Appraiser Ding took the appraisal tool and carefully unpacked the painting.
The size of this painting is 87.95*91.44cm.
While appraiser Ding was inspecting it carefully, everyone was quietly waiting for his results.
After a long period of identification, his assistant and secretary were keeping an eye on the living room. Qian Wen felt relieved and did not stay in the living room with them all the time.
He called Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin, who were whispering aside, to the study room.
Zhong Xiaoyang originally wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by Wei Yongxing and Wang Yun.
"Xiaoqin, how are you doing lately?" Qian Wen asked.
Zhong Xiaoqin knew what Qian Wen meant. She had a miscarriage three months ago and was recently divorced from Chen Yu.
"I just got divorced from Chen Yu two days ago."
Gu Jia knew this a long time ago and held Zhong Xiaoqin's hand as if to comfort her.
Zhong Xiaoqin smiled slightly at Gu Jia and said it was okay.
"Then where do you live now? At your parents' house?" Qian Wenming asked knowingly.
He knew that regardless of telling her parents about the divorce, Zhong Xiaoqin still lived with Chen Yu, but they were separated.
"How dare I tell my parents that I'm divorced? If they knew about it, they wouldn't faint.
I still live with Chen Yu, but I am the master bedroom, and he sleeps with his fish."
"Teacher Chen, you have to suffer a lot. The fish room is so small and stuffy." Gu Jia answered.
"Whatever, doesn't he like fish? Now he gets his wish and sleeps with his fish!" Zhong Xiaoqin said as if she was showing off her temper.
"Then you are both divorced and still living together, don't you feel embarrassed?" Gu Jia asked.
"It's okay, we're not talking now." Zhong Xiaoqin stuck out her tongue.
"If you really don't have a place to stay, just go to Manni's place to stay with her," Qian Wen said.
"Ah, shall I go to your big villa?"
"It's not a villa area. Isn't Manni starting a business now? I bought another property next to her newly opened company so that she can have a place to rest even if she works too late."
Zhong Xiaoqin muttered in a low voice, "Another property! How rich this is!"
Although Zhong Xiaoqin's voice was very low, Qian Wen and Gu Jia could still hear it.
Qian Wen just kept smiling and made no sound.
And Gu Jia hurriedly took Zhong Xiaoqin's hand.
When Zhong Xiaoqin reacted, her face turned red and she hurriedly lowered her head, her earlobes turning red.
"You decide for yourself. Manni has been very tired recently. I also hope someone can accompany her."
When the three of them were chatting casually in the office.
"Dang Dang Dang~" The study door was knocked.
Qian Wen looked outside the door.
"Boss, appraiser Ding has finished the appraisal." Wang Yun said.
"Let's go out and take a look."
Qian Wen took Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin to the living room.
"Mr. Qian, this water lily is genuine and there is no problem." Appraiser Ding said seriously.
Qian Wen looked at the unpacked painting between the four security guards.
He turned to look at Wei Yongxing.
Wei Yongxing nodded, indicating that there was nothing unusual when he was not in the living room just now.
"Okay, since there's no problem, let's hang the painting on the wall."
Qian Wen pointed at the fake water lily painting with seven or eight darts stuck into it.
The security personnel began to carefully remove and hang the paintings.
"Mr. Qian, since there is no problem with the painting, we will deliver this Monet water lily painting worth 280 million to you.
You just need to sign here."
The person in charge of the auction house handed Qian Wen a folder. Qian Wen checked that it was OK and signed for it.
Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia on the side looked at each other, both dumbfounded. This Manni had found some kind of magical male companion.
They bought a painting for 280 million yuan. The two of them looked at the water lily carefully. It was quite artistic, but it was impossible for them to spend 280 million yuan to buy it.
While Qian Wen was signing, Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia were looking at the paintings, security was hanging the paintings, and appraiser Ding on the side was carefully giving instructions.
Zhong Xiaoyang, who felt that he had been ignored, was a little aggrieved. He was not the brightest boy.
"Maybe this painting is also fake~" Zhong Xiaoyang said this without thinking.
Qian, who had just signed a letter with the word "money", stopped the pen in his hand and looked at Zhong Xiaoyang, "Does this person have any advice?"
The person in charge of the auction house on the side also looked over with an unkind expression.
"I don't have any great opinions. I just think that your last painting was fake, and this one might be fake too!" Zhong Xiaoyang said harshly when he saw everyone in the room looking at him.
Gu Jia glanced at Zhong Xiaoqin, meaning that is your weird colleague.
Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Zhong Xiaoqin hurriedly walked to Zhong Xiaoyang, pulled his arm, and whispered, "Stop talking nonsense."
These words were like an ant nest on a giant dam, making Zhong Xiaoyang explode.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just free speech. This painting might be fake." Zhong Xiaoyang raised his head and said arrogantly, as if I just want to say what I want, and what can you do to me.
Qian Wenwen, who was in a good mood, was ruined by this idiot Zhong Xiaoyang. He looked at the person in charge of the auction house.
“Are you just letting people who slander your auction house’s reputation go unchecked and talk nonsense?
If you don't want to take care of it, I will take action myself!" Qian Wen said bluntly.
Before the person in charge of the auction house could speak, Zhong Xiaoyang said again, "If you don't let anyone tell you about the fake paintings, what can you do to me? Are you going to ask our manager to fire me? The worst I can do is quit!"
When he heard Zhong Xiaoyang calling himself "I" in front of him, Qian Wen's face turned cold and he turned to look at Wang Yun.
Wang Yun understood what he meant, retreated to the study, took out his cell phone, and began to give instructions.
"Sir, if you don't give a legitimate reason.
If you wantonly slander the reputation of our auction house, our auction house will notify you with a lawyer's letter for reputation infringement." The person in charge of the auction house said righteously.
When Qian Wen saw the person in charge of the auction house, he wrote a lawyer's letter lightly.
What kind of reputational infringement? Once he signs for this water lily, will the other party still pursue this matter?
Certainly not!
Qian Wen glanced at appraiser Ding and asked, "Is the painting real?"
"It's Mr. Genuine!" Appraiser Ding said hurriedly.
As long as the painting is real, otherwise it will really become a joke.
Qian Wen took the signature document from the person in charge of the auction house and looked at it.
The person in charge of the auction house thought he was going to continue signing and hurriedly handed it to Qian Wen.
Unexpectedly, Qian Wen tore up all the signing documents without even looking at them.
Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.
"Mr. Qian, what are you doing?" the person in charge of the auction house said in disbelief.
"You should take the painting back because I think it is a fake painting!" Qian Wen wrote lightly.
"But just now..." The person in charge of the auction house pointed at Appraiser Ding on the side.
Qian Wen said nothing and raised his hand to see the guest off.
The person in charge of the auction house looked embarrassed. This was a lot worth hundreds of millions, and he had not successfully signed for it.
Then he won't have to work in the industry anymore.
If he goes back to the auction house, he might be fired. The next day he will be famous in the industry, so he doesn't have to think about it.
Anyone who blocks someone's path to wealth is like killing his parents, but someone who blocks someone's future is even worse!
Thinking of this, he looked at the person who had just caused trouble, Zhong Xiaoyang, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Zhong Xiaoyang has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter and is still feeling complacent.
Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but kept talking and kept talking.
Gu Jia noticed that Qian Wen's expression was wrong and quietly pulled Zhong Xiaoqin who was next to Zhong Xiaoyang.
"Gu Gu." Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Gu Jia in confusion.
"Don't talk." Gu Jia whispered.
The person in charge of the auction house came to a security guard and whispered something lowly.
The security guard nodded, took off the full-course recorder on his chest, pointed it at the painting of water lilies, then asked a security guard to look at the painting, and led two people out, leading Zhong Xiaoyang, who was still chattering.
"Hey, hey, what are you going to do? Be careful, I'll call the police!"
Zhong Xiaoyang was led by the back of his neck and led out by three security personnel.
"Gu Gu~" Zhong Xiaoqin whispered when she saw it.
Gu Jia looked at Qian Wen's expressionless face and shook her head, telling her to leave it alone.
Zhong Xiaoqin wanted to run out, but Gu Jia stopped her with all her strength.
"Mr. Qian, one leg, one arm!" said the person in charge of the auction house.
Qian Wen glanced at him and said nothing, but glanced at his assistant.
Immediately after Wei Yongxing, Assistant Wei followed him out.
