1342: Chapter 1343: You Understand Art?
Jiang ng was about to explain.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, “I know a little about it, but I wouldn’t call it proficiency.”
“Oh right, I bought a painting at an exhibition last ti for ten million Euros.
I’m feeling uneasy about whether it’s truly an original Van Gogh.”
Flora chuckled and brought over her luggage.
She retrieved a painting from it, which was elegantly packaged.
Xiao Chen glanced at it and said, “Miss Flora, you really like to joke.
This painting does closely resemble Van Gogh’s ‘Montmartre Street Scene.’
But it carries the painter’s own unique interpretation and intent.
If I’m not mistaken, this should be a reproduction by Master Rota.
It’s not worth ten million Euros, but it could be worth at least one million.”
Hearing this, Flora looked utterly surprised.
He could tell who painted it with just a glance—this is incredible.
“I’m truly impressed, thoroughly impressed!”
Flora repeatedly praised, “Master Rota is considered the greatest contemporary impressionist painter.
He started by reproducing Van Gogh’s works.
Now, he has developed his unique style.
His art is highly collectible.”
“Miss Flora, do you like Master Rota’s paintings?”
Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
“Yes, I indeed like them.
It’s a pity I missed his exhibition; I don’t know when the next one will be.”
Flora sighed.
“Well, you’re in luck.
Master Rota will be holding an exhibition next month in Capital City.
If you’re interested, you must go check it out!”
Xiao Chen replied casually with a grin.
“Why haven’t I heard about this?”
Flora was dumbfounded.
Even her family wasn’t aware of it.
Xiao Chen chuckled lightly.
When he wanted Rota to co, Rota would co.
After all, he and Rota shared a life-and-death camaraderie.
“I heard it from a friend,” Xiao Chen said casually.
Flora stared at him for a mont, smiled, and said nothing further.
After the al, Xiao Chen went to handle matters related to the orphanage.
Jiang ng and Flora tidied up the kitchen together.
They chatted casually as they worked.
Flora frequently ntioned Xiao Chen in her words, as if probing for information about him.
Even though Jiang ng wasn’t particularly sensitive to such matters, she noticed: “Flora, my man isn’t up for grabs.”
“Huh?”
Flora was montarily stunned but then burst into laughter: “Jiang ng, you’ve misunderstood .
I just feel that your man is so remarkable.
Why would he agree to be a live-in son-in-law?”
“Who knows, maybe he’s so big shot simply experiencing life.”
Jiang ng replied casually.
“Haha!” Flora chuckled and said nothing more.
After cleaning the kitchen, Flora ntioned she was tired and went off to rest.
A room had been specially prepared for her in the courtyard.
Once inside, Flora’s expression shifted imdiately.
She pulled out a peculiar device and scanned various areas of the room.
“No bugs found.”
Flora nodded to herself, putting the device away, then took out a large satellite phone and dialed a number directly.
“President, do you rember the Jiang ng I ntioned before?”
“Yes, I rember!
What about it?”
A woman’s voice ca from the speaker.
“President, I’ve discovered sothing unusual about Jiang ng’s husband.
Your judgnt is correct; Jiang ng might indeed be under soone’s control.
Her husband might have an agenda for becoming her partner.
This man, Xiao Chen, has docunts that appear straightforward, yet President, do you know?
This man is practically an artist of the culinary world.
He identified Rota’s painting with just a glance.
I feel sothing’s off about him.
Since we’ve decided to recruit Jiang ng into the Salvation Society, we must ensure she isn’t deceived by this man.”
Flora said.
“Hmm, you make a good point.
But be extrely cautious.
If he’s truly extraordinary, there’s a good chance he’ll notice your intentions.
Be very careful.”
“Understood, President.
I’ll be cautious!
However, I may need to stay in Dragon Country for a while longer, at least until his mask is torn off.
We cannot let our ally be deceived by n like him.”
Flora declared.
Finishing her words, Flora ended the call, carefully placing the satellite phone into a secret compartnt in her suitcase, which was almost impossible to locate.
anwhile, Xiao Chen appeared at the Chen Family residence.
The Chen Patriarch, Chen Laobing, looked at the man before him and then at the dal Xiao Chen presented.
Terrified, he fell to his knees with a thud.
“Chen Laobing, I wouldn’t have had to co in person for this matter.
A few economic tactics could bankrupt every company the Chen Family owns.”
“But after reviewing your profile, you seem relatively upright on most occasions.
Unfortunately, you have two useless sons, Chen Yong and Chen Chuan.”
“I’m only here to warn you: transfer the land near the orphanage to .”
Xiao Chen idly toyed with the dal in his hand as he said casually, “Here’s the contract.
Read it and sign it.
Don’t accuse of bullying you.
I’ve already doubled the paynt; you won’t be shortchanged.”
“No, no, no!
If you want the land, we’ll gladly hand it over.
How dare we ask for money?”
Chen Laobing replied anxiously.
“Are you trying to make commit a mistake?”
Xiao Chen’s voice turned icy.
“No, no!”
Sweat poured down Chen Laobing’s forehead.
He hurriedly signed the contract, transferring that entire plot of land to Xiao Chen.
“If you truly feel taking my money is inappropriate, then donate more to the orphanage.
It’s ti that orphanage expanded.
The kids don’t even have a proper play area.
How about building a playground next to it?”
Xiao Chen smiled.
“Got it!”
Sweat dripped from Chen Laobing’s face to the ground, and he was thoroughly frightened.
“Alright, I’m leaving.
Rember to keep an eye on your two sons, otherwise they might not know when their end will co!”
Xiao Chen stood up and left, moving as ghostly and elusive as when he had arrived.
Chen Laobing didn’t dare raise his head for a long ti.
He remained kneeling for over ten minutes before finally getting up.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he muttered, “Those two idiotic sons of mine—anyone but him.
Did they really have to provoke soone like that?
Are they tired of living?”
“Soone, bring Chen Chuan back!”
Chen Laobing realized he had to take action imdiately.
Otherwise, if Xiao Chen were to get angry, he’d be utterly ruined.
Xiao Chen returned ho to find Jiang ng and Flora sitting in front of the TV, watching a concert.
The television was playing piano music titled “Victory” by one of the world’s top three masters, Mirodi.
In Dragon Country, Western music enthusiasts weren’t particularly common.
With the influx of Western influence, certain values and cultural subtleties had gradually made their way into Dragon Country.
A large number of so-called upper-class individuals would often have their children study music.
Piano and violin were the most popular choices.
Of course, Xiao Chen couldn’t deny that, whether it’s Beethoven or Schubert, their music truly has the power to stir the soul.
