No one around them gathered around the three of them to watch the fun, but everyone was chatting casually while listening to the conversation between Zhou Zichen and Mr. Guan.
It is not difficult to see that Mr. Guan's attitude is obviously biased towards Zhou Zichen. As long as Zhou Zichen completes the current project of Yanyunju, the Guan family may take good care of Zhou Zichen in the future.
The most important thing is Guan Xiaoxue's attitude. Although she is not polite in her words, the casualness in her tone is the most important thing. It doesn't mean that the relationship is good enough, it will not "hurt" Zhou Zi so much.
Chen.
People around began to speculate about the relationship between Zhou Zichen and Guan Xiaoxue. Some people even speculated that the two might be a couple, otherwise Guan Xiaoxue would not be able to use her family business to help a friend.
Some people have even begun to think about whether to have a relationship with Zhou Zichen. Guan Xiaoxue will most likely be the head of the Guan family in the future. If they establish a good relationship with Zhou Zichen in advance, they can also talk to Guan Xiaoxue.
As soon as Mr. Guan left, Guan Xiaoxue said to Zhou Zichen: "How do you want to thank me?"
"Didn't I say I'd like to treat you to dinner? Otherwise, I'll give you my own life?" Zhou Zichen said and winked at Guan Xiaoxue.
Guan Xiaoxue snorted and said, "Why are you so glib now?"
Zhou Zichen smiled and said, "You don't like it?"
Zhou Zichen's character is quite out-of-the-box. When he was in the orphanage, he had troubles with Wang Ziqi. Later, when he entered the society, he had a lot of pressure. He also learned that he must be "stable", or at least look stable, so some of his character in his bones
He hides it and only shows it when he is with people he is very familiar with.
These days Zhou Zichen has achieved a certain status, at least he no longer has to compromise for the sake of life, and his original character is slowly revealed.
Guan Xiaoxue blushed at the question and her heart beat violently, but she denied it: "Just like you, I don't like you!"
"Really or not?" Zhou Zichen deliberately looked into Guan Xiaoxue's eyes and asked.
Guan Xiaoxue felt a little angry when Zhou Zichen saw her: "Why are you like this? You always like to bully me."
Seeing that Guan Xiaoxue's face was extremely red, Zhou Zichen stopped teasing Guan Xiaoxue: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I still have to thank you for this matter. When I have time, I will treat you to dinner."
"Okay, I want to eat well then. One meal is not enough. You have to treat me for a month, and you can only treat me alone. If I want you to treat me, you have to come to me immediately." Guan Xiaoxue
Taking the opportunity to add conditions and treat them with food for a month is not a big problem for the two of them.
Guan Xiaoxue was even more happy that she had found a reason for herself to find Zhou Zichen openly.
Although Guan Xiaoxue's character is a bit careless, she still couldn't do it if she was asked to take the initiative to chase Zhou Zichen. She wanted to call Zhou Zichen many times these days and clicked on Zhou Zichen's phone number, but she didn't call it out. In the end, she just
Can give up.
"As long as I have time, this is not a problem." As Zhou Zichen spoke, he felt as if someone was looking at him. When he turned around, he saw an acquaintance, looking at him with a sinister look in his eyes.
resentment.
This person was Zhang Hao, Zhou Zichen's old acquaintance, and his father Zhang Jianlin was also there, but Zhang Jianlin was much more steady. He didn't show much expression when he saw Zhou Zichen, and even raised his glass slightly to say hello.
Everyone "don't mind", Zhou Zichen naturally didn't mind either, raised his glass and took a sip of wine.
"Do you know them?" Guan Xiaoxue asked curiously when she saw Zhou Zichen and Zhang Jianlin raising their glasses from a distance.
Zhou Zichen withdrew his gaze and said, "We know each other, we are old acquaintances."
"Why do you hang out with such people? Don't get too close to them. They are not good people." Guan Xiaoxue's tone revealed her displeasure towards the Zhang family and his son.
Zhou Zichen was slightly surprised: "You don't like their family too?"
"They are very close to my brother, and they were invited by my brother. Don't get too close to them, or you may suffer a loss," Guan Xiaoxue said.
Zhou Zichen didn't expect that the Zhang family and his son had a relationship with the Guan family. Seeing that Guan Xiaoxue cared so much about him, he explained: "I am my enemy. They have suffered several losses at my hands and they don't like me!"
"You let them suffer? Zhang Hao is a little arrogant. He has shown some ability these days, but he is far behind you, but Zhang Jianlin is an old fox." Guan Xiaoxue couldn't believe it. From Guan Xiaoxue
Judging from the evaluation of the Zhang family and his son, Zhang Jianlin's reputation outside the country is really not very good.
While the two were talking, Zhang Hao had already gone to say hello to Mr. Guan. Guan Xiaoxue frowned when she saw it, and pulled Zhou Zichen towards that side: "Let's go over and have a look, they must be taking pictures of my grandpa again."
That’s bullshit.”
Zhou Zichen had no intention of going over to join in the fun. This was a dinner hosted by the Guan family. It would not be good if Zhang Hao was really ignorant and caused trouble here.
But seeing Guan Xiaoxue's angry look, she hesitated for a moment and then walked over.
Guan Xiaoxue was still measured and did not go up to confront the Zhang family and his son.
Zhang Hao didn't know when he held a box in his hand. When greeting Mr. Guan, he handed it to Mr. Guan with both hands: "Old man, I heard that you like antiques. This is my first visit, so I don't know if you like it or not."
Mr. Guan did not accept the box: "Xiao Zhang, you just come. You don't need to bring any gifts. I can't accept this. We don't like giving gifts here."
Zhang Jianlin smiled and said: "Old man, it is appropriate for us juniors to give you a small gift."
Zhang Jianlin was considered a respectable person in Jiangdong City. Although the old man didn't like them for breaking the rules, he didn't offend Zhang Jianlin. He reached out to take the box handed over by Zhang Hao and said half-jokingly: "Let's take a look first!
It’s too expensive, I won’t accept it!”
This also played into the hands of Zhang Jianlin and his son. They took great pains to choose this gift and took a long time to choose it: "Okay, please give us your palm."
Mr. Guan opened the box. Inside the box was a cone-shaped scepter with a round handshake on the top. The scepter was made of bronze and engraved with simple and exquisite patterns. The pattern looked like an old man sitting on a throne.
Go up, raise your hands, and hand the scepter to a young man.
Mr. Guan liked Zhang Daqian's paintings, but he also had a deep knowledge of antiques. He carefully observed the pattern on it and praised it: "Although this pattern is not superior, there are few scepters in the past dynasties of our country, and most of them are made by tribes in the northwest region.
Very few symbols of clan authority can be preserved, so this scepter can be considered a fine product."
Zhang Hao was very excited after hearing this. The old man still spoke highly of this scepter.
Zhou Zichen frowned slightly when he saw the scepter. Out of curiosity, Zhou Zichen used his superpower to look at the scepter and found that the scepter had a long history and should be an item from the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
However, this scepter is not so suitable for playing with, at least until you fully understand this scepter, it is not so suitable for playing with.
When Zhang Hao saw Zhou Zichen's frowning expression, he immediately felt unhappy and said loudly: "Old man, originally we prepared a painting by Zhang Daqian for you, but because of some accidents in our antique city a few days ago, the loss
Tragically, that painting was also lost."
The old man liked Zhang Daqian's words very much and asked casually: "What's going on?"
Zhang Hao did not dare to speak directly about Zhou Zichen, and deliberately led the old man to ask. At this time, he could say openly: "Our business in the antique city is good, and it is easy to attract the resentment of colleagues. It seems that Zhou Zichen is more powerful in the antique city."
You guys, seeing all the antique collectors coming to our place, started a scheme to slander us for counterfeiting antiques, which eventually led to our antique city being closed down, and almost all the antiques being stolen or confiscated."
Zhou Zichen couldn't help but admire Zhang Hao, his ability to tell lies with open eyes has reached the level of proficiency.
Originally, Zhou Zichen had no intention of taking care of this matter, so he asked Guan Xiaoxue to tell Mr. Guan to pay attention to the scepter. Unexpectedly, Zhang Hao still looked for trouble for himself.
After hearing this, Mr. Guan was also stunned. He had a very good impression of Zhou Zichen and looked at Zhou Zichen with some confusion: "Xiao Zhou, what is going on?"
Zhou Zichen knew that he couldn't hide now, so he walked out.
Guan Xiaoxue took Zhou Zichen's arm and followed him out, giving Zhang Hao a fierce look. She didn't believe Zhang Hao's nonsense. Although she didn't know what the situation was at that time, she believed Zhou Zichen unconditionally.
, so he followed Zhou Zichen and stood up, saying that he was on Zhou Zichen's side.
Zhou Zichen explained to the old man: "Old man, in our antique circle, many people should know about this matter. What happened at that time, many people also saw it. When I went to the antique city, all their antiques had been transferred.
Already."
Zhang Hao immediately retorted: "All the surveillance at the time was destroyed, and we didn't even know that those antiques had been subcontracted."
When Zhang Hao said these words, he was really out of breath and didn't blush. He didn't feel any pressure at all when telling lies.
Zhou Zichen said calmly: "When you say these words, you'd better think about how to cover up this lie. The people caught in the basement of your antique city at that time were all the staff of your antique city. They were all
He is a member of a counterfeiting antiques group, and this person was arrested by the police once before the incident in your antique city. I happened to go there too. Speaking of which, I still have some grievances with them. Do you think I might frame you?"
"And these things can be checked in the police files. Do you want us to check them together now?"
What Zhou Zichen said was reasonable and well-founded. The people who were arrested at that time were all his enemies. Anyone with a discerning eye would know immediately that this could not be Zhou Zichen's doing.
Zhang Hao was speechless when asked. He originally wanted to give Zhou Zichen a shit basin, but he didn't expect that Zhou Zichen still had such a grudge with that group of people.
Zhang Hao hesitated for a while and said: "Hmph... Anyway, if something happens to our antique city, we won't be able to escape if you add insult to injury."
