The Chucheng Art Museum is not far from Chujiang University, and Chen Jing is visiting this place for the first time today.

As soon as he stepped through the doors of the museum, he felt a special sense of tranquility in his heart.

The architecture here is quaint, the winding paths are secluded, and the tall trees cover the winding paths in this hot summer, and the slightest coolness under the shade of the trees makes people feel refreshed.

Walking in such an environment, Chen Jing only felt that the hustle and bustle outside was blocked by this winding path, and there was a rare relaxation in his heart.

When he was quiet and calm, Chen Jing remembered that he should go to Chujiang University to sign up for study, and he thought every day that he wanted to study and recharge, but in actual action, he was burdened by mundane things, and many jobs that he knew were important were delayed again and again, or even shelved.

Chen Jing sighed, and Fang Wanqi on the side patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't sigh, be energetic, sigh at a young age, others still treat you as a half-old man."

Chen Jingdao: "You don't understand, where am I sighing, I regret that the environment here is so beautiful, like a paradise, but I have never been here before, it's a pity"

Fang Wanqi squinted and smiled: "That's not easy, won't we come often in the future?" You must remember that no matter how stressful you are, you should not forget to rest and relax. Isn't there a saying? If you walk too long, you have to stop and rest and let the soul follow......"

Chen Jing smiled: "Where did you hear all this bullshit? Do you think that mine is separate from my soul?"

Fang Wanqi smiled. Said: "Almost, even if you haven't broken away yet, but there is a danger of separation."

Chen Jing shook his head, a little ashamed in his heart. I was a little helpless.

Indeed, Chen Jing sometimes feels that he does not belong to him, and he is too busy with work. Every day, the whole person is wrapped in endless things, and I really calm down to spend time with my family. There is less time to think about your life.

The opportunity to come out to a place like today to be quiet in an art museum is indeed a rare leisure and relaxation, and it is also a rare opportunity to precipitate.

In the third exhibition hall of the art museum, Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi walked to the door along the road sign, and the sign at the door clearly read: "Exhibition of Mr. Yichu's Collection of Works."

The exhibition is free and open, and there are not many people coming and going, perhaps because the exhibition hall is very large, and the inside is a little empty.

Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi held hands in the exhibition hall and looked at the paintings with great interest.

The works on display today are the work of contemporary and contemporary painters. Among them, the works of famous contemporary painters such as Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian, and Qi Baishi are the most.

Chen Jing is not a complete amateur in painting.

He doesn't know how to paint himself, but in terms of appreciating paintings, he still knows a little bit about the doorway, and he can feel that the paintings in today's exhibition are carefully selected and arranged, and the quality of the paintings is very high. It's all very artistic.

Fang Wanqi has been looking left and right, as if she is looking for someone.

Chen Jing frowned and said, "What's wrong?" I came to see the paintings, but when I came in, I was restless, and I looked left and right, what were I doing? Looking for someone?"

Fang Wanqi responded vaguely. Obviously a little absent-minded.

After a while, Fang Wanqi suddenly pointed to a corner of the exhibition hall and said, "Jingzi, let's take a look over there, there are a lot of people gathered there, it seems that Mr. Yichu is also over there."

Chen Jing frowned and said, "Let's forget it, don't you see that there is a trading area over there?" It's supposed to be an auction."

"Let's go, let's go and see, maybe we can still buy a good work? Even if we don't shoot, we can look at the diorama, right?" Fang Wanqi insisted.

She half-pulled and half-dragged Chen Jing to the trading area.

The exhibition hall and the trading hall are separated by a glass curtain wall.

It's actually noisy over there, but it's not audible here.

Fang Wanqi dragged Chen Jing through the crowd like a mountain mouse, and found an empty seat to sit down.

After Chen Jing sat down, he saw that there were a lot of people in this trading hall, and there was a row of sofas at the front, and there was a row of people who looked quite status, and these people should be the protagonists of today.

The host stood on the stage and held the microphone and said:

"Today's trade fair is private in nature, organized by Mr. Yichu himself, with the aim of communicating with Tibetan friends and exchanging collections with each other......"

The host sprinkled a lot of money, and finally reminded that there are risks in collecting, and you need to be cautious when you shoot.

The implication is that the things on the field today are not necessarily true, there may be fakes, whether they are genuine or fake, then it all depends on eyesight, which is the rule of investing in the antique industry, relying on eyesight to eat.

Fang Wanqi hasn't listened to the host much, she has been looking left and right, looking a little impatient.

Chen Jing saw a little interest, because on the rostrum, a painting aroused his strong interest.

According to the host, this painting is Mr. Yichu's collection, called "Basho Maid", which is a genuine painting by the famous contemporary painter Mr. Zhang Daqian.

The painting is in a colorful pattern, with a few banana leaves on the painting, and then next to it is a maid in ancient costume holding an oil-paper umbrella, suddenly looking back, with a smile on her face.

In Chen Jing's view, this painting is very beautiful, whether it is painting technique or content, this painting is a rare fine painting.

……

In the same hall, a very hidden private room, sitting quietly in the private room, you can clearly see everything in the hall.

There were only two people sitting in the private room, two middle-aged women.

It is difficult to tell his true age from his face, as if he was forty years old, and as if he would be older.

Both women were quite elegant, especially the one who sat at the top, her hair was pulled up high, and she wore a normal long dress with white flowers on a black background with a corset.

There is no powder on the face, but there is a natural grace and bearing.

The woman below her was dressed more formally, wearing a small black suit, which was very elegant and smart.

She was squinting at the hall outside, and said with interest: "Here, you see Miss Fang is looking left and right."

The woman in the black skirt looked outside, but her eyes were immediately devoted to Chen Jing, she squinted, her eyes were full of scrutiny, and after a long time, she said: "This child is Xiao Chen, Chen Jing?"

The woman in the little suit smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, don't you know Xiao Chen yet?" Then we had a really fun day, and this is the first time I've seen each other."

She paused and said, "This child looks good, he is so tall, and he talks and behaves very well. My old Xu often praises him, how young he is, how amazing......"

The woman known as Mr. Xu is none other than Fang Wanqi's mother, Xu Lian.

Xu Lian runs her own auction house, which mainly auctions antiques and famous paintings.

The woman sitting under him is surnamed Zhu, called Zhu Cui, the wife of Xu Ziqing, executive vice governor of the provincial government, and she is also the deputy director of the Municipal Art Museum.

Xu Lian suddenly came to Chucheng this time, and the purpose was very clear, that is, she must see Chen Jing, see this boy who let his daughter die, and see if he can be worthy of his daughter.

Just some time ago, Xu Ziqing hinted to Fang Luping and Fang Lujian brothers many times that he hoped to get closer to Chen Jing.

He is now too weak in Chujiang and urgently needs to absorb some talents, and Chen Jing is just a rare talent in Chujiang's newly rising political arena, if Chen Jing can be used by the northwest department, the situation in Chujiang will definitely be greatly improved.

Xu Ziqing's method surprised the Fang Luping brothers, as far as they knew, Chen Jing was just a department-level cadre now, how much energy could a division chief have? Even if this kid is a good seedling, but if Xu Ziqing and Chen Jing can be used by the Northwest Department, the situation in Chujiang will be greatly improved, isn't this too exaggerated?

Fang Luping specially asked people to investigate this matter, but he didn't know if he didn't investigate, and he knew that what Xu Ziqing said was true.

Chen Jing is a good section chief, but the position of this division chief is quite critical, and he is in the key position of cadre supervision.

Moreover, Sha Mingde attaches great importance to this part, and Mi Qian also attaches great importance to this part, and the two leaders attach importance to it, and the authority in Chen Jing's hands is quite good.

Just because of Chen Jing, it can be that several major plans of the Northwest Department in Chujiang have not been realized, and they have been blocked everywhere, although there are factors of misfortune, but if Chen Jing is really close to the Northwest Department, will this matter not be the current result?

Based on this, among the Fang family brothers, there began to be a loosening of thinking on the issue of targeting Chen Jing.

And Xu Lian kept shouting that she wanted to cross the Chu River to see Chen Jing, and finally Fang Lujian agreed to her.

Chen Jing didn't know that his every move was being watched, he was staring at the stage, and at this time, the controversy over this "Basho Maid" on the stage had reached a white-hot level.

The main point of controversy is the authenticity of the painting.

Most people think that there is something wrong with this painting, and the main suspicion is that the costume of the maid in this painting is too old, not modern clothing.

In addition, the woman is too kitsch to draw, not beautiful at all, very vulgar.

The collector of this painting, Mr. Yichu, had an ugly face and was quite embarrassed, and the host invited him to the stage, but did not give him a chance to speak, and let the doubters find the flaws in the painting.

Just when the scene was full of rebellion, the host actually walked over to Chen Jing's side.

He smiled and said, "This gentleman, I see that you are also a person who knows how to paint, do you want to come and get started?"

Chen Jing stood up, but Fang Wanqi sat on the chair and did not move, Chen Jing walked to the stage to look at the painting up close, and the host said: "This gentleman, in your eyes, is this painting real or fake?"

Chen Jing looked left and right, and found that there were many people staring at him around, he was secretly embarrassed, where could he tell the truth of a famous painting? Isn't this coming up and out of trouble? (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) ).
