30.Chapter 30
In recent years, the domestic economy has been sluggish, coupled with some of the above policies, the art auction market has been greatly impacted, and business is not as good as before. Chen Peng's current auction company has also been affected, but compared to other art auction companies in the industry, his company's business is already good.
However, Chen Peng is obviously not satisfied with this, he returned to China this time, on the one hand, because of the death of his father-in-law, and more importantly, to help the company transform and expand its business scope.
He has found a channel for investment from abroad, and there is no problem with funding, and what he lacks most now is a network that can bring him more resources.
Fortunately, his father-in-law Xie Wenhua has deep roots in the imperial capital, and he has many friends in both politics and business, but unfortunately, Xie Wenhua died suddenly of a heart attack, and it was too late to hand over his connections to his daughter and son-in-law. Chen Peng can now only rely on himself to slowly unblock these relationships and re-establish a network of interests that is completely his own.
So now should be Chen Peng's busiest time, but he actually took time out of his busy schedule to personally pick up a student at the school and send him to his company for internship, and specially told the people in the company to take good care of him.
Can this relationship be average?
Everyone couldn't help but speculate whether the new part-time intern was a relative of Mr. Chen. Originally, there were still many people who wanted to stammer Dongsheng, and wanted to set some mouths, but in less than half a day, Dongsheng was very honest and thorough of his bottom, and everyone tried again and again, and found that Dongsheng was really just an ordinary poor student who made money by doing part-time work, and suddenly many people in the company discounted his enthusiasm. However, although Dongsheng is not a relative of the boss, he is serious and down-to-earth, and he is a college student from a top university in China, and his colleagues take good care of him, and no one deliberately gives him small shoes to wear.
When he first arrived, Dongsheng handled the simplest work, which was to help various offices send and receive copies of documents, run errands and do chores, and run wherever he needed. Because the company is going to hold an oil painting auction in the middle of next month, seeing that there are still 10 or 20 days left, it is very complicated to collect and identify auction items, to arrange the exhibition display area, to contact VIP customers for promotion, and to publicize it through various publicity methods. Therefore, Dongsheng is not the only part-time employee recruited by the company.
On the first day of the company, Dongsheng was still busy in the office area in the morning, and was sent to the display area to arrange the display cabinet in the afternoon.
In his group was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, who looked upright and a little handsome, and had a pair of cute little tiger teeth when he smiled, and he was very enthusiastic and talkative: "I heard them mutter, are you a student of the boss here?" Big B? ”
This person looks a little familiar, the 'qi' on his body is richer than that of ordinary people, the color is pure, and the luck is vigorous, it stands to reason that he shouldn't just be a part-time worker.
‘…… There is also a group of people who are also investigating Chen Peng. ’
Dongsheng immediately remembered what Ah Huang had told him two days ago, but he was not a curious person, he nodded, and put the oil painting and the artist's profile card next to the oil painting.
Dongsheng can't paint by himself, but the eye of appreciation is not bad, the landscape oil painting in front of him is full of color, but the composition is a little dull, the aura is insufficient, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. The framing of this painting happened to be at their school, and when he bought painting tools later, he would go to that place to paint two paintings too!
Ji Yu looked at Dongsheng's glowing little eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Top student, are you learning to paint?" ”
Dongsheng shook his head and said, "I studied archaeology. ”
"That's a pity, such a handsome face, if you apply for a film school to learn acting, you will be on fire! Those messy little fresh meats are far worse than you. Archaeology seems to be quite unpopular, why didn't you apply for other majors, I think you seem to like oil painting, you just apply for an art major, and it must be better than your current major. ”
Dong Sheng raised his hands in agreement.
"It was my grandfather who asked me to apply for this major."
"No wonder. However, there is nothing wrong with learning this major, I heard that the boss of our company, who is your teacher, used to be from the countryside, you look at the current ...... Tut-tut, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion. I, ah, I regret that I read too little, when I used to study, I said that it was useless for college students to come out, and I was stupid to believe it. When I got to society, the college students and graduate students on the street couldn't find a job, and who the was a high school student. I'm so envious of you who read now, really.
Those high-achieving students from famous schools, one by one, I can't wait to grow their eyes to the sky, I think you are different from them, we chatted quite well, just exchange a contact information, I want to have a chance to go to your school to play in the future, I will go to you, you take me around, how about it? ”
Ji Yu Balala said a lot, and his saliva almost dried up, only to see Dongsheng shake his head slowly and said, "I don't have a mobile phone." ”
Ji Yu: ......
Ji Yu was very talkative, and unilaterally chatted with Dongsheng for an afternoon, and when he was about to finish work at six o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Yu said: "I know that there is a barbecue restaurant near here, which tastes first-class, cheap and delicious. ”
Although the skewers and treats deeply stimulated Dongsheng's nerves, after this afternoon's contact, he knew that Ji Yu's purpose of approaching him was not simple, and he was more than eighty percent sure that Ji Yu was the 'other group of people' that Ah Huang said.
"No need."
Ji Yu said disappointedly: "If you don't go, do you look down on me?" ”
Having said all this, Ji Yu will definitely not give up lightly. Since their purpose is likely to be the same, he may be able to find some clues from Ji Yu's side, thinking about it like this, Dongsheng changed his mind, looked at him and said, "No." Then AA, it's not easy. ”
"Good boy, that's interesting, I'll get off work in a while, I'll use my little electric donkey to drive you over!"
The barbecue restaurant that Ji Yu said was even more difficult to find than the one that Lin Nan had taken Dongsheng to before, and after jumping in the alley for a long time, Ji Yu finally parked the little electric donkey in front of a tattered shop.
"Boss, first roast me ten skewers of kidneys, thirty skewers of mutton and beef, then two eggplants, five skewers of potatoes, anchovies, and lotus root slices, and more chili peppers according to the old rule. Five beers, with ice ballast! The dishes are all in the freezer over there, what else do you want to eat, Dongsheng, order yourself. ”
Dongsheng was a little distressed that he hadn't covered the hot 200 oceans in his pocket, but he couldn't help licking his mouth when he smelled the aroma of the barbecue......
"Why did you order so much? Can we both eat" Ji Yu looked at the skewers on the table, and his stomach was full before he could eat.
Dongsheng happily nibbled on the charred chicken wings and nodded vigorously.
Drinking cold beer and skewers, Ji Yu's words gradually increased, he seemed to be inadvertent, but he had been asking about Chen Peng on the side.
Chen Peng also taught Dongsheng for three weeks, only four classes a week, and it was divided into two classes, if it wasn't for Chen Peng's initiative to let Dongsheng go to his company for a part-time internship, Dongsheng would not have intersected with him at all.
Ji Yu inquired for a long time, and he got himself drunk, but he didn't even ask for any useful news. Ji Yu can't just ask Dongsheng about Chen Peng, so he can't reveal his stuff? So he interspersed a lot of his own things in the middle of the questioning and chatting, half-truths and half-truths.
Dong Sheng noticed that when he was talking about his brother, his expression was a little wrong, so he asked, "Then what is your brother doing now?" ”
"I, my brother ......" Ji Yu originally wanted to get Dongsheng drunk and ask questions, but Dongsheng's face didn't change, but he himself drank so much that his face was red and his neck was thick, and his tongue was a little big, "I want to know too...... I would also like to know...... He, they all said that my brother had committed a crime, stole something important, and ran away...... But I, I know, my brother is not that kind of person...... My brother is very good to me, and my brother is very filial...... He said wait, and when he has money, he will buy us a big house to live in...... My brother is very nice, really, he will never steal...... After so many years, my parents are gone, and my brother has never come back...... I actually wish he had stolen something and escaped...... Run abroad, run far away, hide and live a good life...... But I know my brother is certainly not that kind of person! My brother is not like that! ”
Dongsheng handed a piece of paper to Ji Yu, "Wipe it." ”
When Ji Yu was wiping his eyes and nose with toilet paper, Dongsheng asked him, "What's your brother's name." ”
"Ji Han."
Ji Yu was drunk half to death, and finally his friend came to pick him up. Originally, he had already said that AA was good, but Ji Yu was too drunk, and in the end, Dongsheng not only contributed all the money he earned today, but also posted living expenses for several days.
However, Dongsheng is not for nothing.
In the evening, he took the subway back to school, and the Earth Bound Spirit was still sitting in a daze on the flower bed as he had been a few days before.
"Do you know Ji Yu?" Dongsheng asked.
The Earthbound Spirit lowered its head and didn't react at all.
Dong Sheng continued: "Ji Yu is now investigating Chen Peng. ”
The Earth Bound Spirit looked up at Dongsheng suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his face was anxious and frightened, and he kept shaking his head.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be Ji Yu's brother, Ji Han. Ji Yu said that you stole something important and ran away. ”
The Earth Bound Spirit shook its head desperately, its tongueless mouth opening and closing, and constantly making 'I don't, I didn't, I didn't have ......'.
"Ji Yu believes in you very much, he should have been investigating your affairs."
Once again, the Earth Bound Spirit shed two lines of blood and tears, and his whole body trembled, but his bright red eyes gradually became clearer.
Seeing this opportunity, Dong Sheng pasted several soul cultivation talismans around the Earth Binding Spirit, forming a simple miniature soul cultivation array, and invisible glimmers of light gathered around the Earth Binding Spirit, and the broken wounds left by the dismemberment of its whole body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, its true face was clearly revealed.
No wonder I felt a little familiar when I saw Ji Yu just now, the two brothers looked four or five points alike. It's just that Ji Yu looks more sunny and vigorous, while Ji Han looks a little more delicate and gentle, the temperament of the brothers is completely different, when they look at it separately, they may not feel that the two have much similarity, but when they are put together, it will make people feel that they are brothers at a glance.
This is the wonder of blood.
"Help me!" The Earthbound Spirit finally spoke.
