"How did you draw that 'Penglai Blissful' painting?" Old Man Liu asked about the painting with the excuse of talking about the land. He didn't hide his real purpose.
"It's a scene from my dream. I had the same dream for many years. After fantasizing, I drew 'Penglai Blissful'."
"Talent is God's favor. 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 all 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 some face.
Wei Shicheng smiled, but in his heart, he was thinking, "I've talked to you about the land several times. Why didn't you sell it to me for the sake of our relatives?"
But that land had been passed down from generation to generation in the Liu family. When he talked to them, the old man didn't kick him out, which was already giving him face.
"I won't 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'll 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 required a certain amount of money to keep it. If he took out half of his family fortune 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 then said, "I heard that uncle also likes to play chess?"
Wei Shicheng was helpless, but he didn't stop him.
"That's right. You want to play a game with me?" Old Man Liu asked.
"Yes, I do. I used to play chess with the Chess Saint. I heard that uncle is better than 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 to me anytime 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 will 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 first. If I don't win, I will keep the item. "
Old Man Liu didn't expect him to say that. He looked at him in surprise and said, "Don't tell me you think you can beat me just because you've played chess with the Chess Saint a few times? If not for the fact that I am not in the mood to compete, the title of Chess Sage would not have been given to Su Yongfu. "
"That's why I said that if I lose, I'll give you the painting for free. That way, I'll be able to relax." Tao Wan said with a smile.
"Father, I think this is a good idea." Liu Wangyang was extremely anxious. He hoped that his father would quickly agree. If they didn't grasp 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 didn't want to agree. However, the painting belonged to Tao Wan. The two of them weren't married yet, so he couldn't make the decision. Looking at Tao Wan's confident look, he felt that he was really a newborn calf that wasn't afraid of tigers. He hadn't suffered any setbacks at such a young age, so he really thought that he was invincible.
Generally speaking, he didn't want to take advantage of someone like this. It would make him seem like an old man with no moral character. He was trying to cheat a child. However, he really wanted that painting. If he didn't 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 have someone arrange it. You can just come and participate when the time comes." Old Man Liu said.
Since the two sides had reached an agreement, Old Man Liu didn't 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 wager to play Go was soon made public.
The public was curious and puzzled. What kind of trick was this? Using Go as a wager to win or lose, and such a big one at that. This had never happened before.
Those who didn't know Old Man Liu's Go skills felt that Tao Wan's Go skills weren't low. Since he was able to compete with the Go Saint, his chances of winning were higher. And those who knew Old Man Liu's Go skills couldn't help but feel worried for Tao Wan. They thought that the stunning painting was about to change owners.
On the day of the competition, 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. Now that he finally made a public appearance, he used the painting as a wager to compete in Go. This attracted a lot of attention.
The land owned by the Liu family was also something that many companies wanted to acquire, but they couldn't. So there were a lot of people from the business world who came.
The competition was held in the biggest hotel in the city. In a hall that could fit a few hundred chairs, all the seats were reserved by the rich. Ordinary people could only watch through the live broadcast.
This hotel was owned by Eagle Vision Group, but the process was arranged by Old Man Liu. Wei Shicheng didn't interfere.
Tao Wan was resting in the hotel lounge. As long as he was alone with Wei Shicheng, if they didn't do anything else, they would definitely hug each other and whisper sweet nothings to each other. But he felt that it was quite normal. Weren't people in love like this?
Tao Wan straddled Wei Shicheng's legs. His pants were thrown aside. He was supported by Wei Shicheng and 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 scared Tao Wan. His body couldn't help but tighten.
Wei Shicheng groaned and immediately hugged him to comfort him. He ignored the doorbell and turned over to press Tao Wan under his body.
…
After washing up in the bathroom, Tao Wan came out and put on his pants. He complained to Wei Shicheng, "I told you not to get it in there. It's troublesome to clean it up."
Wei Shicheng lifted his chin and kissed his slightly pouty lips. Then, he went to open the door and was about 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 couldn't 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 call from abroad. It's not a big deal." Wei Shicheng said.
"If you really have something urgent, go and 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 obviously 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 didn't 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. The scale of the game was not smaller than the highest level of Go competition.
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.
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 couldn't help but sigh with a worried expression. He couldn't help but ask, "Have you played chess with Mr. 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. Just do your best."
"I'll do my best." Tao Wan smiled and walked into the hall.
Tao Wan and Mr. Liu sat on opposite sides of the square table. Both sides' lawyers took out the contracts and placed them in front of them. There were two copies of the contract. 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 game officially began, the black and white pieces were placed on the chessboard. After the troops were arranged, who was the better strategist? Was it a trap or an opportunity? Was it an opportunity or was it an ambush? It wasn't just about IQ. It was also about the mastery of the art of war and strategy.
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 the soldiers on their side and led the soldiers to attack the enemy's camp. When the enemy attacked, whether they could defend to the death and not be attacked reflected the thousands of years of profound culture of a country.
In the audience, there were some people who didn't understand Go at all and were purely there to watch the show. But most people still knew a little about Go. Looking at the two people who didn't give in to each other, there was a layout that made people want to applaud and praise, and there was also a battle between attack and defense that made people nervous.
If it weren't for the fact that the audience had to keep quiet and couldn't discuss, there would definitely be people who couldn't 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 couldn't 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 showed 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 couldn't believe that he had lost.
The host announced that Tao Wan had won.
After Tao Wan stood up, the audience was stunned.
They began to discuss the game intensely. Just now, they were competing with each other and reversing the situation again and again. It was simply frightening.
Wei Shicheng smiled. He already knew that Tao Wan's Go skills were very high, but he didn't 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 tried to stand up, but his legs gave out 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 pounded on the table. He didn't expect that he would lose, and lose so unwillingly.
Liu Wangyang's face was not very good. That piece of ancestral land was coveted by many people. The Liu family had been guarding it for so many years. Even in their dreams, they didn't expect that it would be given away so easily.
But it was a foregone conclusion. He could only comfort Old Man Liu and ask him not to be too angry. Otherwise, it would be even worse if his body was damaged.
"Old Man Su, Old Man Su, Old Man 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 for a long time by the people next to him.
"What do you think of this game?"
The people around Su Yongfu looked at him, waiting for him to make a comment, but Su Yongfu was speechless for a long time. It was said that the onlooker sees more clearly than the person involved. Today, he was watching Tao Wan from the perspective of a bystander. He saw Tao Wan playing against someone stronger than him. Only then did he know that Tao Wan had 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 were evenly matched. But 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 couldn't help but tremble. He thought that this was no longer the level of a genius, but a monster.
Tao Wan was not only popular in the world of Go, but also had a certain level of fame on the Internet.
They felt that someone who could be praised by the Chess Saint must be very powerful. Although people who didn't understand Go couldn't understand how powerful the Chess Saint was, someone who could be called a saint was definitely a master among masters.
Tao Wan didn't win against Su Yongfu because he felt that it wasn't an official game. Moreover, Su Yongfu was the Chess Saint. It wasn't good for him to win against him directly. He wanted to save some face for the old man.
However, Wei Shicheng was a little dissatisfied with him losing the painting. He promised to draw him a better one, so he hugged him happily and kissed and rubbed him.
After the teachers of the Go Department of the National Academy saw the video, they immediately wanted to meet with Tao Wan. However, because Du Yi was about to undergo surgery, Tao Wan asked for leave to stay at home. He told the dean of the Go Department to contact him. After the award ceremony, he would meet with them.
The dean and the Go teachers were very eager to see him. They even wanted to visit him. However, after the dean found out about his brother's situation, he comforted the other teachers and asked them to wait.
Wei Shicheng helped to arrange the hospital and doctors. They didn't have to wait too long. After all the examinations, they could start the surgery.
Tao Wan sighed in his heart about the benefits of being rich and powerful. The original owner's father had been running around for several years. He only managed to contact a hospital before he died. Unfortunately, before Du Yi could start the surgery, he went bankrupt and passed away.
Tao Wan had already taken Du Yi for various examinations. After a few days of rest, he could go to the hospital and wait for the surgery.
During the few days of rest at home, Tao Wan went out for a few hours every day. He told Du Yi that he was going to work. In fact, he was going to sleep with Wei Shicheng. However, since he was kept by Wei Shicheng, it was his job to sleep with Wei Shicheng. He wasn't lying. He just couldn't tell what his job was.
Today, Tao Wan didn't prepare to leave the house. Du Yi asked in confusion, "Brother, don't you have to work today?"
"Uh … because you're going to have the surgery soon. I don't feel safe leaving you alone at home, so I brought my work home," Tao Wan said.
"Oh, then I won't watch TV. It's too noisy and will disturb your work. I'll go back to my room and read for a while." Du Yi turned off the TV with the remote control and stood up.
The doorbell suddenly rang. Tao Wan walked over to open the door. Wei Shicheng walked in from outside.
Du Yi was still standing in the living room. He was preparing to greet the guest before going into the room.
"This is Uncle Wei." Tao Wan introduced him to Du Yi.
"Hello, Uncle Wei." Du Yi greeted Wei Shicheng obediently.
"Yes, hello." Wei Shicheng nodded.
"Uncle Wei is here to talk about work with brother. We have very important things to talk about. If you don't have anything important, don't disturb us. But if you don't feel well, you must knock on the door or call me loudly. Do you understand? "Tao Wan instructed seriously.
"Yes." Du Yi nodded obediently.
"If you don't feel well, you must not bear it." Tao Wan instructed again seriously.
"Okay." After Du Yi answered, he turned around and went back to his room.
Tao Wan brought Wei Shicheng into his room. Just as he closed the door and locked it, he was pressed against the wall by Wei Shicheng and kissed.
Tao Wan clung to his shoulder and raised his head to receive his domineering kiss. Soon, he was stripped naked and pressed on the bed.
Wei Shicheng had never been so obsessed with a person's body. He felt like he was addicted. If he didn't touch this body for a day, he couldn't sit still and couldn't concentrate on anything. He wanted to bring this person with him at this moment so that he could hold him at any time and do whatever he wanted.
Such a charming and delicious body. He couldn't get enough of it. Especially when he was like a peerlessly beautiful little goblin, straddling him and twisting his waist. For a moment, he was even willing to give him his soul. When he woke up and calmed down, he already had the idea of possessing him forever.
Tao Wan bit his lips and tried not to cry out because this wasn't Wei Shicheng's office, nor was it his high-class apartment outside. It was a rental apartment with very ordinary soundproofing. Although Du Yi's room wasn't next to his, if he went to the living room to drink water or take something, it wouldn't be good if he accidentally heard him crying out in bed.
The two of them were doing this in the room, and there was a child in the other room. Tao Wan actually felt quite guilty. But Wei Shicheng wasn't willing to wait for a day. It was like drinking water and eating food. He had to eat a meal every day to have the energy to work.
The sound of the bed shaking was a little loud. Tao Wan wanted him to slow down, but he was worried that if he opened his mouth, he wouldn't be able to help but cry out.
Two hours later, Wei Shicheng left and went back to work. Tao Yuan was lying on the bed, looking like he had been violated. Moreover, the person who had violated him had left without giving him any money. Because he was a monthly customer, he paid in one lump sum every month, so he could come and take care of him at any time.
After a while, Tao Wan recovered. When the heat in his body subsided, he pulled the blanket over himself and prepared to sleep for a while before getting up to cook dinner.
Two days before the surgery, Du Yi was admitted to the hospital. He stayed in the VIP suite and a room for family members. These were all arranged by Wei Shicheng. Otherwise, even if Tao Wan was rich now, he wouldn't be able to get the VIP suite in the hospital.
When Du Yi started the surgery, Tao Wan was waiting in the family members' lounge outside the operating room. Wei Shicheng put down his work and came to accompany him.
In Wei Shicheng's eyes, the two of them were still children. For such an important surgery, there must be a real parent and adult present.
Tao Wan leaned on Wei Shicheng's shoulder. He was actually still a little worried. If Du Yi's surgery failed, then he didn't fulfill his responsibility.
The system told him that the soul he replaced willingly exchanged bodies, and that after reincarnation, he would receive more happiness. So he came to this world not only to complete his mission, but also to help the original owner do what he couldn't do. Tao Wan felt that since he replaced the original owner, he should bear all the responsibilities for him.
