"I exchanged contact information with him and invited him to visit the Zhao family. If he doesn't come on his own initiative in the next two days, I will invite him again."
When Zhao Tiannan saw that Zhao Zhixu had taken the bait, he said with a smile.
Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Zhao Tiannan's sons are all married, but his youngest daughter, Zhao Zhixu, is still unengaged. In addition, Zhao Zhixu is 25 years old, so Zhao Tiannan, the old father, seems a little worried.
Zhao Tiannan was stunned for a moment, then he stood up and walked towards the study, saying, "Zhixu, I got a painting these two days, and I'll give it to you."
Soon, he walked out of the study with the picture of the fairy chicken.
Zhao Zhixu took the fairy chicken picture and her eyes lit up immediately. She said in surprise:
"Is this Master Wuming's new work? The style is exactly the same as Master Wuming's, and the techniques used in various places are even more refined than those in his previous paintings!"
"Painting a crane like a fat chicken—perhaps only the nameless master would do this. While others see the crane's feathers as a symbol of good fortune, in the eyes of the nameless master, they are merely food to fill his stomach."
Zhao Zhixu held the painting and couldn't let it go. He looked at it carefully for a while, then turned back to his room and framed it.
After seeing this painting, she finally understood that the picture of the sword fairy did not depict chicken legs, but fairy feather legs!
"Master, there's a man outside who calls himself Qin Yi and says you invited him here."
Just then, a security guard from the Zhao family came running to report.
Zhao Tiannan was sitting in the hall with a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that the father and daughter were carrying Qin Yi, and Qin Yi ordered them to visit.
He came to Zhao Zhixu's door, knocked, and said, "Zhixu, Qin Yi is here. You should dress up and make a good impression. I'll go to the door and let him in now."
Afterwards, he and the security guard went to the gate of the Zhao family to greet Qin Yi.
"What a coincidence! Then I'll meet Qin Yi and see why he is so highly regarded by my father."
In the room, Zhao Zhixu muttered to himself.
Not long after, Qin Yi walked into the gate of the Zhao family under the welcome of Zhao Tiannan. In the stunned eyes of the security guard, Zhao Tiannan said:
"Brother Qin, you didn't even tell me you were coming to visit me. I didn't even make any preparations. To make up for this mistake, I'll try to host a banquet for you next time!"
"I'm not a big shot, you're so polite, Brother Zhao." Qin Yi said with a smile, and the address changed accordingly.
"Ha, you're not calling me old man this time?" Zhao Tiannan asked deliberately, then changed the subject: "It's an honor to be called Brother Zhao by Master Wuming."
"Haha, it seems that Brother Zhao has recognized me, but I really can't bear the title of Nameless Master. There are always people better than you. I am still young and have many shortcomings in my painting skills." Qin Yi said modestly.
He painted, just like he read his collection of books, purely out of boredom. There was nothing to do in the mountains, and apart from practicing martial arts, he could only do these things to pass the time.
Therefore, Qin Yi felt somewhat guilty when he was called the name of the nameless master, because he was actually not good at painting.
"Alas, I can't be sure if there are people who are better than you. But the high prices your paintings fetch, Brother Qin, are based on market considerations. Don't underestimate yourself."
During the conversation, Zhao Tiannan led Qin Yi to the villa. Seeing Zhao Zhixu already sitting in the living room, he changed his words and said:
"Brother Qin, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Zhao Zhixu. She likes all kinds of paintings just like me, but she is much better than me. She is a member of the Linhai Art Association."
"Zhi Xu, this is Qin Yi, a very good and extraordinary man."
Qin Yi looked puzzled upon hearing Zhao Tiannan's introduction. What did "a very good and extraordinary man" mean? Did Zhao Tiannan not want to mention his identity as the Nameless Master in front of Zhao Zhixu?
When he thought that Zhao Zhixu was a member of the Art Association, he understood the intentions of Zhao Tiannan as an old father.
Zhao Tiannan glanced at Qin Yi, and seeing Qin Yi's thoughtful expression, his eyes were full of undisguised admiration. It was estimated that Qin Yi had guessed his thoughts. Such a quick-witted person, Zhao Tiannan liked him more and more the more he looked at him.
"Hello."
"Hello."
Qin Yi and Zhao Zhixu nodded, indicating that they knew each other.
Seeing the elegant and graceful Zhao Zhixu, Qin Yi was slightly stunned, but he quickly recovered. After all, he had seen many beautiful women recently.
Compared to Qin Yi's calmness, Zhao Zhixu was stunned on the spot. When watching Qin Yi's video, she just glanced at it casually and didn't care. Thinking about meeting him today, Qin Yi was so handsome that she was directly fascinated by him!
The two of them looked at each other for a while.
Cough cough——
Seeing this, Zhao Tiannan coughed lightly a few times. He had never seen Zhao Zhixu lose his composure like this before. It seemed like there was hope.
As for Qin Yi's attitude, Zhao Tiannan never considered it from beginning to end. It is always easy for a girl to win over a boy. What's more, Zhao Zhixu is a famous beauty in Linhai, not inferior to Bai Qiong.
"Ah... I... I was distracted just now. I'm so sorry." Zhao Zhixu's face turned red instantly, and she hurriedly explained awkwardly, but she didn't even believe her explanation and was at a loss for a moment.
"Brother Qin, my daughter Zhixu is well-educated and well-mannered. She is excellent in all aspects. The only thing that I am very dissatisfied with is that she is 25 years old this year and has never had a boyfriend. She almost never interacts with the opposite sex."
Zhao Tiannan quickly stepped forward to help Zhao Zhixu smooth things over, but the meaning of his words made Qin Yi and Zhao Zhixu feel strange.
Especially Qin Yi, he couldn't help but wonder what exactly did Old Zhao mean?
Did he want him to get close to Zhao Zhixu, or did he not want him to get close to Zhao Zhixu? Or did he just not want him to use his identity as the nameless master to get close to Zhao Zhixu?
Thinking of this, Qin Yiming understood. He thought to himself, "Old Zhao, I treat you as a brother, a friend regardless of age, and yet you want to be my father-in-law! Am I the kind of person who would attack someone younger than me?"
Zhao Zhixu's face turned even redder, and she lowered her voice: "Dad, what are you talking about!"
Ding-ling-ling——
At this moment, Zhao Tiannan's cell phone happened to ring. He picked up the call and his eyes changed when he looked at Qin Yi.
After saying a few words to the person on the phone, he hung up. Facing Qin Yi, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Brother Zhao, do you have something to tell me? Do you want to buy my work? I'd be happy to."
Qin Yi smiled slightly. He naturally heard the entire content of Zhao Tiannan's call.
Just now, the head of the Bai Group terminated part of the cooperation with the Zhao family.
Although the Zhao family is a giant in the coastal transportation industry, many companies are vying to cooperate with the Zhao family. Once the Bai family terminates the cooperation, the vacant transportation capacity will quickly be seized by other companies, and it will be difficult for the Bai family to cooperate again.
This matter was not a big deal for the Zhao family at all. It was mainly because Qin Yi and Bai Qiong appeared together yesterday. Zhao Tiannan was really conflicted about whether to tell them about this matter.
