Translator: 549690339

Qin Fang thought to himself, ‘Is Huo Jingxiu crazy? When Homme Fatale Wen chased after him in the past, he acted all high and mighty and kept her in suspense. Now that Homme Fatale Wen is ignoring him, he’s acting like he’s drooling!’

Qin Fang thought, ‘F * ck, he actually went to curry favor with Homme Wen’s father and gave her a set of Four Treasures of the Study.’

Qin Fang quickly recorded a video and sent it to Huo Hannian.

The Four Treasures of the Study that Huo Jingxiu had given him were all exquisite. The brush was a brush with a flower and bird pattern carved on bamboo from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was worth hundreds of thousands. The ancient inkstone and ink were both expensive. A set of them was worth millions. It was very valuable.

Wen Jinzhang was a well-known scholar in Yun Cheng. Apart from studying medicine, he also liked calligraphy and painting.

Huo Jingxiu had put in a lot of effort and thought into the gift.

Many guests gathered around and praised Huo Jingxiu’s gift.

“Young Master Huo is very thoughtful. This set of Four Treasures of the Study is probably the most thoughtful gift that Director Wen has received today.”

“I heard that Young Master Huo and Director Wynn’s daughter are in the same school. The two children look like a perfect match!”

“Young Master Huo’s academic performance is outstanding, and he has won so many awards in various talent competitions. Director Wen, you must not miss out on such an excellent candidate for son-in-law!”

Wen Jinzhang furrowed his brows imperceptibly. There was a faint smile on his gentle and elegant face.” My Ruan Ruan is still young. She’s focused on her studies. Besides, children nowadays have their own feelings. As a father, I can only be a reference.”

Wen Jinzhang glanced at Wen Ruan, who was standing beside Old Mrs. Wen. When the guests praised Huo Jingxiu, she rolled her eyes secretly. In short, her expression was hard to describe in words. It was not like the rumors said she liked Huo Jingxiu very much.

Huo Jingxiu did not see Wen Ruan’s expression, but Wen Jinzhang must have had a good impression of him. After all, he was the only one who had given him such an expensive and well-liked gift today!

Just as Huo Jingxiu was secretly pleased with himself and thought that he had left a deep impression on Wen Ruan’s father, the manager of Yunyue Hotel came over with two staff members in work clothes and white gloves.

“Hello, Director Wen. I was entrusted by someone to bring you a birthday present.”

The manager nodded to the staff behind him, and the staff slowly opened a colorful painting.

The guests who were praising Huo Jingxiu’s Four Treasures of the Study were dumbfounded when they saw the scroll.

“Isn’t this one of the masterpieces of the most famous painter of the 20th century, Old Wu,’Bamboo Grove Gard’?”

As long as one was interested in calligraphy and painting, there was no one who didn’t know Old Wu. He was the most famous painter in modern China. His color and ink paintings were unique. In the domestic and international auctions, his paintings were sold at sky-high prices. He was a leading figure in the art world.

One of his works had been auctioned for 150 million, breaking the record for Chinese painting in one fell swoop. It was the Bamboo Forest Garden that the manager had sent over. It had been auctioned off for 50 million some time ago.

Compared to Huo Jingxiu’s million-dollar Four Treasures of the Study, the appearance of this painting was simply shocking.

“Director Wen, Old Wu’s painting is not something that can be bought with money. The person who gave this gift is really too thoughtful!”

“There’s always someone better than you. Today’s Dean Wen’s birthday banquet has really opened our eyes!”

Wen Jinzhang looked at the painting of Bamboo Forest Garden, his heart filled with shock.

Some time ago, he had been to the auction house. At that time, the bamboo forest garden had been decided internally and was bought by someone else. He had even regretted it for a period of time.

He did not expect that someone would actually give it to him today.

Wen Jinzhang looked at the hotel manager and asked with a slight frown,” Manager He, may I know who sent this painting?”
