Chapter 14 The Big Four Compete for Merit
The four giants stood respectfully at the door, standing with their hands down, with a posture of never daring to enter the courtyard without the approval of the master.
Sun Fu also gave Jiang Qin a thumbs up: "Old Jiang, this thing is done beautifully, why didn't I think of it earlier."
Huo Du spread his hands and said: "How else to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, Sun Lao Er, we still have to learn from others, this is good, in front of Mr. Ling, let Jiang Lao go down."
"Young man, there are still many places for you to learn from the old decay." Thinking that he had won the favor of the Emperor of War in one fell swoop, Jiang Qin felt that he was doubly bullish, not to mention how high-spirited he was.
Sun Cripple and Huo were almost angry on the spot.
When Old Man Chu came to the gate, he saw a row of famous cars with more than 10 million slips parked outside, full of bodyguards wearing black suits with dignified expressions, and there were two rows of etiquette ladies wearing cheongsams standing on both sides of the four giants, each of them holding a brocade box in their hands, it seemed that it should be a gift for Ling Zheng.
Although Chu Peng is also from a well-off family, where have he ever seen such a big character and pomp, he suddenly looked a little cramped.
But he is still an old man, and he quickly stabilized his mind, and surrounded by everyone, he came to the opposite side of the four giants with a smile, and arched his hand: "The four nobles came to the cold house, which really made my Chu family flourish, and I Chu Peng was fortunate to be like this, on behalf of the Chu family, welcome everyone's arrival, please inside." ”
Chu Peng!
Because they were afraid that something would go wrong in front of Mr. Ling, these four people had all gone through a thorough investigation of the Ling family in advance, so the name Chu Peng was not unfamiliar to them.
Isn't this Mr. Ling's grandfather?
It is said that this old man has a transcendent status in the entire Chu family.
That can't be ignored.
"Come on, bring me the gift I gave to Old Lady Chu."
Sun Cripple was the first to jump out, his main purpose today was to steal the limelight with Jiang Qin, so he thought of a lot of ideas with the company's planning department overnight, such as giving a gift to the old man of the Chu family, the old man had face, he said a few kind words in front of the master, and Jiang Qin had to stand aside.
What he was most unconvinced about was Jiang Qin, an old thing, who thought of the good idea of giving a villa, but in fact, Sun Cripple really didn't look down on the villa in front of him, and he had much better than this.
But if you send the villa again, obviously you don't have any intentions, so he didn't sleep all night last night.
Hearing that Sun Cripple actually called himself Old Lady Chu, Chu Peng's heart was suddenly full of ambition, and it felt really good. And what the second master of the family said was not to give, but to give, this is what the subordinates said to the superiors, and none of the people present could hear it. But the old man was so happy.
"Old lady, the little Sun Fu has said hello to you, my Sun Fu has never served anyone in his life, so he will serve your grandson-in-law Mr. Ling, he is your grandson-in-law, I will be your great-grandson in the future, if you have any instructions in the future, just call me directly, I am a rough person, and I am not very good at talking, I heard that you used to be a teacher, and you like to collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and I specially present Wu Daozi's authentic "Confucian Statue" a pair. Not to mention, you always follow Sage Kong, and you really look a little similar. ”
"Second Sun, you ......"
Jiang Qin had already seen that Sun Cripple, as soon as they met today, he was holding back his awkwardness, probably because he had made meritorious contributions in front of the Emperor of War, and he was not convinced. Originally, he didn't take it seriously, but he didn't expect Sun Lao Er to come prepared and come up with such a pleasing big gimmick, and he suddenly became worried.
He didn't want to be robbed of his merit in front of the Emperor of War.
"The statue of Confucius is actually the statue of Confucius, the true work of Wu Daozi."
"It's worth at least 20 million or more!"
"This is the highest honor for a teacher."
"The most valuable thing is that this Sage Kong is really a little similar to our old lady Chu." Hearing that Sun Cripple called Old Lady Chu Peng, the others also followed suit. In fact, it's like a few, at most it's a bit like the age, but Sun Cripple says it's like it, who dares to say it's not like it.
Chu Peng did be a teacher for a few months when he was young, but he soon quit, even Chu Peng himself almost forgot about it, I really didn't expect Sun Cripple to even dig out this kind of passing clouds, it can be seen that he has worked hard. In fact, what kind of honor is not honorable nonsense, the key is that this painting is worth 20 million, and it was personally given by Second Master Sun, which is an honor in itself.
Chu Peng was so happy at that time, his voice trembled, "This, this, I heard that this painting has been missing for many years, and Second Master Sun must have spent a lot of effort to find it." I have a heart, I really have a heart, but this thing is too precious, I am afraid that I will not be blessed with old age, and I really deserve it......"
"Old lady, don't say that, there is no other place in this world where you are more suitable to collect this painting, what is precious, this little money, I am afraid that your old man will not look down on it, if you like it, it is my ancestor who has accumulated virtue, you must accept it." Chu Peng's enjoyment can be seen by a fool, Sun Cripple's heart was suddenly refreshed, and he thought, Jiang Qin, Chen Heibai, I see how you still compete with me.
"Second Sun, have you finished speaking, hurry up and let me go, what is so great about the statue of Kong Sheng, look at you, tell you, as soon as my gift is taken out, you will be out of action immediately!" Huo Du immediately shouted unconvinced.
"Huo San, you just brag, you can't surpass me, it's useless to brag." Sun Cripple thought that he had the ticket to victory, and smiled with his hands behind his back, his face full of pride and complacency.
"You see, I don't miss you."
"It's okay to just talk about it and not practice, you can take it if you have the ability." Sun Cripple rolled his eyes and snorted, he still didn't believe it, what gift could be more meaningful than what he gave, Kong Shengxiang gave it to the teacher, tsk, this idea is absolutely amazing. What's the use of money, is the owner short of money, giving gifts in front of the master, it's worthless and useless. This limelight was grabbed by his grandson's lame.
"Old lady, the small one is Jiangzhou Huo Du, and the little one has prepared a gift for your old man this time, which is not a good thing, but at least it is much stronger than the statue of Lao Shizi Kong, you see ......" Huo Du didn't say what it was, he directly took an antique box from his subordinates, opened the lid of the box, and a strong aroma erupted.
"It's ......"
The box is quite large, but inside it is only a palm-sized green fruit, which seems to be a longevity peach, which looks similar to the head of the old birthday star.
"Haha." Sun Cripple suddenly laughed: "I said Huo San, this is the gift you boast of being better than the statue of Kong Sheng, I think you are tired and crooked, run to the door of the old lady Chu to play tricks, just give such an unripe peach, and brag about it, you are not afraid that Mr. Ling will blame it later, you can't eat it and walk around......"
Jiang Qin also added oil and vinegar: "Xiao Huo, I didn't say you, you are really a little too much, you are also scoring occasions for this set, this is where you can make trouble." ”
"This, this ......"
Seeing that everyone shook their heads at him, Jiang Qin, this old thing, took the opportunity to fall into the well, Huo Du was a rough man, and he was afraid, so he suddenly blushed and his neck thickened: "You two don't come to this set, my loyalty to Mr. Ling can be shown every day, don't think about wronging me, old lady, you have to be discerning, I Huo Du definitely has no disrespect for you, this fruit is not a peach, this is a hundred-year-old fruit." ”
"I bought it back for 50 million."
"I'll go, at yesterday's auction meeting in Jiangdong Hangcheng, I did sell a century-old vermilion fruit at a price of 50 million." At this time, someone suddenly patted his head and said.
"I heard that this kind of vermilion fruit is produced at the top of the Tianshan Mountains, blooms for a hundred years, bears fruit for a hundred years, and has a very short life, almost fleeting, so it can be called priceless."
"The main thing is not the rarity, but its efficacy, it is said that this thing has the effect of prolonging life, young people eat it, their immunity is bursting, and they will hardly get sick, and the elderly eat it, at least ten years of life, so yesterday's auction was crazy, from 10 million low prices, directly soared to 50 million."
"I found out, and sure enough, Boss Huo photographed Zhu Guo."
No matter how much the statue of Confucius has commemorative value and a sense of honor, for the elderly who are about to decay, it is a fart compared to prolonging life, and a fool can guess whose gift Chu Peng will like.
"Okay, you bull break, this time you are good, but there will be a chance in the future." Sun Cripple's expression was depressed, and he said as if he was mourning.
"Mr. Huo, this, this can make the old man say something good, it is useless."
Although Old Man Chu said this, when Huo Du handed over the box to him, he unceremoniously snatched it and hugged it in his arms, it is estimated that even if someone robs it, he can't snatch it away now.
Sun Cripple suddenly became even more embarrassed.
Jiang Qin's biggest failure today is that he didn't prepare a gift for the old man Chu, he felt that he had already given a big villa and a famous car jewelry, and he must be the most popular among the four giants today, how do you know that Huo Du and Sun Cripple have moved their brains to the old man of the Chu family.
He was embarrassed in his heart, but saw Chen Heibai walking out with a smile: "Old lady, I am Chen Heibai, old lady, your grandson-in-law, Mr. Ling, is the dragon and phoenix among people, the watch of the sun and the moon, although the ancient sages are not as good as the sages, we all admire him for the five bodies, you are really blessed." ”
But no, my glory today is all brought by Ling Zheng, this is not accidental, the property will exceed 100 million, Ling Zheng is not the dragon and phoenix among people.
And he noticed that when the four giants talked about Ling Zheng, they didn't mention his father Ling Zhengming, they all said how they admired him personally, this is a matter of nature, if his achievements are because of his father, he is at most a rich second generation, and if this status is won by his own ability, it is a completely different matter.
Thinking of this, Old Man Chu's recognition of Ling Zheng in his heart was greatly improved.
