Chapter 684 [Art Salon] (Part 1)

Zhang Yang and Cha Jinbei turned around at the same time, but saw Jiang Guangya accompanying a pair of men and women. The woman Zhang Yang knew him and was actually Ji Ruoyan, the general manager of Taihong Group. He was not familiar with the man, but he looked at the majestic man and was not an ordinary person.

Although Zhang Yang did not know him, he recognized that the man was Liang Kang, one of the three most famous young men in the capital. Such a name is often associated with playboys. However, Liang Kang is a practical man. His parents are both senior officials at the ministerial level, and his grandfather was one of the founding heroes of the Republic. Although he retired in the early 1980s, there were many politicians in the family, which can be said to be a red family that would choose to be ignored. Liang Kang made a fortune by operating steel. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he made a fortune due to Sino-Soviet trade, and his wealth expanded rapidly. His strong financial resources have become the leader among young people. In recent years, he has attacked in finance, real estate, and materials. His subsidiaries have become one of the most powerful consortiums in China. Because he is a high-profile and ostentatious person, his reputation in the capital is getting bigger and bigger. There is a saying that his financial resources have surpassed that of the great merchant He Chang'an.

In Cha Jinbei's eyes, Liang Kang is a junior. He and Liang Kang's business scope are different. There is no competition between them, so there is no conflict.

When Zhang Yang saw Ji Ruoyan, he knew that she must have come to support Jiang Guangya. This is normal. Taihong's boss Zhao Yongfu is Jiang Guangya's biological uncle, and Ji Ruoyan is Taihong's manager. It is also appropriate for her to come on behalf of the boss to congratulate him. Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Miss Ji is becoming more and more interested in calligraphy and painting."

Ji Ruoyan looked a little unnatural when she heard his words. Zhang Yang remembered the scene of writing the two words in Nanwu City, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Cha Jinbei also knew Ji Ruoyan, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Ji is also interested in this painting?"

Ji Ruoyan nodded and said, "I am a layman in calligraphy and painting, but I heard that the words on this painting were written by Director Zhang. At that time, Director Zhang's mangrove painting was sold at a high price of 2 million yuan. The price of these words alone should be more than 50,000 yuan. We are all business people, and it is our instinct for merchants to pursue profits."

Cha Jinbei laughed and said, "Ji always wants to steal it from me."

Ji Ruoyan smiled and said, "A gentleman does not win over what others love. I am a little girl, so I am justified in fighting with Cha Zong."

Cha Jinbei smiled more and more happily, and Ji Ruoyan didn't take it in his heart. Although he became Taihong's general manager at a young age, Taihong's real decision-making power was still in the hands of Zhao Yongfu. Cha Jinbei was thinking about her relationship with Liang Kang.

Liang Kang didn't say anything, and looked at them with a smile.

Cha Jinbei smiled and said, "A good saying is not to win over what others love. I still remember a good man does not fight with a woman. Since Mr. Ji likes it, then I will take the initiative to let the virtuous, and you can just take it."

Ji Ruoyan smiled and said, "Thank you!" She said to Jiang Guangya, "To show sincerity, I will pay 100,000 yuan. Anyway, this money is a charitable fund donated to Mr. Tianchi."

Liang Kang said on the side: "Ruoyan, I will pay this money, this painting is considered a gift I give you."

Zhang Yang said: "I said, everyone, don't argue, I haven't agreed to buy it yet! This painting seems to be mine, right?" Everyone's eyes were focused on him. Indeed, Master Zhang didn't say he wanted to sell it. He originally wanted to sell it to Cha Jinbei, but before he could say it, he came out again in the middle of the way, such a competitor as Ji Ruoyan, who hated others to ignore him the most. These people argued about this painting, but no one asked for his consent and really treated himself as air.

When I heard Zhang Yang's words, I was very happy from the bottom of my heart and said to myself that Ji Ruoyan, you are looking for something ugly today, and people have not said they want to sell it yet.

Liang Kang stared at Zhang Yang's face and said, "Friends, the price is not a problem. I'll give you 200,000 yuan, and make friends." Liang Kang's price is indeed not low, but his momentum is too strong, and he feels condescending when talking to Zhang Yang. Liang Kang is like this most of the time. He doesn't know who Zhang Yang is. He thinks he is the author of this work. Liang Kang is not an art lover. His cultivation in calligraphy and painting is limited. From his own perspective, he will not spend 200,000 yuan to buy a painting, but Ji Ruoyan likes it. Liang Kang has been pursuing Ji Ruoyan recently to make a smile. A mere 200,000 yuan is nothing to Liang Kang. Liang Kang's background and his own conditions determine that he is a bit arrogant. He does have the qualifications to be arrogant. Few people will care about him, but he accidentally met Zhang Daguanren today.

If Zhang Yang was happy, it would be fine to give this painting to others for free, but he was a little unhappy now. Not to mention 200,000, even if Liang Kang took out 20 million, he would not agree.

Jiang Guangya didn't know that Zhang Yang was disgusted with Liang Kang, so he smiled and introduced: "Zhang Yang, this is Liang Kang, and he is also a good brother of mine."

Zhang Yang nodded without a smile and said, "I have long admired Daming, and long admired Daming."

Liang Kang didn't know that he was mocking him, but he still pointed to the painting and said, "How about 200,000?"

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "I won't sell it!"

Liang Kang was slightly stunned: "Do you think it's too little?"

Zhang Daguan Ren smiled and didn't say anything.

Liang Kang said: "I will give you 300,000 yuan for Guangya's sake."

Zhang Yang became more and more unhappy, numb, is it so great to have money? Liang Kang looked like he was giving alms. If it weren't for his friend of Jiang Guangya, Zhang Yang would have been rude long ago.

Cha Wei saw something wrong. She knew Zhang Yang's temper. Liang Kang always spoke like that. Unfamiliar people would definitely think he was arrogant and rude. Cha Wei smiled and said, "Brother Liang, you are too stingy. Such a big boss has only paid 300,000 yuan. The money we received today's charity auction is used for charity funds. Don't think that we are greedy for money."

Liang Kang said: "Okay, I'll pay 500,000 yuan, that's it." He thought the price was kind enough, and the other party had no reason to refuse him.

Zhang Yang said: "Not selling! No matter how much money you cost!"

Everyone was stunned. Cha Jinbei was so happy. In fact, he also disliked Liang Kang, a young man, but as an elder, he was not suitable to be calculating with Liang Kang. Zhang Yang made a nail to Liang Kang, which was exactly what Cha Jinbei was willing to see.

Liang Kang hit a nail in front of everyone, and his face suddenly became a little bad. Few people in the social circle in Beijing would not give him face in public. What made Liang Kang even more embarrassed was that Ji Ruoyan was by his side.

Ji Ruoyan couldn't put down this painting, and she begged softly: "Director Zhang, I really like this painting. Can you give up?"

Zhang Yang felt that this matter was a bit strange. He even said he would not sell it anymore. Ji Ruoyan still wanted to ask herself. Is it a bit of a loss to do this in front of so many people? Why didn’t he know that Ji Ruoyan was an art lover in the past?

Liang Kang looked at Zhang Yang coldly, and was quite annoyed that this guy did not give him face in public.

Zhang Yang was also very flexible in his mind. He knew how to deal with this kind of thing and smiled and said, "Miss Ji, it's not that I don't want to give up my love. I have promised to give this painting to my godmother. Of course, what I promised cannot be changed." In fact, Luo Huining hadn't seen this painting yet, so Zhang Yang used this method to divert the conflict.

Ji Ruoyan had to give up when she heard Zhang Yang's words. Jiang Guangya hurriedly took them to visit other places.

After they left, Cha Wei was puzzled and said, "Why didn't I know you gave this painting to Mrs. Wen?"

Zhang Yang said angrily: "You are not the worm in my stomach, you will know anything about me?"

Cha Jinbei and Qiu Fengxian both laughed, and Cha Wei snorted and glared at Zhang Yang, and went to accompany Luo Huining.

Cha Jinbei reminded Zhang Yang: "The one I just saw Liang Kang, one of the three young masters in Beijing, and the president of the Dragon Group."

Zhang Yang said: "I'm not familiar!"

Cha Jinbeidao: "He loves face very much."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Face is not given by others, but earned by yourself!"

Cha Jinbei looked at the "Mountain Ghost" reluctantly: "I really like this painting!"

Zhang Yang whispered: "You donate 500,000 later, and I will ask Cha Wei to give you this painting quietly."

Cha Beijin Road: "You are really willing to want it for 500,000."

Zhang Yang said: "You heard it just now, Liang Kang even offered this price."

Cha Jinbei smiled and said, "Five hundred thousand is 500,000. It can not only help you do good deeds, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?"

Cha Beijidao: "Help me introduce the author of this painting."

Zhang Yang said: "No problem!"

The art salon that day was very successful. Many guests who came bought paintings taken by Yipai. Most of them were not interested in the paintings themselves. They just donated some money and good deeds to Mr. Tianchi's foundation in this way. They donated the most to North Jinbei, 500,000.

Luo Huining delivered a speech on behalf of the foundation and expressed her gratitude to everyone for their generous donations.

Zhang Yang stood in the crowd listening to Luo Huining's speech. At this time, Ji Ruoyan came to his side and smiled and said, "Director Zhang, you made me feel embarrassed today."

When Zhang Yang saw Ji Ruoyan coming alone, he smiled and said, "Sorry, if I hadn't promised my godmother to come first, that painting would definitely be given to you."

Ji Ruoyan sighed and said, "As a compensation for me, can you give me a piece of calligraphy?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Have you written one before?"

Ji Ruoyan's pretty face was a little red when she heard this, and she said softly: "That character was taken away by Director Liu of the Sports Committee."

Zhang Yang is actually very easy to talk to. He has no disgust towards Ji Ruoyan himself. The reason he just rejected her request was because of Liang Kang's arrogant attitude. After Zhang Yang rejected Ji Ruoyan, he felt a little disgusted. Now when he heard Ji Ruoyan's request, he was naturally embarrassed to reject her again. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll write it and send it to you."

Ji Ruoyan said, "A word is certain, you don't need to send it to me. I'll go and get it, so that I can be sincere enough."

Zhang Yang said: "What to write?"

Ji Ruoyan blurted out: "Song of Everlasting Sorrow!"

While the two were having a passionate chat, Liang Kang came over and said to Ji Ruoyan: "Ruoyan, it's time for us to leave!"

Ji Ruoyan nodded and said to Liang Kang with a smile: "Director Zhang promised to give me a picture of it."

Liang Kang smiled faintly and said, "Okay!" He held Ji Ruoyan's hand and walked out.

Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at the backs of the two, feeling that the two were quite compatible.

Luo Huining came to him at some point and smiled and said, "Don't look, the famous flower has a master."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Godmom, I don't have that kind of mind. Who do you think of me?"

Luo Huining laughed and said, "You guys are never sure. By the way, who painted that "Mountain Ghost"? Many people are interested, and even Liang Kang came to ask me."

Zhang Yang was stunned and suddenly remembered that he had said he wanted to give the painting to Luo Huining, but this incident did not reveal to Luo Huining. Liang Kang must have contacted Luo Huining to verify this matter. It seems that because of this incident, Liang Kang was not afraid of offending others. He just felt that there was no need. He came to the capital to cultivate his mind and nature, not to make enemies.

Qiu Fengxian came over and invited Luo Huining to the Jinwang Mansion for dinner. In order to celebrate the successful opening of the art salon, Cha Jinbei specially prepared several tables of meals at the Jinwang Mansion to invite guests to support them. This was also a support for the niece's career.

Luo Huining smiled and said, "I won't go to eat. I'll go back to take care of my daughter. You young people can go and play by yourself."

Luo Huining didn't go, but Hong Weidong and others would not easily miss the opportunity to meet celebrities in the capital. Zhang Yang and Hong Weidong went to the Jinwang Mansion in the same car. Hong Weidong introduced Liang Kang to Zhang Yang on the way. When Zhang Yang and Liang Kang were unhappy, Hong Weidong was right beside him. He saw the whole story. In his opinion, Zhang Yang should not offend this famous young man in the capital.

Hong Weidongdao: "Liang Kang is a real champion and has great power."

Zhang Yang said: "It doesn't matter what he is. My work scope is not in the capital. I will return to Pinghai in a few days." He was quite disdainful of the three words ***. Qiao Pengfei is a real ***. If he provoked himself, he would be beaten up!

Hong Weidong smiled and said, "I still hope you can stay in Beijing to work. You have such a wide relationship in all aspects. Staying in Beijing to work will definitely play an important role in the development of our Beijing Office."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I'd better play my important role in the Pinghai. The water in the capital is too deep, and I'm not good at water quality, and I'm afraid of being flooded."

Hong Weidong laughed, and his topic returned to work: "Has the corruption of Shi Xuerong been investigated clearly?"

Although Hong Weidong also comes from Pinghai, Zhang Yang is still a little wary of him. After all, Shi Xuerong is a cadre in Nancy City. Nancy wants to digest his crime of embezzlement internally and does not want to cause too much impact. The city sends Zhang Yang to the Beijing Office to preside over the overall situation. This is the purpose.
