Chapter 921 and 922 Charity Reception (Chapter Two in One)
Chapter 921, 922 Charity Reception (two chapters in one)
Sitting in the luxury car, Li Xiaosong lowered his head and looked more reserved.
In his heart, he seemed to recall the words that his grandfather had said to himself back then. At that time, his grandfather always said, I will contact Li Yang in a few days and ask Li Yang to help auction all these treasures. Your life will be different from now on.
No need to worry.
It's a pity that the old man's feelings for the baby made him very reluctant to let go, and he always felt that he could last a few more days.
As a result, the last illness came so quickly that he gave up and returned home without a chance to contact Li Yang. His unfilial daughter kept an eye on him. She showed up at home just after the old man passed away and accepted her openly.
The old man treasures the wealth of his life.
But the grandson who worries the old man the most has become a superfluous person.
Li Yang suddenly turned around. Li Xiaosong's head became lower, and he was still a little flustered. He had been secretly looking at Li Yang from time to time, and now Li Yang noticed him.
The corners of Li Yang's mouth raised slightly, while Wang Jiajia was thinking about writing a report based on this true incident, so that the world would know the shameful true face of Aunt Xiaosong.
Noticing that Li Yang had been looking at him, Li Xiaosong's head became lower and his heart became more panicked.
He was eager to go to school, and he really wanted to go to school. When he was following his grandfather, he swore that he would study hard in the future, get into a good university, and then find a good job, so that his grandfather could enjoy happiness with him in the future.
Hope is beautiful, but reality is cruel. Grandpa could not wait for the day when he would be filial. And after he lost his grandfather as his pillar of support, the sky became extremely dark, as if he had no future.
Until Li Yang appeared, this person whom grandpa often mentioned.
This person was indeed a good person. After hearing what happened to him, he agreed to let him go to school. Because of this, Li Xiaosong followed Li Yang and left without hesitation, not even wanting to say a word to that hateful aunt.
He really wanted to go back to school.
It was also for this reason that he became extremely nervous, fearing that it was all just a dream. Li Yang was just talking sympathetically, not really wanting to help him.
After all, he doesn't have any money now, and the chance of helping someone for no reason is very small. Li Xiaosong, who has a tragic fate, no longer believes that he will have such luck.
The car quickly returned to the hotel and took Li Yang and the others back to their room before Su Youpeng left.
Li Yang and the others booked the largest presidential suite, which has four suites. The master bedroom belongs to Li Yang and Wang Jiajia, and the three of them, Liu Gang, have one room each. There is no room available, but Zhao Kui and Haidong can squeeze in a little to make room.
Came out of a room.
Standing in this luxurious presidential suite, Li Xiaosong's mouth opened wide again. He stood there at a loss and didn't even know which foot to step first. He had never been to such a luxurious place.
Fortunately, Wang Jiajia kept greeting him, took him to sit on the sofa first, and brought him a lot of delicious food.
Li Yang himself went into the bedroom and called the old man. He wanted to report the matter to the old man, and at the same time, he also wanted to tell the old man his thoughts. As long as the old man supported it, he would be 100% sure.
After talking on the phone for more than ten minutes, Li Yang hung up the phone with a smile and a sharp look in his eyes.
Li Yang had mentioned the matter of old man Li Jianyi to the old man a long time ago. This time, he still had an impression of the old man. His attitude toward such an extremely obsessed collector was one of respectability and admiration. He knew a lot about the past and was obsessed with it.
It's not good to be poor or too obsessed that you can't even guarantee your basic life.
Although he does not agree with this kind of collection, such people are worthy of respect. The old man fell silent after hearing that the old man was planning to auction all the treasures to leave his grandson a stable future. A person who is so obsessed can do this.
Not easy.
Finally, after listening to Li Yang's thoughts, the old man only said one sentence: Just do what you want without any worries.
"Liu Gang, let me tell you something!"
After leaving the room, Li Yang glanced at Li Xiaosong, who was still very reserved on the sofa and was being comforted by Wang Jiajia, and waved and called Liu Gang.
Liu Gang followed Li Yang into the room. Li Xiaosong in the living room finally showed a smile. Wang Jiajia assured him that as long as he wanted to, he would be able to go back to school soon.
Li Xiaosong had an inexplicable trust in Wang Jiajia's guarantee. In his heart, he might not believe that such a beautiful fairy would deceive him.
"Liu Gang, I want to know all the information about Aunt Xiaosong, as well as the current whereabouts of those treasures. If they are in Aunt Xiaosong's hands, I want to make sure they are all with her. If not, I also want to know where they are.
Every piece is detailed, even if it’s damaged or broken, I want to know where the pieces are, and as soon as possible, the sooner the better!”
In the bedroom, Li Yang spoke softly to Liu Gang, his expression becoming very serious.
Liu Gang frowned slightly, with a trace of hesitation on his face, and then slowly said: "Brother Li, it is not difficult to find these, but I need to use power that does not belong to us. I don't have the right now!"
Li Yang smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to worry about this. You will have this right soon. You just need to tell me whether you can find these!"
Liu Gang glanced at Li Yang in surprise and said immediately: "If I have the right, I can find out what you want, Brother Li, in two days at the latest!"
Li Yang nodded lightly and said: "Okay, then it will be two days. Within two days, you will be mainly responsible for this matter. I will wait for your good news!"
Two days is nothing to Li Yang, he can definitely afford to wait.
It is not difficult to investigate Aunt Xiaosong's information. Liu Gang can do it, but it is not easy to do it in such detail. If Aunt Xiaosong has sold those treasures, it will be even harder to find out the results.
Liu Gang could investigate it alone, but it would take time, but what Li Yang wanted was speed, and Liu Gang also knew that Li Yang wouldn't be able to stay in Shanghai for long.
In this case, if you want to know the result as soon as possible, you must call on some peripheral energy.
Liu Gang currently has no right to mobilize these energies, and neither does Li Yang, but the people behind Li Yang can, and it is easy.
Liu Gang was just surprised for a moment, but he immediately understood that Li Yang must have taken the initiative to say hello to the old man. With the old man's support, there is really nothing he can't do.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Gang received a call from a comrade in Shanghai. No matter what Liu Gang did, he would cooperate.
This comrade of Liu Gang has a certain amount of energy in Shanghai.
Li Yang came out and chatted with Li Xiaosong for a while. Xiaosong told Li Yang that if he could go back to school, he hoped to go back to Foshan to go to school. Grandpa's graveyard was still there, and he could still go there during the Qingming Festival.
Sweep the grave and see grandpa.
Li Yang was a little surprised by Xiaosong's request, but he understood it very well.
It was the place he was most familiar with, it was his home, and the environment was the most reassuring to him. It was a pity for Li Yang that no one could take care of him there. Foshan had nothing to do with Li Yang.
But in the end, Li Yang agreed to his request. Just because he wanted to visit his grandfather often, Li Yang couldn't refuse. This may be what the old man Li Jianyi hoped for.
At night, Xiaosong slept soundly and sweetly. He had a dream. In the dream, he returned to school again, and his grandfather was still by his side, waiting for him at home every day.
…
The news that the Imperial Seal had arrived in Shanghai had appeared in the newspapers a few days ago.
Su Yang does not have the business acumen of Guangdong Director Hu, but he also has his own advantages. He is not dictatorial or hegemonic. This time, he held several meetings with the main people in charge of the museum to brainstorm ideas.
, and work together to create the most suitable exhibition method.
The Shanghai Museum is located in the downtown area, surrounded by the most famous Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street in Shanghai, where the flow of people is greater.
Early in the morning, there was a sea of people at the entrance of the Shanghai Museum, and many people gathered in the huge square.
Just like in Guangzhou, many people here are students. The students here are slightly different from Guangzhou. Their clothes are uniform, many of them have slogans, and some people wear uniform sun hats with the words "
Picture of the Imperial Seal.
Students are also advancing with the times. With Guangzhou’s experience, many have made reforms and changes.
Among these students, Li Yang has many fans.
Li Yang attended the opening ceremony with Wang Jiajia and Li Xiaosong. Li Xiaosong, who followed Li Yang, always looked a little shy and a little dazed, perhaps because he had never been to an occasion with so many people.
As soon as Li Yang appeared, many young people swarmed over the square, and many of them shouted Li Yang's name.
Those students in Canada were most affected by Li Yang. Some people who passed by the museum and didn't know the details thought it was some big star coming.
Listening to so many people shouting Li Yang's name, Li Xiaosong's eyes were flashing.
In his heart, the image of this strange brother became bigger and bigger, and he began to believe that his grandfather's choice was not wrong. Even if his grandfather was gone, this brother would still help him and change his destiny.
At this moment, his sky was no longer dark, revealing the long-lost sunshine.
The first day of the exhibition at the Shanghai Museum was very successful. It continued its previous popularity. The exhibitions in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai also made more Chinese people begin to understand the jade seal passed down from the country.
There are many people in other places who are looking forward to it, hoping that the Chuanguo Jade Seal will arrive at their place as soon as possible so that they can feast their eyes on it.
The next stop is the Nanjing Museum, and we are even more prepared.
From the beginning in Shanghai, they invited TV stations and major newspapers to conduct follow-up interviews to build momentum. They also placed conspicuous advertisements in many places to let citizens know that the Jade Seal of the Nation will arrive in Nanjing in five days.
At that time, they can also see this Chinese national treasure that has been passed down for two thousand years in the museum.
After presiding over the opening ceremony, Li Yang quietly left.
Su Youpeng became their most considerate tour guide, and Li Yang also took Wang Jiajia and Li Xiaosong to have a good day in Shanghai. Xiaosong, who has been in Shanghai for several months, today is the most relieved day and he has a very happy time.
****
Japan, Imperial Palace.
The emperor was sitting on his knees in a small suite with a gloomy face, still holding the documents he had just received.
This was a diplomatic statement. Under the pressure of the people and the royal family, the Japanese cabinet had formally made a request to the Chinese government in the name of the country to buy back or exchange the Tiancong Yunjian.
It is a pity that the people from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs were obviously ineffective and only issued simple diplomatic rhetoric, but nothing happened after that. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs temporarily rejected the request because the Tiancongyun sword was privately owned, and neither did the people from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
further actions.
"idiot!"
The document was completely thrown aside by the emperor before he had finished reading it. If Tiancong Yunjian returns, the influence of the royal family can be increased a lot. For the cabinet, they do not expect to have a strong royal family, even though the royal family is now
It has lost its majesty.
"Go, call Aoki Ryuichi!"
After taking a few deep breaths, the Emperor waved his hand outside. Immediately, a shadow walked out of the door, and a malicious light flashed in the Emperor's eyes.
…………
"so tired!"
Wang Jiajia quickly walked to the sofa in the living room of the presidential suite and lay down lazily. Today was their third day in Shanghai and the second day of the Jade Seal Exhibition. They had just returned from the amusement park.
Crazy.
Li Yang was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang. After answering the phone, he immediately raised his head and said with a smile: "Xiao Song, I have arranged your home school for you. It is still the school where you originally studied. Wait for me
After I finish my work here, I will send you back to school!"
"real!"
Li Xiaosong froze there for a moment, with tears welling up in his eyes. His character was not like a boy at all, but more like a girl. With his character, it was no wonder that he would end up like this.
"of course it's true!"
Li Yang sighed in his heart, but with a smile on his face. Li Yang asked Zhang Wei from Pingzhou for help with the Xiaosong School matter. He is Chen Wuji's niece and son-in-law. Li Yang will soon become Chen Wuji's apprentice, so it doesn't count.
outsider.
Li Xiaosong was originally a student of that school. Now the re-enrollment procedure is not complicated. He just has to stay in one grade, which has delayed a lot of his studies in the past six months.
"Brother Li Yang, thank you very much!"
There were tears in Li Xiaosong's eyes. He had been having a lot of fun these two days, but he kept thinking about it. For him, going back to school was the most important thing. Now this worry is finally gone.
"If you want to thank me, just study hard and don't let your grandpa down!" Li Yang said softly. When he said this, he thought of the old man who was obsessed with collecting all his life. If he knew what his grandson was going through now, he might be very upset.
of comfort.
"Brother Li, Mr. Su is here!"
Zhao Kui walked to Li Yang and whispered that Liu Gang was not in the hotel at this time. The investigation that Li Yang asked him to investigate has almost been completed and he is on his way back.
Mr. Su is Su Youpeng. He has been accompanying Li Yang for the past two days, which has quickly heated up their relationship and they have now become very good friends.
Li Yang nodded and walked over with a smile.
Su Youpeng was waiting at the door. There was Haidong in front of him, and he was not angry at all for being stopped.
"Li Yang, good news, look what I brought you?"
Seeing Li Yang, Su Youpeng walked inside and waved away a few golden things in his hands. After entering, he was not polite and went directly to make the tea he liked, and in his hands
The things were placed on the table.
"Invitation? Charity reception?"
Li Yang picked up the somewhat golden thing, opened it and looked at it, then frowned. Su Youpeng, who was making tea, said loudly without looking back: "Yes, it is jointly organized by the Shanghai Charity Association and the Business Association.
Raise some money for the children in the mountainous areas to improve their lives!"
After making tea, Su Youpeng walked back to the sofa.
Li Yang put down the invitation and asked casually: "Who are going?"
"Who else can there be, other than those young men and buddies? They are the richest. In fact, this kind of drinking party is just a place for comparison. Do you want to have a drink?"
As Su Youpeng spoke, he handed the tea in his hand to Li Yang. He likes to drink strong tea, and his favorite is strong Tieguanyin. That tea tastes bitter to Li Yang.
Li Yang shook his head and said helplessly: "I still won't go. As you know, I don't like such occasions very much!"
Li Yang really didn't have a good impression of this place where young men gathered. He rarely participated in such activities in Beijing. He didn't expect that someone would give him such an invitation when he came to Shanghai.
Su Youpeng immediately waved his hand and said, "It's okay if you don't go. I asked someone to handle your invitation!"
Li Yang was slightly startled. Su Youpeng did not continue and continued to pour his tea. The thick tea water gave off a special aroma, but the taste was just too strong.
Su Youpeng sniffed it with great enjoyment, and then began to taste his strong tea.
"Brother Li!"
Another shout came from the living room, and Liu Gang, who had gone out, came back with a file bag in his hand. The matter that Li Yang told him was now completely finished.
"Youpeng, please wait a moment!"
Li Yang stood up in a hurry. Originally, he called Su Youpeng his eldest brother. Su Youpeng was two years older than him, but Su Yang heard it on the first day, and both of them were severely punished.
According to seniority, Li Yang is Su Yang's younger brother and a real classmate. No one can deny this relationship. If Li Yang calls Su Youpeng eldest brother, wouldn't it mess up the seniority? In the end, the two have no choice but to call each other by their first names.
Some old-fashioned Su Yang is getting angry.
"You get busy first. I have to leave first. The reception is tomorrow night. I won't be here during the day. I'll pick you up directly in the evening!"
Su Youpeng waved his hand, drank up the tea in front of him, stood up and walked out, leaving those invitations behind. He came here specifically to deliver invitations.
"let's talk tomorrow!"
Li Yang reluctantly sent Su Youpeng out, and then hurried back to listen to Liu Gang's investigation results.
"Brother Li, I'm afraid you really have to go to this cocktail party!"
As soon as Li Yang came back, Liu Gang took the invitation and smiled helplessly at Li Yang. He just saw these invitations, there were six in total, and even Li Xiaosong had one.
"What's going on?" Li Yang asked in surprise.
Liu Gang chuckled and shook his head, saying: "Five of the things Li Wenna sold will be auctioned at this reception. Brother Li wants to take back these treasures, so he really wants to support them!"
Li Wenna is Li Xiaosong's aunt. She is forty years old this year and has a nice name. Unfortunately, she is not as good as her name and has a very vicious heart.
After Li Jianyi's lifelong collection was brought back to Shanghai, she commissioned an auction company to hold a special auction, in which 70% of the treasures were auctioned, with a total of more than 3 million yuan.
The remaining 30% failed to be auctioned, and Li Wenna didn't keep it. She packed it up and sold it to an antique store at a low price of 200,000 yuan. Later, Li Wenna saved all the money, and Li Xiaosong not only didn't get any of it.
They don't even know the news.
After receiving the old man's support, Li Yang made a decision in his heart.
He wants to help Li Jianyi build an exhibition hall. The ownership of the exhibition hall belongs to Li Xiaosong. The things on display are Li Jianyi's life collection. Li Yang will take back these treasures that are sold.
Li Yang had no intention of paying for the money to recover these treasures himself.
Xiaosong's aunt, Li Wenna had to spit out all the money she had. If it was not enough, she would have to repay it. Li Wenna and her husband had two properties in Shanghai, and even buying them twice would be enough.
As for how to get Li Wenna to spit out the money, it was very simple. Li Yang had no intention of getting him to spit out the money in the right way.
Now Liu Gang has great power. It is too easy to punish ordinary people like them. For any reason, they can bankrupt them. What's more, the business that Li Wenna's husband is doing is really dirty.
Li Wenna had no idea at this time how much trouble her greed had brought to them. When she found out, it was too late to regret it. All her family property had been lost to them. This was retribution.
"This Su Youpeng!"
Looking at Liu Gang's investigation results, Li Yang shook his head helplessly, but there was a warmth in his heart. Su Youpeng must have known the news, so he made preparations for him in advance.
At this charity reception, there was a small auction, which auctioned antique collections donated by some young masters. This type of activity is very common in China, and more in Hong Kong.
Rich people will always spend something. Such charity auctions can not only increase their reputation, but also give them a better social platform. In recent years, Shanghai has been very popular here, almost
There are several times every year.
"Brother Li, he is a thoughtful person!" Liu Gang also smiled.
Zhou Tiecheng, the eldest son of Shanghai Baochang Group, donated five treasures that were recently auctioned. The original price he paid for the auction was 300,000. If it is auctioned again this time, no matter how much the price is, all of them will be donated to charity.
Become this donation.
And these five treasures are five of Li Jianyi's hundreds of treasures. Li Yang wants to take back all the treasures, so he cannot give up these five treasures.
Li Yang smiled and nodded: "I understand. We are also planning to attend the auction tomorrow night. It would be a good idea to donate the money to Ci!"
As he spoke, his eyes flashed again. No matter what the price of these five items was, the person who ultimately paid the bill would be Li Wenna, and Li Yang would not help her save money.
As for the invitations from Li Xiaosong, this is easier to understand. These treasures should belong to Li Xiaosong, so he might as well take them back with his own eyes.
