It is completely impossible for Ning Weimin to acquire 9,000 pieces of calligraphy and painting by modern masters with only a hundred thousand foreign exchange coupons.
If Huo Xin hadn't put his boyfriend's name tag on him, he would have even taken him directly to Director Liu's house to argue for him.
How could he seize the opportunity and buy most of the treasures in time before the Hong Kong businessman who had already paid part of the deposit?
Besides, Director Liu wouldn't have been able to help so much if he hadn't been acquainted with the Huo family and for the sake of Huo Xin's parents.
Especially those calligraphy and paintings, the value is so great! And the price of this transaction itself is extremely unreasonable.
If those things were not originally accumulated by the painters themselves as gifts over the years, they would be purely free items for the exhibitor.
If it weren't for the economic problems caused by historical reasons, and the exhibitors were eager to cash in to make up for the shortfall in reception fees, how could they have sold it so cheaply at that time?
If someone had sent these calligraphy and paintings to Rong Baozhai at that time, even based on the lowest purchase price, it would have been at least three to four million.
Today, when the average price of modern calligraphy and painting on the market has increased nearly ten times, the value of this batch of calligraphy and painting has reached an astonishing figure, at least worth thirty or forty million.
This is based on domestic market conditions.
This is not poaching a socialist corner. What is poaching a socialist corner?
So after all, even if he has legal procedures, we can compare it with the price of his acquisition.
Considering that he also used some unfair methods at the beginning.
As long as others don't find fault with him on this matter.
If someone insists on making a fuss over the ownership of these calligraphy and paintings, there will be disputes.
There is no way to win the lawsuit, and he is probably untenable in terms of ethics and law.
And facing such a blow would be unbearable for him, and it could be called fatal.
What does it mean to be struck by lightning?
Ning Weimin felt this way now.
Director Huo's questioning not only made him speechless, but also made him feel numb and sweating profusely.
He knew full well that this was Director Huo's method and a deliberate trap for him.
He is indeed a veteran in diplomacy. He is so beautiful at this skill!
The appearance of being reasonable and respecting objective facts just now turned out to be a disguise to divert his attention.
After he deliberately searched for favorable words and expressed his normal relationship with Huo Xin, he was still complacent.
In fact, I don't know that people have already targeted his vital points, waiting for him to be unprepared and surprise him at the moment when he relaxes.
This is great. As long as he can't explain this problem, then everything he just said will not be credible.
He will immediately turn into a hypocritical villain in the eyes of the other party who can only use sweet words.
For a moment, he was so anxious that he really didn't know how to distinguish or explain it.
However, Director Huo saw him bowing his head and being speechless, so he did not let him go.
The words are like a whip, and they are slapped hard without mercy, sentence by sentence.
"In order to help you, Huo Xin once told Director Liu that you were his target, right? Why didn't you explain clearly at that time? Since there was no objection and you accepted such help, then according to ordinary people
To some extent, is your understanding considered a fait accompli? Why do you avoid talking about this?"
"Don't tell me that this was your negligence. In fact, you and Huo Xin have had this misunderstanding since you first met Director Liu. You took advantage of this misunderstanding to purchase a batch of calligraphy and paintings for the first time, and
Without clarification, I am willing to believe that you are negligent. Then you continue to rob me, and I can still relax your standards and admit that you are negligent. But you have always taken advantage of this, but you have never had the intention to explain the real situation. Even today
, I asked you face to face, but you didn’t mention this matter. Then only you know what your negligence means.”
"You know? There is a kind of person in this world that I hate the most. That is a person who doesn't mean what he says and does things unscrupulously. Because such people have extremely low conduct. Not to mention lacking morals, they even have basic norms in their bones.
They don’t even have the concept of basic order. When they encounter interests, they just rush forward. As long as they can maximize their interests, this kind of people will think that whatever they do is reasonable.”
"You should be able to understand one thing. As a father, I have to be responsible for my daughter. As a friend of Huo Xin, of course I also have the obligation to distinguish between good and bad for her. So please tell me, if my daughter is around
This kind of person appears and keeps using her. So what should I do? What if this kind of person not only uses her, but also hurts her emotions and makes her very painful. What should I do? What if I use myself
This is a very reasonable way to seek justice for my daughter..."
Damn it, where is the reasoning? He explained all the reasons. Yali Mountain is huge!
Ning Weimin cursed in his heart, but sweat broke out even more.
He even felt that he was about to turn into a condenser tube. On such a cold day, he actually took a clear bath with sweat.
You know, Director Huo's last few words were more than just dissatisfaction and warning.
It's simply mind-blowing, and it almost means that anything can happen to Ning Weimin's life and work in the future.
But there is no chance that anything good will happen.
what to do?
Should you bow your head and admit your mistake immediately and ask others to show your kindness?
Of course not!
Everyone has heard the story of the farmer and the snake, Mr. Dongguo. Who would forgive the snake and the wolf in the story?
Ning Weimin knew very well that Director Huo's accusation was not an ordinary crime.
It was like forcing him to admit that he was a liar with ulterior motives, who had been bullying Huo Xin's ignorance and taking advantage of her.
Although he knew very well that in front of the extremely experienced Director Huo, there were some facts that he could not deny.
But he knew better that it was even more undesirable to bow his head and admit guilt now. It would definitely be a dead end.
Etc., etc……
Master clearly taught me something, so don’t forget it.
When speaking to a debater, rely on the essentials; when speaking to a noble person, rely on the situation!
That's right, at this critical moment, the more superior and pressing the opponent is, the less they can lose confidence in themselves and be submissive.
The correct approach is to clarify your thoughts and make what you say well-founded.
Only by being calm and confident in everything, can you convince people with your reasoning.
Only then can it be possible to change the other party's preconceived notions and resolve the other party's hostility and dislike of oneself.
Yes, yes! You must be calm and collected!
We won’t cause trouble when nothing happens, and don’t be afraid of trouble if something happens.
Avoiding can never really solve the problem. If you want to do great things, you must take responsibility...
"Director Huo, please allow me to explain. The truth is really not what you think. I always act according to my conscience and I never pretend to be confused. I can assure you that I..."
Ning Weimin tried his best to seize the last chance, but Director Huo sneered.
"Conscience? I don't listen to swearing. I only look at what you did. You clearly used Huo Xin but refused to admit it. How can you see your conscience? I have reason to doubt the scale of your conscience. You don't need to explain anymore.
What, your attitude and the relevant facts are already very clear."
As he spoke, Director Huo picked up the documents next to him and wanted to end the conversation with a very impatient tone.
"The only thing you can do now is to accept the consequences of what you have done. Everything has a price, and you have no room to refuse. Well, you can go..."
The implication is that Ning Weimin has been sentenced to death in his heart and is waiting to be punished.
However, Ning Weimin did not leave the car despondently, nor did he look even a little decadent.
It can even be said that he ignored Director Huo's expulsion order at all.
And after he combed his hair with both hands and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
He even curled his lips and said something absolutely outrageous and audacious.
"Director Huo, I will leave. But before leaving, I also have a few questions to ask you. At a critical junction in your life, or in order to achieve certain goals that cannot be lost, have you ever wanted to
Relying on the power of others? When facing major negotiation tasks, have you ever taken any extraordinary measures that should not be disclosed? Can you really always be honest and hide nothing when facing your relatives, friends, superiors, and subordinates?
"
"What do you mean?"
Director Huo suddenly raised his head, his tone was quite unpleasant.
"Are you questioning my character and personal integrity? Just because you can't do this yourself? That's an outrageous statement!"
However, Ning Weimin completely denied it.
"No, no, I didn't mean that. I just think that no one is perfect. No offense, but I really hope that you are also a mortal. Because only in this way, you will not misunderstand my motives.
Maybe they can evaluate me objectively and understand why I did this. I don’t want to be wronged..."
"What did you say? You said I misunderstood your motives? You actually think you have been wronged and you hope I can understand you?"
Director Huo couldn't believe it. After hearing this, he thought that Ning Weimin was just playing a fool, but Weimin remained calm and even nodded.
"Yes, in this world, there are some things that are not important, such as filial piety. Some things are not important, such as observing discipline. I do not deny that it is true that I acted improperly in using Huo Xin.
It makes sense for you to accuse me. To evaluate a person's good and evil, to judge the right or wrong of something, you cannot simply rely on words and deeds. The key point is to look at his motivation. Only motivation can truly determine a person or an event.
the fundamental nature of the matter.”
Not to mention, these words finally made Director Huo look serious again.
He has his own pride, and he also relies on his eloquence to make a living. It cannot be denied that the dialectical relationship between these words has a certain truth.
Therefore, out of professional qualities and habits, he must respect the other party's right to express his views and cannot but give the other party a chance to speak freely.
"Okay, I'll give you another chance to convince me. I hope you can really give me a reason to forgive you."
