The pretty figure at the door was none other than Li Tianzhao's daughter Li Xue'er. She was originally looking excited, but when she saw Zhou Ziyuan holding Qin Fen's arm, her face instantly dropped.
Regarding the changes in Li Xueer's face, Zhou Ziyuan's unique feminine sense had already guessed something. Especially when she saw Qin Fen's awkward expression, she already understood that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, especially with this woman.
He also calls Qin Fen Brother Qin, but he has never called him that before!
"Brother Qin, is this your girlfriend?!" Li Xueer was lost for a moment, but finally raised her head and asked carefully.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Ziyuan, I am Qin Fen's girlfriend!"
Before Qin Fen could speak, Zhou Ziyuan had already taken a step ahead of him and stretched out her hand towards Li Xueer.
Faced with this situation, the woman's jealousy and hostility were fully revealed. Although Zhou Ziyuan was smiling, she was clearly defending her sovereign status.
Li Xueer was stunned for a moment, but finally reached out her hand and shook it with Zhou Ziyuan.
I saw a hint of sadness on Li Xueer's face, her teeth clenched tightly, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes.
In fact, after being rescued by Qin Fen several times, Li Xueer has developed a sense of dependence on Qin Fen. She feels that as long as Qin Fen is around, he can protect her well. After all, Qin Fen has given her an unprecedented sense of security.
.
"Uh... Xue'er, why are you here? Where's Director Li?!" Qin Fen really didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly found a topic.
"He's at the back. Originally, I wanted to come over first to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect..."
While he was talking, he saw that Li Tianzhao had already walked over, but when he saw this scene, he basically understood what was going on.
"Haha, Qin Fen, I thought you weren't in the store. You came here without saying hello. It's really presumptuous!" Li Tianzhao smiled and shook hands with Qin Fen.
"Excuse me, I'm just opening a store and doing business. By the way, let me introduce you to Director Li. This is my girlfriend Zhou Ziyuan."
Qin Fen thought about it and decided that he would simply do nothing and not stop. Li Xueer still had illusions about herself.
Zhou Ziyuan smiled and nodded to Li Tianzhao, feeling quite happy that Qin Fen took the initiative to introduce him.
"I wonder if there is something wrong with Director Li coming here so early?!"
"Oh, Chen Gan's matter has been settled, and Lu Bo and I have signed an indefinite contract. No, I plan to leave this afternoon. I came to thank you. Also, I want to see your blue and white flowers.
…”
"Oh, that's it. There's no need to thank you. It's all a simple effort. As for this Yuanqinghua, it's in my branch. Come with me!"
Qin Fen said, he gestured and walked towards the branch.
At this time, Wen Tong and Tong Guyun were chatting happily. When they saw someone entering the store, they hurriedly stood up.
"Tong Lao, why are you here?!"
After Li Tianzhao entered the store, he saw Tong Guyun standing in the store and said with surprise on his face.
"Director Li, why did you come back to Dongchang?!"
Tong Guyun also looked confused, and hurriedly stepped forward, and the two shook hands.
"So you two have known each other for a long time?!" Qin Fen saw this situation and immediately smiled.
"More than just knowing each other, Qin Fen, when Mr. Tong was on a business trip to Hong Kong, he helped me appraise a porcelain vase from the Song Dynasty. If it hadn't been for Mr. Tong, I would have been cheated."
"I see!"
"Haha, this trivial matter of Director Li is not worth mentioning. Besides, Director Li is already considered an expert in porcelain." Tong Guyun waved her hands hurriedly.
"Qin Fen, I didn't expect you and Tong Lao to know each other. We really meet each other everywhere in life!" Li Tianzhao said happily immediately.
"Oh... Mr. Tong is the porcelain appraiser I hired at a high price. When he has nothing to do, he comes to my shop to help!"
After Qin Fen finished speaking, he glanced at Tong Guyun and saw that the other party gave him a grateful look, and Qin Fen smiled.
"I see, with Mr. Tong in charge, your Zhengde Zhai business must be very good." Li Tianzhao couldn't help but laugh.
"Director Li is right. The blue and white jade pot spring with double phoenix and flower pattern that you are interested in was the one that Mr. Tong personally laid eyes on!"
As soon as Qin Fen finished speaking, a flash of embarrassment flashed across Tong Guyun's face, and she couldn't help but feel full of admiration for the young Qin Fen. This was considered a way to give herself face.
"I see!"
"Haha, godfather, please take out the jade pot spring with the blue and white double phoenix and flower patterns. Director Li wants to take a look." Qin Fen turned around and said to Wen Tong, who was full of doubts.
"Um...ok."
"Guys, don't stand here, please come over here!"
Qin Fen signaled, and then several people walked to the sofa and sat down.
As for Zhou Ziyuan and Li Xueer's face looking at each other from time to time, Zhou Ziyuan's face was full of pride, but Li Xueer's face was full of unhappiness.
Although Qin Fen had discovered it a long time ago, at this moment, he could only pretend to know nothing.
After a while, Wen Tong came over with the brocade box in his arms and carefully placed it on the coffee table. Qin Fen opened the box, and it was revealed that it was the Yuan blue and white flower he bought in Xichang.
"Director Li..."
"Um!"
When Li Tianzhao heard Qin Fen calling him, he reached out and carefully took the jade pot spring with blue and white double phoenix and flower patterns in his hand. After looking at it for a moment, his face was full of surprise.
"Qin Fen, to be honest, I have hundreds of pieces of porcelain at home, but I am only missing one Yuan blue and white piece. I wonder if I can give up my love?!"
After a while, Li Tianzhao finally asked.
"Director Li, you'd better take a closer look. After all, there are many modern imitations of Yuan blue and white." Qin Fen did not answer directly, but gave a careful reminder.
"Haha, with Lao Tong's eyes and the name of Zhengde Zhai, I have no reason not to believe it!" Li Tianzhao said with a chuckle.
"Haha, it's better to keep relationships and business separate!"
"Qin Fen, let alone anything else, I have sacrificed my life to save my daughter twice, and I have no reason to doubt you! Tell me, how much do you plan to pay for this thing!"
While Li Tianzhao was speaking, he carefully glanced at Zhou Ziyuan.
Of course Qin Fen could hear it. The old fox clearly told Zhou Ziyuan that he was trying to gain the initiative for his daughter.
Sure enough, a hint of pride suddenly appeared on Li Xueer's face, and she pouted at Zhou Ziyuan.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziyuan also understood the meaning, and immediately said without any sign of weakness: "My husband is right, it is better to keep business and relationships separate. I think Mr. Tong is a master of porcelain. The value of this Yuan blue and white flower is still determined by Tong."
Let me tell you, we have to go back to my husband's hometown later to visit our relatives, so we can't delay any longer."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people changed, especially Li Xueer. Unexpectedly, Zhou Ziyuan and Qin Fen had already reached the stage of meeting their parents, and a trace of disappointment suddenly appeared on their faces again.
"Yuanyuan is right. We are all friends. I think we should ask Mr. Tong to be a guest!" Qin Fen thought about it and felt that Zhou Ziyuan's idea was not bad!
"Well... Okay, let me tell you!" Mr. Tong glanced at a few people and had to bite the bullet and said: "Everyone knows that Yuan blue and white flowers are rare in the world, so the price has also risen, especially in the domestic market in recent years.
The price has been soaring, and even overseas people are full of curiosity about Yuanqinghua."
"Needless to say the shape of this Yuan blue and white jade pot with double phoenixes and floral patterns. In terms of appearance, it is really a rare good thing, especially the inscription. It was in the seventh year of Zhengzheng. As far as I know, this one still exists.
There seem to be only a few pieces. The current market price for Yuan blue and white pieces of this size should be around 30 million, but if it is sold at auction, it can reach at least 50 million."
Hearing what Mr. Tong said, Qin Fen nodded with a smile, but Zhou Ziyuan and Wen Tong were a little surprised. They didn't expect that such a Yuanqinghua could be sold for 50 million.
"Mr. Tong is right. Since Director Li likes it, let's discuss the business deal with 30 million!" Qin Fen simply did not ask for 50 million.
Li Tianzhao didn't hesitate, he took out a check from his bag, wrote it a few times, and handed it to Qin Fen.
"Eighty million?!" Qin Fen couldn't help but be confused.
"Haha, Qin Fen's Yuan Qinghua is priced at 50 million. As for the remaining 30 million, it is a reward for saving my daughter several times. Be sure to accept it!" Li Tianzhao said with a smile.
Qin Fen was a little embarrassed now, but thinking about it, Li Tianzhao was not short of money, so he didn't hesitate and handed the check to Wen Tong directly.
"In this case, I will be disrespectful!"
"Okay, I'll leave first. Qin Fen remembers that if you go to Hong Kong, you must tell me, and I will pick you up." Li Tianzhao packed the Yuan Qinghua, held it in his arms, and then stood up excitedly.
.
Li Xueer on the side looked at Qin Fen with an angry look on her face.
"Okay, it's a deal!" Qin Fen shook hands with Li Tianzhao again and sent Li Tianzhao and his daughter to the gate. Zhou Ziyuan was always by his side.
"Sister Yuanyuan, can I have a few words with Qin Fen alone?!" Li Xueer knew that she had to leave, so she gritted her teeth and looked at Zhou Ziyuan with a pleading look.
Zhou Ziyuan's beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise. In fact, to be honest, she was not the kind of jealous woman. It was just that Li Xueer had never given her a good face just now, so she simply fought with her. Now that she saw her opponent losing, Zhou Ziyuan also
He lost his temper, smiled at Li Xueer, and then turned around and returned to the store.
As for Tong Guyun, she hurriedly walked to Li Tianzhao and the two chatted in a low voice.
"Bon voyage Xue'er!" Qin Fen showed a smile.
"Don't you have anything else to say?!" Li Xueer looked at Qin Fen lovingly with her beautiful eyes.
"Uh... Xue'er, I'm really happy to meet you. It's fate. Wait a minute!" After Qin Fen said this, he hurriedly walked back into the store and took out a finely crafted Wada from the counter.
The mutton-fat jade Buddha, with the movement of the Sanqing Jue, blessed a safe exorcism spell.
"We got to know each other, and I gave this jade Buddha to you. I hope you are safe and happy!" Qin Fen handed the jade Buddha to Li Xueer.
Li Xueer took the jade Buddha and hung it carefully around her neck. She shed two lines of clear tears from her beautiful eyes and said in a daze: "Destiny comes and goes like water, what's the use of it?!"
"Uh..." Qin Fen looked helpless.
"Brother Qin...can I hug you?!"
Qin Fen's face felt embarrassed, and he quietly turned around and glanced at Zhou Ziyuan. Seeing Qin Fen's embarrassed expression, Zhou Ziyuan simply turned her face to one side, and couldn't help but secretly curse, Qin Fen, you are so merciless.
