"Isn't it? Brother Tao, did you spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy this calligraphy and painting? Shui Linglong's eyes were already straight when she looked at Liu Tao.

"Nope." Liu Tao shook his head and said: "Although I have a little money in my hand, hundreds of millions of dollars is really not a small amount for me, not to mention, as the girl said just now, if this painting is really in the hands of Rong Baozhai, I'm afraid they won't sell it." ”

"So what's going on with this painting now? Didn't Rong Bao Zhai sell it to you? Shui Linglong became more and more confused the more she listened, and couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Liu Tao waved his hand and said, "This painting was indeed bought by me from Rong Bao Zhai, but it cost 60,000 yuan instead of hundreds of millions of dollars." ”

"Isn't it? You only paid 60,000 yuan for this painting? You're not fooling us, are you? Shui Linglong made it clear that she didn't believe it.

"What did I lie to you. This painting is indeed bought by me for 60,000 yuan, if you don't believe it, you can go to Rong Bao Zhai to ask, see if this painting was bought from there, I still have an invoice in my hand. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Brother, you're the legendary leak, right? And it's still in Rong Bao Zhai to pick up leaks! You're really showing your face! Lin Feng couldn't help but shout.

"The main thing is that I'm lucky." Liu Tao smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Brother, look at what you said, why don't I have such good luck. You rely on strength for this. Lin Feng hurriedly said.

"Not really. Brother Tao, you can pick up the leak in Rong Bao Zhai, you are the first one I have ever heard of. Shui Linglong also echoed.

At this time, someone walked up to Liu Tao, frowned and asked, "Young man, you said that this water painting was bought from Rong Bao Zhai?" ”

"Yes." Liu Tao looked at the person who asked and nodded.

"I really can't believe that there are still people who can pick up leaks in Rong Bao Zhai. Lad, are you interested in coming to work in my company? As soon as the other party finished speaking, he took out a business card from his arms and handed it to Liu Tao, and said very politely: "Let me introduce myself, I am the general manager of Jingcheng Auction Co., Ltd." If you're interested. You can come to work in my company, and the main task is to be responsible for verifying the authenticity of the antiques that the seller entrusts us to auction. I don't know if you'd like to? ”

"Mr. Ma, thank you for looking up to me, but I'm sorry. I can't promise you. I just started to learn from the master, and I don't know much about the highly professional job of antique appraisal, so I can't do the job you gave me. I'm going to continue to study now, but I'll talk about work later. Liu Tao very politely rejected the olive branch thrown by the other party.

"Don't you really think about it? The treatment I gave was very generous. "The other party still doesn't give up.

"Mr. Ma, money is very important to me. But not the most important thing. I just want to study hard with my master now. Liu Tao was not moved by the money proposed by the other party in the slightest. For him, money is actually really meaningless sometimes, if he just wants to live comfortably, he doesn't need to work so hard at all, he just needs to use Tianyan to participate in some public conferences and other activities every year, and the money he earns is enough for him to live a very luxurious and luxurious life.

"Okay. If you want to come to work in my company one day, you can call me at any time. When the other party heard Liu Tao say this, he immediately dispelled this idea. There is no way, who let him meet is a master who is not short of money to spend.

"Well, I will." Liu Tao said a kind word.

Wait until the other person leaves. Shui Linglong gave him a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Good job!" ”

Liu Tao smiled at her and did not speak.

The banquet ended quickly.

When the guests left one by one, the Lin family began to pack up busily. Then, Lin Zihan and others also left the capital and rushed to their jobs.

For a while, only Lin Lao and Liu Tao were left in the entire Lin family.

"Master, do you want to go back to Mending City to live for a while? I don't have much to do here, I want to go back sooner. If I go back, there will be no one to accompany you. Liu Tao said with some sadness.

Lin Lao shook his head. Say, "Go ahead and do whatever you want." I'm so glad you came for my birthday. If you need any help, just call the master and the master will help you out. ”

"Okay! If you miss me, call me. I'll come to see you in the car. Liu Tao's eyes were already welling up with tears.

"Good!" Lin Lao readily agreed.

After the matter was dealt with, Liu Tao was ready to return to Binjiang.

Unexpectedly, what he never dreamed of was that on the flight to Binjiang, he saw an acquaintance.

This acquaintance is none other than Shui Linglong.

"Linglong. How did you end up here? When Liu Tao saw her, he was startled and hurriedly asked.

"I'm going back to Binjiang with you." Shui Linglong gave the answer cleanly.

"My aunt, which door are you going back to Binjiang with me! You are the treasure of the Shui family, if something happens to you, your parents, grandparents will definitely not let me go. Just spare me. When Liu Tao heard this, he was all older. Isn't this an international joke, if Shui Linglong follows him back to Binjiang, it is estimated that both the Shui family and the Xue family will dismantle him.

"Can you make a difference? I don't think you're quite capable of fighting. Shui Linglong gave him a blank look and sneered.

"Look at what you said. What does this have to do with whether or not you can fight? Aren't you about to get engaged? If you go to Binjiang with me now, Xue Fatzi won't have to find people all over the world to hunt me down. I haven't seen enough of this world at such a young age, but I don't want to go to the Yama Hall to meet the king of Hades so early. Liu Tao said.

"I don't care! I don't have any friends in Binjiang, so you won't just watch me wander outside. Shui Linglong saw that Liu Tao was so unreasonable, and immediately pretended to be pitiful.

"Alas, I was really defeated by you. If you want me to take you in, you can do that, but I have one condition. Liu Tao thought for a moment and said.

"I knew you were the best for me!" Shui Linglong heard Liu Tao's words and hurriedly patted her ass.

"Come less. When we get to Binjiang, you can call home immediately. In the future, I will call home every few days, so that my family will not be in a hurry, okay? Liu Tao said with a serious face.

"Okay! No problem! Shui Linglong immediately agreed.

So, a man and a woman returned to Binjiang in this way.

As soon as he got off the plane and exited the airport, Liu Tao immediately asked Shui Linglong to call home. In any case, at the very least, you have to reassure your family first.

Although Shui Linglong was not very happy, since she had already promised Liu Tao, she quickly dialed the phone number of her grandfather's house.

Shui Lao answered the phone as soon as he received Shui Linglong's call.

"Linglong, where are you now?" Shui Lao hurriedly asked.

"I'm in a place you can't find right now." Bai Linglong said calmly.

"Linglong, why did you run away from home? Do you have any grievances to tell me, grandpa is here to call the shots for you. Shui Lao's tone was full of reproach and love.

The so-called deep love and responsibility are the mentality of Shui Lao at this moment.

"Grandpa, don't you still understand my grievances? I don't want to get engaged to Fat Xue at all. Shui Linglong shouted at the other end of the phone, her tone full of anger and helplessness.

"Linglong, grandpa understands your feelings. Do you think this is good, you go home first, let's discuss it and see if we can find a perfect solution, okay? Shui Lao said cautiously. Although he is a big man in the army, in front of his precious granddaughter, he has no temper at all, lest he say something too harsh and hurt Shui Linglong's heart.

"No! If I go back now, you'll lock me up!" I'm not that stupid! I don't care, when will you cancel your marriage to Xue Fatzi's family before I can go back. Shui Linglong did not hesitate to reject the proposal proposed by her grandfather.

"Alas...... You kid is really disobedient. Okay, I'll talk to your parents about it, and I'll call you when the time comes, but don't turn off your phone. Shui Lao thought for a moment and said.

"Hmm." Shui Linglong agreed.

When she hung up the phone, Shui Linglong said to Liu Tao, "Where are we going now?" ”

"Where else can I go? Of course, it's a hotel, but at least you have to find a place to stay. Liu Tao glanced at her and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Isn't it? I don't want to go to a hotel. Brother Tao, isn't your home from Binjiang? Can't I go to your house? Shui Linglong sent a request to Liu Tao.

"That doesn't seem like a good fit, does it?" Liu Tao said with some embarrassment.

"There's something wrong with this. I don't know anyone in Binjiang, and the only one I know is you. If I can stay in your house, I will have someone to take care of me, don't you think? Shui Linglong said.

"There's some truth to what you're saying. Okay, then you come home with me. However, you can't stay in my house, I can find you a place. Liu Tao thought for a moment and said.

"What kind of place are you going to find me?" Shui Linglong asked a little unhappily.

"The place I found you is right across the street from my house, and it's my Chinese teacher's home. Anyway, she lives alone on weekdays, so you can be a companion with her when you go. Liu Tao replied.

"That's right. Yes! I agreed! Shui Linglong smiled.

"If you agree, people don't necessarily agree. When I got home in a moment, I went over and asked her. When Liu Tao saw her like this, his heart was full of helplessness.

"I'm so cute, how could she not want to live with me." Shui Linglong blinked as she spoke.

"You're such a kid. Go, come home with me. As soon as Liu Tao finished speaking, he stopped a taxi. When Shui Linglong got into the car, Liu Tao reported the address, and then the taxi driver stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the destination. (To be continued.) )
