Weak and enchanting

"Recently, I received news that our caravan will accompany the British ambassador to congratulate you on the birthday of the Qing emperor. Li, you can use your identity as a member of the ambassador's entourage to go back and meet your father, so you can build a tombstone for them?"

"No, I can't go back anymore. My only thought now is to start the Li family's family business again in this place. This is the only best repayment that can repay the life my father gave me." Li Shikuang looked indifferently, and was making tea seriously: "Flower art nectar, this kind of tea will cheer up the Li family. Fan, just help me this time, and send this kind of tea to the nobles, they will like it. "

Gao Fan shook his head: "Okay, who asked me to owe you."

When he was studying abroad in his early years, Li Shikuang once rescued a thin and thin Eurasian boy, and this person was one of the family members in a branch of a noble family in England. Although he had little power, he became a businessman when he grew up. Every era is an era of moneyism. Gao Fan is a person who knows how to repay Li Shikuang, and he has more than just a life-saving benefactor towards Li Shikuang.

Moreover, he came back this time and he also knew someone, someone who did not belong to him but he was very persistent. Gao Fan looked at a painting called "Yellow Oriole" hanging in the living room by Li Shikuang. The persistent painter Qi Zeyu.

Since the painting was hung here, Li Shikuang would sit here every day with tea and enjoy the painting.Gao Fan angrily picked up the flower nectar he had packed and left.Because he didn't want to see his longing eyes again, in which he conceived of the overly beautified and beautiful person behind the portrait.

"The painting is not good!" Qi Zeyu threw away a painting he bought casually in disgust.Qi Jiexuan smiled wryly, this is just an ordinary portrait of a street craftsman, of course it cannot catch the eyes of a talented painter, but seeing him pick up another ancient Greek album and look at it seriously, he can't help but feel a headache, even though he grew up in Europe Growing up, but the tradition in his bones made him unable to look directly at the very detailed ancient Greek art that depicts the naked body and even certain parts. After all, he is just a businessman, not an artist.

The same is true for Qi Xinglin, who has long picked up an English book to escape the naked art.Instead, he said slowly, "□□, emptiness is form." He also discussed and exchanged body aesthetics with Qi Zeyu from time to time.Qi Jiexuan was helpless and couldn't bear to disturb the mood of the artist, so he picked up the humble book that Qi Zeyu had read early in the morning and read it. While admiring the literary talent of the reporter, he sighed, it is also very tiring to read through his own experience. matter.

The winter in Europe is always relatively long. When we arrived in Switzerland, it was snowing, and the singing of the locals came from a distance, and they knew that they were not far from their destination.In this country that claims to be eternally neutral and peaceful, it is also the place where the world's gold is stored. Qi Jiexuan also has many business contacts in this country.

"The geographical environment here is very good. You can walk more when you have time. Sometimes you can see some famous artists gather together to communicate with each other. Although we will stay here for the time being, we will still wait for England to stabilize. In the past, so during this period, you should take the time to enjoy it here. By the way, most of the people here can speak French, don't worry about the language barrier. I will do some front work with Uncle Gu later. What's the matter? You can find Annie, Uncle Gu and I will get off here first, and Annie and the others will leave it to you."

After all, Qi Jiexuan and Gu Dong came to the Swiss bank together. Seeing that the person coming in was from the East, the lobby manager immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Hello gentlemen, what is the name of the appointment?"

Gu Don took out his business card: "Mr. Qi."

The lobby manager took the business card and guided the two to the VIP room for a rest.Originally, it was rare to meet oriental people here, and the manager in the lobby would specifically ask about their identities. It seems that there are more than one oriental guests today. Qi Jiexuan asked curiously: "Manager, besides us, do you have any other oriental guests to make appointments today?"

How could the manager of the lobby disclose the information of the guests at will, but only replied one-sidedly: "Yes. I'll go and ask the bank manager to come over for you. Please wait a moment, both of you."

After the people left, Gu Dong laughed and said: "This is really not a common coincidence. In Europe, if the Orientals want to take root in business, they either have a long-standing foundation or someone behind them. In Swiss banks, there are almost only two who have the qualifications to enter the VIP room. , I think the Gao family is the only one besides our Qi family."

Qi Jiexuan nodded in agreement: "If possible, try not to get in touch with them. We are doing a serious maritime business. Although their boss is Gao Fan on the surface, I don't think the blood of an Asian married man is too big. He is able to make a living by himself, and he is definitely supported by nobles. Moreover, they are open and aboveboard slave traders, which is too dangerous."

Gu Don nodded: "Young Master Qi said yes, I will pay attention."

"Mr. Qi has been waiting for a long time, long time no see!" The banker stretched out his hand to shake his hand from afar, and apologized for the poor greeting of the lobby manager.

"Long time no see." Qi Jiexuan and the bank chief booed for a while before getting down to business. This time, in addition to preparing for the upcoming art exchange in Switzerland, he also had to pick up two very valuable items from the Swiss bank warehouse.But in fact, in Qi Jiexuan's opinion, the two items are just accidental items from the auction, and these two precious items will be given to two equally important people in his heart.

It was already evening when the two of them returned to their villa in Switzerland. The warm room was full of laughter and laughter. Qi Xinglin was telling Anne anecdotes about the Qing Dynasty, which made Annie very happy. Seeing the two come back, Annie ordered the servant to prepare dinner .Qi Jiexuan bowed his head towards Gu Bo, Gu Bo delivered a black velvet brocade box to Annie in front of everyone, Annie opened it curiously, and inside was a sparkling sapphire drop-shaped necklace, the sapphire was surrounded by tiny diamonds, shining brightly.

Annie is just a merchant's daughter, she never received such an expensive gift, she covered her mouth in surprise and asked Gu Dong.Gu Dong just smiled: "Thank you, young master. He said that he always delayed my life-long event before, but now I am old enough to say that I should congratulate him. This is the young master's kindness, so you can accept it."

Of course, Annie couldn't just accept this sentence, she hurriedly said, "No, no, how can you do this, young master, it's too precious."

Qi Jiexuan just smiled: "Annie, you are the only lady in our family, and other people are not suitable, besides, there will be a party held by the Swiss Bank in five days, as the only flower in our Qi family, you have to bring it to us Have a long face."

"This..." Seeing that Annie was still hesitating, Qi Jiexuan hurriedly added: "We still need to choose a dress that is worthy of this necklace. Let's go and have a look tomorrow. By the way, there is an old tailor with exquisite craftsmanship. Shi, it's time to get the new robe that I ordered for Xiao Yu."

Having said all this, Annie had no choice but to accept this precious gift.Qi Jiexuan took out another gift, unwrapped layers of protective paper, and an incomprehensible world-famous painting appeared in front of his eyes, but this was not important, the important thing was that the artist signed it as Leonardo da Vinci.

He is a very famous painter, and the auction price of a work cannot be described as priceless, but Qi Jiexuan didn't care much, and handed the painting to Qi Zeyu: "Xiao Yu, do you like this painting? If not Find Tianjiexuan and choose another one for you."

Everyone else opened their mouths in surprise, only Qi Zeyu looked at the painting in front of him calmly from top to bottom, from left to right, and after a long time came to comment: "It's not bad." Qi Jiexuan smiled and kissed him: " Great, then I'll hang it in the room so that you can see it every day."

Seeing his heart nodding in satisfaction, and laughing at a beauty that is hard to buy, Qi Jiexuan thought that as long as this is the case, everything will be worth it.
