After a few people walked into the private room, they heard that the auction below had begun.

The first lot is a lotus flower, a lotus flower without any color.

There is no signature on it, and there is a sad and gloomy feeling on the whole picture.

"It's really surprising that there are still Mr. Lu's paintings." Cheng Xiaoxiao often participates in art exhibitions abroad and knows these paintings very well.

Gu Jitao turned his head to look at her in surprise: "Do you know this painter?" ”

Lu Zhizhen can only be regarded as a niche painter, not famous, but her works have a strong and unique style, and few people know her.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had a strong interest in this person's paintings at foreign art exhibitions, and searched for this person's information on the Internet, and even tried her best to meet this person.

Looking at Gu Jitao's appearance, he should be quite interested in this painter.

"Yes, Mr. Lu's works are absurd, grotesque, and full of sadness, but they inadvertently show a vigorous and upward force, like an eagle dormant in the dark, which may remain silent or soar into the sky."

She expressed her opinion on the artist's work.

When Gu Jitao heard this, a trace of appreciation crossed his eyes.

"I'm just like you think, I collect her paintings because I like the tenacity hidden under her pessimism."

Gu Jitao may have remembered his youth, and the smile in his eyes was no longer alienated and hypocritical, but a little more sincere.

He turned his head to look at Gu Qi: "Say, you two have joined forces to fool my old man, what is the matter?" ”

"Grandpa, it turns out that you already knew." Gu Qi pursed his lips.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was not surprised at all by Gu Jitao's suspicions, after all, grandsons are so smart, let alone grandfathers.

Gu Jitao looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao: "Do you want to explore the new area?" Although he was asking her, there was affirmation in his tone.

As a perennial high-ranking person, the momentum on his body is self-evident, and Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't dare to look directly into Gu Jitao's eyes for a while.

"Grandpa, this is my good friend, I've been worrying about this recently, you just finished a meeting with that group of people, you must know which area is the new area." Gu Qi walked up to him and acted like a child.

Gu Jitao doesn't hate this kid's intimacy, since he was a child, he loved Gu Qi the most.

He looked unhappy on his face, but there was not much turmoil in his eyes: "You bastard boy, you unite with others to deceive your grandfather and me, you owe a beating!" ”

"Grandpa, I knew you were the best, so you helped this time." Gu Qi pleaded.

Gu Jitao really had no choice but to take his grandson aside: "I'll talk about it when the auction is over." ”

This sentence did not explicitly refuse, which proved that Gu Jitao was willing to give her some guidance.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu." Cheng Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with joy, she didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

The price of the painting just now had already been called 13 million, and the atmosphere in the auction hall reached a climax for a while.

Because of what the three of them just spoke, the painting was auctioned off by a man for this price after the countdown.

Gu Jitao sighed: "It's a pity. ”

He came here today for that painting......

"Mr. Gu, I met Master Lu a few years ago, and I have her treasured paintings in my hand, if you don't dislike it, I will send it to you tomorrow."

Cheng Xiaoxiao could see that Gu Jitao liked Lu Zhizhen's paintings very much, and he would definitely not refuse to give him gifts as he liked.

Sure enough, Gu Jitao didn't hesitate after hearing this, and agreed directly: "Okay." ”

He doesn't hate this little girl, she's smart and knows how to use it to her advantage.

No matter where such a person is placed, he is a pearl.

After the dinner, Gu Qi sent people to the car, and at the moment when Cheng Xiaoxiao was about to close the door and close the door, he said, "Cheng Xiaoxiao, you are very powerful." ”

In the past, those who went to their house to curry favor with the old man either couldn't even see anyone or were kicked out.

Cheng Xiaoxiao is also the first person who not only was not kicked out, but also was recognized by the old man.

Originally, Gu Qi thought that a down-and-out daughter whose family was bankrupt was not worthy of a business genius like Shang Yan at all.

It must have been Cheng Xiaoxiao who used some unsavory chips and means.

But after getting along today, he knows that this woman's ability is much higher than he imagined.

"Gu Qi, thank you for today's matter." Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't say much to him, and after giving the driver a look, she quickly closed the door without dragging her feet at all.

Looking at the vehicle that was heading away, Gu Qi laughed: "Interesting, really interesting." ”

A prodigal like Shang Yan may really be planted on Cheng Xiaoxiao in the future.

Back at the merchant's mansion, Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to go to the bedroom to take a shower and change the dress on her body.

Back in the bedroom, when she was ready to rest, she heard a heavy voice behind her.

"Coming back? How are things going? ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao's whole body trembled, and when she saw Shang Yan behind her, she immediately stopped taking off her clothes: "Mr. Shang, do you know that people can scare people to death?" ”

She tugged at the corners of her mouth and sat down in a chair next to her.

"So cowardly, is it a shame to do too much, afraid that someone will come to the door to retaliate?" Shang Yan approached the woman in front of him step by step.

The oppressive aura made Cheng Xiaoxiao take a step back, but the smile on her face did not decrease: "Mr. Shang, even if people want to retaliate against the first one, they will take revenge on you, who made you my nominal husband." ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Shang Yan stunned for a moment, walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and the smile on his face became more and more proud.

Shang Yan didn't say anything joking anymore and went straight to the point.

"You have already met Gu Jitao, find out the new area as soon as possible, there are still five days before the auction."

When the time comes, several major families will pass, and their goal is to take the new district.

Because of this matter, those people have also looked for Gu Jitao many times, but they have all been turned away without exception, and only Cheng Xiaoxiao succeeded.

When Cheng Xiaoxiao heard this, she knew that Shang Yan was letting people spy on her, and she suddenly became angry: "You actually sent someone to spy on me?" ”

"I'm concerned about my wife." Shang Yan's tone of voice was not painful, it seemed that for him, knowing Cheng Xiaoxiao's every move was what it should be.

Cheng Xiaoxiao knew Shang Yan's desire to control people, so she didn't dwell too much on this matter.

She turned on her computer and flipped through a report: "This is the floor price of the major companies I surveyed. ”

Although everyone didn't know where the new district was, everyone's goal was the same, and they prepared a large amount of money to take the new district.

"You're smart." Shang Yan didn't expect her to investigate these in advance.
