The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 240 The Evil Capitalist
As a rich second generation and a senior member, Ning Yuan quickly found the place for the club's next gathering through his connections.

Because there was a life lawsuit at the last gathering, they were very honest for a while, and with the Taoist affairs, after Yuan Mu intervened, everyone thought that Ning Yuan knew some important person.

People in the world are like this. It is their normality to hold the high and step down. This is especially true for businessmen. Their nature of chasing interests makes them always give in to seek shelter and Other benefits.

So after Ning Yuan found them, they did not make any comments on Ning Yuan's last behavior, but instead showed great kindness to him and his fellow Yang Yang.

They always thought that Yuan Mu and Ying Long, who appeared together with them last time, were more powerful figures in the Taoist sect, and the fight with that direct disciple was just an ordinary sect struggle.

As for those who were implicated because of that incident, that has long been out of their consideration, and their first priority is to curry favor with the new Ning Yuan.

This time the party was held in a luxurious private club, Yang Yang saw several famous paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor from the moment he entered the door.

As a non-art student, Yang Yang naturally couldn't name these paintings. He just thought they looked familiar, so he pulled Ning Yuan beside him and asked, "Hey, look at that painting, where do I really want to see it? it is true?"

"Which one?" Ning Yuan cooperatively stopped and looked in the direction of his fingers. After seeing the painting that Yang Yang said he looked familiar with, he laughed: "You must have seen it before, the imitations of this painting are all rotten on the street. Yes, but this one is real."

"Really!?" Although he was prepared in his heart, Yang Yang was still taken aback when he heard Ning Yuan's affirmation. He almost subconsciously began to calculate if the paintings on the corridor were real. How much is the painting in this room worth?
"Yes, really." Ning Yuan said, and continued to walk forward, turning his head and explaining to Yang Yang as he walked: "I have been to this private club many times before, and their guests are generally either rich or expensive, you know Yes, rich people, whether they understand it or not, at least have to pretend.

Then there is nothing more capable of pretending to be a cultural person than these paintings, but don’t look at so many paintings here, there are really not many of them, and the boss is not stupid. If it is really broken, don’t say it. I can really find a second picture on the Internet. "

Listening to Ning Yuan's explanation, Yang Yang nodded to express his understanding, but he still couldn't forget the painting just now.Seeing Yang Yang walking and not forgetting to turn his head to look at the painting, Ning Yuan smiled and said: "I have been going back and forth for so long, this is the first time I see a guest who can't forget this painting, it is worthy of the boss's effort to find A real painting is here.”

"I was just thinking..." Yang Yang was a little embarrassed when he heard his words, he stretched out his hand and scratched his head and said, "How much does this really cost!"

"About... When I bought it, it was more than 600 million, I remember." After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Yang Yang's surprised expression, and said with a smile: "But now it's more than this price. You need to know about artworks. Especially for oil paintings, the value rises very quickly." After he finished speaking, he added: "Faster than houses."

Yang Yang couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear after hearing what he said. It's faster than the appreciation of the house?What a concept! ?Yang Yang remembered the news about house price increases that he saw in the news some time ago, and finally said after a long while: "Evil capitalists!"

"Yes, yes, they are evil capitalists, but I am just a pure and kind rich second generation!" Ning Yuan nodded in agreement with his words, and then said, "Let's go, we are not here to criticize the corrupt life of capitalists Yes, we are here to check things!"

"You're right." Yang Yang responded when he heard his words, and when he looked up, he saw a middle-aged bald man walking towards this side, so he immediately said to Ning Yuan: "There is a bald man behind you, turn around Look at it?"

Ning Yuan turned his head when he heard the words, and saw the host of the party. He immediately walked up to greet the visitor enthusiastically. With that enthusiastic look, he knew that this was the host of the party, but he didn't know that he was the host of the party. I thought it was Ningyuan's God of Wealth.

But it's about the same as the God of Wealth, right?Yang Yang said in his heart, after all, their actions this time still depend on the bald head.

Yang Yang looked at Ning Yuan who was completely different from when he was with him, and sighed, in fact, it is not easy for rich people!Don't talk about other things, just talk about this acting skill, and you can get half of the statuette.

Of course, Ning Yuan can take the whole seat, and his attainments in acting can be described as reaching the pinnacle.

"Ning Yuan! Why are you here?" In fact, he had already noticed from the moment the two of them stepped into the venue. Since the incident on the last cruise ship, everyone was spreading the word that Ning Yuan knew some great people, but all of them It's just other people's rumors. Zhang Jian still wants to judge for himself what is going on.

"Uncle Zhang, aren't you joking? I'm a member! It's rare for the club to hold activities after what happened last time. How can it be possible if I don't come?" Ning Yuan said, looking at Yang Yang's direction pointedly, and then continued Said, "Besides, it doesn't matter whether I come or not, the important thing is that someone wants to come and see this?"

"Look?" Zhang Jian followed his gaze to see Yang Yang, who was looking at the decoration curiously, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Uncle Zhang!" Hearing what he said, Ning Yuan immediately put on an unhappy look and said, "Are you pretending to be stupid with me!? Did you forget what happened on the last cruise ship? Those tall people...they The interior is not peaceful either, no, the one from last time has been recalled."

"Oh, I know that." Zhang Jian nodded, indicating that he knew the news, but he didn't know anything else: "Then who is he?"

"I don't know his identity either!" Ning Yuan saw that he decided to pretend to be stupid to the end, so he changed the topic and started to say: "I only know that when they were on the cruise ship last time, another expert was the one who fought at the end. When... those two, you know, right?"

When mentioning Ying Long and Bai Ze, Zhang Jian naturally didn't dare to pretend to be stupid anymore, besides, there was a lot of trouble on the cruise ship that time, and the police finally boarded the ship, which made the host lose face at all.

Although they also went to protest, they got a cold rejection in the end.These people have been struggling in the shopping malls and officialdom for so many years, which one is not a human being?
From the moment the police boarded the ship, they already felt that something was wrong. After the people above closed the door for them, if they didn't know what happened, they might have died in this cannibalistic shopping mall long ago. land.

"You're kidding, of course I know those two!" Zhang Jian nodded and said.

The situation at that time was obviously that those high-ranking people were fighting with gods!Those fish in the pond are already thankful to Amitabha if they don't get hurt, how dare they go up and ask what's going on?
But even though he didn't inquire, there will still be some news. For example, the former expert was locked up. Although he was fished out not long after, it is said that he has already left in disgrace. As for where he went?Naturally, no one cares.

Compared with this miserable situation, the treatment of Yuan Mu and the others who also made a move is simply a world of difference.

Not only did they not enter the game, even after that incident, no one in the circle heard about them again.Therefore, there are also rumors that this was sent by the higher authorities to clean up the portal.

But what does the real situation look like?
The real situation is that Yuan Mu and the others took the so-called evidence to find the branch of the Taoist sect stationed in the magic capital, and happened to meet Yun Chang who came to inspect. After seeing the photo, Yun Chang immediately sent someone to fish out the direct disciple. out.

Then he hurriedly called his master to come and lead the people, and reprimanded them severely by the way.For ascetics, the prosperity and wealth of mortals are interesting, but what is more important is their own cultivation and future luck.

Besides, the glory and wealth of mortals is indeed too short for ascetics, so as long as it does not affect their own practice, monks don't mind being a master or a god in the mortal population, but This is only under the condition that it does not affect their practice.

Like this time, being approached by Yuan Mu, not to mention they can't stand it, even Yun Chang has one head and two big heads, even if Penglai does this kind of thing by himself, he still has to be sneaky, let alone other sects?

Therefore, Ning Yuan's club has been considered an abandoned child, because first of all, Ruifeng will not let his disciples continue to contact this club, even if this club has cost him countless efforts.

But now that Yuan Mu and Yun Chang have been eyeing him, he will definitely not think about it again. The prosperity and wealth in the mortal world seem good, but they are not as precious as his own nearly 400 years of practice.

After the other ascetics knew about this, they would naturally not come to pick up this mess, but no one would tell mortals about these things.Decades for mortals.

For the monks, it is just a time to retreat, just play with ordinary people's affairs, no one will put this matter above the practice, no one will pay attention to it, and no one will come to inform.

But these, the club people do not know that's all.

What Yang Yang and Ning Yuan are using now is their ignorance.

"Your task is very simple. It is to find their membership information. I want to know who bought what." Yuan Mu finally told the two of them.
