Guan Feng patted Wang Yayue on the shoulder and comforted her, "These kinds of things are rare after all, so we should look forward."
Wang Yayue nodded and said, "I understand! But I'm just so angry, so this time I'll just lay out the facts straight out, without hiding anything. Anyone who wants to revise it can revise it, but I won't change a single word. Publish it or not, it's up to you!"
Guan Feng said, "You don't need to worry about this problem, Secretary Zhang..." and briefly explained the situation.
Wang Yayue asked, "I didn't receive any notification, how did you know?"
Huang Lili chuckled and said, "Sister, you don't know this, do you? The captain personally reported this case to Secretary Zhang. You have no idea what Secretary Zhang's face looked like last night when he heard the news. His face only improved after he heard that the captain was in charge. This morning, he even asked the captain to come to his office to report this case."
Wang Yayue asked in surprise, "Captain Guan, are you meeting with the Emperor? Why didn't you say anything? I was kept in the dark and was worried that my manuscript would be rejected."
Guan Feng laughed and said, "It's nothing serious, what's there to talk about?"
Wang Yayue said, "Isn't this a big deal? Secretary Zhang is the top leader of your Hongcheng District. It seems that Captain Guan's promotion is guaranteed. Just don't forget about me when you're about to make a triple jump."
When Guan Feng saw the "flexible and adaptable" Wang Yayue, he punished himself with three cups of tea and said, "Don't even mention a triple jump, even if it's a ten-meter diving platform, aren't you still my boss?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingxin laughed and said, "Alright, alright, you two stop showing off your love here."
Seeing this, Guan Feng said, "It's getting late, let's go! Tonight it's my treat, I'll treat you to a big meal. Seafood restaurant or Hua'an Restaurant? I just got paid, so please don't be shy."
Wang Yayue said, "Let's go to a seafood restaurant, it'll be cheaper."
Chen Qingxin laughed and said, "Look! You still say you're just ordinary friends? We haven't even done anything yet, and you're already starting to save money for Brother Guan. You're a millionaire with an annual salary, and you can't even afford a meal at Hua'an Restaurant? No way, Brother Guan has to treat us to Hua'an Restaurant tonight, Lily, don't you think?"
Huang Lili waved her hand and laughed, "Sister Qingxin, I won't get involved in your affairs! I'll just keep an eye on things. After all, you can eat and leave, but I'm still in the captain's hands."
Chen Qingxin laughed: "I almost forgot about that. Oh well, never mind then, seafood restaurant."
The group arrived at the seafood restaurant.
We enjoyed a delicious meal.
Guan Feng escorted Wang Yayue and Huang Lili home.
Huang's mother was worried because neither of her two daughters had come home for dinner and she didn't know where they had gone off to have fun.
As soon as he saw Guan Feng bring the two of them back, his face immediately switched to a smile, and he invited Guan Feng to come in and have a cup of tea.
Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "Auntie, no, I still have to investigate the case tomorrow, I need to get some rest tonight."
At this moment, Deputy Director Huang came out, looked at Guan Feng and asked, "Is it the extra corpse?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "That's right! The identity information comparison has been completed, but since the brothers all stayed up all night, I didn't let them stay up all night to investigate. We'll handle this case first thing tomorrow morning."
Deputy Director Huang nodded and said, "It's good to balance work and rest. Xiao Guan, don't just focus on investigating cases; take care of your health."
Guan Feng said, "Thank you for the reminder, Director Huang!"
Deputy Director Huang said, "We still have to investigate the case tomorrow. Since that's the case, I won't keep you any longer. Get some rest."
Huang's mother then said, "Xiao Guan, come visit us often next time."
Guan Feng nodded, said goodbye, and left.
Deputy Director Huang then took his daughter home.
He asked, "Tell me, what's going on with Chen Quan? I heard that Xiao Guan appraised a painting and calligraphy and directly identified one worth over 100 million?"
Wang Yayue asked, "Dad, you know about this? It was quite a coincidence, wasn't it?" She briefly explained the whole story, from how she initially asked Guan Feng for help, to how Guan Feng recognized the extraordinary nature of the painting, and finally, how the painting was confirmed to be an authentic work by Mr. Fan and Mr. Zhongshi, worth hundreds of millions.
Deputy Director Huang exclaimed, "Truly, one should never underestimate the arrogance of a young man! A casual appraisal can yield hundreds of millions; without real skill, how could he dare to defy public opinion like this?"
Wang Yayue nodded and said, "Yes, Guan Feng's demeanor back then was truly commanding. When Qingxin bought it, she didn't think there was any chance of a turnaround. She was only buying it out of consideration for her friend's feelings. But she never expected..."
Deputy Director Huang laughed and said, "If it weren't for that, how could we have attracted the attention of several big bosses?"
Wang Yayue asked, "Even the big boss has been alerted?"
Deputy Director Huang said, "What else? You know who Chen Quan is. He often dines with several bosses. This kind of topic is the best conversation starter after dinner. If someone else said it, they might think it's just hearsay. But who is Chen Quan? When he, the person involved, says it himself, everyone's perception will definitely be different."
“I heard that several bosses have calligraphy and paintings at home, and they are thinking of showing them to Guan Feng.”
Huang's mother laughed and said, "I knew this little Guan was capable! Look, he can just casually show someone a piece of calligraphy or painting and still find a price in the hundreds of millions. Ya Yue, why don't you seize this opportunity? If you dare to pick again, I'll break your legs."
Wang Yayue ignored Huang's mother's words and asked, "Dad, hasn't this caused quite a stir?"
Deputy Director Huang shook his head and said, "Although this time it stands out from the crowd, it's not a bad thing. With such a skill, which of those bosses wouldn't think twice? Aren't there quite a few leaders who appreciate elegance? This is a private matter!"
Wang Yayue laughed and said, "That's true! By the way, Dad, don't you have another painting or calligraphy? Why don't you call Guan Feng to take a look?"
Deputy Director Huang shook his head and said, "My painting is worth at most a few thousand yuan, how could it be considered presentable? But what about you, how far have things progressed with him?"
Wang Yayue blushed and shook her head, saying, "Just...just ordinary friends."
"Ordinary friends?"
Deputy Director Huang said irritably, "Why are you blushing when we're just friends?"
Wang Yayue: "???"
Huang Lili laughed from the side, "I know! I know! Dad, this morning my sister asked me to bring breakfast to Captain Guan. She made it herself. Captain Guan specially invited my sister to dinner tonight. If it weren't for the fact that I ran errands, he probably wouldn't have invited me to the dinner tonight."
"A breakfast you made yourself?"
Deputy Director Huang rubbed his head, a hint of jealousy in his voice, and asked his mother, "Have you tried the breakfast your daughter made? I certainly haven't."
Huang's mother patted the old man and said, "Why are you jealous of young people dating?"
