After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.
Chapter 150: What a treasure
Zhu Jin weighed the book in her hand. She really liked it, but she really didn't want to get something for nothing.
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Jin took out a piece of white paper from his bag and casually wrote his name and contact information on it.
"I don't want to give you a book for nothing. If you have anything in the future, you can call me directly or come here to see me." Zhu Jin handed the note over, "I will do my best to help you."
The old man took the note, looked at the name and address on it, and nodded, "Okay."
Zhu Jin breathed a sigh of relief before putting the book into his bag.
When the two of them reached the end of the street, Cheng Zhizhi looked back again.
The old man was still sitting under the dim light, flipping through the books in his hands, without moving. There were many mosquitoes flying around, but he was not disturbed.
"Jinjin, is there anything magical about this book?" Cheng Zhizhi picked up the book in Zhu Jin's hand and looked back and forth curiously, even being extra careful in his movements for fear of damaging it.
There are many pictures in this book, but the printing traces are not very clear. It may be that the printing is blurred due to too long time.
Cheng Zhizhi couldn't see anything strange in the book, and even many of the descriptions in the book were in classical Chinese, which made people feel like one head was as big as two.
"Yes. This book is the work of Chen Lang, a famous jewelry design master during the Republic of China."
As a jewelry designer, Cheng Zhizhi has certainly heard of this name.
The hand that was casually flipping through the books suddenly stopped, her pupils subconsciously dilated, and she asked in surprise, "Who?!"
"Chen Lang. He is the master of jewelry design who later settled abroad and spread the national style and our country's style abroad and promoted our country's traditional culture."
During the Republic of China, when European and American countries were still unique in jewelry design competitions, this jewelry designer won major international awards in one fell swoop, successfully creating Chinese style and causing an international sensation.
It is said that this jewelry design master is also a hand-maker. He has mastered more than a dozen of China’s jewelry-related intangible cultural heritage technologies.
The books he has written describe these intangible cultural heritage technologies in detail as well as his original design concepts and some design drawings.
However, the Republic of China was raging with war.
Many books could not be preserved there, and many of the books left abroad were abandoned because the words on the books were obscure and difficult to understand.
After all the efforts, only a few of the books originally published by this master remain in museums.
In fact, most of the books in the museum are incomplete or only have a few pages.
"This...isn't this a piracy?" Cheng Zhizhi murmured.
Although she felt that her statement was unreasonable, she was a little unbelievable that such a good thing suddenly fell from the sky.
"No." Zhu Jin said firmly.
Cheng Zhizhi looked at Zhu Jin blankly, and then reacted, "Sorry, I didn't mean to say that this book was pirated, I, I..."
Zhu Jin raised his hand to stop Cheng Zhizhi's next words, "I know you just said it unintentionally. I have read this book when I was in a foreign museum, so I probably know what the original version looks like."
"and……"
Zhu Jin took the book and said, "This binding technique can only be found in bookstores in the Republic of China. If it is a pirated version, it is most likely a pirated version that was published immediately after the Republic of China, and the reference value is also very high."
Cheng Zhizhi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, yes."
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the car.
Zhu Jin opened the door and said, "Let's go to the hotel and have a rest first. We won't go shopping in the city center until after ten o'clock."
……
Blessings to the family.
Zhu Chen frowned and said nothing.
Zhu Yuan sat next to Gao Weilan and nudged her with her elbow. She couldn't help but nuzzle in the direction of Zhu Chen, signaling for him to help.
"Achen, please help Yuanyuan this time." Gao Weilan sat next to Zhu Chen and leaned against him. "You also know that she just hopes to gain a foothold in the Huo Group."
"Isn't this what you want? She will also be able to help our Zhu family by then."
This time, Zhu Chen did not agree directly.
He knew the consequences this would have.
If he helps, then the Zhu family will be at odds with the fourth brother of the Huo family.
However, the Huo Group is now dominated by Huo Jingxiu's family.
He didn't want to do something that might cause trouble.
"Forget it." Zhu Chen thought again and again before saying, "Yuanyuan, if you feel that there are no internship opportunities and experience in the Huo Group, then you should go back to the Zhu Group. In the future, dad can only rely on is you."
Zhu Yuan's face froze, she never thought it would be such an answer.
"Dad, this is a rare opportunity in a thousand years." Zhu Yuan said coquettishly, "Look, now Zhu Jin can get so many honors by virtue of his position as a designer of Huo Group, so can I."
Zhu Chen hesitated.
Gao Weilan added on the side, "Yes. Achen, I'm not saying this, but Yuanyuan's academic performance has been good since she was a child, and her teachers have praised her. You also know this. Since Jinjin can do it, then Yuanyuan can do it too."
Zhu Chen pinched his eyebrows.
"The opportunities and connections you can get in Huo's are not available in other groups."
The customers that Huo came into contact with were basically wealthy families in Beijing, and most of them were even from the upper class.
Last time, when Zhu Chen attended the dinner party, he felt that many people came over to get close to him.
Later, I found out that at Mr. Huo's birthday party, Zhu Jin was authenticated by the Jian family, Song family and other families, and then introduced her to several other aristocratic families.
Mr. Huo's recognition also raised Zhu Jin's status in the hearts of others, and the Zhu family's status also rose accordingly.
However, since marrying into the Huo family, Zhu Jin is obviously not as obedient as before, which is also what annoys Zhu Chen.
If it were Zhu Yuan...
Zhu Chen's eyes fell on his little daughter, who was looking forward to it eagerly.
This little daughter whom I have put a lot of effort into since she was a child and who grew up in the palm of my hand is always very obedient.
Maybe, she can really help herself in the future.
"What do you need me to do?" Zhu Chen asked.
The joy in Zhu Yuan's eyes could not be concealed. She hurriedly sat on the other side of Zhu Chen, holding his arm and smiling brightly.
"Dad, I knew you were the best to me!"
"You, if I don't help you, what will happen if you go astray later?" Zhu Chen pretended to be helpless and shook his head, "Tell me what you want dad to do for you."
Zhu Yuan rolled her eyes and said, "Dad, isn't it your birthday this weekend? My sister hasn't been back for a long time. She will always come back to celebrate your birthday."
"She must have better information than me. I'll ask when the time comes to see if she knows about it."
