Chapter 210 God-Level Treasure
Ning Weimin’s luck is not bad.
Huo Xin took him to the third floor with a familiar face.
Then they found an office, knocked on the door, and found the person they were looking for.
That friend of Huo Xin’s mother—Aunt Liu.
The middle-aged woman with a fleshy face had permed hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and a woolen suit.
Looks very fashionable.
She is indeed worthy of being the reception cadre of the foreign affairs department.
The originally indifferent and slightly serious face immediately turned into a friendly smile as soon as he saw that the person coming in was Huo Xin.
"Oh, this is Xinxin. It's been a long time since you, girl, came to play with Auntie."
Huo Xin also shouted affectionately.
"Aunt Liu, it's not my fault. It's my mother who didn't let me come. She said your work was too important and always involved in foreign affairs tasks. You were afraid that I would disturb you."
"Oh, it's true that your mother is so alienated from me. The four modernizations cannot be achieved overnight. Do you think Auntie still has to lie at her desk all day? You can come if you want. If she wants to blame you, just say I asked you to come."
Then, Aunt Liu changed the topic and naturally asked about Huo Xin's parents.
“Hey, your mother and father are doing well in the UK, right?”
"They are still in good health, but they are not very stable. They may have to change places again. They just called two days ago and said that they may have to move to Edinburgh again next year."
"Hi, work It’s necessary. Auntie’s place is pretty stable. I’ve been working here for almost 20 years. But speaking of it, I’ve only been abroad once in my life, and it was Albania.”
The two couldn’t help but laugh together. , and the formal politeness ends here.
"This is...what do you call me?"
Aunt Liu turned to Ning Weimin at the right time, with a curious look on her face.
Perhaps it was because of the suit Ning Weimin was wearing that she was too embarrassed to call him gay.
Huo Xin then remembered that he should introduce it.
"Aunt Liu, this is Manager Ning from our company's operations department. I am now interning at a foreign-funded enterprise. As you probably know, it is the clothing company founded by the French clothing master Pierre Carton, who is doing business with us. The ministry has a cooperative relationship with the Ministry of Textiles.”
Aunt Liu nodded while listening.
"I know, I have met the Frenchman with the leader. Did you just build a big stage in the Temple of Heaven last month, and let many girls and boys walk around in colorful clothes? Oops , your company is now famous, and it was even featured in "Reference News" for the first time. ”
A person relies on his clothes as if he were dressed in gold. Perhaps it was because Ning Weimin dressed up well and borrowed the influence of the old French man.
Aunt Liu looked at Ning Weimin carefully for a while and showed an amiable smile.
"Oh, this young man has become a manager in a big company at such a young age. He is really a talented person..."
This remark was somewhat ambiguous with a double entendre, which made Ning Weimin I felt a little embarrassed immediately.
But he didn't know the specific position of Aunt Liu, so he couldn't ignore her, so he could only call her after Huo Xin.
"Hello, Aunt Liu. This is the first time we meet. My name is Ning Weimin. You can call me whatever you want. Just call me Xiao Ning by my last name. Or you can call me by my first name, but don't be polite to me."
"To tell you the truth, I am nothing as a manager and cannot be compared with the official cadres of our country. Your words make me so ashamed."
This is quite true. Aunt Liu is very happy to hear it.
"The young man is quite humble and really good at talking. Then I'll be polite and call you Xiao Ning."
But following this Aunt Liu is not too troublesome, and following Huo Xin winked.
It seemed like he was praising her for her good taste, which made the atmosphere even more unpleasant.
Fortunately, the embarrassment is embarrassing. This old woman with a soul of gossip is not ambiguous in her work.
I heard that Ning Weimin and Huo Xin came to buy paintings, but there were many words in the sales department and few paintings, especially Qi Baishi’s paintings, which were difficult to choose from. They also wanted to go to the library to see other paintings. painting.
Aunt Liu readily agreed on the spot.
Then he chatted with them all the way and led them to the warehouse office.
I found a warehouse manager named Xiao Qi to help open the door with the key.
However, Xiao Qi was a little worried when he heard that Huo Xin asked for Qi Baishi.
I have to tell them that because of the sales, I don’t know how many people have had their hands on those modern and contemporary paintings by Curry.
Things that have been put in and out of the warehouse in the past two or three years have been messed up.
It may be difficult to find the works of just one person.
I can only point them to a rough area and let them try their luck on their own. This is something that can't be helped, and Ning Weimin understands it very well.
Unexpectedly, he was stunned as soon as he entered the room.
Not to mention starting to look for it, for a while, he couldn't even move.
The room behind Ganqing Gate is quite large. It is a large common room equivalent to the area of two classrooms.
The layout of the room is just like a library, with large wooden shelves reaching the ceiling.
Each shelf has five levels and is filled with scrolls lying horizontally.
That's not all, Xiao Qi said naggingly, there are about thirty boxes stored in the room next door.
To be honest, most people have never seen such a scene.
Actually, let alone seeing it before, I’m afraid I can’t even imagine it.
According to Ning Weimin's visual estimate, if there are not tens of thousands of calligraphy and paintings in this room, there must be eight or nine thousand.
What a fortune this is!
Others don't know it, but Ning Weimin doesn't know it either.
In his eyes, Rong Baozhai's shop is equivalent to Alibaba and the Forty Thieves in "Arabian Nights", a legendary treasure like that.
The room where calligraphy and paintings are stored is probably only comparable to the legendary divine treasure of King Solomon!
Exaggeration?
Not at all!
Because to put it in the most straightforward and popular terms, the things in this room are worth a trillion dollars!
Thirty years later, it will be enough to buy a country.
So Ning Weimin, who prided himself on seeing the world and thought he would never be surprised by any good things in his life, once again couldn't stay calm because of his eye-opening experience.
At this moment, he was completely shocked by the sight in front of him.
His feeling was like taking a big bite of green mustard!
Thrilling, subversive, transparent, refreshing, exciting, going crazy!
For the first time, he truly understood what "shock" meant.
That was the result of his gaze. Apart from these paintings, nothing could be seen.
Time, space, and myself could no longer be felt...
I don’t know how long it took before Ning Weimin regained consciousness.
At this time, he discovered that whether it was Aunt Liu, Huo Xin, or Xiao Qi, they were all focused on him.
He guessed that people might have called him several times.
He coughed in embarrassment, then put his hand on his forehead to cover his face, and apologized again and again.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect there to be so many paintings here. I made things simple. It seems that it's really difficult to find Qi Baishi."
Xiao Qi was happy for a moment.
“Look, I’m right. You can only try your luck. But I can tell you, it’s probably within the row of five or six wooden shelves against the wall. If you’re looking for it, go there "Bian, the probability is higher."
And just when Ning Weimin followed the reminder and walked over, Aunt Liu seemed to be afraid that he would return empty-handed, so she said so.
"It's okay if you can't find it. I'll tell the following later. If anyone finds it, I'll just leave it for you."
"If you're interested in something else, you might as well buy some back first. No matter whether it's big or small, Auntie has the final say, and they'll all be counted as small. If it's a foreign exchange certificate, it's twenty-one. RMB is twenty-five." Is that okay? "
This is a good thing, but Ning Weimin has to remind her so as not to make things difficult for Aunt Liu.
"Aunt Liu, thank you for taking care of me. But the problem is, I plan to buy dozens of pictures. Is it too much? I won't embarrass you, right?"
I didn't expect it. Aunt Liu laughed and was very happy.
“Oh, that’s great, our funds are much looser this month. Let me tell you, the more you buy, the better. Auntie, we should thank you for helping us a lot. .”
Immediately after turning her head, she started teasing Huo Xin again.
"Xinxin, should I attribute this favor to you, or should I thank Xiaoning?"
Huo Xin looked shy and angry.
"Aunt Liu, you are really..."
