded, since this Sun Hongjin has no official background, he is just a little bastard in the society, that is, there is no negotiation to cut him!
Before this, Chen Qingdong had already told Zheng Hongtao that the reason why he asked him to inquire about Chu Jian was only because he wanted to make friends with Chu Mingyuan through Chu Jian.
Therefore, Chen Qingdong asked directly: "Brother Hong Tao, do you think I should go next?"
Zheng Hongtao said: "Qingdong, in fact, I have thought of several plans before, but I have never come up with a truly satisfactory one. Because I think there's something wrong with it, it's too much of a coincidence. For example, when Chu Jian was retaliated against by Sun Hongjin, you suddenly appeared, beat Sun Hongjin away, and relieved Chu Jian, then Chu Jian should be grateful to you. But, who knows when Sun Hongjin will go to Chu Jian's trouble? Moreover, you can't stay in Longwan every day, right? In addition, even if you help Chu Jian this time, how can you let Chu Mingyuan know about it? You can't just mention this matter to Chu Mingyuan, right? In this case, your purpose will be too strong, not only will this not have the effect you want, but you may also cut off the possibility of befriending Chu Mingyuan from now on. Or, if you help Chu Jian's girlfriend's family to contact Chu Jian, then this may make Chu Jian have a good impression of you, but I think that Chu Jian will never tell his father about it, so what you do will be useless. β
Chen Qingdong deeply thought of Zheng Hongtao's words, indeed, how to contact Chu Jian, and let him read his favors, and skillfully let Chu Mingyuan know about this matter, is a very headache!
