After Gu Jiangxin left, the old men in the room were all grinning from ear to ear.
"Young man, you're so smart."
"This can be considered a satirical painting. It's representative!"
"Hahaha, I'm looking forward to that person's face when he finds out!"
Everyone was smiling. Some of them even took photos of the painting and said that they wanted to take it back and study it carefully. Next time, they would also make a similar painting.
"Little Shishi, I'll ask my daughter to transfer the money to you when I get home. I don't need online banking."
Before the meeting ended, Gao Xiue didn't forget to talk to Gu Shishi about the money.
"There's no rush. We can do it later. This money, "Gu Shishi squinted her eyes and smiled." It's like a pie that fell from the sky. "
"Ha! Yes, yes, yes! "
The group of old men couldn't help but laugh.
On the way back to Gu Jiangxin's house, Director Zhou carefully unfolded the painting in the backseat and wanted to take a closer look.
However, his hand was quickly pressed down by Gu Jiangxin.
"Don't look at it. It's shaking in the car."
Gu Jiangxin was really afraid that Director Zhou would crush the painting.
"Yes, yes, yes. Old Gu, when will you send it to District Head Liu?"
Director Zhou didn't dare to take a closer look and quickly rolled it up.
"Do you want it framed first?"
"Of course." Gu Jiangxin directly asked the driver to drive to the framing shop. He couldn't wait for a moment. "I'll send it tomorrow."
He didn't want any unexpected changes to occur.
His cautious personality was well known to his subordinates.
That night, this 30 million painting was personally supervised by Gu Jiangxin and finished by the oldest framer.
Gu Shishi came up with a plan. She couldn't wait to see Gu Jiangxin's subsequent embarrassing live broadcast.
She came out of the Artists Association building and got into her car. She couldn't wait to hug Huo Sishen's arm and acted like a spoiled child. "Do you know who I bumped into just now? Did he do something big? "
Huo Sishen was slightly surprised. Looking at her smiling face, he reached out and touched her pink little face. "You bumped into Gu Jiangxin?"
Realizing that her forehead was a little cold, he asked the driver to turn up the heater in the car.
He took out two heating pads from his pocket and stuffed them into her hands.
"Ah, you saw it?"
Gu Shishi's hands warmed up and a thick blanket covered her legs. She glared at the man who seemed to know everything.
Huo Sishen unscrewed the lid of the thermos flask and handed it to her. "Your vice president called me."
If it weren't for the spy, he wouldn't have let her go up alone.
The second time Gu Jiangxin came to take the painting, he saw it and asked Si Yi to guard the entrance of the building, afraid that she would go overboard.
"Huh? Old Ou? "
"Yes. I bought the painting he auctioned off three years ago. I was the sponsor of his art exhibition a while back. "
It was as if he was talking about something as ordinary as the weather.
Gu Shishi facepalmed.
She almost forgot that he was a prodigal!
"Then you know everything?"
Huo Sishen smirked. "I don't know. I'm waiting for you to tell me."
Liar!
Gu Shishi snorted softly.
But two minutes later, she couldn't hold back her smugness anymore. She drank half a glass of warm water happily and waited for the car to start. She leaned into his arms and told him about how she heard Gu Jiangxin spouting nonsense and how she came up with the idea of using the painting to attack him.
"I wonder how angry the city leaders will be when they receive his gift. Hahahahaha!"
Gu Shishi was grinning from ear to ear, revealing her neat set of white teeth.
She had been holding it in in the association. Everyone praised her for her ingenuity, so she had to be humble and act like a literary artiste.
But the moment she got into the car, she couldn't hold it in anymore. She couldn't stop laughing and held her stomach as she laughed hysterically.
Huo Sishen was infected by her happiness at this moment, and his eyes were filled with joy.
"Ask Si Yi to find out. I'll tell you when I get back."
"Okay ~"
Gu Shishi leaned against his arm in satisfaction. She closed her eyes and basked in the sunlight that shone through the glass window.
But she didn't expect that she would have to wait for two days to get the news.
…
Gu Jiangxin was a smart man.
Sending a framed painting with three sides to District Head Liu's office in a grand manner was too obvious. Everyone on the street knew what he was trying to do.
But if he sent it to District Head Liu's house, the neighbors would inevitably see it and talk about it. Even if District Head Liu wanted to help him, he wouldn't dare to do anything.
So he thought hard for an entire day before he finally found a way to send the painting.
His young wife had an aunt who was a Chinese teacher. She was actually teaching at the high school that District Head Liu's daughter had just transferred to.
When Gu Jiangxin found out about this, he was overjoyed.
Lying in bed at night, he couldn't help but recall every step he took in the past year. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that God was taking care of him.
On his 55th birthday, he was regretting that he didn't have a son. Then, God sent him a son.
He was worried that his daughter was weak and couldn't marry into a rich family. Then, God sent him a healthy biological daughter.
He was worried that he wouldn't be able to give his son a proper status. Then, Zhang Wen took the initiative to ask for a divorce.
He was worried about how to send a gift to District Head Liu. Then, his new wife had an aunt who was a teacher …
This was simply the heavens helping him!
"Why did you get up? Did you go to the toilet? "
"Nothing."
Gu Jiangxin couldn't help but put on his coat at night. He got up and went to the study to look at the painting.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt lucky!
Although this painting was a gift to District Head Liu, he had asked the master for this painting. In other words, the master had painted it for Gu Jiangxin!
Purple Qi from the East, wealth and honor!
He was already middle-aged. He was definitely going to make a fortune again!
The more Gu Jiangxin thought about it, the more certain he was. When he returned to his room, he excitedly woke up his young wife who was sleeping soundly. He reminded her again about the arrangements for tomorrow and asked her aunt not to make any mistakes.
The next day, Gu Jiangxin went to work as usual. He only left for District Head Liu's daughter's school when he received a text message from the relative. He even deliberately put on a bloated black down jacket over his suit to disguise himself as a parent.
"I called him and asked him to pick up his daughter today. At the same time, we can talk face to face. Our office needs to spray the insect waist tonight, so everyone left after work at five o 'clock. I told the auntie that she will come back at six o 'clock to spray the insect. "
"District Head Liu said that he will be here at six o 'clock. Let me know before you leave. I will lock the office when I come back."
The moment Auntie Liu saw Gu Jiangxin, she warmly welcomed him into the house.
When Gu Jiangxin heard this, he felt that it was God's will.
Why didn't they kill the insects earlier or later? Why did it have to be when he was meeting with District Head Liu?
Usually, it would be weird to go anywhere with a painting tube. But in this school, there might be a Chinese painting series in the art class. Many children ran out with simple painting tubes.
When he came in, he did not attract any attention at all!
Gu Jiangxin could not help but feel more confident.
"Sorry to trouble you, third aunt."
He knew when to yield and when to stand tall. He immediately called out to the relative who was younger than him!
"This Spring Festival, you must come to my house for dinner."
He asked his wife to send a 100,000 yuan shopping card over. If it was successful, he would form a regular relationship with District Head Liu in the future. Then, he would need this relative who was a teacher to act as a go-between in the future.
As Gu Jiangxin thought about it, he carefully chose a table in the corner that could not be seen from outside the window and sat down in the office.
They did not have to wait for long. Soon, the noise in the school gradually dispersed.
Steady footsteps could be heard in the corridor.
"Liu Xue's father, it's right here. Please come in."
After bringing him in, the relative tactfully left and did not stay for long.
When District Head Liu walked in, he felt a little strange.
Along the way, the language teacher said something similar to what he said when he first came to attend the parent-teacher conference.
He thought that his daughter had made a mistake and the teacher wanted to talk to him in the office alone. But he did not expect her to bring him in and turn to leave.
District Head Liu was shocked. But he was someone who had been through a lot. He immediately calmed down and looked into the office.
After taking two steps forward, he saw a familiar face.
"District Head Liu, what a coincidence."
Gu Jiangxin stood up. His face was flushed as he shrewdly said the lines that he had thought of a long time ago.
"Today, I happened to pass by the school where my wife's third aunt is at, so I came in to take a look. She happens to be a language teacher, and I got a masterpiece, so I wanted to ask her to take a look at the words in it. "
"I didn't expect District Head Liu to be the parent of a student here. Haha, we are really fated."
He did not say that he had carefully arranged and waited. He only said that it was a chance encounter to avoid suspicion.
However, District Head Liu's face darkened.
When he walked in and recognized Gu Jiangxin, his face did not look too good.
Now that he heard this, his face darkened even more.
Even Chen's eldest aunt knew that Gu Jiangxin wanted to curry favor with him, let alone those who were watching his words and actions.
He had been on guard these few days. Not to mention art exhibitions, he did not even dare to go to the mall with his wife. Every day, he would go home after work and cancel all social engagements.
He did not want to be known as the new District Head for less than half a year. He did not want to be known for having dealings with notorious people, let alone accepting bribes!
District Head Liu did not want to have anything to do with Gu Jiangxin at all.
However, he did not expect that he had found out about his daughter's school and even bribed the school's teachers to look for him!
This was simply … bold and presumptuous!
He was most likely a repeat offender. The words that he said to cover up his actions were eloquent. It could be seen that he had used it countless times and was very skilled at it.
District Head Liu directly gave Gu Jiangxin and his real estate a big red cross in his heart!
It would be strange if there were no problems with the accounts!
"District Head Liu, do you want to sit for a while? My third aunt has something to do and will leave for a while. I heard that you are also very good at appreciating paintings and like to collect them. Do you want to take a look at them for me? "
Gu Jiangxin was full of smiles as he quietly unrolled the painting.
He had asked Secretary Zhang about District Head Liu's preferences.
If the new District Head was a seamless egg, Secretary Zhang would not easily spread the news.
Once there was a direction, Secretary Zhang would be able to accurately reveal which master's ink painting he admired. Wasn't this blatant hint?
Gu Jiangxin saw District Head Liu standing at the door and did not go near him. He carefully took a few steps forward with the painting.
He was also a man in his fifties, and his eyesight was not as good as before.
District Head Liu was standing with his back facing the light. The office lights were not switched on, and District Head Liu's expression was unclear.
District Head Liu lowered his voice as he walked. "Since ancient times, treasured swords were given to heroes."
District Head Liu narrowed his eyes and laughed angrily. "Oh? Then I want to see what kind of treasured sword it is. "
How many government officials had Gu Jiangxin done the same thing to before?!
Gu Jiangxin was even more confident when he heard this. "District Head, have you heard of 'Great Ink Painting'?"
District Head Liu was stunned.
Gu Jiangxin was really good at currying favor.
District Head Liu had personally asked President Huang Chuan to buy the paintings from last week's exhibition, but he was rejected.
District Head Liu's face turned solemn when he thought of the three paintings that had moved him. "Which master's work is it?"
Gu Jiangxin was also mixed up with Huang Chuan and the other artists?
Was money tempting people? This showed that the character of these masters was not good!
"Yes." But Gu Jiangxin felt that he had made the right bet when he saw District Head Liu's expression. "Please take a look at this painting, 'East'!"
He couldn't wait to unroll the painting completely.
"District Head Liu, I specially asked this master for this painting. She heard about your great achievements, so she specially wrote this painting, wishing the Liu District a bright future, standing alone at the top, purple qi from the east! "
He was still testing District Head Liu previously, but District Head Liu did not stop him at all.
It was obvious that both of them had a tacit understanding.
Gu Jiangxin did not hide his intentions anymore. Instead, he claimed credit for his request for the painting. He claimed that the master had painted for him instead of for District Head Liu.
District Head Liu was furious when he heard this.
He sneered and looked at the painting that was' made for him 'in the direction that Gu Jiangxin was pointing at.
When he saw it, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
"Look at this water. Isn't it a source of wealth and purple qi from the East?"
"Look at this man in the yellow robe. Isn't it a symbol of a diligent public official like District Head Liu …"
Gu Jiangxin explained patiently.
However, before he could finish his sentence, there was a loud bang. It was the sound of a palm slamming on the desk, interrupting him.
District Head Liu only took a glance at the bucket in the man's hand and the water stains on the ground. When he heard Gu Jiangxin say that this man was him, his face turned from black to green, and then from green to vermilion red!
He was so angry that his blood pressure jumped to his head. He could not help but slam the table!
The bamboo bucket that this man had picked up had water all over the ground. It had even dragged a small path on the road …
It was all for naught!
All his requests, wants, and thoughts had all gone down the drain. He could not grasp anything!
Was Gu Jiangxin giving him a gift or was he mocking him?!
Great!
He had rejected a few invitations to parties in the past few days and sent people to investigate Jingde Real Estate. Gu Jiangxin was using the excuse of giving him a gift to mock and threaten him!
Did he mean that if he continued to investigate his accounts, not only would he not find anything, but all his past achievements would also be for naught?
Was he threatening him so that he would not be able to sit in his current position?
District Head Liu's breathing became heavy.
Before he came, he had heard people say that this place was too deep and that he could not act rashly. He had to plan slowly.
When he heard that, he thought that it was just a matter of unspoken rules.
But he did not expect that someone would threaten him so openly!
"District Head Liu, look at this woman. Sigh, this master's brushwork is really amazing. It's beautiful and incomparably realistic."
Gu Jiangxin looked up and saw District Head Liu's excited expression. He was also puzzled.
It seemed that he really liked ink and wash paintings.
It was not enough to applaud and applaud. He even slammed the table.
He was still too young. He was not even forty years old and was not mature enough.
Gu Jiangxin snorted in his heart, but he still put on a smile on his face. "Look at the red peony in her hair bun. The freehand brushwork can even let people see the petal texture on her Chuchu clearly. It's really amazing!"
District Head Liu was about to explode!
"It's really a good peony … flower!"
He gritted his teeth when he said the last word.
This peony was illusory!
He could only vaguely see the woman's back in the painting.
The bright red flower hairpin was at the front of her hair bun on her forehead. It was drawn by the artist in the mirror.
A flower in the mirror!
District Head Liu gritted his teeth.
If it were not for the bamboo forest on both sides of the painting and the water stains on the ground, he would not have thought of drawing water with a bamboo basket.
If there was no bamboo basket to draw water, the woman in the mirror would also be a peerless beauty …
However, when these two images were put together, wasn't it mocking him that he could not grasp anything and that his efforts were in vain?!
He looked at the inscription next to the painting —
[Between the purple jade, a happy time]
The beautiful cursive script was unrestrained and unrestrained. However, the strokes were like sharp blades, and the tip of the sword was stabbing at District Head Liu who was looking at the painting!
District Head Liu's vision turned black, and his body almost swayed!
This inscription was taken from Su Shi's "Huanxi Sand", "Between the misty and dangerous buildings, a happy time is hard to come by since ancient times."
The tall buildings stood among the layers of mountains surrounded by clouds and mist. However, from ancient times until now, it was impossible to have both good times and good times.
This was something even his daughter knew. She had just memorized the words in her class a few days ago!
Using a happy scene to write sorrow!
It was the expression of frustration, sadness, and sadness!
"Good! Very good! "
District Head Liu gritted his teeth.
What a great gift that took a lot of thought!
What a grand threat!
"District Head Liu, it's good that you like it. I wish you good luck …"
Gu Jiangxin was full of smiles.
"Gu Jiangxin, the investigation of Jingde Real Estate was indeed ordered by me! However, I can tell you now that this investigation will not stop until we find out everything about you in Chuchu! "
District Head Liu spat in his face.
Gu Jiangxin's smile immediately froze on his face!
"What, what? Liu, District Head Liu? "
"You're on your own!"
District Head Liu snorted and turned to leave with an ashen face.
"It's a misunderstanding, District Head Liu. This is a misunderstanding! Didn't I invite you to appreciate the painting? "
Gu Jiangxin instantly broke out in cold sweat.
What was going on?
No!
Something was wrong!
However, he couldn't figure it out at the moment. Could it be that District Head Liu didn't want to accept the gift?
Or that he didn't want to accept the gift at his daughter's school?
"District Head Liu, I'll take the painting away. Don't be angry!"
District Head Liu ignored him and walked out of the door, sneering!
Gu Jiangxin really wanted to give this painting to him?
Hanging it on the wall so that he could threaten him every day?!
Damn it!
"District Head Liu!"
Gu Jiangxin didn't expect that District Head Liu had already sentenced him to a heavy punishment in his heart.
He didn't dare to chase after him. It wouldn't be good for anyone to see him pulling and tugging at the district head in the corridor outside. District Head Liu would hate him even more!
"What's wrong?!"
Gu Jiangxin also felt his blood boil.
That day, he could only take the painting home resentfully. His hands couldn't help but tremble along the way.
However, before he got out of the car and walked to the door, his young wife rushed out of the house in a hurry. "Old Gu, what's going on? My third aunt has been fired by the school. There's even a notice saying that she'll be stripped of her teaching qualifications. She'll never be able to teach again! "
Gu Jiangxin's body swayed. His vision turned black and he fell backward!
He finally understood that this gift … was given wrongly!
The anxiety along the way, accompanied by his wife's panicked screams, finally became a heavy weight that completely crushed him!
It wasn't until the third day that Gu Shishi received Second Si's message.
She was once again shaken to the core by this news.
Not long after, there was a faint rumor that Jing De Real Estate's accounts were not clean. Problems had been found, and there were some unknown funds that had been missing for the past few years.
After Gu Jiangxin's small stroke, he almost had a second cerebral infarction.
This thunderous development seemed to be something that no one had predicted.
Soon, there was a rumor in the circle that Gu Jiangxin had offended the higher-ups. The other party seemed to be determined to clean up his Gu Corporation!
Not only were Gu Jiangxin's real estate companies unlucky, but the remaining gaming and skincare industries were also implicated. Even the Huo Corporation, which had signed a five-year cooperation agreement with Gu Jiangxin, was patronized by the tax bureau.
Gu Jiangxin was hospitalized. Gu Wushuang and Huo Wencheng were said to have scolded him every day.
"I've been eating melons every day. I'm so full."
Gu Shishi didn't expect that her painting would cause such a big chain of events.
As the instigator, she patted her stomach and decided to hide her credit and reputation.
Huo Sishen couldn't help but hold her hand to stop her from doing something illegal. He held her waist and said, "Sit properly. Chuchu called you this morning and said you didn't answer."
Gu Shishi finally stopped laughing.
In the morning, she was gossiping with the old men of the association. She was so engrossed and focused that she didn't notice the other phone.
She then passed the pillow in her hand to the big boss, sat up straight, and called Chuchu back.
But before she could say a word, she was stunned by the scream on the other end of the phone.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Huo Chuchu must have turned into a groundhog.
Gu Shishi was so shocked that she almost threw the phone away.
Huo Sishen's face was cold. When the second scream sounded, he took the phone away.
"Huo Chuchu."
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped.
"Big Brother … Sister-in-law …"
Gu Shishi hurriedly took the phone back. "Mo Fang, what's the matter?"
Huo Sishen snorted coldly. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the girl's inelegant behavior.
Gu Shishi patted his thigh comfortingly and told him not to be so calculative.
But the next second, the voice from the other end of the phone made her hand tremble.
"Sister-in-law … I-I think I'm going to inherit the family business."
Huo Chuchu was scolded by Huo Sishen so she lowered her voice. But still, one could clearly hear the excitement in her voice that she couldn't hide.
Pffft — Gu Shishi almost pinched Huo Sishen's thigh hard.
"Ah!?"
The image of this young girl as a rebellious and unvalued little girl was still vivid in her mind.
"What's going on? What happened? "
Gu Shishi was instantly energized.
Before one melon stopped, another melon arose!
She felt as if she had won the lottery and won the first prize of gossip.
She glanced at Huo Sishen. With his approval, she put the call on speaker mode.
"My second brother used to use the excuse of working overtime to go to Gu Wushuang's place every day. My mom turned a blind eye and waited for him to come back!"
"But … I didn't expect him to be so stupid. For the sake of Gu Wushuang, that scheming Black Lotus, he gave away our family's interests and signed a five-year business VAM with Gu Jiangxin!"
"Look, Gu Jiangxin was unlucky this time and implicated the Huo family. My mom was so angry that she scolded my second brother. But my second brother stubbornly said that it was all her fault for not agreeing to the marriage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been led by the nose by Gu Jiangxin! "
"My mom smashed her favorite blue and white porcelain in the house. She said that there will be a shareholders' meeting tomorrow to discuss my brother's mistakes. She asked him to give up his position and let me … be the general manager."
"Well … didn't I learn from PA Meng a while ago and successfully signed a long-term contract with hf? My second brother, mom, and the company's executives were all shocked?"
Gu Shishi was shocked to hear this.
In the end, she only came to one conclusion.
"I really admire myself."
She had killed so many birds with one arrow! She was convinced by her own awesomeness every day!
Huo Chuchu didn't understand what she meant, but he was still too excited and too nervous. He wanted to learn from his brother and whether he should give up his position to him.
Gu Shishi took the opportunity to invite him for dinner.
In the end, at six o 'clock sharp.
Huo Chuchu entered the house and saw Gu Shishi, who seemed to be wearing maternity clothes and had a slightly bulging belly. He screamed like a groundhog again.
"Ah!"
Gu Shishi also let out a cry.
No wonder she felt like she had forgotten something.
She seemed to have forgotten to tell everyone … that she was going to have a baby …
