Jianbao life

Chapter 776 Repentance
"As the old saying goes, ignorance is bliss, and the ancients never deceived me!"

Chu Chen looked at Nan Nan who was smiling all over his face, and muttered something to himself, and then he took Wu Ke and Nan Nan to leave because he had something to do. After getting a taxi, seeing the two people leaving in a taxi, they happily walked back to the store.

Sitting in the taxi, Chu Chen said to Wu Ke with an apologetic face: "Ke Ke, I'm so sorry, I will definitely accompany you shopping again the day after tomorrow! Hiss..."

At the end of hearing, Wu Ke twisted Chu Chen's waist, and said angrily, "Do you think I'm a shopaholic, and I'm not happy to accompany you to buy something?"

"No way!" Chu Chen immediately apologized with a smile: "Didn't this delay our afternoon schedule?"

Wu Ke stretched out his index finger and tapped Chu Chen's face: "For me, whether it's shopping or shopping with you, as long as I can be with you, I'm very happy, and there is no delay. Yes, don't say that next time!"

"Ke Ke, I am also very happy to be with you!" Chu Chen was very moved when he heard the words, and suddenly hugged Wu Ke and kissed him.

"You don't even look here!" Wu Ke was blushed by Chu Chen's sudden attack, and slapped Chu Chen's arm a few times coquettishly.

Chu Chen laughed happily, and the driver in front also chuckled a few times when he saw this situation.

After laughing for a while, Chu Chen's cell phone rang suddenly, and when he took it out, it turned out to be Vincent's phone number, which made him a little strange, because according to the agreement, Vincent would send a car tomorrow morning Pick them up and call now, is something wrong?

While Chu Chen was thinking, he picked up the phone. The two parties exchanged some polite words, but Chu Chen always felt that Vincent seemed to be asking for something.

"Mr. Vincent, you didn't call here just to greet me, did you?"

Vincent probably felt that it was almost time to talk about serious business, so he chuckled and said, "Chu, I actually want to ask your permission for something."

Chu Chen heard his tone very polite, and knew that what he asked for should not be trivial, but he and the other party had nothing to do except tomorrow's exchange of cultural relics. Since the other party had something to ask for, it must be answered on this matter.

So, he frowned and asked, "Mr. Vincent, don't you want to exchange cultural relics?"

"NONONO!" Vincent said repeatedly that this was not the case, and said, "I like your "The School of Athens" very much, and I haven't changed my mind about bartering, it's just..."

Hearing Vincent's hesitation, Chu Chen really couldn't bear it. He said, "Mr. Vincent, just tell me what you have to say!"

"That's right!" Vincent considered the words for a while, and then said: "I know the value of your painting, and I also understand that if I want to exchange for your painting, I should use more than half of my collection. That’s fine. However, you also know that my family’s collection has a scale that can only be collected for hundreds of years.”

"Therefore, I would like to discuss with you, can those treasures be paid less, and others can be replaced by cultural relics of slightly lower value?"

Hearing Vincent's request, Chu Chen was speechless. He just wanted those national treasure collections, and he really didn't care for those with lower value.

Vincent actually understands Chu Chen’s thoughts. If it were him, he would not be willing, but as he said, these things are treasured by generations of people for hundreds of years. If he puts one of them Most of them were given to Chu Chen. To use the old Chinese saying, how could he have the nerve to meet his ancestors?
Vincent really still likes Chu Chen's painting very much, or in other words, he is eager to improve his reputation in the collection industry, so he quickly increased Chu Chen's price and said: "Chu, I also know that this request is very important to you. It is unreasonable, but I will definitely compensate you in other ways!"

Regarding this matter, Chu Chen was actually in a bit of a dilemma. First of all, he knew that good steel should be used on the blade. If he used the "Athens School" to exchange some relatively low-value objects, it would be a waste of money. It must be He didn't want to.But he didn't want to refuse the deal with Vincent, because among Vincent's collections, there were several items that he was determined to acquire, which made him feel very embarrassed for a while.

"Um?!"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Chu Chen's mind, and he suddenly thought that he did not only have one famous masterpiece like "The School of Athens", but the value of another work in the eyes of Westerners was not lower than "The School of Athens".There is an old saying that rare goods can be lived in. He did not believe that Vincent would not be tempted when he saw the painting that had been born.

"If you still don't agree, then there's no need for me to hang myself from a tree!" Chu Chen thought with the idea of ​​maximizing his benefits.His decision is definitely not the result Vincent wanted, but then again, when his ancestors robbed China, was it easy to talk?

"Chu, are you still listening?"

Hearing the voice from the mobile phone, Chu Chen came back to his senses and said, "Mr. Vincent, let's talk about this matter tomorrow after we meet. It's not clear on the phone."

Vincent felt that Chu Chen would not make a decision right away, so he called Chu Chen now to prepare Chu Chen, and he felt that since Chu Chen said so, there was still room for negotiation , so he immediately agreed happily, and after a few more pleasantries, he hung up the phone.

Seeing Chu Chen frowning after putting away the phone, Wu Ke couldn't help worrying: "Ah Chen, what happened?"

Chu Chen's expression is half true and half false. This is also because the painting has not been shown yet, so of course he has to show some corresponding emotions.But now he really felt a little tricky, because he really didn't know what reason he had to use to take out the painting hidden in the frame.

It can't be said that Chu Chen smashed the frame for no reason, right?And he even smashed out a painting, so it's no wonder Wu didn't think there was something wrong with him!Although Wu Ke knew the truth, he would not take the initiative to tell the secret, but as he said before, he has no plans to tell Wu Ke about it yet.

"Forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge head. It's a big deal. I'll just pretend to accidentally break something!"

Chu Chen, who couldn't think of a good idea after thinking for a long time, could only hold such an idea. Then, when he saw Wu Ke whose face was full of worry, he patted her little hand and said with a smile: " It's okay, it's just Vincent who gave me a problem..."

After speaking, he told Wu Ke what Vincent said on the phone just now.

After hearing the cause and effect of the matter, Wu Ke said with righteous indignation: "Why is this man like this! How can he go back on what he said!"

Chu Chen chuckled: "From his point of view, of course he wants to change as little as possible, but of course I can't be happy about this!"

"Achen, what are you going to do then?" Wu Ke asked, frowning.

"What should I do, of course it's cold salad!" Chu Chen spread his hands while grinning.

Wu Ke was teased with a "puchi" smile, and then said coquettishly, "Say it quickly!"
"Okay! Okay! I said it's not enough!" Chu Chen said with a smile: "Anyway, we are also a rare commodity to live in. I will discuss it with him tomorrow. If he still insists on this, then I will replace him. Anyway, our country is living in exile. There are tens of millions of cultural relics out there, I can't believe that only Vincent owns those treasures!"

"Yes! I support you. You shouldn't be polite when dealing with those foreign devils!" Wu Ke nodded heavily, and then she immediately remembered that the person driving in front was a foreign devil, which immediately made her a little embarrassed.

"Okay, he can't understand Chinese!" Chu Chen said with a smile.

Wu Ke heard the words and immediately realized that she was worrying too much. She immediately let out a long sigh of relief. That cute appearance made Chu Chen next to her smile knowingly...

The two returned to the room, put away their things, Wu Ke jumped onto the bed, and shouted, "I'm exhausted!"

"You will be tired too!" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"I'm human, how can I not be tired!" Wu Ke gave Chu Chen the look that you are an idiot.

"In the morning, you walked around for so long, and I didn't see you shouting that you were tired!"

"That's a woman's nature, okay?"

Speaking of this, Wu Ke got up from the bed, and when she mentioned the things she bought in the morning, she wanted to take stock of the gains in the morning.

Seeing Wu Ke take out each item to appreciate carefully, and then put on the accessories for himself to comment on, Chu Chen felt very warm, but when he saw Wu Ke picked up the bag containing the oil painting, his face I felt a little strange when I showed a disgusted expression on my face.

"Ke Ke, don't you like this painting?" Chu Chen asked.

"I like painting, but this thing was picked up from a trash can, God knows what's on it!" Speaking of this, Wu Ke thought that this painting might be stained with some very disgusting things, and suddenly I felt very disgusted, and the disgust on my face was even worse.

Seeing Wu Ke's reaction, Chu Chen immediately remembered that Wu Ke was a clean freak, which also reminded him of what happened back then.

The mountainous area where Chu Chen lived was very short of water. It is definitely impossible to take a bath every day like now, let alone every day, it is normal to take a bath every half a month.So, when he came to the capital, he had the same habit as before, and Wu Ke couldn't bear it anymore. Although her words were not harsh, they were still very unpleasant, and she tried every means to make Chu Chen develop a habit of loving hygiene. .

It can be said that some of Chu Chen's current living habits were formed during that time. At the same time, that time was also a past that he didn't want to recall. Given the situation at that time, he would never have imagined that he would be with Wu Ke now.
