Chapter 132

Chapter 132

The old man has a strong personality, but he doesn't like to use a nanny at home. He usually does most of the things he does himself.

Once when I went to the storage room to get something, my foot slipped and fell when I stepped on the ladder, causing a fracture in my thigh. I went to the hospital for an operation, which resulted in a cerebral infarction and the sequelae of hemiplegia.

How can an old man with a strong personality endure lying in bed all day?

He was so angry that he couldn't eat. He only lasted three months after the operation before he died due to rapid body function failure.

For this reason, the descendants of the Jin family fought a long-term lawsuit with the hospital. In the end, the hospital admitted its failure and paid more than one million yuan to settle the matter.

There are still a few years before Jin Zhengqing falls off the ladder, so there is no need to remind him for the time being.

And even if reminded, the old man might not listen.

As the saying goes, life and death are determined by destiny, wealth is in heaven, and things that can affect the future are things that Jiang Zhihao doesn't want to do unless he has to.

Sitting in Jin Zhengqing's old Santana, the two came to a teahouse.

Elderly people generally like to drink tea. This is a tradition left over from the old times. When they have nothing to do, friends hold teapots and chat in the teahouse, which makes them happy.

Entering the second floor of the teahouse, Jiang Zhihao saw several men of different age groups sitting at a table. Jin Zhengqing greeted these people familiarly and introduced Jiang Zhihao's identity.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Zhihao has no identity to introduce. He is unknown in both the collecting and business circles.

Those few people were not curious about a nameless little person, so they greeted him casually and ignored him.

For them, equal status qualifies them for equal communication.

Collectors are mostly arrogant and judge their collections based on their collections. If you don't have something that attracts their attention, it's impossible to gain respect.

Just like in the circle of calligraphers, how can a person with ugly handwriting be treated warmly?

This situation made Jin Zhengqing somewhat embarrassed, but Jiang Zhihao did not show any abnormality.

Integration into the circle depends on both strength and opportunity. In terms of mental state, Jiang Zhihao has already surpassed ordinary people, so how could he feel embarrassed because of such a trivial matter in front of him.

He just observed these people silently, not to mention actually recognizing the identities of two of them. They are both relatively famous collectors in recent years.

But Jin Zhengqing didn't think so. He brought Jiang Zhihao here just to allow this young man to communicate more with people in his circle. Now that no one cares about him, wouldn't it look like he is losing face?

So Jin Zhengqing took the initiative and said: "This little friend Jiang who came with me, don't underestimate him. Thanks to him, I got a treasure today."

As soon as Jin Zhengqing opened his mouth, he immediately attracted the interest of several other people. One of them, a man named Huo Xinjue, who was about fifty years old, asked curiously: "What Mr. Jin can call a treasure must not be an ordinary thing. I don't know what it is."

What baby?"

Jin Zhengqing said proudly: "Zhang Guolao meets the Ming Emperor."

Several people were stunned when they heard this, and Huo Xinjue said: "Mr. Jin, are you kidding me? You acquired the scroll of Zhang Guolao meeting Emperor Ming more than ten years ago. What does it have to do with this person?"

"What you don't know is that the scroll I got back then was just a defective product, the top layer of the whole painting." Jin Zhengqing explained: "And Jiang Xiaoyou happened to have a keen eye for pearls. From a copy of Wang Shimin's painting,

I recognized that the third layer below was the authentic work of Ren Renfa. He used very superb peeling and mounting techniques, which opened my eyes. Only today did I get the complete picture scroll. Do you think this is a treasure?"
