Jianbao life

Chapter 189 Apprenticeship
However, while buying some gifts in the store in front of the hospital, Chu Chen accidentally ran into Feng Bohong's son-in-law. As soon as the two met, the man warmly shook hands with Chu Chen, which really made Chu Chen feel a little bit awkward. Don't think about it, and I don't know you well, is it necessary to be so enthusiastic?

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Cao Hui. I run a cultural company now. I don't know what your name is?"

Although Chu Chen felt a bit abrupt, he still replied politely: "Miangui, your surname is Chu, I don't know what's the matter with Mr. Cao?"

Cao Hui chuckled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to talk to Mr. Zhao about something, and I don't know how to contact him. I'd like to ask, what is your relationship with him?"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "He's my uncle. If you need to ask him for something, just go to his company?"

After the incident last time, Cao Hui also specifically inquired about Zhao Qirui's information. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him was actually Zhao Qirui's nephew, and when he thought about his surname Chu, he immediately thought that this person in front of him probably belonged to another behemoth-like family One of the members, this immediately lifted his spirits.

To be honest, although he is in awe of Zhao Qirui, in the end, only a small part of his family's strength is reflected in "politics", but the old Chu family is different, a real political family.If I can make friends with the young man in front of me, let alone business, my father-in-law's steps in the officialdom are very likely to take another step or two, and this will benefit him, there is no doubt about it.

Thinking of this, Cao Hui quickly said to Chu Chen with a smile all over his face: "So it's Young Master Chu, I'm really disrespectful. In fact, it's not a big deal for me to find Mr. Zhao, just let you know."

"Well, please tell me."

Although Chu Chen is not used to Cao Hui calling him "Young Master Chu", just like what his master said before, more and more people will come to curry favor with him in the future, and he will have to get used to this kind of address sooner or later, so there is nothing wrong with it. Say more.

Cao Hui said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhao likes antiques. I learned from my friends that at the end of the year, Xiangjiang held an internal exchange meeting. I heard that there are national treasures in it. I don't know if he has any. Not interested in participating?"

When Chu Chen heard that this was the case, he immediately felt a little interest, and said, "My uncle is definitely interested in this matter, but you also know that he is usually busy, so as to whether to go or not, you have to ask him what he wants .”

"it's okay no problem!"

Cao Hui had thought about this answer beforehand, and he wasn't too disappointed. However, when he saw Chu Chen's expression, his mind suddenly moved, and he asked, "I don't know if Young Master Chu is interested in this aspect?"

Chu Chen laughed and said, "I'm just in the antique business, do you think you're interested?"

Cao Hui was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly said: "I will definitely contact you when the time comes, but I don't know your contact information?"

"That's really troublesome for you." After handing him the business card, Chu Chen said.

Cao Hui took the business card respectfully, handed his own to Chu Chen, and said with a smile, "Why is it troublesome? It is my honor to serve you. My company specializes in painting and calligraphy. Modern works are the main ones, if you are interested someday, you can come to my company for a walk."

"Okay, I will definitely go when I have time."

Chu Chen didn't expect that Cao Hui was actually in the painting and calligraphy business. It was a coincidence that he lacked a channel for painting and calligraphy.

"At that time, I will wait for your arrival."

Then, with a smile on Cao Hui's face, he said, "Young Master Chu, go and do your work, and I won't bother you."

Chu Chen nodded, and walked towards his car. He also understood Cao Hui's idea, but he didn't dislike this kind of people. It was the same as the Ding kiln dish that was sold to Mr. Liu. If it wasn't for trying to make better deals with him, how could it be sold so cheaply?

Of course, this kind of person is just like what Mr. Liu said, if the character is good, then you can still date, if the character is too bad, it's better to end it as soon as possible, otherwise you will definitely suffer from it

After that, Chu Chen went to buy some toys, and then drove to Zhou Wenping's new home.

*********************************
In ancient times, recruiting disciples was a big deal, especially closed disciples.

The traditional master-student relationship is second only to the father-son relationship, which is the so-called "parents who give birth to me, masters who teach me" and "becoming a teacher is like reincarnation".In some industries, as soon as you enter the teacher's door, you are all disciplined by the master, and your parents have no right to intervene or even meet each other.Establishing such a significant relationship naturally requires grand customs and etiquette to confirm and protect it.

At that time, the etiquette of appreciating a teacher was very complicated. It was very solemn to pay homage to the ancestor, the protection god of the industry, perform the ceremony of appreciating the teacher, and give a final lecture.

Today's society is different. Apprenticeship is rarely such a hassle. Wrap a red envelope and offer tea, even if the apprenticeship is over.Moreover, many people don't pay too much attention to the relationship between master and apprentice. Even if some people leave the teacher, although the two parties will not be like strangers, they will not be too close.

However, Mr. Liu still attaches great importance to Chu Chen, and Chu Chen is also a person who respects his teachers, and he will not be too casual when he is a teacher.Just because of the identities of the two parties, and it is the new century after all, Mr. Liu also decided to keep everything simple, and just invited some relatives and friends to come to his side to witness.

Of course, there is also Mr. Liu's desire to protect Chu Chen. After all, Chu Chen is too young, and his background is too strong. Youdao is a big tree that attracts the wind. People with ulterior motives may cause trouble for him.

On such an important day today, Chu Chen woke up early, tidied himself up, then drove to Uncle Wu's house, had breakfast there, and took Uncle Wu to Liu's hometown.

When Chu Chen and the others came to Liu's hometown, two guests had already arrived. After Liu Qinshu introduced each other, he realized that these two were exactly the two senior brothers that Chu Chen had heard about.

Senior brother Yu Renpeng is an old man in his mid-century, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, with a serious appearance, he looks like an old pedant.He is now a professor at the Department of Archeology at Capital University, and he is good at identifying bronze and jade wares, and has also done some research on porcelain.In the future, Chu Chen's postgraduate stage will be to study with him.

The second senior brother Yi Hongguo is a man around 40 years old. He looks tall and strong, with a strong back and a strong waist, and he has the characteristics of a soldier in his body, but in fact he is indeed a policeman.Don't look at his rough appearance, he is not only the owner of Shanghai Jushangde Jewelry, but also a senior cultural relic appraiser, good at calligraphy, painting and miscellaneous appraisal.

"Senior brother, since you are good at authenticating calligraphy and painting, how do you start a jewelry company?" Chu Chen couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard that Ju Yi Hongguo was the owner of a jewelry company.

Yi Hongguo said kindly, "Hey, it's not because of your sister-in-law. She likes this. When she was chasing her back then, she gritted her teeth and entered this business just to please her."

At this time, Mr. Liu came out from the back room, and said with a sneer, "Hey, others forget their friends when they see sex, but you forget your teacher after seeing sex. Originally, I planned to let you have greater achievements in this industry. What happened?"

Yi Hongguo laughed and said, "Master, I haven't let go of what you taught me in the past few years."

Mr. Liu snorted coldly: "You still have the face to say, if you hadn't changed your career to engage in gold and diamonds, and then indulged in expanding your business, would your current achievements be like this?"

Yi Hongguo scratched his head and smiled, without defending himself. He also knew that what the master said was right. If he hadn't reinvented himself, his achievements in antiques would have been much higher than he is now.

Hearing this, Chu Chen said, "Brother, you are in the business of gold jewelry. I thought you were in the jewelry business of jade or jadeite jewelry."

Mr. Liu took the conversation and said, "If he makes jade-like jewelry, I won't scold him, after all, it can be matched with antiques, right?"

"Hey, I didn't do it before, but the price of jadeite has been rising recently, and our company also wants to enter this industry."

Liu Qinshu laughed after hearing the words: "Brother Yi, then you have to ask Ah Chen for advice."

"How to say?" Yi Hongguo asked curiously.

"What should I say, Ah Chen is very good at betting on stones. As far as I know, he even gambled about four or five yuan on glass."

"real?!"

Hearing what Liu Qinshu said, Yi Hongguo's face was full of disbelief.

"No need to talk, this is still false, if you don't believe me, ask Ah Chen yourself."

Chu Chen hurriedly said modestly: "Hehe, it's all just luck."

With Chu Chen's affirmation, Yi Hongguo's eyes lit up immediately, and he said excitedly: "Junior brother, why don't I invite you to our company as a stone gambling consultant, money is easy to talk about."

"no!"

Boss Liu said with a straight face, Chu Chen was a good young man whom he finally met, and no matter what he said, he couldn't let his apprentice be ruined.

Yi Hongguo saw that the master was really showing signs of anger, and quickly said: "Master, don't get angry, it's bad for your health, I'm not just joking."

"Hmph, it's strange to believe you!"

Yi Hongguo said solemnly: "Really, I promise not to ask my junior to be a consultant in my company."

Seeing Yi Hongguo's firm expression, Old Liu calmed down a bit: "I hope you really remember your words."

Yi Hongguo said speechlessly: "Master, is my reputation so bad? But, can we discuss something?" At the end, he smiled at Liu Laomei

"What's the matter? Let me tell you, don't make any foolish ideas!"

Yi Hongguo said with a smile on his face: "Next month, there will be two large jewelry companies in Pingzhou hosting a large-scale jade fair. After all, my company is just trying my hand at it. Can I ask my junior brother to help me?" Go check it out? Please don't worry, I will definitely not bother my junior brother."
