People say that a little farewell is better than a newlywed, and Xu Er and Chen Zhibei are naturally examples of it.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when Xu You returned home, and he didn't say that he would come back early, so when Xu You was sent home, he deliberately got off the car early and bought some meals at a nearby restaurant. , I plan to go back and make do with myself.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, Xu Wei felt that something was wrong.

The whole house was quiet, even Dashan and Xiaobai were not at home.

Xu You walked into the house with hands and feet, "Brother Beizi, are you there? Dashan, Xiaobai, are you at home?"

But no one responded to him, even at the end Xu Wei tried to call Yuanyuan twice.

When Xu Wei walked to the dining room, the dim wall lamp in the living room was turned on with a 'pop'. Chen Zhibei was wearing a capable Tang suit, and stood solemnly in the aisle between the dining room and the kitchen.

On the dining table, there are two steaks and two candles in the glass.

So, it's a candlelight dinner?

Xu You thought belatedly, and when he came to his senses, Chen Zhibei had pulled him to the dining table and sat down.

Candlelight dinners, soft music, and dances that require two people to stick together.

When Xu Er woke up from the bed, it was already ten o'clock in the morning of the next day. She woke up a bit late, but she also slept very late yesterday, probably, about 'yesterday' did not sleep, but slept this morning.

Not only did my waist hurt, but my mouth also felt uncomfortable. There was a fishy smell in it, and my stomach hurt too. My whole body felt like I had been crushed.

Xu You lay on the bed, suddenly remembered, where did Yuanyuan go?

Yuanyuan lived happily at her third grandpa's house. She had two uncles who looked exactly the same to play with, and her beautiful and fragrant grandma made delicious food. Oh, grandpa too Grandma coaxed her.

As for the father who has never met a few times, and the father who has a straight face all day long and is annoying at first glance, go wherever you fall in love.

At noon, Xu Wei answered a phone call from Qu Feng, saying that he was asked to go to the company to attend a shareholder meeting. It was said that a company was going to be integrated. Xu Wei didn't understand the specifics. Anyway, he went there anyway. In a daze, Chen Zhibei and Qu Feng still need to deal with specific matters.

In the past, Chen Zhibei's several companies were separated and not together, but now, Chen Zhibei plans to organize the assets in his hands, for example, to merge the medical and biological research institute and two pharmaceutical factories into one Together, a pharmaceutical company is formed; a real estate company merges with two construction teams to become a comprehensive construction company.

Xu Er listened to Chen Zhibei and his team having a meeting, and was dazed. He even heard that there was a charity foundation under his name that was a joint venture with Chen Zhibei. In other words, when did it happen, why didn’t he know? ?

However, Xu Er agreed to do charity and was very supportive, so he listened carefully to the matter of this charity foundation. After that, Xu Er began to wander around the world again.

After the shareholders' meeting was over, Xu You got up quickly, greeted Chen Zhibei, and left. Meetings are a kind of torture for Xu You, and Xu You didn't want to stay for a minute longer.

After pressing the elevator, Xu You waited for a while and the elevator came up. As soon as he opened the door, he saw an acquaintance.

"Senior Qi?" Gao Xuyou was in the same class, but both are graduate students of Shanghai Metropolitan University. The two met at the party. The other party is a famous figure on campus.

"You are Xu Wei from the Language Institute, right? I remember you are two years younger than me, and you haven't graduated in a few years, right?"

Qi Lianhai froze for a moment, then immediately remembered the identity of the person in front of him.

"Yes, I'm graduating next year and I'm going to study for a Ph.D."

For studying, it is actually dispensable, but Mr. Guo is very persistent, so Xu Wei also plans to continue working hard.

"I heard that the senior has already started his own business after graduation. He started his own company and is also in this building?"

Xu You remembered someone gossip about Qi Lianhai in his ear, but fortunately he has a good memory, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

"Yes, my company is on the ninth floor. I was supposed to go downstairs, but it turned out to be up."

Qi Lianhai cast a vague glance at Xu Wei. He remembered that the other party was in the elevator on the 22nd floor just now. The seventeenth floor and above, the entire five floors belonged to a very powerful real estate company.

"Are you here to earn extra money?" Qi Lianhai thought that the other party was here as an interpreter, so he asked, "I heard that the real estate company is very powerful, and they have done several big projects in Shanghai."

"That's right, my friend asked me to come."

Xu You vaguely explained that normally, he would not take the initiative to get involved with Chen Zhibei's company.

The daughter-in-law's company belongs to the daughter-in-law, and she has not contributed much, so there is really no reason to intervene.

"By the way, junior, I heard that you have some research on antiques. A few days ago, a person I met at the wine shop introduced me to a painting. I don't understand it. If you have time, can you help me?" Look, I paid the appraisal fee."

Qi Lianhai seemed to suddenly think of something, and then invited Xu Wei.

Xu Wei thought for a while, she probably had nothing to do recently, so she nodded, "Okay, I'll give you the phone number, when you go to see the painting, just give me a call."

With that said, Xu You took out a business card and handed it to the other party.At this time, the elevator happened to reach the first floor, so the two parted ways logically.

After that, Xu You started to go to Mr. Guo's place for two days in a row, helping to check the information, sorting out the documents, serving tea and water, and rubbing his shoulders and back.

Xu Wei's previous itinerary, in the eyes of Mr. Guo, was very unprofessional and very angry. The most important thing is that after Xu Wei's article was published, several scholars who also studied Tocharian wanted to chat with Xu Wei. Chatting, exchanging and exchanging, the result was that no one could be found, and Mr. Guo was so angry that he didn't go out to visit the flower, bird and fish market and Dongtai Road for two days.

No, as soon as Xu You came back, he began to show his presence in front of Mr. Guo, hoping to reduce Mr. Guo's anger and coax him back.

But Mr. Guo is an old boy, his temper comes and goes quickly, and he will be fine within two days, and he starts joking with Xu Wei and chatting about antiques.

Just when Xu You was about to forget about Qi Lianhai, Qi Lianhai called and said that it was three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, and they met in the building where they met before, and then went to see paintings together.

Xu Wei naturally nodded in agreement, although the building was a little far away from home, but Xu Wei didn't care about it. Even if you didn't indulge in antiques at the beginning, after a few years, most people would do it. The same thing that does not know the truth or falsehood, even the thing that will cross the ocean.

Xu You doesn't need to cross the ocean yet, but he just takes a car, even if his home is far away, it's no big deal.

Qi Lianhai was stunned when he saw Xu Wei getting out of the car. As a man, a man whose career has improved, Qi Lianhai has a lot of research on cars. Naturally, he can tell at a glance that Xu Wei's car needs a lot of money. It is much more expensive than his own car, or in other words, the price of Xu Er's car is more than five times that of his own car.

A graduate student from the countryside cannot buy such a car by himself before graduation.

"Student, you are here, let's go. The place I mentioned is not far from here. Take my car. It's fine to park your car here. I'll take you back later."

Putting the two cars together, he looked like a follower, which made Qi Lianhai very uncomfortable.

"Okay, I just don't like driving." Xu Wei doesn't like driving, because he can't pay attention to the traffic lights at all times. When driving, he keeps on an electronic device, which is specially used by color-blind drivers. It can remind the driver in advance of the lights ahead. Case.The place Qi Lianhai mentioned was in an old town near the city, where old buildings and alleys were demolished everywhere.

In this way, Xu Er felt very nostalgic. When he first came to Shanghai, he lived in such a place. At that time, Xu Er felt that he lived in the best house in the world.

An old-fashioned story, the old man is a lover of antiques, but his children have no interest in it. After the old man dies, the things left by the old man will naturally be divided up by the children, and then sold according to their ability, holding them with confidence Money, go live your own life.

The two were entertained by a short, fat man in his forties. It was autumn, but he was still wiping off his sweat with a towel. Besides him, there was another strong man of about the same age at home. According to the introduction from the host, this is his A buddy of mine.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm here. Would you like to show me that painting?"

Qi Lianhai carefully sat on the sofa with a rotten smell, wiped his nose in a concealed manner, and said.

"Ala, wait a moment, I'm going to get something now."

The four generations of the chunky man's family are all out-of-the-box Modu people. It is said that the ancestors used to be important government officials in the old days, but now, the four brothers, the best one, is a suburban police station. Long, more or less small right, a little more generous.

What the chunky man took out was a very beautiful landscape painting with two magpies on it, which was very vivid.

Two magpies have been standing on the branches and stones, implying very auspicious happy eyebrows.

The signature is Wang Zuxi. According to Xu Er, there is only one person with this name, and that is a calligrapher and painter in the Qing Dynasty who was good at landscapes, flowers and birds.

At first glance, this painting is Wang Zuxi's mature work. The brush strokes are clean and sharp, and the turning points are subtle and delicate. The two magpies are delicate and vivid, as if they came to life.

Xu You secretly nodded to Qi Lianhai, telling him that this painting is genuine.

"Mr. Zhang, this painting is indeed very good, but I need to consider the price." Qi Lianhai said to the short and fat man.

The short and fat man was originally a little nervous when the two were looking at the painting, but now he heard the other party talking about the price, and quickly said: "Mr. , the price is really not high."

The two of them were back and forth arguing about the price, which had nothing to do with Xu You. Although Xu You was not good at estimating prices, he had to admit that 45 was not too high a price.

What caught Xu Er's attention was a rag bag piled up in the corner. Inside were some ancient coins, some from the Qing Dynasty and some from the Tang and Yuan Dynasties. They were not only messy but also worn out, and most people would not take a second look at them.

But in Xu You's eyes, these things are very colorful and eye-catching.
