Chapter 1291 Knocking on bones and sucking out marrow
The reason why Dean Wang did this was completely a misunderstanding in the beginning. He felt very depressed about being ignored by Su Group and Suning. After drinking too much at a banquet, he casually made up doubts.

However, there happened to be a reporter with no professional ethics at the banquet, so this reporter thought he had seen a big news that shocked the world, and then fabricated the news that "President Wang questioned the falsification of the Su Museum."

You should know that the Su Museum is now the most famous private museum in the world. Cultural relics enthusiasts from all over the world come to visit it every day. Such sensational news naturally quickly became the hot search of the year.

Many people who were unaware of the truth began to criticize the Su Group. The most common point of criticism was that the 120 yuan museum ticket was exploitation. Then some unscrupulous media even described the ticket issue as bone-sucking.

However, Dean Wang, the protagonist of the incident, was dumbfounded after he sobered up. It was a pity that the fermentation of public opinion had reached an uncontrollable level, and had directly put him in a high position.

Moreover, Dean Wang himself is indeed a weirdo. The first thing he thought of was not to go and refute the rumors. Instead, he gave up and joined forces with a group of like-minded experts to accept interviews from the media. He officially followed the media's unscrupulous motives and tone and began to criticize the Su Group and the Su Museum.

Huang Yimei, who had gone to contact Dean Wang, arrived at Suning's office with a depressed look on her face. "Boss, Dean Wang actually refused to attend the press conference and even said that we businessmen are unworthy of collecting such precious cultural relics. He advises us to donate all of these precious cultural relics as soon as possible."

"Oh? He is indeed a shameless and foolish villain." At this moment, Su Ning was almost laughing at the shamelessness of Dean Wang.

"Boss, what should we do next?"

"No problem! I can solve it with just one phone call."

"Uh……"

Then Su Ning no longer paid attention to Huang Yimei's face full of surprise, but directly picked up the phone on the desk. You know, it was Dean Wang's call at the last opening ceremony of Su's Building.

Su Ning dialed Dean Wang's number and said directly, "Hello! I'm looking for Dean Wang."

"It's me! Who are you?" Dean Wang's surprised voice soon came from the phone.

"Su Ning from the Su Group."

"Huh? Is there something wrong? I'm very busy here." Sure enough, Dean Wang on the other end of the phone seemed particularly guilty.

"If you and your lackeys don't show up at the press conference the day after tomorrow, I will file a complaint directly with the relevant authorities, accusing you of abusing your industry power and authority to bully returning Chinese."

Hearing Su Ning's threat, Dean Wang quickly pretended to be aggrieved and explained, "Mr. Su, this matter is really just a misunderstanding. I really don't want to see it turn out like this."

"President Wang, no matter what, you are a big shot in the industry. Don't let me look down on you." However, Suning warned President Wang cleanly and neatly.

"I……"

"What? Do you really think I, Suning, can't deal with you?"

"Mr. Su, what exactly are you going to do?" At this time, Dean Wang regretted it from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't be nervous! On the day of the press conference, not only will we be explaining the matter of the large Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain plate with a double dragon pattern playing with a pearl, but we'll also be entering into a huge bet with you. If you and your lackeys win the bet, the entire collection of the Su Family Museum will be yours."

"Huh? What if we fail?" However, the greedy Dean Wang asked the key question in confusion.

"Don't worry! We won't ask you to hand over the museum's collections. After all, those collections didn't belong to you in the first place. You just need to kowtow and admit your mistake in public." At this time, Suning naturally stated his request.

"What? Kowtow and admit your mistake?" As expected, Dean Wang was stunned by Suning's request. An industry authority like him naturally couldn't stand it.

"President Wang, adults are responsible for their own mistakes. You must pay the price for your mistakes."

"Humph! What's the bet?"

"You'll know when the time comes. Of course, you can refuse if you don't dare, but I believe you will accept the bet."

"..."

Then Suning didn't give Dean Wang any chance to react, but instead hung up the phone directly. This time, he must teach Dean Wang a lesson.

However, Huang Yimei, the female assistant standing by, was completely bewildered. She looked at Su Ning with a puzzled expression and asked, "Boss, why are you gambling with the entire Su Family Museum? Isn't this what Dean Wang and his gang want most?"

"Haha, without enough benefits, how can these people go crazy?" Suning said with a sneer on his face.

"Uh?"

“If you want to destroy a person, you must first make him crazy.”

"..."

……

The gambling agreement offered by Suning this time naturally made Dean Wang excited. The reason why he did so many things was simply to take the collection of the Su Museum for himself.

Although they still don't know what Suning is going to bet with them, since they have been given the right to refuse on the spot, Dean Wang and others have nothing to worry about.

One of the bald cultural relics experts said greedily, "President Wang, I think the Su Group has lost their minds this time. To prevent them from suddenly changing their minds later, it's best to stir up public opinion again."

"Huh? Not necessary?" But Dean Wang felt a little uneasy.

However, the bald expert was remarkably resolute at this moment, even shouting out a slogan for all humanity, "President Wang, how could such a fine collection fall into the hands of a businessman? We must seek justice for all humanity."

Dean Wang then expressed his concerns, "Old Liu, what you said makes sense, but we don't know what Suning is betting on yet. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to let the media get involved now?"

"That's fine! If it's something ridiculous to bet on, we can just refuse it on the spot." However, the bald expert said confidently.

"Ah! Well! These precious collections have fallen into the hands of a mere merchant. It is indeed a pearl falling into the mortal world."

"..."

Greed is a never-ending river. It not only devours all reason, but also leads people into the abyss.

At this time, Dean Wang and others were completely blinded by greed. They did not take into account any risks of this matter at all. Instead, they only saw the huge benefits brought by this matter.

Soon, President Wang and others informed the media of the matter, and then the entire domestic media went crazy, and a group of cultural relics experts who got the news gathered in Beijing.

Bai Xiaohe left the lab for a rare occasion and came to Suning's office and said, "Suning, my parents just called and said they want to see you."

"Oh? Why did my parents-in-law suddenly think of me?" Su Ning asked, looking at Bai Xiaohe in surprise. "They must have seen the recent news reports about you and Dean Wang making another bet. Maybe they're worried about you."

"That's fine! We'll go over there now. We happen to have two bottles of nice red wine for your dad."

"Hehe, you're just showing off your skills in front of Guan Gong. My father owns several private wineries in Bordeaux, France."

"Don't worry! Your father will definitely be amazed when he sees this wine."

"All right!"

Then Su Ning and Bai Xiaohe left the office directly. Huang Yimei, the female assistant outside the door, was naturally full of hostility. "Boss, are you leaving?"

"Yes! Dr. Bai and I are going out to do something, so we may not be back at noon." However, Suning explained without blushing or beating his heart.

"Ok."

Looking at the figures of Su Ning and Bai Xiaohe who looked like a perfect couple, Huang Yimei naturally felt the crisis at this time. You know, Su Ning is an absolute bachelor.

Huang Yimei also thought that Bai Xiaohe was very beautiful and had a temperament completely different from her own. Coupled with Huang Yimei's understanding of Su Ning's attitude towards matters between men and women, she had already suspected that the relationship between Su Ning and Bai Xiaohe was definitely not simple.

When Suning's Rolls-Royce Phantom appeared at Bai Xiaohe's doorstep, Bai Xiaohe's parents were already waiting there, which showed that they were very satisfied with Suning as their future son-in-law.

Bai Xiaohe introduced Su Ning to her parents with a smile on her face, "Mom and Dad, this is the Su Ning I was talking about."

At this time, Su Ning hurried forward to greet the two and said, "Uncle, aunt, hello! I am Su Ning."

"Suning, go home quickly. Auntie cooked a lot of dishes for you today."

"Thank you, aunt."

"I heard from Xiao He that the food you cook is also delicious?"

"It's OK! Mainly because I can't eat Chinese food abroad, so I tried to learn how to make some myself."

Bai Xiaohe's mother then asked a question, "Logically speaking, since you grew up abroad, you should be used to foreign food, right?"

"Maybe my stomach is Chinese. Ever since I was a kid, I've never been able to eat foreign bread and salad."

"Haha, then you have to try authentic home-cooked food today."

"it is good."

The Bai family's family dinner was naturally a joyful scene. After all, it was used to entertain their future son-in-law, and Bai Xiaohe's parents also observed all the etiquette.

Moreover, Bai Xiaohe's parents were both savvy business people, so they didn't ask any sensitive questions at the dinner table. Instead, they chatted casually as if they were chatting about family matters.

After dinner, the table was naturally cleared by Bai Xiaohe's servants. Bai's father and mother took Su Ning and Bai Xiaohe to sit in the courtyard and chat. The fragrant tea garden and private swimming pool both showed that the people here were either rich or noble.

Bai Xiaohe's father looked at Suning and asked, "Suning, I saw that the red wine you brought was actually Cheval Blanc?"

"Yes! It's the Cheval Blanc red wine from 1983. My uncle can help me identify it." Suning explained with a smile on his face.

"Château Cheval Blanc is a big winery. Although I also have a private winery in Bordeaux, France, it is still far behind this Cheval Blanc."

"My uncle is an expert in this field! I believe he will be able to rival Bai Ma in the future."

"Haha, I'm not an expert. I just like red wine. I don't have any big ambitions. I mainly see the winery as an investment project."

"Uncle, you are right."

Bai Xiaohe's father then asked the main question of the day, "Suning, I heard that you had a conflict with Director Wang of the museum?"

"Yes! Dean Wang has been pestering me, just to get me to donate the collections of the Su's Museum." Su Ning stated the fundamental reason without hiding anything.

Sure enough, Bai Xiaohe's mother became angry and said, "Huh? Isn't this too much of a bully?"

"Who said it wasn't? But considering his status in the domestic cultural relics circle, I have always been reluctant to pay attention to him. I didn't expect him to fabricate such a thing."

At this time, Bai Xiaohe's father looked at Su Ning in front of him and said, "Hey! You should have come to me first. After all, you have been doing business for so many years, and you must know some leaders. You should be able to stop Dean Wang's madness."

"It's a small matter! I can handle it here."

"The newspaper said that your Su's Museum is going to hold a press conference, and that you're going to make a bet with President Wang on the day of the press conference?"

"That's right! The Yuan blue and white porcelain plates that Dean Wang mentioned were originally a pair. When our Su family acquired them in Chicago, the one currently on display, with its double dragons playing with pearls, was already broken. As for the other, with its double phoenixes and peonies, it has never been exhibited."

"Huh? Broken? But I personally went to the Su Museum and saw that large Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain plate with a double dragon and pearl pattern, it was intact, right?"

"It's been restored! Even a normal magnifying glass can't see it. It requires a professional microscope to detect it."

Bai Xiaohe's father, who had been calm and composed all this time, couldn't help but be shocked. "Oh my God! Isn't it intact?"

Su Ning then continued with a nonsensical explanation. After all, with so much experience, the truth had long since dried out of his mouth. "This skill of restoring cultural relics is a family heirloom. I've been learning it since I was five years old. So, on the day of the press conference, I wanted to compete with Dean Wang in this."

At this moment, Bai Xiaohe's parents smiled with relief, feeling that their future son-in-law was truly remarkable. "I see! Could it be that you are so confident? It turns out you really are a real genius!"

"Uncle, Aunt, this matter hasn't been made public yet, so in order to ensure that I can defeat the enemy with one move on the day of the press conference, I hope you two can keep it a secret for me for the time being."

"Haha, that's for sure! After all, we are a family, how can we be so disloyal?"

"Uncle is right."

At this time, Bai Xiaohe's parents naturally had no objections to Suning. After all, it was not easy to find such a capable son-in-law.
