The middle-aged businessman's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Countless eyes looked at the brush drawing on the table. The drawing on it was the dragon that Ye Chen had taught Mengmeng to draw earlier.
They saw with their own eyes the appearance of the dragon in the painting. It flew into the sky and transformed into a dragon gate, attracting tens of thousands of fishes!
It could be said that this was a peerless masterpiece!
For a moment, countless people's eyes were burning with passion!
"Mr. Ye, I'm the chairman of Wanfeng Group, Wan Guohao!"
The middle-aged wealthy businessman was afraid that Ye Chen would not agree to it, so he proceeded to say, "If you're willing to part with it, I'm willing to pay 100 million USD to buy this painting of yours!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into an uproar.
Spending 100 million USD just to buy a painting?
Did he have too much money but nowhere to spend it?
Many people gasped at first, thinking that Wan Guohao had gone mad, but then they came to their senses.
Zhang Daqian's paintings could be auctioned for close to 200 million HNY, and the painting in front of him was even more magical. It was normal for it to be worth 100 million USD, right?
Even Wu Wenshan was shocked.
Because the highest auction price of his works was only about 80 million yuan.
Without waiting for the crowd to react, another luxuriously dressed middle-aged woman stood out and said with a smile, "Mr. Ye, I am Huo Enna from the Embroidery Group. I am willing to pay 150 million US dollars to buy your painting!"
"I'm Liu Zhi from Tianyuan Group. I'm willing to pay 200 million USD …"
"I'm willing to pay 250 million USD …"
"Don't fight with me, I'll f * cking fight whoever fights with me!"
"…"
At that moment, countless bosses fought to offer a price to buy Ye Chen's painting. They looked like street vendors at the market, completely losing their image.
Upon seeing that, Cang Shuxue and Li Yongmin were completely stunned.
They had never expected that a painting would be sold at a sky-high price of more than 200 million dollars, and it was in US dollars. If converted into HNY, that would be more than a billion dollars!
At that moment, Wu Wenshan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Mr. Ye, I'm willing to exchange all my assets for this painting of yours!"
As his voice fell, the scene was dead silent!
Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief!
I thought I heard wrongly!
The Art Saint, Wu Wenshan, was willing to exchange his entire fortune for a painting?
How much property did Wu Wenshan have?
No one knew!
But any of his paintings could be sold at a sky-high price of seventy to eighty million!
Facing everyone's shock, Wu Wenshan's expression remained the same. Instead, he looked at Ye Chen rather nervously, afraid that Ye Chen would reject him.
He had been studying painting all his life.
After what happened earlier, he realized that he might have some achievements, but he was still far away from the end of the Art Dao. Therefore, in order to seek a breakthrough, he was willing to give up everything he had as long as Ye Chen was interested in it, let alone all his assets.
At that moment, countless eyes were on Ye Chen.
With such conditions from Wu Wenshan, no one would reject it, right?
Cang Shuxue could not stop pulling the corner of Ye Chen's shirt, signaling him to agree.
Ye Chen smiled calmly as the people stared at him. "It's useless to ask me. My daughter drew this, so I'll have to ask for her opinion."
Wu Wenshan's face twitched slightly, but he still looked at the cute little girl in Ye Chen's embrace. He looked like a child asking for candy.
The little fellow widened her eyes and said in a daze, "Daddy, are they going to buy our paintings?"
"That's right, my dear daughter. Your paintings are worth a lot of money now," Ye Chen smiled warmly, his eyes filled with love.
Cang Shuxue reminded softly, "Mengmeng, agree now!"
Even Little Fatty winked at her from time to time.
However, after the little girl blinked, she suddenly pouted and said, "No, I don't want to sell it!"
Everyone almost fell to the ground.
Then, they heard the little girl mumble, "This is a painting that daddy and I drew together. It's very precious. Moreover, I don't lack money. Mommy runs a company, and daddy even gave me a company!"
"You old men are so bad. You bullied daddy and me earlier, and now you want to bully me for being stupid!
Also, I drew this for Xiaohei. I want to bring it back to show it. It'll definitely be very happy. "
Everyone was speechless.
Had the father and daughter gone mad?
Master Wu was worth at least a billion!
They actually rejected him!
Wu Wenshan refused, "Who's Xiaohei?"
"It's just a snake!" Ye Chen smiled lightly.
Wu Wenshan was speechless.
In the end, he could only sigh softly, "Forget it. It seems like I'm not fated to have such a treasure!"
He seemed to have thought of something as he spoke to this point. He looked at Ye Chen and said, "Mr. Ye, to express my apology, I'll rerank your daughter's competition after we return. She'll definitely win first place!"
"Master Wu, the Zhao family …" Someone hesitated.
After all, he had already promised to give first place to the Zhao family. If he made any changes now, wouldn't it be a slap to the Zhao family's face?
Wu Wenshan looked fearful, "I'll explain to the Zhao family later!"
"That's for the best. I'll go back with you guys!"
Ye Chen looked satisfied. He brought his daughter here to get first place this time. The reason why he caused such a huge commotion was for his daughter. Naturally, he would not give up halfway.
Unexpectedly, Wu Wenshan's expression changed as soon as he finished speaking, "No, Mr. Ye, you can't go back with us. You asked Zhao Yuanliang to kneel earlier. The Zhao family must be on their way. You should leave now!"
"That's right, Mr. Ye. The Zhao family is a wealthy family in Jinling, and they have some connections in Beijing. Even Master Wu has to be wary of them."
A big shot from the Jinling art world said, "You made Zhao Yuanliang kneel earlier, which is equivalent to slapping the Zhao family in the face. The Zhao family will definitely not let this go. You guys go back first. We'll send you the award later!"
"That's right, Mr. Ye. Let's go back first!"
Cang Shuxue and Li Yongmin started persuading him too.
However, Ye Chen smiled lightly, "This person ignored the rules of the competition and offended me. It's only right for me to teach him a lesson. So what if the Zhao family is unhappy? I don't care about a mere Zhao family! "
Wu Wenshan wanted to persuade him again, "Mr. Ye, you …"
"Alright, I'd like to see how terrifying this Zhao family is!" Ye Chen interrupted him. He carried his daughter and turned around to walk to Jinling Gallery.
"Sigh, Mr. Ye is too confident. The Zhao family's power is beyond his imagination!" Wu Wenshan sighed.
Li Yongmin said nervously, "Master Wu, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do?"
Wu Wenshan shook his head and forced a smile, "Mr. Ye is unwilling to leave. I can only do this myself. I hope that the Zhao family can turn a big problem into a small one for my sake!"
…
At the same time, in Jinling Gallery!
The Zhao family's Second Young Master, Zhao Yuanliang, was still in the same position as when Ye Chen left. He was sprawled on the ground. Someone tried to help him up, but he realized that he could not do anything no matter how hard he tried. It was as if he was rooted to the ground.
"This damned brat! What the hell did he do to me?"
Zhao Yuanliang's face was filled with resentment. He could not wait to tear Ye Chen into pieces. Subsequently, he looked at his nephew, Zhao Yang, who was next to him, "Xiaoyang, what did the family say?"
"Second Uncle, E-First Uncle is already on his way. He said he'll be here in half an hour!" The seven-year-old Zhao Yang said, still in shock.
"Twenty minutes have passed. My brother should be here soon!"
Zhao Yuanliang's face immediately revealed a smug expression, "Damn brat, just you wait. My brother is here. When the time comes, I'll let you know what it means to wish for death!"
He knew his brother very well.
He couldn't understand him better. Although he looked like a spring breeze on the outside, he was the most shrewd in the entire Zhao Family. He was also the best at hiding. Even he, the devil incarnate, felt like there was a thorn in his back when he faced his eldest brother!
"Second Uncle, you must kill that idiot!"
A ruthless glint flashed across the seven-year-old Zhao Yang's eyes, "And that little girl, I want to use her as a target to throw darts at!
"Alright, we'll torture them one by one!"
Zhao Yuanliang grinned sinisterly.
Just as they were talking, a person rushed in from outside. As he walked, he shouted, "Young Master Zhao, M-Master Wu and the others are back. T-That brat is back too!"
Zhao Yuanliang was so excited that he almost shouted, "Hahaha, there's a way out for you, but you chose to barge into hell instead!"
