The following morning, Annie's grandfather, Jin Huaizhao, arrived in Beijing.
Jin Huaizhao has a pair of lake-blue eyes, a full head of black hair that is neatly combed, and a tall and strong physique that doesn't show any signs of age.
He sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He had left this land when he was very young, and his vague memories did not match the city he knew today.
Annie was waiting at the hotel entrance early. "Grandpa..."
Jin Huaizhao nodded and led his men to the room first.
"Let the old man come over for the transaction," Jin Huaizhao said wearily, rubbing his temples.
Anne... "Grandpa, the old man told me to go see him again at noon and arrange a meeting place."
Jin Huaizhao frowned. "You didn't get the old man's contact information?"
On their first meeting, the old man infuriated Annie so much that she forgot to ask for his contact information.
After the transaction was completed yesterday, the old man left without even looking at the money, so naturally there was no chance for him to do so.
“The old man was very cautious and didn’t want to leave his contact information,” Annie said, not wanting her grandfather to think it was her mistake.
Jin Huaizhao nodded, understanding the old man's caution. "The Five Oxen Painting is a national treasure; we must acquire it no matter what!"
After saying that, he made a phone call and arranged for two experts from the port city to come over and authenticate the Five Oxen painting with him.
"Did you get that private seal?" Jin Huaizhao asked after hanging up the phone.
Anne shook her head. "That man said he didn't, but I don't think he intends to make a move."
"Then forget it. You did a good job this time. I'll give it to you when we get back." Jin Huaizhao said nonchalantly. He was very satisfied with getting the Five Oxen Painting. He couldn't stay in the country for long. He could talk about the private seal later.
Annie was very happy to get what she wanted, and she didn't want to deal with a shameless person like Li Xing'an.
Jin Huaizhao was very tired and went to rest first. Annie went to the agreed place early to wait for the old man.
At this moment, Old Man Guan and Guan Yi were whispering to each other at home.
Guan Yi: "Brother, what should we do with that money?"
The actor playing the old man is Guan Yi. Guan Yi loved opera when he was young and often dressed up in costumes, so he has some makeup skills.
He was wearing height-increasing shoes, and all the exposed skin was painted black and red. His eyebrows and beard were fake, his hair was fake, and the wrinkles on his face were stretched out. He was so convincing that you wouldn't recognize him if you walked past him.
"Give One-Eye a thousand, and you can have the rest. I have no use for the money," Old Man Guan said nonchalantly.
Guan Yi... he seems so wealthy and powerful.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, I'll accept them all."
"You deserve it." Old Man Guan originally wanted someone else to go, but Guan Yi volunteered. There was no reason to let someone else have such a good opportunity that was delivered to their door.
"They've been away for so many years and they're still rich. They're really generous with their money. What about the Five Oxen Painting?" Guan Yi chuckled, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.
Old Man Guan: "Yesterday, I could fool the young ones with that Five Oxen picture, but not the old ones. I didn't expect to lure that old geezer back. The one-eyed one still needs some work done; it'll take another two days."
Guan Yi, with dead fish eyes, said, "Brother, don't play dumb with me. You just want to lure the old man out by having me take that map."
Old Man Guan chuckled, "He took so much from our ancestor, and I'm letting him go after he only gave up this little bit. Otherwise, our ancestor won't blame me for being too kind."
