Chapter 155: Happy Cooperation
Wu Zailin did not expect that his father, who had always been extremely majestic, would say such words, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not impossible. After all, his father really liked these paintings, especially Chen Li's paintings.
When "Light" was first exhibited, Wu Zhang stayed in the imperial capital for the entire exhibition period, and even participated in the subsequent auction, trying to auction off another painting by Chen Li, but was disappointed in the end. Return.
After arriving in the magic city, Wu Zhang even couldn't forget Chen Li's painting for a month. This time the Sheng family sent this painting to Wu Zhang as a gift, which was the best gift in Wu Zhang's heart. Of course, if the fake painting of the Chen family had not appeared, it would have been the most perfect birthday banquet for Wu Zhang.
Of course, Wu Zhang was just talking. Wei Chen had made it clear that he would not take advantage of Chen Li in the slightest. He asked Wu Zailin to relay his meaning in this way, which was just to embarrass both parties.
Wu Zailin didn't know what Wu Zhang and Jiang Ye said in private, so he felt a little embarrassed at the moment, "Dad, aren't you making things difficult for me and Wei Chen?"
Wu Zhang waved his hand and said, "Just talk."
Wu Zailin also said I didn't ask any more questions, and together with Wu Zhang, I once again focused on this painting. I just felt that the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and the more I looked at it, the happier I felt.
Chen Li's paintings have such magic power.
Whether it is Wu Zhang or Wu Zailin, they believe that over time, Chen Li will definitely become the most shining star in the international painting world!
Wu Zailin's eyes darkened slightly. He believed that when Chen Li rises, the treacherous Chen Yunlan will also be severely left behind by Chen Li!
After Jiang Ye and Sheng Tianqi got into Wei Chen's car, they sat quietly in the back seat. Wei Chen sat in the passenger seat. At Wu Zhang's birthday party just now, he toasted Wu Zhang with a glass of wine. Now Since his son couldn't drive, Wei Yan drove the car to the hotel where Jiang Ye and Sheng Tianqi were staying.
The atmosphere in the car was a little quiet for a while, but there was no awkwardness.
"Young Master Jiang." Wei Chen said, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
"Just call me Jiang Ye." Jiang Ye interrupted Wei Chen and introduced himself in disguise.
"Jiang Ye." Wei Chen said obediently, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I believe we are not people who mince words."
"Shouldn't we find a quiet place to stop and chat?" Jiang Ye didn't expect that. Wei Chen would be so impatient.
Wei Chen said: "To tell you the truth, I have booked a flight ticket back to the imperial capital tonight, so I probably won't have much time to stay in the capital." In fact, Wei Chen is already eager to return home, and when he thinks that his Chen Li is still waiting at home, When he went back, Wei Chen wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly back to Chen Li.
"Okay." Jiang Ye didn't ask the reason and said straight to the point: "I want to invest in the project in Area A." "
Young Master Jiang, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person." Wei Chen said without any expression on his face, "This project is now It's not in my hands, or in other words, I'm still fighting for this project, so it's too early to mention it to me."
It's just too early, not a waste of words, which shows that Wei Chen believes that he will definitely win it. this project.
"It's not early." Jiang Ye smiled meaningfully, and two pear nests appeared, making his handsome face even more outstanding, "What if I said that this project now belongs to your Wei family? "
Wei Yan had been listening to the conversation between the two people. When he heard what Jiang Ye said, his hand skidded and the car made a big S shape on the road. If there weren't many cars on the road at this time, there would have been a car accident. No.
What is the origin of this Young Master Jiang? How could he easily decide on a project that many forces in the Magic City are competing for?
Unlike Wei Yan who was shocked, Wei Chen acted very calmly, even as if he had known the result for a long time. No, it's not like that, but when Jiang Ye asked them to take them back to the hotel, Wei Chen had already guessed Jiang Ye's purpose.
So now Jiang Ye put forward his purpose, and Wei Chen accepted it calmly without being surprised at all. In fact, Wei Chen was waiting for Jiang Ye's words.
"Jiang Ye, we have a pleasant cooperation." Wei Chen turned around from the passenger seat and stretched out his hand towards Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye also reached out and took Wei Chen's hand. The two equally slender hands were held together. In the future, he created a world-shaking project in the Magic City and became another business card of the Magic City. It was used by other cities or other countries. Many have followed suit, but no project in any city or country can surpass the project completed by Jiang Ye and Wei Chen.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
Although Jiang Ye and Wei Chen have not signed a contract at this moment, the relationship of partners has been basically established.
Then, Wei Chen introduced Wei Yan to Jiang Ye and told Jiang Ye straightforwardly that Wei Yan would be responsible for this project.
Because it was inconvenient to drive, Wei Yan looked through the rearview mirror in the car and nodded to Jiang Ye in the back seat.
Jiang Ye didn't show any displeasure. He had seen Wei Chen's abilities during his last speech, and Jiang Ye had also read the exclusive interview with Wei Chen in the Business Magazine issue. And before coming, he went to his uncle Sheng Jiaqi to ask about Wei Chen. His uncle, a person who does not praise others easily, was full of praise for Wei Chen, so it goes without saying that Wei Chen's work ability .
And since he has cooperated with Wei Chen, he also has to trust Wei Chen's vision. Wei Chen thinks Wei Yan is a good person, so that's fine. He believes that Wei Chen will grasp the general direction behind the scenes.
Wei Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Jiang Ye accepting him like this. He was suddenly confused about what kind of person Jiang Ye was.
A dandy with a big heart that can hold everything? Do you think you can get a return just by investing? Or is this just Jiang Ye's principle of employing people? If you don't use people with suspicion, don't use them?
Wei Yan couldn't understand, but he didn't think too much about it. Since they trusted him, he could just do it boldly.
Anyway, if something goes wrong, Wei Chen and Young Master Jiang will be there to help. Wei Yan's optimism can always be solved, but is it actually a kind of confidence in his own ability?
Not long after, the car stopped in front of the hotel where Jiang Ye and Sheng Tianqi were staying. After Wei Chen and Wei Yan watched the two enter the hotel, Wei Yan drove Wei Chen to the airport.
In the car, Wei Yan couldn't help but ask: "Why did Mr. Jiang ask us to cooperate? There are many people in this magical city who want this project, and there are even more people who are more suitable than us." This was Wei Yan's doubt. Just now Jiang Ye was in It’s inconvenient to bring it up.
Wei Chen said: "We are the most suitable." His tone was full of certainty and confidence.
"Why?" Wei Yan asked subconsciously.
"Because I believe you." Wei Chen said. There was no emotion in this sentence, it was just stating a fact.
Wei Yan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He knew that Wei Chen was just stating the facts and there was no sensationalism at all. However, Wei Yan was shocked by this simple sentence of "I believe in you" and suddenly felt his eyes burning.
This feeling is like having persisted and worked hard for many years, and finally one day was recognized by his imaginary opponent, and a very important project was handed over to him without reservation. At this moment, Wei Yan felt My life has not been in vain, and so many years of secret efforts have not been in vain.
The car drove smoothly on the road and soon arrived at the airport. Wei Yan watched Wei Chen walk into the airport. At this time, Wei Yan saw Wei Chen's impatience.
He didn't know what kind of feeling this was, but Wei Yan envied this kind of feeling for no reason. No matter where you go, at a certain point in the crowd, there is always someone waiting for you to come back.
Once your heart has a home, you will never wander anywhere.
Wei Yan smiled before starting the car and leaving the airport.
When Wei Yan arrived at Wei's house, Butler Zhang was already waiting for him in the living room. When Wei Yan came back, he immediately greeted him.
"Master Yan, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Butler Zhang said and took Wei Yan to Mr. Wei's study.
"Master, Master Yan is back." Butler Zhang knocked on the door of the study room. It wasn't until the voice of "Come in" came from inside that Butler Zhang opened the door and walked in with Wei Yan.
"Grandpa, are you looking for me?" Wei Yan calmed down the frivolous expression on his face in front of Mr. Wei, and stood in front of the desk honestly.
Mr. Wei is practicing calligraphy at the moment. He writes in cursive script, one stroke at a time, and it is difficult for anyone but himself to see what he writes.
After finishing writing, Mr. Wei looked at Wei Yan and said, "Achen told me
everything." Wei Yan could guess what was said without Mr. Wei having to say it clearly. It was nothing more than the project in Area A. .
Wei Yan was a little nervous now, because he was not sure whether Mr. Wei's opinion on this matter was for or against it.
"Since I have given Achen the full responsibility for this matter, I will not interfere with what he wants to do." Mr. Wei said expressionlessly: "And Achen believes in you, so you must not let Achen down." Chen's trust in you."
"I understand." Wei Yan replied, and then he realized that Mr. Wei's purpose was not to oppose or agree, but just to give him a heads up.
"I won't say how important this project in District A is. If it really falls into the hands of my Wei family, just complete it with all your heart." Mr. Wei continued: "You are not young anymore, you have to do it. Show me your results."
"I understand, grandpa." Wei Yan replied solemnly. In his heart, he was thanking Wei Chen. He knew that because of Wei Chen, his grandfather would let him go and give him a chance.
In this case, he naturally has to submit an answer sheet that satisfies everyone. At this moment, Wei Yan's heart was stronger than ever.
After saying what needed to be said, Mr. Wei waved Wei Yan out. When there were only him and Butler Zhang in the study, Mr. Wei said: "Achen is becoming more and more mature, and he is becoming more comprehensive in doing things. Now, it wouldn't be a bad thing to give him three years of freedom and let him go out on his own."
"Yes, Master Chen has always been excellent." Butler Zhang agreed from the side, with a hint of pride in his eyebrows.
Chapter 156 Fraudulent Organization
After Wei Chen arrived at the airport, it was still half an hour before the plane took off. Wei Chen wished that the half hour would pass in the blink of an eye, and even wished that the more than two hours of flying on the plane would pass in the blink of an eye. In this case, he can return to Li Li immediately.
Although he was about to board the plane, Wei Chen still made a call to Chen Li. Almost as soon as the beeping sound appeared on the phone, the call was picked up, and Chen Li's slightly sleepy voice came from the phone.
"Achen, are you back?"
Hearing Chen Li's voice, Wei Chen softened, "I'm at the Magic City Airport now and will be back soon."
"Oh." Knowing that Wei Chen has not returned yet In the imperial capital, Chen Li's voice was a little disappointed. "Li Li, you go to bed first. I'll find you right away when I come back." Wei Chen could hear the sleepiness in Chen Li's voice. It was almost eleven o'clock now. Normally, Chen Li would have gone to bed long ago.
Chen Li couldn't help but yawned and said, "I'll wait until you come back."
This was Chen Li's insistence. Although he was sleepy, he couldn't sleep without Wei Chen around.
"Okay, then you wait until I come back." Wei Chen didn't want to force Chen Li. Knowing that someone was waiting for him to go home, Wei Chen couldn't help but feel countless warm currents gathering in his heart, and the coldness of early spring couldn't offset it. of warmth.
The two didn't talk much after that, but neither of them hung up the phone. At this time, the other party's breathing was so pleasant that even if they didn't speak, they would be reluctant to hang up the phone.
It wasn't until the airport announcement rang that Wei Chen reluctantly hung up the phone, picked up the ticket and quickly boarded the plane, as if he could fly to Chen Li immediately. Zhuge Yu poured a glass of milk from the kitchen and left. He went to Chen Li who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, handed the milk to Chen Li, and said: "Li Li, go to bed. Wei Chen will be back as soon as you wake up."
Chen Li shook the milk in his hands He shook his head, and then yawned uncontrollably.
Chen Li was really sleepy, with physiological tears appearing in the corners of his eyes. His big eyes were usually squinted, but mentally he had to resist the heavy sleepiness, and his whole person looked tense.
Zhuge Yu shook his head helplessly. He couldn't remember how many times he had persuaded Chen Li to go to bed. Even if Chen Li was sleepy, he would have to wait until Wei Chen came back.
Zhuge Yu turned his head and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost one o'clock in the morning, and he couldn't hold it any longer.
"Xiao Li, drink the milk first." Zhuge Yu gave up trying to persuade Chen Li to go to bed, and instead told Chen Li to drink the glass of milk he had just poured for him.
Chen Li nodded, took a few sips of milk obediently, and then his eyes fell in the direction of the door.
"Xiao Li, can you wait by yourself? The teacher went up to sleep first." Zhuge Yu yawned greatly. He couldn't stand it anymore. He was old and couldn't stay up late.
Chen Li nodded and took another sip of milk, as if this would make him soberer.
Although Zhuge Yu couldn't bear it anymore, he still watched Chen Li drink a glass of milk before returning to his room. The moment his head occupied the pillow, Zhuge Yu thought of nothing and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
Not long after Zhuge Yu returned to the room, Chen Li's cell phone rang. It was Wei Chen calling, but Chen Li couldn't wait to pick up the call without looking at the caller ID.
"Li Li, I'm back, at the door."
At this time, Wei Chen took into account that everyone else was asleep, so he didn't ring the doorbell, but called Chen Li. He knew that Chen Li was still waiting for him to come back. .
Hearing Wei Chen's voice, Chen Li suddenly sat up from the sofa, and then ran to open the door for Wei Chen without even wearing slippers.
The door opened, and Wei Chen was standing outside. Although his face was expressionless, his eyebrows were soft.
The journey was covered with stars and moons, and the journey was dusty. After seeing Chen Li, all the fatigue disappeared immediately, and the whole person was full of energy.
"Li Li, I'm back." Wei Chen came in and closed the door to prevent the cold wind outside from blowing to Chen Li.
"Yes." Chen Li nodded, and then threw himself into Wei Chen's arms. It was only one day, but it felt like a century.
Wei Chen stretched out his hand and stroked Chen Li's back, resisting the urge to hold Chen Li tightly in his arms, because Wei Chen knew that it wouldn't take long for Chen Li to fall asleep in his arms. As expected, not long after, Chen Li Long breathing came from Wei Chen's arms, and he was obviously asleep.
Wei Chen shook his head, gently picked up Chen Li horizontally, and steadily carried Chen Li into the guest room. When he put Chen Li on the bed, Wei Chen reached out and grabbed Chen Li's feet. Just now because of his eagerness, his feet stepped on the cold floor, but now Chen Li's feet are still cold.
Wei Chen's hands were warm. He held Chen Li's feet and warmed them. Perhaps it was a little itchy, but Chen Li couldn't help but move in his sleep, trying to pull his foot away from Wei Chen's cell phone. Wei Chen became playful and held Chen Li's feet tightly. Chen Li twisted a few times uncomfortably and shouted "Achen."
Chen Li's voice was still in his sleep. Wei Chen felt a little dazed, a little soft, and sounded a bit like he was being coquettish. Wei Chen felt hot in his heart, and he felt that Chen Li's feet were also hot. The heat spread from his hands to his whole body, and Wei Chen felt like he was getting an electric shock. He let go of Chen Li's feet, looked at Chen Li with fiery eyes, and finally entered the bathroom helplessly.
That back view looks a bit like the wind rustling and the water is cold.
By the time Wei Chen's body heat subsided, it was already two o'clock in the morning. He lay down next to Chen Li. As if Chen Li had sense, he turned over and rolled into Wei Chen's arms. He placed his hand on Wei Chen's body domineeringly, but the whole person shrank into Wei Chen's arms and rubbed against Wei Chen's chest.
Wei Chen naturally hugged Chen Li closer. Wei Chen didn't feel tired before going to bed. But now, while holding Chen Li, Wei Chen felt all the exhaustion rushing towards him at once. He only focused on pressing a kiss on the top of Chen Li's head and gently kissing her. After saying good night, he hugged Chen Li and fell asleep deeply.
Because the most important person in their lives was beside them, the two slept very peacefully.
There was no dream all night, and in the blink of an eye it was dawn.
Although Zhuge Yu went to bed late, decades of biological clock still told him to get up on time at half past six. The first thing he did when he got up was not wash his face and brush his teeth, but go to the living room to see if Chen Li had gone in to sleep. .
When he saw that there was no one in the living room and an office bag fell alone on the ground, Zhuge Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Wei Chen was back last night.
After making sure Chen Li went back to sleep, Zhuge Yu returned to the room, threw himself on the bed, closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
Anyway, today is the weekend, so I can sleep in as long as I like.
Zhuge Feng, however, does not have a biological clock as punctual as Zhuge Yu's. On weekdays, Zhuge Feng can get up on time. As soon as rest days come, Zhuge Feng becomes useless and has to sleep until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.
So when the sun was getting higher and higher, the Zhuge family was still quiet.
Wei Chen closed the curtains before going to bed. It happened that the light transmittance of the curtains was not very good. Even if he slept until ninety o'clock in the morning, the room was still as dark as it was at five or six o'clock in the morning.
When Chen Li woke up, he really thought it was five or six in the morning. He nuzzled into Wei Chen's arms hazily, closed his eyes and planned to continue sleeping. He slept too late last night and was not fully awake yet.
Wei Chen woke up, but with Chen Li in his arms and a rare rest day, Wei Chen got lazy and hugged Chen Li and didn't want to move.
After another half hour or so, Chen Li finally woke up. He raised his head and kissed Wei Chen's stubbled chin, and said sleepily: "Achen, morning." "Morning." Wei Chen replied to Chen Li. A light kiss, hugging Chen Li but still not wanting to get up. Chen Li didn't remember that he hadn't seen Wei Chen for so long yesterday, so he wanted to hold Wei Chen for a longer time.
The two of them lay on the bed for nearly half an hour, until Chen Li's stomach made a gurgling sound, telling his master that he was hungry. Wei Chen and Chen Li got up from the bed, washed themselves, and then Went out of the room to look for food.
At this time, Zhuge Yu and Zhuge Feng both got up. They were not surprised when they saw the two walking out hand in hand and said good morning to them = everyone on the table had already prepared breakfast, and Zhuge Yu greeted the two of them over. Have breakfast.
Porridge and side dishes are a very common breakfast, but they are also frequent guests at the breakfast table of brothers Zhuge Yu and Zhuge Feng.
The porridge is warm and you can drink it directly. Chen Li is really hungry now. After Chen Li took a few mouthfuls of the lukewarm porridge, it bottomed out.
Zhuge Yu couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Li, drink slowly, no one will compete with you." Chen Li drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl and said honestly: "I'm hungry." Wei Tan didn't say anything, but he held a A chopstick of Chen Li's favorite dish was put into Chen Li's mouth.
Chen Li opened his mouth naturally, then quirked his eyebrows at Wei Chen and smiled.
The two older singles at the dining table only felt a bit disgusting when they saw this scene and couldn't bear to look directly at it. However, they were still infected by the warm atmosphere emanating from Wei Chen and Chen Li, with a faint smile on their lips. .
After breakfast was finished, Zhuge Feng took today's latest newspaper and read it carefully. Zhuge Yu would come over to take a look when he saw a title that interested him, and Zhuge Feng would greet Zhuge Yu when he saw interesting news. Come and see.
Although the two brothers no longer have their significant other, they support each other and live happily.
"Zhuge Yu, come and take a look." Zhuge Feng saw more interesting news this time and asked Zhuge Yu to come over.
Zhuge Yu immediately put his head close to it.
This news was the front page headline of this newspaper. It said that the public security department had uncovered a fraud organization. This fraud organization had a complex staff and obvious division of labor. The public security department had been on duty for two years before they uncovered this organization.
What Zhuge Feng wanted Zhuge Yu to see was the organization's fraud methods.
There are specialized art masters in their organization who copy famous paintings and other internationally renowned works of art, and then use various means to buy these fakes to those who need them, thereby defrauding huge sums of money.
So far, they have succeeded dozens of times, and each time the amount was huge. The total stolen money has exceeded one billion!
