[Hello, I happened to see your paintings in the exhibition. It was as if I was enlightened and reborn. I sincerely want to be friends with you …]
When Gu Jiangxin sent a message, Gu Shishi realized for the first time that her father was quite cultured.
He was pretentious!
She admired it and took it as a warning. It could be considered prenatal education for the baby.
Gu Shishi didn't reply, but Gu Jiangxin, who was experienced, sent a few messages in a row.
She didn't know where he had copied the ink and wash painting from, but he was admiring the words and eloquently expressed the painter's love for the landscape. He also said that her red-crowned cranes were like the reincarnation of the Song Dynasty's emperor. They were free clouds and wild cranes, noble and unparalleled in the world, and naturally had the aura of an emperor.
When Gu Shishi saw it, she clutched her stomach and almost laughed out loud.
Emperor Huizong of Song didn't do his job properly, but there was no doubt that he was a master in art. He was a master of flowers and birds.
He had his own style. His strokes were delicate, and even the feathers of the birds looked like silk. He was elegant and noble.
However, he was an expert in fine brushwork.
As for her painting of the Immortal Crane About to Take Flight, it was a freehand painting technique. It had nothing to do with Emperor Huizong's painting!
Gu Jiangxin was very confident in the notes he had checked. He didn't know that he had used it wrongly.
[Master, are you willing to sell these three paintings? I'm really looking forward to it. Now, I go to the museum to admire them every day after work. I even take photos. I look at them dozens of times before I go to bed at night.]
[Master, you're a hero, but I still want to drink and chat with you and admire the paintings together.]
[These three works can be passed down from generation to generation.]
Gu Jiangxin's flattery had a different taste.
Unfortunately, Gu Shishi didn't fall for it at all.
She quietly watched him flatter her for three days, as if he was thirsty for the paintings. On the fourth day, she slowly replied to him with two words.
'I'm not selling.'
That day, Gu Jiangxin, who was holding a headquarters meeting in the conference room, almost crushed the screen of his phone!
The old blood in his chest was ready to move.
[Master, please consider it? Is there really no room for negotiation?]
[You might not know what kind of person I am in Shen City … I really want to ask you for advice!]
He directly sent his name on the Forbes list and his total assets to Ink Brush!
Gu Shishi naturally pretended not to see anything.
Gu Jiangxin was extremely depressed and could only choose to give up!
He was also a ruthless person. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would grab it tightly. But when he realized that there was no chance of winning, he would immediately withdraw without a trace of hesitation.
He immediately threw his phone aside and thought of another way!
Could it be that District Head Liu only wanted to draw and nothing else would work?
Even if he liked elegant art, with his salary as a district head, how could he afford to buy one of their exhibits?!
Gu Jiangxin narrowed his eyes and clasped his hands together.
If that didn't work, there was still Secretary Zhang and the higher-ups of the Liu District …
When Gu Jiangxin was thinking about his next move, he would never have dreamed that District Head Liu would go to the Chen family.
"Aunt."
District Head Liu respectfully gave a gift to Old Madam Chen.
"It's your favorite Mountain Village Rose Tea."
"Ha, Liu Qin, you still remember. How many years has it been?"
Old Madam Chen laughed so hard that wrinkles appeared on her face.
"I will never forget how you took care of me and my mother back then."
District Head Liu did not dare to slack off.
If Gu Jiangxin knew about this, he would probably break down.
District Head Liu, Liu Qin's mother, went to the countryside as an educated youth in her early years. Coincidentally, she went to the market and met Old Madam Chen, who was living in a nearby town at that time.
At that time, Old Madam Chen was raising her children alone in Old Master Chen's hometown. It was when she was lonely that she met Liu Qin's mother. At first, they were trading cotton from farmers. Later, because of Liu Qin's mother's extraordinary conversational skills, they became good friends.
Liu Qin was still young at that time. Although he played with the other children in the Chen family, he did not have many memories after that.
However, after Old Madam Chen returned to Shen Cheng, she still took care of his family.
Later, Liu Qin's mother returned to her hometown in Nanjing and received help from Old Madam Chen.
District Head Liu was transferred to Shen Cheng this time. On one hand, it was because of his achievements. On the other hand, it was also to let his mother, who had arthritis in recent years, come to Shen Cheng for surgery.
"I should have come to visit you a few years ago."
District Head Liu did not dare to put on airs in front of Old Madam Chen.
"But my mother said that you have to take care of us too much. So, before I become successful, I don't dare to visit you."
Old Madam Chen was about to cry. "She's so twisted! Where is she? "
District Head Liu smiled. "I'm here first. I'll prepare all the aspects of the house and bring her here. I'll book a ticket for her by next Wednesday. "
Old Madam Chen glared at him. "What are you busy with? Let her stay here first! Sleep in the same room as me! "
District Head Liu could only laugh dryly and say nothing.
After all, the Chen family was a wealthy businessman. He walked the path of working for the common people.
If he was not careful, people would say that he colluded with the businessmen.
In addition, his mother's joints often hurt and it was inconvenient for her to move around. Most of the time, she stayed at home.
Not to mention Shen Cheng, even going out of the house was rare.
In the past few years, after he graduated from university and entered the government service, the frequency of contact between the two families decreased a lot.
After a few words, District Head Liu delivered the greeting gift and was about to get up.
He was very tactful. He knew that Old Madam Chen liked to chat with his mother. They had no common topics.
But when he put down the teacup, he was stopped by Old Madam Chen.
"Liu Qin, I'm considered your elder, right? There are some things that I want to talk to you about even if you didn't come today. "
Old Madam Chen's voice suddenly lowered.
District Head Liu paused. "Of course, if you're not happy with me, you can teach me a lesson."
He did not have any memories of his childhood. But according to his mother, if it were not for Old Madam Chen, he would not even have the chance to go to university. At such a good age, he still had to work in the countryside!
The Chen family could be said to be their benefactor.
Old Madam Chen nodded slowly. "I remember that your mother told me that you were transferred here last week. But why, I heard about good things about you in the group recently? "
"Good things?"
District Head Liu's hand trembled and his heart tightened.
He quickly recalled the events of the past few days.
It shouldn't be!
Even if he was occasionally muddle-headed, he would never do anything sneaky. In the past few days, those who wanted to send gifts or inquire about information, he did not reply to any of them and rejected them at the door!
"What did you hear?"
He really did not know.
Old Madam Chen sipped her tea slowly. "I saw that you like to draw on your WeChat Moments. When I turned around, I saw that the Gu family was also asking for a drawing."
District Head Liu frowned.
WeChat Moments was a very sensitive thing, especially for government officials.
It was not appropriate for him to post about eating, drinking, and having fun. It was even more inappropriate for him to post about his interests and hobbies. There were always people who wanted to curry favor and thought that he was hinting at the direction of their gifts!
"Aunt, when I post on my WeChat Moments, only my family members can see it."
In order to avoid suspicion, it was uncomfortable to not say anything.
So he posted that only his family members could see it. He even set it to only be seen for three days.
"The Gu family? Jingde Real Estate? Gu Jiangxin? "
But District Head Liu reacted quickly.
Old Madam Chen smiled. "Anyway, you have to be careful. You can't accept gifts from some people."
District Head Liu was stunned for a moment. Then, he thought of Secretary Zhang.
At that time, only a few people were present when he liked the works in the art exhibition.
The only person who could contact Gu Jiangxin was Secretary Zhang!
Sure enough, there was no need to deliberately be suspicious of others. Some people would give themselves away!
District Head Liu suddenly understood.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything foolish."
Old Madam Chen nodded gently. "There are some things that you don't know because you just came here."
District Head Liu was stunned.
Old Madam Chen touched her reading glasses. "This year, the Gu family is famous in the circle. First, he abandoned his biological daughter. Then, he divorced his wife. Then … Sigh, I'm old. I don't understand the affairs of you young people anymore. I can't even say anything! However, people of different paths cannot make plans together. Liu Qin, this is all I can say. "
District Head Liu was shocked. "CEO Gu?"
He heard from Secretary Zhang that CEO Gu was very conscientious. Even if he did not get along with his wife, he waited for his daughter to recover from the surgery before going through the divorce procedures.
Old Madam Chen immediately waved her hand. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Hurry and leave."
District Head Liu heard half of it. How could he just let it go?
But it was not appropriate to ask Old Madam Chen again. He immediately stood up. "Aunt, I'll leave first. Take care of yourself. I'll bring my mother to visit you next week. "
After that, he hurriedly left. In the car, he asked a few industry bosses.
CEO Gu's deeds were not a secret.
It was just that Liu Qin was new and was not clear about the situation.
He asked casually and immediately found out that CEO Gu had forced his biological daughter to marry someone else. He also had an illegitimate child with a mistress and made his wife leave the marriage with nothing.
District Head Liu's face darkened even before he reached home.
Such a person still wanted to give him a gift?
This was totally inconsiderate! Were they trying to slander him and pull him down from his high horse?
District Head Liu went to work the next day and quietly checked the report of Jingde Real Estate.
He focused on Jingde Real Estate for the sample survey that needed to be done in the bidding list.
The character of this company's boss was very questionable!
Gu Jiangxin could not have predicted this no matter how much he calculated.
He had originally given up on asking for the painting, but the next day, the project team from the district came to check the accounts.
Participating in a project in the city required the accounts to be kept separate and ready for inspection.
But for a private company's accounts … Anyone who checked would know that there was no clean water.
His heart pounded.
"Is that ink painting from the Art Association? Let's go now. "
The previous art exhibition was organized by the city's Ink Painting Association.
The monk could run away, but the temple could not.
Gu Jiangxin gritted his teeth. He did not believe in heresy.
Could it be that there was no painter better than the ink painting in the entire association?
He did not care about anything else. He would buy a landscape painting of similar quality and send it to District Head Liu. He would smoothly pass the inspection first!
He went personally. This time, he did not even trust his assistant. He even brought along CEO Zhou from the company's marketing department.
CEO Zhou liked to go to auction venues in recent years and loved landscape paintings the most. He spoke clearly and logically.
"I've bought one of President Huang Chuan's paintings. I know him! Old Gu, leave it to me! "
CEO Zhou patted his chest loudly as soon as he entered the association's entrance.
Gu Jiangxin was immediately relieved. "Okay, give me some advice later."
Five minutes later …
Gu Shishi, who was released today to participate in the association's weekly gathering, was sitting on a chair, drinking tea and listening to the seniors quarrel.
But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, she would suddenly see a vaguely familiar old face emerge from the staircase at the corner of the building. She suddenly opened her mouth wide!
