Chapter 21: Buying an Art Museum
Two days have passed since the murder of the Flag House, and when Fujiwara Chiba and the others got off the boat, the two daughters of Flag Summere and Akie Akie took the time to secretly learn the idioms from Fujiwara Chiba again, and then reluctantly let Fujiwara Chiba leave, and agreed to visit them when they had time.
After eating breakfast, Fujiwara Chiba sat leisurely on the sofa with a magazine, drinking milk tea while flipping through the magazine.
It's really cool to have a day like this! After a day of classes yesterday, today is a holiday, and every day is either spent in the holiday or on the way to the holiday.
Xiaolan, who was sitting opposite Fujiwara Chiba, after reading the newspaper in his hand, came to Fujiwara Chiba mysteriously to do it.
"Chiba! Let's go see this together"!
Xiaolan took Fujiwara Chiba's arm and pointed to the headline article in the newspaper and said.
"Armor that moves? Xiaolan! Aren't you most afraid of this? Why are you still trying to get up"?
When Fujiwara Chiba saw the headline in the newspaper, the figure of the old curator came to mind, an old man who gave his life for art.
In the previous life in the post bar,There are mixed reviews for the approach of Director Ochiai.,Some people think that the old curator shouldn't make a rash move for a few paintings.,Some people are very supportive of Director Ochiai's approach.,After all, in their opinion,,The real boss is too arrogant.。
"We don't go to see it at night, I still have a lot of courage during the day, besides, isn't there still you"!
Xiaolan doesn't know when she will unconsciously make some intimate moves towards Fujiwara Chiba, just like today, holding Fujiwara Chiba's arm, it was impossible to happen before.
"Alright! Xiaolan, you have said so, if I don't promise you that my conscience can't get by, then when will we leave"?
Xiaolan's request Fujiwara Chiba would be a fool if he refused, this kind of thing that can cultivate feelings, Fujiwara Chiba hopes that the more the better.
"Then let's go now! It's nothing to do anyway."
Xiaolan said with a smile after hearing Fujiwara Chiba's agreement.
"Then let's go"!
"Sakurako! Wait for Yingli to come back, you can tell her that Xiaolan and I are going to the art museum."
After Fujiwara Chiba finished speaking, he didn't forget to tell Yonehara Sakurako.
"Okay young master! I made a note of it"!
Sakurako Yonehara replied.
........
Medieval Art Museum of Rice Flower City.
After Fujiwara Chiba parked the car, as soon as he got out of the car, Xiaolan took the initiative to take Fujiwara Chiba's arm, and the two walked into the art museum talking and laughing.
There are not many visitors in the huge exhibition hall of the museum, and it is still the time of the golden weekend, and there are few people, so it is no wonder that it will not be able to operate.
"Wow! Chiba! Look at the color of this painting, it's so beautiful!"
Ran pulled Chiba Fujiwara to a painting with several cherubs, and Ran fell in love with the painting at a glance.
Fujiwara Chiba looked at the painting in front of him, as if he was reading a book from heaven, he didn't appreciate the oil painting a little, he still liked to read the illustrations in a novel.
"Miss and this gentleman! Do you guys like this painting very much"?
Just when Xiaolan and Fujiwara Chiba were standing still in the same place, the old director of the art museum came over and asked amiably.
"Huh? Grandpa, are you"?
Xiaolan heard someone behind her asking, turned around suspiciously, and saw an old man standing behind them.
"Contemptible Ochi! I'm the curator here."
Director Ochiai should have received aristocratic etiquette, and it can be seen from the tone and actions of his speech that the other party is a very gentlemanly person.
"It's Mr. Curator! Can you tell me the name of the painting and what the author is trying to say?"
Xiaolan's tone was full of respect and love.
"The name of this painting is 'Leisurely Angel', it is one of Picasso's early works, although it is not very famous, but the warmth and transparency expressed in the painting make me like this painting very much."
When Director Ochiai explained the origin of this painting, the love in his eyes could not be concealed, it seems that he really loves these works, no wonder he killed that Manaka in order to keep these works.
"I love all the works here, but unfortunately I don't see them again after a while."
After Director Ochiai finished speaking, his face was lonely and sad.
"Grandpa Curator! Why do you say that"?
Xiaolan asked inexplicably.
Just as Director Ochiai was about to explain, an arrogant voice sounded.
"Old man Ochiai! There are still no tourists here"!
"Machu.... Boss Manaka! Why are you here"?
Seeing the visitor, Director Ochiai's face was a little ugly.
"It's going to be closed in ten days, what do you think I'm doing here? Of course, I brought the designer over to take a look at it first."
A man named Manaka led a few designers in the exhibition hall and began to make comparisons.
"Ahh Is this going to be closed? It's a pity".
When Xiaolan heard that this place was going to be closed soon, she said with a regretful face.
"Yes! It is expected to be demolished next month, and I heard that a hotel will be built here."
After Director Ochiai finished speaking, he sighed.
"Do you like it here? Xiaolan"!
Fujiwara Chiba saw Xiaolan, who was in a good mood, and when he heard that the art museum was going to be demolished, the regret on his face made Fujiwara Chiba's heart move.
"Yes! When you have nothing to do, you will feel that all the worries in your heart will be swept away."
Xiaolan sighed as she looked at the other paintings in the exhibition hall.
"Since Xiaolan you like it so much, then we can buy it!"
Fujiwara Chiba looked at Xiaolan with a doting face.
"Buy the X2"?
Xiaolan and Director Ochiai asked in surprise after hearing Fujiwara Chiba's words.
"Yes! Buy it, and leave it to the director of Ochiai to take care of it, and visit it whenever you want to see it."
Hearing Fujiwara Chiba's words, Xiaolan didn't doubt his words at all, and believed that with Fujiwara Chiba's strength, it was still very simple to buy this place.
"I wonder what this gentleman does"?
Director Ochiai was very skeptical that Fujiwara Chiba was going to buy this place, after all, the other party looked very young, and buying this place was different from buying something in a mall.
If you want to buy an art museum, you don't know if you have to have financial resources and strength, otherwise why would the boss called Zhenzhong sell it.
"Director Ochiai! Let's not talk about the rest, let's talk to the boss named Manaka first."
Fujiwara Chiba didn't tell Ochiai his identity, but only asked Ochiai to take him to that Manaka.
"Oh well! Boss Manaka should be in the office now, let's go find him"!
After Director Ochiai finished speaking, he walked in front and led the way for the two.
"Dangdang ......"!
The three of them came to the door of the office, and Director Ochiai knocked on the office door.
"Come in"!
Manaka's voice came from inside.
After hearing the consent of Boss Manaka, Director Ochiai pushed open the door of the office and led Fujiwara Chiba and Xiaolan inside.
"Ochiai? What are you doing again? I said I wouldn't agree to your request, the museum must be demolished, and what are the two of them doing?"
After seeing that it was Ochiai who came in, he thought that the other party had asked him to give up his request to transform the museum into a hotel, and said impatiently.
"Boss Manaka! I'm not here for that, it's for this gentleman to talk to you about something."
Director Ochiai didn't care about Manaka's impatience, he had planned to send this demon to hell today, but the appearance of Fujiwara Chiba made him postpone the plan for the time being, and if Fujiwara Chiba couldn't get the boss of Manaka, he would continue to implement the plan in his heart.
"Looking for me? What can happen to these two little kids? I'm very busy, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, you should leave me quickly, or I will call the security guard to invite you out."
Boss Manaka didn't hide his thoughts at all, he didn't think he had anything to talk about with Fujiwara Chiba.
"Really! Introduce yourself, contemptible Fujiwara Chiba".
"I don't want to know what your name is! Hurry up and let me out, my tolerance is limited, otherwise don't blame me for letting the security guard ask you out."
Boss Manaka didn't want to pay attention to Fujiwara Chiba at all, and he couldn't put it in his eyes when he was young.
"Huh! Boss Manaka! Don't talk so much, otherwise you won't even have a chance to regret it."
After Fujiwara Chiba finished speaking, regardless of the face of the boss of Manaka, he pulled Xiaolan to sit down on the sofa.
"Haha......! Who do you think you are? Dare to talk to me like this, it seems that you are determined not to go out, right? Then don't blame me for letting the security guard kick you out."
When Boss Manaka heard Fujiwara Chiba's words, his face was full of disdain.
"Boss Manaka! I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, I'm just going to say it straight, I want to buy the ownership of this museum, you can make a price"!
Fujiwara Chiba wants to end the matter here quickly, so he doesn't come around the bend in the middle of the truth.
"Haha! What did you say? You said you were going to buy it, and I heard you right! Besides, why should I sell it to you, I finally took it here, how can I sell it to you".
After listening to Fujiwara Chiba's words, Boss Manaka couldn't help but laugh, he didn't expect the other party to be even more crazy than him.
"I called you the real boss, I want to talk to you calmly, since you are so ignorant, then don't blame me for using some special means."
Anyway, this Manaka is not a good thing, Fujiwara Chiba bullied him, and there is no burden in his heart.
"Oh! Then I'll see what you do with me."
The boss of Manaka has no intention of driving people away, he wants to see how the other party deals with him.
Fujiwara Chiba saw that the other party did not eat oil and salt, so he had to take out his mobile phone and make a call.
"Hey! Is it Kimura? I'm Chiba".
The phone was connected, said Chiba Fujiwara.
"Ahh It's Master Chiba! I don't know what the young master ordered me to call"?
Kimura is the head of the investment department of Fujiwara Company, and he was originally in a meeting with his subordinates, but when he received a call from Fujiwara Chiba, he was a little surprised, after all, this was the first time he received a call from the other party.
"Help me find out what the Rice Flower Medieval Art Museum is now under that company, and buy him for me."
Fujiwara Chiba didn't talk nonsense, and directly instructed that with their family's financial resources, it would be easy to acquire a small company.
"Ahh Okay young master! Give me half an hour".
Although Kimura doesn't understand why Fujiwara Chiba wants to buy someone else's company, as a subordinate, he must focus on the boss's orders.
"Wait! Half an hour is very fast".
Fujiwara Chiba said with a relaxed face after hanging up the phone.
"You.... Who the hell are you"?
At this time, the boss of Manaka had already sensed that something was wrong, and he did not suspect what Fujiwara Chiba said on the phone, after all, if it was fake, it would soon be able to debunk it.
"Hmmm! Didn't I tell you! My name is Chiba Fujiwara! Who do you say I am"?
Fujiwara Chiba looked at Manaka, who was already a little panicked, and said with a smile.
"Fujiwara Chiba? Fujiwara? What do you have to do with the Fujiwara chaebol"?
When I heard Fujiwara Chiba's words, I thought of the other party's name, and at this time, the answer was already coming out.
"It's the kind of relationship you think, my father's name is Fujiwara Takato, now you should know it!"
As soon as Fujiwara Chiba's words fell, Boss Manaka's mobile phone rang.
"Hey! What's the matter"?
Looking at the call from the company secretary, the boss panicked and felt that something big was going to happen to him.
Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, the secretary said in an anxious tone from the other side: "The boss is not good!" Just now, someone from the tax bureau came to the company and removed all the company's account books, and the court people sealed all the company's things, what should the boss do"!
Hearing the information from the microphone, Boss Manaka suddenly slumped in the boss's chair, he knew that his company was going to end, after all, the company's accounts could see the problem when he checked it, and now even the people behind him didn't dare to protect him.
In the face of a behemoth like Fujiwara Company, the people behind the boss of Manaka will not offend Fujiwara chaebol for him at all.
"Master Fujiwara! Please let me go, if you want this museum, I will give it to you, just please let me go."
Boss Manaka knows that the only hope now is Fujiwara Chiba sitting across from him, and Boss Manaka is no longer the person he saw just now, and he is like a pug to please Fujiwara Chiba.
Everything that happened in the office, Director Ochiai saw it, he didn't expect that the people he knew casually today had such great power, and he could make Manaka, who was a big boss, wagging his tail like a dog and begging for mercy.
"It's not impossible to let you go, life can be left for you, and your company won't think about it anymore."
After Fujiwara Chiba finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Manaka who wagged his tail and begged for mercy, but looked at Director Ochiai, who was still in shock.
"Director Ochiai! In the future, the museum will be handed over to you."
"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Fujiwara! I really don't know how to thank you"!
Tears of happiness flowed from the corners of Ochiai's eyes.
"It's okay! I'm also relieved that the museum will be handed over to you, after all, you love everything here.
"Alright! Now that the matter here is settled, then Xiaolan and I will get up to visit the other works in the exhibition hall, and Director Ochiai, you can also go and get busy with your business"!
"That's right! Director Ochiai! It's up to you to fire whoever you want, and don't let some black sheep destroy the museum's exhibits."
After Fujiwara Chiba finished speaking, he walked out of the office with Xiaolan.
