Chapter 253 The Prodigal Son’s Daughter 52
Zhang Xiaojia was talking about the New Year, but she didn't expect that she would be called to her uncle's office. She saw her uncle handed her a document, and he said coldly that she did nothing every day and didn't even go to school for her father. Her father was still working and got a commission of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan every month, but she was the only one who was eating for free.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at Zhang Jiaqing with a look of grievance, blinking her big eyes and asked, "Uncle, am I still your favorite little boy? I got all 90 points on the exam this time!"
However, Zhang Jiaqing responded coldly and ruthlessly: "You have offended that bastard Feng Mingxiu, how dare he cut me off! I am very busy now, so you should be responsible for arranging the New Year's affairs this year. After all, this is your father's wedding, it is more appropriate for you to handle it." With that, Zhang Jiaqing turned around and prepared to leave.
Zhang Xiaojia quickly reached out and stopped Zhang Jiaqing, saying anxiously, "Uncle, there's no problem with holding the wedding, but where's the money?"
Zhang Jiaqing was instantly furious and sneered, "Where are your dividends for the second half of the year? Nearly $100 million in dividends? Did you squander them all?"
Zhang Xiaojia lowered his head helplessly and replied pitifully, "My eldest brother took most of it and only gave me one tenth. And I gave half of it to my father. My eldest brother said he would give it back to me in two years."
Hearing this, Zhang Jiaqing couldn't help but sneer. He said sarcastically, "You actually supported him in entering the F1 racing world. How foolish! I've carefully calculated that if he uses the dividends, the newcomer dividends, and the profits from the pharmaceutical factory as he does, you won't see a penny again in five years!" With that, Zhang Jiaqing stormed off, leaving Zhang Xiaojia standing there in a daze. She had been deceived by her big brother...
Zhang Xiaojia rushed to Zhang Group angrily. On the top floor, he saw Zhang Xiaoke showing off that his team won first place.
Forget it! Big brother finally has something he likes.
We arrived at the village on the fifth ring road, a piece of land in the suburbs. The ticket office was right at the door, and its simplicity was unimaginable.
There is not only a museum here, but also an imitation royal garden.
This is all her family's land. Looking at the gate, as soon as you go in, you can see the antique buildings and see your father restoring his garden with a group of history students.
Zhang Xiaojia looked out, wondering when He Fei's robot would show up. Uncle said he wouldn't pay for the museum, and he wouldn't allow his father or eldest brother to pay either. She was in charge of everything. It would take a lot of people to clean up here!
The museum is on the third floor, on the west side of the garden. It doesn’t cover a large area, not even as big as the figurine and gift area next door.
The first floor is the Porcelain Museum, Home Furnishing Museum, and Purple Clay Teapot Museum; the second floor is the Home Furnishing Museum and Antique Jewelry Museum; the third floor is the Painting and Calligraphy Museum;
The most attractive part is the calligraphy and painting gallery on the third floor. The calligraphy and paintings collected here are all treasures. It is because of these calligraphy and paintings that the museum has not been completed yet and the security level must be the highest.
The antique jewelry on the second floor is combined with technology to bring in the new holograms. You can walk in in person, or sit down and wear a helmet to enter holographically. In the hologram, you can wear these jewelry at will. This is the biggest feature.
The Home Furnishings Museum adopts an open exhibition style without glass and fences, minimizing the distance between visitors and the collections. Bringing anything in is prohibited, and children under the age of twelve are also prohibited from entering, for fear of naughty children.
The building next door is much larger than this museum, with 4 floors.
There are no cashiers, it's all automated.
The first floor is the four treasures of the study and accessories. Zhang Xiaojia looked at the price and was reluctant to buy them unless he was an enthusiast. They were all fine products.
The inkstone is the most important of the four treasures, namely, the brush, ink, paper and inkstone. They are all made of natural stone or clay. There are Tao inkstone, Duan inkstone, She inkstone and Chengni inkstone. A good inkstone is one that will hold the ink even after grinding. Most inks are pine soot inks. There are also various types of high-quality paper. As for the brushes, Anhui and Huzhou are very famous for their brushes.
There are many accessories here, such as rulers, pen holders, etc.
The second floor is full of 1:5 ratio imitation ceramics and jade jewelry, all of which are not expensive.
On the third floor, Zhang Xiaojia looked at the scene before her and felt speechless. This shop was a car model shop jointly run by her eldest brother, He Fei, and her younger brother.
Walking into the store, she was captivated by the exquisite miniature cars on display. These models were incredibly lifelike, their details showcasing the craftsmanship of their makers. However, when she saw the price tags on each model car, she was so shocked that she almost rolled over on the floor. Her parents wouldn't buy them.
Zhang Xiaojia knew that these model cars were indeed very exquisite, but for ordinary families, they were too expensive. Perhaps only those with a special passion for car models or those with better financial conditions would be willing to spend such a high price to own them.
There is a teahouse, Chinese dim sum and restaurant on the fourth floor.
At the easternmost edge of the garden stands a magnificent inn. This unique inn, formed from a series of smaller courtyards, is a striking sight. Upon entering, the first thing that strikes you is a spacious and quaint lobby. In a corner, a discreet reception desk stands, easily missed if you're not paying close attention.
The lobby is permeated with a rich classical atmosphere and unique architectural style, transporting you back to ancient times. A closer look reveals exquisite carvings on the walls and ceiling. These meticulous and lifelike carvings showcase the superb skills and ingenuity of the master craftsmen who created these antique pieces.
Standing in the center of the lobby, she couldn't help but be shocked by the beautiful scenery before her. Everything here was so beautiful and peaceful, making people yearn for it.
"How about it?"
Zhang Xiaojia turned around, looked at Chen Yubai with shining eyes, and said excitedly: "Uncle Yubai, this is so beautiful! You are simply a genius!" As she spoke, she admired the surrounding environment, her eyes full of admiration.
Chen Yubai smiled and replied, "Well, this place is not bad." He looked at the bright smile on Zhang Xiaojia's face and his mood became cheerful. He turned to the person next to him and said, "From now on, wedding banquets for Chen's private cuisine will be held here."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaojia's smile became even brighter, and she quickly thanked Chen Yubai: "Thank you, Uncle Yubai, for the meal!"
Chen Yubai patted Zhang Xiaojia's head gently and said jokingly, "You are such a generous girl. Aren't you afraid that I will turn this place into the Chen family's property?" He deliberately teased her to see how she would react.
Zhang Xiaojia was not frightened. Instead, she answered frankly: "Uncle Yubai, I know it very well! I know exactly how much money I put out. Just for this lobby, there are probably not many in the country that are completely hand-carved by master craftsmen. This is not just a problem that can be solved with money. Many carvings have been completed after more than ten years of renovation. Whether it is time or craftsmanship, you said that this place should be named Chen, so it will be named Chen." Her tone was firm and confident, and she did not feel worried about the possibility of losing ownership.
