Chapter 194: Zhen Xuelan's Olive Branch
Regarding Hu Jiarui's death, the police are still investigating.
However, Jun Chengzong and they all know that no matter how hard the police try to investigate, the result will be the same as the case of Huo Wenxing and Jiang Yitong, with no clue.
That night, Zhen Xuelan arranged for someone to seal the "Shaver" in a safe, and issued a notice to all buyers who participated in the auction the next day, telling them that the "Shaver" created by Li Yunfei would not participate in the auction the next day.
But even after arranging all these things, Jun Chengzong still felt strange in his heart, always feeling as if there was still a big stone blocking in his heart, and he always had a faint sense of foreboding.
However, the top priority at the moment is to thoroughly investigate this painting, and find out the origin of the fringe spirit in this painting, and then we can solve the problem of this painting in a targeted manner.
Although Jun Chengzong knows a lot about artworks, if he is asked to investigate the story behind a work of art, then he will be blind, and he will not even know where to go to investigate.
Jun Chengzong is like this, so Judy naturally needs not talk about it.
There was no way, Jun Chengzong had to find Zhen Xuelan again.
Zhen Xuelan has been immersed in the world of art for many years, and she must know where to go to find out about the background of the oil painting "The Shaver".
Because of the tragedy caused by the painting "The Head Shaver" one after another, Zhen Xuelan didn't sleep all night, and immediately rushed over after receiving a call from Jun Chengzong, perhaps for the sake of her friend Huo Wenxing, she wanted to find out what was going on with this painting more than anyone else.
Zhen Xuelan also doesn't know much about the background of the creation of "The Head Shaver", but she knows where to look for possible information.
Art Archives.
For those who work in art collecting, the level of knowledge about art determines how high they can reach in this industry.
Therefore, people like Zhen Xuelan need to often go to some more professional places to learn and recharge, so as not to be eliminated by the industry they are engaged in.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhen Xuelan is very familiar with this art archive in the suburbs.
"If you can't find any information about the painting here, then I'm afraid you won't find it." Zhen Xuelan stopped the car in front of the art archive and said to Jun Chengzong and Judy.
In Zhen Xuelan's understanding, Li Yunfei, the author of "The Shaver", passed away 20 years ago, and it is precisely for this reason that the value of the "Shaver" will remain high, and it will be placed on the oil painting exhibition shelves in the exhibition hall, rather than being placed aside.
It has been so long since the author Li Yunfei passed away, even if Li Yunfei's descendants are found, then it is estimated that no more information about the painting "The Shaver" can be found, so this art archive has become their only clue at this time.
Jun Chengzong and Judy agreed, after all, for them, it was common to find all kinds of information.
The three of them got out of the car and went straight to the archives, and without much communication with each other, they directly began to look up other information about "The Shaver".
However, just as Jun Chengzong was flipping through the information in front of him, Zhen Xuelan quietly came up.
"You ...... Do you often have to deal with ghosts in this industry? Zhen Xuelan absentmindedly looked at the data file next to her and asked Jun Chengzong.
"Huh?" As soon as Jun Chengzong entered the state of checking the information, the whole person was tense, and he could only hear what others were saying, to a large extent, the left ear went in and out of the right ear.
Seeing that Jun Chengzong didn't react, Zhen Xuelan thought that he hadn't heard clearly: "I said, in fact, you have a lot of opinions about these artworks, and there is no need to do these things that may cost you your own life." ”
Jun Chengzong put the book back on the cabinet in his hand, then picked up another one, and replied absentmindedly: "Otherwise, what should I do?" ”
It seems that Zhen Xuelan has been waiting for Jun Chengzong's answer for a long time.
"In this way, if you are interested, you can come to my auction house, it is definitely much stronger than what you are now," Zhen Xuelan said to Jun Chengzong very seriously, "I hope you can seriously consider it, if you want to come, the salary level I give you will definitely allow you to support three of you in this city." ”
It wasn't until Zhen Xuelan said this that Jun Chengzong began to notice what Zhen Xuelan said.
"Hmm......" Jun Chengzong closed the file in his hand and put it back on the bookshelf in front of him, "Thank you for your kindness, I will consider what you said in the future, but definitely not now." ”
Of course, Zhen Xuelan could hear that Jun Chengzong was just euphemistically rejecting the olive branch he threw out.
Zhen Xuelan frowned slightly, extremely puzzled: "Why?" You can't get anything for this job, but you may even get into trouble, what are you trying to do? ”
At this time, Judy walked over from the side, and suddenly saw Zhen Xuelan talking to Jun Chengzong, so she hurriedly took two steps back, hid behind the bookshelf on the side, and cautiously peeked at them.
"What's the picture......" When Jun Chengzong heard this, he suddenly seemed to wake up, and stopped the action of inquiring about the information in his hand.
Zhen Xuelan looked at Jun Chengzong very puzzled, the conditions she gave were unbelievable to many people, but Jun Chengzong refused without hesitation at this time, she couldn't figure it out.
Jun Chengzong put down the file in his hand, turned his head to face Zhen Xuelan, took a deep breath, and said: "Actually, everyone has their own ambitions, some people will want to make a lot of money and live a good life, but some people choose to pursue their dreams hungry, there are many of these two people, and they can't be generalized. ”
"I don't have the courage of those who are willing to get rich, nor are I as courageous as those who pursue their dreams," Jun Chengzong paused and continued, "The only thing that pushes me forward is probably the responsibility on my shoulders." ”
"To live, you have to stick to something that seems stupid to others." Jun Chengzong looked at Zhen Xuelan and said seriously.
Jun Chengzong said it very seriously, but in Zhen Xuelan's opinion, it was a little unbelievable.
A strong woman like her, who has been in the business world for so many years, wakes up every day and comes into contact with people in the world who are busy for profit.
Therefore, the appearance of Jun Chengzong is really difficult for her to understand.
"This ......" Zhen Xuelan didn't know what to say, just stood there in a daze.
However, at this time, Judy cleared her throat in time, walked up to them, and said to them, "I have found something, do you want to see it?" ”
