My backyard leads to wilderness
Chapter 34
Zhong Ning is the second child at home, with a capable older brother named Zhong Li and a lovely younger sister named Zhong Shan.Dad doesn't expect Zhong Ning, an art student, to inherit the family business, and mother doesn't need Zhong Ning to act cute in front of her.Of course, Zhong Ning, who is neither capable nor cute, has no sense of presence at home.It belongs to the little transparent existence who doesn't even make a phone call for a month or two if he can't think of it.
In the past two years, Zhong Ning excused that he was too busy fighting outside, and he hadn't been home for a year, and Zhong's parents and parents didn't say anything.Anyway, during the entire Spring Festival, Zhong’s father and Zhong’s mother are all socializing at the annual party and party. When they rarely have a home, it doesn’t make much difference whether they go back to celebrate the New Year.
Zhong Ning prides himself that he is quite capable now, and he is not afraid of being compared to other people's children when he returns home, and he is not too old, not yet the age to urge marriage.This trip home, no stress at all!But when it comes to going home, you always have to bring a gift.
What gift would a billionaire like?After thinking about it for a while, Zhong Ning decided to bring a sculpture that he made by himself, which can not only show his professional skills developed in the past two years, but also give the old man something to talk about in front of his subordinates and partners.The old man Zhong, who gave him a good face, couldn't be more suitable.
Let’s take this unfinished Yiwan Railway!The old man of his family always carried an old-school businessman's thought of worrying about the country and the people, so this sculpture that can reflect the national strength of China must please him.
Thinking about it this way, Zhong Ning's hand in drawing design drafts became more refined.There is no way, when facing his own old man, Zhong Ning can't help being nervous, probably because of the aftereffects of always being delayed in his studies when he was a child, and being called too much by his parents.
After retreating in the room for a full 36 hours, Zhong Ning was finally satisfied with the design draft.
I spent 10 gold coins from the system mall to buy a piece of top-quality suet white jade with a side length of 80 centimeters. Zhong Ning chose to use the design drawing, and a white mist drifted away. As the white mist vaporized and then drifted away.
The white mist slowly dissipated, and the picture Zhong Ning drew on the blueprint instantly turned into a three-dimensional sculpture.
fine!Smart!Majestic!
I saw this sculpture of suet white jade, among the sky moats, ravines and dangerous peaks, a railway flies across the mountains.There is the breathtaking and dangerous scene of setting up the stone wall of Xishan Mountain and cutting off Wushan Mountain, and the domineering and mighty scene of a bridge flying from north to south, and the natural moat becomes a thoroughfare.
It is really not an exaggeration to describe this sculpture as extremely fine.This sculpture not only has the realistic and delicate texture of the marble sculptures in the Renaissance period, even the skin structure is fake, but also has the unity of form and spirit in Chinese sculptures born by accident and implication.
Zhong Ning asked himself that if he really wanted him to pick up a carving knife, he would definitely not be able to reach this level.Sometime, he might be able to try it himself without relying on the system.
After all, the system came suddenly, and he didn't know when it would suddenly disappear.If the system disappears, if he can't carve such works again, won't he be ridiculed for his exhaustion?Zhong Ning did not hope that this day would happen.
Thinking about it this way, Zhong Ning casually picked up a piece of blemish Xiuyu that was bought in the Tibetan Hongzhai before to practice his hand.In the antique market, among other things, the 100-yuan small Buddha statues and Avalokitesvara statues of jade carvings are definitely the fastest-selling existence.These small pendants are the most proficient carvings of Zhong Ning, but it is inevitable to carve more than one thing.
Da Vinci painted eggs and said that no egg is the same; Maitreya Buddha is of course the same, everyone's Buddha should be different.
Thinking in this way, various images of Maitreya Buddha appeared in Zhong Ning's mind. There is an image of a big-bellied Laughing Buddha in Chinese Buddhism. Sometimes roaming among the sea of clouds, sometimes playing with children, with the Buddha-like nature; there is also a handsome and unrestrained image of Maitreya Bodhisattva in ancient India. Yingluo's precious appearance is solemn, quiet and serene.
Because Zhong Ning's hand strength is much stronger at the moment, when he carved this
When nephrite jade comes, it is like cutting gold like mud, without any hindrance.The real hands move freely, the hands and eyes are united, and you can carve whatever you want.
Carving and carving, Zhong Ning gradually immersed himself in it, and entered a mysterious and mysterious realm.To describe it in the language of literature, it should probably be called the realm of selflessness.
His subordinates kept moving, but the piece of jade in Zhong Ning's hand seemed to have life.That Maitreya's eyes are agile, and his clothes follow the wind, as if he has been enlightened by an eminent monk, and a ray of spiritual thoughts has been divided into it by the real god, and he has divinity.
A gust of cool wind blew, and Zhong Ning woke up from that mysterious realm.
Seeing the buddha statue that was about to take shape in his hands, Zhong Ning was startled.
It turns out that this is the feeling of the so-called breakthrough!
Taking advantage of the hand feel, Zhong Ning hurriedly bought a good material of suet white jade from the system, and sculpted four or five images of the pendant that appeared in his mind in an instant.He didn't stop carving until he felt that the realm he had just broken through had stabilized.
With a long breath, Zhong Ning laughed out loud.How cool is this feeling!Like a glass of ice-cold Sprite on a hot summer day; like a roller coaster reaching the highest point and suddenly diving down; like a glass of clear spring obtained by a dying person in a sea of sand!
Suddenly the world wide open!
After thinking about it, Zhong Ning wrapped up the few mutton fat jade pendants he had just carved, one piece for each of his parents, brother and sister, without partiality.
Just when the last piece of pendant in Zhongning's hand was finished, the system prompt that suddenly appeared in his ear gave him a new surprise:
Congratulations to the host for achieving a new achievement - "Master Sculptor", rewarding 1 point of energy stone.
Another new achievement!Zhong Ning almost jumped up from the workbench.
As mentioned above, Zhong Ning is a person who can't save money. After getting energy stones, he naturally began to think about how to spend them.
When picking herbs before, Zhong Ning fell in love with the Tongqiao Pill that can enhance the five senses.At this time, if you have a power stone, of course you can exchange it immediately!
According to the system's consistent behavior, if you successfully exchange the pill, you will get three things.A finished Tongqiao Pill, a Dan Fang, and a map of the origin of the Dan medicine on the Dan Fang.
After Zhong Ning exchanged decisively, the expected three items fell into Zhong Ning's hands.Resolutely stuffing the finished elixir into his mouth, Zhong Ning only felt a fresh air of grass and trees flow down his throat and go straight into his stomach.The system prompts that his five senses have permanently added 5 attribute points.In an instant, Zhong Ning felt that the whole world seemed to have changed!
He can clearly see the vibration frequency of a fruit fly's wings 5 meters away in the room; he can smell that the peaches placed on the table 5 meters away seem to be a bit rotten, so he attracts the fruit flies to come; Listening carefully, Zhong Ning could even clearly hear Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law in the antique shop next door complaining that Lao Zhang's speed was too fast, which made her finish before she felt anything; After touching the pendant, Zhong Ning could clearly feel that one of the carved corners was not handled delicately enough!He raised the teacup on the table and took a sip of the tea. The bitter taste in his mouth was amplified. He could clearly feel the flavor of the tea that was not naturally produced.No wonder so many people said that the quality of the tea he bought was not good!
After pouring out the tea in the cup along with the tea leaves, Zhong Ning took another cup of mineral water and took two gulps, only then did he feel that his poisoned tongue was much better.
Zhong Ning never knew that the improvement of the five senses could bring him such a miraculous experience!What's more, he didn't know that there was such a wonderful place that he had never noticed before!The improvement of the five senses almost changed Zhong Ning's way of looking at the world.
However, it seems that it is not a good thing to over-enhance the five senses. Can you imagine the feeling of always hearing the voices of people on the other side of the street?You must not even be able to sleep, right?In the same way, if the sense of touch is too sensitive, people will not even be able to bear the pain of a slight bump. How will they go into the wilderness in the future?How to fight desperately with the beast?
From this point of view, the effect of a Tongqiao Pill is the most suitable for Zhong Ning at the moment.
Since there is no second refining
With the idea of Qiaowan, Zhong Ning didn't pay more attention to the distribution of its raw materials.
Gently put two pieces of rice paper into a box specially used to put Danfang wine recipes, and stuffed the box into the space ring.Zhong Ning began to use his newly improved sense of vision and touch to redecorate the four pendants that were going to be given to his family until he could no longer feel the slightest flaw.
Now that the presents are all ready, Zhong Ning wants to go home even more, and doesn't even want to wait a second longer!Because Zhong Ning still had to carry the suet white jade sculpture named "Tongtian Avenue" by Zhong Ning, and it was inconvenient to take the train and plane, Zhong Ning decided to stuff it directly into the space ring and drive back by himself!Anyway, Nanshan City is not very far from S City, and it's only a day's drive away!
After driving his red Beetle, Zhong Ning went to the gas station to fill up the gas, and on the highway, Zhong Ning remembered that he forgot to say hello to Feng Linhai.
After driving another [-] to [-] kilometers, when passing a rest area, Zhong Ning called Feng Linhai and told him that he had something to do and he went to City S first, and asked Feng Linhai to make an appointment with Tianqi Just tell him after the time.He went directly from S City, so he would definitely not delay the meeting.
Feng Linhai agreed directly upon hearing the words, but didn't ask anything.Zhong Ning thought that Feng Linhai was calm enough, he wasn't afraid that he would go to City S in advance, and directly connect with Tianqi, and let him out?
But looking back, Zhong Ning understood a little bit.Since Feng Linhai didn't ask, he must have the confidence not to ask.For example, his relationship with Tianqi Company must be so strong that he will not kidnap Feng Linhai; for example, before he cooperated with Zhong Ning, he must have investigated Zhong Ning thoroughly, so how could he not know? Zhong Ning's house is in S City?
No wonder Zhong Li always says that he is simple-minded!Is not very smart.
35 go home! a exploded Zhong Ning
Zhong Ning went home this time without telling anyone in advance.After entering the boundary of City S, he remembered to call Zhong Li.Because it is very likely that there will be no one in the Zhong family mansion at this time.
At 3:[-] p.m., the three workaholics in the family were assigned to go to work, and the younger sister volunteered to go to Vienna to study music and was not at home.
It's really meaningless for him to go back to the empty house without his family.Go directly to the office building of Zhong's Group without saying hello?kidding me!Absolutely being stunned by the girl at the front desk in the lobby.Is the chairman of Zhongda so easy to meet?Hmm... General Manager Zhong doesn't even want to see him without an appointment.
"Zhong Ning? Why did you remember to call me? You don't have enough money?" Zhong Li's domineering president Fan Er's deep voice came along the airwaves.
"There are still a few million." Zhong Ning replied with a smile: "Come to S City to do business, and go home to have a look. Are you and your parents at the company? I'll go find you!"
"They're all here, come here. About how long will it take?" Zhong Li said, there was actually a meeting to be held in 10 minutes, but he couldn't bear to say no to his younger brother who hadn't seen him for two or three years.
"We have entered the outer ring now. There is no traffic jam at this time. It should take half an hour at most." Zhong Ning said, and the little red beetle passed another green light. It seems that I have never encountered a red light, and I am about to take off smoothly.
"Okay, I'll say hello to the front desk, and you can come to me directly on the 19th floor." Zhong Li said.
"No, bro, come down and pick me up. I'm holding something, and that thing is quite heavy." Zhong Ning said, it's such a big rock, it's not very heavy.
"I'll call you a security guard!" Zhong Li hung up the phone after finishing speaking, but his tone sounded a little impatient.
Zhong Ning glanced at the phone that was hung up, and clicked his tongue, what a temper!It's really like Lao Zhong.
Sure enough, the green light all the way to the Zhongshi Group Building, Zhong Ning took out the jade carving from the space ring and put it on the back seat.As soon as he got out of the car, a security guard with a familiar face ran over to pick him up.
"Mr. Zhong Xiao! You are very fast. General Manager Zhong said that you will arrive in about ten minutes!" The security guard greeted Zhong Ning enthusiastically.
"Mr. Zhong is Mr. Zhong, do
Well, I need to add a small letter.Brother Wang, you have been transferred to the headquarters! Zhong Ning frantically searched in his mind, and finally remembered that this somewhat familiar security guard was the gatekeeper of Zhong Ning's community property, and the property company of Zhong Ning's community happened to be the same property company as Zhong's Group.
"I also want to thank Mr. Zhong for his trust." The security guard surnamed Wang said to Zhong Ning, seeing that Zhong Ning was bending over to open the door and move the co-pilot's seat, he hurried over to help.Mr. Xiao Zhong explained that Mr. Zhong Xiao brought things over and asked him to help move them.
Seeing him helping Zhong Ning move the co-pilot of the little beetle away, and looking at the back seat of the car, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh! What a beautiful jade carving, it's not small! It's so precious I can’t move the things that I have by myself. Mr. Zhong Xiao, please wait here for a while, and I’ll get someone to come.”
Zhong Ning waved his hand and quickly stopped him, saying: "No need, I can just move it by myself. This thing is important, but it's actually okay."
He called Zhong Li before and asked him to come down to help him move things, just as a joke.He is now so strong that he can lift a cow, so he doesn't need help from others.Besides, he knew what he carved, it was so delicate!The thinnest part of the pine needles running water on the rocks is less than one millimeter, and there is no room for any bumps.He really doesn't feel relieved to let others move it!
"Brother Wang, just open the way for me and don't let anyone touch me." Zhongning said, leaning in, holding the base of the jade carved Hainan huanghuali with both hands, and took the things lightly and skillfully. come out.
Wang Baoan saw that Zhong Ning really did not bother to hold the huge jade carving, which was [-] or [-] centimeters long, and he also believed his statement that the object was not too heavy, so he rushed ahead of Zhong Ning to open the way.
"Give way! Make way! Hey, Minister Zhang, I'm sorry, please lean to the side first, don't bump into it!" Wang Baoan dutifully isolated the passing employees of Zhong's Group along the way One meter away from Zhongning.
This battle was not insignificant, and the Zhong employees who were isolated outside could not help but stretch their necks, staring at Zhong Ning and the things in his hands very curiously, guessing which cooperation unit sent them over again , it looks so delicate and magnificent!An old employee who had worked in Zhong's for seven or eight years recognized Zhong Ning, and began to popularize science with the newcomers next to him. This seemed to be the second son of the boss's family, Yunyun.
When Zhong Ning was about to reach the entrance of the single-floor elevator, the door of the double-floor elevator next to him suddenly opened.A girl with ponytails covered her mouth crying and rushed out, and in the blink of an eye, she bumped into the pine needles of a welcoming pine protruding from the steepest mountain in Zhongning's hand.
It was too late and then too soon, Zhong Ning stepped sideways and turned around, the girl still inevitably bumped into the jade carving.Zhong Ning had no choice but to move the jade carving far away with one hand, and with the other hand, taking advantage of the girl's rushing momentum, he picked up the back collar of her shirt, picked up the person like a kitten, and turned around half a circle , and gently placed it on the corner of the elevator front room.
"Wow - cool!"
"Handsome!"
"Master Zhong is so strong!"
"A burst!"
……
The elevator opened, and of course the girl wasn't the only one who got off.Zhong Ning's actions were exposed to the eyes of everyone in the elevator and lobby, and there were constant exclamations.
Wang Baoan stared dumbfounded at Zhong Ning's flamboyant manipulation of a jade carving that was half a meter high in one hand and a big girl in the other. He really didn't know whether to believe Zhong Ning's claim that the jade carving was really unsinkable, or doubt that Zhong Ning's strength was really great It doesn't take much effort to carry a big living person with one hand.
Then look at the appearance of Zhongning's thin arms and legs, and sigh that he is really a person who can't be judged by his appearance!
Zhong Ning wanted to get angry, but seeing the girl's face full of lingering fear, pear blossoms with rain on her face, who wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, she couldn't help but lighten her tone, and said, "Be careful, the pine needles on this jade carving It is very sharp, if you hit it, you will go straight to the hospital!"
"Thanks... hiccup... thank you." While crying, she was startled again, and the girl started to hiccup as expected.
"You're welcome." Zhong Ning smiled, and hugged the jade carving back into his arms in a very precious way.
Fuck!Almost dropped tens of millions just now!
Zhong Ning was calm on the surface, but in fact he was terrified in his heart. The material fee of 10 gold coins is very expensive!He would have to chop down trees for days to earn it back!
Besides, if he really dropped the baby in his arms, he might not be able to draw another design as vivid as this Tongtian Dao.
At this time, the elevator next to the odd-numbered floors came down, and Zhong Ning turned around and entered the elevator without hesitation.There were a lot of people waiting in the elevator room, but no one who had no vision wanted to squeeze an elevator with Zhong Ning.Didn't you see the frightened expression on the face of the security captain next to him?The thing that the young master is holding in his hand must be very expensive!
Thinking of this, everyone glanced at the side in unison.The clerk in the finance department, who had just arrived at the post for less than a month, was staring at the closed elevator door with a pink face, and a young girl Huai Chun.
Tsk~ Newcomers who have just set foot in the society love to fantasize.The young master of the Zhong family, is that someone who can covet casually?
36 The second young master of the domineering president's family
On the other side, Zhong Ning took the elevator all the way up, the middle elevator stopped several times, but everyone saw that Zhong Ning was holding a big guy in his hands, they all agreed not to get on the elevator, please Zhong Ning go first.
Soon, the 19th floor arrived.Then Wang Baoan saw that Zhong Ning, who was holding a large living person with one hand without any effort just now, turned into sister Lin in an instant, and shouted at the general manager's office while pretending that he couldn't move anymore:
"Brother! Brother! Come and help me, I can't move anymore!"
I believe you ghost Yo!Young master, don't trick me!Wang Baoan's face turned pale with shock.Just now the general manager asked him to go down to help Mr. Zhong Xiao carry things, but then he actually let the young master carry things up by himself.It is conceivable that tomorrow he should pack up and leave.
Wang Baoan was thinking about it richly, when he saw Zhong Ning holding the jade carving in one hand, he still had the strength to free one hand and waved it at him, signaling Wang Baoan to come quickly and pretend to help share half of the weight.
Wang Baoan, who had a strong desire to survive, understood in seconds, and rushed to Zhong Ning before the general manager came out, and helped him lift a corner of the jade carving.
It doesn't matter if he takes over, Wang Baoan, who was not mentally prepared, was almost crushed by this jade carving.Fuck!Mr. Zhong Xiao was holding this thing with one hand just now?What a natural strange power!
"Brother! Brother! Come out!" Zhong Ning continued to shout loudly.
The door of the general manager's room was still closed, but the small conference room next to it opened in response, and it was not Mr. Xiao Zhong who couldn't get out, but Mr. Zhong, who was followed by a group of marketing directors, financial directors, and planning directors... ... a group of senior leaders of the company.His own brother stood beside his father, winking at Zhong Ning with gloating face.
"What are you talking about! How grown-up are you?" Mr. Zhong reprimanded with a straight face.
In a blink of an eye, he noticed the things in Zhongning's hands, and said, "Put the things on the ground first if you can't carry them anymore."
Brother tricked me!Zhong Ning yelled in his heart, exchanged a glance with Wang Baoan, and obeyed obediently.
"What is this thing, why did you move the company?" Father Zhong asked, pointing to the jade carving on the ground.
"I carved some small things myself, and brought them here to look good on your desk." Zhong Ning said, he knew how to speak to please his father.
"Oh? For me?" Zhong's father heard the words, and he came over with great interest, helped the reading glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, and carefully examined the piece that Zhong Ning said he carved "by himself". little things.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, Zhong's father discovered that this "little thing" was actually carved from a whole piece of top-quality suet white jade!And this carving is so fine that he has never seen in his life!Father Zhong has lived in his 60s, and he has never seen such a sculpture that can depict the texture of the mountain rock so realistically, let alone such a sculpture that is so fine that even the pine needles as thick as a hair are finely polished, as if restored in equal proportions. Really loose.
"This...was really carved by you yourself?" Zhong's father asked suspiciously. It's not that Zhong's father didn't believe in his son's level, but that such a carver and such materials can't be called a national treasure!Not seen for more than two years, his youngest son lives in
Has it grown to such an extent?
"It's not your son, why don't you go all over China to find someone who can carve this thing for me?" Zhong Ning said arrogantly.What he said was somewhat secondary, but Zhong Ning was too lazy to be modest in front of his father.Modesty is useless, Zhong's father will think that Zhong Ning is guilty instead.
Father Zhong didn't say he believed it or didn't believe it. Instead, he said, "I spent a lot of money on the raw materials, right? Do you still have any money?"
"There are still several million. But if you are always willing to give it, I will not refuse." Zhong Ning said with a smile.
Zhong's father raised his hand and gave Zhong Ning a headache, then turned to the financial director next to him and said, "Director Yang, go back and transfer 300 million to Zhong Ning's account."
300 million, maybe not even one-third of this raw mutton fat jade.But it's like the son carrying big and small bags of chicken, duck and fish back home to visit his old father. Before leaving, the old father ordered a bag of pastries to take back.
"Zhong Ning, since it's a gift for me, why are you moving to the 19th floor? Why don't you hurry up and move me upstairs again." Zhong's father looked at Zhong Ning with a look on his face, road.
"I'm afraid of disturbing your work, so I'll come here to rest for a while." Zhong Ning explained in a half-coquettish tone, and then asked: "Then I'll move in? Is your office open?"
Father Zhong nodded, and said: "It's open, you can just move it up and find a free space where you want to put it."
So, the big bosses of the company who had a meeting just now looked at the young master who was still yelling and couldn't move just now, as if he was holding the same volume of foam plastic, and lightly hugged the jade carving into his arms. Even without using the elevator, he walked briskly up the stairs to the chairman's office on the 20th floor.
As soon as Zhong Ning's figure disappeared around the corner, all the directors who had remained silent just now started flattering Lao Zhong.
"You are so young and promising! This carver is not much better than those master carvers who receive state subsidies." This is the marketing director who has some research on carving.
"I haven't seen you in two or three years, Xiao Ning is handsome again! He looks like his mother when he was young, Jun!" This is Aunt Shen, the deputy director of finance who watched Zhong Ning grow up, Zhong's mother's confidant general.
"Such a valuable thing can be given away as soon as you say it, the second son has a filial piety!" This is the company's most well-mannered planning director.
Lao Zhong was very comfortable with this flattery, and his mood improved a lot. With a big wave of his hand, the plan discussed in the meeting just now was passed. Go back and improve the implementation details before sending it for a look.
For a moment, the entire 19th floor felt like everyone was happy.
That's why Zhong Ning insisted on moving the things to the Zhong's Group building with his own hands. Lao Zhong has a good face!Of course, it only refers to the face of the children's future.When Zhong Ning was a child, Zhong Ning got a perfect score in the language test, and Lao Zhong had to show off everywhere, not to mention that Zhong Ning is so generous now that he is giving him rare sculptures made by himself.
On the other side, Zhong Ning, who went upstairs with his things in his arms, gently pushed open the door of Zhong's father's office. The inside was as simple and plain as ever.A desk, a group of mahogany sofas and matching tea tables for banquets, and a cabinet full of files against the wall are all.
There is really no extra table, no wonder Lao Zhong asked him to find an open space to put his things down first!
After finding a place where no one would come and go and put down the jade carving, Zhong Ning went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and planned to go down to the financial office on the 18th floor to find his mother.Zhong's mother was born in a professional class, with many titles such as certified public accountant and senior auditor, and is the chief financial officer of Zhong's Group.A woman with real power in her hands, she won't let go, even if Father Zhong, the chairman, nods, she won't want to take a penny from the company's account.Of course, Zhong's mother is usually a husband and wife, and she is very supportive of Zhong's father's work.
37 The tough mother-in-law
When Zhongning went downstairs, Zhong's mother had already received a tip-off from the eldest son.She finished the work at hand as soon as possible, and waited for Zhongning to come to her.Although Zhong Ning is not the most favored one in the family, but that mother does not want her
flesh and blood!What's more, Zhong Ning, a little heartless, would not go home for two or three years after he left.
"I heard that you gave your father a jade carving?" As soon as they met, before Zhong Ning could speak, Zhong's mother said this to Zhong Ning.
Just as Zhong Ning wanted to give his mother a warm hug, he heard this lemony question.Zhong Ning was so frightened on the spot, it's terrible!I forgot to prepare a special gift for my mother.
The eyeballs rolled around, and Zhong Ning spoke with great desire to survive, and said: "My jade carving is for Zhong's Group, and it is for my father alone! As for the gift for you, I will give it to you. How could I forget!"
Saying this, Zhong Ning took out the mutton fat jade pendant that had been prepared in advance from the interspatial ring under the cover of his pocket, and took it out, and said to Zhong's mother: "Here~ Mom, there are four yuan in total, I'll pick it for you first! "
The material of this jade pendant is better than the jade of the Tongtian Avenue sculpture just now, the texture is extremely fine and moist, and the luster is like condensed sheep oil.
Compared with Zhong's father, who didn't have much research on jewelry and gems, Zhong's mother had a much better vision for these things, and she could tell the difference of these jade pendants at a glance.
It is becoming more and more difficult to buy these years. Needless to say, the top-quality jade that can only be bought by looking for a relationship.But the unique design and exquisite carving of this pendant cannot be easily designed and produced by the so-called senior designers of ordinary jewelry companies.
A carver of this quality usually has to come to the door to "seek".Please those masters who are well-known in the national department and receiving state subsidies make tailor-made.If you spend money and pay favors, people won't even care about you!
Everyone knows that those talented artists are the most arrogant, there is no way, they have the ability!
Zhong's mother was famous for her tall stature in the circle of noble ladies in S City, so of course she would not save her face to ask for this kind of jewelry.All her jewelry was bought off-the-shelf in the jewelry store. Although it was not the best, it was enough.With her status, naturally, no one would speak sarcastic remarks about her without eyes.Now that her son has such a "master" skill, why not make her happy.
Looking around on the four jade pendants, Zhong's mother picked out a Pixiu and said, "I'm in charge of finances, so take a Pixiu to attract wealth!"
Zhong Ning really didn't expect that his mother would choose that Pixiu, because compared to the three Shangshanruoshui Pendant, Hundred Flowers Piercing Butterfly Pendant, Dragon and Phoenix and Ming Pendant next to it, it is really too masculine.Zhong Ning originally prepared this Pixiu for his elder brother, wishing him a lot of money.
Zhong Ning thought this way, and before he could open his mouth to try to shake his mother's mind, Zhong's mother began to distribute again: "Give the dragon and phoenix and Ming pendant to your brother, and let him keep it for the girl he likes; the butterfly pendant with hundreds of flowers is beautiful. , suitable for a little girl like your sister; as for your father, doesn’t he usually like to read the Tao Te Ching? Just give him this “Shang Shan Ru Shui.”
Come on, which pendant is assigned to everyone, what else can Zhong Ning say?Of course it is done!
After assigning the pendant's ownership, Zhong's mother noticed the extra space ring on Zhong Ning's right middle finger.He narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, "Xiao Ning, why did you remember to wear the ring? It's just an ordinary copper ring. Which girl gave it to you?"
"No! Mom, where do you want to go! I made this ring myself. I don't go out all day. Where can someone give it to me? And mom, this is not an ordinary copper ring. Look at the colored glaze on it. Patterns!" Zhong Ning raised the ring to his mother's eyes, and showed her the magic pattern on the interspatial ring: "It takes a lot of energy to perfectly melt this colored glaze into the copper!"
Mother Zhong took a closer look, and she really saw circles of mysterious colored glaze patterns in the ring body.
The suspicion in Mother Zhong's heart was not dispelled, and she smelled an erratic fragrance from Zhong Ning's hand that was held in front of her eyes, and it smelled really good.
The youngest son, who has always been carefree and unkempt, is wearing perfume?And you said you weren't in love?Liar!
But Zhong's mother is not a mother who wants to control her children too much, so the younger son doesn't want to talk about it.No matter what kind of girl she is, if she wants to enter Zhong's house, she will have to wait
Or later, after all, I have to meet my mother-in-law first.Zhong Ning is unwilling to tell him now, maybe he hasn't established a relationship with that girl yet!
"Why are you willing to come back this time?" Zhong's mother asked.
"In two days, my Tianqi company will have an auction, and I have something to put up for auction." Zhong Ning confessed truthfully.
"Something similar to giving to the Zhong family?" Zhong's mother asked, what good things can Zhong Ning have that can be sold at the auction?It's nothing more than something related to sculpture.
"Not the same, right? But the value should be about the same." Zhong Ning hesitated for a while and said.The item hasn't been sold yet, and to be honest, he doesn't know how much he can sell it for.
"Have we finished talking with Tianqi? Our family has a little friendship with Tianqi. If we haven't talked about it yet, let your brother go with you. At least you won't suffer." Zhong's mother said a little worriedly, in her heart , Zhong Ning always seems to have not grown up.She doesn't want to be like Zhong Li, she is an adult, no matter what she does, it makes her feel at ease.
"We haven't talked yet. In the past two days, we have made an appointment with Tianqi's palm eye to watch things. Mom, don't worry, I have found a reliable connector." Zhong Ning said.
"It's better to let your brother stay with you." Zhong's mother said.
Zhong Ning thought for a while and nodded in agreement.Although he felt that Feng Linhai had already contacted him, his brother would not do better than Feng Linhai.
The mother and son sat together and chatted for a while, and it was time for dinner.Zhong's father and Zhong Li had to work overtime at night, and the first meal after the family reunion was simply eaten in the company's employee restaurant.
Zhong Ning's mouth has been spoiled by the delicious food in the wilderness these days, and he has just improved his five senses, his tongue is extremely picky, how could he get used to working meals in the staff restaurant.After barely drinking half a bowl of millet porridge, Zhong Ning couldn't hold down half a mouthful of rice anymore.
Seeing Zhong Ning seeming to suppress his nausea while eating, Zhong's father couldn't stand it anymore.The staff restaurant of Zhong's Group has always been famous for its rich and delicious dishes. There are more than 2000 employees in a building, including himself, who eat in the canteen every day and always feel that it is very good. Why does Zhongning look like he can't swallow it when he comes!
I'm used to some problems!Zhong's father gave Zhong Ning a ten-minute political lesson on this matter, and finally came to a conclusion that he was just hungry, and gave him three meals to see if Zhong Ning was still picky.
In the end, it was Zhong's mother who felt sorry for her son, and secretly ordered a very delicate takeaway for Zhong Ning from a nearby five-star hotel.Responding to Zhong's father, he said: "Now that life is better, if I go back to remember the bitterness and think about the sweetness, and live the days of eating bran and swallowing vegetables, am I sick?"
Men in city S are afraid of their wives. It's a tradition. Zhong's mother has said so. If Zhong's father wants to use his father's status to continue to teach Zhongning,
In the past two years, Zhong Ning excused that he was too busy fighting outside, and he hadn't been home for a year, and Zhong's parents and parents didn't say anything.Anyway, during the entire Spring Festival, Zhong’s father and Zhong’s mother are all socializing at the annual party and party. When they rarely have a home, it doesn’t make much difference whether they go back to celebrate the New Year.
Zhong Ning prides himself that he is quite capable now, and he is not afraid of being compared to other people's children when he returns home, and he is not too old, not yet the age to urge marriage.This trip home, no stress at all!But when it comes to going home, you always have to bring a gift.
What gift would a billionaire like?After thinking about it for a while, Zhong Ning decided to bring a sculpture that he made by himself, which can not only show his professional skills developed in the past two years, but also give the old man something to talk about in front of his subordinates and partners.The old man Zhong, who gave him a good face, couldn't be more suitable.
Let’s take this unfinished Yiwan Railway!The old man of his family always carried an old-school businessman's thought of worrying about the country and the people, so this sculpture that can reflect the national strength of China must please him.
Thinking about it this way, Zhong Ning's hand in drawing design drafts became more refined.There is no way, when facing his own old man, Zhong Ning can't help being nervous, probably because of the aftereffects of always being delayed in his studies when he was a child, and being called too much by his parents.
After retreating in the room for a full 36 hours, Zhong Ning was finally satisfied with the design draft.
I spent 10 gold coins from the system mall to buy a piece of top-quality suet white jade with a side length of 80 centimeters. Zhong Ning chose to use the design drawing, and a white mist drifted away. As the white mist vaporized and then drifted away.
The white mist slowly dissipated, and the picture Zhong Ning drew on the blueprint instantly turned into a three-dimensional sculpture.
fine!Smart!Majestic!
I saw this sculpture of suet white jade, among the sky moats, ravines and dangerous peaks, a railway flies across the mountains.There is the breathtaking and dangerous scene of setting up the stone wall of Xishan Mountain and cutting off Wushan Mountain, and the domineering and mighty scene of a bridge flying from north to south, and the natural moat becomes a thoroughfare.
It is really not an exaggeration to describe this sculpture as extremely fine.This sculpture not only has the realistic and delicate texture of the marble sculptures in the Renaissance period, even the skin structure is fake, but also has the unity of form and spirit in Chinese sculptures born by accident and implication.
Zhong Ning asked himself that if he really wanted him to pick up a carving knife, he would definitely not be able to reach this level.Sometime, he might be able to try it himself without relying on the system.
After all, the system came suddenly, and he didn't know when it would suddenly disappear.If the system disappears, if he can't carve such works again, won't he be ridiculed for his exhaustion?Zhong Ning did not hope that this day would happen.
Thinking about it this way, Zhong Ning casually picked up a piece of blemish Xiuyu that was bought in the Tibetan Hongzhai before to practice his hand.In the antique market, among other things, the 100-yuan small Buddha statues and Avalokitesvara statues of jade carvings are definitely the fastest-selling existence.These small pendants are the most proficient carvings of Zhong Ning, but it is inevitable to carve more than one thing.
Da Vinci painted eggs and said that no egg is the same; Maitreya Buddha is of course the same, everyone's Buddha should be different.
Thinking in this way, various images of Maitreya Buddha appeared in Zhong Ning's mind. There is an image of a big-bellied Laughing Buddha in Chinese Buddhism. Sometimes roaming among the sea of clouds, sometimes playing with children, with the Buddha-like nature; there is also a handsome and unrestrained image of Maitreya Bodhisattva in ancient India. Yingluo's precious appearance is solemn, quiet and serene.
Because Zhong Ning's hand strength is much stronger at the moment, when he carved this
When nephrite jade comes, it is like cutting gold like mud, without any hindrance.The real hands move freely, the hands and eyes are united, and you can carve whatever you want.
Carving and carving, Zhong Ning gradually immersed himself in it, and entered a mysterious and mysterious realm.To describe it in the language of literature, it should probably be called the realm of selflessness.
His subordinates kept moving, but the piece of jade in Zhong Ning's hand seemed to have life.That Maitreya's eyes are agile, and his clothes follow the wind, as if he has been enlightened by an eminent monk, and a ray of spiritual thoughts has been divided into it by the real god, and he has divinity.
A gust of cool wind blew, and Zhong Ning woke up from that mysterious realm.
Seeing the buddha statue that was about to take shape in his hands, Zhong Ning was startled.
It turns out that this is the feeling of the so-called breakthrough!
Taking advantage of the hand feel, Zhong Ning hurriedly bought a good material of suet white jade from the system, and sculpted four or five images of the pendant that appeared in his mind in an instant.He didn't stop carving until he felt that the realm he had just broken through had stabilized.
With a long breath, Zhong Ning laughed out loud.How cool is this feeling!Like a glass of ice-cold Sprite on a hot summer day; like a roller coaster reaching the highest point and suddenly diving down; like a glass of clear spring obtained by a dying person in a sea of sand!
Suddenly the world wide open!
After thinking about it, Zhong Ning wrapped up the few mutton fat jade pendants he had just carved, one piece for each of his parents, brother and sister, without partiality.
Just when the last piece of pendant in Zhongning's hand was finished, the system prompt that suddenly appeared in his ear gave him a new surprise:
Congratulations to the host for achieving a new achievement - "Master Sculptor", rewarding 1 point of energy stone.
Another new achievement!Zhong Ning almost jumped up from the workbench.
As mentioned above, Zhong Ning is a person who can't save money. After getting energy stones, he naturally began to think about how to spend them.
When picking herbs before, Zhong Ning fell in love with the Tongqiao Pill that can enhance the five senses.At this time, if you have a power stone, of course you can exchange it immediately!
According to the system's consistent behavior, if you successfully exchange the pill, you will get three things.A finished Tongqiao Pill, a Dan Fang, and a map of the origin of the Dan medicine on the Dan Fang.
After Zhong Ning exchanged decisively, the expected three items fell into Zhong Ning's hands.Resolutely stuffing the finished elixir into his mouth, Zhong Ning only felt a fresh air of grass and trees flow down his throat and go straight into his stomach.The system prompts that his five senses have permanently added 5 attribute points.In an instant, Zhong Ning felt that the whole world seemed to have changed!
He can clearly see the vibration frequency of a fruit fly's wings 5 meters away in the room; he can smell that the peaches placed on the table 5 meters away seem to be a bit rotten, so he attracts the fruit flies to come; Listening carefully, Zhong Ning could even clearly hear Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law in the antique shop next door complaining that Lao Zhang's speed was too fast, which made her finish before she felt anything; After touching the pendant, Zhong Ning could clearly feel that one of the carved corners was not handled delicately enough!He raised the teacup on the table and took a sip of the tea. The bitter taste in his mouth was amplified. He could clearly feel the flavor of the tea that was not naturally produced.No wonder so many people said that the quality of the tea he bought was not good!
After pouring out the tea in the cup along with the tea leaves, Zhong Ning took another cup of mineral water and took two gulps, only then did he feel that his poisoned tongue was much better.
Zhong Ning never knew that the improvement of the five senses could bring him such a miraculous experience!What's more, he didn't know that there was such a wonderful place that he had never noticed before!The improvement of the five senses almost changed Zhong Ning's way of looking at the world.
However, it seems that it is not a good thing to over-enhance the five senses. Can you imagine the feeling of always hearing the voices of people on the other side of the street?You must not even be able to sleep, right?In the same way, if the sense of touch is too sensitive, people will not even be able to bear the pain of a slight bump. How will they go into the wilderness in the future?How to fight desperately with the beast?
From this point of view, the effect of a Tongqiao Pill is the most suitable for Zhong Ning at the moment.
Since there is no second refining
With the idea of Qiaowan, Zhong Ning didn't pay more attention to the distribution of its raw materials.
Gently put two pieces of rice paper into a box specially used to put Danfang wine recipes, and stuffed the box into the space ring.Zhong Ning began to use his newly improved sense of vision and touch to redecorate the four pendants that were going to be given to his family until he could no longer feel the slightest flaw.
Now that the presents are all ready, Zhong Ning wants to go home even more, and doesn't even want to wait a second longer!Because Zhong Ning still had to carry the suet white jade sculpture named "Tongtian Avenue" by Zhong Ning, and it was inconvenient to take the train and plane, Zhong Ning decided to stuff it directly into the space ring and drive back by himself!Anyway, Nanshan City is not very far from S City, and it's only a day's drive away!
After driving his red Beetle, Zhong Ning went to the gas station to fill up the gas, and on the highway, Zhong Ning remembered that he forgot to say hello to Feng Linhai.
After driving another [-] to [-] kilometers, when passing a rest area, Zhong Ning called Feng Linhai and told him that he had something to do and he went to City S first, and asked Feng Linhai to make an appointment with Tianqi Just tell him after the time.He went directly from S City, so he would definitely not delay the meeting.
Feng Linhai agreed directly upon hearing the words, but didn't ask anything.Zhong Ning thought that Feng Linhai was calm enough, he wasn't afraid that he would go to City S in advance, and directly connect with Tianqi, and let him out?
But looking back, Zhong Ning understood a little bit.Since Feng Linhai didn't ask, he must have the confidence not to ask.For example, his relationship with Tianqi Company must be so strong that he will not kidnap Feng Linhai; for example, before he cooperated with Zhong Ning, he must have investigated Zhong Ning thoroughly, so how could he not know? Zhong Ning's house is in S City?
No wonder Zhong Li always says that he is simple-minded!Is not very smart.
35 go home! a exploded Zhong Ning
Zhong Ning went home this time without telling anyone in advance.After entering the boundary of City S, he remembered to call Zhong Li.Because it is very likely that there will be no one in the Zhong family mansion at this time.
At 3:[-] p.m., the three workaholics in the family were assigned to go to work, and the younger sister volunteered to go to Vienna to study music and was not at home.
It's really meaningless for him to go back to the empty house without his family.Go directly to the office building of Zhong's Group without saying hello?kidding me!Absolutely being stunned by the girl at the front desk in the lobby.Is the chairman of Zhongda so easy to meet?Hmm... General Manager Zhong doesn't even want to see him without an appointment.
"Zhong Ning? Why did you remember to call me? You don't have enough money?" Zhong Li's domineering president Fan Er's deep voice came along the airwaves.
"There are still a few million." Zhong Ning replied with a smile: "Come to S City to do business, and go home to have a look. Are you and your parents at the company? I'll go find you!"
"They're all here, come here. About how long will it take?" Zhong Li said, there was actually a meeting to be held in 10 minutes, but he couldn't bear to say no to his younger brother who hadn't seen him for two or three years.
"We have entered the outer ring now. There is no traffic jam at this time. It should take half an hour at most." Zhong Ning said, and the little red beetle passed another green light. It seems that I have never encountered a red light, and I am about to take off smoothly.
"Okay, I'll say hello to the front desk, and you can come to me directly on the 19th floor." Zhong Li said.
"No, bro, come down and pick me up. I'm holding something, and that thing is quite heavy." Zhong Ning said, it's such a big rock, it's not very heavy.
"I'll call you a security guard!" Zhong Li hung up the phone after finishing speaking, but his tone sounded a little impatient.
Zhong Ning glanced at the phone that was hung up, and clicked his tongue, what a temper!It's really like Lao Zhong.
Sure enough, the green light all the way to the Zhongshi Group Building, Zhong Ning took out the jade carving from the space ring and put it on the back seat.As soon as he got out of the car, a security guard with a familiar face ran over to pick him up.
"Mr. Zhong Xiao! You are very fast. General Manager Zhong said that you will arrive in about ten minutes!" The security guard greeted Zhong Ning enthusiastically.
"Mr. Zhong is Mr. Zhong, do
Well, I need to add a small letter.Brother Wang, you have been transferred to the headquarters! Zhong Ning frantically searched in his mind, and finally remembered that this somewhat familiar security guard was the gatekeeper of Zhong Ning's community property, and the property company of Zhong Ning's community happened to be the same property company as Zhong's Group.
"I also want to thank Mr. Zhong for his trust." The security guard surnamed Wang said to Zhong Ning, seeing that Zhong Ning was bending over to open the door and move the co-pilot's seat, he hurried over to help.Mr. Xiao Zhong explained that Mr. Zhong Xiao brought things over and asked him to help move them.
Seeing him helping Zhong Ning move the co-pilot of the little beetle away, and looking at the back seat of the car, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh! What a beautiful jade carving, it's not small! It's so precious I can’t move the things that I have by myself. Mr. Zhong Xiao, please wait here for a while, and I’ll get someone to come.”
Zhong Ning waved his hand and quickly stopped him, saying: "No need, I can just move it by myself. This thing is important, but it's actually okay."
He called Zhong Li before and asked him to come down to help him move things, just as a joke.He is now so strong that he can lift a cow, so he doesn't need help from others.Besides, he knew what he carved, it was so delicate!The thinnest part of the pine needles running water on the rocks is less than one millimeter, and there is no room for any bumps.He really doesn't feel relieved to let others move it!
"Brother Wang, just open the way for me and don't let anyone touch me." Zhongning said, leaning in, holding the base of the jade carved Hainan huanghuali with both hands, and took the things lightly and skillfully. come out.
Wang Baoan saw that Zhong Ning really did not bother to hold the huge jade carving, which was [-] or [-] centimeters long, and he also believed his statement that the object was not too heavy, so he rushed ahead of Zhong Ning to open the way.
"Give way! Make way! Hey, Minister Zhang, I'm sorry, please lean to the side first, don't bump into it!" Wang Baoan dutifully isolated the passing employees of Zhong's Group along the way One meter away from Zhongning.
This battle was not insignificant, and the Zhong employees who were isolated outside could not help but stretch their necks, staring at Zhong Ning and the things in his hands very curiously, guessing which cooperation unit sent them over again , it looks so delicate and magnificent!An old employee who had worked in Zhong's for seven or eight years recognized Zhong Ning, and began to popularize science with the newcomers next to him. This seemed to be the second son of the boss's family, Yunyun.
When Zhong Ning was about to reach the entrance of the single-floor elevator, the door of the double-floor elevator next to him suddenly opened.A girl with ponytails covered her mouth crying and rushed out, and in the blink of an eye, she bumped into the pine needles of a welcoming pine protruding from the steepest mountain in Zhongning's hand.
It was too late and then too soon, Zhong Ning stepped sideways and turned around, the girl still inevitably bumped into the jade carving.Zhong Ning had no choice but to move the jade carving far away with one hand, and with the other hand, taking advantage of the girl's rushing momentum, he picked up the back collar of her shirt, picked up the person like a kitten, and turned around half a circle , and gently placed it on the corner of the elevator front room.
"Wow - cool!"
"Handsome!"
"Master Zhong is so strong!"
"A burst!"
……
The elevator opened, and of course the girl wasn't the only one who got off.Zhong Ning's actions were exposed to the eyes of everyone in the elevator and lobby, and there were constant exclamations.
Wang Baoan stared dumbfounded at Zhong Ning's flamboyant manipulation of a jade carving that was half a meter high in one hand and a big girl in the other. He really didn't know whether to believe Zhong Ning's claim that the jade carving was really unsinkable, or doubt that Zhong Ning's strength was really great It doesn't take much effort to carry a big living person with one hand.
Then look at the appearance of Zhongning's thin arms and legs, and sigh that he is really a person who can't be judged by his appearance!
Zhong Ning wanted to get angry, but seeing the girl's face full of lingering fear, pear blossoms with rain on her face, who wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, she couldn't help but lighten her tone, and said, "Be careful, the pine needles on this jade carving It is very sharp, if you hit it, you will go straight to the hospital!"
"Thanks... hiccup... thank you." While crying, she was startled again, and the girl started to hiccup as expected.
"You're welcome." Zhong Ning smiled, and hugged the jade carving back into his arms in a very precious way.
Fuck!Almost dropped tens of millions just now!
Zhong Ning was calm on the surface, but in fact he was terrified in his heart. The material fee of 10 gold coins is very expensive!He would have to chop down trees for days to earn it back!
Besides, if he really dropped the baby in his arms, he might not be able to draw another design as vivid as this Tongtian Dao.
At this time, the elevator next to the odd-numbered floors came down, and Zhong Ning turned around and entered the elevator without hesitation.There were a lot of people waiting in the elevator room, but no one who had no vision wanted to squeeze an elevator with Zhong Ning.Didn't you see the frightened expression on the face of the security captain next to him?The thing that the young master is holding in his hand must be very expensive!
Thinking of this, everyone glanced at the side in unison.The clerk in the finance department, who had just arrived at the post for less than a month, was staring at the closed elevator door with a pink face, and a young girl Huai Chun.
Tsk~ Newcomers who have just set foot in the society love to fantasize.The young master of the Zhong family, is that someone who can covet casually?
36 The second young master of the domineering president's family
On the other side, Zhong Ning took the elevator all the way up, the middle elevator stopped several times, but everyone saw that Zhong Ning was holding a big guy in his hands, they all agreed not to get on the elevator, please Zhong Ning go first.
Soon, the 19th floor arrived.Then Wang Baoan saw that Zhong Ning, who was holding a large living person with one hand without any effort just now, turned into sister Lin in an instant, and shouted at the general manager's office while pretending that he couldn't move anymore:
"Brother! Brother! Come and help me, I can't move anymore!"
I believe you ghost Yo!Young master, don't trick me!Wang Baoan's face turned pale with shock.Just now the general manager asked him to go down to help Mr. Zhong Xiao carry things, but then he actually let the young master carry things up by himself.It is conceivable that tomorrow he should pack up and leave.
Wang Baoan was thinking about it richly, when he saw Zhong Ning holding the jade carving in one hand, he still had the strength to free one hand and waved it at him, signaling Wang Baoan to come quickly and pretend to help share half of the weight.
Wang Baoan, who had a strong desire to survive, understood in seconds, and rushed to Zhong Ning before the general manager came out, and helped him lift a corner of the jade carving.
It doesn't matter if he takes over, Wang Baoan, who was not mentally prepared, was almost crushed by this jade carving.Fuck!Mr. Zhong Xiao was holding this thing with one hand just now?What a natural strange power!
"Brother! Brother! Come out!" Zhong Ning continued to shout loudly.
The door of the general manager's room was still closed, but the small conference room next to it opened in response, and it was not Mr. Xiao Zhong who couldn't get out, but Mr. Zhong, who was followed by a group of marketing directors, financial directors, and planning directors... ... a group of senior leaders of the company.His own brother stood beside his father, winking at Zhong Ning with gloating face.
"What are you talking about! How grown-up are you?" Mr. Zhong reprimanded with a straight face.
In a blink of an eye, he noticed the things in Zhongning's hands, and said, "Put the things on the ground first if you can't carry them anymore."
Brother tricked me!Zhong Ning yelled in his heart, exchanged a glance with Wang Baoan, and obeyed obediently.
"What is this thing, why did you move the company?" Father Zhong asked, pointing to the jade carving on the ground.
"I carved some small things myself, and brought them here to look good on your desk." Zhong Ning said, he knew how to speak to please his father.
"Oh? For me?" Zhong's father heard the words, and he came over with great interest, helped the reading glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, and carefully examined the piece that Zhong Ning said he carved "by himself". little things.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, Zhong's father discovered that this "little thing" was actually carved from a whole piece of top-quality suet white jade!And this carving is so fine that he has never seen in his life!Father Zhong has lived in his 60s, and he has never seen such a sculpture that can depict the texture of the mountain rock so realistically, let alone such a sculpture that is so fine that even the pine needles as thick as a hair are finely polished, as if restored in equal proportions. Really loose.
"This...was really carved by you yourself?" Zhong's father asked suspiciously. It's not that Zhong's father didn't believe in his son's level, but that such a carver and such materials can't be called a national treasure!Not seen for more than two years, his youngest son lives in
Has it grown to such an extent?
"It's not your son, why don't you go all over China to find someone who can carve this thing for me?" Zhong Ning said arrogantly.What he said was somewhat secondary, but Zhong Ning was too lazy to be modest in front of his father.Modesty is useless, Zhong's father will think that Zhong Ning is guilty instead.
Father Zhong didn't say he believed it or didn't believe it. Instead, he said, "I spent a lot of money on the raw materials, right? Do you still have any money?"
"There are still several million. But if you are always willing to give it, I will not refuse." Zhong Ning said with a smile.
Zhong's father raised his hand and gave Zhong Ning a headache, then turned to the financial director next to him and said, "Director Yang, go back and transfer 300 million to Zhong Ning's account."
300 million, maybe not even one-third of this raw mutton fat jade.But it's like the son carrying big and small bags of chicken, duck and fish back home to visit his old father. Before leaving, the old father ordered a bag of pastries to take back.
"Zhong Ning, since it's a gift for me, why are you moving to the 19th floor? Why don't you hurry up and move me upstairs again." Zhong's father looked at Zhong Ning with a look on his face, road.
"I'm afraid of disturbing your work, so I'll come here to rest for a while." Zhong Ning explained in a half-coquettish tone, and then asked: "Then I'll move in? Is your office open?"
Father Zhong nodded, and said: "It's open, you can just move it up and find a free space where you want to put it."
So, the big bosses of the company who had a meeting just now looked at the young master who was still yelling and couldn't move just now, as if he was holding the same volume of foam plastic, and lightly hugged the jade carving into his arms. Even without using the elevator, he walked briskly up the stairs to the chairman's office on the 20th floor.
As soon as Zhong Ning's figure disappeared around the corner, all the directors who had remained silent just now started flattering Lao Zhong.
"You are so young and promising! This carver is not much better than those master carvers who receive state subsidies." This is the marketing director who has some research on carving.
"I haven't seen you in two or three years, Xiao Ning is handsome again! He looks like his mother when he was young, Jun!" This is Aunt Shen, the deputy director of finance who watched Zhong Ning grow up, Zhong's mother's confidant general.
"Such a valuable thing can be given away as soon as you say it, the second son has a filial piety!" This is the company's most well-mannered planning director.
Lao Zhong was very comfortable with this flattery, and his mood improved a lot. With a big wave of his hand, the plan discussed in the meeting just now was passed. Go back and improve the implementation details before sending it for a look.
For a moment, the entire 19th floor felt like everyone was happy.
That's why Zhong Ning insisted on moving the things to the Zhong's Group building with his own hands. Lao Zhong has a good face!Of course, it only refers to the face of the children's future.When Zhong Ning was a child, Zhong Ning got a perfect score in the language test, and Lao Zhong had to show off everywhere, not to mention that Zhong Ning is so generous now that he is giving him rare sculptures made by himself.
On the other side, Zhong Ning, who went upstairs with his things in his arms, gently pushed open the door of Zhong's father's office. The inside was as simple and plain as ever.A desk, a group of mahogany sofas and matching tea tables for banquets, and a cabinet full of files against the wall are all.
There is really no extra table, no wonder Lao Zhong asked him to find an open space to put his things down first!
After finding a place where no one would come and go and put down the jade carving, Zhong Ning went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and planned to go down to the financial office on the 18th floor to find his mother.Zhong's mother was born in a professional class, with many titles such as certified public accountant and senior auditor, and is the chief financial officer of Zhong's Group.A woman with real power in her hands, she won't let go, even if Father Zhong, the chairman, nods, she won't want to take a penny from the company's account.Of course, Zhong's mother is usually a husband and wife, and she is very supportive of Zhong's father's work.
37 The tough mother-in-law
When Zhongning went downstairs, Zhong's mother had already received a tip-off from the eldest son.She finished the work at hand as soon as possible, and waited for Zhongning to come to her.Although Zhong Ning is not the most favored one in the family, but that mother does not want her
flesh and blood!What's more, Zhong Ning, a little heartless, would not go home for two or three years after he left.
"I heard that you gave your father a jade carving?" As soon as they met, before Zhong Ning could speak, Zhong's mother said this to Zhong Ning.
Just as Zhong Ning wanted to give his mother a warm hug, he heard this lemony question.Zhong Ning was so frightened on the spot, it's terrible!I forgot to prepare a special gift for my mother.
The eyeballs rolled around, and Zhong Ning spoke with great desire to survive, and said: "My jade carving is for Zhong's Group, and it is for my father alone! As for the gift for you, I will give it to you. How could I forget!"
Saying this, Zhong Ning took out the mutton fat jade pendant that had been prepared in advance from the interspatial ring under the cover of his pocket, and took it out, and said to Zhong's mother: "Here~ Mom, there are four yuan in total, I'll pick it for you first! "
The material of this jade pendant is better than the jade of the Tongtian Avenue sculpture just now, the texture is extremely fine and moist, and the luster is like condensed sheep oil.
Compared with Zhong's father, who didn't have much research on jewelry and gems, Zhong's mother had a much better vision for these things, and she could tell the difference of these jade pendants at a glance.
It is becoming more and more difficult to buy these years. Needless to say, the top-quality jade that can only be bought by looking for a relationship.But the unique design and exquisite carving of this pendant cannot be easily designed and produced by the so-called senior designers of ordinary jewelry companies.
A carver of this quality usually has to come to the door to "seek".Please those masters who are well-known in the national department and receiving state subsidies make tailor-made.If you spend money and pay favors, people won't even care about you!
Everyone knows that those talented artists are the most arrogant, there is no way, they have the ability!
Zhong's mother was famous for her tall stature in the circle of noble ladies in S City, so of course she would not save her face to ask for this kind of jewelry.All her jewelry was bought off-the-shelf in the jewelry store. Although it was not the best, it was enough.With her status, naturally, no one would speak sarcastic remarks about her without eyes.Now that her son has such a "master" skill, why not make her happy.
Looking around on the four jade pendants, Zhong's mother picked out a Pixiu and said, "I'm in charge of finances, so take a Pixiu to attract wealth!"
Zhong Ning really didn't expect that his mother would choose that Pixiu, because compared to the three Shangshanruoshui Pendant, Hundred Flowers Piercing Butterfly Pendant, Dragon and Phoenix and Ming Pendant next to it, it is really too masculine.Zhong Ning originally prepared this Pixiu for his elder brother, wishing him a lot of money.
Zhong Ning thought this way, and before he could open his mouth to try to shake his mother's mind, Zhong's mother began to distribute again: "Give the dragon and phoenix and Ming pendant to your brother, and let him keep it for the girl he likes; the butterfly pendant with hundreds of flowers is beautiful. , suitable for a little girl like your sister; as for your father, doesn’t he usually like to read the Tao Te Ching? Just give him this “Shang Shan Ru Shui.”
Come on, which pendant is assigned to everyone, what else can Zhong Ning say?Of course it is done!
After assigning the pendant's ownership, Zhong's mother noticed the extra space ring on Zhong Ning's right middle finger.He narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, "Xiao Ning, why did you remember to wear the ring? It's just an ordinary copper ring. Which girl gave it to you?"
"No! Mom, where do you want to go! I made this ring myself. I don't go out all day. Where can someone give it to me? And mom, this is not an ordinary copper ring. Look at the colored glaze on it. Patterns!" Zhong Ning raised the ring to his mother's eyes, and showed her the magic pattern on the interspatial ring: "It takes a lot of energy to perfectly melt this colored glaze into the copper!"
Mother Zhong took a closer look, and she really saw circles of mysterious colored glaze patterns in the ring body.
The suspicion in Mother Zhong's heart was not dispelled, and she smelled an erratic fragrance from Zhong Ning's hand that was held in front of her eyes, and it smelled really good.
The youngest son, who has always been carefree and unkempt, is wearing perfume?And you said you weren't in love?Liar!
But Zhong's mother is not a mother who wants to control her children too much, so the younger son doesn't want to talk about it.No matter what kind of girl she is, if she wants to enter Zhong's house, she will have to wait
Or later, after all, I have to meet my mother-in-law first.Zhong Ning is unwilling to tell him now, maybe he hasn't established a relationship with that girl yet!
"Why are you willing to come back this time?" Zhong's mother asked.
"In two days, my Tianqi company will have an auction, and I have something to put up for auction." Zhong Ning confessed truthfully.
"Something similar to giving to the Zhong family?" Zhong's mother asked, what good things can Zhong Ning have that can be sold at the auction?It's nothing more than something related to sculpture.
"Not the same, right? But the value should be about the same." Zhong Ning hesitated for a while and said.The item hasn't been sold yet, and to be honest, he doesn't know how much he can sell it for.
"Have we finished talking with Tianqi? Our family has a little friendship with Tianqi. If we haven't talked about it yet, let your brother go with you. At least you won't suffer." Zhong's mother said a little worriedly, in her heart , Zhong Ning always seems to have not grown up.She doesn't want to be like Zhong Li, she is an adult, no matter what she does, it makes her feel at ease.
"We haven't talked yet. In the past two days, we have made an appointment with Tianqi's palm eye to watch things. Mom, don't worry, I have found a reliable connector." Zhong Ning said.
"It's better to let your brother stay with you." Zhong's mother said.
Zhong Ning thought for a while and nodded in agreement.Although he felt that Feng Linhai had already contacted him, his brother would not do better than Feng Linhai.
The mother and son sat together and chatted for a while, and it was time for dinner.Zhong's father and Zhong Li had to work overtime at night, and the first meal after the family reunion was simply eaten in the company's employee restaurant.
Zhong Ning's mouth has been spoiled by the delicious food in the wilderness these days, and he has just improved his five senses, his tongue is extremely picky, how could he get used to working meals in the staff restaurant.After barely drinking half a bowl of millet porridge, Zhong Ning couldn't hold down half a mouthful of rice anymore.
Seeing Zhong Ning seeming to suppress his nausea while eating, Zhong's father couldn't stand it anymore.The staff restaurant of Zhong's Group has always been famous for its rich and delicious dishes. There are more than 2000 employees in a building, including himself, who eat in the canteen every day and always feel that it is very good. Why does Zhongning look like he can't swallow it when he comes!
I'm used to some problems!Zhong's father gave Zhong Ning a ten-minute political lesson on this matter, and finally came to a conclusion that he was just hungry, and gave him three meals to see if Zhong Ning was still picky.
In the end, it was Zhong's mother who felt sorry for her son, and secretly ordered a very delicate takeaway for Zhong Ning from a nearby five-star hotel.Responding to Zhong's father, he said: "Now that life is better, if I go back to remember the bitterness and think about the sweetness, and live the days of eating bran and swallowing vegetables, am I sick?"
Men in city S are afraid of their wives. It's a tradition. Zhong's mother has said so. If Zhong's father wants to use his father's status to continue to teach Zhongning,
