The years when I was an old man

"Where is she?"

"Ask us to meet at the nearby Lijing Cafe!"

"Go, go and see!"

I changed my clothes and went out with Master Hong directly.

When I arrived at the coffee shop, I saw a seat by the window as soon as I entered the door. Xie Chengbing was sitting there with a cup of coffee in front of him.

At this time, she rested her chin on one hand and looked out of the window gracefully.

But there was an indescribable loneliness in her expression.

After saying hello, Master Hong and I sat opposite her.

Xie Chengbing didn't talk nonsense, she went straight to the topic and asked Master Hong:

"We have also been in contact twice, and I don't think it is necessary to hide it anymore. Let's be honest, who are you? Why are you approaching my daughter?"

Xie Chengbing regarded Master Hong as our general, but Master Hong turned his head and glanced at me.

At this time, it is useless to hide it again.It's time for the showdown.

Just as I was about to speak, Xie Chengbing suddenly said:

"If I'm not mistaken, you are from Bashu, right?"

Bashu?

Master Hong and I looked at each other suspiciously.But then, it dawned on me.

Huo Yuhan, the elder brother of Bashu, was her ex-husband.

Did she suspect that we were sent by Huo Yuhan?

I looked at Xie Chengbing and immediately replied:

"Chairman Xie, you misunderstood. We are not from Bashu. We are friends of Mr. Fang Chukai..."

"Boss?"

Xie Chengbing repeated a sentence, but I could clearly feel that she felt a sense of relief.

"So, it's because of that piece of land that you want to make a fuss about my daughter?"

"Correct!"

Since it is a clear card, we must tell the truth.

"But we don't mean to hurt Ms. Xie in any way. I just heard that Ms. Xie loves painting and is very talented in painting. That's why we want to make a game and help Ms. Xie become famous in the painting and calligraphy circle!"

"How to do it?"

Xie Chengbing asked.I will tell the whole plan before.

As soon as she finished listening, she couldn't help but glanced at me and asked:

"The first round of the Qianmen 36-day game, the dripping ball game. Do you actually understand this?"

I was afraid that she would continue to ask me about my teacher's background, so I responded vaguely.

"Working with Fang Zong, you can still learn something!"

Xie Chengbing thought for a while, then asked again:

"This is something that is beneficial to me but not harmful to me. Why didn't you say it at the beginning?"

Xie Chengbing was really transparent, and asked about the gate of life in one sentence.

"Because this is what we want to reserve for ourselves. If the situation is over, Chairman Xie still won't sell the piece to Mr. Fang. We are going to turn the tables and push this situation to Chairman Xie. Say you are doing it for your daughter. , spent a lot of money and used all kinds of contacts to make this game. At that time, your daughter has just received fresh applause, and may soon fall to the bottom of the valley and lose her reputation!"

I still tell the truth, Xie Chengbing glanced out the window and said:

"Despicable enough!"

"Yes!"

I don't deny that in this despicable arena, we can only move forward by despicableness.

"Tell Mr. Fang, you can do it, and I have fulfilled my daughter's dream of being a painter. It's done. Let Mr. Fang come and talk to me about the land!"

In a word, I felt at ease immediately.

But I know that what she said about the realization of the dream is not the truth, but that she couldn't stand being tortured by the daughter of the witch, so she could only accept it.

Holding the handbag, Xie Chengbing got up directly to leave.

Master Hong and I sent her out. When we got to the door, she suddenly turned around and asked us:

"By the way, the girl who was with you, why didn't she come?"

I don't know if this is called blood connection.

She hasn't seen her in 20 years, and now she has only met twice, but she has such a deep impression on Xiaoduo.

I reasoned that Xiaoduo was busy and didn't come today.

Xie Chengbing was also very direct, simply saying:

"A pretty good little girl, but she follows you around in the Jianghu. You go back and tell her that if you want to work, you can come to me. I will give her a position so that she can be a normal person without having to go through the world!"

"Okay, I will definitely bring it!"

With Xie Chengbing's cooperation, our plan can be carried out smoothly.

The first step is to find people in the industry by Fang Chukai and hold the first World Young Calligraphers and Painters Competition.The Chinese division directly recommended three contestants.Xie Yiliu was among them.

In the second step, I called He Xiaoshi and asked her to start collecting contemporary paintings and calligraphy at high prices in Tianjin Wei and Beijing calligraphy and painting circles.And as long as Xie Chengbing is called, as long as there is one, he will charge a high price.

It turned out that He Xiaoshi's father, He Songbai Jinpen, started to collect after washing his hands.Under their operation, the art dealers in Beijing and Tianjin all knew a name, Xie Yiliu.In addition, He Xiaoshi's price was very high, so the art dealer began to ask everywhere, who is this Xie Yiliu?Where can I buy her words.

At the same time, I asked Fang Chukai to send someone.Started to collect paintings in Qilu.People in the calligraphy and painting circle know Xie Yiliu.For a while, many art dealers took the initiative to find Xie Yiliu, wanting to buy paintings.But the Xie family declined one by one.

The third step is to select and send Xie Yiliu's works to compete abroad.At the same time, Fang Chukai spent a lot of money through various relationships and invited many world-renowned young painters to participate in the competition.

What we need to do now is to wait for the final result of the game.

The day when the result came out was the moment when Xie Yiliu's painting was put up for auction.

In the following days, we had nothing to do every day, climbing mountains, looking at the water, and waiting for the final result.

But I don't know why, but I always have a feeling of uneasiness in my heart.

It's not because of this situation, but because of the complicated relationship between Xiaoduo and Xie's mother and daughter.

This afternoon, I just finished visiting the former residence of Li Qingzhao with Lord Hong.

Just as he was about to drive back to the hotel, his phone rang suddenly.

I took it out and saw that it was Su Yuzhu who called me.

As soon as he picked it up, Su Yuzhu asked directly:

"Master Chu Liu, have you contacted my sister recently?"

I was taken aback. After we left Nanyue, Su Mei and I never got in touch again.

"No, what happened to her?"

Su Yuzhu's tone was a little worried.

"It's been more than a week since she returned to Quancheng, but she hasn't contacted me. I started calling her the day before yesterday. Until now, her phone has been turned off. I feel something is wrong. So I ask you..."

Shut down?

For some reason, I felt an ominous feeling in my heart.
