Zhang Xiaoliang understood what Fang Zhicheng meant and said with a smile, "I finally caught up with your train of thought. Do you think that Miao Dai'er is in danger now, and if we help her, she will be more loyal to the Fang family?"
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Zhang Xiaoliang was indeed his confidant. Although he was a little slow to react, he still understood what he meant. He said, "Miao Daier has a special temperament. Even though she is suppressed by the Long family at the moment, I believe that if she doesn't rely on me, one day she will be able to step forward and become an important figure in the Yanjing social circle."
Zhang Xiaoliang smiled and said, "You give me the feeling of a good horse expert."
Fang Zhicheng could hear Zhang Xiaoliang's hidden meaning, but he didn't care about his joke. He ordered in a serious tone: "Find Huang Lin first and ask him to personally admit that his previous actions against Miao Daier were all malicious violations. He wanted to pursue Miao Daier, but was rejected by Miao Daier, so he resorted to such despicable means."
Zhang Xiaoliang touched his thick chin and said, "This is not difficult. Huang Lin has been controlled by my people and is almost on the verge of collapse."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Then notify Yuming Media Group and ask its famous artists to hold a charity gala in Yanjing. The organizer will be Miao Daier. You need to help Miao Daier and invite important guests."
Zhang Xiaoliang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It's not difficult to get a guest. As long as the news of Long Yun's humiliation is released today, and Huang Lin admits his mistake, Miao Daier's reputation in the outer circle will gather."
Fang Zhicheng added: "Give Miao Dai'er more power to secretly protect her. Annie and Henry are both very strong, but they are also injured. The strength of the Dragon Team should not be underestimated."
Zhang Xiaoliang quickly explained: "I have already communicated with the Third Master, and a new batch of blood will be injected into the security team in the near future."
Fang Zhicheng's eyes flashed with solemnity, and he said: "My uncle's death back then was also inextricably linked to the Dragon Group."
Zhang Xiaoliang said regretfully, "The Dragon Group is a special organization headed by the Long family, with dual attributes. Because it has been established for many years, it has always been very secretive to the outside world. I have used various means to try to investigate, but it is too difficult. However, because of Long Yun's incident, the Dragon Group will definitely pay attention to us. According to their revengeful personality, they will soon dispatch people to fight back."
Fang Zhicheng said: "Let's carry out everything according to the plan."
If you want to know the other party's true strength, you must first lure the snake out of its hole.
Chapter 1064: Long Shaoqian, the head of the Long family
Qiao Bai is now recognized as a master of Chinese painting. He has not held public exhibitions for many years, but this year he held a solo exhibition at the National Academy of Painting, attracting calligraphy and painting enthusiasts from all over the country. After Qiao Bai, with a head full of silver hair and a long beard, delivered a welcome speech and retreated into the painting academy, calligraphy and painting enthusiasts entered the academy one after another to view the paintings.
Qiao Bai stood next to a tall middle-aged man who was about 40 years old. He said with a smile, "Shao Qian, thank you for helping to organize this exhibition."
Long Shaoqian smiled faintly and said gently: "Mr. Qiao, you are known as the treasure of China. Do you know how difficult it is to ask for a painting from you in the market now? I have to thank the vast number of calligraphy and painting enthusiasts on your behalf. If you hadn't given them this opportunity, how could they feel the essence and charm of Chinese painting?"
Qiao Bai sighed and said, "I have rarely produced works in the past few years. I have tried to paint a lot, but I am not satisfied with many of them. This is also the reason why I don't hold art exhibitions."
Long Shaoqian said with emotion: "It is precisely because of your attitude of constant pursuit that you are able to stand at the pinnacle of China's thousand-year history of calligraphy and painting."
Qiao Bai stroked his white beard and said with a smile, "Shao Qian, you don't have to flatter me anymore."
In order to allow Qiao Bai to hold this calligraphy and painting exhibition, Long Shaoqian spent a lot of energy and effort. Qiao Bai has a dull personality and pursues a Taoist lifestyle of tranquility and inaction. In the past few years, he has been living in a thatched cottage in Xihua Mountain, like a mountain farmer, not caring about worldly affairs and concentrating on calligraphy and painting.
The reason why Qiao Bai came out of the mountains to hold this grand personal Chinese painting exhibition was mainly because he was instructed by a certain leader to use the celebrity painting exhibition to increase the attention of Chinese culture. This was to deal with the Westernization misleading of foreign forces in recent years.
Ordinary people began to learn sketching and oil painting, but paid little attention to traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy, which made traditional Chinese painting increasingly weak. Competition between countries is not only a competition of material, but also an important form of cultural intrusion.
Long Shaoqian holds three positions: Vice Minister of Culture, Deputy Secretary-General of the State Council, and Director of the Office of the Premier of the State Council. The last position is very important, proving Long Shaoqian's current position in the State Council. At the same time, the work content that Long Shaoqian is currently responsible for is related to the construction of the national cultural industry.
The secretary in a suit and shirt walked to Long Shaoqian's ear and whispered a few words. Long Shaoqian's face became solemn and he whispered, "Deal with it secretly as soon as possible and don't cause panic."
The secretary nodded and left in a hurry.
Qiao Bai looked at Long Shaoqian in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
Long Shaoqian smiled faintly and said soothingly: "We found a few rats and have dealt with them."
"Rat?" Qiao Bai looked at Long Shaoqian in confusion, then came to his senses and smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect there would be a thief at the art exhibition?"
Long Shaoqian smiled and said, "People die for money, and birds die for food. Mr. Qiao, you are a living fossil in the Chinese painting world. Any of your works is priceless. Now that you have opened an exhibition, such a big goal has been exposed to some people. How can they sit back and do nothing and suppress their greed?"
Qiao Bai said in a complicated tone: "Shao Qian, maybe this is not a coincidence, but your purpose, right?"
Long Shaoqian was calm and composed, thinking to himself that Qiao Bai was also a wise man. There were two reasons why he asked Qiao Bai to hold the exhibition this time. First, to cooperate with the work of the Ministry of Culture and advocate Chinese culture. With Qiao Bai as an example, he could promote the development of Chinese painting across the country and strengthen the influence of Chinese culture. Second, a batch of important heirlooms were lost in the Forbidden City not long ago. After receiving instructions from the leader, the Long Group must find these gangs.
Through careful analysis, it was found that the lost antiques were all Chinese paintings, which shows that the criminals particularly prefer Chinese paintings. In the past few years, a similar method was used to steal from the North Henan Provincial Museum, among which there were a number of Qiao Bai's works.
So Long Shaoqian came up with a plan to lure the enemy, using Qiao Bai's Chinese painting exhibition to lure the criminals into the trap. As expected, Qiao Bai's Chinese painting exhibition attracted a gang of theft to show up, and several of Qiao Bai's paintings were stolen.
After drinking two cups of tea with Qiao Bai in the lounge, the secretary walked over to Long Shaoqian and reported in a low voice: "The plan has been successful, and the mouse has been caught!"
Long Shaoqian stood up, nodded to Qiao Bai, and said softly: "Mr. Qiao, I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave for now. Someone will arrange your activities later."
Qiao Bai hurriedly said, “Shao Qian, you have a lot of things to do, so go ahead and do it first.”
Long Shaoqian gave a few instructions to the secretary, who then brought in a young woman who would be in charge of a series of activities for Qiao Bai. Only then did Long Shaoqian slowly leave the lounge.
Qiao Bai looked at Long Shaoqian's back, sighed softly and shook his head. It was not his original intention to hold this art exhibition, but he was under too much pressure. Of course, it was also because he admired Long Shaoqian.
Long Shaoqian got into the car, and his secretary received a call and whispered, "Princess Yun, it's a call."
Long Shaoqian smiled helplessly, picked up the phone, and said, "Yun, what's wrong?"
Long Yun choked up and said, "Brother, I was bullied!"
Long Shaoqian was slightly startled, and said unhappily: "In Yanjing City, I only heard that the Princess of the Long Family bullied others. Who dared to bully her? Are you teasing me on purpose?"
Long Yun had used this method to fool me many times before. She used the excuse that I was being bullied to borrow my strength to achieve her goal faster.
Long Yun is his uncle's daughter and the youngest of the Long family. Since she was born, she has been spoiled by everyone like a star. So she has often gotten into trouble in the past two years, and Long Shaoqian has cleaned up her mess many times.
