Chen Shen originally wanted to show off to his girlfriend at Farmanlo Restaurant.
But he didn't expect to bump into Jiang Chen and Chu Lingyao on a date as soon as he entered the restaurant!
Chen Shen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot!
However, seeing Jiang Chen and Chu Lingyao talking and laughing, as if they were in love, how could he not fly into a rage?
The kind of anger that could break through the nine heavens!
However, Jiang Chen didn't know him at all. He only cared about chatting with Chu Lingyao.
Chu Lingyao couldn't be bothered with him.
She had high standards. Except for Jiang Chen, she had never been tempted.
This Chen Shen had a bad character. She had already rejected him N times, but he still pestered her!
The two sides minded their own business and lived in harmony.
However, Chen Shen's girlfriend noticed that Chen Shen was a little absent-minded.
Chen Shen's girlfriend asked, "Chen Shen, what's wrong? What are you thinking about? Do you not want to be responsible for me? "
Chen Shen said perfunctorily, "No, why would I? I'm just a little uncomfortable."
After all, a super beauty like Chu Lingyao directly crushed his current girlfriend's looks.
If he hadn't drunk too much that night, how could he have been with her?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!
At this moment, Chu Lingyao took her bag and stood up with a smile.
"Jiang Chen, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Okay."
Jiang Chen nodded.
Just ten seconds after Chu Lingyao left, there was a sudden commotion.
Clang ~ ~ ~
Pa ~ ~ ~
Jiang Chen looked over. It turned out that Chu Lingyao had fallen and even brought down a painting next to her.
The famous painting fell to the ground, the frame shattered, and the floor was covered in glass. The painting was directly split in half.
This time, quite a few people were alarmed!
Everyone was shocked!
"Oh my god! This painting broke just like that? "
"This is a famous painting!"
"This painting is at least 1 million yuan, right?"
“...”
Jiang Chen immediately went forward and helped Chu Lingyao up. He asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. It's just that I accidentally sprained my ankle and tore this painting."
Chu Lingyao's beautiful face turned pale, and her heart was still beating fast.
She wanted to cry now, not because she had broken the painting, but because of her image in Jiang Chen's heart …
She felt wronged and blamed herself. How could a date turn out like this?
The restaurant manager immediately rushed over with a dark expression!
"Miss, you're making things very difficult for us."
"This painting is authentic. It's the masterpiece of the famous Danish painter, Hans Anton, 'The Little Match Boy'!"
"Our master bought it at a high price from Christie's auction house in Hong Kong!"
The restaurant manager stared at Chu Lingyao and coldly said, "You broke the painting, you must pay for it!"
"This … I know. How much do you want me to pay?"
Chu Ling Yao frowned. She was also very clear.
This was the world-class painter An Tutu, a well-known painter. How could his paintings not be valuable?
Moreover, it was a famous work — The Little Match Boy!
Looking at the manager's attitude, he was a little fierce. It was obvious that he would not let them leave without paying. She was not afraid of losing money, but she was afraid that she did not have enough money!
"Lingyao, it's okay."
Jiang Chen pulled the pale and wronged Chu Lingyao behind him and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure this painting is authentic?"
"It's absolutely true, sir!"
The restaurant manager was very insistent and unyielding. "I still have the authoritative appraisal report from the Christie's auction that the boss obtained. There are also the signatures of three international appraisal masters. This painting of the Little Match Girl is definitely an authentic work!"
"Oh."
Jiang Chen looked at the restaurant manager's expression and knew that it was indeed authentic. Otherwise, the restaurant would not be so aggressive. "How much do you want to pay?"
"This painting was sold for 2.58 million. Pay according to the original price. Sigh …"
The restaurant manager sighed. This painting had room for appreciation!
"2.58 million? I … manager, I didn't bring enough money, I … "
Chu Lingyao was so anxious that she cried. She was a little incoherent and her heart was about to collapse.
She originally wanted to invite Jiang Chen out for a meal to thank him, but now it had turned out like this …
She was so embarrassed that she could not raise her head in front of Jiang Chen.
"Miss, call your family. 2.58 million is not a small amount. Only your family can pay for it …"
The restaurant owner's words were reasonable and his attitude was fierce. He looked like he would not let her go if she could not pay for it.
Chu Lingyao took out her phone from her bag in a panic and was about to call her father, but she was stopped by Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled gently. "Don't blame yourself. I'll deal with it."
As a man, how could Jiang Chen watch a woman beside him be so embarrassed and wronged?
It's just 2.58 million. I, Jiang Chen, have it.
At this moment, a man passed by …
Jiang Chen glanced at him and was surprised.
This man was actually Qin Guodong's secretary!
They really met everywhere.
When the secretary passed by and saw Jiang Chen eating, he was even more surprised!
He clearly remembered how Qin Guodong treated Jiang Chen.
That attitude was really, really, really polite!
The secretary thought for a moment, walked over, and reprimanded the restaurant manager, "Are you mistaken? The painting hanging here shouldn't be an original, but a fake, right? Why should we pay 2.58 million? "
The restaurant manager was dumbfounded.
Of course, he knew the male secretary. He was Zhao Shun, the secretary of the boss, Qin Guodong!
Qin Guodong was a big shot that even the boss had to fawn over! It was a pity that Qin Guodong kept a low profile and did not like to come to Farmanlo Restaurant. Otherwise, the boss would treat him to a banquet every day!
Moreover, Zhao Shun also liked art and had even appreciated this painting with the boss.
With his eyesight, of course, he could tell that this was the real deal!
But now, how did it become a fake?
The restaurant manager was puzzled when he suddenly saw Zhao Shun give him a look and blinked.
The manager instantly understood!
So that's how it was!
Zhao Shun clearly knew that this was the real deal, but he insisted on calling it a fake?
His purpose was nothing more than to prevent the young man from compensating!
The manager looked at Jiang Chen with awe!
Even Qin Guodong's secretary had to secretly curry favor with this person. How noble was this person?
He had almost offended a super big shot!
The restaurant manager broke out in cold sweat!
His expression changed instantly.
"Aiya, look at my memory! The painting hanging outside is a fake, a fake! I'm really sorry. This distinguished guest and such a beautiful lady, you don't have to worry! This painting is actually only worth a few dozen yuan. There's no need to compensate at all! Please take a seat, please take a seat. "
The restaurant manager had a fawning smile on his face as he bowed and kept apologizing.
Chu Lingyao was a little dumbfounded.
？？？
He had said it so seriously just now and had even taken out a pile of evidence to say that it was the real deal. He wanted 2.58 million yuan in compensation.
How did it become an insignificant fake in the blink of an eye?
What had happened?
.....
This painting was undoubtedly the real deal.
Jiang Chen was also very clear that Qin Guodong's secretary had played a role in this.
He smiled at Zhao Shun as a form of gratitude. The other party also smiled back.
When Chen Shen saw that Chu Lingyao had broken the famous painting and was being compensated 2.58 million yuan, he was beaming with joy at the side.
He was smiling like a flower!
Hahaha ~ You embarrassed yourself, right?
Your boyfriend is a Didi driver and has no money. This time, I will let you know.
His looks are not worth mentioning at all!
Who knew … the situation would take a turn.
The restaurant manager suddenly announced that this was a fake and there was no need to compensate. He even apologized to Jiang Chen and Chu Lingyao!
Chen Shen couldn't help but want to curse. He said unhappily, "F * ck! It's actually a fake. There's no mistake! "
Chen Shen had failed 39 times in his confession. He liked Chu Lingyao very much, but he didn't expect Chu Lingyao to tell him that she liked Jiang Chen.
Chen Shen couldn't eat wine and sour grapes. He had always wanted to embarrass Jiang Chen and get Chu Lingyao back.
At this moment, his girlfriend noticed that his gaze was on Jiang Chen and Chu Lingyao. She keenly sensed that something was wrong.
"Hey, what do you mean? You haven't looked at me since you came in! "
The woman flipped out and suddenly stood up. "You've been looking at the girl at that table. Do you know her before? You're talking nonsense. You're not thinking about me at all!
"If you don't want to take responsibility, you should have said so earlier. Don't be here. Your heart is with the Han Dynasty!"
The woman became more and more irritable as she spoke. She pointed at Chen Shen's nose and scolded.
Chen Shen was embarrassed.
The people around them were watching. Chen Shen quickly asked the woman to sit down.
The woman ignored him and continued to throw a tantrum.
She raised her hand and was about to leave angrily. However, she didn't notice that her bag had fallen on another painting on the wall!
Clang ~ ~ Bam ~ ~
That painting was also a tragedy!
It fell and was damaged!
The manager almost vomited blood.
Was there a mistake?
Another painting was damaged?
The woman was stunned for a moment and snorted. "You take responsibility!"
Zhou Shen looked calm and collected. He smiled and said, "Manager, we've damaged your painting. Tell us how much it's worth! I'll compensate you tenfold! "
He was super good at acting tough!
One had to know that the painting the manager just said was a fake that cost tens of dollars!
Ten times was at most a few hundred!
Acting tough was that simple. Plus, it was acting tough PLUS!
"You said tenfold compensation!"
The manager's mouth twitched. He took out a calculator and pressed it. He gave a price!
"Sir! This painting is cheaper. The original price was 1.36 million. You said tenfold compensation of 13.6 million! "
"Pfft ~ ~ ~"
Zhou Shen and the woman spat at the same time!
"13.6 million?! Is there a mistake? Σ (っ ° Д °;) っ "
