After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Chapter 3
This landscape bonsai has three hills.

There is a mountain temple in the middle, connected to another tall and majestic mountain peak, giving the feeling of many mountains.

There is also an independent building on the other side, connected by low peaks in the middle.

This noisy sound came from that relatively independent mountain peak.

Xu Boan followed the sound and clearly perceived everything that happened there.

It's like a 360-degree omnidirectional God's perspective, with the feeling of a high-definition telescopic lens, which is more comprehensive than direct sight.

On the cliff behind that mountain peak, a group of monkeys were playing.

The cliffs are not green at all due to drought, but these monkeys are still agile and rely on the dead branches and stone gaps on the cliffs to chase each other as if they were walking on flat ground.

Xu Boan's eyes suddenly widened.

Not because I saw these monkeys, but because many of the dry branches on the cliff were Thuja.

You must know that Thuja cypress bracelets and Thuja root carvings are very popular nowadays.

Moreover, natural Thuja ornaments can sell for astronomical prices.

Not long ago, the head of a concrete station of a highway project department under the company accidentally came across a dragon-shaped Thuja root on the construction site and sold it for a sky-high price of 500 million.

This incident aroused the Thuja craze throughout the company, and almost every man had a string of Thuja beads on his plate.

Xu Boan looked at the thuja trees on the cliff with feverish eyes, scanning them one by one.

Soon, a strange-looking thuja tree caught Xu Boan's attention.

Almost all the branches of this thuja tree were broken and there were not many left.

But there are many roots squeezed out from the cracks in the stone.

Two of the thick roots are entangled together, like two birds flying together.

Xu Bo'an's expression brightened, and he raised his hand to touch the cliff.

With a quick click of his fingernail, Xu Boan easily pried off the strange-looking root art.

It wasn't until he took it out and put it in his hand that Xu Bo'an was a little dumbfounded.

Forgot a big question.

After all, this thing is a bonsai thing, only a few millimeters in size.

If you can't even pull out a hand-strung bead, what's the use of this thing?
As soon as Xu Boan finished his thoughts, he saw that the thuja in his palm, which was originally only a few millimeters, began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xu Boan was startled and hurriedly put the little thing on the ground.

In just a few minutes, Xu Bo'an witnessed the changes in this thuja tree from small to large.

The thuja root art, which was originally only a few millimeters in size, now turned into a normal size of more than one meter long and half a meter wide.

After the natural roots are enlarged, the details on them become clearer and look more lifelike.

baby!It is definitely a top-grade Thuja root art.

Xu Boan picked up his cell phone and quickly took a few photos of the Thuja cypress in front of him.

Then he sent it to a WeChat friend.

This is a partner of Dongjiang Auction House, who also runs two pawn shops. He had previously done earthwork business on Xu Boan's project.

The other party's reply was very fast.

"Mr. Xu, you are really lucky. This is definitely the best!"

As a middle-aged man, and after working in intrigues on construction sites for so many years, Xu Bo'an has already developed a calm state of mind.

But at this moment, I still couldn't help but grin.

"Evaluate the price!"

The reply was as fast as ever: "Ten million dollars, maybe 2000 million, if you are willing to put it up for auction with my brother, all commissions will be waived."

"Okay, when will the filming start?" Xu Bo'an asked quickly and neatly.

"You are really a dear brother. Tonight's monthly auction is just the right time. The seller of the grand prize just regretted withdrawing it. This treasure of yours is just a good opportunity for my little brother."

The smile on Xu Boan's lips became even wider.

The financial freedom you have been looking forward to for half your life is finally here.

But, how do you take this thing out?

Looking at the large thuja, Xu Bo'an felt worried.Keeping wealth private is a traditional virtue in China.

Such a big thuja, if it were carried out openly, it would spread throughout the company in less than half an hour.

If only it could be smaller.

As soon as Xu Bo'an finished his thoughts, he saw that the thuja gradually became smaller and quickly returned to its original size, only a few millimeters.

This... Ruyi Golden Cudgel is nothing more than that.

Xu Boan tried two more times before discovering the pattern of things inside the bonsai.

The largest is the size of the real world, and the smallest can be reduced to the size of the item itself in the bonsai.

Moreover, Xu Boan pinched the monkey and the little snake and found that the living creatures could not be taken out, but the little snake could.

It's just that Xu Bo'an didn't dare to make the snake bigger. After it became bigger, it would be a giant python, which would scare a person to death!
Xu Bo'an carefully found a piece of glasses cloth, wrapped the shrunken thuja, and put away the bonsai with a thought before leaving the company.

Xu Boan did not go directly to the auction house. Instead, he went to a car rental company and rented an off-road vehicle.

Xu Bo'an originally had a car, but when he got divorced, he had to "clean up and leave the house" and it was gone.

After renting the car, Xu Boan took out the thuja plant and put it in the trunk, and drove to the auction house.

When Xu Bo'an arrived, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was already waiting at the door of the auction house.

This person is the auction house shareholder Xu Boan contacted, Zhao Yuntao.

After a few simple greetings, Xu Boan was welcomed to the VIP room.

The thuja plant was also handed over to Zhao Yuntao.

The docking of details is not a problem.

In short, by the time the auction ended, Xu Bo'an had become a multi-millionaire worth as much as 100 million.

Twenty-one million is the auction price of Thuja root art.

Yes, Xu Boan was almost penniless.

All properties, including houses and cars, were found to have been transferred by the ex-wife during the divorce.

Xu Bo'an, who knew well that wealth should not be exposed, did not share this joy with others. He returned to his residence and drank a bottle of Dongjiang wine aged for 30 years.

There was no talking all night, until Xu Boan was woken up by the ringing of the phone, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

The content of the phone call was very simple. The old mother helped Xu Boan make an appointment for a blind date.

The two parties made an appointment to meet at Wanda Plaza.

"Mom. Okay, I'll pack up and go over."

As a member of the company's leadership team, Xu Bo'an usually doesn't need to go to the company on time when there is nothing important.

When we arrived at Wanda Plaza, a car show was being held in the square.

A number of beautiful car models were unveiled along with new cars of various brands, which attracted many people to stop and watch.

Xu Bo'an was busy going on a blind date. He took a brief look at the rows of long... big white... big cars and then left.

The meeting place for the blind date was a clothing store.

The place sounds strange, but it makes sense because Xu Boan's blind date is the owner of this clothing store.

The blind dates of middle-aged people are not as particular about procedure and style as those of young people.

First, add WeChat to pretend to be reserved and talk about hobbies, ideals and ambitions, love experiences, education and career to see if the so-called three views are suitable.

Then find a place with a petty bourgeois atmosphere such as a coffee shop to meet, and check out the so-called affinity. The main thing is to talk about each other's financial level and family strength.

If you do this for a year and a half, it won't work.

Ordinary middle-aged people don’t have such trouble dating.

Most of them pursue good health and job stability.The main thing is to be financially independent and take care of yourself.

If possible, we can meet a few times and settle down in ten and a half months.

If it doesn't work, just replace it with the next one as soon as possible. Don't waste anyone's precious time.

After all, when people reach middle age, their limited healthy life can be said to be almost half in the past.

A year and a half of tug-of-war cannot afford to be wasted.
