Chapter 99 Birthday Banquet
Although Xi Jun had a reluctance on his face and a resentful look in his eyes, he finally completed the deal with Chen Feng.
2.3 million for two paintings.
Such a price is actually not considered a loss for Xi Jun’s current worth.
After all, these two paintings are landscape paintings that he himself does not like to see very much. Especially the second painting, if Chen Feng hadn't dug it out from a pile of old paintings that he had to discard, it might really be worthless.
The reason why Xi Jun was reluctant was mainly because he felt that he had been fooled by Chen Feng's bargaining and the price was a bit cheap.
But he also knew that if he wanted to go back on his word, Chen Feng, a rare financial buyer, might really run away. In the past, when he was not short of money, he ran away. He was confident that his fame and worth would skyrocket in the future, and he would not have to worry about selling his works.
It’s just that he is in urgent need of money now. Although this price is a bit low, it is still within his acceptable range.
Of course Chen Feng feels that he has made a bit of money.
These are two magical paintings that brought gratifying changes to his body and mind.
Chen Feng didn't think that the work that brought him such a magical effect was just an ordinary thing. There was no doubt that it should be Xi Jun's true masterpiece.
It’s just that ordinary mortals, with their naked eyes, simply don’t know or can’t see what’s inside these two paintings, including the creator Xi Jun.
As the creator of these two paintings, Xi Jun himself did not pay special attention to them. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a “cheap sale”.
This is very interesting.
Of course, many people would also think that it was a foolish act for Chen Feng to spend so much money to buy these two paintings.
Only Chen Feng himself knew this.
Although the hospital seems to have confirmed that his terminal illness has not improved, but as the expert said, isn't there no deterioration?
Perhaps it is because of the contribution of the two previous paintings "Lanting Preface" and "Autumn Sky" that this is the case.
Otherwise, many people in the final stage of brain tumors will deteriorate rapidly, even suffer extreme pain, and even die.
Now Chen Feng can eat, sleep and play with women, and his body feels stronger than before.
You can't explain it scientifically.
Just like the previous lottery wins and luck, can it be explained scientifically? Obviously not.
And he can get a feeling similar to smoking some contraband from calligraphy and painting, and he can also strengthen his body without any side effects. Can this be explained by science? Neither can.
But it’s true.
So, even if there is only a slim chance, Chen Feng still wants to continue to collect works of art that can bring benefits to his body.
At least this way, it would not harm his body, and a miracle might happen in the future. His terminal illness was cured without treatment.
This is his current thoughts and hopes.
When people are alive, they always have some hope for the future, even if this hope is very slim.
Besides, in the long run, this is also a good investment project. It shouldn’t be a loss.
Chen Feng happily returned to Hongshu Bay with two paintings.
Originally, he wanted to take it to the East Lake Villa, but he felt there was no place to put it there.
And. The eggs are not put in the same basket, so I put them in the villa on Hongshu Bay instead.
When I came back, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, Xiao Ya didn't get off work.
Chen Feng placed the two paintings in two empty rooms on the second floor, both in closets.
Hsiao Ya is usually busy with work and usually doesn’t go to other empty houses.
As long as Chen Feng locked the door, she would not be able to go in.
There was still time before Lin Wan's birthday party in the evening, so Chen Feng stared at the "Beach" and soon fell into "meditation".
When he woke up and looked at the time, almost half an hour had passed.
Despite the psychological expectations, such a result is still somewhat disappointing.
However, this can also prove that the artistic skills of Xi Jun, a young painter, are actually no weaker than that of Song Yi, who lived in Europe.
However, the commercial value of the two works is very different.
So, if you take advantage of the opportunity to buy some of Xi Jun's works now, you will definitely be able to make a fortune in the future when his fame grows.
But Chen Feng is not very interested in this. The reason is very simple. Such speculation is not his original intention.
Besides, this kind of investment is long-term and may take several years. Chen Feng does not have that much patience.
More importantly, it is really easy for him to make money now.
If he wasn't afraid of attracting too much attention, he could easily win the jackpot by buying lottery tickets.
Besides, with his current European emperor's physique, it is easier and more convenient to make money by speculating in stocks than by investing in these works of art.
Chen Feng arrived at Fuman Building at almost six o'clock.
Although the reservation is for seven o'clock, it is Lin Wan's birthday party after all, and he is the one taking the lead. He must come in advance to confirm and negotiate.
Pay the deposit, let the restaurant decorate the private room in advance, and get a big birthday cake.
He doesn't have many friends now. Although Lin Wan has a lot of problems, he can still be regarded as one of his relatively close friends.
So, as a friend, he still attaches great importance to her birthday party.
Let’s do everything that needs to be done.
Fumanlou is a time-honored restaurant. It is of course common for people to hold birthday parties here, so it is relatively convenient and quick to just pay money and decorate the birthday atmosphere in the private room.
The restaurant has an outside team that specializes in this aspect of business.
With just one phone call, Chen Feng's reserved private room was decorated in advance. Within half an hour, birthday ribbons, balloons, blessing billboards, birthday banquet tablecloths, flowers, and other props were installed, including a person-high Teddy bear doll.
Chen Feng asked the other party to buy this doll on his behalf. The other party quoted a price of 2,000 yuan. Chen Feng did not counter-offer and added another 1,000 yuan to let the other party buy some other cute dolls that girls like.
The result is that they also bought dolls such as Hello Kitty, Doraemon, Yoo-hee Monkey, etc. The other party really paid attention to it. Every doll looks very cute and cute, and there is no one. It's just fake.
I don’t know if they are genuine, but they look good and the workmanship is acceptable. Girls generally like it.
The reason why he asked the other party to buy these as gifts was not because Chen Feng bought them randomly, but because he happened to hear Wu Mengting mention it before. Lin Wan liked dolls, and she had collected a lot of them herself, but they were all Small dolls. After all, when working outside, it’s hard to take large dolls with you.
This time Chen Feng helped her get such a big one, along with several other smaller ones, which was considered to be just what she wanted.
This team is indeed very professional and efficient. It only took half an hour to get the matter done. Chen Feng was very satisfied. Although he spent thousands of dollars on it, it was really worth it.
Not long after the private room was decorated, Lin Wan and four women came over. It's almost twenty minutes ahead of the agreed seven o'clock. It's just right.
When they entered the private room full of birthday party atmosphere, of course they were all a little surprised, and Lin Wan was even more surprised and moved.
He immediately asked Chen Feng: "Brother Feng, are you trying to chase me by spending so much time on my birthday? If so, I will agree. This is the first time in my life that I have such a grand birthday party."< br>
Chen Feng smiled and responded unceremoniously: "You don't You have to be wishful thinking, I will always be the man you can’t get.”
Lin Wan could only sigh half-heartedly: “I wish I had met you earlier. "
Wu Mengting and the other two women laughed out loud when they heard this.
Then, Lin Wan briefly introduced her two friends to Chen Feng, who were actually her classmates in the same dormitory at the university.
One is named Li Li, who is a bit fat, wears glasses, and looks average; the other Wu Bingyao is pretty good-looking, but she is still a little worse than Lin Wan and Wu Mengting. She can barely score 80 points, so she can be considered a Beauty.
Both women were full of curiosity towards Chen Feng, maybe because Lin Wan had told them that he was very rich.
However, they probably all knew that they had no chance, or Lin Wan had already warned them that Chen Feng had been booked by Wu Mengting, so they didn't show much affection and ambiguity. They are all relatively open-minded and not artificial.
Therefore, Chen Feng did not reject them. He talked and laughed with them and answered some of their curious questions.
For example, is he really divorced? Are you speculating in stocks now? Is there any house here in Xiuzhou? Do you have any plans to buy a house and settle down in Xiuzhou in the future?
These girls in today's society are so realistic. To put it in a derogatory way, they are very materialistic. To put it in a nice way, it seems not, because that's how society is.
What mother-in-law doesn’t want her son-in-law to have a car, a house and a savings of more than six figures?
On the other hand, which man doesn’t want his woman to be young and beautiful.
Women love money and men are lustful.
This is reality!
When people go into society, not only women become realistic, but men also become realistic.
The world is like this, there is no way.
So, Chen Feng was not very disgusted with Li Li and Wu Bingyao asking him these somewhat private questions.
At least they didn't directly ask Chen Feng how many savings and assets he has now. Compared with questions like this, other questions can be considered relatively implicit.
Fortunately, these two women were quite measured. After inquiring about Chen Feng's situation at first, they changed the topic and talked about the layout of the private room tonight.
Then it was time to order. The birthday girl had priority. Lin Wan started to order. She was not polite and ordered five dishes at once, and they were all relatively expensive, totaling more than three thousand yuan.
The other three women were much more polite. Each of them only ordered one dish. In the end, Chen Feng ordered two dishes, which added up to exactly ten dishes.
Then, there are fruit drinks that women love to drink. Chen Feng doesn't drink while driving.
The four women, except Wu Mengting, the other three women are all chatty, and the atmosphere at the banquet is still very good.
During this period, Lin Wan also received several calls from relatives and friends, all wishing her a happy birthday.
This made Lin Wan feel much better tonight.
However, as a hard-working female anchor, after the first dish was served, she immediately expressed her intention to start a live broadcast and obtained everyone's consent.
Her birthday is the oldest. Even Chen Feng and Wu Mengting, who were reluctant, reluctantly agreed for the sake of her birthday, but said they would try not to take pictures of them.
Chen Feng sat opposite her, but he was basically out of the camera. Wu Mengting sat next to her, and it was difficult not to be in the mirror.
Wu Mengting had no choice but to deliberately sit farther away, so she could only serve as her human body background again.
Because it was Lin Wan's birthday, the senior friends in her live broadcast room definitely wanted to express their gratitude, and the gifts quickly flew up.
Coupled with Wu Mengting, a beautiful editor, and Wu Bingyao, a beauty with a score of 80, the popularity of the live broadcast room has been greatly increased.
As for Chen Feng, the rich man who paid for the treat, it also reminded many fans in the live broadcast room of the "love triangle" not long ago, which also caused a certain topic.
Lin Wan is conducting a live broadcast here, and she is eating and chatting with Chen Feng and others. However, due to the live broadcast, everyone cannot chat in depth.
On the other hand, Wu Bingyao and Li Li cooperated with her, talked to her a lot, and also got into the mirror.
Chen Feng was a little helpless about this. Originally, he was thinking about having a good meal with four women tonight, but the reality was that Lin Wan was doing a live broadcast.
Not to mention that it was not very enjoyable for him to eat, but it would definitely be even more unpleasant to chat.
Fortunately, Lin Wan kept her word and did not frequently turn the camera towards him and Wu Mengting. She mainly interacted with Li Li and Wu Bingyao, and the conversation was lively.
In this way, time passed very quickly. After almost an hour, almost half of the ten dishes were eaten. Lin Wan also noticed that Chen Feng and Wu Mengting were unnatural, so she stopped. .
“I’m sorry!” Lin Wan apologized to the four of them, “Because I had already announced in the live broadcast room that today was my birthday. If I think about it, I can also take the opportunity to let those water friends give me a message. I sent a wave of gifts, so I started a live broadcast. In this way, next time I treat you to a meal, and have a big meal, as a thank you for your support of this live broadcast.”
The fat Li Li immediately responded: "Okay! Wan'er is so generous. I will be there whenever you want to eat."
Wu Bingyao also smiled and said: "Then I'm welcome."< br>
Seeing this, Wu Mengting had no choice but to say: "Next time you want to start a live broadcast, you'd better tell us in advance. If you make a surprise attack, it will We are not mentally prepared."
Lin Wan hugged her with a smile and said, "Oh my God, this is not your first time doing a live broadcast with me. What else do you need to be mentally prepared for?"
Wu Mengting said angrily: "Even if I don't care, other people may care."
"You are all my friends. And I have asked for your consent before starting the live broadcast. Why do you care?"
Lin Wan's words were a bit unskilled. I don't know if she really doesn't understand or not. Pretending not to understand.
Chen Feng said rudely: "I just care. If it weren't for your birthday today, I would definitely disagree. You have to know that the money I paid for your birthday party is not for you. Live broadcast."
"Okay, okay. Why are you such a stingy man? I didn’t even take pictures of you just now. Besides, I’ve already apologized and I’ll treat you to a meal next time.” It's best to tell me in advance like today, otherwise it's very rude, you know?"
Chen Feng would not spoil her. Expressed his dissatisfaction directly.
"Okay, okay. I was wrong, please let the head office handle it."
After all, Lin Wan was still able to adapt and immediately apologized again. Of course it would be difficult for Chen Feng to catch him again.
"Okay, let's eat vegetables. Don't let such delicious food go to waste." Li Li, a standard foodie, changed the topic.
“Yes. The food here is indeed worthy of its reputation. It is full of color, flavor and taste.”
"This squirrel mandarin fish is so delicious. I have eaten it at other places before, but it is not as authentic and delicious as here. The taste is much different."
The other two women followed, and the atmosphere at the table immediately changed. It's lively again.
