Falling in Love with a Rich Godfather 17
Tao Wan finished playing a song and walked out of the inner room. Wei Shicheng introduced him, "This is Uncle, this is Big Cousin."
"Nice to meet you, Uncle, Big Cousin," Tao Wan greeted them and walked to Wei Shicheng and sat down.
"How did you draw 'Penglai Blissful'?" Old Man Liu asked about the painting with the excuse of talking about the land. He didn't hide his real purpose at all.
"It's a picture from my dream. I had the same dream for many years. After fantasizing about it, I drew 'Penglai Blissful'."
"Talent is God's favor, and miracles are God's gift." Old Man Liu sighed.
"My father sat in the exhibition hall for three days and three nights just to look at the painting. He was almost sent to the hospital. As his children, we are very worried about his health. " Liu Wangyang was hinting to Wei Shicheng that they were all relatives. For the sake of his father's health, he should give him face.
Wei Shicheng smiled, but in his heart, he was thinking, "I talked to you about the land several times before. Why didn't you sell it to me for the sake of relatives?"
But that land was the Liu family's ancestral land. He went to talk to them, and the old man didn't kick him out, which was already giving him face.
"I'm not going to beat around the bush. I'll tell you directly. I'm here for that painting. You can name a price. As long as I can afford it, I will definitely give it to you," Old Man Liu said.
"Father …" Liu Wangyang couldn't help but want to persuade him. Although the painting was good, it needed a certain amount of money to keep it. If he took out half of his family's property to buy the painting, the painting would belong to someone else sooner or later.
Old Man Liu stared at him, and Liu Wangyang immediately shut up. Although Old Man Liu didn't care about the company, he still had the final say in the Liu family.
Tao Wan and Wei Shicheng looked at each other and said, "I heard that Uncle also likes to play chess?"
Wei Shicheng felt helpless in his heart and did not try to stop him.
"That's right. You want to play a round with me?" Old Man Liu asked.
"I do have such thoughts. I used to play chess with the Chess Saint occasionally. I heard that uncle's skill level is above that of the Chess Saint, so out of curiosity, I want to play a game with uncle."
"If you want to play chess with me, you can come and find me at any time in the future. I'll play with you until you're satisfied. Now, let's talk about the painting. "
"It's precisely because I wanted to talk to Uncle about the painting that I decided to talk about chess first." Tao Wan said.
"What do you mean?"
"There are too many people who want to buy the painting. I can't always hide and not show my face. Uncle, why don't you play a game with me? If I lose, I'll give the painting to you for free. This way, no one will come to me in the future. If I win, uncle, you can give me that piece of land. With this as a precedent, anyone who wants to buy a painting from me in the future will have to use valuable items as collateral. If I lose, I'll keep the item. "
Old Man Liu did not expect him to say this. He looked at him with a surprised expression, "Don't tell me you think that you can win against me just because you played chess with the Chess Saint a few times? If I had the time to play chess, the title of the Chess Saint would not have been given to Su Yongfu. "
"That's why I said that if I lose, I'll give the painting to you for free. I'll be able to relax." Tao Wan said with a smile.
"Father, I think this is a good idea." Liu Wangyang was very anxious. He hoped that his father would quickly agree. If they did not seize such a good opportunity, it would be a pity if they regretted it.
Old Man Liu looked at the two of them for a while. He could tell that Wei Shicheng did not want to agree. However, the painting belonged to Tao Wan. The two of them were not married yet, so he could not make the decision. Looking at Tao Wan's confident expression, he felt that he was really a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers. He had not suffered any setbacks at such a young age, so he really thought that he was omnipotent.
Generally speaking, he was not willing to take advantage of such an opportunity. It would make him seem like an old man with no moral character. He was cheating a child. However, he really wanted that painting. If he did not take this opportunity to get it, it would be even more difficult to convince them later. Therefore, he thought that it was fine. He would let him learn a lesson. Young people always had to suffer some losses in order to truly grow up.
"Then it's settled. I'll get someone to arrange it. When the time comes, you can just come and participate." Old Man Liu said.
Since both sides had reached an agreement, Old Man Liu did not stay any longer. After sitting for a while, he left.
Old Man Liu was in a hurry. The matter of the two of them using the painting as a bet to play chess was soon made public.
The public was curious and puzzled. What kind of trick was this? Using chess to bet on winning or losing, and such a big bet at that, was never done before.
Those who did not know Old Man Liu's chess skills felt that Tao Wan's chess skills were not low. Since he was able to compete with the Chess Saint, the possibility of him winning was still higher. And those who knew Old Man Liu's chess skills could not help but feel worried for Tao Wan. They thought that the stunning work was about to change owners.
On the day of the game, not only did a lot of media come, but there were also many political and business celebrities and famous people from all walks of life.
After "Penglai of Bliss" shocked the world, Tao Wan had been hiding and did not show up. Now that he finally showed up in public, he used the painting as a bet to compete with others to win or lose. This attracted a lot of attention.
The land owned by the Liu family was also something that many companies wanted to get, but they could not. Therefore, there were a lot of people from the business world who came.
The game was held in the largest hotel in the city. In a hall that could fit a few hundred chairs, all the seats were reserved by the rich. The ordinary people could only watch through the live broadcast.
This hotel was owned by Eagle Vision Group. However, the process was arranged by Old Man Liu. Wei Shicheng did not interfere.
Tao Wan was resting in the hotel lounge. As long as he was alone with Wei Shicheng, if they did not do anything else, they would definitely hug each other and whisper sweet nothings to each other. However, he felt that it was quite normal. Weren't people in love like this?
Tao Wan sat on Wei Shicheng's lap. His pants were thrown aside. He was supported by Wei Shicheng as his waist moved up and down.
Tao Wan raised his head and breathed heavily with his mouth half open. His face was full of confusion.
The sudden sound of the doorbell startled Tao Wan. His body could not help but tense up.
Wei Shicheng groaned and immediately hugged him to comfort him. He ignored the doorbell and turned around to press Tao Wan under his body.
…
After washing up in the bathroom, Tao Wan walked out to put on his pants. He complained to Wei Shicheng, "I told you not to get it in there. It's very troublesome to clean it up. Seriously."
Wei Shicheng lifted his chin and kissed his slightly pouty lips. Then, he went to open the door. He wanted to ask what was going on. He had already told him not to disturb him, but he still rang the doorbell.
Tao Wan put on his pants and walked into the bathroom. His face was red and hot. He had to rinse it with cold water. Otherwise, he would not be able to go out to meet people.
Wei Shicheng went out for a while and came back. Tao Wan looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
"A phone call from abroad. It's not a big deal." Wei Shicheng said.
"If you really have something urgent, go do it first. I'll go back after playing chess with uncle." Tao Wan said.
"It's okay. It's not too late to deal with it tomorrow." Wei Shicheng certainly had to stay for such an important occasion.
Tao Wan could only let him be.
When it was time, Tao Wan and Wei Shicheng walked out of the lounge together and went to the already arranged hall.
All the seats in the hall were already filled. There were hundreds of seats, but it did not seem crowded. There was a little distance between each seat so that everyone could watch comfortably.
On the wall at the front, there was a big screen. The people below could watch the chess game through the screen. This scale was not smaller than the highest level Go competition at all.
Old Man Liu also walked out of the lounge and walked in the direction of the hall. Liu Wangyang, who was walking behind him, suddenly saw Liu Xiujie standing on the side. He stopped and asked in confusion, "Xiujie? Why didn't you go to school? You have classes today, right? "
"Uncle." Liu Xiujie lowered his eyes and said, "I'm here to watch grandpa play."
"Then follow me." Liu Wangyang hurriedly finished and quickened his pace to catch up with him.
When Tao Wan was about to reach the hall, he saw Su Yongfu waiting there. He walked over and greeted him, "Grandpa Su."
Su Yongfu looked at Tao Wan and could not help but sigh with a worried face. He could not help but ask, "Have you played chess with Old Man Liu before?"
"No." Tao Wan replied, "This is the first time."
Su Yongfu sighed again and shook his head. "It's too late to say anything now. Do your best."
"I will do my best." Tao Wan smiled and walked into the hall.
After Tao Wan and Old Man Liu sat on either side of the square table, both sides' lawyers took out the contract and placed it in front of them. This was a contract in duplicate. No matter who lost, it was useless to regret. The court could enforce the contract.
After signing the contract in front of everyone, the staff placed the chessboard on the table.
After the official start, the black and white pieces were placed on the chessboard. After the troops were arranged, whose strategy was better? Was it a trap or an opportunity? Was it an opportunity or was it an ambush? It was not only a competition of IQ, but also of the mastery of the art of war and the use of tactics.
On this small chessboard, it was as if there were thousands of troops and horses in formation. The people holding the pieces were the strategists who arranged the troops. They commanded their own soldiers to lead the soldiers to attack the enemy's camp. When the enemy attacked, whether they could defend to the death and not be defeated reflected the thousands of years of profound culture of a country.
Although there were some in the audience who did not understand Go at all and were purely there to watch the fun. But most of the people still understood Go. Looking at the two people who did not give in to each other, there was a layout that made people want to clap their hands and praise, and there was also a battle between attack and defense that made people nervous.
If it were not for the fact that the venue had to be quiet and could not be discussed, there would definitely be people who could not help but want to discuss and praise with the people next to them.
Wei Shicheng sat in the front row. Not only could he see the game on the screen, but he could also clearly see Tao Wan's face. His eyes could not move away from Tao Wan's face.
Two hours later, Tao Wan took away the opponent's piece for the last time. His serious face finally revealed a smile. He looked up at Old Man Liu and said, "I won this game. I admit it."
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Old Man Liu's forehead. He stared at the chessboard with wide eyes. He could not believe that he had lost.
The host announced that Tao Wan had won.
After Tao Wan stood up, the audience was stunned.
After a long time of shock, the audience came back to their senses and began to fiercely discuss the game. Just now, the game had been reversed again and again. It was simply frightening.
Wei Shicheng smiled. He had long known that Tao Wan's Go skills were very high, but he did not expect it to be to this extent.
Tao Wan had to go for an interview, so he left first and went to the interview area at the back.
Old Man Liu supported himself on the table and wanted to stand up, but his legs went soft and he fell back.
"Father!" Liu Wangyang hurried to support him.
"Just a little bit more. I almost won!" Old Man Liu was very unwilling. He clenched his fist and hammered the table. He did not expect that he would lose, and lose so unwillingly.
Liu Wangyang's expression was not very good. That piece of ancestral land was coveted by many people. The Liu family had guarded it for so many years. Even in their dreams, they did not expect that it would be given away in vain.
However, it had been a foregone conclusion. He could only comfort Old Man Liu and ask him not to be too angry. Otherwise, it would not be worth it if his body was damaged.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Su, Mr. Su?"
"Ah? What's wrong? " Su Yongfu had been staring at the screen in a daze. His eyes were full of disbelief. He was called by the people next to him for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"What do you think of this game?"
The people around Su Yongfu looked at him, waiting for him to make a comment. However, Su Yongfu did not speak for a long time. It was said that the onlooker sees the game more clearly than the player involved. Today, as a bystander, he watched Tao Wan play chess with a master who was better than him. Only then did he know that Tao Wan lost to him on purpose.
The game in front of him was the same. It seemed that the fight was quite fierce, and the two players were evenly matched. However, from the perspective of a third party, he found that everything was under his control. It was up to him to decide whether he would win or lose.
Su Yongfu's hands could not help trembling. He thought that this was not the level of a genius, but a monster.
