Mr. Yichu and Chen Jing met.

As a collector, Yichu is also a well-known entrepreneur in his own right.

When Chen Jing was still in college, Yichu gave a speech at the university.

This old gentleman is not only good at business, but also very knowledgeable, especially in Chinese philosophy. Chen Jing listened to his speech and had a very good impression of him.

Chen Jing stared at this "Basho Lady" and looked at it seriously, and Mr. Yichu leaned over and said with a smile: "Young man, how is it, is this painting real or fake?" What's your opinion? ”

Chen Jing smiled faintly and said: "Old man, I don't have much research on painting, but this painting is naturally framing, the layout is dignified, and the characters in the picture are graceful and magnificent, it is indeed a masterpiece!" He coughed lightly and said, "Just now someone said that this painting, the children at home who have just learned to paint can paint, I quite disagree, whether this painting is true or false, but it must be from the hands of a famous artist, there is no doubt about it!" ”

Yi Chu smiled and didn't say a word.

The host beside him said with great interest: "So, sir, do you think it is genuine?" ”

Chen Jing said casually: "I think it's genuine, this painting is very collectible!" ”

The host laughed and said into the microphone: "This gentleman thinks this painting is genuine." In this way, I will not sell the real situation, I will tell you truthfully that this painting is indeed the authentic work of Mr. Zhang Daqian, and it is one of the paintings with the highest artistic level in Mr. Zhang Daqian's life.

And this painting has also been appraised by four well-known domestic auction companies......"

The host clapped his hands and said, "Please submit the appraisal documents!" ”

The hostess held the tray and brought the appraisal documents. The host took out the appraisal documents and circulated them one by one, which immediately caused a commotion in the crowd.

Then, the host began to preside over the auction on the spot. The low price of this painting turned out to be 1.2 million.

The host quoted the reserve price, and some people raised the price one after another, until it reached about 1.8 million. The talent holding the card is starting to thin out.

Just when it was 1,800,000,000 for the second time, someone suddenly raised a sign from the bakery. On the big screen in the lobby, it reads: "Two million RMB".

The host raised his voice and said: "Two million, today we have VIP guests bidding two million, is there any price increase?" Two million for the first time! ”

"Two Million Second ......"

In the end, the host pretended to knock down the hammer and said: "Transaction, two million transaction, congratulations to the Tibetan friends in the No. 1 VIP box for purchasing this "Basho Lady" treasured by Mr. Yichu for many years at a price of two million." ”

A picture of a "Basho Lady" found its owner in this way, and Chen Jing was also relieved on the side.

Fang Wanqi tiptoed to Chen Jing's side. He took his hand and whispered, "Hey, you really have some vision, you actually took a fancy to this painting at a glance!" ”

Chen Jing frowned and turned around and said, "What were you doing sneakily just now?" What's the matter with you, right? ”

Fang Wanqi took his hand and said, "You come with me, let's go to the No. 1 private room where we bought the painting just now." ”

Chen Jing followed behind Fang Wanqi with a suspicious expression, and went straight to the mysterious private room area in the corner of the hall.

Fang Wanqi knocked on the door gently, the door of the private room slowly opened, Zhu Cui stood at the door with a smile, Fang Wanqi said, "Aunt Zhu is good!" ”

"Hello. Hello! It's rare for you to call me Aunt Zhu, but you never go to the house to play! Zhu Cui said.

Chen Jing followed behind and also shouted: "Aunt Zhu is good!" ”

Zhu Cui looked Chen Jing up and down, nodded and said, "Xiao Chen, I know you, you and Wanqi are really talented and beautiful!" ”

Chen Jing was a little surprised, he didn't understand how the strange woman in front of him could know him. Fang Wanqi said in Chen Jing's ear: "Aunt Zhu is the wife of Governor Xu......"

Chen Jing immediately thought of Xu Ziqing, but the doubts in his heart did not decrease, Vice Governor Xu Ziqing himself was not familiar with it, and this Aunt Zhu had no reason to know herself.

Just when he was puzzled, Fang Wanqi had already pushed the door and walked in, pounced on another middle-aged woman in the bag like a child.

"Mom, it's really a big deal, two million, is that one painting worth it?" Fang Wanqi joked.

Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, and his brain instantly short-circuited.

What is Fang Wanqi's name? Calling "Mom?" ”

Chen Jing looked at the other party carefully, the age of the middle-aged woman was not clear, and she had a graceful bearing, and she could vaguely see from her eyebrows that she was quite similar to Fang Wanqi.

Chen Jing groaned for a while, and said busily: "Hello Auntie! ”

Fang Wanqi turned around and grinned at Chen Jing and said, "You are so good, I was going to introduce it to you, but you spoke first!" ”

Fang Wanqi walked to Chen Jing's side generously, took his arm and said to his mother Xu Lian: "Mom, this is Chen Jing, how is it?" Look handsome! Your daughter and I have a good eye! ”

Xu Lian looked Chen Jing up and down, with a smile on her face, but Chen Jing looked embarrassed and a little unnatural.

"Sit, sit! Xiao Chen sits here! Zhu Cui came over to beckon Chen Jing to sit down.

After Chen Jing sat down, after only a while, someone knocked on the door again, and the "Basho Lady" that Xu Lian had just bought was delivered.

Xu Lian held the painting in her hand, stared at Chen Jing and said, "Xiao Chen, do you know how to paint?" ”

Chen Jing shook his head and said: "I don't know very much, I usually don't have much involvement in this area, so I heard a little bit about it." ”

Xu Lian slowly opened the scroll on the table in the private room, gently stroked the scroll with her hand, and said: "This painting is a treasure that Mr. Yichu has treasured for many years, and he can take it out today, but also to see my face." The highest bidder gets it, and today's painting is only two million, which is really worth it! ”

Xu Lian admired this painting very much and was quite fascinated.

After a while, she suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Jing and said, "Xiao Chen, you can see at a glance that this painting is not ordinary, which means that you are still quite discerning." The first time I saw you today, this painting was a greeting gift! ”

Chen Jing was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, a gentleman does not win people's love, I can see that you like this painting very much, this painting can reflect its value in your hands, I ......"

Xu Lian stared at Chen Jing with a smile, interrupting Chen Jing's words and said, "Xiao Chen, I have heard the saying that a gentleman does not win people's love, but for Wanqi and his father, the most beloved thing in this world is Wanqi. It's the same for me, you can have the great ability to let Wanqi follow you, why don't you have the guts to ask for a painting? ”

Chen Jing said: "Auntie, but this gift is ...... for me It's so valuable......"

Xu Lian smiled and said, "Is it very valuable?" More valuable than Wanqi? ”

Chen Jing was speechless, and Fang Wanqi repeatedly signaled him to stop talking and accepted the painting.

Chen Jing took a deep breath and nodded, "That's okay, Auntie!" I'll take this picture! He paused and said: "As a return gift, I have nothing else to give to you two elders, when I was working below, I got a pot of bluegrass by chance, this pot of bluegrass is bordered with gold wire, purple and red, and the appearance is quiet and elegant, which is a different grass."

I'll send you this basin later, I hope you and your uncle will like it! ”

Chen Jing took the scroll in his hand, and the expression on his face was unwavering.

Two million is too precious for him, but Xu Lian can only accept it if he can say that.

And he did have a pot of orchid huā, this pot of orchid huā was still obtained when he was in the Li River, when the Forestry Bureau confiscated a batch of orchid grass, and there was a different grass in it Menghu saw it, and let people plant it in a pot and give it to Chen Jing.

Chen Jing had been serving this pot of huā when he was in the Li River, but later after going to Degao, this pot of grass remained in the Li River.

But after Chen Jing transferred the provincial capital, the Li River side sent this basin back, it turned out that they took this basin to the experts to see, and the professionals of Lan Huā said that this grass was very valuable.

So, the people below didn't dare to keep the thing, saying that this thing was Chen Jing's thing, so they sent it over.

Chen Jing has always kept this basin at home, and today Xu Lian gave him a painting, and he had nothing else to do, so he could only send this basin out.

Xu Lian seemed quite satisfied with Chen Jing's feedback, nodded and said, "That's okay, I will accept the gift you give me, your Lan Huā must be good, I like it very much!" ”

She paused and said, "Xiao Chen, we will meet for the first time today, and we will have dinner together later, and your Aunt Zhu will have a treat!" ”

Zhu Cui said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, don't say if you don't invite a treat, I'm very happy that the two children can come, in the future, our art museum has to welcome you to come more, after all, "The Lady of the Banana" is hidden in the hands of the two children, sometimes we also want to enjoy it in our spare time!" ”

Xu Lian smiled: "What's wrong? Director Zhu feels a little sorry for this painting? I can tell you, for this painting, I am willing to shoot Mr. Yichu, Mr. Yichu is good at painting, if you want, you can also pick one! ”

Zhu Cui waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay!" Let's not talk about that! ”

She turned her head to look at Chen Jing, and said with a solemn expression: "Xiao Chen, you must collect this painting carefully, usually look at the painting more, and comprehend the artistic conception in the painting, which is very beneficial to those of you who only know how to work all day long." ”

Chen Jing nodded again and again, and at this moment, the mobile phone rang out inappropriately.

Chen Jing's face changed, and Xu Lian waved her hand and said, "You answer the phone first!" ”

Chen Jing took out the phone and opened the door of the private room before answering the phone.

As soon as the phone was connected, Mi Qian's voice came from the other end of the phone, and he said in a low voice: "It's Xiao Chen!" Come over to my office right now! ”

Chen Jing was stunned and said, "Minister, is there anything urgent?" I'm not in the ministry right now......"

"Then come back right away! The provincial party committee has a task down, and the situation is a little urgent and special, so I want to talk to you seriously. Give you forty minutes, can you come back? Mi Qian said loudly.

Chen Jing took a deep breath, looked back at the box, and after a long time, he said, "Okay, I'll be back in half an hour!" (To be continued)
