As soon as Guan Xiaowei left, everyone stopped mentioning what happened just now.
The people present were all people who had been in society for many years, had seen big scenes, and were good at handling things. No one mentioned the matter just now, but found other topics to talk about.
Guan Xiaoxue pulled Mr. Guan and said, "Grandpa, look at how accomplished Zichen is in antiques!"
Mr. Guan's love for Guan Xiaoxue was nothing to say, and he nodded repeatedly: "Xiao Zhou's attainments in antiques are really high. I haven't gone out in the past few months, but I didn't expect that such a young master would come out of our Jiangdong City.
"
The second half of Mr. Guan's words was addressed to Zhou Zichen.
Zhou Zichen said modestly: "Thank you, old man. I can't be considered a master. I just fiddled around on my own. A blind cat meets a dead mouse. I got a few antiques right and everyone loves them."
Guan Xiaoxue made a "cut" sound and said: "You are getting an advantage and acting like a good boy. If you are good, you will be good. We won't arrest you to do hard work."
Zhou Zichen smiled bitterly, Guan Xiaoxue's words really made people choke: "Then should I say that these things are just childish, and one day I will find out all Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface"?"
Guan Xiaoxue wrinkled her nose at Zhou Zichen and made a face.
Mr. Guan looked at Guan Xiaoxue dotingly and said, "How can you talk like that? If you act like this, I don't think anyone would dare to marry you."
When Guan Xiaoxue heard this, she broke up and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, why are you talking about this again? I will definitely be able to find the Prince Charming I want in the future."
"It's up to you! It's up to you! It's better if you don't get married so you can stay with me at home, but it's not okay if you stay unmarried. You have to have a family." Mr. Guan said and patted Guan Xiaoxue's hand gently.
hand.
"I do, I have my parents at home, and I have you, grandpa!" Guan Xiaoxue said with a smile: "By the way, grandpa, Zichen's antique attainments are so high, isn't our family also engaged in the antique business? He happens to be opening one
Antique City, we can cooperate with him."
Mr. Guan did not agree immediately, but asked with a smile: "You haven't done anything with Xiao Zhou yet, and you are just thinking about finding resources for him. If the two of you really establish a relationship, don't you want to put the whole thing together?
Give him all the Guan family!"
Everyone can tell that what Mr. Guan said was a joke. Even if Guan Xiaoxue becomes the head of the family, he cannot manage the Guan family's property alone. All the shares are allocated to individuals, and some of them belong to the entire Guan family.
The most Guan Xiaoxue can do is take away her part of the shares.
But one can also hear what Mr. Guan said. He does not object to the relationship between Zhou Zichen and Guan Xiaoxue, and he does not even object to Guan Xiaoxue giving her shares to Zhou Zichen.
Not to mention Guan Xiaoxue, even Zhou Zichen was a little embarrassed now. He had never thought about getting something from the Guan family in vain.
Don't say that he and Guan Xiaoxue have nothing now, even if they have something, Zhou Zichen would rather use the money he earns to support Guan Xiaoxue instead of relying on Guan Xiaoxue to feed the Guan family.
Guan Xiaoxue was shy for a while, and she pulled Mr. Guan and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Are you going to cooperate with Zichen or not? We have so many antiques and we don't open a museum. It would be easier to sell them in his antique city."
It caused a lot of trouble.”
Mr. Guan laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. When the time comes, just you and Zichen will finalize this matter."
Zhou Zichen didn't expect that Mr. Guan would really agree. The two most important points for opening an antique city are the masters who control the market. Zhou Zichen was interested in Cheng Ye and Wang Qida. The two of them are actually very talented, but over the years,
Under the aura of Mr. Cheng and Wang Changlin, they are not very dazzling, and the two of them are indeed lacking in experience, but as long as they have time to hone, they will definitely become masters in the future.
With the town's market and the master's eye, another point is the number of antiques and the number of fine products. They can be purchased directly from the market. It is certainly not difficult to find tens of millions.
It’s hard to find high-quality products worth millions of dollars. When visiting an antique city, you can’t miss out on high-quality products.
It would be much easier if the relevant company provided a large number of high-quality antiques. It would be beneficial for Zhou Zichen to earn part of the profit from the process, or even to make no profit at all.
………………
In Guan's study room, Guan Xiaowei and Zhang's father and son were sitting on the sofa. The faces of the three of them were not very good-looking.
"Master Guan, if Zhou Zichen really partners with the Guan family in antiques, what should we do?" Zhang Hao asked cautiously.
The Zhang family and his son came here this time because they wanted to establish a good relationship with Mr. Guan, and then get the support of the Guan family to hit the antique world again.
Mr. Guan likes antiques, so he keeps a close eye on the Guan family’s antique business. Guan Xiaowei’s words have no big effect. Mr. Guan must give his approval.
Guan Xiaowei's face was so gloomy that it could drop cold water. Today, he had lost face because of Zhou Zichen. The Zhang family and his son also found him by themselves. They originally wanted to hand over part of the Guan family's antique business to the Zhang family, which would be regarded as a gift.
He cultivated some "minions" by himself, but he didn't expect that Zhou Zichen would get the upper hand. Guan Xiaowei, who originally had no good impression of Zhou Zichen, hated Zhou Zichen even more.
"This matter is not over!" Guan Xiaowei said gloomily: "Since he is such a hindrance, it just so happens that he has to pass through the Zhishui River on his way back, so it is normal for him to rush into the river drunk."
As soon as Guan Xiaowei said these words, the faces of the Zhang family and his son changed. Guan Xiaowei was going to kill someone!
Zhang Hao was still young, and he hated Zhou Zichen deeply, so after he realized what he was doing, he was looking forward to it.
Zhang Jianlin is different from Zhang Hao. He has more things to consider. Although he also hopes that Zhou Zichen will die, if Guan Xiaowei takes action, his father and son will definitely not be able to escape: "Young Master Guan, this matter is still too risky.
Come on, if it is exposed, it will be difficult to deal with."
Guan Xiaowei glanced sideways at Zhang Jianlin and said, "You are only in your forties, and now you are timid? You two are not allowed to do these things, so I will find someone to do it."
Zhang Jianlin did not dare to persuade him too much, and Guan Xiaowei's attitude was very firm. Zhang Jianlin could only pray that nothing would go wrong. If anything went wrong, the two father and son would definitely be buried first.
………………
The banquet did not end until ten o'clock, and Zhou Zichen also received more than twenty business cards. In fact, most of these people came because of the relationship between Guan Xiaoxue and Zhou Zichen, and Zhou Zichen's accomplishments in antiques.
Guan Xiaoxue sent Zhou Zichen to the door. The person in charge of reception had already driven Zhou Zichen's car over and handed it back to Zhou Zhi.
Seeing Zhou Zichen about to get in the car, Guan Xiaoxue quickly said, "You've been drinking, do you want to rest here for the night before leaving?"
Zhou Zichen looked at Guan Xiaoxue with a smile and said, "You can't bear to leave me?"
Guan Xiaoxue spat at Zhou Zichen: "I know that I'm glib and don't want to stay, so just leave quickly!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Zichen stopped teasing Guan Xiaoxue with his glib tongue. After saying goodbye to Guan Xiaoxue, he got in the car and drove away.
Although it is said that Guan Xiaoxue's villa is in the city, no matter how busy the city is, there are still places that are relatively remote and rarely visited by people.
On Zhou Zichen's way back, there happened to be a section like this. He deliberately slowed down for fear of hitting something. He originally thought there would be no one on this road, but who knew that three or four young people suddenly rushed out of the roadside halfway through the drive?
, blocking Zhou Zichen’s car.
"Chiji..."
Zhou Zichen braked hard and finally stopped the car, only to see four people surrounding him from both sides.
None of these people were nagging. They came up and wanted to pull Zhou Zichen down. The other two people found a rope from nowhere and apparently wanted to tie Zhou Zichen up.
Zhou Zichen raised his feet and kicked the two people who were pulling him to the ground: "Who sent you?"
No one answered Zhou Zichen, and there were two others. They originally wanted to block Zhou Zichen from the co-pilot's side. According to Guan Xiaowei's instructions, they wanted to sink directly into the river, but they couldn't let Zhou Zichen escape.
The four of them were all serious practitioners. They originally thought that as long as Zhou Zichen was forced to stop, the rest of the matter would be simple.
What they didn't expect was that Zhou Zichen knocked down two of them with just two kicks.
Zhou Zichen didn't need them to invite him, so he got out of the car, closed the door, and walked towards the other two people. The two people who were kicked down would definitely not be able to get up for a while.
"Don't tell me? I gave you a chance!" Zhou Zichen strode towards the two people.
The two practitioners also came towards Zhou Zichen and took out two Swiss Army knives, also known as Swiss multifunctional knives, from their pockets. They flicked the large knives inside out with a flick.
Zhou Zichen glanced at the shining Swiss Army Knife, sneered, and walked up in a fashionable stride. The distance between the two parties was getting closer and closer, and they happened to meet right in front of the car.
The car's lights just provided lighting for the three of them, allowing them to see the fight clearly on the dark road.
The two practitioners saw the opportunity and rushed forward together. One on the left and one on the right, two gleaming sabers stabbed Zhou Zichen. One of them hit the chest, and the other stabbed the lower abdomen.
Zhou Zichen raised his foot and kicked one person, and at the same time reached out his hand to grab the other person's wrist.
"ah……"
"ah……"
Two cries of pain sounded at the same time. One person was kicked away by Zhou Zichen, and the other person was grabbed by Zhou Zichen's wrist. Under Zhou Zichen's strong hand strength, the Swiss Army Knife in his hand had been released, and Zhou Zichen caught it.
Zhou Zichen pulled hard, and the man caught by Zhou Zichen suddenly lost his center of gravity, flew up in the air, and fell hard to the ground.
The Swiss Army knife in Zhou Zichen's hand stabbed the man on the ground hard, directly piercing his palm.
"ah……"
There was another scream.
"Should I tell you now, who sent you here?" Zhou Zichen asked.
Still silent.
Zhou Zichen stepped on his wrist, pulled out the Swiss Army Knife with force, and quickly stabbed it in again.
Another shrill scream pierced the night sky. The three people who were kicked to the ground by Zhou Zichen looked at Zhou Zichen ruthlessly abusing their companions. Their eyes were splitting, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn't get up at all.
"I'll give you three more seconds to think about it. If you don't tell me, I will destroy your limbs!" Zhou Zichen said and pulled out the Swiss Army Knife: "One..."
"two……"
"three……"
After Zhou Zichen finished speaking, he stabbed the wrist of the other hand of the man at his feet with the Swiss Army Knife. With the blessing of his eyes, it was easy to directly cut off his tendon.
"I said...I said..." A man who was kicked away by Zhou Zichen shouted loudly.
Zhou Zichen stopped his hand, and the tip of the knife had already pierced the skin of his wrist.
"Who is it?" Zhou Zichen asked.
"Guan Xiaowei!"
Zhou Zichen threw the Swiss Army Knife into the river with a wave of his hand. He ignored these people and turned around to get in the car.
The BMW 740 backed up a few meters, turned around, and sped away.
