Chapter 208: Eavesdropping
Lin Weiwei is at the Gu family, and he needs to do a lot of work, such as making beds in the guest room, tidying up the study, serving tea and water, sweeping and mopping the floor, and regularly going to the garden to prune flowers and branches.
The reason why she did so much housework was that Gu Xiayang deliberately punished her.
On this day, she was sweeping the floor in the living room, and the maid who was in charge of her was very strict, requiring that there be no dust in every corner of her, otherwise she would have to sweep it again until it was clean.
Lin Wei swept the ground while his eyes were still looking around, and when he saw that the overseer's maid was not nearby, he found a corner and began to be lazy.
For Lin Weiwei, those maids didn't dare to really beat and scold her like ordinary servants, as long as she wasn't too much, they also turned a blind eye to her.
Seeing that there was no one to supervise, Lin Weiwei naturally stood behind a decorative bonsai and was lazy.
The tree was well tended and leafy, and it covered her figure well.
Hiding here, even if someone comes, she won't be the first to notice that she is lazy while doing housework.
"Doing housework all day makes my skin rough!" Lin muttered in her heart, Gu Xiayang stayed in the company all day and rarely went home, although she had the intention to seduce, but there was nothing she could do.
Instead, she was locked up in this villa, doing those annoying housework all day long, and she didn't have time to take care of her skin, which made her ugly.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and Lin Wei peeked through the gap in the leaves, only to see that it was Gu Xiayang's father, Gu Zhiluo.
Gu Zhiluo was wearing a simple shirt and holding a water cup in his hand, which seemed to be pouring water.
It stands to reason that as a subordinate, Lin Weiwei should take the initiative to go out and take the water cup to pour water for the other party, but is it possible for Lin Weiwei to do this?
She is usually a person who refuses to wipe the dust in front of her, but now she is even more happy to hide behind the bonsai and settle quietly.
What's more, although Gu Zhiluo didn't deliberately embarrass her, his attitude towards her was not too good.
If it is an ordinary person, in the face of the father of the man he wants to attack, he may go to him to hang around more, brush up on a good attitude to improve the possibility of becoming a future daughter-in-law, but Lin Weiwei is reluctant to please the elders.
In her thoughts, as long as she held Gu Xiayang firmly in the palm of her hand, it was useless for his parents to oppose it.
Lin Weiwei has a lot of confidence in her charm, but she forgets that she rarely has the opportunity to contact Gu Xiayang now, and she has a skill but can't use it.
Gu Zhiluo seemed to be thinking about something, and didn't notice that there were other people in the living room, and went straight into the kitchen. He hadn't been in for a few seconds when suddenly the phone rang from the kitchen.
"Hello? Mr. Fang? There was a faint sound of voice coming from the kitchen.
Lin was slightly curious, and poked his head out from behind the bonsai to hear what he was saying. Now Lin Weiwei is full of thoughts about finding an opportunity to leave this villa and go out to find Gu Xiayang.
If Gu Zhiluo needed her to go out on errands, she would still be happy. Of course, as soon as she came out of the door, she would forget about the errand and go directly to Gu Xiayang's company to find him. Although, the result speaks for itself, she will definitely be driven back by Gu Xiayang.
"Yes, I'll leave that matter to you......" Gu Zhiluo's voice in the kitchen continued to sound, "The venue for the exhibition will be chosen in the place you have decided......
Exhibition? Lin Weiwei's brain turned, when she cleaned Gu Zhiluo's study before, she had seen many paintings in his study, although she didn't know it, she could also find that Gu Zhiluo was a person who loved painting.
"Yes, Lao Fang, you can rest assured!" The voice from the kitchen continued, "I've already marked the paintings on display, the security is in place, and I'll ask the secretary to send you the list available for auction later." ”
Auction? Lin Weiwei knew that some art exhibitions would auction off some of the famous paintings at the same time, and these famous paintings were often expensive.
And with the wealth of the Gu family, the paintings collected by Gu Zhiluo, how can there be bargains? It is estimated that a painting is worth hundreds of thousands.
Thinking that so much money was close at hand, Lin Weiwei's eyes couldn't help but show a greedy light, she tiptoed out from behind the bonsai, and walked to the center of the living room with light steps, wanting to hear more clearly.
Gu Zhiluo's chuckle came from the kitchen: "What do you say about my paintings?" Of course, the auction will also be exhibited at the same time, doesn't it say that the auction proceeds will be donated to the poor mountainous areas as charity? ”
"Needless to say, of course I know to keep it carefully, guess where?"
Hearing this, Lin Weiwei hurriedly took a few more steps forward, and looked around to make sure that no one around could see him.
Gu Zhiluo in the kitchen obviously didn't realize that someone was eavesdropping outside, and his voice sounded very relaxed: "Haha, why do you always guess the secret cabinet in my study?" Okay, okay, even if you win this time, whoever told us to know each other for so long, you know me better than I do. ”
"Well, then let's settle it first, and we'll see you another day." Hearing that the conversation seemed to be coming to an end, Lin Weiwei hurriedly stood on tiptoe and quietly hid behind the bonsai.
Gu Zhiluo came out of the kitchen after a while, looking in a good mood and smiling.
Still not paying much attention to the bonsai in the living room, he walked up the stairs again with a glass of water and went back to his study.
Knowing the location of the Tibetan paintings, Lin Weiwei couldn't help but be embarrassed by the next thing. She contacted a friend outside and asked her to do this and that.
A few days later, Lin Weiwei received a courier, and she hid in her room and quietly opened the package while everyone was going to work.
There are several painting scrolls in the package, and Lin Wei unfolded it to see that it was a few famous paintings that she had entrusted others to imitate at a high price.
These famous paintings were selected by Lin Weiwei after peeking at Gu Zhiluo's list of paintings that were ready to be put up for auction.
She also has a careful eye, and instead of picking the most valuable, she picks a few paintings in the middle, which feels like it is not so easy to find.
Lin carefully examined these paintings, and based on her memory of peeking at those paintings in Gu Zhiluo's study last time, she felt that these imitations were indeed vivid, exactly the same as the original paintings. Even if she compares the original painting, she may not be able to tell which one is real and which one is fake.
Maybe professionals can tell the truth from the fake, but that's not Lin Weiwei's concern, she thinks as long as it's not discovered so quickly. After a period of time, the paintings that were auctioned off had already passed through the hands of many people, and who would be able to find out in which link they were dropped?
Lin Weiwei covered a few paintings with his clothes and walked quickly to the study. Gu Zhiluo has often gone out for art exhibitions these days, but now he is still outside at this point and has not come back.
Lin Weiwei flashed into the study smoothly, and was not seen by anyone along the way.
She uncovered the oil paintings hanging on the wall with ease, opened the dark cabinet hidden in the back, took out the famous paintings that had been selected a long time ago, and put the fake paintings into them, completing this big plan of "changing the tanuki for the prince".
Lin Weiwei hid his real name painting in a small bag, and pretended to the housekeeper that he had a stomachache and wanted to go out to buy some medicine, and he was successfully released.
But as soon as Lin Weiwei went out, he turned into a few alleys, and after turning around, he came to a remote café.
In the private seat of the café, there was already a woman waiting there. When I got closer, it was Gu Zhiluo's assistant.
"Sister Zhao, I brought you something." Lin Weiwei saw her, and said with a spring breeze on his face.
Assistant Zhao didn't have a good look at Lin Weiwei, but after she saw the other party take out a scroll of paintings from her bag, she still couldn't wait to stand up and open the scroll to check it carefully.
"What's the matter, it's all genuine, I didn't lie to you, Sister Zhao?" Lin said slightly proudly, "Don't forget my share after selling the painting." ”
"As long as the painting is real, of course it will give you a share." Assistant Zhao said coldly.
Lin Weiwei didn't care about the other party's attitude: "I took such a big risk, how could I give you a fake painting?" We're grasshoppers on a rope now. ”
Lin Weiwei chose to drag Gu Zhiluo's assistant into the water, because she knew that this kind of famous painting must be appraised by a professional appraiser before it can be auctioned.
And if you want to fool the past in this link, Assistant Zhao is indispensable. Moreover, she is not clean anymore, so she will naturally hide it for her after the incident.
Those millions, tens of millions of benefits, really not ordinary people can withstand this temptation.
Assistant Zhao ignored Lin Weiwei's words, checked the painting, carefully put away the painting scroll, stood up and nodded slightly at Lin Weiwei, then put on his hat and turned to leave.
Lin looked at her back slightly, and spat in a low voice: "Phew, look at her arrogant appearance, I really think that I am a character, a plaything of the Gu family, and dare to throw a face at Miss Ben." ”
Not to mention the conspiracy of Lin Weiwei and others, the exhibition was successfully held as scheduled.
On the day of the exhibition, guests gathered, and in the exhibition hall on the first floor, there were all black heads, there were painting enthusiasts, and there were art academy students who came to learn copying, but the highest status among them were those celebrities and rich people who came to the auction.
In the large conference hall on the second floor, there were already many people seated, but unlike the first floor, these people were all dressed in expensive suits, the ladies were dressed in high-end evening dresses, and the waiters shuttled between the seats with red wine.
Gu Zhiluo stood by the door, and Assistant Zhao walked over gently with a tray: "Mr. Gu, everyone is almost here, and there are still a few people who have temporary affairs and can't be there." ”
Gu Zhiluo nodded, Assistant Zhao took the red wine from the tray, poured him a full glass, and nodded to the host on the podium not far away.
The host received the signal, picked up the microphone and walked onto the stage, clearing his throat: "Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon!" Welcome to this banquet. ”
The audience fell silent, and the host continued: "The most anticipated auction items in this auction are several world-class paintings collected by Mr. Gu Zhiluo. As we all know, Mr. Gu Zhiluo is a well-known collector of calligraphy and painting with a high eye for appreciation, and this time he generously donated his paintings, and all the auction proceeds will be donated to the poor mountainous areas to help the people there. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a long-lasting applause below.
