However, before leaving...

Wang Guoqiang, however, insisted on befriending Guan Feng and exchanging phone numbers.

Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wang, I came here purely to help a friend. I probably won't have much time to help people with appraisals in the future."

Wang Guoqiang said, "I can hire you at the highest price on the market."

Guan Feng shook his head and said, "It's not about the price, but that I'm not a professional appraiser. If you offer me money, I definitely won't agree."

Chen Qingxin added, "Yes, Uncle Wang, before we came, I tried to give Brother Guan a red envelope, but he refused to accept it no matter what. He came here purely to help a friend."

Wang Guoqiang became even more envious upon hearing this.

Compared to those who seek fame and fortune in the market, Guan Feng, who is indifferent to fame and fortune, is more in line with the image of a master.

Besides, they are truly capable!

Master Li's abilities in Hua'an were unquestionable, but his accurate predictions were overturned by this young man, leaving him no choice but to slink away.

He said, "We're just friends, right? Can't we be friends despite the age gap? Young man, I have some excellent tea that I've collected. I have both new and old tea, both black and green tea. Let's exchange phone numbers and make a connection. Come visit me often in the future, and we'll be good friends."

Seeing Wang Guoqiang's humble and submissive attitude, Guan Feng sighed helplessly and said, "Tea is fine, but Mr. Wang, we can't talk about money!"

Wang Guoqiang laughed and said, "Sure, sure! Since we're not talking about money, then don't call me Mr. Wang. We hit it off right away, so just call me Brother Wang, and I'll call you Brother Guan, okay?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "Brother Wang!"

Wang Guoqiang then gave Guan Feng a big hug.

He then left Guan Feng's number and said to the group, "Okay, I'll head back now! Let's get together again sometime."

The group watched the other person leave.

Back to Qingxin Xiaozhu.

Chen Qingxin's eyebrows curved into crescent moons as she exclaimed with delight, "Guan Feng, I didn't expect you to be right! This painting is worth over a hundred million. I really don't know how to thank you!"

Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "You are Ya Yue's friend, so you are my friend. There's no need for thanks between friends; what matters is the friendship."

Chen Qingxin shook her head and said, "No way! This is a painting worth hundreds of millions. How can we just let it go so easily? How about this, I'll talk to my father and transfer a portion of my shares to you. If you can't actually hold them, then we can hold them on your behalf?"

Guan Feng laughed and said, "This isn't gratitude, it's making me make a mistake!"

Chen Qingxin said, "Then I'll think of other ways, and I'm sure I won't make things difficult for you." She directly dialed her father's number and briefly explained the situation over the phone. Chen You seemed surprised that his daughter had met such an extraordinary person, and mentioned that he would be hosting a lunch for several people at the company.

Chen Qingxin hung up the phone and laughed, "Perfect timing! It's eleven o'clock now. Let's go to the company. My dad said he wants to treat you to dinner."

Guan Feng said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Chen Qingxin said, "Is it not allowed for friends to host a banquet? My father took into account your status as a public official and specially arranged for it to be held in the company cafeteria. There's nothing special about it, so please do me the honor of attending. Otherwise, you don't consider me a friend."

Seeing this, Guan Feng had no choice but to say, "Alright then."

After the group packed up the paintings, Chen Qingxin gave her assistant a few more instructions and drove to the Hai Niu New Energy Plant.

......

Hainiu New Energy Plant.

Guan Feng met the elegant Chen You for the first time.

The other person looked to be around fifty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and had a very refined demeanor, but his handshake was very strong.

Guan Feng made a judgment in his mind: This is a scholar-general!

Chen You was also sizing up Guan Feng.

Before he came, he had already asked an acquaintance in the GA system to find out Guan Feng's background.

After all, Chen Qingxin is his daughter. No matter how much he trusts her, he can't just blindly believe one side of the story and make a deal worth hundreds of millions. But when he inquired, he was shocked by Guan Feng's impressive resume.

Footprint identification!

Computer technology!

Handwriting analysis!

No case lasts more than 48 hours in his hands.

Chen You then reminded his old friend, who held an important position, "Hey Lao Yang, we've been friends for years. I'm asking you something in private, why are you still using that formal writing style?"

My old friend immediately rejected it!

He said this wasn't just documentation; it was real. Guan Feng's resume was truly legendary, so much so that even the provincial department was eager to hire him, and they even mentioned how Guan Feng had passed the provincial and municipal level assessments.

When he learned that Guan Feng, at such a young age, received a monthly subsidy of 60,000 yuan and would be participating in a handwriting identification expert review, with an estimated annual expert allowance of over 1 million yuan, the richest man in Hua'an was completely astonished.

For the first time ever, he asked, "Does Guan Feng have a girlfriend?"

An old friend laughed and said, "Xiao Guan just got transferred back to Hua'an and hasn't had time to date yet. What? You have something in mind? I remember your daughter is of marriageable age, right? If you're talking about other people, you might not be sure, but Xiao Guan? I guarantee your daughter will like him."

Chen You was still somewhat puzzled at the time.

His daughter was pampered by him since she was a child, and she studied at Huaqing University. She had met countless outstanding individuals, and he knew how high her standards were.

Upon hearing his old friend's introduction—that his father was a martyr and his mother worked in a ministry—he couldn't help but be tempted by this impeccable family background.

now!

When he shook hands with Guan Feng and got up close to Guan Feng's handsome face and tall stature, his feelings for him deepened.

He laughed and said, "Qingxin, is this the Xiao Guan you mentioned? He is indeed a handsome man. Please come in! I have already asked the kitchen to prepare the meal. Qingxin just reminded me, so I asked the kitchen to prepare eight dishes and two soups to make it perfect. It's just a simple meal for friends, so please don't be shy."
