Chapter 240: Encounterable but Unattainable
"Jin Sinan? My God, Brother De, are you trying to scare my brother to death, the private room of the hotel, with Jin Sinan's furniture? Yes, it seems that in addition to Brother De, you have a treat, I can't get in this hotel for the rest of my life! "Boss Jin's jaw is about to fall, although he is engaged in calligraphy and painting, but the price of this golden silk nanmu is also said to be a door Qing'er, this Wu family's eldest lady opens a restaurant, it is really different from ordinary people, either don't make a move, and make a shot is the ultimate!
"Lao Jin, chin, chin is about to fall, ask you what is the matter, what good paintings have you received recently?" Uncle De was very satisfied with his surprise, if he didn't know Wu Ye'er's ability, he would have been shocked and angry when he heard that Jin Si Nan furniture was used in the private room of the hotel, this is not a loser.
Boss Jin exaggeratedly supported his chin with his hand, and then said: "Some time ago, a friend put a pair of Wu Changshuo's authentic handiwork on my place for consignment, and I haven't made a move yet, so I'll go and ask the eldest lady and Brother De to help palm the eyes." ”
Seeing Uncle De nodding, Boss Jin hurriedly went to the back room and took out a long wooden box from the safe, which obviously contained a scrolled painting, and he also wore a pair of white cotton gloves when he held the painting in his hand.
"Ye'er, Zhu girl, Boss Jin has received a good painting, you guys also come and take a look!" Uncle De beckoned to the two girls.
Wu Yeer and Zhu Zhu were also curious about what kind of painting this was, which made Boss Jin regard it as a treasure.
When Boss Jin carefully unfolded the painting slowly on the empty bookcase, Wu Ye'er was immediately attracted by this painting, and two outstanding cranes jumped on the paper, one seemed to bow his head and muttered, and the other looked back at the one that looked down, looking like a restrained look. As the background is a blooming plum tree, the whole painting except for the red on the top of the crane's head, there is no other color, just with the shade of ink to reconcile, it looks vivid and interesting, in the upper right corner of the blank, there is also a poem.
When Uncle De saw the painting, he also loved it very much, Wu Changshuo loved plum blossoms in his life, and often wrote large seals and cursive brushwork for it, and the shape of the object did not seek realism, forming a modern and modern painting world to express the chest directly, hearty freehand brush and ink form. Moreover, Wu Changshuo has always boasted that he is first a poet, followed by a calligrapher and painter, and his seal carving skills are also at the peak, and the real is a collection of "poetry, calligraphy, painting, and sealing" as a whole, and the melting stone calligraphy and painting is a furnace, this Hemei picture is simply Wu Changshuo's very distinctive pinnacle work.
"Lao Jin, you really opened my eyes, so good to draw! It's so drawn! Uncle De praised.
Wu Ye'er had seen a lot of paintings and calligraphy collected by Mr. Wu when he was a child, but it was just a lively look, and he was really a layman for calligraphy and painting, not to mention Zhu Zhu, who had never had a hobby for calligraphy and painting, and naturally it was impossible to see anything.
"Uncle De, whose painting is this?" Wu Ye'er asked curiously.
With the help of a magnifying glass, Uncle De carefully looked at the painting, and said with a smile: "Ye'er, this is the authentic work of Mr. Wu Changshuo, a great calligrapher and painter from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. ”
Although Wu Yeer is a layman in calligraphy and painting, she has heard of Wu Changshuo's name, and she remembers that she has collected a lot of Wu Changshuo's calligraphy, painting and seal carving works in the Palace Museum. Wu Ye'er is not worried about the authenticity of this painting, since Uncle De said that it is genuine, it will definitely not be bad, and at the moment, he wants to pocket this painting. Wu Ye'er didn't take the initiative to speak, but while praising him, he looked at Uncle De and motioned for him to ask the price.
Uncle De smiled and nodded slightly, and said, "Lao Jin, I like this painting very much when I look at Ye'er, so you can make a price!" ”
"Brother De, I'll give you a real account of our relationship, the seller is also an old friend of mine, and he instructed that this painting cannot be sold for less than eight million. Brother De, you also know that if this painting is auctioned, it will definitely have to be 10 million! "Boss Jin didn't lie about this, Wu Changshuo's paintings, the auction price has repeatedly broken records, such a high-quality picture, without 10 million, you don't have to think about it.
Uncle De was not ambiguous, and said happily: "Okay, Lao Jin, you are happy, I am also happy, I will make the decision for the two girls, we want your painting!" ”
Boss Jin crisply agreed: "Okay, I'll put the painting away first!" After speaking, Boss Jin carefully put away the painting and put it back in the wooden box.
Wu Ye'er smiled and took out a card, handed it to Boss Jin, and said, "Boss Jin, we have almost selected the calligraphy and painting works over there, you calculate the price and swipe the card!" ”
Uncle De stopped her with a smile and said, "Ye'er, you and Zhu Yatou's hotel is open, this painting can be regarded as a congratulatory gift from Uncle De!" ”
"Uncle De, how can you do that? You know, I'm not short of money, keep your money for yourself! Wu Ye'er said hurriedly.
"Ye'er, Uncle De knows that you are not short of money, but this is a little bit of Uncle De's heart, you say, I am an old bone, how many years can I live? I don't have a son and a daughter, what's the use of keeping this money? Moreover, Ye'er, you have always respected me as an elder, could it be that if I have no money in my hand, you won't care about me? With you, it's even more useless if I want this money! Uncle De said.
Wu Ye'er knew that Uncle De loved herself and wanted to give herself some gifts, not to mention, what Uncle De said was also reasonable, as long as he was there, he would definitely not make Uncle De suffer anything. Immediately, Wu Ye'er was no longer polite, nodded and said, "Okay, then I will thank Uncle De on behalf of Zhu Zhu." ”
Uncle De smiled heartily. said: "That's right, since we are a family, we shouldn't be polite, what's more, everything I have is also given to me by the lord and Ye'er, it's rare that you like this painting, just hanging in your VIP private room, barely can be regarded as the treasure of your town store, haha!" ”
"Then I have to have someone make a glass cover, so that no drunken guest accidentally stains the painting, which is rewarded by Uncle De!" Wu Ye'er smiled obediently and said.
Uncle De looked at Boss Jin again and said, "Old Jin, there is still a lack of calligraphy works in Ye'er's shop, my old man is stingy and reluctant to spend any more money to buy it, this task can be handed over to you, but you are not allowed to shirk it!" ”
Speaking of which, this Boss Jin himself is a member of the Book Association, and the market price of his words is also very expensive, but Uncle De and he have been old friends for decades, and there is nothing embarrassing to ask him for a few words.
"Brother De, you and the two eldest ladies look up to me, how dare I refuse, I will send it to Miss Wu after I have written and framed it!" Boss Jin replied with a smile, he naturally couldn't think that Uncle De really let himself write because he was stingy, which was obviously elevating himself.
"Then you should do it as soon as possible, Ye'er's restaurant will start trial operation soon, so it should be a congratulatory gift from you!" Uncle De said with a smile.
Boss Jin hurriedly said: "Brother De, aren't you laughing at me, what kind of congratulatory gift is this?" I'd better choose another decent congratulatory gift to send over, and I can't drink your ginseng soup for nothing, right, haha! ”
"You really don't need other congratulatory gifts, you don't need to be polite to us, you just write a few more words, just do it!" Uncle De instructed with a smile.
"That's it, Brother De, you can rest assured, I promise to complete the task!" Boss Jin was also in a good mood and said with a smile.
After Uncle De paid the money, he took Wu Ye'er and Zhu Zhu and left the Calligraphy and Painting Garden.
Soon, Boss Jin's words were delivered as scheduled, and the authentic handwriting of Wu Changshuo was also hung in the VIP private room, and the master was asked to help check it on the opening day.
On the Wu Group's side, it is even more smooth, for Wu Yeer, the young chairman's resolute and resolute behavior, everyone has a certain understanding, after Wu Yiwen left, no one dared to jump out and sing the opposite. Li Minghui has been even more honest recently, commuting to and from work on time every day, and he doesn't dare to ask about work, but he locks himself in the office, and if there is anything really going on, he takes the initiative to find Chen Haoran to discuss it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a man with his tail between his legs.
Everything is going smoothly, Nie Xinyuan has also returned from Kyoto, and he still follows Wu Ye'er into the secret world every day to cultivate, and in his spare time, he also asks Wu Ye'er and Zhu Zhu what kind of store they want to open behind their backs, but the two have already discussed, they both shook their heads and didn't know, and just told him to sit and wait for the opening.
Chen Haoran's cultivation was also very smooth, he was originally extremely smart, and with Wu Ye'er's careful guidance, it didn't take long for him to cultivate, and he had already broken through the first layer of the Star Spirit Technique, and was ready to start the second layer of cultivation.
Zhu Zhu is still busy, and the recruitment work is going very smoothly, after all, the salary offered by himself is second to none in the entire Zhonghai City, but Zhu Zhu's requirements are also high, the waiter's appearance must be high, the figure must be good, and the most important thing is that he must at least have a bachelor's degree. Zhu Zhu explained that his shop sells not only ginseng soup, but also traditional culture, and those who can come to this restaurant to dine are either rich or expensive.
The next thing is to be busy with training, the chef is okay, the hired are some Chinese chefs, mainly for the training of waiters is relatively strict, including etiquette, manners and the like, it is necessary to train, and the customized work clothes are also white and blue cheongsam. A slender and slender beauty, wearing a cheongsam, sets off an outstanding temperament, these waiters stand at the door, it is simply a living signboard.
As for the name of the hotel, Wu Ye'er was so mysterious that she had to wait until the day of the opening to reveal it, Zhu Zhu pestered her for a long time, she didn't leak her breath, and Zhu Zhu could only do it.
