Xia Tian smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Qiu, you are really smart. You guessed it all."
"Really...really was it a gift from your father's comrade? Then why did they give you such a precious gift this time? Did your father save his life as well?"
Although he already had a guess in his mind, Qiu Liming was still surprised to hear Xia Tian admit it.
Where does this guy come from? Is he really just a kid from an ordinary family?
Why are all his father's comrades-in-arms so awesome?
Xia Tian smiled and nodded: "Uncle Qiu guessed right, my dad and his comrade-in-arms also have a life-and-death friendship."
Zhao Zhizhou looked at Xia Tian with a strange look in his eyes: "Xiao Xia, what branch of the military was your father in? Was he a medic?"
Xia Tian denied it, "Master Zhao misunderstood. My father was just an ordinary scout, not a medic."
Qiu Liming asked doubtfully, "When your father saved people back then, did he pick and choose who he saved? Why are all the people he saved so awesome?"
Xia Tian explained with a smile: "No, my father didn't think about these things when he saved people. Besides, these uncles only made their fortunes slowly after retiring."
Mother Qiu asked curiously, "Xiao Xia, who is this elder who gave you the jewelry? I've never heard of anyone in Hangzhou who could come up with such a set of imperial green jadeite jewelry."
Hearing what Mother Qiu said, Zhao Zhizhou seemed to recall something and said in surprise, "If I remember correctly, there seems to be only one set of this kind of imperial green jewelry in the whole of Daxia. And the owner of this set of jewelry happens to be in Hangzhou. Xiaoxia, could it be that this set of jewelry of yours..."
Before he could finish his words, Xia Tian nodded and admitted: "Yes, this set of jewelry was given to me by Uncle Wang."
Qiu Liming, who was waiting to hear the result, was suddenly interrupted by Xia Tian and did not hear the name of the original owner of the jewelry.
At this moment, he asked anxiously, "What Uncle Wang? There are so many people with the surname Wang in Hangzhou. Who is this Uncle Wang you are talking about?"
Seeing her father's anxious look, Qiu Mengyun smiled and said, "Hehe, Dad, you actually know this person. The Uncle Wang that Xia Tian mentioned is none other than Wang Tianfeng, the owner of Jiangnan Auction House."
"What? It's Wang Tianfeng from Jiangnan Auction House? Mengyun, are you kidding me? You have to know that although Jiangnan Auction House is headquartered in Hangzhou, its influence and financial resources are no longer limited to Hangzhou. It can be said that Wang Tianfeng is a well-known figure in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Are you sure that this set of jewelry was given by him? Is he Xiaoxia's father's comrade-in-arms?"
Qiu Liming was really shocked when he heard his daughter's words.
You have to know that Jiangnan Auction House is very different from Wangyuanzhai. Although both are chain businesses, Jiangnan Auction House is much more famous and influential than Wangyuanzhai. Most importantly, Jiangnan Auction House is said to have a strong background and close ties with many political and business leaders.
Although his Mingya Group seems to have a market value similar to that of Jiangnan Auction House, the status and influence between the two are far apart.
Seeing that her father actually questioned her words, Qiu Mengyun said dissatisfiedly: "Huh! Can a daughter like me really lie to my own father? I accompanied Xia Tian to the Jiangnan Auction House at that time, and this set of jewelry was handed to me by Uncle Wang Tianfeng himself."
"Besides, he recognized me at that time and asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."
It was true that she had personally accompanied Xia Tian, and it was also true that the other party recognized her. However, the last sentence, "hello to her father," was something she had made up to cheer him up.
Zhao Zhizhou also nodded in agreement, "That's right. There is only one set of imperial green jewelry like this in the whole of Daxia, and that set is in Wang Tianfeng's hands."
"Hahaha! Great, great! I never thought that my cheap son-in-law is actually the son of Wang Tianfeng's sworn brother."
"Xiao Xia, please give your uncle Wang a shout-out for me later. Tell him I'll treat him to a meal when I have time."
Upon learning that Xia Tian really had a close relationship with Wang Tianfeng, Qiu Liming was so happy that his mouth stretched from ear to ear.
He didn't care how much Wang Tianfeng was worth. He was not short of money anyway, and no matter how rich the other party was, he would not leave it all to Xia Tian.
What he values are the resources and connections behind Wang Tianfeng. When the business reaches their level, the importance of connections and resources becomes increasingly evident.
The reason why their Mingya Group has been able to develop to its current scale is all thanks to the face of his old man.
But in recent years, the old man's influence has gradually weakened.
However, they were unwilling to let Qiu Mengyun marry into the Su family for the sake of business.
This resulted in the Su family's business being confined to the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions, unable to expand nationwide.
With Wang Tianfeng's help, not only will the Qiu family's business be able to reach greater heights, but there is also hope that the issue of the broken engagement can be resolved peacefully.
Looking at Qiu Liming who was laughing heartily, Zhao Zhizhou felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
Why? How could Qiu Liming be so lucky to find such a perfect son-in-law?
No, he had to go back quickly and follow the example of Qiu Liming and his wife to urge his granddaughter to get married.
Maybe, after a while, his granddaughter will be able to bring back a grandson-in-law who is no worse than Xia Tian.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhizhou no longer had the desire to eat for free. He stood up and said goodbye, "Okay, I've had my tea. I won't disturb you all today since you're all having a family reunion."
Qiu Liming was still brooding over the fact that Zhao Zhizhou had asked Xia Tian to give him the painting and introduce his granddaughter to Xia Tian.
