A group of four or five people walked and watched while walking in the painting gallery, their unusual aura was very eye-catching. Finally, when passing by an oil painting, a middle-aged man with a rich face stopped first, with a bit of a tone in his tone With imperceptible pride, "Master Huo, what do you think of this painting?"
The man he called Master Huo had handsome features but had a cold and hard taste. Hearing this, he looked at it casually. This oil painting is a potted plant. The colors are well matched, and it exudes vitality. It makes people feel comfortable.
Huo Jiusi nodded, "Not bad."
With this nod, the pride on the face of the middle-aged man became more and more intense, but he pretended to be plain and said, "It's not easy to get Mr. Huo's favor. This is my daughter's work. She just I like painting, and now it seems that I have some promise."
While talking, he instructed the staff on the side, "Come on, wrap up this painting and send it to Mr. Huo."
When the staff heard the sound, they were about to prepare. The owner of the gallery was the one who asked to speak, and the painting was also the work of the owner's daughter. Of course, he had the right to dispose of it.
But before he could respond, Huo Jiusi waved his hand indifferently, "No need, since it's Qianjin's work, let's leave it to someone who can appreciate it better, and it will be ruined by a vulgar person like me."
After finishing speaking, he continued walking without looking at the middle-aged man's reaction. As Master Huo's personal bodyguard, You Dali followed immediately, and a sarcasm appeared in his eyes after passing the middle-aged man. No wonder this fat man insisted on inviting Mr. Huo to come here today, saying that he should cultivate his sentiment occasionally. Now it seems that cultivating his sentiment is false, but the truth is that he wants to introduce his daughter to Mr. Huo.
I don't even think about how many people miss Master Huo, who is no better than his daughter, but Master Huo has never expressed this aspect, is he able to cling to him with such a small trick? !
Seeing that everyone was about to go far away, the middle-aged man who stayed in the same place changed his face, and he followed quickly, but he sighed secretly. He actually knew that this would not work, but his daughter insisted on doing this. I had no choice but to give my daughter a try.
Now she should give up, Master Huo doesn't mean that to her at all, let alone what she looks like, I'm afraid he doesn't even remember what she looks like, his daughter is good at everything, it's that literati sentiment that sometimes makes him It's a bit of a headache, and Huo Ye is not on the same path at all, and it's not suitable at all.
Shaking his head and putting aside those miscellaneous thoughts, he hurried up.
Huo Jiusi just walked around and watched casually, and there were quite a few people who recognized him, but after the first person who greeted him and bumped into a wall retreated, they knew that Master Huo didn't want to be disturbed, and they all held back He decided to show his familiar face in front of Master Huo.
You Dali was very puzzled as he followed Master Huo. As far as he knew, Master Huo should not be interested in these things, even if it was a masterpiece by a famous artist, Master Huo might not be interested. His hands were born to hold guns. Why did he really come to such a small gallery at Fatty's invitation
I can't figure it out, maybe it's because Mr. Huo is the master, and he can only be a bodyguard. Otherwise, he can guess every thought of Mr. Huo, and he doesn't have to stand here.
Just after thinking about this, You Dali saw Master Huo stopped in front of a painting.
He took a good look at it, looked left and right, and didn't see any difference. Compared with other paintings here, it wasn't particularly outstanding. Why did Mr. Huo still look serious
Oh, I don't want to think about it anymore, my brain will explode if I think about it any more, mental activities are really not suitable for him.
Huo Jiusi stared at the two people in the painting without turning his eyes. It was obviously just an ordinary ink painting, but when he looked at the two people in the painting, he couldn't help but feel something touched in his heart, especially the feeling of When the tenderness and tenderness between the two people in the painting, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly.
"Master Huo?" The owner of the gallery asked with some doubts when he saw Master Huo not moving for a long time.
Awakened by this sound, Huo Jiusi came back to his senses, staring at the signature on the lower right corner of the painting, Ruan Ze, I have never heard of it, but—
"I want to meet the owner of this painting." He looked at the fat man and asked.
"Ah?" Unexpectedly, Mr. Huo was not interested in his daughter's works, but he fell in love with the works of a little-known painter. After thinking about it, he still asked someone to find the person in charge of this area, "Go, I will The artist who painted this painting came over and said that someone was very interested in his painting and wanted to chat with him."
So, not long after, Ji Rong stood in front of Huo Jiusi.
"You drew this painting?" Seeing Ji Rong, Huo Jiusi frowned, it was not what he imagined, which disappointed him a bit, and Ruan Ze didn't look like a woman's name, don't be fooling Him? !
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
His sharp eyes couldn't even stand up to his peers, let alone a teacher like Ji Rong, she felt a little apprehensive.
"You are Ruan Ze?" Huo Jiusi asked calmly.
Ji Rong quickly replied, "No, Ruan Ze is my student."
She replied almost immediately, fearing that it would be too late to offend the person in front of her, so she continued without asking the other party, "I heard that someone was looking for him, so I did, but I haven't found it yet, he may transfer to other people." District, I have asked my students to help find it."
This answer was acceptable to Huo Jiusi, and his expression softened a lot. He nodded to indicate that he could wait for a while and then turn his head to admire the painting again.
Seeing that his student's works exhibited for the first time are favored by others, Ji Rong is also happy for him, especially this person looks like a big shot at first glance, which may be more beneficial to Ruan Ze's future development!
In the end, they waited and waited and waited, and the students who went looking for someone came back one by one, but no one found Hao Ritian.
Ji Rong felt a little anxious, "Let me call him and ask him!"
After the phone call, she already had an apology on her face, "I'm sorry sir, Ruan Ze said that he has already gone back first, I'm really sorry."
I feel a little regretful that Ruan Ze missed such an opportunity.
Huo Jiusi was also a little disappointed, but it couldn't be seen from the surface, he nodded lightly, "Forget it, you can make a price for this painting, I will take it."
Make an offer?
It's really hard for Ji Rong to bid at random. Let's not talk about the quality of Ruan Ze's painting. As far as he is not well-known in the industry, even if his paintings are really good, they can't be sold at a high price. It's a bit sad, but it's always been like this in this circle.
She struggled for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable price. It's too little. It's a pity that this painting is too high. Will it make people think that she is too greedy and let Ruan Ze keep it for the other party? bad impression
Before she could come to a conclusion, Huo Jiusi said, "Ten million, is it enough? If it's not enough, you can add more!"
Ji Rong, "!!!"
She is still hovering between a few hundred thousand, and she can't bear 10 million all of a sudden. Even those famous paintings in the circle sell for 10 million, which is considered a high price. Ruan Ze's painting The painting was actually given such a high price
She is a little confused!
She was a little confused, and her students were even more stupid. Just one painting can sell 10 million? ! !
If I had known this earlier, I should have seized this opportunity at the beginning. Maybe the ten million is my own now. At this moment, everyone feels deep jealousy and envy towards the owner of this painting, which is great. lucky.
Huo Jiusi didn't see Ji Rong's reply, and thought she was not satisfied with the price, "Too low?"
Before he could raise the price, Ji Rong recovered and shook her head immediately, "No, no, sir, the price you gave is too high, my student is just..."
She wanted to explain in good conscience. After all, Ruan Ze didn't even really enter this circle. He paid 10 million yuan, and blackmail was not so fast, but all her explanations were limited to people's indifference.
"No need to explain, this painting is worth that price to me." He felt that 10 million was not enough, but he preferred to communicate with the owner of the painting in person rather than paying more money.
"That's it." After he made the decision, he stared at the staff and wrapped up the painting, and then asked Ji Rong for the phone number of the owner of the painting. Zhu Hua and You Dali left together.
Holding the check in Ji Rong's hand, she still had a dreamlike feeling. She felt that she might not have woken up from the dream. When she woke up, she would call Ruan Ze and tell him the good news. She knew that this talented student was from a poor family, and with this money, he would be able to cover his future expenses and go further in his painting journey.
From this point of view, she is still very grateful to the gentleman just now, and she is sincerely happy for the students.
…
Not long after Hao Ritian returned to the community, he heard the follow-up about the Huangyan couple's riot in the early morning.
After being taken away by the ambulance in the early morning, Huang Yan's wife had more than a dozen stitches on her forehead. Fortunately, she was still alive, but Huang Yan's smashing caused problems. He rushed to the hospital as fast as he could and beat Huang Yan half to death.
After Huang Yan's parents arrived, they also apologized in various ways, and yelled at their son. After all, the fact that their son was looking for a young lady made the two elders feel ashamed, and it took a lot of effort to prevent them from getting a divorce.
Under the oppression of the two parties, Huang Yan, who felt that he had regained his confidence because of the outbreak, was beaten back to his original shape. Not only was he beaten back to his original shape, but the violent beating of his wife, natal brother, and his brother gave him a psychological shadow. If he did something to his wife, he probably had to take the initiative to give the right cheek if he was hit on the left cheek.
These are all people in the community heard from the property management staff, and the property management personnel are also quite embarrassing. In addition, at noon today, the house of Huang Yan and his wife was also taken back by the landlord. Dare to let them continue to live.
In case someone dies in the future, as a landlord, I don't know if it will cause trouble. Just to pay rent, it is not worthwhile. The house can be rented to other people after it is taken back!
When Hao Ritian came back, there were not too many people talking about this matter in the community. After all, it is a common feature of human beings to gossip.
When he went upstairs, he thought that because of Ruan Ze's actions, Huang Yan thought of such a vicious way of revenge and took action, and he just revealed the fact that Huang Yan was looking for a young lady to his wife and then triggered a series of follow-ups. Thinking about it, it can be regarded as repaying him in the same way.
With this episode, it is estimated that Huang Yan and his wife will leave here soon, or find a new place to rent a house, or go back to their hometown directly. In short, it has nothing to do with him.
Look, you just need to give this kind of person a little introduction, and they can make all kinds of troubles. The result of this trouble is not worse than him trying to find a way to deal with the other party, and it is easy and labor-saving. Why not do it? !
Even if Huang Yan is completely thrown away, his life will not be easy in the future. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as dire straits, so there is no need to keep an eye on him.
When he got home, he poured himself a glass of water, turned on the TV, and picked out a random variety show to watch. When the chores came to an end, he couldn't help but think about where his old Gong went, maybe he wasn't there, right
After all, in the previous worlds, they could meet each other almost immediately, but in this world, it has been more than a month, but he didn't even see a shadow. He was drinking water, and his expression was inevitably a little gloomy.
I drank all the water in the glass, and the guests on the TV program were laughing and laughing, but Hao Ritian couldn't listen to it at all, and couldn't laugh.
At this moment, someone rang the doorbell.
Hao Ritian's expression moved slightly, and he didn't even move while sitting on the sofa, subconsciously raised his brows. With Ruan Ze's interpersonal relationship, it is impossible for anyone to take the initiative to come to the door, so—
With a guess in his mind, he slowly got up and walked to the door. As soon as the door opened, the person standing at the door bowed politely, "Young master, I'm Xitai, your father's housekeeper. Knowing that your mother has passed away and you are living alone, I sent me to pick you up."
Looking at the butler in a suit and a pair of white gloves in front of him, Hao Ritian pressed the corners of his lips coldly, but when Xi Tai straightened up, he returned to his expressionless expression.
"You can ask me any questions you have, and I will try my best to answer your questions." Xi Tai's attitude can be called polite, but he was a little surprised when he looked at the expressionless child in front of him. Didn't he feel happy when his biological father sent someone to pick him up
It must have been taught by his mother.
But it doesn't matter, as the young master of the Tao family, he doesn't believe that the child will not be moved after knowing everything.
"May I go in and sit down?" Xi Tai asked politely, always standing at the door and talking.
Hao Ritian refused without hesitation, "No!"
"Master?"
"You're going to dirty my place!" He didn't hide his disgust.
Xi Tai was a little depressed and displeased, what kind of dirty thing is he, and he is dirty...
By the way, this young master seems to be obsessed with cleanliness, but even this is a bit too much, right? !
"Just stand here and talk if you have anything to say." He didn't think it was impolite at all, Hao Ritian blocked the door without any room for negotiation.
Xi Tai was not happy, but he was not happy, but the head of the family said that he must take him back, and his attitude was even better. He could only endure that emotion, and stood at the door as he said, and started a long-winded persuasion.
It is nothing more than the fact that the head of the family is very distressed to live alone after the death of the young master's mother, so he is ready to take him back and take good care of him. The family can provide him with a better living environment, and there are two older brothers in the family. The elder brother went to college together, etc., and outlined an extremely beautiful pie.
After talking, Xi Tai was a little thirsty, but facing the expressionless young master in front of him, he couldn't open his mouth and said that he wanted to go in for a glass of water.
Seeing the young master suddenly turn around and go in, Xi Tai felt a little relieved, thinking that he had a conscience and wanted to pour him a glass of water, but he went in for a while and then came out, and then locked the door in front of his face.
Xi Tai, "???"
Hao Ritian, "Didn't you say you want to take me back? Don't go?"
Did you agree to go back with yourself
"Then I'll find someone to come over and pack up the young master's things, and let's take them back together!" Xi Tai thoughtfully suggested.
But he was rejected mercilessly, "No need, just buy what is missing."
Ruan Ze's rental house was packed out by him. He has lived in it for more than a year. It has a different meaning to him. It is his own home, and he doesn't want others to destroy it.
As for the Tao family, if the family has a big business, they can spend as much as they can, and he may not be able to stay in the Tao family for a long time, it depends on the situation!
Xi Tai was a little overwhelmed by this young master's unreasonable behavior, and lost the confidence he had when he came here. He suddenly doubted whether the master's plan would work, but no matter how doubtful he was, he was just a housekeeper. At this time, it is enough to obey orders.
"Okay, listen to the young master."
Hao Ritian followed Xi Tai, and the two went downstairs one after the other. The car was already waiting outside. It was a high-profile RV. When they got in the car, the inside was like a small living room. There is everything to eat and drink.
After the car was on the road, Xi Tai poured a glass of juice for Hao Ritian, "Master, please use it."
Then he poured himself another glass of water and drank it a little faster, finally not so thirsty.
Putting down the cup, he looked at Hao Ritian's expression without any trace, and then frowned slightly. Naturally, he knew the young master's life experience. When the Patriarch sent him to pick him up, he showed him the investigation report. With such a life experience, seeing such a luxury car should be a little moved or curious, but the young master in front of him looks so calm, and he can't tell anything from his expression alone.
It makes people feel uncertain.
After thinking about it, he planned to use the time before he arrived home to give this young master a general introduction to the situation of the Tao family and the members of the family.
"Young master..." As soon as he opened his mouth, before he could start talking, the phone rang in the car.
He frowned slightly, and saw the young master leaning against the back of the chair with his eyes slightly closed, took out his mobile phone, glanced at it and connected it, "Hey, Teacher Ji, what's the matter?"
"I see."
"Thank you, I will call you the card number in a moment, please excuse me."
"Okay, I know, then I'll hang up."
After hanging up the phone, his expression was a little subtle, ten million, his painting was actually bought by ten million
It was the first time he got a sum of money in this way, and he felt a little hard to describe.
But as the saying goes, money is not everything, but if you don't have money, you can't do anything. If you don't have any money in your hand, you will have no bottom in your heart. This money came just in time.
As for the local tycoon who paid 10 million for his painting, he thanked him in his heart.
After thinking about it, he took out his wallet, took out the bank card he used frequently, and sent the card number to Ji Rong. After paying the tax and paying the commission drawn by the gallery, the money will be credited to the account.
Xi Tai silently watched him answering the phone and taking out his bank card. When he finished his work and put away his wallet and mobile phone and then leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest, Xi Tai coughed twice, "Little Young master, what is this?"
Hao Ritian opened his eyes and glanced at him, "It has nothing to do with you."
Xi Tai, "..."
He was choked many times, and he got used to choking and choking, but he didn't have the heart to talk to the young master anymore, and left the rest to the Patriarch.
…
Tao family.
"Dad, there's no need for our whole family to wait for him alone, right? He's just the illegitimate son of a prostitute, what right do we have to wait for him like this?" Disdainful.
"Xiao Fei, that's our younger brother too, don't talk about him like that." The eldest young master Tao Cheng had a gentle smile on his face, his eyes full of tolerance.
However, compared with Tao Fei's vivaciousness and health, he looked a little thin, his eyes were slightly swollen, and his complexion was a little pale, but his whole person gave off a feeling of spring breeze, which easily aroused people's goodwill.
Mother Tao felt sorry for her eldest son, and said quickly, "Your brother is right, he is already twenty years old, and he is still frizzy all day long. You should be more stable."
As for the illegitimate child, of course she doesn't like it, but it is still useful to him, and she is willing to give him some dignity before he 'uses everything'.
Mother Tao is over forty-five years old, but she still looks like a lady in her thirties, a dignified lady. Even Tao Fei has to listen to what she says, and she is a little dissatisfied He muttered a few times, "I know, I know."
Finally, I stopped complaining.
Tao Guanglun sat on the side with a smile on his face. He was extremely satisfied with the two sons, and his wife taught them well. Thinking of the illegitimate son who was about to be brought home, he couldn't help frowning , if it wasn't for the eldest son, he might never think of that illegitimate son again in his whole life.
The family of four enjoyed themselves happily. After the sound of a car came from outside the door, Mother Tao straightened her sitting posture, as if she was a housewife. Tao Fei also looked with her head, "Finally back."
He couldn't sit still and wanted to go out to play.
After Hao Ritian followed Xi Tai into the gate of Tao's house, he was immediately locked by four pairs of eyes in the living room. Tao Guanglun, the head of the family, reacted first.
He got up and walked directly towards Hao Ritian, with a loving smile on his face, and said, "This is Ozawa, right? What a poor child, let Dad take care of you from now on!"
He spread his arms and wanted to hug him, but Hao Ritian dodged in a flash.
"Don't touch me, dirty!"
The cold and indifferent four words plunged the whole living room into a deathly silence, and made Tao Guanglun's movements freeze in the air.
