Poison Veleno

The test is not cheap. This guy needs three injections a day, and it will be a big problem if the injection is delayed.About $32000 a year? "

Tong Yan considers this figure to be expensive, but to her, it is not an expense that needs to be considered frugally at all, even if she takes her current income lightly, it is still a small problem.Handed a business card to Susie and said: "This is my contact information. If Uncle Fan needs anything, please notify me immediately. Money is not a problem. The first thing to consider is Uncle Fan's health. I am his Stepdaughter, her daughter is my sister."

Chapter 24 Chapter 24 (two in one)

When Tong Yan returned to the hotel, he bumped into Lilith and her assistant walking back with a smile.The assistant looked relieved, and greeted Tong Yan, "Lilith is so kind to us, when are you going to propose..."

Tong Yan was speechless for a moment, Lilith took Tong Yan's hand, "Tong, let's go in."

The assistant looked understanding, winked and walked away.

Tong Yan said: "Lilith... what's going on? Didn't I just say..."

Li Lisilla pulled Tong Yan into the door and said: "Tong, I understand, you like Mi, and I can understand that you love her. She is your sister, isn't she? But it's not like you and me. Look, if it's that kind, Why would she want to get married? Tong, it’s not that I don’t want to let go. You can ask her, if she is willing to make it public with you, I will agree to break up! Tong, I am willing to do everything that Miqing can’t do. I know you It takes time, and I will give you time. You will definitely fall in love with me."

Tong Yan couldn't accept it, and said: "Lilith, do you know what you're talking about? I'm cheating! I'm still sleeping with other women behind your back... Do you understand? It's none of Mi's business , this is a problem between the two of us. I admit, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have such an irreversible relationship with you like a bastard, but Lilith, I can't let myself make the same mistake again and again! I'm sorry for you I feel guilty, I feel like I'm a scumbag. Do you think I'm a scumbag? Is this the kind of me you like? "

"If you love Mi that much, can't you...love me that much?" Tong Yan wasn't sure if Lilith's words were imploring.

Tong Yan thought of Lilith's cuteness, how could he not be moved, but it couldn't reach that level. "I like you, Lilith, only to like..."

Lilith said: "Okay. But I have a request, wait for three months. I will not look for you during these three months, you are free. If you don't want to turn back at all during this period, I will not force you. Tong, you are too I was impulsive. You and Mi are separated like this, do you want to do the same to me?"

Tong Yan moved back to the studio and still paid off the one-year lease for Lilith.Tong Yan went to see the houses around the Vatican several times, and confirmed the decision to find a decoration company within three months of waiting for the real estate certificate.

Lilith doesn't seem to be sentimental, and she doesn't resist Tong Yan's offer.Work and study as always.Let Tong Yan feel at ease by making up for it.Tong Yan found that Lilith was surprisingly similar to herself in abiding by social laws.

Tong Yan learned from Xu Ru's WeChat circle of friends that she bought a house with more than 6 square meters, and the decoration was magnificent.Bought A[-]L.Speculate in stocks, learn piano and cooking, post travel photos in your circle of friends.Tong Yan guessed that his words had worked, and felt a little relieved.

Xin Bowen's circle of friends is still full of innocuous things like airplane models, Gundams, pots of flowers and plants.The most recent one was posted in December, with a picture of a white-haired Chinese pastoral cat, and it said: "You are such a willful girl."

In order for Lilith to study in Polimoda next year, Tong Yan was invited to give a lecture on art and love.She is not good at eloquence, so she worked hard to prepare for it for a week.

The schedule was on Monday, and there were unexpectedly many students who came to listen to the speech.Someone even came up to her and asked her for an autograph, so Tong Yan thought of a way to calm down both the students and her. Before the opening, they were allowed to ask questions for 10 minutes, regardless of the topic.

"Natsume Soseki once said in "Cats" that if human beings want to enter the mysterious realm, there are only two roads. These two roads are art and love. In my opinion, its essence is a kind of... Art is Concrete love, love is the art of flow. I am honored to explain the only eternal topic in my life here. My name is cecilia.Tung. If you haven’t heard of me, you can get to know me a little bit here .”

A student asked: "Others say you are a century-old star, do you think so? Will a star ever die?"

"It may not be appropriate to say that it is a star, it should be one of the shining points. A star may fall due to the changes of the times, but it is not because of me."

"Do you think you can represent an era?"

"I can embody an era." Tong Yan smiled.

"Do you think love has any influence on your artistic creation? You just said that love is concrete art, so does that mean that all your creations are related to your love?"

"Love is the only source of my creation. Pain and joy. I personally think that creation is separated from love and cannot be regarded as creation. It can be called production. Because creation has an element of love."

"According to your understanding, I mean, 'Love is the only source of art,' can you explain, why the work I made with love was rejected by the teacher?"

The crowd laughed.

Tong Yan pursed his lips and said, "I guess it has something to do with the coincidence of public cognition. In fact, desire and desire are similar, and the acceptance of the form of expression is limited by each person's social background. If you can overcome these obstacles, there is a Chinese saying It's called 'appreciation of both refined and popular tastes', which means that it is recognized and appreciated by the majority of people regardless of class."

"You don't deny that people have the heart of conformity. Rather than conforming to the crowd, it is better to say conformity to the few. In fact, higher education, wealth, etc. are in the hands of a few people. Good things are not really digested, and people are just People say what they say."

"I call this kind of prosperity in front of me a 'bubble'. Under the influence of the bubble, everything can't be taken too seriously. History will give you the real answer."

"The first unreleased fragrance you created was called 'Lost L' right?"

Tong Yan was a little surprised, "You are really my big fan."

The student nodded and said with a smile: "My major is 'perfume'. So, is L love? Or 情丨yù (lust)?"

A distant ding-dong sound rang in my ears, and Mi lightly held the wind chime and stood on the shore, "Sister Tong, will you come to Wagang to see me?"

……

Tong Yan said: "They... are sisters who live together."

……

After the speech was over, Tong Yan sat at the table and packed up the materials. A figure approached beside him. Tong Yan didn't raise his head and asked, "Are there any questions?"

It was an old Asian man in his sixties, with silver hair and beard, and very plain clothes.Tong Yan stood up, hesitated for a moment, and called out, "Pray for Uncle?"

Qi Weiye said: "Long time no see, Miss Tong."

Tong Yan and Qi Weiye came to a nearby small cafe, and Qi Weiye roughly asked about Tong Yan's current situation, but did not mention Qi Zhongbei and her.

Tong Yan asked Qi Weiye why he was in Polimoda, and Qi Weiye said that he had an appointment with a mentor who was engaged in art finance here.Roughly art mortgage loan, crowdfunding financing, asset management, art wealth management, art bank, etc.

Tong Yan had heard of art mortgages in his early years, and it was not a new practice in the developed countries of the European Union.It’s just that I don’t know much about this kind of investment, so I asked casually: “Finance management of art? It’s also similar to personal finance, and the carrier becomes art?”

Qi Weiye said: "Simply speaking, art is bought at low prices and sold at high prices, mainly for individuals and institutions with relatively high annual after-tax income. Individuals refer to high-net-worth individuals, that is, groups with investable assets exceeding US$100 million. Institutions are Institutions with net assets of hundreds of millions of yuan and willing to assume social and cultural responsibilities. Generally speaking, the price of a successful artist’s work has three stages: original value, commercial value, and bubble value. Buying at the original value stage, the bubble value stage Sell ​​it and get high returns."

Tong Yan said: "That is to say, the more works of artists you have, the greater the value-added income from the primitive stage to the bubble stage. And each era will have a group of such artists, providing them with sources."

Qi Weiye smiled and said, "Exactly."

Tong Yan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Qi Weiye said: "Is Miss Tong interested?"

Tong Yan held the coffee and shook his head, "I don't know anything about this kind of thing."

"As far as I know, Ms. Tong's mother, Katori Mizugami, is a famous contemporary painter. In addition to donating and selling a batch, there is also a private museum, and the value of the paintings in it may exceed this amount." He raised his head two fingers.

Tong Yan has no intention of selling these paintings.One is a memorial left by her mother, and the other contains a group of rare painters' works, all of which were privately collected by her mother during her lifetime. She does not want to be known and coveted by others, and cause trouble for herself.

Laughing, he said, "Does Uncle Qi believe these words? My mother left a few works, and my daughter's works are only kept as souvenirs. It's not that exaggerated."

Qi Weiye said: "Miss Tong, don't be nervous. I don't mean to ask you to sell these paintings. Instead, cooperate with me and use the fame of these paintings to make money from other places. For example, the perfume bottles made by Miss Tong are very characteristic of the times. It's a work of art."

Tong Yan took a sip of his coffee, and roughly guessed who the mentor Qi Weiye was cooperating with, and why he was invited to give a lecture.He said with a smile: "In this regard, I do know some masterpieces, which are extremely valuable for collection. Moreover, I think the time to realize this investment should be faster, and the follow-up potential is also great."

Qi Weiye said: "If this is the case, there is nothing better. I am very interested in hiring Ms. Tong as my art consultant to supervise this matter. You don't need to participate, but I will still pay you what you deserve. Until you are willing to be my partner."

Tong Yan said with a smile: "Uncle Qi's Weiye Group is already so successful, why would he care about these insignificant profits?"

"Interest. I like interest combined with money."

Tong Yan was worried that Qi Weiye would be a lobbyist for Qi Zhongbei, but Qi Weiye never said a word, so he bid farewell to Tong Yan.

Tong Yan strolled on the street, thinking about the investment philosophy that Qi Weiye said, thinking about the value of some investment.In the perfume industry, she is sure to be more precise.From the 19th century to the 20th century, there were no less than a thousand bottles collected by himself alone.These beautiful bottles and cans cannot be passed down for a hundred years like Coca-Cola bottles, but it is precisely because of this that they reflect their preciousness, which can be described as a masterpiece of a century.Moreover, it is not necessarily the one with the highest price speculated, but often some of the most valuable collections that are not discovered by others.

A whistle sounded behind him, and Tong Yan turned around. A man wearing sunglasses was sitting in the Porsche 911 waving at her.

Tong Yan said, "Mr. Xin, are you so low-key this time?"

"You don't like that car, I'll change it to a more affordable one." Xin Bowen curled his lips and raised a pair of dark eyebrows under the sunglasses.

Tong Yan thought, did Xin Bowen misunderstand that she is really the kind of person who chooses friends based on money?He laughed and said, "Your wealth scares me. I don't dare to climb high."

The car came to Tong Yan's side, "Get in the car."

Tong Yan said, "I drove the car myself, thank you."

Xin Bowen took out his mobile phone, "Hey, Miss Xu, are you there? I have something to tell you..."

Tong Yan stood in the middle of the street.Xin Bowen's car was also parked in the middle of the street.Behind them was a line of impatient local drivers.

Tong Yan got into the car.Xin Bowen took out his mobile phone, smiled and clicked on the voice and said, "It's nothing, I suddenly thought of you. Driving, let's chat instead."

Tong Yan said: "If you want to threaten me with Xu Ru, I advise you not to think about it. It won't last long if you make do with it."

Xin Bowen asked himself: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Tong Yan said, "You can eat anything. I don't want to eat with you."

Xin Bowen said: "When did I start to be so annoying to you? Is it because I am honest?"

Tong Yan leaned on the window with his arms on his pillow and looked out.Xin Bowen leaned forward and said, "Or, did I remind you that I am a woman?"

Tong Yan laughed and said, "Mr. Xin, you are really interesting. I like women, but I never deny that I am a woman. I have no intention of entering the world of men."

Xin Bowen no, no, no denied: "Only under a man, you are a real woman."

Tong Yan's face fell, "Mr. Xin, I hope you pay attention to your wording, otherwise my lawyer will sue you for sexual harassment."

Xin Bowen smiled: "I said it. It was my fault for telling the truth. You like to listen to Guan Guan's words, and I apologize."

When the car drove into the villa, it was already night and the moon was hanging high.

Xin Bowen got out of the car and opened the door for Tong Yan, "Please."

Tong Yan grabbed the bag and got out of the car.The villa is huge, retro-style, single-story, and the empty garden is sporadically planted with Renaissance Mediterranean cypress and bay leaf pods, which lost their original appearance under the illumination of the garden lights.

Tong Yan was sitting by the glass window under the milky white curtains, playing with his mobile phone, while Xin Bowen was busy cooking.

Mi Qing on the other end is talking nasty love words to Tong Yan, teasing Tong Yan to send her sexy photos.

Tong Yan said no, and Miqing sent a short video.Tong Yan wore earphones and watched with his mouth closed.

It's a small video of Mi Qing doing a striptease in the bathroom.

Xin Bowen approached to place the dishes, Tong Yan hurriedly turned off the video, and replied: "Kill you little fairy."

Xin Bowen cooks Japanese food, eel, rice, miso soup, and pickles are placed in the small plate.

"I'm running out of time, I'm afraid you'll be hungry."

Tong Yan sipped his tea and said it was okay, secretly took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and glanced at a video sent by Miqing.After a few words of "Sister Tong" alluringly, there was a voice that made people blush and heartbeat.Tong Yan covered the screen, took a sip of tea and blushed.

Xin Bowen handed the napkin to Tong Yan, sat opposite her and said, "Taste my craft."

Tong Yan looked at the brown-yellow powder in the soup, and asked, "Is it perilla? Put it in the soup now?"

Xin Bowen squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's for dampness. Try it."

He took two bites with his chopsticks, sipped the red wine and looked at Tong Yan opposite.

Tong Yan said, "How can I go back after you've had a drink?" Then he said, "All right, lend me the car, and I'll go back by myself."

"Go back in such a hurry? Is it because of the people on the phone?"

Tong Yan didn't answer, but buried his head in his meal.

Xin Bowen said, "Tong Yan, you are really innocent. If I put something in my cooking, wouldn't you be very dangerous?"

Tong Yan stopped his chopsticks, "Xin Bowen, is it worthwhile for you to be raped in order to get a woman? Or, unless you want me to die? Kill me to silence you?"

Xin Bowen drank with a smile, "I can't tell."

Tong Yan stood up, "OK, then I won't eat. I'll go back first, thank you for your hospitality."

Xin Bowen said with a smile: "Miss Tong, I was wrong. You sit down. I have something to show you."

Tong Yan sat down, and Xin Bowen took out a sealed bag from the house.

"I won't say anything, you can see for yourself."

Tong Yan put down his chopsticks and opened the file.Inside is a photo of a man wearing sunglasses with a square face.There is a scar around the corner of the eye.Tong Yan glanced at Xin Bowen, then continued to turn backwards.The second one is a framed photo of Qi Zhongbei and a man in sunglasses; the one behind it is a blurry silhouette of a man in a car, half of the same style of sunglasses is covered by a peaked cap, and his license plate number can be seen clearly.The last one is a screenshot of the video of Lilith being knocked down.The license plate numbers are exactly the same.

Tong Yan put down the materials and asked, "Xin Bowen, why did you investigate Qi Zhongbei?"

Applause to the man in the seat, "Good! I said you are different from ordinary women. The truth is
