Chapter 391 Donate 5 to the museum and buy more than 1 works of famous artists

Xia Qingqing bought gold jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, and earrings for her mother-in-law, eldest sister, and three sisters-in-law. She bought Rolex watches for her three eldest brothers and father-in-law, and a watch suitable for outdoor activities for Shen Qiubai.

Everyone liked the gifts very much. That night, the Shen family had another large table and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After dinner, Xia Qingqing went to the Zhou family and gave gifts to the two elders on behalf of Zhou Cheng.

"How is Xiaocheng? Has he lost weight? He's a very picky person, I don't know how he's been living these years."

Aunt Zhou was so excited that she kept asking a lot of questions.

Although Uncle Zhou seemed calm, his red eyes showed that he also missed his son.

"Second brother is doing well. He said he will be back next year." Xia Qingqing said with a smile.

"He really said that?"

Aunt Zhou couldn't believe it. Two years ago, the second son said he would come back after getting his master's degree, but he ended up going on to study for a doctorate. She was so happy for nothing.

"Yes, this time it is absolutely true, the second brother is really coming back."

Xia Qingqing patted Aunt Zhou's hand and gave her reassurance with a smile.

"This kid finally decided to come back. Qingqing, do you know if he has found a partner?"

Aunt Zhou was very happy, but she was more concerned about her second son's personal affairs. The young men of the same age as her second son in the compound already had three children, but her second son was still a bachelor.

"Aunt, I'm not sure about this. I didn't ask my second brother."

Xia Qingqing shook her head. She really didn't know about Zhou Cheng's personal problems, and it was not convenient for her to ask.

Aunt Zhou sighed, "He definitely hasn't found one. This kid is so focused on his work that he's not in a hurry to find a partner. Never mind, let's wait until he comes back and find one."

Anyway, I'm already an older young person, so there's not much difference between looking for a partner this year and next year.

After leaving Zhou's house, Xia Qingqing went to Si's house and Chen's house to give gifts. She sat at each house for a while until it was late at night.

"Does my second sister-in-law have any relatives working in the Ministry of Culture?"

Before going to bed, Xia Qingqing asked around.

"My second sister-in-law's sister-in-law works in the Ministry of Culture."

Shen Qiubai had already taken off his clothes and was about to take a shower. His honey-colored muscular body made Xia Qingqing's mouth dry. She suspected that this man was deliberately seducing her.

"Why don't you go in the shower and take off your clothes first?"

Xia Qingqing turned her head away. She had to get a good rest tonight as the production team's donkey still had to take a few days off.

"It's not like you haven't seen it before."

Shen Qiubai smiled vaguely and went into the bathroom, and soon the sound of water was heard.

He took a quick shower, finishing in just a few minutes, and came out covered in steam, with water droplets rolling on his skin, which was a fatal temptation. However, Xia Qingqing didn't see it because she was on the phone.

Shen Qiubai was a little disappointed. He didn't wipe it on purpose just to tease his wife, but he ended up throwing his seductive glances at the blind man, and it was all in vain.

"Second sister-in-law, it's settled then. I'll go directly to the museum tomorrow and thank your sister-in-law for me."

Xia Qingqing hung up the phone with a smile on her face.

It's easier to get things done if you have connections in the government. The second sister-in-law called her brother's sister-in-law Chen Mei, who directly pointed her to the person in charge of the museum. There was indeed a batch of paintings for sale, and the cheapest one was only five yuan, but they couldn't find a buyer, and the museum was worried.

Xia Qingqing expressed her willingness to donate 500,000 yuan to the museum in her personal name. Chen Mei became even more motivated and immediately said that she would go to the museum in person tomorrow to make this happen.

"What do you mean so focused?"

A stream of water vapor blew over. Xia Qingqing looked up and saw a large expanse of luscious muscles. Shen Qiubai was naked and was seducing her again.

Xia Qingqing gritted her teeth, stretched out her claws, grabbed his flesh hard, and started to spin 360 degrees.

"Hiss...gently..."

Shen Qiubai took a breath and held down his cruel claws. He had fed his wife too much recently, so her strength increased.

Xia Qingqing snorted complacently, loosened her hand, and told the museum about buying paintings.

"There are more than 10,000 paintings, all of which are works by famous artists. They are sold at very low prices. I want to buy them all."

"Is the money enough?" Shen Qiubai asked.

"That's enough. I made a small fortune in Hong Kong. I also collected a painting by Tang Bohu. You don't know that Hong Kong is very keen on collecting. If the paintings in the museum were taken to Hong Kong, the price would definitely be much higher than this."

Xia Qingqing sighed as she spoke, saying that the 1980s was an important period of loss of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which was such a pity.

Shen Qiubai certainly knew that decades after he realized his dream, the economy had developed rapidly and antique collecting had become popular again. Some of the paintings that the museum was now selling at low prices were sold at sky-high prices of over 100 million yuan.

If Qingqing buys these paintings, it will be an immeasurable fortune in the future.

Since his wife is interested in antiques, calligraphy and paintings, he will pay more attention to them in the future. There may not be much else in Beijing, but there are quite a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

That night, Shen Qiubai did not make a fuss, and Xia Qingqing slept until dawn. She and Chen Mei had an appointment at nine in the morning. After breakfast, Shen Qiubai drove her to the museum.

Chen Mei had already arrived and was waiting at the door. Next to her was an old man wearing glasses. He was wearing a half-worn shirt with frayed cuffs and his glasses frames were covered with tape. At first glance, he looked very shabby. If he walked down the street, no one would know that he was the director of a museum and an important expert in the domestic archaeological community.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Xia Qingqing stretched out her hand and shook hands with Chen Mei and the old man one by one, and Shen Qiubai did the same.

"No, Director Liu and I came out early. Let's go inside and talk."

Chen Mei is very talkative. Although it is the first time she meets Xia Qingqing, she doesn't feel unfamiliar with him at all. She is a very versatile person who can get along with everyone.

Director Liu, however, seemed a little dull and was not good at interpersonal communication. He was only worried about the museum's funding. If he had the money, he would never have sold those paintings. He was reluctant to part with any of them.

But the museum had more important cultural relics to preserve, and everything required money, so he could only pick out a batch of modern paintings to sell and use the money to maintain more important cultural relics.

Ugh!

"In addition to donating half a million, I bought all the paintings that the museum sold. I brought all the money with me."

After arriving at Director Liu's office, Xia Qingqing stated her purpose directly.

Shen Qiubai took out two sacks full of money from the trunk of the car.

In fact, he was also shocked when Xia Qingqing took out so much money. Even the bank didn't have so much cash. But he didn't ask much. When the time came, Xia Qingqing would definitely tell him.

"Boom"

Shen Qiubai took out piles of money from the sack. The bank seals were still on them. They were all brand new Great Unity notes. One pile was ten thousand, and five hundred thousand made fifty piles, forming a mountain.

"This is half a million donated to the museum."

Xia Qingqing moved the mountain of money in front of Director Liu.

Chen Mei and Director Liu were both stunned. They had never seen so much money in their lives. They were stunned for a moment and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.

"You can't just donate so casually. You have to hold a donation ceremony and contact newspapers and TV stations. Five hundred thousand is not a small amount."

Chen Mei was the first to react and suggested making the ceremony more grand.

She thought Xia Qingqing made this suggestion because she wanted to become famous.

"Don't bother with that, Sister Chen. You will be responsible for the entire donation of 500,000 yuan. You can get media publicity, but you don't have to disclose my name."

Xia Qingqing didn't want to become famous through this, but she could attribute this donation to Chen Mei's political achievements. Five hundred thousand is indeed not a small amount, and it should allow Chen Mei to have a very beautiful year-end summary this year.
