"Tony, I've never heard you say that you like Miss Donna's paintings before. Why did you suddenly buy "Fire Phoenix" today?" Catherine asked in confusion.
"Oh, actually I didn't buy this painting for myself!" Tang Ning replied casually.
"Who is it for?" Catherine asked.
"Deanna, she has a very good relationship with Miss Donna!" Tangning explained.
After hearing this answer, Catherine hesitated for a moment, then took a step closer and asked: "Tony, tell the truth, do you like Deanna?"
"Are you kidding? She is my student!" Tang Ning glared at her and replied with some displeasure.
"But isn't it common for painters to have romances with students or models?" Catherine insisted.
"Not every teacher has a relationship with a student!" Tang Ning retorted.
While the two were arguing, there was a sudden knock on the door. Tang Ning opened the door and saw that it was Can Ning, the hotel owner.
Canning asked with an embarrassed look: "Mr. Tangning, is the "Flaming Phoenix" still here with you?"
Tangning nodded in confusion and replied, "Of course! Just hang it there!"
Canning seemed to have mustered up the courage, and then he asked bravely: "Um, Mr. Tangning, can you sell me this painting again?"
Maybe he knew that this request was too ridiculous, so Canning quickly explained: "Actually, a friend of mine wanted to buy it. He said that he really liked this painting, but he didn't expect that I would be willing to sell it, so he wanted to buy it from you.
I want to buy this painting, but don’t worry, he will pay double the price!”
"Double the price?" Tangning couldn't believe her ears for a moment, because to be honest, although this "Fire Phoenix" represents Donna's highest level, even the price Tangning bought it for was a bit exaggerated, so what about this one?
Double the price is even more incredible.
Canning seemed to know that the price was abnormal, and helped explain: "Maybe he thinks the price is too low, so you won't sell it!"
Tang Ning thought to herself, what you said is true, but naturally she can't admit it, so she asked herself, "Actually, it's not a matter of price. Mr. Canning, you also know that I am not short of money, but since your friend
If he likes this painting so much, then I will make it happen!"
Although Canning never believed Tang Ning's words, he would not expose it on the surface, so he smiled and replied, "Thank you, Mr. Tang Ning!"
After Canning left, Catherine asked with surprise: "Tony, is this "Flaming Phoenix" worth four hundred dollars?"
Tangning shook her head without hesitation and replied, "Absolutely not worth it! In fact, I think two hundred dollars is a bit high!"
"Then why is Mr. Canning's friend willing to spend so much money on it?" Catherine asked in confusion.
Tangning shrugged and replied, "How do I know that? But no matter what, we all made a small profit, right?"
"That's true," Catherine agreed, and then suggested: "Then go buy me some clothes tomorrow!"
"Okay!" Tangning replied casually.
Originally, Tangning didn't want to take Catherine to Danina's store, but she didn't expect that she would arrive there after just a few visits. Fortunately, the meeting between the three of them was not awkward. She didn't even know if it was because they had the same experience.
Danina actually got along very well with her, and even Catherine planned to stay and help Danina open the store.
Originally, Tang Ning was too lazy to listen to gossip among women, but somehow the two of them actually talked about Maxi, and Danina actually said: "Are you talking about Paul? He seems to be in New York recently. I was there a few days ago.
I think I saw him on Fifth Avenue, but he was a bit far away, so I couldn’t see him very clearly!”
If it were anyone else, Tangning might still be worried about whether she saw it wrong, but Danina is Maxi's ex-wife, so she quickly asked, "Danina, you said you also saw Paul?"
Danina nodded and replied: "Yes, what's the matter?"
Tangning shook her head and replied, "Well, it's nothing, I just don't understand why he lied to me and said he went to Yorktown!"
"I don't know if it's because of the amnesia caused by that injury, but I always feel that Paul is weird now. I even feel that he is not the Paul before!" Danina said with emotion.
Tangning nodded and agreed, "Actually, I feel the same way. Although Paul is very polite now, to be honest, I still like the Paul who was messing around all day long!"
Because the two women hit it off immediately, Tangning checked out of the hotel and moved into the house he bought for Danina and Kayla (previously, he was worried that they would be embarrassed to live together because they were not familiar with each other). Julie even came that night.
While Tangning was playing the king's game of "one king and four queens", a mysterious man wearing a black robe and a mask was sitting in the shadows and coldly ordered Maxi who was standing in front of her: "Paul
, you should leave New York as soon as possible tomorrow!"
"Why?" Maxi asked in confusion.
"You may have been discovered. In order to reduce trouble, please leave for a while!" The masked man replied calmly.
"Who discovered me?" Maxi asked.
But the masked man refused to answer: "You don't need to know this!"
Although Maxi was a little dissatisfied, she didn't dare to show it, so she had no choice but to agree: "Okay, then where should I go?"
"Go to Yokohama. It just so happens that Jiro Kawai has been a little disobedient recently. Go and teach him a lesson!" the masked man ordered.
Maxi recalled for a moment, and then asked: "Jiro Kawai? Is that the Japanese who came to Tony to buy weapons before?"
The masked man nodded and replied: "Yes, that's him! Although this man is smart, he is too ambitious, so he needs to be beaten from time to time!"
"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare!" Maxi said as ordered.
After Maxi left, a young woman slowly walked out of the inner room, frowned and said to the masked man: "Maxi seems to be a little disobedient recently!"
But the masked man waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Paul, don't worry, there is absolutely no question about his loyalty!"
"What I'm worried about is not Maxi's loyalty, but his curiosity!" the young woman replied solemnly.
If Tangning were here, he would definitely be shocked at this moment, because he knows this young woman. She is none other than Bai Min, the Chinese woman who Tangning recently wanted to find and ask if she was the one who killed Zena!
PS: I found a book with a very interesting beginning, "Everyone Ask Me to Be the Emperor". It is a book about destiny that has been rarely written in the past two years, but the later ones are not so good.
