The hand of the city covers the sky

On the way to Xu's villa, Shi Haodong chatted with Xu Qing a lot, and learned that Xu Qing's father, Xu Yuanshan, was living in Changzhu City, Xu's hometown. In recent years, he no longer cared about Donghua Group's affairs and let Xu Qing manage them. He also lived up to Xu Yuanshan's expectations, managed the Donghua Group in an orderly manner, and thrived day by day.

But it is very rare to not go to work for no reason like today, so she naturally didn't say it.

Xu's Villa is located in the east of Huangkou District, near the border with Shajianzi District.The scenery here is pleasant, the air is fresh, but it is the best environment in Huangkou District, the most suitable place for people to live, and because it is close to the commercial area of ​​Huangkou District, the land is very valuable, it can be described as an inch of land and an inch of gold .

The style of Xu's villa is that of European architectural style. The house is surrounded by trees and trees, and the birds are singing and dancing in it, giving people a fresh and comfortable feeling.

The servants drove the car and parked it. Shi Haodong followed Xu Qing into the hall, raised his eyes and scanned the hall, and saw that the whole hall was decorated not only with dignity, but also with an elegant atmosphere, which indirectly showed the owner of this villa The taste is not comparable to that of the nouveau riche.

Suddenly, Shi Haodong inexplicably felt an urge to meet Xu Qing's father, the commercial overlord of Huaxing City.

A maid in her fifties came forward and said to Xu Qing: "Miss, when can we serve dinner?" While speaking, she glanced at Shi Haodong, as if she was a little surprised that Shi Haodong and Xu Qing came back.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Mama Wu, my friend will also stay here for dinner, I will call you later, you go down first."

Mama Wu responded.

Xu Qing turned her head and said to Shi Haodong: "Sit on the sofa in the living room for a while, I'll go up and look for it for you." Immediately, she called two maidservants, took the one from Shi Haodong's hand, and went upstairs.

Shi Haodong walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down for a while, while Xu Qing took a calligraphy and painting down.

Xu Qing went to sit next to Shi Haodong, spread the calligraphy and painting on the table in front, and a large freehand painting with splashed ink was immediately displayed in front of her eyes.

This painting is a painting of chrysanthemums and bamboos. It is unrestrained and unrestrained. It doesn't stick to details. The strokes are simple and meaningful, but it has clear layers and is extremely vivid. Even Shi Haodong, who doesn't know how to paint, can feel the extraordinaryness of this painting.

Looking at the signature, the word "Xu Wei" suddenly appeared in front of him.

Seeing these two words, Shi Haodong was not very surprised, but Xu Qing was taken aback, and immediately suppressed her surprise, smiled and said: "This painting is not bad, if you give it to someone, I guess he will would like it."

Shi Haodong noticed Xu Qing's surprise, and asked, "Tell me honestly, does this painting have a lot of background?"

From Shi Haodong's words, Xu Qing heard that Shi Haodong noticed the surprise just now, and said with a smile: "It's not too expensive, it's just a work of a Ming Dynasty painter."

In fact, the painter who made this painting is not young, he is a representative of freehand splash-ink painting, and this painting of chrysanthemum and bamboo is even more representative. If it is put up for auction, it can be worth hundreds of millions at least.

Shi Haodong picked up the painting and looked at it for a while. Although he felt that this painting was extraordinary, he didn't know what was so good about it. He immediately decided to go back and find someone to ask. Well, I will accept this painting first."

Xu Qing immediately said: "Then let's have dinner." She then called Mama Wu to have dinner.

The two of them had a meal in the restaurant, Shi Haodong saw that it was already late, and bid farewell to Xu Qing, Xu Qing sent Shi Haodong out, but on the way, he met Xiaogui who came back after fooling around.

Xiaogui was overjoyed when he saw Shi Haodong, and then saw Xu Qing, realizing that he would be criticized for going out for fooling around, and ran away as if to escape.

After leaving Xu's villa, Shi Haodong got into a taxi, poked his head out to wave goodbye to Xu Qing, and ordered the taxi to drive to Tianmen Mountain in Sankou District.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when we returned to our residence in Tianmen Mountain. Liu Xu was watching TV on the sofa. When he saw Shi Haodong coming back, he asked Shi Haodong where he was today. Shi Haodong handed the painting in his hand to Liu Xu and said, " I went to look for this painting today and came back, so the gifts should be settled."

Liu Xu opened the picture scroll and was shocked when she saw the word Xu Wei. She was not Shi Haodong. She didn't know who Xu Wei was. After laying down the painting, he immediately asked, "Where did you get this painting? Is it a fake?"

Shi Haodong said: "The person introduced by Brother Sen should be trustworthy, and it shouldn't be a fake. What's wrong?"

Liu Xu thought for a while, and felt that there should be no problem with the person introduced by Brother Sen. After all, with Brother Sen's status, if anyone dared to lie to Shi Haodong, it would be a long life for the old birthday star, so he immediately said happily: "This picture of you How much did you get for the painting? You can make money now."

Seeing Liu Xu's expression, Shi Haodong knew that the painting must be of great value, and said, "I bought this painting for 25 yuan, and I still owe the money to him. Did I earn or lose it?"

When Liu Xu heard Shi Haodong's words, she couldn't help giving Shi Haodong a blank look, and said angrily and amusedly, "I've made it! You've made dozens of times, do you know that? Is it because fools are lucky?"

When Shi Haodong heard what Liu Xu said, he immediately understood in his heart that Xu Qing gave him a big gift, and he thought about it again. If she took this painting back and returned it to Xu Qing, she would definitely not want it, and he would just find a way to make it up to her in the future. .

Thinking about it this way, I also found it ridiculous. With Xu Qing's net worth, she really doesn't care much about the usual millions of things, so what compensation do I get?It seems that this time, as Shi Fei said, he is going to be a badass.

Immediately said: "This painting should be able to be given away, right?"

Liu Xu nodded, and immediately asked, "Is it a little too expensive?"

Shi Haodong laughed and said, "I'm afraid that Deputy Director Xue won't accept it. The more expensive it is, the more he owes me. It will be easier to talk to him when I ask him to do something in the future."

Liu Xu thought for a while, and felt that Shi Haodong was right, and asked Shi Haodong, "Then when do you plan to send it?"

Shi Haodong said: "I'll make a call and ask Brother Sen." After speaking, he took out his mobile phone, dialed Brother Sen, and said, "Hello, Brother Sen, I'm Xiaodong."

"Xiaodong, what's the matter?"

"I want to ask when your eighth master will come back. I just found a gift for Director Xue."

"I was just about to tell you about this. Ba Ye said that when your new Internet cafe opened, he personally brought Deputy Director Xue to your place to congratulate you. By the way, Deputy Director Xue praised you in front of Ba Ye and said It was because you handled things properly when you were in Xiaoshan, it seems that Deputy Director Xue appreciates you very much."

Shi Haodong and Sen Ge chatted on the phone for a while, and ended the call.

The next day, Shi Haodong called again to thank Xu Qing, and then went to the new Internet cafe to see how the preparations for the opening were going.

Shi Pan has always been in charge of the new Internet cafe. Up to now, the decoration and machines in the Internet cafe are ready to be continued. Shi Pan has recruited two network administrators who specialize in watching Internet cafes, and hired three temporary workers to distribute leaflets in the nearby streets. Build momentum for the opening of the new Internet cafe.

Then I went to the Sanmao Internet Leisure Club for inspection, and asked Zhou Dazhi about the situation of the Sanmao Internet Leisure Club. I learned that the police came to check it every day for the past two days. Fortunately, no minors were allowed to go online in the past two days. It was not caught, and because of this, the business was a little worse.

In the next few days, Shi Haodong and Shi Pan were concerned about the opening of the new Internet cafe, so they took the time to visit the construction site in Lantian Mountain, inspected it, and saw that everything was in order, so they were a little relieved.

22 On this day, only two days before the opening of the new Internet cafe, Shi Haodong was directing Shi Pan and a group of people to set up the new Internet cafe in the new Internet cafe. There were three motorcycles parked, and one person sat on each motorcycle. The upper body was wearing a vest, with bare arms, muscular and very strong.

When the man on the motorcycle saw him coming out, he took off his helmet and revealed his true colors, but he was a bearded man with a very sturdy appearance.After taking off his helmet, he said, "You are Shi Haodong, right?"

Shi Haodong said: "I am Shi Haodong, are you?"

The bearded man said: "Don't worry about who I am? I'm just here to tell you, be careful, don't think that you have Dongbang backing you up, so you just drag you around. I'll kill you soon Will come to collect."

Shi Haodong sneered in his heart, if not unexpected, this bearded man must be a member of the Qingshan Gang, he dared to come to Hebin Road to play wild, he was really impatient.Walking towards the bearded man, he said, "You and I didn't seem to know each other before."

The bearded man glanced behind Shi Haodong, saw Shi Pan leading someone out, sneered, and said, "I forgot to tell you, my name is Han Fei, and the guy you and Du Qing messed up in Aegean Sea Bar is my little brother." , you wait to pay the price for that."

When Shi Haodong was about to speak, the bearded man put on his helmet suddenly, and rushed out at a high speed.The other two motorcycles followed closely behind and sped away.

Shi Pan looked at the three motorcycles, and said to Shi Haodong: "Brother, who are those people? Why do they seem to be here to find fault?"

Shi Haodong said: "That man is one of the Four King Kong under Li Zhi. He is nicknamed the Bandit. I heard that he has been in the limelight recently. He has a younger brother named Brother Bi. He was killed by me, Brother Meng, Du Qing did it, I'm afraid he will come to seek revenge."

"Bandits?" Shi Pan also became confused, and then said, "Should we be careful of the people from the Qingshan Gang recently?"

Shi Haodong said: "Not yet. Li Zhi said that he will not do anything for a month. He is Li Zhi's subordinate, so he should not disobey Li Zhi's order." After thinking for a while, he added: "What we should beware of now is Director Du, he must have been very unwilling to let me go under the pressure of Deputy Director Xue last time, and he will definitely look for another opportunity to trouble us."
