Luo Yanning was also a little surprised when she heard what Xu Maocheng relayed.
The system-level painting technology is very good, but...
Someone was willing to pay 600,000 yuan for one of his paintings, which was beyond his expectation.
First of all, he is broke in the art world and has no fame bonus.
Secondly, he is not a famous person, he is just an ordinary person, and he has no fame bonus.
All in all, the objective value of his painting is actually very limited.
The person who is willing to pay a high price of 600,000 yuan to buy this painting probably has something wrong with his head, just like Gao Min said...
Could it be that I have met the legendary master who is stupid and rich?
Jingle bells, jingle bells!
As soon as Gao Min finished speaking, there was a burst of cell phone ringtones in the room.
Xu Maocheng took out his mobile phone and glanced at the name on the caller ID, and said with a smile:
"Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here, right? The old man who offered me 600,000 yuan called me. Do you want to pick it up?"
Xu Maocheng looked at Luo Yanning and asked for his opinion. He painted the painting, and it was up to him to decide whether to sell it or not.
Luo Yanning said with a calm expression: "Take it, don't hang on to others like this. Whether you sell or not, we will give you the right answer."
"Okay, I'll take the call. Come and talk to the old man."
As Xu Maocheng spoke, he answered the call with a swipe of his finger and handed the phone to Luo Yinning.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Xu. Could you please ask if the owner of that painting is back?"
After Luo Yanning took the phone from Xu Maocheng, she heard a very deep male voice on the other end of the phone.
The man's voice gave Luo Yanning a somewhat familiar feeling, as if he had heard this man speak somewhere.
"Hello, sir, I am Luo Yanning, the owner of the Great Wall painting. I heard from Uncle Xu that you are interested in buying my painting?"
Luo Yanning did not make any detours with the other party, and went straight to the point.
"Oh? Are you the owner of that Great Wall painting? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you! I, Shang Yunqing, haven't you asked me your name?"
"Shang...Shang Yunqing?"
Luo Yanning was stunned when she heard the other party announcing her home, and blurted out:
"Are you, Grandpa Shang?"
After Luo Yanning heard the place announcing her home, she suddenly remembered why the other person's voice sounded so familiar!
Shang Yunqing and Mr. Luo are close friends who have been in love for many years.
When Mr. Luo was alive, Shang Yunqing would go to the scenic spot every Mid-Autumn Festival to talk to the old man about the past.
After the old man left, Shang Yunqing always felt sad about the scene, and he never went there again.
Speaking of which, the last time Luo Yanning and Shang Yunqing met was at the old man's funeral. It had been more than a year ago.
"So it's that guy..." After Gao Min heard what Luo Yanning called the old man on the other end of the phone, he suddenly understood.
Before Gao Min divorced Luo Yinning's father, he would be called to the scenic spot for a reunion dinner every Mid-Autumn Festival.
She also had a deep impression on Mr. Shang.
Shang Yunqing's family has a certain degree of influence in the political arena. He himself has retired from a high position in the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and has rich network resources.
He has been in a high position for a long time and does not feel angry and powerful. The aura of a superior person always makes people feel very stressed.
"Oh? Do you know me? Your voice, let me think about it..."
After Shang Yunqing heard Luo Yanning calling him "Grandpa Shang", he suddenly realized:
"Are you...are you Lao Luo's grandson? Are you Yan Ning?"
Luo Yanning smiled and said: "Yes, Grandpa Shang, it's me! I really didn't expect that I would talk to you again in such a way. It's so surprising."
"Hahaha~ Yes, what a coincidence. Come to think of it, it seems like we haven't seen each other for more than a year, right?"
By chance, Shang Yunqing got in touch with his old friend by chance, and his mood suddenly became very good, and he asked with a smile:
"Yanning, are you okay now? I left you a message at the beginning, asking you to come to the capital to find me if you were in trouble, but you never came."
Luo Yanning smiled and said half-seriously: "Thank you, Grandpa Shang, for your concern. Everything is fine with me, and everything is going well with the scenic area.
This morning I was thinking that I must pay you a visit before leaving Beijing, but I didn’t expect to get in touch with you tonight. It seems that we have a close relationship."
Shang Yunqing smiled and said: "Okay, okay, do you still have the address that Grandpa Shang gave you? It's still the same place. Come over and talk in advance when you want. I'll ask Grandma Hong to prepare a table of good food for you."
Luo Yanning nodded and said: "Okay, there are a lot of things going on these two days. After these two days, I will bother Grandpa Shang and Grandma Hong no matter what."
"..."
The two reminisced about old times and chatted for a while, and finally Shang Yunqing got back to the topic: "By the way, Yan Ning, did you paint that Great Wall painting?
Grandpa Shang’s eyes are getting worse and worse. I looked at those videos online and I didn’t recognize you."
Luo Yanning smiled and explained: "It's normal for you not to recognize me. When I went out, I put on a little disguise. Not to mention you, my mother wouldn't even recognize me."
"Oh, I see, I almost forgot, you are now a celebrity and need to dress up when going out."
Shang Yunqing smiled and said: "I saw that you made headlines yesterday. Your grandfather gave you this name, which is probably rare in the country. As soon as I saw this name, I guessed that it was you, and sure enough."
Luo Yanning smiled awkwardly and said, "Ahem, let's not talk about that. It's just a small misunderstanding."
Shang Yunqing continued: "Yanning, you have completely impressed Grandpa Shang today. I didn't expect you to have such high attainments in painting. You have hidden it too deeply."
"Ahem, is there any? I'm used to being low-key and don't like to be too public." Luo Yanning said perfunctorily with a smile.
Shang Yunqing smiled and said: "Oh? Really? Don't you like publicity? I saw that when you educated that Korean man today, you were not low-key at all, you were very domineering."
Luo Jinning said: "In the face of the country's honor and disgrace, I naturally cannot bear it. Who said that Korean people deserve to be beaten for their words?"
"Okay, okay, great. Grandpa is very happy that you have such thoughts. If young people in our country have such an awareness as you, why not worry about revitalizing it again."
Shang Yunqing paused and continued: "Yanning, with your grandfather's relationship, Grandpa Shang won't make any detours with you.
Mr. Xu should have already told you that I have had an indissoluble bond with the Great Wall since I was a child.
The first time I saw the Great Wall you painted, I fell in love with the artistic conception.
What about the price? It’s still the price I told him before. Are you willing to part with it?
Of course, you are free to sell it or not. Even if you don't sell it to grandpa, our relationship will not be affected at all.
Although grandpa likes that painting, he won’t take it away from others by force.”
Luo Yanning smiled heartily and said: "Grandpa Shang, what are you talking about? What else are you telling me about whether to buy it or not? It's just a painting. I'll give it to you!"
"Don't, don't, don't, it's one code, one code. The relationship between us is one thing, but buying paintings is another. Grandpa can't take advantage of you."
Shang Yunqing is not short of money, and he is not the kind of person who likes petty gains. Naturally, he will not prostitute Luo Yanning's paintings for free.
"Grandpa Shang, you are really too out of touch with me, and you are too flattering to me."
Luo Yanning smiled helplessly and patiently explained: "Besides, that painting is not a precious thing to me.
I didn’t put in much effort, but if I was willing, with the same level and the same painting, I could draw ten or eight of his paintings in a day.”
"..."
The two pushed back and forth, one insisted on giving her away for free, the other insisted on not giving her away for free, and they were at loggerheads.
In the end, the two of them each took a step back and closed the deal at the "acquaintance price" of 200,000.
Luo Yanning finally said: "Grandpa Shang, it's getting late today, let's do it tomorrow.
I will personally deliver the goods to your door around 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Shang Yunqing smiled and said: "Okay, okay, grandma Hong and I will sweep up the couch to welcome you. We will have two more drinks with grandpa at noon, so that we can have a good time catching up on old times."
Luo Yanning said: "Okay, let's go to your place. I don't treat myself as an outsider. I won't go home if I can't drink well."
"This is so cool. It has the style of your grandfather back then."
Shang Yunqing couldn't help feeling a little emotional when he thought of his deceased friends.
After reminiscing about old times and talking about serious matters, the two chatted on the phone for a few more words before ending the call.
"Master Luo, go wash your hands quickly and get ready for dinner!"
Seeing Luo Yanning hang up the phone, Li Ruijia waved to him and said hello.
Luo Yanning and Shang Yunqing had been on the phone for nearly an hour.
During this period, Gao Min and Li Ruijia had already prepared dinner.
Today’s dinner is a winter melon ball soup that is relatively healthy and relieves fatigue. It is also one of Gao Min’s best dishes.
Although it is not as good as the dumplings made by Luo Yanning, it still has a different flavor.
"Here we come." Luo Yanning responded with a smile, stepped forward and returned Xu Maocheng's cell phone to him before going to the bathroom to wash his hands.
After washing his hands, Luo Yanning sat next to Li Ruijia. A small porcelain bowl was already placed in front of him.
The porcelain bowl was full of meatballs and winter melon, with only a little bit of soup visible.
Gao Min smiled and joked: "Look, your Jiajia loves you so much. All the meatballs in the pot are scooped into your bowl."
"No way..." Li Ruijia blushed and felt a little embarrassed to be told by Gao Min.
Compared to Li Ruijia, Luo Yanning was much thicker-skinned. She joked with Lao Gao and said:
"Lao Gao, I see there are a lot of meatballs in Uncle Xu's bowl. I guess it must be someone who loves him who cares about him, right?"
Gao Min said matter-of-factly: "Your Uncle Xu is still a patient, so you should eat more to supplement your nutrition."
Several people were chatting and laughing, and the dining atmosphere was very pleasant.
Although the meatball soup made by Gao Min doesn't look as good as the ones made by five-star chefs in big hotels, it does taste good.
Several people climbed the Great Wall for a long time, which consumed a lot of physical energy. In the evening, everyone had a big appetite. In the end, there was no soup left in a large pot of meatball soup, and they were all eaten and drank.
After eating and drinking, Gao Min, Xu Kejing and Li Ruijia went to the kitchen to wash up.
Luo Yanning and Xu Maocheng took the opportunity to sneak into the small courtyard to smoke.
In the smoke, looking at the curling green smoke, Luo Yanning was thinking about another question.
Previously, because of Wu Mingshi's incident, Zhang Qian and her family decided to move to the capital. As Zhang Qian's good friend, Luo Yanning naturally gave her full support.
He bought a house and a car, trying his best to create a comfortable and livable environment for the family.
Gao Min and Xu Maocheng also planned to stay in the capital because Xu Kejing wanted to study in the capital, so that they could take care of them.
Luo Yanning also strongly supported the two of them to stay in the capital, and specially vacated the house in the Walden Villa area to Lao Gao and Lao Xu, and also equipped the two with the cars they needed for travel.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes, and there was no problem with all of this before today.
Or, to be precise, it should have been no problem until Luo Yanning drew the special skill [Zhong Ling Yuxiu].
Now, after drawing the skill [Zhong Ling Yuxiu], a problem arises!
[Zhong Ling Yuxiu] The range of influence of this skill is limited to the surrounding area of Heilong Mountain Scenic Area. It will have no effect outside this range.
According to the system description, after turning on the [Zhong Ling Yuxiu] special effect, the aura concentration around the Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Area will increase by 100%, and it can be absorbed by the human body.
After the human body absorbs the aura of the scenic spot, it can not only strengthen the body, but also prolong life.
With such a good "gain buff", Luo Yanning naturally didn't want her mother and Lao Xu to miss it.
[Chung Ling Yuxiu] plus [Fountain of Life], with the blessing of these two powerful special effects.
Isn’t it easy for people living around scenic spots to live to be 180 years old?
"Now, what should I tell Lao Gao and Lao Xu?"
Luo Yanning was smoking a cigarette while thinking about countermeasures in her mind.
When something good happens, he naturally thinks about the people closest to him.
But, this can't be said clearly.
The two of them have just been settled here in the capital, with a house and a car, and suddenly they are asked to follow him back to the scenic spot?
Wouldn't it be childish to go back on one's word like this?
"What's wrong, Yan Ning? I think you seem to be worried about something. Is it because of the phone call you just had with that old man?"
Seeing Luo Yanning's frown, Xu Maocheng took the initiative to ask with concern.
Luo Yanning smiled and shook his head, denying it and saying: "No, I had a great time chatting with Grandpa Shang at that time, and I was thinking about other things."
Xu Maocheng smiled and said: "Would you mind talking to uncle? Maybe I can give you some enlightening suggestions."
Luo Yanning turned around and looked at Xu Maocheng, really not knowing how to tell him.
Jingle bells, jingle bells!
Just as Luo Yanning was hesitating to speak, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
I took out my phone and took a look. The name on the caller ID was "Director Liang".
Director Liang, also known as Liang Dingxiang.
She is one of the first batch of veteran employees recruited into the scenic spot after Luo Yanning took over as the general manager of the scenic spot.
Under the influence of Luo Yanning's charisma and extremely high salary, these employees are most devoted to him.
Why is Director Liang calling me at this time?
"Uncle Xu, let me answer the phone first."
Luo Yanning said something to Xu Maocheng, connected the phone with a swipe of her finger, and said hello to Liang Dingxiang with a smile.
