My place is on fire

Chapter 613 Meeting an old friend by chance!
Luo Rongning was also a little surprised when he heard what Xu Maocheng told him.

The system-level painting technology is very good, but...

Someone was willing to pay 60 yuan for one of his paintings, which was far beyond his expectations.

First of all, he is penniless in the art world, without any fame bonus.

Secondly, he is not a celebrity, just an ordinary person with no reputation bonus.

All in all, the objective value of his painting is actually very limited.

The person who is willing to pay a high price of 60 yuan for this painting is probably just like what Gao Min said, there is something wrong with his head...

Could it be that he met the legendary person who is stupid and rich?

Jingle bell, jingle bell--!

Just as Gao Min finished speaking, a mobile phone rang in the room.

Xu Maocheng took out his mobile phone, glanced at the name on the caller ID, and said with a smile:
"Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, no, the old man who bid 60 is calling, do you want to answer?"

Xu Maocheng looked at Luo Yuning and asked him for advice. He painted the painting, and it was up to him to decide whether to sell it or not.

Luo Yuning said with a calm expression: "Take it, don't hang on to others like this, whether to sell it or not, let's make sure."

"Okay, I'll take it, you come and talk to the old man."

While talking, Xu Maocheng swiped his finger to connect to the phone and handed the phone to Luo Rongning.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Xu, may I ask, is the owner of that painting back yet?"

After Luo Rongning took the mobile phone from Xu Maocheng's hand, he heard an extremely rich male voice on the other end of the phone.

The man's voice gave Luo Rongning a somewhat familiar feeling, as if he had heard this man speak somewhere.

"Hi, sir. I am Luo Rongning, the owner of the painting of the Great Wall. I heard from Uncle Xu that you intend to buy my painting?"

Luo Yuning didn't play around with the other party, and got straight to the point.

"Oh? You are the owner of that painting of the Great Wall? Good to meet you, good to meet you! I, Shang Yunqing, haven't asked your little friend's name yet?"

"Shang...Shang Yunqing?"

Luo Rongning was stunned when he heard the other party's self-reported family name, and blurted out and asked:

"You are, Grandpa Shang?"

After hearing the local self-reported family name, Luo Rongning suddenly remembered why the other party's voice sounded so familiar!

Shang Yunqing and Mr. Luo are close friends who have been in love for many years.

When Mr. Luo was alive, Shang Yunqing would go to the scenic spot every Mid-Autumn Festival to find Mr. Luo to catch up with him.

After the old man left, Shang Yunqing always felt hurt, and never went there again.

Speaking of which, the last time Luo Rongning and Shang Yunqing met was at the old man's funeral, more than a year ago.

"So it's that one..." After hearing Luo Rongning's address to the old man on the phone, Gao Min understood.

Before Gao Min and Luo Yuning's father divorced, every Mid-Autumn Festival, the old man would call him to the scenic spot to have a reunion dinner together.

She also had a deep impression on Mr. Shang.

Shang Yunqing's family has a certain influence in the political arena, and he himself has retired from a high position in the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and has rich network resources.

He has been in a high position for a long time, and he is not angry and arrogant. The aura of a superior person in him always makes people feel very stressed.

"Oh? You know me? Your voice, let me think about it..."

After Shang Yunqing heard Luo Yuning call him "Grandpa Shang", he suddenly realized:

"Are you... are you Lao Luo's grandson? Are you Yuning?"

Luo Yuning smiled and said: "Yes, Grandpa Shang, it's me! I really didn't expect that it would be this way to talk to you again, it's too surprising."

"Hahaha~ Yeah, what a coincidence, speaking of it, it seems like we haven't seen each other for over a year, right?"

By coincidence, Shang Yunqing got in touch with the old man by chance, and Shang Yunqing's mood suddenly became better, and he asked with a smile:

"Yunning, are you all right now? When I left you a message to ask you to come to the capital to find me if you were in trouble, you never came."

Luo Yuning smiled, and said half-truthfully, "Thank you Grandpa Shang for your concern, everything is fine with me, and everything in the scenic area is also going well.

This morning I was still thinking that I must visit you before leaving Beijing, but I didn't expect to get in touch with you tonight. It seems that we are very close. "

Shang Yunqing smiled and said: "Okay, okay, do you still have the address that Grandpa Shang gave you? It's still the same place. When will you come over and talk in advance, I will ask your grandma Hong to prepare a table of good food for you."

Luo Yuning nodded and said: "Okay, there are a lot of things in the past two days, after these two days, I will bother Grandpa Shang and Grandma Hong no matter what."

"..."

The two chatted for a while, and finally Shang Yunqing got back to the topic: "By the way, Yuning, you painted that painting of the Great Wall?
Grandpa Shang's eyes are getting worse and worse. I watched those videos on the Internet, but I didn't recognize you. "

Luo Yuning explained with a smile: "It's normal that you didn't recognize me. When I went out, I put on a little disguise, let alone you, my mother wouldn't even recognize me."

"Oh, that's it, I almost forgot, you kid is also a celebrity now, you need to dress up in disguise when you go out."

Shang Yunqing said with a smile: "Yesterday I saw that you were on the headlines. The name your grandfather gave you is probably rare in the whole country. As soon as I saw this name, I guessed it was you. Sure enough."

Luo Yuning smiled awkwardly and said, "Ahem, let's not talk about that, it's just a little misunderstanding."

Shang Yunqing continued: "Yu Ning, you have completely impressed Grandpa Shang today. I didn't expect you to have such a high level of attainment in painting. You have hidden it too deeply, kid."

"Ahem, is there any? I am used to keeping a low profile, and I don't like to be too public." Luo Rongning smiled perfunctorily.

Shang Yunqing smiled and said: "Oh? Really? Don't you like publicity? I see that when you educated that Korean man today, you were not low-key at all, very domineering."

Luo Rongning said: "In the face of the country's honor and disgrace, I can't bear it. Who told the Koreans to speak too much?"

"Good, good, good. Grandpa is very happy that you have this kind of thought. If all the young people in our country have the awareness like you, why don't you worry about being revived again."

Shang Yunqing paused for a moment, and continued: "Yunning, because of your grandfather's relationship, Grandpa Shang won't play around with you anymore.

Mr. Xu should have told you, I have had an indissoluble bond with the Great Wall since I was a child.

The first time I saw the Great Wall you painted, I fell in love with the artistic conception.

The price is still the price I told him before, are you willing to give up?

Of course, it is your freedom to sell it or not. Even if you don't sell it to grandpa, our relationship will not be affected in the slightest.

Although grandpa likes that painting, he will not force others to love him. "

Luo Yuning smiled heartily: "Grandpa Shang, what are you talking about? Why don't you buy it or not? Isn't it just a painting, I gave it to you!"

"Don't, don't, one size is worth one size. The relationship between our father and father is one thing, but buying paintings is another. Grandpa can't take advantage of you."

Shang Yunqing is not short of money, and he is not the kind of person who is greedy for petty gains, so naturally he would not prostitute Luo Yuning's paintings for free.

"Grandpa Shang, you are really alienating me and flattering me too much."

Luo Yuning smiled helplessly, and explained patiently: "Furthermore, that painting is not a precious thing to me.

I didn't put much energy into it. If I wanted to, I could draw eight or ten of him in a day with the same level and the same painting. "

"..."

The two shirked a lot, one insisted on giving it away for free, and the other insisted not to go whoring for nothing, and they were at loggerheads.

In the end, the two took a step back and settled the deal at an "acquaintance's price" of 20.

Luo Rongning finally said: "Grandpa Shang, it's getting late today, let's do it tomorrow.

Around 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will personally deliver to your door. "

Shang Yunqing smiled and said: "Okay, okay, then I will sweep the couch with your Grandma Hong to welcome you, and have two more drinks with grandpa at noon, so we can catch up on the old days."

Luo Rongning said: "Okay, let's go to your place. I don't treat myself as an outsider. If I don't drink well, I won't go home."

"That's right, it has the demeanor of your grandfather back then."

When Shang Yunqing thought of his deceased friend, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

After reminiscing about the old days and talking about the business, the two chatted on the phone for a few more words before ending the call.

"Master Luo, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner!"

Seeing that Luo Yuning had hung up the phone, Li Ruijia waved to him.

Luo Rongning and Shang Yunqing have been on the phone for nearly an hour.

During this period, Gao Min and Li Ruijia had already prepared dinner.

Today's dinner is winter melon ball soup, which is more healthy and relieves greasy, and it is also one of Gao Min's best dishes.

Although it is not as good as the dumplings made by Luo Yuning, it has a special flavor.

"Here we come." Luo Rongning responded with a smile, stepped forward and returned Xu Maocheng's cell phone to him, and then went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

After washing his hands, Luo Rongning sat next to Li Ruijia, and there was already a small porcelain bowl in front of him.

The porcelain bowl is full of meatballs and wax gourd, only a little soup can be seen.

Gao Min joked with a smile: "Look, your Jiajia loves you so much, all the balls in the pot are taken into your bowl."

"How can there be..." Li Ruijia blushed pretty, and felt a little embarrassed by Gao Min's words.

Compared to Li Ruijia, Luo Rongning's face is much thicker, and he joked with Lao Gao with a smile:

"Old Gao, I see that Uncle Xu has a lot of meatballs in his bowl. I blindly guess that someone who loves him must have filled it for him?"

Gao Min took it for granted: "Your Uncle Xu is still a patient, and you should eat more to supplement your nutrition."

Several people talked and laughed, and the dining atmosphere was very pleasant.

Gao Min's meatball soup, although not as good-looking as the one made by the five-star chef in the big hotel, tastes really good.

A few people climbed the Great Wall for a long time, exhausting their physical energy. In the evening, everyone had a big appetite. In the end, there was no soup left in the big pot of meatball soup, and they all finished eating and drinking.

After eating and drinking enough, Gao Min, Xu Kejing and Li Ruijia went to the kitchen to wash up together.

Luo Rongning and Xu Maocheng took the opportunity to sneak into the courtyard to smoke.

In the smog, watching the curling smoke, Luo Yuning was thinking about another question.

Before, because of Wu Mingshi's matter, Zhang Qian and his family decided to move to the capital. As Zhang Qian's friend, Luo Yuning naturally fully supported it.

He bought a house and a car again, and went all out to create a comfortable and livable environment for his family.

Gao Min and Xu Maocheng are also planning to stay in the capital because Xu Kejing is going to study in the capital, so that they can take care of them.

Luo Rongning also strongly supported the two to stay in the capital, and specially vacated the house in the Walden Lake villa area to Lao Gao and Lao Xu, and also equipped them with the cars they needed for travel.

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and all of this was fine before today.

Or, to be precise, it should be no problem before Luo Rongning got the stunt of [Zhong Ling Yuxiu].

At this moment, the skill [Zhong Ling Yuxiu] was drawn, and the problem appeared!

[Zhong Ling Yuxiu] The range of influence of this skill is limited to the surrounding areas of the Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Area, and it will have no effect outside this range.

According to the system description, after turning on the special effect of [Zhong Ling Yuxiu], the concentration of spiritual energy around the Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Area will increase by 100%, and it can be absorbed by the human body.

After the human body absorbs the aura of the scenic spot, it can not only strengthen the body, but also prolong life.

Luo Rongning naturally didn't want his mother and Lao Xu to miss such a good "buff".

[Zhong Ling Yuxiu] plus [Fountain of Life], under the blessing of these two powerful special effects.

For people living around the scenic spot, is it easy to live to be 80 years old?

"Now, how should I tell Lao Gao and Lao Xu?"

While smoking a cigarette, Luo Rongning was thinking of countermeasures in his heart.

When something good happens, he naturally thinks about his closest relatives.

But, well, it can't be said clearly.

The two of them have just settled down here in the capital, and they have a house and a car, and suddenly they want to go back to the scenic spot with him?

Isn't it too childish to go back and forth like this?
"What's the matter, Yuning? I think you seem to have something on your mind. Is it because of the phone call with that old man just now?"

Seeing Luo Yuning's frowning look, Xu Maocheng took the initiative to ask with concern.

Luo Yuning shook his head with a smile, and flatly denied, "No, I had a good chat with Grandpa Shang at that time, and I was thinking about something else."

Xu Maocheng smiled and said, "Would you mind talking to Uncle? Maybe I can give you some enlightening suggestions."

Luo Rongning turned to look at Xu Maocheng, really not knowing how to speak to him.

Jingle bell, jingle bell--!

When Luo Rongning was hesitating how to speak, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

He took out his mobile phone and saw that the name on the caller ID was "Director Liang".

Director Liang, also known as Liang Dingxiang.

She was the first batch of veteran employees recruited into the scenic spot after Luo Yuning took office as the general manager of the scenic spot.

Under the influence of Luo Rongning's charismatic personality and super high salary, this group of employees is the most devoted to him.

What is Director Liang doing calling himself at this time?
"Uncle Xu, I'll answer the phone first."

Luo Rongning said something to Xu Maocheng, connected the phone with a swipe of his finger, and greeted Liang Dingxiang with a smile.

"Hey Director Liang, have you had dinner yet?"
