Chapter 556: Cheng Xuyuan has nothing to do with our family
In the Fang family, there is Fang Yuning, a person who likes weird things.
But she usually showed this kind of weird attitude towards her younger sister Fang Yuqing or Fang Yuanfeng.
But he never said it to Cheng Xuyuan.
As for Qin Wenhui, he did not receive such treatment.
When Cheng Xuyuan heard the familiar words, he looked carefully and saw Meng Dezhi sitting in the living room of Fang's house, drinking tea leisurely.
Seeing Meng Dezhi, Cheng Xuyuan walked over with a smile and said, "Hello, uncle."
"How come you have time to have tea with Uncle Fang today?"
Meng Dezhi snorted and said, "If it wasn't for your matter, I wouldn't have put down what I was doing and come over here."
At this point, he looked at Cheng Xuyuan coldly and said, "Do you have money to support yourself?"
"It would be fine if he just bought a car, but now he wants to buy paintings from the service department, and he just bought all the paintings for them without hesitation."
“You’re awesome!”
"You know, the most popular person right now is you."
At this point, Meng Dezhi slapped the table and said, "Can't you be more low-key?"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Meng Dezhi, who was extremely angry, and felt helpless.
Meng Fanjin, who was sitting next to him, felt sorry for her son-in-law after all. She smiled and said, "Brother, calm down."
"Xuyuan sometimes acts a little rashly."
"But he definitely had his own agenda."
Having said that, he looked at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, quickly explain this to your uncle."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at the angry Meng Dezhi and said quickly: "Uncle, don't be angry, I just made some money recently, this..."
Meng Dezhi's eyes suddenly widened, and that look made Cheng Xuyuan a little scared.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was a little scared, Fang Yuanfeng said, "Uncle, Xuyuan wants to make some contribution because he has earned more money."
“It wasn’t appropriate for him to donate money directly, so he just bought the paintings.”
"After all, those paintings aren't very easy to sell."
Hearing the excuse Fang Yuanfeng gave for himself, Cheng Xuyuan felt a surge of emotion.
The way my brother-in-law thinks is really unmatched by ordinary people, but you think too highly of me. This is really not the reason.
It's really that the prices of these things have increased too much.
The increase is ten thousand times!
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about it, he heard Meng Dezhi say: "Xuyuan, if you think so, you have good intentions."
“But it’s really a bit reckless to do so.”
"Won't this let everyone know that you are rich?"
"You know what? Many people are jealous of you when they mention you now."
“There are even some people who say weird things.”
"You have achieved such a reputation at such a young age. People are jealous!"
Cheng Xuyuan naturally knew that his current situation made some people with jealousy jealous.
But he is not afraid. After all, he is no longer a small figure. With his works selling well, his influence is not small.
And it is well-known.
So he smiled and said, "Uncle, if those people are jealous, let them be jealous. I don't care."
"Besides, they can't do anything to me."
"My money is all earned in foreign exchange. If they have the ability, let them earn it themselves!"
Cheng Xuyuan said this very firmly.
After all, there is a severe shortage of foreign exchange in all aspects now.
Factories that can earn foreign exchange are treated like treasures.
Cheng Xuyuan is just one person, but he can earn more foreign exchange than ordinary large factories. He is a protected talent.
What's more, Cheng Xuyuan knew the future development trend. People like him would be treated as treasures in the future, and there would be no major crisis at all.
Fang Yuqing stood behind Cheng Xuyuan and said angrily, "Uncle, those who are jealous of Xuyuan are just sour grapes."
"Don't be polite to people like this."
Meng Dezhi felt helpless when he saw Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing who looked indifferent.
If it was anyone else, he wouldn't care.
But Cheng Xuyuan is the junior he values most, and Fang Yuqing is his most beloved niece.
He couldn't just ignore these two people.
"Xuyuan, you should be low-key." Meng Dezhi said patiently, "Although many people can't do anything to you with your current achievements, it's not good for you to be so high-profile."
"Listen to me, don't buy those things."
"It was just a joke."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Meng Dezhi, who looked serious, and said after a moment of hesitation, "Uncle, I really didn't buy those paintings to show off."
"It's those paintings. They will be really valuable in the future."
"Yuqing and I may not need these paintings."
"But when Yuqing and I's children grow up, any random painting can make their lives very good."
“The value of those paintings was ten thousand times what it is now.”
Fang Gengsheng had been listening quietly to the conversation between Meng Dezhi and Cheng Xuyuan without saying much.
But at this moment, when he heard Cheng Xuyuan's words, he was stunned.
Ten thousand times!
How much does this cost!
In fact, what Cheng Xuyuan said was an understatement. Some of them were hundreds of thousands of times more.
After all, some paintings now only cost a few dollars, but in a few years, these paintings will be able to sell for hundreds of thousands or even millions.
Some fine products can even be sold for tens of millions.
"Xuyuan, are you telling the truth?" Fang Gengsheng asked.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Uncle Fang, I studied history. From a historical perspective, it seems that there is nothing wrong with collecting antiques during prosperous times."
"You will never go wrong if you listen to me."
Meng Dezhi originally thought that Cheng Xuyuan bought the paintings because he had a lot of money, so he wanted to donate some of it in this way.
After all, those paintings cannot be eaten or drunk.
But I didn't expect that he would have such thoughts.
If the value increases ten thousand times, then...
"Xuyuan, are you sure it will go up?" Meng Dezhi asked, still a little worried.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Uncle, I will be more and more open in the future."
"I heard that the first private restaurant in Yanjing is about to open."
“And this is just the beginning.”
Meng Dezhi looked at Cheng Xuyuan, all kinds of thoughts surging in his mind. Although he still had some doubts at this time, his trust in Cheng Xuyuan increased a little more.
"Xuyuan, even if the price will increase in the future, you're making too much noise." Meng Fanjin said, "Now many people know that you are rich and powerful and want to buy nine thousand paintings."
"You, can't you be quieter?"
In response to his future mother-in-law's concern and reproach, Cheng Xuyuan said sincerely: "I will definitely pay attention in the future. I think this opportunity to make a fortune is too difficult."
Meng Fanjin said: "You, don't mention getting rich in the future."
"You already have a lot of money."
At this point, she glanced at Fang Gengsheng and said, "I heard your car is coming soon."
"You can drive, but you must remember to be safe."
When Cheng Xuyuan heard that his car was coming soon, he felt delighted.
Although he doesn't have much preference for cars, with this car, he doesn't have to worry about anything, whether it's summer or winter.
This is a great thing.
What Meng Dezhi said was absolutely correct. Quite a few people knew about Cheng Xuyuan's big move.
For example, in the Shen family, Li Yufei, who had just returned from the East China Sea, heard her eldest brother Shen Yushu mention this matter as soon as she arrived home.
Because Cheng Xuyuan has contributed to his position, Shen Yushu has always been very grateful to Cheng Xuyuan.
However, at this time, when he talked about this matter, he also felt that Cheng Xuyuan was a bit too high-profile.
There are more than 9,000 pieces of calligraphy and paintings. Although there are no top collections like Along the River During the Qingming Festival, and most of the authors are living calligraphers and painters, the number is really too large.
Just buy it if you want, why buy so much at once?
Isn't this going to give people something to blame? When Li Yufei heard the news, she curled her lips and said, "Does this guy have a lot of money to burn? Why...why did he buy more than 9,000 pieces of calligraphy and paintings?"
"Even if his house is big enough, it can't accommodate this amount of calligraphy and paintings."
"He's crazy!"
After hearing Li Yufei's complaints, Shen Yulin said, "I heard that a movie made from one of Cheng Xuyuan's works made a lot of money in the United States."
"And he also bought a car through connections."
"In the future, when he goes to Yenching University, he will probably have to drive there."
When Shen Yunliang heard this, he put the teacup in his hand on the table and said, "This kid has too much money to burn."
"If you make money, you should be more low-key, but he is the opposite. It seems that he is afraid that others will not be jealous of him."
"He's making things difficult for himself!"
"snort!"
Hearing her husband's words, Li Yufei's mother Li Xueling frowned and said, "Yunliang, your heart is not in good condition. The doctor told you to be less angry."
"What's more, Cheng Xuyuan and Yu Mo are already divorced."
"He has nothing to do with our family now."
"If you have the time to spare, you might as well pay more attention to Yu Mo and see when she can come back."
Hearing what his wife said, Shen Yunliang felt helpless.
Does he have nothing to do with us anymore?
He helped you and gave you a grandson!
Shen Yunliang thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. He could only explain: "I just think he is a little too arrogant."
"Although he and Yu Mo are divorced, he has come to our house before after all."
Li Xueling snorted and said, "Okay, stop worrying about other people's affairs."
"Yu Mo, does your sister really not have anyone pursuing her?"
“Isn’t this right?”
"After all, your sister is both beautiful and knowledgeable, and she's also a full-time writer."
"Why is no one chasing me?"
Li Yufei curled her lips and glanced at her father and second brother, thinking, "Don't you know about this kind of thing?" But her father's expression remained unchanged, and her second brother lowered his head, so she could only answer.
"Mom, my sister doesn't look kindly to those who pursue her, so naturally they become cold-hearted."
At this point, she hesitated and said, "Besides, my sister is not from the East China Sea, so she doesn't have many acquaintances."
She said this, but she secretly thought, "How can a mother with a baby find a partner?"
"And the file still says he's married."
"Who can introduce me to someone?"
Li Xueling naturally didn't know about Li Yufei's criticism. What she was most worried about now was Li Yufei's situation, so she couldn't help but say to herself: "I'm going to call Yufei's aunt later and ask her to worry about this matter."
"She is such a fool. I asked her to introduce someone to Yu Mo, but she didn't respond for such a long time."
When Li Yufei heard this, she felt sorry for her aunt.
Shen Yumo goes to my aunt's house very rarely, so how can I introduce her to someone?
But at this time, she could only pretend to be confused.
Shen Yunliang coughed and said, "Alright, let's talk about Yu Mo's matter later."
"Let's eat."
At this point, he turned to Shen Yulin and said, "Yulin, come with me to do something later."
Shen Yulin was stunned for a moment, then he knew that his father was going to tell him about Cheng Xuyuan.
He could only nod in agreement.
There were all kinds of discussions about Cheng Xuyuan's purchase of 9,000 pieces of calligraphy and paintings.
Some said that he really had a lot of money but had no place to spend it, while others said that he was deliberately looking for an excuse to take out his own money.
However, Cheng Xuyuan did not care about these discussions. After breakfast the next morning, he and Fang Yuqing went to the Foreign Guest Service Department again.
Of course, Si Diwen was also there.
Director Ma, who received Cheng Xuyuan yesterday, showed a hint of smile when he saw Cheng Xuyuan coming.
Yesterday, when Cheng Xuyuan decided to buy all these calligraphy and paintings, he didn't dare to make a decision and reported to his superiors.
He just received news at work today that since these things were supposed to be sold, Cheng Xuyuan should buy them according to the price, so he should follow the rules.
"Mr. Cheng, we have already counted the words you want to buy. Here is the booklet." After a simple greeting, Director Ma took out a thick notebook.
The notebook is densely filled with information about the basic details of each painting.
For example, how many square feet, who is the author, how much is the price, etc...
Cheng Xuyuan felt a little confused after just taking a look.
After all, there are more than 9,000 pieces, and it would take more than an hour just to look through them all.
He handed the booklet to Fang Yuqing, then said with a smile, "Director Ma, I trust you."
"Just tell me a total so I can go back and prepare the money."
Director Ma smacked his lips, feeling that this young man was really rich.
"We calculated that the total cost is more than 69,000 yuan. The figure is on the back of the booklet I just gave you."
"As long as you bring the money, we will send someone to deliver the paintings to you."
"Just tell me where you want to send it to first."
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go prepare the money first."
Although this was a matter of exchanging money for goods, it still took Cheng Xuyuan more than a week to complete the task.
Buying these paintings was just the beginning for Cheng Xuyuan, he also wanted to preserve them.
Cheng Xuyuan is a complete novice when it comes to these things.
Fortunately, Meng Dezhi found an expert for him. With the help of the expert, Cheng Xuyuan set up three rooms in the staff quarters next to the Yanjing Writers Association as warehouses, and was able to properly store the paintings.
Of course, preparations have been made in advance to prevent moisture and moth.
Before they finished their work, it was time to go back to school again. Cheng Xuyuan and his classmates had officially entered the second semester of their third year.
When school starts, whether it is Yenching University or other universities, it is very lively.
New students carrying all kinds of luggage kept getting off the school bus.
Of course, there are also old students who come from their hometowns and take the school bus that picks up new students from the train station.
Lin Haisheng, a short man, got off the car carrying his small luggage. He was a student last year and was naturally familiar with the school.
Walking on the path on campus, he felt inexplicably relaxed.
Compared to home, he feels more relaxed at school.
However, he didn't want to join the crowd, so he strolled to the small path beside the campus.
As he was walking and thinking about a book he had read, he suddenly looked up and saw a black car driving towards him.
Compared with the cars he had seen before, this black car seemed more beautiful, and the paint also looked very new.
When Lin Haisheng saw the car, he wondered if there was another car in the school.
Just when he was in doubt, the car stopped gently, and then he saw two people walking out.
He knew both of these people.
One is Cheng Xuyuan, the most famous student in the school, also known as Xu Lingyun, whose literary talent is admired by countless people.
The other one is Fang Yuqing, who is known as one of the school beauties.
The love between the two is also the envy of many classmates.
It was normal for the two of them to be together, but when Cheng Xuyuan got out of the driver's seat, the car...
Just when Lin Haisheng was doubtful, Cheng Xuyuan also saw Lin Haisheng.
He smiled at Lin Haisheng, then he and Fang Yuqing walked towards another path leading to the library.
Seeing this situation, Lin Haisheng was stunned and couldn't help but look at the car a few times.
Half an hour later, Lin Haisheng returned to his dormitory.
After he greeted a classmate whom he hadn't seen much in the semester, he couldn't help but say, "I ran into Cheng Xuyuan today."
"He was driving a black sedan. It was quite a nice car. I don't know where he borrowed it from."
Hearing this, a roommate who was reading a book said, "Haisheng, you went back to your hometown, so you don't know the two most famous things that happened here in the past two months."
"Both of these things are related to Cheng Xuyuan."
Hearing this, Lin Haisheng couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"
"The first thing is that the movie adapted from Cheng Xuyuan's work was a big hit at the U.S. box office."
At this point, the student continued, "The second thing is that Cheng Xuyuan used the money he earned from the United States to buy nine thousand paintings in one go."
"I heard that these paintings are worth nearly 100,000 yuan!"
When he heard the number 100,000 yuan, Lin Haisheng took a deep breath.
He touched his pocket, which contained only a hundred yuan for living expenses, and really didn't know what to say.
Just as he was secretly sighing in his heart, he heard the classmate continue: "As for the car, Cheng Xuyuan bought it with the money he earned from the movie."
"It's just that he usually comes to school from the small road and rarely takes the main road."
“So not many students know about it.”
Lin Haisheng was stunned for a moment and said, "You said that the car is his own?"
"That's right." The classmate said, "I heard that this car has air conditioning, which keeps it warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It's very comfortable to sit in."
Lin Haisheng didn't care about this feeling.
There was only one thing in his mind at this moment: although they were both students, the gap between him and Cheng Xuyuan was really huge!
