Chapter 905 Artwork
In addition to the furs, there were some works of art in the box, including two oil paintings, a set of silver tableware, and even an exquisite Fabergé egg in a wooden box at the bottom.
Of course, this egg is not the real thing. The real Fabergé egg is a great thing, a national treasure of Big Brother, so it is impossible to appear here. However, this imitation Fabergé egg is very beautiful, and it is inlaid with many jewels, which shines slowly under the light.
Luo Yang liked this thing as soon as he saw it, and he wanted it but was a little embarrassed. After all, he and Shen Yuanjie had just met and they were not familiar with each other, so how could he ask for it?
Qin Zhengguo noticed Luo Yang's interest in the Easter egg, and he smiled and let Luo Yang take the egg away without saying a word. As for Shen Yuanjie's opinion, Qin Zhengguo did not ask. Since Shen Yuanjie had just said those words and asked them to see the things in the box, then according to Shen Yuanjie's temper, these things had already been given to Qin Zhengguo and Luo Yang, and how the two of them divided them was their own business.
Luo Yang thanked repeatedly with some embarrassment, accepted the gift, put the Easter egg carefully into the box, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
As for other things, such as fur, Luo Yang was not interested in them, so he gave them all to Qin Zhengguo. Anyway, Qin Zhengguo loved to show off, so if he made a few coats out of these things, he would definitely wear them out to show off.
Qin Zhengguo nodded with a smile, thought for a while and gave the two oil paintings to Luo Yang, saying that Luo Yang was now an artist and there was no use for him to keep the two paintings, so it would be nice to hang them in Luo Yang's office or home to add some artistic atmosphere.
After the discussion, they sat back on the sofa and continued talking about the previous topic.
At this time, Luo Yang and Shen Yuanjie were already familiar with each other, and they talked more casually. He asked Shen Yuanjie, a man from Andong, how could he not encounter other problems when he went to Fenhe and his business was so big now?
Hearing Luo Yang's question, Shen Yuanjie smiled and said, "How could I not have encountered other things?" Although his old classmate was the deputy county magistrate in Fenhe, the customs and folkways in Liaodong were different from those in the interior. There was an old saying in the past, "Shandong produces bandits, Liaodong produces bandits."
Many years ago, Liaodong was full of bandits. The reason why the famous Zhang Zuolin became the King of Liaodong was because he was the biggest bandit leader in Liaodong. Later, he was recruited and climbed to that position step by step.
After the founding of New China, there are still stories about the snowy forests. Although things are not the same as before, and bandits have long disappeared, people from the underworld still exist. These people are not good people, and they are very aggressive, especially when it comes to money and interests, sometimes they can do anything.
However, Shen Yuanjie was not afraid of these things. First, he had old classmates there, and second, he was mentally prepared before he went there, and he paid attention to these aspects while making money. In the past few years, it was not that no one had secretly attacked him, but they were all resolved by Shen Yuanjie, otherwise he would not be able to do such a big business in Fenhe now.
Shen Yuanjie was very nonchalant when he said this, but the perceptive Luo Yang noticed that some things were not as trivial as Shen Yuanjie said. It was probably because of his abilities that Shen Yuanjie was able to gain a foothold in Fenhe in the past few years and did such a big business with Big Brother.
After having dinner together, Shen Yuanjie treated Luo Yang and Qin Zhengguo well. Originally, Shen Yuanjie planned to take them to the newly opened nightclub in Bingcheng to have some fun after dinner, but Luo Yang and Qin Zhengguo both refused his kindness.
When Luo Yang asked about Qin Zhengguo's residence, he found out that he happened to be staying in the same hotel as him. After saying goodbye to Shen Yuanjie, the two left together.
After saying goodbye at the hotel, Luo Yang returned to the room and played with the Easter egg with great interest. After playing with it for a while, he put it back into the box, took a shower, and went to bed early.
The next day, Luo Yang went to the set again, checked the shooting progress, and chatted with the director for a while.
He basically had nothing to do in Ice City after that, and he also realized that if he stayed there, it would affect the director's filming, so it would be better for him to go back early.
After being out for a while, Luo Yang was thinking about his wife and children at home, so he asked the hotel front desk to book a ticket for him in the evening. He called Qin Zhengguo and told him that he was leaving first and asked him to say hello to Shen Yuanjie. Qin Zhengguo smiled and said that it was a small matter. He would stay in Bingcheng for a few more days, and would go to Shanghai after finishing his work here. They would meet in Shanghai then.
After taking an evening flight, Li Xiaoyun returned to her home in Shanghai at ten o'clock in the evening. The child was asleep, but Li Xiaoyun was still waiting for Luo Yang at home. Hearing some noise at the door, she quickly opened the door and was delighted to see Luo Yang. She asked him if he had eaten.
"I had some airplane meals on the plane." Luo Yang said with a smile as he put down his luggage.
"Airplane meals are not nutritious. I'll go heat up the food. Please wait a moment." Li Xiaoyun took a pair of slippers and asked Luo Yang to change his shoes, then went to the kitchen.
Luo Yang went to the bathroom to wash his face first, then came to the living room. After a while, Li Xiaoyun came with hot meals.
"Just make do with this for now, I'll make you something delicious tomorrow."
"Everything my wife cooks is delicious." Luo Yang is very sweet-mouthed and just one sentence makes Li Xiaoyun smile.
Li Xiaoyun made Luo Yang fried rice with cold rice, heated up two dishes, and heated up the cold pickled pork with preserved vegetables. Luo Yang ate with a smile on his face. Although he did eat airplane food on the plane, how much food can there be in airplane food? Besides, it was already very late, and he was a little hungry on the way back.
After wolfing down the meal, Luo Yang took the soup that Li Xiaoyun scooped for him with a spoon and drank it with relish, talking to Li Xiaoyun as he drank.
He told Li Xiaoyun about his visit to see his sister-in-law, Gou Wa and Xiao Hu, and also said that his sister-in-law missed her very much. Because of the children, Luo Yang had gone alone over the years, and his sister-in-law had not seen Li Xiaoyun for a long time.
"Next year, I'll bring the kids with you." Li Xiaoyun nodded with a smile.
"That couldn't be better. My sister-in-law will definitely be happy if you go." Luo Yang said, then remembered the story of Gou Wa and talked about it with Li Xiaoyun.
"Why is this kid so stubborn? Didn't you tell him that money for school is not a problem? After all, our family will cover all the expenses for the two children to go to college in the future, so it won't be a big deal if my sister-in-law is short of money." Li Xiaoyun couldn't help but frowned after listening to Luo Yang's words.
Luo Yang sighed and shook his head: "I thought so too, but I haven't told Gou Wa yet and he interrupted me. Guess what he said?"
"What do you mean?"
Luo Yang immediately told Li Xiaoyun exactly what Gou Wa had said. Li Xiaoyun was stunned after hearing it, and then she sighed for a long time.
"Did you promise him?"
"Now that we've come to this, how can I not agree? But I've also made an agreement with him that he has to graduate from junior high school first, and if he wants to find a job after graduation, I have to arrange it for him."
"You're quite smart. You agreed to everything. This kid...if he really goes south to explore the world as he said, who knows what will happen." Li Xiaoyun nodded in relief, then thought for a moment and said, "Things are different now. A junior high school graduate is still a bit low. I think even if we arrange a job for him, it's better for him to read more books. Reading more books will be useful in the future."
"Yeah, I think so too. I plan to find him a job and enroll him in a part-time high school. He can study while working and get a high school diploma in a few years. If he is still willing to study, I can find a way to get him into a TV university or take a self-study exam."
"This is good!" Li Xiaoyun agreed with Luo Yang's idea. Li Xiaoyun thought this arrangement was good. Not only could she have a job and make money, but it would not interfere with her studies. Besides, Gou Wa was still young and had a long way to go in the future. Studying was a good thing after all.
As for Gou Wa's work arrangement, the couple discussed it and Luo Yang told Li Xiaoyun that he planned to let Gou Wa work in an advertising company.
Rather than letting Gou Wa work as a worker in a factory under Shenghua, it would be more appropriate for him to work in an advertising company. Moreover, there are more things to learn in an advertising company. In recent years, the advertising company has cooperated very well with the Shanghai Film Studio. Many backbones of the film studio have more or less concurrent positions in the advertising company, and even some retired elderly people have been hired by the advertising company.
Gou Wa is a very smart child. If he finds a master to teach him well, he will have a bright future. If he does well in the advertising company, it will also be beneficial to Gou Wa's future. Whether he continues to work in the advertising company or works in Luo Yang's film company, this job will be enough for him for life.
After listening to Luo Yang's arrangement, Li Xiaoyun thought about it and said that this arrangement was indeed a good one. Moreover, although Luo Yang didn't usually manage the advertising company, Li Xiaoyun and Lin Yan were the two bosses of the company, so she was relieved to have Gou Wa working in their company.
After talking about Gou Wa, Luo Yang mentioned what happened when he went to Bingcheng and met Qin Zhengguo later, and then mentioned Shen Yuanjie who was doing border trade business in Fenhe.
Li Xiaoyun did not expect that Luo Yang would meet Qin Zhengguo by chance in Ice City. After hearing about Shen Yuanjie, Li Xiaoyun became very interested in this person.
Don't forget that before resigning, Li Xiaoyun and Lin Yan were both engaged in foreign trade. Although they have focused more on the advertising company in recent years, and Lin Yan recently proposed the idea of developing a charitable foundation in the mainland, Li Xiaoyun has been busy with Lin Yan on this matter these days, but when it comes to foreign trade, they still haven't given up their old business.
What’s more, the heat of last year’s story of Lao Mou exchanging canned food for airplanes has not yet passed, and now we hear that Shen Yuanjie has been doing this business in Fenhe a few years ago, and he has made a big business of it. How can we not be curious about his experience?
However, Luo Yang didn't know much about Shen Yuanjie. They had only met once and had tea and a meal together.
"By the way, I almost forgot. I have something to give you." Luo Yang slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered something. He stood up and walked to the side, took out a small wooden box from his luggage, and handed it to Li Xiaoyun.
"What's this?"
"Why don't you just open it and take a look?"
Li Xiaoyun rolled her eyes at Luo Yang. Are you still keeping it a secret? However, driven by curiosity, Li Xiaoyun opened the wooden box. When she saw the exquisite Easter egg lying in the velvet inside, Li Xiaoyun couldn't help but exclaimed, with a look of great joy on her face.
