As an internationally renowned painter, Zhao Wanqin's painting exhibition was held at the exhibition center in City A.
In addition to Zhao Wanqin's personal paintings, this time the City A Museum also found works by late painters of the same school as Zhao Wanqin, and selected several paintings worth nearly 10 million to be exhibited together.
With such valuable paintings on display, in the name of preventing the paintings from being stolen, security verification is imperative.
And because Jiang Qiran had already made some arrangements in advance, the on-site safety inspection was also several levels higher.
Those who attend the art exhibition must not only show limited-edition tickets, but also pass manual inspection to see if they are carrying guns, dangerous knives, etc. All drinks must be taken first to take a sip.
Therefore, even as smart as Shen Xi'er, she couldn't guess that all the twists and turns were aimed at her and the Shen family behind her, and were only meant to protect the paintings.
…
Ye Linlang has spent some time in City A, but she has never been to City A, an exhibition center located on the outskirts of the city.
This exhibition center in City A was built roughly twenty years ago. It adopts a combination of Chinese and Western styles, integrating the splendor and magnificence of the European Baroque style into it.
The dome is high and white, and the windows are inlaid with colorful glass. Under the sunlight, it emits an intoxicating colorful light.
Ye Linlang and Jiang Qiran walked side by side towards the entrance.
The two dressed lightly and easily passed the inspection.
Walking into the hall of City A Exhibition Center, Ye Linlang felt even more dazzled.
The architectural relief that resembled white jade alone made Ye Linlang feel that it was so ingenious that he had no idea who the original architect was, and how he could finally have such a stunning finished product.
Even compared to the most famous capital cathedral that Ye Linlang visited in Dongchen Kingdom, it was not far behind.
…
The art exhibition has not officially started yet, but many people have already arrived one after another.
Ye Linlang thought that she couldn't go inside, so she took Jiang Qiran's hand and walked around the outside of the exhibition center.
She felt that the afternoon sunshine was as bright as gold, and it was like a dream.
Even the common lotus shape of the fountain outside has a unique charm, which is so unique that it is heart-warming.
Jiang Qiran saw that Ye Linlang liked the architectural style here, so he couldn't help but smile and reached out to stroke Ye Linlang's head.
"Linlang, if you like it here, I can buy it for you."
Ye Linlang was stunned when he heard this, and almost flashed his tongue at Jiang Qiran's words. .
"Isn't this a public building? How could it be sold to a private person?"
Jiang Qiran shook his head.
"No, this place was originally built by a construction company under the Dichen Group. It was later sold to an entrepreneur who loves collecting antiques. It is not a public building."
When Ye Linlang heard this, he swallowed his saliva immediately.
She looked around at the vast area of the exhibition center and the luxurious architectural furnishings, and she still felt her heart trembling.
She shook her head at Jiang Qiran, unable to conceal the sigh in her eyes.
"The sin of the capitalist class... It would be too wasteful to buy and live here!"
Jiang Qiran shrugged upon hearing this.
"That doesn't matter. If you like it, I'm not joking. The greenery near this exhibition center is good, and there are no factories. It will be a good vacation spot in the future."
The young man's eyes were clean and clear, as if he was unaware of how scary what he just said was.
…
Oh My God!
Just because I knew Jiang Qiran was not joking, I felt even more guilty!
Ye Linlang kept complaining in her heart. Although she seemed to have heard for a long time that Jiang Qiran's family almost controlled the economic lifeline of Jiuzhou Kingdom, she didn't take it too seriously.
It was only today that when Jiang Qiran said that he wanted to buy this place, Ye Linlang felt that that kind of calm attitude was not something someone like her could easily accept!
She glanced at the lotus-shaped fountain pool not far away and shook her head.
"Forget it! It's such a big place, and it has a Baroque-style building that looks a bit like a church. It would be a bit scary to live here permanently."
Seeing Ye Linlang say this, Jiang Qiran finally stopped mentioning it.
…
And while the two were talking for a while, they suddenly heard a burst of melodious piano music.
It's the extremely famous "Für Elise".
It seems that the art exhibition will start soon.
"Then let's go in."
Ye Linlang and Jiang Qiran looked at each other and spoke softly.
Jiang Qiran nodded, and where Ye Linlang could not see, his eyes suddenly darkened, and there was a hint of gloom.
—Someone just texted him.
Shen Xi'er's motorcade was already at the door.
For the sake of Ye Linlang's safety, Jiang Qiran planned to have someone secretly protect Ye Linlang while he dealt with Shen Xi'er alone.
…
Soon, the two people arrived inside the venue.
The red cloth has been pulled down from all the paintings, revealing its charming true face.
Zhao Wanqin's painting style is just like this building that combines Chinese and Western styles. It also combines the painting techniques of the Kyushu Kingdom and the Dongchen Kingdom.
Ye Linlang watched intently, while Jiang Qiran made comments from time to time, but his mind had already gone to the sky.
Ye Linlang only thought that he wanted to see his master, so he was a little absent-minded.
And she quickly found her master. Zhao Wanqin was surrounded by a group of people in the center. There were also special reporters invited to interview beside Zhao Wanqin, holding a camera and filming while asking questions.
…
Seeing that Zhao Wanqin was so busy, Ye Linlang definitely didn't have time to receive her and Jiang Qiran for the time being.
"Look, that is my master."
Ye Linlang had no choice but to pull Jiang Qiran's hand and give him a signal.
Jiang Qiran looked over after hearing this, and his eyes instantly locked on the old lady who was surrounded by people not far away.
Although Zhao Wanqin is very old, she still loves beauty. Even though her hair is gray, it is meticulously tied behind her head. She is wearing an aqua blue cheongsam with large peonies embroidered at the waist.
The whole person's aura is full of elegance.
When Jiang Qiran heard Zhao Wanqin's name before, he vaguely felt that this person was familiar. Now that he saw the real person, he felt as if he had heard of it somewhere.
It's just that the focus of this matter was to capture Shen Xi'er in one fell swoop, so that he temporarily forgot to check Zhao Wanqin's information.
Where on earth had I heard of this old lady
…
Seeing Jiang Qiran staring at her master, Ye Linlang couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.
"What's the matter? Is there any flowers on my master's face?"
Jiang Qiran shook his head lightly, and suddenly his eyes were fascinated by a painting displayed not far away.
I saw the blue and white clouds in the sky painted on the brand new paper covered with oil paint.
A young girl stands leaning on the bridge railing, looking graceful.
Why does it look so familiar!
