After saying that, she bowed slightly towards Tianqi and said, “Dr. Shi, I’ll leave you now!”
Stella took Martina out of Relief House, then directly into a nanny car on the roadside.
As soon as the car door closed, Stella immediately said categorically, “It seems that the this Jacob can be cured, should not be the credit of Tianqi,”
“Tianqi was just a tool to be introduced to play a cover, so there is still a mysterious person behind this matter.”
Martina could not help but ask: “Miss, is it really that Master Wade? Excluding Tianqi, I’m afraid he is the only one who is most suspicious.”
Stella nodded and said with some excitement, “The breakthrough point now should be in the body of Jacob!”
“He was injured and hospitalized, and the mystery man even brought out Tianqi to cover up, so he must be very close to him!”
Martina also said excitedly: “We have searched for a large circle, and finally locked a specific target! Then I’ll find someone to transfer the information of this man!”
“Good!” Stella’s gaze was like a torch, and instructed, “Make sure to transfer all the information of Jacob and all his relatives,”
“His and his relatives’ identity, education background, work history, and family background, etc.”
“Also remember, make sure to use the highest level of confidentiality one-way channel, never reveal any clues.”
The so-called one-way channel refers to the identity information transmission that can only be transmitted in one direction.
That is, you know the informant’s information, can receive information and intelligence back from the informant, but the informant does not know her information.
In this way, once the informant exposes his or her trail, the other party cannot find him or her through the informant, which is considered the safest way to obtain information.
Stella is very clear about the characteristics of the intelligence network, this thing is sometimes a double-edged sword, one can query the other party’s information in the intelligence network,”
“The other party may be placed in the intelligence network early warning alerts, once someone query their information, you can immediately receive the relevant feedback.
In that case, she was originally staying in the dark, while the other party is in the light.
But just because she used the intelligence network to look up the other party’s information, she instantly exposed her motives as well as her identity to the other party.
Therefore, she had to ensure absolute safety.
At this time, Charlie did not know that there was a woman who for the first time had combed through the layers of clues in Aurous Hill and peeled back the layers, finally focusing the clues on his father-in-law’s figure.
Moreover, the strength and means of the Fei family is more than a notch stronger than the Wade family.
Therefore, Stella’s investigation did not touch the alarm of the Wade family.
When Martina placed all the information of Jacob, as well as all the information of the surrounding relatives, in front of Stella, Stella took the lead in picking up Jacob’s family tree chart.
On this lineage chart, from the Willson family’s old man, then the old lady, and then the two families of Jacob and Noah, they were all listed very clearly.
After all, the Willson family is not a famous family, let alone a secret family, so their information can be easily found.
Stella swept through the names one by one, and when she saw Jacob’s daughter Claire, she immediately looked at the words noted next to Claire Willson: spouse Charlie Wade.
Seeing the name Charlie, Stella’s eyes immediately surfaced with a burst of excitement.
Ever since she came to Aurous Hill, she has been extremely sensitive to the word “Wade”.
And when she saw that Jacob’s son-in-law was named Charlie Wade, she almost immediately said with certainty: “It’s him! It must be him!”
After saying that, Stella immediately raised her head and asked Martina: “Has this Charlie Wade’s information been transferred out?”
“Yes.” Martina said, “It’s in the pile of specific information at the back.”
“Good!” Stella immediately flipped out Charlie’s information, opened it, and immediately saw Charlie’s ID photo.
She immediately clenched her fists and said excitedly, “It’s really him!”
After saying that, she gently tapped her finger on Charlie’s photo avatar and murmured, “Hello Master Wade, finally we meet again!”
Then, she began to check Charlie’s official information, but after a cursory sweep, she was surprised and said,
“This Charlie, there is no information related to his family background?!”
“No parents, no grandparents, grandma and grandparents, not even any relatives, did he pop out of the cracks of a stone?”
Martina nodded and explained, “Miss, this person’s life is rather pitiful, the official information shows that he was abandoned at birth and then adopted by the Aurous Hill orphanage,”
“The management of the household register was also rather chaotic, so he was in the orphanage in a black state until he was eight years old, after eight years old, the orphanage unified a group of orphans to apply for a collective household register, and only then he was considered after the age of eight,”
“The orphanage unified a group of orphans to apply for a collective household, he is considered to have a household.”
This is where Leon was brilliant.
Charlie was actually eight years old before he entered the orphanage, and his household registration was not local to Aurous Hill.
In order to make Charlie absolutely safe, he had to give him a brand new identity, a local Aurous Hill identity, and one that would stand up to scrutiny, as well as one that would not be recognized in the future.
That’s why he made up Charlie’s background, so that his official information shows that he was abandoned by his parents after birth.
Could not find his biological parents, and was in an orphanage until he was eight years old when he was registered through the orphanage.
In this way, it’s basically a seamless process.
After all, many abandoned babies who cannot find their parents always end up with their own registry, and this operation is considered routine.
When Stella saw this, she did not have any doubts, but could not help but exclaim: “This person’s life is actually so tragic?”
“And I see that he seems to have dropped out of high school and only studied in college for a year until he got married, and he doesn’t have a degree.”
“Yes.” Martina also sighed: “It seems to be quite miserable, and after he got married, his household registration was moved out of the collective account of the orphanage”
“And into the family account of Jacob, if I guessed correctly, he should be the live-in son-in-law of the Willson family.”
“Live-in son-in-law?” Although Stella grew up in the United States, she was born and raised in a Chinese family after all, and she was still very familiar with many Chinese unique customs.
She couldn’t help but frown and mutter, “This Master Wade, he’s actually a live-in son-in-law? If he is really that capable, why did he go to be a live-in son-in-law?”
“Moreover, this Willson family, the strength seems to be very, very average ……”
In her impression, the status of a live-in son-in-law can be said to be a label of the lowest class in Chinese society.
Only the kind of people whose families are in difficulty, or whose family strength and status are too inferior to the woman’s, will give up their dignity and become a son-in-law.
After all, just being a live-in son-in-law means giving up a man’s face and even his original family of origin.
Moreover, many Chinese families that Stella knew had let their daughters recruit sons-in-laws because they had no sons or wanted to be more prosperous.
Even the children born have to take the surname of the woman’s family.
Because of these impressions, Stella is incomparably surprised, she really can’t understand, if Charlie is really very powerful, why get into a small family, as a live-in son-in-law?
Because she couldn’t figure it out, Stella’s eyebrows were locked and she didn’t speak for a long time, still thinking about the possibilities.
Martina saw her serious and sleepy expression, so she couldn’t help but ask: “Miss, what do you think about this matter now?”
Stella sighed, staring at the pile of information in front of her while rubbing her temples with her slender and tender white jade hands while saying despondently,
“From this information, the entire Willson family, starting from Old Lady Willson, has one count, and adding up all their assets, it’s only around 100 million RMB.”
“But if this Charlie, is really the one I’m looking for as the entrusted with the Pill, then I’m afraid that just one of his pills is worth tens of billions of dollars!”
“In that case, Charlie’s strength is more than hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the Willson family, so how could he be the son-in-law of the Willson family?”
Speaking of this, she added: “By equal proportion, this is like a rich man worth nearly ten million dollars, into a poor man’s family,”
“Whose entire family assets do not even add up to ten thousand dollars, then I want to know, in the end, he went into the family, is it like helping the poor?”
“Yes oh ……” Martina also very agreeably nodded repeatedly: “If according to this price gap, the whole Willson family has to feed Charlie as an ancestor, and how can we say Charlie is a live-in son-in-law? “
Saying that, she asked again, “Miss, could it be that we misjudged from the beginning?”
Stella pursed her lips, the bottom of her eyes suddenly burst out a touch of determination, said in a deep voice:
“We all the way from those side clues, a little focus to here, everything is right on, there should not be wrong!”
“Moreover, Jacob’s case is also here, he is indeed partially paralyzed due to complete spinal cord injury, but he was completely healed in less than a day, this kind of unprecedented medical miracle, also actually happened!”
“No matter if this Charlie is the person we are looking for or not, I can be sure that Jacob must have been cured by the one we are looking for!”
Speaking of this, Stella stood up, expression and eyes also more determined:
“This Jacob, personal history is very mediocre, basically there is no place to stand out, if not for the help of noble people he once paraplegia, the rest of his life can only be paralyzed in bed,”
“There is no possibility of recovery, and I looked through Jacob’s family and contacts, in addition to this Charlie, the background is mysterious, other people are as mediocre as Jacob, and it is impossible to help him in such a situation!”
Martina said: “Miss, this Charlie’s background is not mysterious at all, all his background is clear, compared to the Willson family, he is not even mediocre ……”
“No.” Stella seriously said, “Charlie’s life history before the age of eighteen is almost completely blank,”
“This shows that he did not go to formal elementary school, nor formal junior high school, nine years of compulsory education, were received in the orphanage,”
“This kind of resume, almost equal to blank, the more like this, the more I feel unfathomable.”
Speaking of which, she added: “As for why he wanted to join the Willson family, to be honest, I do not understand, but I think, he must have his reasons and justifications!”
Martina asked, “Miss, then can you be sure now that the person you are looking for, is this man?”
“I can be sure!” Stella said firmly: “If it’s not him, then it proves that I’m wrong from beginning to end, but if I’m right in one place from beginning to end, then it must be him!”
Speaking of which, she hurriedly picked up Jacob’s information and said, “This Jacob, is now the executive vice president of the Aurous Hill City Calligraphy and Painting Association,”
“Check the specifics of the Aurous Hill Calligraphy and Painting Association for me, I’ll see if I can find any breakthroughs from this old man!”
……
Jacob often leaves early and returns late in recent days.
The Aurous Hill Calligraphy and Painting Association, although nominally a professional civil organization, but in fact, also has half of the official nature.
On the whole, it is a semi-official, semi-civic people’s group.
If there is little official need, it is a small group of hobbyists gathering.
But if there is an official event, then it will represent the official attendance.
For this cultural exchange between Aurous Hill and Korean sister cities, the Painting and Calligraphy Association naturally became the official representative of friendship and the messenger of exchange.
Therefore, in order to ensure a successful and smooth exchange of activities, Jacob has been following the President of the Association these days.
This means, attending various talks and meetings in the city.
Although he was very busy, he has recently been very energetic.
He has been used to mediocrity in his life and has not done anything prestigious for 50 years.
Now, as the second-in-command of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he attends various formal meetings and meets with various leaders and elites every day, giving him the illusion that he is also an elite.
This afternoon, representatives of the Calligraphy and Painting Association went to the city for another meeting.
This time to communicate the details of this Korean exchange with fellow members of the Music and Arts Association, the Writers’ Association, and the Senior Citizens’ University.
The meeting was attended by not only Jacob, who represented the Calligraphy and Painting Association, but also Meiqing, Jacob’s first love.
And Pollard, Charlie’s mother’s old classmate, and Melba’s father, who was present on behalf of the senior citizen university.
Meiqing and Pollard are both doctors who have returned from the United States.
Meiqing had been engaged in the legal industry in the United States for many years and is extremely experienced, while Pollard is an internationally renowned economics expert.
In contrast, Jacob is not so eye-catching.
Although he is the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he knows a little bit about calligraphy and painting in this field.
To really give him a brush, he can’t write many good words, can’t make many good paintings, but is just an amateur ticket holder’s level.
When he first entered the calligraphy and painting association as an ordinary member have great water, now can climb to the executive vice president of the second position, but also all thanks to President Pei.
Since that last time, President Pei saw Orvel’s humility and respect for Jacob when he attached great importance to Jacob.
Now on some big public occasions, he will take the initiative to bring Jacob to see the world.
However, Jacob really has no real material, so if he really wants to make some comments in the field of painting and calligraphy, the professionals will know that he is a half-wit.
In order to prevent him from showing his fears and making a fool of himself, President Pei took him out to participate in activities and instructed him to listen more and talk less, so as not to say more and make more mistakes.
Jacob naturally also knows that his level is not very good, so once to this occasion, basically he does not express their views.
However, here, Meiqing and Pollard both shine.
In order to show the active self-improvement of the elderly in Aurous Hill in this exchange event in Korea, the two of them made a set of very professional lecture courseware together, which was extremely well done.
The vast majority of senior citizen universities in China are actually recreational centers for the elderly, where retired seniors go to learn calligraphy, painting, dancing and even tai chi.
Or to engage in recreational activities together, which is basically the whole concept of senior citizen universities.
However, Meiqing and Pollard both feel that since it is a university for the elderly, they still have to sort out some in-depth teaching courses.
So they both put a lot of effort into the university for the elderly and organized a group of elderly people with a high level of education to make several disciplines sound.
The whole meeting in addition to umming and ahhing he is basically just nodding repeatedly, the heart is really a bit tasty.
On the one hand, he felt inferior to his own level compared to Meiqing and Pollard, which had a huge gap.
On the other hand, he also felt that Meiqing and Pollard were working too closely and perfectly together, which made him feel jealous.
As the meeting was coming to an end, someone proposed that they all should get together for a meal in the evening, and Jacob thought that he would take the opportunity to have more contact with Meiqing over dinner.
But to his surprise, Meiqing said, “Professor Watt and I will not participate in the dinner, we have to go back to the senior college later, and there is an internal learning experience sharing session tonight.”
President Pei couldn’t help but praise, “Professor Han is so responsible!”
“We have to organize a sharing session in the evening, compared to your senior college, our Calligraphy and Painting Association is really a bit uninspired!”
Meiqing said modestly, “Don’t say that, President Pei, the nature of the senior citizens’ university is different from that of the Painting and Calligraphy Society.”
Jacob is also a bit resentful, Meiqing does not go to the dinner, then he is also not interested in eating with this group of old men, so he said:
“Meiqing, how about I drop you at the University, from there and my home just the same way.”
Meiqing smiled faintly and said politely, “No need Jacob, I came with Professor Watt today, he is driving, we will just go back together.”
“Oh ……” Jacob’s heart was even more lost, and he didn’t know how to continue the conversation for a while.
At this time, President Pei’s cell phone rang, he went out to answer the phone, and soon rushed over, excitedly said to Jacob:
“Jacob, come! Let’s go back to the association! There is a great surprise waiting for us!”
Seeing President Pei so excited, although Jacob was curious, he still asked, “President Pei, what is it that makes you so happy?”
President Pei said with great excitement, “The secretary of the association called and said that an overseas Chinese, entrusted by the elders of the family, wants to donate eight pairs of works of the calligrapher Zheng Huo to our calligraphy and painting association!”
“Zheng Huo?” Jacob asked with a bewildered expression, “Is this person very famous?”
Hearing this, President Pei burst into tears and said, “Jacob …… told you a long time ago that you are now the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association,”
“It doesn’t matter if you are not talented in calligraphy and painting, but you must be able to name one, two, or three,”
“So you must read more books of ancient and modern calligraphy and painting works, but you just don’t listen. You do not know, in the future if you go out by yourself, it is easy to be asked by others in three or two words!”
Saying that he hurriedly explained, “Zheng Huo is one of the most famous calligraphers in the history of Aurous Hill, with the title of the first person in the Qing Dynasty clerical script,”
“Although in the history of so many top calligraphy masters, he is not so famous, but he is after all our local calligrapher, to our Aurous Hill Calligraphy and Painting Association he is still very significant!”
Jacob smiled awkwardly and said, “Oh oh oh, I remembered …… just now you said in a hurry, I didn’t think about it for a while ……”
Jacob said so, but in fact, he has little to no understanding at all.
Pei President also did not take him seriously, with some excitement he said: “This is not the main thing, the main thing is that the overseas Chinese also said, she would like to promote our local history in the field of painting and calligraphy,”
“So she wants to fund us to set up a large exhibition of Aurous Hill history painting and calligraphy!”
“The work of our Aurous Hill dynasties in the field of painting and calligraphy are taken out, in a good exhibition, and she also promised to help us find some historical works of famous artists!”
Saying that, he patted Jacob’s shoulder and said excitedly, “If this exhibition is successful, our calligraphy and painting association will be famous!”
“Come on, let’s go back to the association and meet with this overseas Chinese.”
Jacob was not in a good mood, so he was not interested in this matter, what overseas Chinese, or the exhibition, it did not mean anything to him.
He only wanted to be able to fly with his Meiqing as soon as possible, or to break the thoughts of other men in her mind, especially that Pollard!
However, after all, he is the number two person in the Painting and Calligraphy Association, President Pei has said so, he certainly can not fall off the chain, so he can only agree to it, said: “Okay, then let’s go now!”
Coincidentally, Meiqing and Pollard also finished packing up the laptops they brought with them.
And seeing that Jacob and President Pei were leaving, Meiqing went forward and curiously asked, “Jacob, aren’t you going to the dinner?”
“No.” Jacob said, “There is an urgent matter in the association, so President Pei and I have to go back.”
Meiqing nodded and said, “It just so happens that Professor Watt and I are also ready to go, so let’s go out together.”
The four of them walked together to the parking lot, and Pollard’s car was parked close, so Meiqing said to Jacob and President Pei, “Jacob, President Pei, we’ll leave first, see you some other time.”
President Pei cheerfully said, “OK Professor Han, you and Professor Watt go first, our two cars are parked far away.”
“Okay.” Meiqing smiled faintly, and Professor Watt on the side also said bye to the two, then got into the car and started it to leave.
Watching the two drive away, President Pei couldn’t help but sigh: “Jacob, don’t you think, Professor Han and Professor Watt are quite a good match?”
Jacob’s eyes widened and he blurted out, “What’s so good about them? The guy named Watt is not good enough for Meiqing!”
President Pei said seriously: “Look at the two people, they are both talented, although they are almost 50, but look like 40 years old, also both returned from the United States,”
“There must be more common topics, and I heard that they are both widowed, this match simply can not be more perfect!”
Jacob’s heart is particularly unpleasant, can not help but feel depressed and muttered: “I think Pollard is a complete toad and want to eat swan meat!”
President Pei frowned and asked in surprise: “Everyone has a very good impression of Professor Watt, why are you so prejudiced against him?”
“The two of them are really the same kind of people, the male swan eats the female swan, the door is right to be a family, a good match!”
Jacob heard him say the male swan ate the female swan, the heart is nastier to die, in the heart can not help but curse:
“Old Pei what do you mean? What male swan eat female swan? So I, Jacob, am the toad, right?”
President Pei saw the annoyance in Jacob’s expression and exclaimed, “Jacob, you are not interested in Professor Han, are you?”
President Pei did not know the past of Jacob and Meiqing, but only knew that the two of them originally knew each other and were old classmates.
Moreover, Jacob had a family, which President Pei knew very well, so he had not thought about it.
However, now seeing Jacob who seems to be very annoyed with Meiqing and Pollard getting close, he immediately smacked out a little taste.
Jacob that really is a textbook-level old goose.
This kind of time is poked through the mind, how dare he admit it!
So he hurriedly waved his hand and said, “I didn’t President Pei, I just simply think that Pollard is not good enough for Meiqing.”
President Pei nodded and said in a serious voice: “Jacob, it’s best if you don’t think so! You have to know, our painting and calligraphy association, has half official nature,”
“We represent the face of the cultural field, and you are a man with a wife, if at this time to make some kind of scandal, or stepping on two boats, that is a style problem, I can not protect you!”
Jacob heard these words, his heart suddenly cooled half, in his mind immediately emerged Elaine’s face.
He could almost imagine what kind of intense reaction she would have if she knew that Meiqing had returned to China and gotten closer to him.
When the time comes, won’t it be a Mars collision!
Even if he wants to divorce with her, she has already made it clear that she won’t divorce him. Unilaterally, he cannot take a step to do so, thus separation from her is impossible.
According to the current regulations, in the absence of significant fault of both parties, the prosecution says that the people who want to divorce must first be separated for two years, otherwise, the court will decide not to divorce.
Moreover, if he really wants to separate from Elaine, these two years Elaine will torture him to death?
The thought of this, Jacob is nervous all over the body and feeling uncomfortable.
He has been suppressed by Elaine for so many years, and he has long had a strong mental fear of her.
Although he is a big man, and Elaine is just a shrew, but sometimes, the psychological shadow, or by years and years of suppression.
Even a big man is also easy to be in an absolutely passive position of vulnerability.
In reality, although most domestic violence is male to female violence, but there are a few domestic violence examples where there is female to male violence.
The male on female violence, mostly because men are naturally stronger than women, relies on the body to prevail over the other gender.
The female on male violence is mostly because the woman with their own way, give the man years and years of mental pressure.
Resulting in the male mentally getting accustomed to submissive behavior coming out of this suppression.
This is the case with Jacob.
He knew that Elaine was a stumbling block between himself and Meiqing, but still did not have the courage to kick her away.
Seeing him dazed in place, President Pei couldn’t help but ask him, “Jacob, what are you thinking about?”
Only then did Jacob come back to his senses and busily said, “Nothing, it is nothing.”
President Pei did not think much about it and instructed, “Hurry up, the guest is still waiting!”
Soon, President Pei and Jacob, each driving their own cars, returned to the Calligraphy and Painting Association back and forth.
At this time, Stella had been waiting here for a long time.
As soon as President Pei returned, the secretary brought him and Jacob to the meeting room and said to the waiting Stella,
“Miss Zhan, these two are President Pei of our Painting and Calligraphy Association and Vice President Willson!”
After saying that, she also introduced to the two, “President Pei, Vice President Willson, this is the French-Chinese I mentioned on the phone, Feier Zhan, Miss Zhan.”
Stella did not use her real identity for the sake of insurance.
But for her, she had completely legal and real identities in several countries, and this French-Chinese, Zhan Feier’s identity was just one of her many identities.
Stella took one more look at Jacob and was finally relieved that as long as she got in touch with Jacob, she would definitely have a chance to inquire about his son-in-law Charlie.
So, she stood up very politely and said with a smile, “Two presidents, I’ve heard a lot about you, finally I’ve met you both.”
President Pei did not expect that this guest was a beautiful young girl, after a slight dismay, he quickly smiled and said,
“Miss Zhan is really too polite, I heard that a Chinese wanted to donate calligraphy and painting, but I did not expect it to be from a young lady, was Miss Zhan from Aurous Hill before?”
Stella smiled faintly and shook her head, “Our family ancestors are from Aurous Hill, although the recent generations settled overseas, but the old people in the family still have very deep feelings for the city,”
“But the old people are old and not too convenient to come over, so they entrusted me to do a little contribution to the painting and calligraphy community in Aurous Hill.”
Saying that, she greeted Martina beside her and said, “Martina, quickly bring over the calligraphy and paintings prepared by the old man.”
Martina hurriedly stepped forward and brought over a wooden box made of golden silk nan wood, which was opened on the conference table, and eight scrolls were placed inside.
These eight scrolls were bought by Fei’s family from a collector in the United States last night and then sent to Aurous Hill overnight.
In order to, in line with the background of the story fabricated by Stella, so as to take the opportunity to hook up with Jacob.
However, President Pei and Jacob did not know that Stella played such a big show, in order to find an opportunity to approach the son-in-law of Jacob’s family, Charlie.
After that, Stella made an invitation gesture to President Pei and Jacob and said respectfully,
“Two presidents, these are the eight pieces of Zheng Zhou’s works that the old man at home asked me to bring back, please look at them.”
President Pei, naturally very excited, hastily took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, went forward and carefully picked up one of the characters, gently spread it out on the table, while looking at it, praised,
“This is indeed Zheng Zhou’s real handwriting, and looking at the handwriting, it is a work left behind during Zheng Zhou’s prime, very well preserved, very precious!”
Stella nodded and said with a smile, “These eight pieces of Zheng Zhou’s works are a series of Zheng Zhou’s works, eight pieces of writing to praise the four seasons and four directions of Aurous Hill,”
“and all eight pieces of writing are perfectly preserved, which is very rare indeed!”
President Pei said excitedly, “These eight characters have an alias called Aurous Hill Eight Sighs! They have great significance to the history and customs of this city!”
“When I first came across calligraphy, I had heard of these eight characters, but I had only heard that they had gone overseas, but I never thought that I would be lucky enough to see them in Aurous Hill today!”
Saying that, he said to Jacob, “Jacob, come and take a look! This can be said to be the most famous local calligrapher in Aurous Hill,”
“And these eight characters can best represent the cultural history of Aurous Hill! Look at the strong and powerful strokes, but the subtleties are rounded and full of rhythm, simply wonderful!”
Jacob could not understand any calligraphy, he only knew that it looked quite neat, but it was still early to say that he could understand the essence of it.
So, he could only praise it indiscriminately: “It’s really good calligraphy! At first glance, it is the work of a great master, so remarkable!”
With one sentence, Jacob made Stella firmly believe that this old man was a big waterboy.
However, she was still very serious and said, “Vice President Willson is right, this is indeed a masterpiece,”
“Although it is not as good as Wang Xizhi’s top calligraphy, but in this part of Aurous Hill, it is definitely one of the best.”
Jacob came up to President Pei at this time and asked him in a casual manner, “President, how much can these eight pieces of calligraphy be worth?”
President Pei said seriously: “Zheng’s words compared to many top people, is not expensive, but in recent years,”
“he excellent works auction price is more than a million, and collection industry you know, the more sets of things, the more expensive,”
“And the more the number of single sets, the more expensive! So these eight words to really put up for auction, tens of millions it can bring in!”
Jacob secretly staggered, couldn’t help but take a look at Stella, thinking: “This girl’s family must be particularly rich, otherwise how could tens of millions of things can they donate?”
President Pei had already opened all eight words one by one and looked at them once, and the more he looked at them, the more delighted he was, and he couldn’t help but ask Stella:
“Miss Zhan, these eight words, are they really going to be donated to the Aurous Hill Calligraphy and Painting Association?”
Stella said without hesitation, “Of course! If President Pei is okay with it, I can sign the donation letter at any time and confirm the donation in writing!”
President Pei was extraordinarily excited and said in a trembling voice, “Hey! This is really thankful to you Miss Zhan! The return of the Eight Sighs of Aurous Hill to Aurous Hill must be a sensational event for the entire Aurous Hill painting and calligraphy community!”
“On behalf of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, as well as all the calligraphers, calligraphy, and painting enthusiasts in Aurous Hill, I would like to thank you for your generous donation!”
Stella said with a smile, “President Pei is too generous, these eight pieces of calligraphy are a token of appreciation from the old man in the family, I am just passing them on behalf of him.”
President Pei asked gratefully, “Miss Zhan, I don’t know what is the name of the old man in your family? I’ll go back and publicize it in the painting and calligraphy circles in Aurous Hill, so that everyone will remember his contribution to the cultural cause of this city!”
Stella seriously said, “President Pei, my grandfather is relatively low-key, about his identity, we do not want to reveal too much, but the old man in the family has always thought about the promotion and development of Aurous Hill history and culture,”
“So this time also authorized me to hold a local art exhibition in the city, this matter, also need to ask the two presidents to help arrange, as for the activities of the money, it is all sponsored,”
“When the exhibition begins, he will definitely be a good example. When the exhibition begins, he will definitely come to Aurous Hill to participate, then also have the opportunity to communicate with you two face to face.”
President Pei nodded and said seriously, “Then when the exhibition starts, we will see the old man again!”
After saying that, he asked tentatively, “Miss Zhan, I wonder what your family’s budget is for the art exhibition?”
Stella said casually, “Initially, let’s set it at 50 million RMB, if it’s not enough, we can add more!”
When President Pei heard the figure of fifty million, his whole body felt dizzy.
Most of the funds of the Painting and Calligraphy Association depended on the financial allocation from the higher level, but the annual allocation was only a few hundred million.
And when the annual funding was insufficient, President Pei would lead everyone to generate income to ensure the smooth operation of the Painting and Calligraphy Association.
Therefore, the tight life is used to, at first hearing an art exhibition on the budget of 50 million, at once simply can not adapt.
Jacob was very excited and couldn’t help but say to President Pei: “President, with this 50 million, we can do a big job!”
“When the time comes, we can make a grand show, and let other art associations in Aurous Hill, including the senior college gang have a good look!”
Stella was pleased that the time was ripe, and hurriedly said, “Two presidents, why don’t I invite you to a casual dinner tonight, and let’s talk about the art exhibition while we eat?”
President Pei naturally agreed with great excitement, Jacob saw Pollard in the exchange meeting today, the heart is also on some fire.
Once heard of the opportunity to make a big thing, naturally, he is also very excited, so they also did not hesitate to agree to Stella’s invitation.
The two old men, who are more than a hundred years old, failed to see that the young girl in front of them, who is in her early twenties, is simply not drunk!
As soon as the matter of dinner was mentioned, President Pei immediately spoke up, “Miss Zhan, you are an honored guest of our Calligraphy and Painting Association, so today’s meal, I have to make the arrangements for it!”
Stella is very clear, polite, should not be polite when you must not.
For example, if someone else wants to invite you to dinner, if the other party is just polite, then ten million should also be polite.
And then politely refused, so that both sides have a step to get down, naturally is all happy.
However, if the other party does sincerely want to treat, there is no need to be too polite, and do not dwell on whether to grab the bill, just agree to give each other the greatest respect.
So, she said with a smile: “President Pei, since you have said so, then I naturally will not be polite with you! I’ll listen to your arrangements for the evening!”
President Pei patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, I will arrange the best hotel in Aurous Hill for the night!”
With that, he looked at Jacob and said, “Jacob, you have a good relationship with Master Orvel of Classic Mansion, why don’t you book a private room for me there, and we will host a banquet for Miss Zhan tonight!”
Jacob naturally would not refuse this kind of thing, after all, Orvel is respectful to him, let Orvel arrange a private box is just a matter of words?
So, he immediately said, “Okay, President, I’ll call Orvel and tell him to prepare a good box for us!”
As soon as Stella heard the word Classic House, her head was as big as a bucket, and she hurriedly said, “Vice President Willson, don’t be in a hurry first!”
She said hurriedly said to President Pei: “President Pei, let’s not go to such a high-end hotel, just find a special restaurant to eat a home-cooked meal, to be honest,”
“This is my first time to Aurous Hill, I am not familiar with this city, and would like to understand the real life side of the city.”
Upon hearing this, President Pei immediately praised, “Miss Zhan is right! You are new to the city, and your ancestors went out from our Aurous Hill,”
“This is half of your hometown, since you have returned to your hometown, you must taste the most grounded taste of your hometown!”
He immediately said, “Let’s try the most authentic local dishes in Aurous Hill tonight!”
“Okay!” Stella hurriedly agreed.
Soon, President Pei drove the way and led everyone to a small, inconspicuous restaurant, which was small but had a really nice interior and did very good business.
If it wasn’t for President Pei’s call in advance, I’m afraid they wouldn’t even have a seat over here.
But the good thing is that President Pei here also has a few thin face, so people deliberately vacated a table of customers who had booked a box, leaving the box empty for President Pei.
President Pei took Jacob and Stella took Martina, the four of them sat down in the box and ordered some local dishes, then-President Pei asked Stella:
“Miss Zhan, I wonder how long you will stay in Aurous Hill this time? The art exhibition will be held next month at the earliest, because later this month we are going to Korea for cultural exchange, and it may take more than a week before we can return.
President Pei was worried that Stella was in a hurry, and if she couldn’t stay in China for too long, the art exhibition would have to speed up the pace.
But right now all the energy is on the cultural exchange, so afraid it’s hard to balance both.
Stella also knew what President Pei was worried about, and she had been waiting for him to ask herself this question.
So, she immediately followed President Pie’s words and said with a smile, “President Pie doesn’t need to be anxious, you and Vice President Willson are still focusing on the cultural exchange that you two are organizing,”
“As for the art exhibition, it can wait until you two come back from Korea, because I am going to stay in Aurous Hill for a long time.”
“Oh? Is that so?” President Pie said with surprise, “That’s really great! After all, an art exhibition with a budget of fifty million can be considered first-class in China in terms of scale,”
“And an art exhibition of this magnitude definitely requires more time and effort to prepare if it wants to be successful.”
“Yes!” Stella nodded and smiled, “I’m not going to hide it from you, President Pei, my grandfather actually wants to return to his roots in the future,”
“So I came to Aurous Hill this time to make a front stop for him, to get familiar with the situation here first, and then settle his residence, so that he can move back here with no worries.”
President Pei asked curiously, “This means that Miss Zhan is going to settle down in Aurous Hill?”
Stella nodded along and said, “That’s right, I just bought a villa in the past two days, but I haven’t had time to regulate it,”
“So I may have to find a reliable feng shui master to help me look at it first, and if there’s nothing wrong with feng shui, will there be any conflict with the old man.”
Jacob heard this, immediately brightened up, almost without hesitation off the excitement: “Miss Zhan, you want to find a feng shui master, then you really found the right person today!”
Stella and President Pei chatted so much, just to bring Jacob in, waiting for him to say this sentence!
So, she suppressed her inner excitement and asked, pretending to be surprised, “Vice President Willson, do you know feng shui?”
Jacob heatedly smiled and waved his hand: “I don’t know, but my son-in-law knows a lot!”
“He is a master who specializes in feng shui, and has very many clients in Aurous Hill and even all over the country, and all of them are big and wealthy clients like you, Miss Zhan!”
“Is that so?” Stella said with a surprised look on her face, “If that’s the case, that’s a great coincidence!”
Pei chairman on the side also could not help but echo: “Miss Zhan, Jacob is right, his son-in-law is indeed a feng shui master, just as mentioned Classic mansion’s Mr. Orvel respect his son-in-law,”
“You know Mr. Orvel is our Aurous Hill local dignified big shot, if his son-in-law does not have real talent, there is no way he could make someone like Master Orvel so convinced.”
Stella was so excited, at this moment she could conclude that Jacob’s son-in-law, Charlie, was Master Wade, and was the big man behind the healing of Jacob’s paraplegia!
In that case, it makes sense that Charlie has the Rejuvenation Pill!
Thinking of this, she hurriedly said, “Vice President Willson, then please help me speak to your son-in-law and ask him to try to take time out of his busy schedule to help me look at the feng shui of that villa!”
Jacob has always been good at saving face, so at this time, he was naturally very quick to take the responsibility and said,
“Don’t worry, Miss Zhan, my son-in-law has great respect for me, I will tell him when I get back, he will definitely agree!”
Jacob said, Jacob’s mind moved, and hurriedly asked: “By the way, Miss Zhan, the villa you bought, is it a new or second-hand house? Is it hardcover or rough?”
Stella gave Martina the full authority to do this, so she didn’t know what kind of villa she was buying, so she said to her without showing her face, “Martina, come and introduce it to Vice President Willson.”
Martina said, “Vice President Willson, the villa that our lady bought is a second-hand villa, in the suburbs, the interior is decorated, but the decoration is a bit old, you ask this, is this in feng shui need any precautions?”
Jacob laughed: “Not feng shui has any precautions, mainly because my daughter engaged in a design studio, mainly to do interior design,”
“I want to say that if Miss Zhan this villa needs decoration, you can find my daughter, she is very professional!”
Stella brightened up and said happily, “That’s great! I just want to tear down and redo all the interior decoration, so I don’t have to work hard to go out and search again!”
