Chapter 361 Who is the master of conspiracy and intrigue? In the next two or three days, Chen Zhuo enjoyed the leisurely winter vacation life that a college student should have, while also promoting the development of some things. The first thing I did was to get the paintings by Master Gao Jianfu from Professor Guan. Professor Guan is also a man of her words. Although she has never been to the memorial hall, she should have heard that Chen Zhe did clean it diligently for a week. Therefore, she not only readily gave Gao Jianfu's "Bird and Beast Painting" to Chen Zhuo, but also, after thinking for a moment, gave him a contact number when Chen Zhuo asked her to visit Gao Jianfu's son in person. The rarest painting by Master Gao Jianfu is not the [Bird and Animal Painting], but the [Flower Painting]. In fact, whether it is "bird and animal pictures" or "flower pictures", they are just a general concept and only represent a certain category. Just like the painting presented by Professor Guan, it belongs to the category of [Bird and Animal Paintings], but its name is "Pine Eagle Preying". The general content is that a majestic bald eagle stands on the treetop, stretching its neck, with a sinister look, looking left and right waiting for its prey to appear. Chen Zhe recently "studied" at the memorial hall, and after deliberate research and inquiry, he realized that the market value of Gao Jianfu's [Bird and Animal Paintings] is indeed not as good as that of [Flower Paintings]. It can even be said that the gap is huge.

For example, the price of "Pine Eagle Prey" entering the auction venue is only tens of thousands of dollars, or even less. However, flower paintings such as "Fishing Village on the Pearl River", "Moon over Willow Branches", "Peony Mirror", etc., often start at tens or even hundreds of millions. Moreover, it is relatively rare on the market. Chen Zhuo didn't quite understand and humbly asked Professor Guan for advice. Guan Yongyi explained that a painter's works have different artistic values ​​due to different experiences in different periods. Many of Gao Jianfu's "Bird and Beast Paintings" were created when he was young, when he was full of energy and was at the age of being competitive. The bald eagle in "Pine Eagle Hunting" has a piercing gaze and sharp claws full of murderous intent. It seems lifelike, but in fact there is not much artistic conception reflected. The reason why it can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars is because of the reputation of the founder of the Lingnan School of Painting. In addition, it is easier to paint when you are young, and you can produce several paintings a day. As more things exist in the world, they become less rare. [Flower paintings] became Gao Jianfu's favorite after middle age. At that time, he experienced the changes in the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and the new China. Not only did he become more mature in his thinking, but his skills also became more perfect. The only drawback is that my energy has decreased. It takes a long time to paint a picture, and one even has to take a break for a few days in the middle. This also leads to the fact that works in the category of "Flower Paintings" are quite rare, and almost all of them are in the hands of Gao Jianfu's direct descendants. With this explanation, Chen Zhe understood that this was a typical "Su Dongpo-style life". The poems written when one is in high spirits can only be considered excellent, and many of them are not included in the compulsory textbooks for junior and senior high schools. However, it was only after being demoted that he was able to write classic works such as "Life is like a journey, and I am a traveler" in the midst of wind and rain. Chen Zhuo learned the reason for the price difference of the paintings, and also got the contact information of Gao Jianfu's son Gao Lijie. He was also ready to sell "Pine Eagle Preying" to Professor Guan at a discount. Although it is not that rare and may be available from other people, it does save me a lot of time. However, Professor Guan waved his hand and refused.

"No matter what your motivation is, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Lingnan School of Painting for providing lunch for the staff on duty at the memorial hall. Besides, it can give peace of mind to the deceased. It would be tacky to charge for it." Professor Guan said seriously. "really……" Chen Zhuo thought that Professor Guan must be related to the memorial hall, and she might even be the real investor behind the scenes. After all, the district cultural bureau would not be so generous as to pay for the renovation of a Chinese painter. They would rather receive some foreign artists to demonstrate their "advanced vision" to keep pace with the international standards. However, Chen Zhe was still somewhat touched and felt guilty for the kindness beneath the old lady's coldness and harshness. He lied that he had a senior brother named Zheng Wenlong, who was in the late stage of cancer and his last wish in life was to own a painting by Master Gao Jianfu. It’s a pity that Professor Guan didn’t have [flower pictures], only [bird and animal pictures], so there were various subsequent developments. But now I have got Gao Lijie's contact information, which gives me some clues and I also know the direction to work towards. "If I can get Senior Brother Zheng and get the large loan I want..." Chen promised secretly that he would find a way to expand the scale and influence of the Gao Jianfu Cultural Memorial Hall, which would be regarded as a kind of reward. Next, Chen Zhuo called Wan Xulin and gave him Gao Lijie’s phone number. Wan Xulin was previously afraid of this young but shrewd boss. However, after arriving in Guangzhou, I saw Chen Zhe working hard to find a hospital and a doctor for Wan Yuchan, and he also paid all the medical expenses. He even asked his sister to come and accompany Wan Yuchan occasionally. So Wan Xulin did as he said, if he could exchange his life for Wan Yuchan's health and a lifetime of good life, he would not hesitate at all. Therefore, during this trip to Macau, no matter how great the dangers and difficulties ahead, he will definitely complete his boss's task. "My original intention is to trade if I can." Chen Zhuo said, "Try to buy them with money first. If the other party is not happy, you can think of a way to get one of these paintings back for me." Chen Zhuo was very polite, used the word "please", and told Wan Xulin about several of Gao Jianfu's more famous paintings in the category of "Flower Paintings". Wan Xulin kept these in mind and did four things these days. The first is to take time to be with my daughter; The second is to continue to collect and organize evidence of Tang Quan's misappropriation of the company's interests; The third is the time it takes to wait for the Hong Kong and Macau Pass to be mailed; The fourth is to think about what tricks to use to fool Gao Lijie and make him hand over the painting. Because I started preparing early, I feel more confident. More importantly, when he went out to "do things" before, he was always worried about Wan Yuchan who was in the hospital. This time, I felt particularly stable and reassured, as if I knew my daughter would be well taken care of. What’s also different from the past is that Wan Xulin used to be able to get something for nothing, which was quite difficult.

This time, Chen Zhuo directly gave him 100,000 yuan as activity funds. Wan Xulin didn't want it at first, but Chen Zhuo still forced it on him. In fact, Wan Xulin also knew that with this 100,000 yuan, things would go more smoothly. However, because he had not achieved any results before, Wan Xulin felt that accepting the offer might affect his boss's recognition of his abilities. In fact, Chen Zhuo didn't consider this issue at all. He just wanted to get the painting that Zheng Wenlong wanted as soon as possible, and then, as a junior apprentice of the middle school, with the help of the school leaders, deepen his relationship with this senior brother, the vice president. In fact, we can see from here the way Chen does business. On the one hand, we work diligently on projects, just like the Zhongda Learning Network, constantly adjusting and improving according to the market, striving to bring the best experience to users; On the other hand, he developed his own "agents". In fact, the school was Chen Zhuo’s first agent. He gave back the benefits to the school in a reasonable and legal way, which won the favor and appreciation of the school leaders. Therefore, the school leaders also actively helped to introduce some "big shots" to Chen Zhuo. Perhaps the school sees this as simply helping students solve some difficulties in their development; after all, it's just arranging a meal. However, CUHK is at the vice-ministerial level, and others may not think so simply. They may think that since the school leaders are helping to lobby, I have to give them this face! The level of CUHK is sufficient to guarantee Chen Zhuo's political needs in the next three to five years. Then a bundle of interests is formed unconsciously, which is also the strategy of those entrepreneurs who really do big business in reality. Any company that pays over 100 million yuan in taxes definitely does not act alone; it must represent or be tied to a large force. If someone says that he has assets worth hundreds of millions, he is always fighting alone. This can only be a plot in a novel, and the author is a novice who has no social experience and life experience at all and does not understand the important role that "relationships" play in development. …… Wan Xulin went to Macau soon after receiving the task, but before leaving, he handed a document to Chen Zhuo, indicating that Tang Quan could be sent to prison for three years. According to Article 266 of the Criminal Law, anyone who defrauds a company's property in a large amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or control. Chen flipped through it casually. It was nothing more than that Tang Quan was greedy by nature, and with Wan Xulin's instigation, the two of them colluded to commit commercial crimes by falsifying accounts and using fake seals to embezzle the company's profits. However, Wan Xulin’s identity, background and name were all fake, and in the end, the only thing they could find was Tang Quan. Chen didn't take it seriously at first. After all, it was just a precaution, so he casually threw it in the office drawer and asked Yu Xian to accompany him to take the driving test. The "driver's license" issue has been delayed from December until now, and now it can finally be resolved. He had passed subjects one and two, and only had subject three left. However, this was not difficult for the experienced driver Chen Zhuo. He practiced for half a day and then went to the examination room, and finally passed it in one try. Now, all you have to do is wait for your driver’s license to be issued. It was at this time that Yu Xian and Chen talked about the tenth birthday of their "sister" who was not related to them by blood, and asked Director Chen if he wanted to go together. "Tang Xiangyue's daughter's tenth birthday?" Chen Zhuo thought it was a bit absurd: "Why do you want to go there?" Yu Xian doesn't lie, so he didn't hide it: "My dad hopes that I can have a better relationship with his wife, so that his life will be easier, and then... I agreed."

Yu Xian looked at the test cars coming and going in the driving school. Although his tone was relaxed, there was still a hint of sadness in the corners of his eyes. Chen's eyes moved and he could probably understand some of Yu Baibai's thoughts. My mother has passed away and my father is one of the few relatives I have left. Even though there is a rift between father and daughter because of the remarriage, I definitely hope that Lao Yu can be happy and blessed. Although sometimes when I think of my mother, my nose may still feel a little sour. "That's fine, I'll just eat with you." Chen Zhuo gently stroked Yu Babao's long hair and agreed in a gentle voice. Yu Xian wanted Chen Zhu to know more about his family situation. In fact, Yu Xiaoliang had already revealed some things to Chen Zhu. He and his current wife Tang Xiangyue are colleagues in a property branch, so the couple's social circle probably has little intersection with Song Shiwei's family. At that time, I can just be a little more low-key, wear a hat, play with my phone, and leave after dinner. There shouldn't be any problem. "It's just that it's a bit strange to hold a birthday party on Chinese New Year." Chen smiled and said, "Tang Xiangyue is not from Guangzhou, so why did her relatives come to participate?" "Seems to be……" Yu Xian recalled the conversation that night and said, "Her family is planning to hold two events, one in Guangzhou and one in her hometown. The Guangzhou event will mainly invite friends and colleagues, and she will go back to her hometown after the Chinese New Year to invite relatives." "Good guy!" Chen thought that this was a bit of an ugly way of eating. He had to hold two parties for his tenth birthday. It felt like they were just using this as an excuse to collect a lot of money. This is consistent with my impression of Tang Xiangyue. Greedy, stingy, selfish and unreasonable. In fact, Chen Zhuo has always had a doubt in his heart. From Yu Xian, he can tell that his real mother-in-law should be a beautiful woman who is generous, tough and has a strong personality. How could Lao Yu, who has lived with a wife like this for more than ten years, still fall in love with someone like Tang Xiangyue? Thinking of Yu Xiaoliang's weak character, Chen Zhuo wondered if there was any unspeakable secret here. However, these are all Chen Zhuo's guesses. It is embarrassing to ask directly about such things. He can only observe step by step. While waiting to attend the birthday party, two more things happened related to Chen Zhuo. The first thing was a junior high school class reunion. Bian Xiaoliu called and invited Chen several times, but Chen turned it down every time. Wang Changhua didn't plan to go at first, but later she felt too bored at home, so she ran over again. After I came back, I complained to Chen about it crazily. It seemed that my junior high school classmates had changed a lot now. The boys wore AJs, the girls had pierced ears, and they were all discussing Korean boy bands and girl bands. Bian Xiaoliu is still the focus of the class, and boys all like to surround her and show their courtesy. "The most shocking thing is that Bian Xiaoliu kept praising you." Wang Changhua curled her lips and said, "It sounds like she's your girlfriend to others." Chen smiled and suddenly asked, "Has Yang Jinxiang gone?"

"No." Wang Changhua shook her head: "Yang Jinxiang didn't go. This time it was organized by the deputy monitor. His mother is also a dog to lick Bian Xiaoliu..." The second thing is that the first branch of (Zhongda) Anju Real Estate Brokerage Co., Ltd. in Tiyu West has finally been renovated. It was done quietly without attracting much attention. At the same time, office chairs and desktop computers were purchased one by one, and recruitment advertisements were also quietly put out. Just waiting for the official opening after the New Year. February 2008, 2, was the night before Tang Xiangyue’s daughter’s tenth birthday. In a small two-room apartment in the old and dilapidated Mingyue Community, a man asked Tang Xiangyue: "Where is Yu Xiaoliang?" "I instructed him to go to the hotel to coordinate tomorrow's banquet." Tang Xiangyue's sharp and thin voice came out: "Don't worry, I won't be back for a while." "The money for this banquet..." The man just started to speak. Tang Xiangyue interrupted him: "Of course he paid for it, do you want me to pay for it?" "He thought he had quietly given 4 yuan to Yu Xian, and no one knew about it. But in fact, I knew everything!" Tang Xiangyue sneered: "Brother, at tomorrow's birthday party, I will force her to hand over the house in Zhusigang!" ······ (And tonight.) (End of this chapter)
