Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1466 has a plan

At the last ghost market in Tianjin, Xu Chunliang teamed up with Hua Zhuyue to bid for the Yuhuchun vase. The organizer was Jiang Yucheng, but this person is cautious and low-key and has never appeared in public. The person in charge of presiding over the auction was Liang Shangjun, a highly respected figure in the cultural relics circle.

Xu Chunliang decided to start with Liang Shangjun first.

Liang Shangjun has long faded out of the cultural relics circle, but he is still active in underground auctions such as the ghost market. In terms of seniority, he is above Xue in the south and Xie in the north. Ever since Xue Renzhong retired and Xie Boxiang passed away, the authority of underground appraisal has quietly fallen on him.

Xu Chunliang is not a man of the underworld, and he has no channels to contact Liang Shangjun, so he must ask Hua Zhuyue for help.

The two discussed it and made an appointment to meet with Liang Shangjun on the pretext of hiring a TV drama consultant.

Liang Shangjun has been living in Sixian Villa on the outskirts of Beijing for some time recently. The name of the villa implies leisure, idleness, leisure and free time.

The villa is very large and contains many collections.

Hua Zhuyue and Xu Chunliang parked the car, and someone immediately came to lead the way for them to the small farm in the villa.

Liang Shangjun raised quite a few pets, including chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, cows, horses, pigs and sheep. Although there were no rare birds or animals, he kept these pets clean and fed them so that their fur was bright and their bodies were fat and strong.

When I saw Liang Shangjun, he was bathing his pet horse. His white hair was tied into a small braid at the back of his head, and his sleeves were rolled up high. "Please wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

Hua Zhuyue smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, please be busy first. We will enjoy your garden."

Liang Shangjun said to his men, "Let's take the distinguished guest to the orchard first. The smell here is not good."

Xu Chunliang said: "It's okay, it's quite clean."

The two men followed Liang Shangjun's men to the orchard and sat down in the aluminum pavilion. A middle-aged woman came over to make tea for them. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Liang Shangjun came over and had changed his clothes.

Yuanyuan said: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Hua Zhuyue said, "The scenery at this villa is pleasant and the air is fresh. You won't feel bored even if you sit there for a whole day."

Liang Shangjun smiled and sat down: "When I get old, I don't like socializing. I just like to grow some plants and raise livestock. I grew up in the countryside and have a special affection for rural life."

Xu Chunliang said: "It is rare to see such a large farm near the capital."

Liang Shangjun said: "That's because you are not interested in this aspect. Without saying too much, there are at least ten villas of the same size as mine within a radius of ten miles. They are all for killing time."

Xu Chunliang said: "Mr. Liang has returned to the basics. You are the one who truly understands life."

Liang Shangjun felt very comfortable with his compliment and grinned: "At my age, there are really not many choices for entertainment." While speaking, he glanced at Hua Zhuyue and sighed in his heart that life is short and he is no longer lucky enough to enjoy the beauty of the world.

Xu Chunliang was very observant and cursed him in his heart, calling him an old pervert.

Hua Zhuyue said, "Mr. Liang, I came to you today to ask for a favor."

Liang Shangjun smiled and said, "Mr. Hua, you are too kind. How can I help you?"

Hua Zhuyue stated that she was planning to shoot a TV series about treasure hunting and needed a consultant in cultural relics history. Liang Shangjun was highly respected in this area, so she wanted to ask him for help.

Liang Shangjun smiled and declined after hearing what she said: "Boss Hua, it's not that I don't want to help, but I'm seventy-two years old this year. I'm old and my energy is not good. You should choose someone else."

Hua Zhuyue said, "Please don't refuse. We have considered it carefully. No one can replace your authority in this regard. Don't worry. The workload won't be too heavy. We will just give you advice occasionally and consult you on any matters we are unsure of. The remuneration is negotiable."

Liang Shangjun laughed and said, "Boss Hua, it's not about the money, but I don't like to be in the spotlight. In fact, there are many talented people in this field. If you really can't find a suitable candidate, I can recommend one to you."

Hua Zhuyue said: "To be honest, our drama mentions the ghost market, but not many people are knowledgeable about it."

Liang Shangjun was startled when he heard this. He slowly put down his teacup and said, "Boss Hua, since you came to see me, I still need to give you a piece of advice. Some content is too sensitive. It is better not to shoot it if you can. If it attracts the attention of the relevant departments, it will cause trouble to others and yourself."

His words obviously contained a threatening tone.

Xu Chunliang said: "Mr. Liang is wrong. A TV series is not a documentary. Everyone knows that this story is purely fictional. Any similarities are purely coincidental. Who would investigate and hold someone responsible for the content of a TV series?"

Liang Shangjun looked at Xu Chunliang and said, "Although I am not from the film and television industry, I know that every year there are TV dramas that are banned or ordered to be rectified because of the subject matter. Some things cannot be shown on the stage, why do you have to put these things in the sun?" He turned his gaze to Hua Zhuyue and said, "Boss Hua is also a man of the underworld, he should know the taboos of the underworld."

Hua Zhuyue said, "This is the original intention of inviting you to be a consultant. If we hadn't come to see you, we would have casually put the story of the ghost market on the screen and might have offended people without knowing why. With you at the helm, we can avoid risks to the greatest extent possible, don't you agree?"

Liang Shangjun said: "It sounds like it makes sense, but I still can't agree to it. As you can see, I am too busy to take care of other things on the farm."

Xu Chunliang said, "That's not right. I heard that Mr. Liang often presides over auctions in the ghost market. At his age, he must be working a lot."

The smile on Liang Shangjun's face suddenly faded, and he looked at Xu Chunliang warily and said, "Mr. Xu seems to have something else in mind!"

Xu Chunliang said: "Mr. Liang, you are overthinking. What I mean is that you are still strong and capable of serving as a consultant."

Liang Shangjun said to Hua Zhuyue: "Boss Hua, I have indeed presided over many auctions, but I have never seen forced buying or selling."

Hua Zhuyue could tell that his tone was getting hostile. It was obvious that Xu Chunliang's words had aroused the old man's anger. Hua Zhuyue was not frightened by his aura and said calmly, "It seems that we are being too sentimental. Chunliang, let's go." Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "I guess Jiang Yucheng is the only one who can ask Mr. Liang for help."

Liang Shangjun said angrily: "Young man, please explain clearly what you mean by this?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Don't be angry, I don't have any other intentions, I just said it out of my feelings."

Hua Zhuyue tried to smooth things over, "Mr. Liang, please don't argue with the young man. He always talks like this. Since you don't agree, we can't force you. We'll leave first."

Liang Shangjun said angrily: "I'm sorry I can't see you off!"

Hua Zhuyue and Xu Chunliang got into the car, started the car and left the villa. There was always a car following them, and it only stopped when their car left the gate of the villa.

Hua Zhuyue looked back and cursed, "This old man doesn't give me any face at all."

Xu Chunliang said, "This is an old pervert. He has stared at you for several times." While speaking, he gently pinched Hua Zhuyue's chest.

Hua Zhuyue couldn't help laughing: "Psycho, when everyone is like you, you are really, why are you so eager to anger him?"

Xu Chunliang said: "This old guy is actually a white glove."

Hua Zhuyue actually understood Xu Chunliang's intention of deliberately angering Liang Shangjun. He wanted to lure Jiang Yucheng to show up.

Hua Zhuyue said: "Jiang Yucheng is a very strange person. Although his name has always been known in the martial arts world, he rarely appears in public, and I haven't heard that he has any friendship with anyone."

"You don't know what he looks like?"

Hua Zhuyue said: "Come to think of it, I did meet him once, when the Sect Master was here, but we didn't talk, we just passed by each other."

Xu Chunliang asked: "What does he look like?"

Hua Zhuyue thought hard and said, "Very ordinary, nothing special about his appearance."

Xu Chunliang's cell phone rang. It was Meng Jing calling.

Meng Jinglai obviously wanted to make another effort: "Chunliang, how are you thinking about it?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Mr. Meng, I have carefully analyzed your sister's condition after I came back. I am really powerless to help her."

Meng Jinglai said, "Are you dissatisfied with the price? We can discuss this."

Xu Chunliang said, "Mr. Meng, you misunderstood. I am indeed tempted by the price you offered, but I really don't have that diamond. I hope you can understand."

Meng Jinglai sighed from the other end of the phone: "Okay!"

Meng Jinglai hung up the phone.

Hua Zhuyue asked curiously, "How much money does Meng Jinglai plan to give you?"

Xu Chunliang stretched out a finger.

"Ten million?" Hua Zhuyue had already said what she thought was an astronomical figure.

Xu Chunliang shook his head: "One hundred million."

Hua Zhuyue was stunned: "So much? I have never heard of such a high consultation fee, but you are worth it."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "You are really good at talking."

Hua Zhuyue said, "I'm speaking from the heart. Your consultation fee is definitely higher than the salary of top domestic celebrities. I think you should just practice medicine to help the world. If you treat a few difficult and complicated cases every year, you can earn a few small goals. If you work hard, you may become the richest man in the world."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Have you ever heard of anyone willing to casually spend 100 million to treat his sister's illness?"

Hua Zhuyue said: "Having not heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. After all, they are blood relatives. Besides, people like Meng Jinglai are all invisible rich people. Their strength is much stronger than some people on the wealth list. One hundred million is nothing to them."

Xu Chunliang said: "He is willing to pay more. What do you think this means?"

Hua Zhuyue said: "It shows that they have the ability, and it also shows that the relationship between the two siblings is indeed deep enough."

Xu Chunliang nodded and said in a deep voice: "It also shows that he is willing to pay any price to lure me into the game."

Hua Zhuyue glanced at Xu Chunliang and said, "Why did he have to bring you into this? You two have no grudges against each other."

Xu Chunliang said: "Everything happens for a reason. He must have a plan."
