Chapter 43: The Meaning of Unity
"No, this should be the treasure that was sold at Sotheby's in London half a month ago. The sculpture was bought by a mysterious telephone bidder, but I didn't expect it to be you! A well-dressed old man on crutches stepped forward and took a closer look at the beautiful sculpture.
"Sotheby's? So how much can this sculpture be worth? Trupp asked in surprise.
"Can a work of art be measured by price?" The old man said displeased, "Artemis is one of the twelve main gods of Mount Olympus, the daughter of Zeus and Leto, the twin sister of Apollo, and the goddess of both the hunt and the moon. It has a high status in Greek mythology, and is also the only virgin patron deity, and it is also the most numerous in temples everywhere. This sculpture is exquisitely textured and exquisitely carved, and it is truly a jewel of art! It is 2,000 years old, carved by craftsmen of the ancient Roman Empire and unearthed at the beginning of the last century. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! As I remember, the sculpture sold for $28.8 million, breaking the world record for a sculpture lot! At this time, a voice in the crowd echoed excitedly.
"Oh my God, it's close to $30 million in gifts."
"There are still 2,000-year-old antiques!"
Although the onlookers are all super-rich, they are not arrogant to this extent, and a wedding gift worth tens of millions of dollars can't help but be stimulated by his generosity.
This makes Trupp's old face not only have face, but also lining.
It is not only valuable, but also represents the accumulation and connotation of history. What merchants like to flaunt is the spirit of chasing the Central Plains, and this sculpture of the goddess of hunting can invisibly represent his ambition, which is certainly not comparable to ordinary gifts.
"If Uncle Donald doesn't like it, I'll go back and prepare another one, and I can put this sculpture in my garage as an ornament." Chen Bo said casually, but he pretended to be another one invisibly, which made everyone present really envious, jealous and hateful, and their eyes were red.
"Of course I like it, I love it so much. Let's put it in Mar-a-Lago! Trupp happily patted him on the shoulder and said, "I really didn't mistake you, Ivanka's vision is better!" ”
Phew, you're fancy my money, right? Where is all that look of almsgiving? Chen Bo said in his heart.
It is better to be happy alone than to be happy in all, how could Trup's flamboyant personality make this sculpture only placed in the small living room to cherish himself, and then called the staff in the manor, and carefully placed this Artemis in the super ballroom, and even isolated it with a fence.
Trupp happily flaunts his wedding gift as a visiting guest, while the Hilton father and daughter are nowhere to be seen.
"Why are you giving away such valuable things, it's not cheaper than that cheap woman!" Ivanka pulled him aside and counted him down in distress.
"If it weren't for this gift, would Donald give me a good look? Will you agree that I will continue to be with you? It's just a small amount of money, and if I can get their approval of me, I'll be content. ”
When Ivanka heard this, a warm current surged in her heart, and this concern was certainly not measured by money.
"That can't be so extravagant, besides, now that you don't have a company, it's better not to be extravagant." Ivanka grumbled sweetly.
"Don't worry, the company hasn't lost it. And I've scavenged more than a billion dollars from my opponents. Chen Bo smiled and told the truth, "But now I have too much negativity, and I am not suitable to sit in this position for the time being, so it will be regarded as a holiday." ”
"I see, it's really worrying for me."
"Worrying about me means you care about me. How could I be willing to let you earn money to support me? ”
"The flesh is numb!" Ivanka gave him a blank look, and said, "Paris, that woman is like a fly, she can go to anyone she sees, remember to have less contact with her in the future!" ”
"She's a fly, and I'm not pooping." Chen Bo smiled, "I can tell who is really good to me." Besides, she doesn't have your long legs of eight meters, and she doesn't have as much temperament and cultivation as you......"
Ivanka's face turned crimson at his little love words, "Why didn't I notice when you became so flamboyant?" ”
"Don't you like it?"
"Yes, of course...... I liked it. ”
That's not it, while no one is paying attention, a pair of hot lips are pasted again, it is the time of deep affection, and silence is better than sound at this moment.
Although the two often live apart due to their respective careers to do, it is this sense of distance that makes the relationship between men and women who are both more ambitious than in the past.
Soon, the wedding bell rang, and the two appeared in the crowd hand in hand to watch the ceremony.
Melanna wore a wedding dress made for her by Dior designers for 550 hours, inlaid with 1,500 crystals and pearls, and worth more than 200,000 US dollars.
The young model from Slovenia has now become the wife of a wealthy man in New York, which has to be said to be a period of creation in life.
No matter her figure and temperament, she is not much worse than Ivanka, and she is not much different in age, so it is no wonder that she is always full of hostility towards this stepmother.
There is nothing to write about in a wedding, it is just a ceremony for the rich to show off, and it is also a social occasion.
After the incident in the small living room, no one looked at Chen Bo with disdain, since it was a sky-high gift of tens of millions, then his net worth must be expensive, even if he was down, he was still a rich man.
The American class does not have the deep-rooted aristocratic inheritance idea as in Europe, and having money, power, and ability is enough for you to mingle in high-class circles.
After the wedding, Chen Bo brought back a group of bear children from the children's paradise area, and what was surprising was that they didn't see each other for a while, their originally clean clothes were stained with mud, and there were scars on their faces, obviously there were traces of battle.
Chen Bo had a gloomy face, asked them to stand in a row one by one, and said sharply, "Who will tell me what's going on?" Did you get into a fight with the other kids? ”
Several people lowered their heads, stared at the ground and remained silent, carrying out a non-violent non-cooperation movement.
"Okay, don't you speak, do you?" Chen Bo snorted coldly, "If anyone takes the initiative to admit his mistake, then I won't punish him." ”
A few people remained unmoved, as if they had reached an offensive and defensive alliance.
Small, I can't cure you? Chen Bo said in his heart.
"Pei Yu, you are the biggest here, and you should be responsible for the mistakes made by your younger brothers and sisters. If you don't speak, you'll be punished for not being allowed to play with the little golden retriever in the future, and I will sell the dog! ”
This punishment is not heavy, a few puppies have almost become their loyal little followers since they bought back, feeding, bathing, and playing every day are not just pets, but more like the purest friends, even if they travel around the world and specially hire staff to take care of pets.
Chen Bo used their hearts as punishments, which was naturally very severe.
"Don't ......," Pei Yu immediately protested.
"So what do you say?"
"Yes......" Pei Yu thought for a while, endured the pain in her heart, and swallowed back the words to her mouth.
"It's none of her business, I've caused it!" Chen Jiayan took the initiative to stand up at this time, holding up his small chest and said, the white shirt on his body had not only become dirty, but also torn and damaged, revealing a white belly.
"No, no. It was my fault! Jinyu also came out at this time.
Immediately afterwards, the other children stood up one after another, and even the introverted Qingyu stared at him with pitiful eyes.
Yoh? Have you learned to hold together? Chen Bo said in his heart. But it's still very gratifying to see them advance and retreat together. He squatted down and said earnestly, "I don't blame you for the fight, you know?" It's normal for children to fight with each other, but I want to know why, what is the cause? ”
"It's their younger brother and sister who laugh at it!" Jin Yu pouted and said aggrievedly, "They say that yellow-skinned children are very low-level, and they also say what yellow-skinned dogs, yellow-bred pigs and the like." Then we taught them a hard lesson! ”
"What if it happens again next time?" Although Chen Bo understood the truth of the matter, he still pretended to be angry and asked.
"Beat them up!" Jia Yan raised his little fist and waved, as if showing off his sense of responsibility as a little man.
"That's right! Just beat them up! Chen Bo changed his gloomy face just now, but encouraged them in surprise, "What I care about is not that you are fighting, but what you are fighting for, and the power of your fists is to protect your relatives and friends." If you join forces to bully other children, then I will punish you severely. If it's you who defend your dignity in the face of bullying, then I'll reward you too! ”
"Really, you're not going to take the puppy away, are you?" A few little ones were overjoyed to hear that there was no punishment.
"Of course not, because you are on the side of justice!" Chen Bo touched their little heads one by one and said, "Do you find that it is more powerful to be united?" Then even if you grow up in the future, even if you are estranged because of some misunderstandings, then when you encounter bullying from outsiders, you must stand up and unite together to protect your interests. Because you are the best buddies and the closest family members! ”
"Well, we're all family!"
Although the little ones didn't seem to understand, they still nodded heavily and took these words to heart, no matter how much wind and waves they encountered in the future, they could always unite and be invincible.
"Dad, I want to learn kung fu from you, I'm a man, I have to protect my sister and sister!" Chen Jiayan said resolutely at this time.
"Can you endure hardship?"
"Yes!"
"Can you stand the boring practice all year round?"
"Yes!"
"Then can you remember that learning kung fu is to protect your family and not to bully?"
"I can!!"
"Okay, when we come back from our trip, Dad will find you a master to teach you real kung fu."
Touching his little head, Chen Bo felt that the child had suddenly grown up, and a seed of responsibility was planted in his heart, just waiting for the future to take root and sprout into a towering tree.
