The more his tone was taken seriously, the more envious Huang Dahong became. "Okay, Director Zhu, you can have a good time in Jingdu!" Huang Dahong patted Zhu Huaijing's shoulder heavily, and there was almost red light in his eyes.

After finding a seat and sitting down, Huang Dahong introduced the young lady he brought, the secretary Miss Zhou. Zhu Huaijing introduced his cousin Qu Lin. After ordering the dishes, Huang Dahong asked Qu Lin about the situation. Qu Lin only said that he was in the ** organ maintenance team, so there was nothing to say. Zhu Huaijing thought that Qu Lin's speech was not very face-saving, so he added: "Qu Lin has been engaged in construction for many years, and he has experience. But they all follow others and do not develop themselves. I was in Wuxian County, and I didn't take care of him. Now he is in charge of the ** maintenance team, managing more than 30 people, and only has a million maintenance projects a year, so he can't make much money, just a mess of food. ”

Huang Dahong said: "There are hundreds of thousands of things to do a year, which is not bad." The tennis court project is not large, but fortunately, the technology is not complicated. I can talk to the old cadre about it. According to the agreement, the construction of the project mainly listens to me. That's no problem. ”

After a while, the food came up, and the young lady asked what kind of wine to drink. Zhu Huaijing asked Huang Dahong's opinion. Huang Dahong gave in and asked Miss what kind of wine was here. The young lady said: "The high-end liquor includes Moutai, Wuliangye, and drunkards, and the high-end foreign liquor has Remy Martin and Jazz ......."

Without waiting for the young lady to finish speaking, Huang Dahong waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, drunkard." The drunkard is really good. The last time I went to Hunan with Mr. Yuan, a friend there recommended us an alcoholic, and we didn't quite believe it. When I drank it, it was really good. But the price is also the price, which is more expensive than Moutai. ”

Hearing Huang Dahong say this, Qu Lin's face and neck suddenly turned red, and sweat broke out on his forehead. Zhu Huaijing was afraid that Qu Lin would make Huang Dahong look bad like this, so he deliberately said loudly and boldly: "Drunkard drunkard!" In fact, Huang Dahong didn't notice the change in Qu Lin's expression, and only smoked the cigarette in a fog.

Zhu Huaijing asked Miss Zhou what to drink again. Miss Zhou said that she didn't drink alcohol, just drank mineral water. Huang Dahong also helped her, saying that she really doesn't drink. Zhu Huaijing politely praised Miss Zhou's beauty and demeanor at this time. Miss Zhou naturally expressed her gratitude. Zhu Huaijing found that this woman's facial features are really good, but she has no personality, just like a plastic model in a store, all parts are in line with the golden ratio, but not vivid. Zhu Huaijing always thought about Huang Dahong taking women to Shenzhen to do the leather and meat business, so he suspected that Miss Zhou might not be clean with him this week.

After pouring the wine, Huang Dahong raised his glass to Zhu Huaijing first. Zhu Huaijing raised his hand to block it and said, "I invited you today, or I respect you." "He wanted to say that he was asking you for help today, but he was afraid that it would be too out of line, so he said it plainly. Huang Dahong smiled and said, "Then don't say anything disrespectful, let's drink together." So he invited Qu Lin to raise a glass together, and the three of them did it.

Zhu Huaijing motioned for Qu Lin to toast. Qu Lin was not very lively, and glanced at Zhu Huaijing a few times with a dodgy gaze before raising his wine glass to salute Huang Dahong. Zhu Huaijing thought to himself that Qu Lin was not like this on weekdays, how could he describe it as obscene when he reached a slightly higher grade? With his knowledge, he will definitely not be able to break into the rivers and lakes, and he still has to cultivate. Huang Dahong drank Qu Lin's wine, and said that this young man is simple and rare. Zhu Huaijing knew that Qu Lin's impression of Huang Dahong was too rigid. The Modern Chinese Dictionary is long overdue, and many languages are no longer in their original meaning. Simplicity is rigidity, honesty is stupidity, modesty is incompetence, tactfulness is maturity, and hypocrisy is old-fashioned. Qu Lin is performance, Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to raise his glass frequently and drink with Huang Dahong. The more Huang Dahong drank, the more bold he became, and he spoke higher than one sentence, saying how he admired Zhu Huaijing's ability when he was in Wuxian, and how good his relationship with Zhu Huaijing was. Zhu Huaijing kept nodding his head, saying that it was that, or where it was. In fact, at that time, Huang Dahong raised his head to the sky in the county, and in his eyes, there were only a few main leaders. Huang Dahong's face gradually turned red, and there was eye feces in the corners of his eyes, so he talked about his dismissal: "Fuck, I'm so focused on work, I don't have any other hobbies, just rub a few mahjong." If someone wants to fix me, they will seize this handle and get me. Now that I look back, what am I doing? Over the years, I have been out and about, and the people I have seen are people with status and status, and they gamble, and the style is unimaginable with the imagination of ordinary people! Let me tell you Director Zhu, the more I see outside, the more I feel wronged! He Zhang Tianqi wants to establish an image of daring to face tough problems and take me under the knife. Take me as a foothold, and his image will be tall? Bird! No, no, Director Zhu, don't persuade me, I'm not drunk today, I'm very sober! I swore that what Zhang Tianqi made me look like in this life, I will make him look like one day. Is he Zhang Tianqi clean? Bird! I've got his handle on hand, but it's not the right time! ”

Huang Dahong's words became more and more unpleasant, so Zhu Huaijing raised his glass and said: "Brother Dahong, as the saying goes, when you endure people, the sky is wide. Endure the anger for a while, so as not to worry about a hundred days. The husband has to endure it. You're not bad right now, and it's a growing momentum. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, don't lose it because of the small. Come, come, drink, drink. Zhu Huaijing can only talk about this. He explained to himself, no matter what Huang Dahong said today, he would never let the three words Zhang Tianqi pop out of his mouth. But where can Huang Dahong endure it? kept scolding Zhang Tianqi, and when it came to Zhang Tianqi's various bad deeds, it seemed to be conclusive. Zhu Huaijing always persuaded him with some principled words.

Miss Zhou doesn't talk much, but when someone speaks, she looks at someone intently, as if she is listening carefully. The men were encouraged by this kind of gaze. No one spoke, so she lowered her eyebrows and looked at the cup in front of her, looking very virtuous. Zhu Huaijing thought that this woman was acting like a lady. You're a lady, it's none of my business.

couldn't persuade Huang Dahong, so Zhu Huaijing wanted to end it early, "Brother Dahong, you know the amount of alcohol I drink, and if you go down for three or five glasses, you won't be divided into east, west, north and south." Have you drunk well? You've drunk it and forget it today. ”

"The wine has been drunk early, I just want the two brothers to talk." Huang Dahong said.

Zhu Huaijing motioned to Qu Lin to pay, and said to Huang Dahong: "The two brothers are happy today and have a speculative conversation. Let's find a place to have tea and have a good chat. ”

"Don't drink tea, I'll treat you and go bowling." Huang Dahong said.

Zhu Huaijing said that it was okay, and saw that the young lady took the bill. Eight hundred and ninety-eight. Qu Lin took the bill, and his hand trembled. Zhu Huaijing felt very shameless, and said loudly: "Get a discount, this is the rule." Okay, if you don't fight, you won't fight, Qu Lin, give her nine hundred. ”

Zhu Huaijing said and helped Huang Dahong to go out. His fire seemed to be directed at Miss, but it was actually aimed at Qu Lin. Seeing that Qu Lin was still standing there, as if he was still waiting for the young lady to find the two yuan, Zhu Huaijing said: "Come later, take a taxi by yourself and go back, I still have something to do with Mr. Huang." ”

helped Huang Dahong get into the car, and Zhu Huaijing said that he would invite a friend to go with him. Huang Dahong said yes. Zhu Huaijing called Yuqin. Yuqin hesitated for a moment and asked where to go. Zhu Huaijing asked Huang Dahong where to go, and Huang Dahong said: "Jingdu can only go to Tianyuan for bowling, and Longxing, Nanguo, and Dongfang are all worse." Zhu Huaijing told Yuqin that he would see him in Tianyuan later. After hanging up the phone, Zhu Huaijing said that the friend I invited was Miss Mei Yuqin, the vice president of Longxing Hotel. Huang Dahong laughed and hurriedly said: "Offended, Longxing's bowling is not bad." Zhu Huaijing suddenly felt heavy on his head, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to drive the car, so he hung up Yuqin's phone again: "Yuqin?" I'm sorry, but you should take a taxi to Beihai Fishing Village, and two friends and I are waiting for you here. I drank a few drinks and couldn't drive. ”

A few people sat in the car and waited for Yuqin. Huang Dahong leaned on Miss Zhou's shoulder as he spoke, and snored like thunder. Zhu Huaijing looked back at Miss Zhou and said, "Dahong is tired, is he resting?" Huang Dahong woke up and said it was okay. After saying that, he fell asleep again.

At this time, Zhu Huaijing's mobile phone rang. As soon as I answered, it turned out to be Master Yuanzhen's call: "Director Zhu?" I'm naïve. Thank you for your concern, the funding report has been approved by Mayor Pi, and I have sent it to the Finance Bureau, and the funds will be in place immediately. Thank you so much! Can you schedule a time soon? I invited Director Fang, let's talk together, thank you. ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "Where, where, don't be polite." It's all Mayor Pi's care. ”

Huang Dahong heard that Zhu Huaijing's casual phone call was related to Mayor Pi, he woke up early, sat up straight, and said, "Director Zhu, Mayor Pi appreciates you very much!" The people who work in the city in Wuxian County are the most promising and your best friends. ”

Zhu Huaijing was busy and modest. Huang Dahong is still flattering, Zhu Huaijing is coping with it, but he is thinking that Yuanzhen is interesting. Now this is also in line with what, that is also in line with what, and the monk is also in line with the secular world. Since you are in line with the world, I will also be in line with you. Zhu Huaijing wanted to talk to Yuan Zhen when the time came, and let Qu Lin contract the Jingshan Temple Bell and Drum Tower project, how much he could earn, so that he could learn from experience. Qu Lin's work in the maintenance team of the organ is not a long-term solution, who knows who will be in charge of this tomorrow?

Huang Dahong seemed to be really sobering up at this time, and asked Zhu Huaijing: "What is the qualification of Qu Lin's maintenance team?" Can you contract the project? ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "This has nothing to do with the ** maintenance team, and you have to hide it." You can find a qualified construction company to sign a contract with you, and Qu Lin will pay the management fee to this company. ”

Huang Dahong said: "Yes, yes, this will work. That's how a lot of projects are done now. You can find a construction company. ”

Zhu Huaijing once again pondered this strange thing in his heart: he was just thinking about Qu Lin, and Huang Dahong asked about Qu Lin. Is there really some kind of feeling between people's hearts?

Yuqin arrived soon. Zhu Huaijing, Huang Dahong, and Miss Zhou all got out of the car, met them one by one, and shook hands. Seeing that Zhu Huaijing had drunk too much wine, Yuqin secretly twisted his leg after getting into the car. Zhu Huaijing was twisted painfully, but because of the presence of outsiders, it was difficult to call.

The 14th Jingdu Commodity Fair was held as scheduled. The businessmen are like clouds, and the grand occasion is unprecedented.

The exhibitions of Li Mingxi and several old painters also occupied a prominent exhibition hall in the venue of the trade fair, attracting many merchants. A Japanese businessman took a fancy to Li Mingxi's collaboration with Mr. Wu Juyi's "Cold Forest Map". But his price reached 280,000 yuan, and Li Mingxi still refused to let go. As a result, the Japanese businessman bought the other two works of Li Mingxi at a price of 60,000 yuan and 80,000 yuan respectively, which is not without regret. Li Mingxi's art exhibition became the most eye-catching news tidbit of this trade fair.

Mayor Pi personally visited Li Mingxi's art exhibition and showed great interest. Of course, he also watched the exhibitions of other old painters, but he stayed in Li Mingxi's exhibition hall for more than 30 minutes. In Chen Yan's words on the TV news, Mayor Pi also had a conversation with the painter Mr. Li Mingxi with great interest. Zhu Huaijing was present at the time and quietly told Chen Yan that Li Mingxi was his friend. Chen Yan understood and cleverly handled the report on the exhibition, putting the shots of several old painters in front of him, but only hurriedly bringing them over, and in the back, he broadcast the scene of Mayor Pi's cordial conversation with Li Mingxi in the original way, and the length of time accounted for half of the news. Several old painters who held an exhibition at the same time read the news and had thoughts in their hearts, so they had to understand this matter as Mayor Pi's concern for young painters, so they didn't say anything. It's just that the old painter Wang Yizhou couldn't figure it out and said a lot of strange things.

Yuqin read the news and also wanted to see Li Mingxi's art exhibition. That night, Zhu Huaijing made an appointment with Mr. Bu Weizhi and Zeng Yi to visit with Yuqin. The exhibition hall did not receive guests at night, but Zhu Huaijing was a staff member of the trade fair, and after talking to the relevant parties, he went in.

Li Mingxi and several of his students stood guard in the exhibition hall. No one is allowed to leave here 24 hours a day. Seeing that everyone had gone, Li Mingxi bared his teeth and smiled and greeted him. Yuqin whispered to Zhu Huaijing: "Why is Li Mingxi so ugly when he laughs? Zhu Huaijing didn't have time to say anything, Li Mingxi had already approached. He shook Bu Lao's hand and was very respectful. Zhu Huaijing had never seen Li Mingxi respect anyone so much. It can be seen that Li Mingxi is not completely ignorant of secular etiquette, but he has his own standards for treating others. Sure enough, Li Mingxi only shook hands with Bu Lao alone, and sent the others away with a gesture of invitation. Zeng Yan and Li Mingxi had never met, so Zhu Huaijing introduced them to each other. Li Mingxi just raised his hand and let out two oh oh sounds. Zhu Huaijing knows Zeng Slang's personality, and he doesn't count Li Mingxi's.

Li Mingxi just beckoned Bu Lao to look at the art exhibition. Bu Lao is the longest, and of course everyone also takes him as the main one and follows him to watch. In fact, these paintings were framed by Bu Lao, and he was already familiar with them, but he still seemed to be interested. Zhu Huaijing listened intently to Bu Lao and Li Mingxi's discussion of painting, and felt that he had a lot of insight.

Li Mingxi's students stood aside and watched the excitement. One of them sat alone in the corner reading a book, and never lifted his head. Zhu Huaijing paid attention to this young man, and felt that he was familiar, as if he had seen the strange man Xiang Kefu in the woods of the Academy of Fine Arts. But this person is so lonely, Zhu Huaijing has no interest in taking the initiative to talk, just don't know him.

Yuqin felt that the layout of the exhibition hall was very chic, and sighed softly with Zhu Huaijing. Li Mingxi heard this, turned around and said, "Ms. Mei has eyesight." This was designed and arranged by Xiang Kofu. It's that young man, a geek. Li Mingxi thought to himself that it was really Xiang Kefu. Everyone looked at Kofu in unison. The young man sat there alone.

Yuqin has business acumen and said: "If this young man goes out to do house decoration in the future, he will definitely make a lot of money." ”

Li Mingxi just smiled and didn't say anything. Zhu Huaijing was afraid that Yuqin's face would be upset, so he joked: "These are Li Mingxi's proud disciples, who want to dedicate themselves to art, how can they put down the shelf and engage in house decoration?" ”

Bu Lao turned around and smiled, and said, "People, the most important thing is to live according to your own wishes. Live freely, although it is bitter and happy. As he spoke, he came to the front of the "Cold Forest Map". Bu Lao stood for a long time, embarrassed, and said after a while: "When I framed this painting, I said that this painting is amazing, and if it enters the market, it will create a miracle." Mr. Wu Juyi's status in today's Chinese painting world is well known, which is enough to explain its current value. In the future, Mr. Mingxi's fame will become more and more famous, and the value of this painting will continue to rise. It is also a famous teacher and a high apprentice, a perfect combination, rare in the world! ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "The price of this painting has now reached 280,000 yuan. ”

Bu Lao shook his head and said, "Two hundred and eighty thousand? It's so cheap! Do you mean that Japanese? He doesn't know the goods! ”

Zeng Yan asked: "According to Bu Lao's meaning, how much is this painting worth?" ”

Bu Lao said: "At least more than 280,000. It's too early to determine its value, and in another ten or twenty years, let's talk about it when Mr. Mingxi becomes famous. ”

Zeng Yan is like a reporter now, chasing after him, "What does Elder Bu mean that the value of the painting itself is not important, but the fame of the painter?" And as far as I know, the wind of hype is now prevalent, and many pseudonyms can be born overnight, and of course, a mediocre painter can also be fried. And most people's art appreciation is not very high, and it is easiest to follow the crowd. ”

Bu Lao smiled: "What Mr. Zeng is talking about is the current situation, and what I am talking about is that under the condition of excluding hype, people must also know more about Mr. Mingxi in order to identify more with his works." I've always thought that Mingxi's work has reached a very high level, but it's not too famous. Of course, this is just an old man's personal opinion, maybe it's a little unseen. ”

Zeng was good at arguing, and kept asking Bu Lao for advice, but he debated many art issues with Bu Lao. Bu Lao does not rely on the old to sell the old, and is happy to discuss with Zeng Yi. Bu Lao is always very modest, and every time he expresses his opinion, he has to review it. And Li Mingxi listened to some of Zeng Slang's remarks, but he was impressed. Zhu Huaijing could only listen to it on the side, ashamed that his knowledge of art was too poor.

After visiting the exhibition, Zhu Huaijing and Yuqin drove Bu Lao home first, and then sent Zeng Yan away. In the past few days, Zhu Huaijing told his family that he would hold a trade fair, and he stayed at the meeting, so he was with Yuqin every night. The two went home, turned on the TV, and Jingdu TV's "Life Landscape" column happened to broadcast a feature film about Pei Danian, and the title was a bit mysterious: "Cropping the Blue Sky". The subtitle makes it clearer: "Approaching Pei Danian and His Flying Man Garment Company". Zhu Huaijing asked Yuqin to take a bath first, and sat down to watch TV alone.
