The duel at the top of Yunfeng Mountain has come to an end.
Jiang Chou Mian checked the time and could indeed go back to work. This seemed to be just a small episode and did not have much impact on her work.
After returning to the company, Jiang Chou Mian's mind was not on work at all.
All she could think about was Chen Jianghe, because Wang Jingshan gave her a strong sense of crisis. Jiang Choumian knew that if she didn't take the initiative, Wang Jingshan would snatch Chen Jianghe away.
"Oh, what should I do?" Jiang Chou Mian was worried.
A day passes by in a hurry.
Chen Jianghe did not notice anything unusual about Jiang Chou Mian. Instead, he received a call from Zhang Qianhe before leaving get off work. Zhang Qianhe's tone on the phone was solemn.
"Uncle Zhang, what happened?" Chen Jianghe asked.
"Did you encounter another accident over there in the small building?"
Zhang Qianhe shook his head: "It has nothing to do with Xiaolou, but I can't explain it clearly on the phone. Let's talk in person."
"See you at the Lakeside State Guesthouse in half an hour."
Chen Jianghe was suspicious, always feeling that Zhang Qianhe was mysterious. But he also knew that Zhang Qianhe's tone would not have become so solemn if he had not encountered something particularly important.
After agreeing, Chen Jianghe came to Jiang Chou Mian's office to explain the situation.
"ah?"
Jiang Chou Mian looked surprised, "What are you going to do again?"
Of course, Chen Jianghe would not tell Jiang Choumian that he was going to have dinner with Zhang Qianhe. He casually said, "A friend is looking for me to have dinner tonight, so I have to go first."
Jiang ChouMian bit her lip and stopped talking.
In fact, she had decided to take the initiative and invite Chen Jianghe to dinner. This was a decision that Jiang Choumian took a lot of courage to make. Who knew that Chen Jianghe's plan had changed?
"Mr. Jiang, what are you thinking about?" Chen Jianghe was confused.
Jiang Choumian shook his head and didn't think much. He looked at Chen Jianghe with a suspicious look on his face and asked, "Is this friend of yours a boy or a girl?"
Chen Jianghe laughed loudly. It turned out that Jiang Choumian was worried about this. He said truthfully: "He is a man. He should be regarded as one of my elders. Now Jiang can rest assured."
Jiang Chou Mian was indeed relieved. She was afraid that Chen Jianghe would be dating Wang Jingshan and abandon her.
"snort."
"What should I worry about? I just want to ask clearly. Don't misunderstand me." Jiang Choumian still spoke harshly, but regretted it after saying it, fearing that Chen Jianghe had not misunderstood.
but.
How could she hide her little thoughts from Chen Jianghe?
Chen Jianghe just smiled without saying anything, then turned around and left the company, heading to the Lakeside State Guesthouse.
The Lakeside State Guesthouse is the highest-standard hotel in Linzhou City. During conferences, it is even specially used to entertain dignitaries and foreign guests. You can imagine its status.
Zhang Qianhe specially booked a box and stood at the door of the box waiting for Chen Jianghe.
Chen Jianghe saw Zhang Qianhe standing at the door, walked up quickly and said, "Uncle Zhang, what are you doing? You should pay more attention to rest due to your current physical condition. Don't tire yourself out."
"It's okay, just stand there for a while." Zhang Qianhe pulled Chen Jianghe into the box and closed the box door.
After Chen Jianghe took his seat, he stared at Zhang Qianhe, "Uncle Zhang, what happened?"
Zhang Qianhe poured wine for Chen Jianghe, and then said: "Eat something first, and then I will explain to you, whether this matter is big or small, it is not small."
Putting aside the curiosity in his heart, Chen Jianghe ate something and drank half a glass of wine before asking: "Uncle Zhang, you'd better tell me quickly. Seeing your mysterious look makes me very anxious."
Zhang Qianhe sighed, lit another cigarette and said, "Xiao Chen, I want to tell you some bad news. I hope you will be mentally prepared now."
Chen Jianghe frowned.
"Do you still remember that when you asked me to look for something, I found an antique calligraphy and painting related to 'Kuafu' some time ago. Many people participated in the bidding at that time, so I spent 230 million yuan on that painting.
Take the picture." When Zhang Qianhe said these words, Chen Jianghe took a breath, that's 230 million, which is not a small amount.
Chen Jianghe could also guess that things would not go so smoothly.
really.
Zhang Qianhe paused and then said: "You should be able to guess that something went wrong later. Otherwise, I should be able to deliver the painting to you now."
"Uncle Zhang, what happened?" Chen Jianghe felt itchy in his heart, eager to know the truth.
"This morning, my people flew back to Linzhou from Zijing Island. Not long after they got in touch with me, my people lost contact with me. Until an hour ago, I asked someone to go to the hotel where he was staying to find him.
, and found him dead in the bathtub. There were no wounds on his body, and the painting disappeared without a trace." Zhang Qianhe said in a deep voice.
Chen Jianghe's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
As expected, things did not go so smoothly, and another accident happened.
"Uncle Zhang, do you have a photo of that painting? Let me take a look first." Chen Jianghe suggested.
Zhang Qianhe nodded, and after a few fiddles with his phone, Chen Jianghe received ten photos, all of which were from various angles of "Kuafu Zhuri".
This painting looks ordinary, nothing special.
At least Chen Jianghe didn't see any tricks.
"Uncle Zhang, you spent so much money on this painting? You should tell me in advance. I feel sorry for wasting so much money." Chen Jianghe always felt that Nuwa and Kuafu were just tricks to tease people.
.
He was also curious about where Zhang Qianhe got the news.
Zhang Qianhe sighed, "Xiao Chen, I don't want to hide it from you. This auction actually does not belong to formal channels, so very few people know about it, but as far as I know, many forces are paying attention to this auction.
And I’m a businessman, so you should know why I want to cut it off first and tell it later, because I’m afraid you’ll laugh at me if I tell you.”
Chen Jianghe was stunned for a moment, and soon figured out that the reason why Zhang Qianhe did this was just to make Chen Jianghe think of him well, so that he could take good care of Zhang Xiaolou when Zhang Qianhe died in the future.
Facing the magnanimous Zhang Qianhe, Chen Jianghe couldn't blame him.
At least Zhang Qianhe is not the kind of villain who is only interested in profit.
"Uncle Zhang doesn't have to be like this." Chen Jianghe said.
"If you have any trouble, just tell me, and you won't be allowed to do this again."
"Let's talk about the painting."
Zhang Qianhe was ashamed, and then revealed a detail to Chen Jianghe - the starting price of the painting was 10 million, and after many rounds of bidding, it climbed to 230 million.
"And those participating in the bidding are all well-known forces, such as a large family in the north of the country, a mysterious organization overseas, and even an agent supported by a certain country." Zhang Qianhe said.
"If this thing wasn't important, there would be no need for them to kill my people and take away the painting."
