Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time

Chapter 67 Return the jade intact to Zhao?

Chen Chen looked up and saw Gu Jinhe holding a cup of freshly brewed tea and handing it to him.

"Try it and see how it tastes."

Chen Chen paused and then took the cup. He lowered his head and took a sip of the tea. It tasted sweet, mellow and long.

Sitting in the bustling and noisy hotel lobby, sipping the specially brewed tea, it seems as if the hustle and bustle outside has not disturbed this place.

Shuhua explained: "This is old white tea, also called platinum tea. There is a saying that goes, one year old tea, three years old medicine, seven years old treasure, this is what it means."

Chen Chen asked cautiously, "Worth a thousand gold coins?"

Shuhua glared at him and said, "If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to drink it."

Chen Chen smiled and said, "Then you don't understand. You said this tea is a treasure, so why shouldn't I drink it?" Then he lowered his head and took two more sips, savoring it carefully, then nodded seriously and commented, "It is indeed a good tea."

Gu Jinhe tilted his head to glance at Shuhua, who immediately lowered his head and continued to make tea without speaking any more words.

"How long have Mr. Chen and Mr. Murong known each other?" Gu Jinhe asked.

Chen Chen put down the cup and said, "Qingxuan and I were classmates in college. He was my only friend in school. Although he came from a wealthy family, he was very approachable and treated everyone the same. He also helped me a lot in the past, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today."

Gu Jinhe nodded slightly. She could tell that Chen Chen had a very good impression of Murong Qingxuan. In that case, she didn't want to ask any more questions.

The dishes came soon. The pickled fish and braised spareribs that Chen Chen specially introduced tasted good except that they were a little too spicy.

Chen Chen did not go anywhere else for afternoon tea because he knew that even if he went, Gu Jinhe probably would not drink the tea there.

After all, with a tea master by my side and tea worth thousands of dollars on hand, why would I need to drink tea from outside?

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Jinhe and his friends returned to the Penglai Art Exhibition. There were more people on this floor, and some paintings were hung on some blank walls, including one hung next to the one Gu Jinhe brought.

Chen Chen was amazed after seeing it, today's 'Making Friends Through Painting' is really full of hidden talents, and it actually produced two paintings and calligraphy works worth over 100 million yuan at once.

At this time, there were people standing in front of the two paintings, comparing the two paintings and discussing them.

It was rare to see a noisy scene in such a quiet place, and there were also exhibition staff on site to prevent anyone from touching the calligraphy and paintings.

Gu Jinhe and the others stood not far away and watched. Chen Chen glanced at those people who were arguing fiercely and said, "Qingxuan has always liked art works such as calligraphy and painting. In fact, he brought me here the first time. He buys a lot of calligraphy and paintings here every year. He is a diamond member here. Others can only come with paintings, but he can come in by scanning his face. The boss and staff here all know him."

Gu Jinhe frowned slightly. Murong Qingxuan buys calligraphy and paintings at the Penglai Art Exhibition every year?

Given his family background, the owner of the Penglai Art Exhibition would not sell fake paintings to him, so did he really not know the shady dealings behind it?

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the auction of "Making Friends through Paintings" began. Gu Jinhe and his friends were invited to a private room. One wall of the room was a projector, on which scrolls of paintings slowly unfolded.

The bodyguards were guarding outside the door, while Gu Jinhe and Chen Chen were sitting on the sofa in the middle of the box.

Someone handed over a post that listed the names of the scrolls and the order of the auction. When the painting or calligraphy you like appeared on the projector, you just had to press the button on the table to make a bid.

Because Gu Jinhe did not agree to sell the paintings, the paintings she brought were not listed on the post, but Chen Chen's paintings were listed among them.

Gu Jinhe was not interested in these calligraphy and paintings. He watched the paintings on the projector being bought by others without feeling the slightest bit of emotion.

Gu Jinhe did tell Xu Cheng and Shuhua Shumo that if they liked any painting, she could buy it and give it to them. Although Dongzhi had invited a tailor to measure the size, the clothes could not be made that quickly. So now that there happened to be an auction of calligraphy and paintings, it would be better to give them another gift.

Although they had not been in contact with Gu Jinhe for a long time, Xu Cheng and others knew that Gu Jinhe would not change what he said at will.

When it came to calligraphy and painting, they first chose a landscape painting, and then the calligraphy and ink. She chose a freehand painting, while Xu Cheng chose a plum blossom painting.

Gu Jinhe turned to look at Chen Chen. Chen Chen was already shocked by her generosity in giving calligraphy and paintings to others. With a boss like this, what else did he need a bicycle for?

Any random painting could cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. Gu Jinhe gave away three paintings directly, and in just a short time, nearly ten million was spent.

Chen Chen admires this ability to spend money.

Seeing Gu Jinhe turning to look at him, Chen Chen's heart suddenly trembled, thinking, could it be that such good fortune has befallen him?

Gu Jinhe raised his eyebrows slightly and reminded: "Your painting is going to be auctioned."

oh oh oh!

Chen Chen patted his chest, he was so scared that he thought Gu Jinhe was asking him to pick a painting as well. After a few seconds he realized what Gu Jinhe said. Chen Chen immediately stared at the projector to see how many of his paintings could be photographed.

Chen Chen's paintings have profound artistic conception and many people are interested in them. After the auction, Chen Chen got a satisfactory price.

The "Making Friends Through Painting" auction ended at 4:30 p.m., and the calligraphy and paintings that were auctioned were delivered by the staff.

Those who bring calligraphy and paintings can go back and take them away.

After Chen Chen sold the painting, he waved goodbye to Gu Jinhe contentedly and left the Penglai Art Exhibition.

Shuhua took out his mobile phone and turned on the video, recording the scene of the Penglai Art Exhibition staff taking down the paintings for them.

This was also what Gu Jinhe had told her before she came.

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyes and looked at the scroll handed to him. Shu Mo stepped forward to take it, but Gu Jinhe raised his hand to stop her.

Shu Mo looked at Gu Jinhe in confusion. The exhibition had already ended. Did the young lady still want to hang the painting here?

The staff of Penglai Art Exhibition was also puzzled. He said: "Thank you for trusting us, Penglai Art Exhibition. Now we will return your painting intact."

Return the jade intact to Zhao?

Gu Jinhe's face darkened slightly, and he said, "I know better than you what the paintings I brought here look like. Are you sure the painting you are holding now is the one I originally had?"

The staff member turned pale with fright when he heard this, because he knew clearly the value of the painting hanging on this wall.

If something went wrong or the painting was swapped, their exhibition would have to pay compensation, and the person guarding the place would also bear part of the compensation liability, but the value of this painting was too high, and even if they sold it they would not be able to afford the compensation.

Gu Jinhe did not make things difficult for him, but just asked him to call the boss over.

The owner of the Penglai Art Exhibition is a man in his fifties, of medium height, with a fat body and an honest and simple face.

As soon as the boss came, he greeted with a smile and a protruding belly, and asked what happened. The staff member then explained the matter.

After listening to this, the boss smiled and said to Gu Jinhe without changing his expression: "The paintings sent to us will not be touched except for the appraisal. Once they are hung on the wall, no one will touch them. Miss, please take a closer look at the painting. Did you see it wrong?"
