Chapter 53: Betting

Everyone present looked towards the old man, and everyone wanted to hear the story behind this painting.

"Zhang Wanqian, a genius of his generation, became famous at a young age and is very proud of himself. As a result, he developed an arrogant and eccentric temper. He once made a splash-ink painting, which immediately led the trend of the painting world at that time. Everyone rushed to imitate it. Among them, a fake is passed off as his original and sold at a high price.

Finally, after much effort, he obtained this fake that is so realistic that he painted another one imitating the fake.

Then, the real thing and the fake are torn apart together, and only this fake of a fake remained in the world. Zhang Wanqian's real thing!

Moreover, this painting is extremely valuable because of this anecdote. Of course, it is also very likely to be regarded as a fake and sold at a bargain price!"

After saying this, the old man looked at the shop owner meaningfully and smiled.

Then, he asked Wei Ru," Miss, how much did you pay for this painting?"

Wei Ru did not hide it and says," Eight million!"

"Not a loss, not a loss. I can make at least eight million by reselling it!" says the old man.

A hint of surprise flashed across Wei Ru's beautiful eyes, but Wu Gang had expected it.

The shop owner hesitated to speak, and in the end did not say anything to humiliate himself.

The young master looked at Wei Ru's painting and says," Name your price, I want it."

Seeing the young master's unquestionable look, Wei Ru frowned slightly, shook her head, and says," I'm sorry, I won't sell this painting!"

A trace of anger flashed across the young man's handsome face. How dare this woman disobey him?

"you ... "

"Sun Hao!" the old man says lightly.

The young man fell silent immediately. It seemed that this old gentleman still had some deterrent power.

Wu Gang looked at this young man calmly. He is the first martial artist he met since he came to this city.

He is in the middle stage of the acquired realm, which means he has some talent. His family background should be good, which is not comparable to the secular wealthy families like Wei Ru. However, with Wu Gang around, this Sun Hao can't make any waves!

Wu Gang stood straight, wearing a well-fitting suit that showed off his perfect body. He looked handsome, energetic and well-mannered!

It quickly attracted the old man's attention, of course, because of the pair of lions.

The old man looked at the bronze lions in Wu Gang's hands and let out a light exclamation.

"My boy, this lion ... "

"I bought this and spent 60,000 yuan on it!" Wu Gang says frankly.

The old man seemed very interested and asked," Can you show it to me?"

"Of course." Wu Gang handed over the lion very readily. After all, there is someone helping to identify it for free, so why not?

The shop owner nearby is also looking at it eagerly, wondering if he had found another bargain ...

The old man adjusted his glasses, looked very surprised, and returned the lion to Wu Gang incredulously.

"This is incredible! This is a national treasure. Young man, you should hand it over to the country!"

Wu Gang,"... "

The old man continued," These are two of the nine lions that are made by skilled craftsmen from all over the world a thousand years ago, so that he could still be feared and feared even in hell. This is of historical significance and cannot be measured in money. If you really want to put a price on it, it would be at least 10 billion."

With a thud, the shop owner collapsed to the ground. His shop had not been open for three years, and as soon as it opened, he gave away his two most valuable treasures ...

Ten billion, you can't earn that much money in dozens of lifetimes ...

"Young man, if you trust me, hand him over to me and I will hand him over to the country?" the old man says righteously.

Wu Gang,"... "

You're talking to me about trust with a stranger you just met for less than an hour?

Of course, this old gentleman is definitely a good man, upright and upright, but Wu Gang has his own plans ...

"I'm sorry, old gentleman, this treasure is valuable, and I will never keep it privately. However, I know Director Shen of the Magic City Museum. I can just donate it to the museum myself when the time comes ... " Wu Gang apologized.

"Shen Qian?" The old gentleman is surprised and says with a smile," That's the same. I originally planned to give it to him. He is an old classmate of mine."

"Yeah, what a coincidence ... " Wu Gang also sighed.

Wei Ru winked at Wu Gang, who nodded and says to the old man," Mr., I'm sorry, we still have things to do, so we won't talk anymore ... "

The old gentleman waved his hand and says goodbye.

Wu Gang and Wei Ru left Lingxuanzhai.

That young man has been sizing up Wu Gang from the beginning, because he can't see through Wu Gang's depth?

"Sun Hao!" The old gentleman looked at Sun Hao, who kept looking at Wu Gang with strange eyes, and shouted loudly,"You can't understand some etiquette, this young man is not simple!"

When Sun Hao heard this, he frowned and says," Uncle Liang, what state is he in?"

"I can't see through it either ... "

Sun Hao's pupils suddenly shrank. "innate?!"

...

Wu Gang and Wei Ru drove away in the car.

Wei Ru looked at Wu Gang and says," Wu Gang, how do you know Director Shen, or which old gentleman did you lie to?"

"How can that be possible? I really plan to hand the treasure over to the country. After all, it's useless for me to keep it. Besides, even if I dare to sell it, no one dares to buy it now ... " Wu Gang says while driving.

"It seems that we are very lucky today." Wei Ru didn't know what to say.

"Of course, with me, Wu Gang, here, we will be blessed with great fortune and everything will go well! Otherwise, Wei Ru, I'll give you this lucky doll?" Wu Gang asked tentatively.

"Haha." Wei Ru pretended to sneer.

"Ah, your taunt caused me to receive a critical hit of 100 million points ... " Wu Gang screamed, but he still drove seriously. He would never joke with his life.

"Haha ... " Wei Ru couldn't help it. She had a very low sense of laughter, especially when Wu Gang looked serious but is talking nonsense. It is really funny ...

"By the way, who are we going to give the gift to?" Wu Gang asked curiously.

"A nail house!"

"Ah?" Wu Gang suddenly became interested. "Tell me about it!"

Wei Ru sighed, this matter made her upset.

"Our company is planning to acquire this old city area and develop commercial housing, but we ran into three stubborn households. They refused to move out and even told me to come in person, so I came."

Wu Gang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They asked him to come? What if they took action? Oh, Wu Gang finally understood why Wei Ru took him with her on the business trip. It turned out that this little girl is also scared ...

"You're taking a painting worth more than 10 million yuan to give to a stubborn household, are you sure?" Wu Gang found it hard to understand. Shouldn't a president be smart and capable?

Wei Ru looked at Wu Gang and says," Wu Gang, you don't have a house, right?"

"Yes!" Wu Gang is a little confused about Wei Ru's thoughts,"Inside the mountain ... "

Wei Ru,"... "

There is still some distance to the destination, so Wei Ru luckily acted as a teacher and says to Wu Gang," The family we are going to visit is a family of scholars. Their house is very large, and the land alone is worth 100 million. Moreover, if the house is included, we will have to spend 200 million!"

We have to find another place and build an identical house for them."

"No way, are you kidding me? Your company is really kind ... " Wu Gang is a little impressed by Wei Ru's family. Is this a company or a charity ?

Wei Ru says," The problem is, they don't agree with what I says. They don't need money at all, otherwise I wouldn't have come ... "

"Then forget it. Without their family, is it possible that the house cannot be built?" Wu Gang asked.

"It really won't work. Their house is a must-pass road. We plan to razed the road for traffic ... "

Wu Gang: " ... "

Wu Gang is at a loss.

Wei Ru stopped talking too.

Soon, they arrived at the house of the "nail householder". It is indeed very grand. It is an old-fashioned building with a full Chinese style. Wu Gang even felt a little envious.

In the future, I will bring my wives here and live a life like in paradise.

However, such a beautiful and magnificent building is going to be demolished to block the road? What a pity ...

Wei Ru pressed the doorbell and someone came to open the door soon.

It is a little girl in school uniform, about eleven or twelve years old, with a rosy and chubby face, looking very cute.

However, when the little girl with almond-shaped eyes heard that Wei Ru is here to collect the house, she rolled her eyes at Wei Ru and says in a bad tone," Come with me, Grandpa is waiting to see you!"

The interior of the house is quite large, and it took Wu Gang and Wei Ru more than a minute to see the owner.

This is an old man with white hair and beard.

He has a flat head and a long beard that reaches his chest. He looks very elegant and has an immortal air!

He glanced at Wu Gang and says," Are you the CEO?"

The voice is loud and clear, and it seems that the old man has a youthful face despite his white hair, and is still in good health.

Wu Gang smiled and says," How can I have that ability? I'm just a security guard. Old man."

The old man looked at Wei Ru in astonishment and says," You are the boss? You are the one who wants to take over my house?"

Wei Ru is very smart, otherwise she wouldn't be able to manage such a large family business.

"Mr. Xu, my name is Wei Ru. I came here today to bring you a fake ink painting from Wan Qian!"

"Zhang Wanqian? A fake ink-splashing painting. Let me see it!" The old man seemed to have a fanatical hobby for cultural relics. When he heard the name Zhang Wanqian, he immediately forgot about Wei Ru's bad deeds and couldn't wait to see the ancient painting.

Wei Ru and Wu Gang smiled at each other. Wu Gang took out a painting tube from the back and took out the ancient painting.

Then he and Wei Ru each unfolded the ancient painting.

Mr. Xu stood up and walked over to admire it.

After looking at it for about a few minutes, he nodded and signaled Wei Ru to put the painting away.

With a red face and hidden excitement, he says," I never thought that the anecdote is actually true. I never thought that I, Xu Qingchun, would be able to see such a rare and unique place in my lifetime ... "

Seeing how happy Mr. Xu is, Wu Gang knew that today’s incident is inevitable.

As expected, Mr. Xu says," If you want us to move, it's not impossible. Just for the sake of your generous gift, let's make a bet. If you win, we move out. If you lose, you leave the painting behind and we won't demolish it!"

Wu Gang and Wei Ru looked at each other and both saw the other's helplessness.

This old man is so cunning. He is really experienced. He is so eager for this painting, but he can still control himself and come up with the most beneficial method for himself. This is really amazing ...

Wei Ru had no choice. After all, the house had to be demolished!

"Okay! Mr. Xu, I'll bet with you!"
