310: Homeless people want a home
The summer rain came as soon as it was promised. Fortunately, "Garden" was packed very well before it was shipped over and it didn't get wet at all. The only person who got wet was Jiang Zhiyan himself.
The dissolute playboy became a drowned rat.
Of course he knew what a live-in son-in-law was.
But it doesn’t matter.
The Jiang family has no shortage of people to carry on the family line, so he's lucky enough to be able to live his own life. I think his parents who passed away early wouldn't blame him... He really seems to have a home.
However, Tangtang did not let Jiang Zhiyan in.
Jiang Zhiyan thought about it, left the painting behind and left.
"What a bastard!"
At daybreak, the property management notified Tangtang to pick up the painting. However, such a large painting would take up space wherever it was placed, so the residents had to take it away quickly.
Tangtang was having trouble carrying the painting because of her big belly, so Xu Yao helped her take it back.
After removing the outer packaging to reveal the painting inside, Xu Yao took a deep breath.
"This is Jason's painting...the one Jiang Zhiyan bought!"
The painting that Jiang Zhiyan spent eight figures to buy, which aroused great curiosity from the outside world, is now displayed in Tangtang's living room, and Xu Yao was able to appreciate it without spending a penny.
Delicate painting style, gentle brushstrokes.
Xu Yao was stunned, and so was Tangtang.
Tangtang saw Jason's paintings when she attended an event. "Black Sea" made people feel depressed and uncomfortable.
This painting, "Garden", is different.
People who feel lost and long for family warmth are more likely to resonate with this, such as Xu Yao and Tangtang.
Tangtang suddenly felt that Jiang Zhiyan might not be joking when he said he wanted to be a live-in son-in-law. This thought was immediately rejected by Tangtang herself. She was moved by the painting because she had no family. Apart from the baby in her belly, she had no family either. Jiang Zhiyan, on the other hand, had a whole family!
The domineering cousin, the arrogant grandmother, and other members of the Jiang family who I haven't met yet and are probably equally difficult to get along with.
That's what a wealthy family is like.
"What do you think?"
Xu Yao's voice startled Tangtang awake. Tangtang pursed her lips and said, "I don't think much about it. Who knows what he's up to? I'll have someone send the painting back."
Tangtang was too lazy to argue with Jiang Zhiyan. Jiang Zhiyan could run away, but he couldn't. Tangtang just needed to send the painting to Huahu. It was Jiang Zhiyan's business whether to sign for it or not!
Even for this painting worth tens of millions, no matter who is assigned to deliver it, Tangtang has to watch over it and escort it.
——Jiang Zhiyan is indeed a bastard, always looking for trouble!
"Let me help you deliver it."
Xu Yao became worried when she thought of Tangtang’s big belly.
Tangtang didn't want to confront Jiang Zhiyan head-on, so she smiled sheepishly at Xu Yao and said, "Thank you for your help."
"Do we need to talk about trouble between us?"
Xu Yao waved her hand indifferently.
On the way to the studio, Xu Yao stopped by Huahu.
She had come here to find Gu Jun before she got divorced, but at that time she didn't know that Gu Jun was the boss of Huahu. The two met in a restaurant next to the company. This was the first time Xu Yao had actually stepped into this famous Internet technology company.
Xu Yao called Jiang Zhiyan to ask him to collect the painting, but the guy was still at home.
Xu Yao sighed, almost forgetting that there was a difference between the boss and the cows and horses. The cows and horses had to punch in and out on time, but the boss didn't.
"Then I'll put the painting on the front desk for you?"
"No, no, no, I'm going to the company now, wait for me!"
Jiang Zhiyan wanted to meet and ask about Tangtang's situation, and begged Xu Yao to wait for him.
Xu Yao agreed.
Before Jiang Zhiyan came, he saw Zheng Weiler first.
"Ms. Xu?"
Zheng Weier greeted Xu Yao with a smile: "Come to see Mr. Gu?"
Xu Yao already knew that Zheng Weiler had joined Huahu.
Zheng Weiler is in charge of some of Huahu's recent charity activities. Zheng Weiler is very capable in these matters. She can generate momentum of several million when Huahu spends one million on charity. The company needs people like Gu Jun, people like Jiang Zhiyan, and people like Zheng Weiler.
Zheng Wei'er, who is engaged in business, is more likable than Zheng Wei'er, who is engaged in female competition. Xu Yao's tone is also polite: "I am not looking for Mr. Gu."
Zheng Weier smiled and said, "I thought you didn't know that Mr. Gu was on a business trip. I was worried that you would make a wasted trip."
Why does Xu Yao want to know that Gu Jun is on a business trip?
Zheng Weiler's words seemed caring at first, but upon closer inspection, they had a different meaning. Xu Yao immediately lost the desire to continue the small talk.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Zheng."
After saying this, Xu Yao lowered her head and played with her phone.
Zheng Weiler's eyes flashed with contempt: It takes three generations to raise a nobleman. Although the Xu family had some money in the past, they had no foundation. No wonder they went bankrupt.
Zheng Weiler walked past Xu Yao.
Before going upstairs, Zheng Weier couldn't help but ask the front desk: "Do you know who Miss Xu is looking for?"
The front desk said they didn't know.
Zheng Weier was surprised: "We don't even know who she's visiting, but they allow her to sit in the lounge? The company has public welfare programs and even more rules and regulations. Does this comply with reception regulations?"
Zheng Weiler means that we cannot just ignore Xu Yao because she is a well-known internet celebrity. We should find whoever we want and register as needed, and follow the procedures!
"It was our negligence in our work."
The receptionist blushed and was about to register Xu Yao, but Jiang Zhiyan strode over and the receptionist stopped and didn't move.
Zheng Weiler was about to say hello to Jiang Zhiyan, but Jiang Zhiyan didn't even see her and walked straight towards Xu Yao.
"Oh, did I keep you waiting for a long time?"
Jiang Zhiyan had a light sweat on his forehead and explained to Xu Yao, "There's a traffic jam on the road!"
Jiang Zhiyan glanced at the painting Xu Yao placed next to him and asked in a low voice, "Tangtang, don't you want to accept it?"
Xu Yao resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "Boss Jiang, this is something worth tens of millions. You can just throw it away. How can Tangtang just take it?"
Jiang Zhiyan said embarrassedly: "I didn't think too much about it, I just thought this painting was very good, maybe Tangtang would like it..."
Xu Yao's temples were throbbing.
"Boss Jiang is still so impulsive. You said you wanted to be a live-in son-in-law, but it was just a whim, right?"
Jiang Zhiyan's expression darkened. "I'm serious. The Jiang family and I have made it clear. From now on, I will not care about their affairs, and they should not care about mine. My grandmother kicked me out of the house in anger. Now I'm a homeless wanderer. I want a home..."
Jiang Zhiyan spoke pitifully.
Xu Yao and Tangtang have a good relationship. If Xu Yao feels sorry for him and says a few good words for him in front of Tangtang, it will be more effective than him doing a lot of trouble himself!
Xu Yao was skeptical: "How could you not care about the Jiang family?"
Xu Yao had only seen wealthy young masters who had left their families in novels throughout her life, but there was no such person in reality!
Jiang Zhiyan nodded: "Next time I go back to the Jiang family, I will only attend the old lady's funeral."
These words were harsh enough that it was hard for Xu Yao not to believe them.
The two spoke quietly, and outsiders had no idea what they were talking about. They only felt that Xu Yao and Jiang Zhiyan looked very familiar.
The receptionist was glad that she didn't move fast enough.
"It seems that the person Miss Xu is looking for is Mr. Jiang."
The receptionist noticed out of the corner of her eye that Zheng Weiler's face looked unhappy.
I heard that Miss Zheng gave up her job in the family business and came to Huahu just to keep a close eye on President Gu and President Jiang... There is no smoke without fire, and the front desk felt that this rumor had some credibility.
But this has nothing to do with the front desk clerk. The gossip about the big shots in the company can be talked about in private. How can a small receptionist have the qualifications to take sides?
