pinnacle of power

Zhu Yunxing said with a wry smile: "It's very simple, it's the relationship of interest!"

Liu Qingyu said with some surprise: "He is a master of calligraphy and painting, how could he have an interest relationship with these officials and businessmen?"

Zhu Yunxing said: "This is actually not complicated. Because Zheng Guowei is a master of calligraphy and painting, his calligraphy and painting are still quite valuable in the calligraphy and painting market in Tiandu Province. Of course, as for how much it is worth, different people have different opinions. Standard. As far as I know, according to the market price, this master Zheng’s calligraphy works cost 1000 yuan per character, while calligraphy and painting works cost 2000 yuan per square foot! Normally, it is still worth this price. Of course, Master Zheng’s works The reason why it is not very high is that Master Zheng is generous and likes to give away his own works. Many officials have collected Master Zheng's works. The second is because the market capacity of calligraphy and painting in Tiandu Province is limited.

Of course, for ordinary citizens, even if Master Zheng's works were half the price, they would still not buy them.Even if they wanted to buy it, they couldn't find a way to buy it.Master Zheng's works are generally only circulated among merchants and officials.And it seems that Master Zheng himself seems to have a relatively strong ability to control the sales price of his works, which is also the real reason why the prices of his works have not been high. "

Liu Qingyu rolled his eyes when he heard this, he always felt that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that, as a master of calligraphy and painting, who doesn't want his works to be as valuable as possible, and the higher the price, the better.But why did Master Zheng use this method to control the sales price of his works?Does it do him any good?

It doesn't do any good to think about it.You know, as an artist, in this generally impetuous society, what will be used to measure your artistic value?The selling price of the work!In order to hype up their works and their prices, many artists even spend huge sums of money on advertising in major train stations and various crowded places to increase their popularity. Why?Not even money!The higher the popularity, the more money.

But why does Master Zheng want to control the sales price of his works?

Although Liu Qingyu only met this Master Zheng once, but Liu Qingyu could tell that this Master Zheng was definitely not as gentle and elegant as he appeared on the surface, because there seemed to be a trace of hostility in his eyes, This shows that this person is definitely a ruthless person.

Moreover, when this person looks at people, his eyelids are turned upwards, which shows that this person is very powerful. This can be seen from the pleasantries with the deputy mayor and the businessman just now. At that time, this master of calligraphy and painting was just That Deputy Mayor Sun exchanged some pleasantries, but as for the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau and a few wealthy businessmen next to him, he didn't even mean to be humble.

How could such an obviously powerful person be a person who knows how to be restrained and doesn't like to take advantage of things?How could it be possible to give up the benefits that are about to be obtained?

Absolutely impossible.But he did so, which shows that there is definitely something wrong with this person.

Almost at that moment, Liu Qingyu quickly analyzed many things in his brain.

While chatting, the two entered the hall and sat down directly at the partition of Zhu Yunxing's private seat.

It is very unfortunate that in the private seat directly opposite to Liu Qingyu's private seat, sitting are the calligraphy and painting master Zheng Guowei and others who walked in just now.

Since the partition of the entire private seat is separated by a movable screen, the size of the partition is adjusted according to the number of people who are scheduled.Therefore, the partition opposite is obviously larger than Liu Qingyu's private room.

The two sides are only separated by a corridor, so they can see each other.However, due to the distance of six or seven meters, when talking to each other, if the voice is lower, the other party will not be able to hear it.

After Liu Qingyu and Zhu Yunxing sat down, they ordered the dishes, and they started chatting.

After chatting for a while, the food came out, and the two of them ate while talking, having a good time.

At this time, Liu Qingyu's WeChat rang, Liu Qingyu opened the WeChat and saw that it was from Cao Shuhui, asking what Liu Qingyu was doing?

Liu Qingyu said he was eating.

Cao Shuhui said: "I don't believe it, are you dating beautiful women again? I want to see what's going on at the scene, so you can send it to me."

In desperation, Liu Qingyu could only take out his mobile phone, and took a video around the entire private room, especially including Zhu Yunxing, so as not to make Cao Shuhui suspicious.

Now Liu Qingyu feels quite speechless sometimes.After experiencing the explosion, Cao Shuhui became more and more clingy to him.Almost every night, he had to call or send WeChat to check Liu Qingyu's post, which made Liu Qingyu a little helpless.But Liu Qingyu also knew that Cao Shuhui loved him deeply.And Liu Qingyu also knew that Cao Shuhui was not worried about having an affair at all, because Cao Shuhui was quite confident in herself.However, this did not prevent Cao Shuhui and Liu Qingyu from making such small jokes.This is also a way of acting like a baby invented by Cao Shuhui, a young couple who can't get along with each other for a long time.

For Cao Shuhui, the hero who gave birth to twins for the Liu family, Liu Qingyu naturally doted on her, and naturally would not refuse Cao Shuhui's various requests.

After Liu Qingyu looked around and took pictures of the entire partitioned room, he sent it to Cao Shuhui, and at the same time said immediately: "My wife, look, the person opposite me is Zhu Yunxing, should you rest assured this time?"

Only then did Cao Shuhui snort coquettishly and said, "Hmph, you have a conscience."

When the WeChat chat between Liu Qingyu and Cao Shuhui was in full swing, in the opposite partition, Deputy Mayor Sun Qingcheng saw Liu Qingyu took out his mobile phone and took a picture around their partition, and there was a period of time, The situation on their side was also photographed.

Sun Qingcheng's face darkened immediately.

As a deputy mayor, he is very clear that the eight regulations and six prohibitions are now strictly implemented, and it is very sensitive for officials to participate in various banquets.Originally, he didn't want to come to participate in this kind of occasion today, because he knew that according to his level, he couldn't win the private room of Tianfu Hotel at all, at most he could only book the elegant partition, although there is a certain degree of privacy, But after all, there is still a certain risk of exposure.

But since the dinner tonight was organized by Zheng Guowei, a master of painting and calligraphy, he had to give it face, and he had heard about Chu Xiongjin and Le Wenqiang, two big figures in the business circles of the city, since Zheng Guowei personally organized the dinner for him. The two match up, and he can't help but give this face.After all, many times, he still needs to rely on Zheng Guowei.And since the dinner was at night, it was not part of working hours, and he was not eating and drinking with public funds, so he reluctantly came to participate.And he also knows that there are still quite a few leaders who come to participate in private dinners like Tianfu Hotel. They all play their own games to avoid accidents.

But just now, Sun Qingcheng saw Liu Qingyu taking a video with his mobile phone, which made his nerves tense up.

As a deputy mayor, he is still quite vigilant.Therefore, Sun Qingcheng frowned and said at that time: "Master Zheng, did you see that the man on the opposite side actually took pictures of us with his mobile phone."

When Sun Qingcheng was talking, Liu Qingyu happened to take a mobile phone around their private room to shoot. After the end, Liu Qingyu immediately sat down and sent Cao Shuhui a WeChat message.

Seeing this, Zheng Guowei's face darkened at that time, and he said directly to the two bodyguards: "You all deleted all the videos and photos on his mobile phone for me in the past."

The two bodyguards immediately stood up and walked towards Liu Qingyu and the others.

These two bodyguards were the same two bodyguards who pushed Liu Qingyu and Zhu Yunxing earlier.

When Liu Qingyu came in, one of them stretched out his hand to Liu Qingyu with a gloomy expression and said, "Give me the phone."

Liu Qingyu couldn't help frowning: "Give you the phone? Why?"

While talking, Liu Qingyu put the phone in his pocket, and his face couldn't help but look ugly.

This is the first time Liu Qingyu has seen someone so strong and unreasonable, especially when the two of them savagely pushed him and Zhu Yunxing aside when they were going up the steps, Liu Qingyu clearly I clearly remember that now, these two people actually want to ask for their mobile phone.

This made Liu Qingyu quite unhappy.Therefore, Liu Qingyu responded forcefully without hesitation, and did not give the other party any good looks.

Seeing that Liu Qingyu had installed his cell phone, the bodyguard close to Liu Qingyu immediately became dissatisfied, and stretched out his hand to grab Liu Qingyu's collar, wanting to arrest Liu Qingyu.

How could Liu Qingyu let him catch him, and he pushed the opponent's hand away with one hand, and said coldly: "Don't make any moves."

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxing was a little unhappy.

This Liu Qingyu is also his guest after all, and now that he invites Liu Qingyu to dinner, the two want to snatch Liu Qingyu's mobile phone without asking any questions. Isn't this obviously bullying?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxing stood up angrily, and said coldly: "Two friends, what do you mean? We are eating our meals well, and you came to snatch my friend's mobile phone. What is the reason for this? Are you Don't you know that robbery is illegal?"

"Slap!" The bodyguard behind slapped Zhu Yunxing's face fiercely with his big mouth, staring at Zhu Yunxing coldly with fierce eyes and said: "It's none of your business, just stay with me honestly, and chatter again Tell me to cut you!"

After finishing speaking, the bodyguard also pointed at Liu Qingyu and said with a grim expression: "You kid immediately take out your phone and delete all the videos and photos on it, otherwise, you don't even want to get out of this room!"
