A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 254 Li Huaide's plan
The man immediately became anxious when he heard what He Yukai said. Whether his family could live in a high-rise building depended on the price of this painting. When he accidentally found this painting, he was ecstatic!

During the difficult times, some of the yellow goods hidden in the family were exchanged for food. Now that society is getting better and better, they don’t have much stock left. Except for a courtyard house with its own entrance and yard, there is nothing else!

Hou Polan believed in He Yukai's vision. Since He Yukai said it was wrong, there must be something wrong. He felt it was wrong because of the age of the painting. According to his eyesight, the painting was so old that it was about a hundred years old. If calculated by that, it was indeed not enough time!

The time doesn't match, but the man was so sure that the painting was authentic because he found it in a very tricky place. He had to admire his ancestors' ability!
The painting was in the corner of the kang, where smoke was leaking. He originally planned to take it down and put it back together again, but after digging it up, he found a box on the ground. After cleaning it, he discovered that it was made of huanghuali. He immediately felt that the contents inside were extraordinary. He asked someone who knew about old stuff to describe the contents of the painting, and he got an ecstatic answer: the painting was a picture of a tiger descending the mountain by Tang Bohu!
He knew he had made a fortune, which most people didn't have. He had been wandering around the flea market with the painting these days, hoping to run into Hou Laolao. He knew Hou Laolao was obsessed with old stuff, and he also had the ability to get it!

Unexpectedly, he met the person, but before he could be happy, he got a painful answer that made him realize that the thing was not right, which meant it was a fake!
He Yukai said that the thing was wrong because it was in his hand. His identification was entirely based on his experience, and his experience told him that the thing was wrong!

"Give your opinion!"

"Tang Bohu's "A Tiger Descending the Mountain" is a silk painting with a color on it, measuring 240 cm in height and 76 cm in width. It is said to be collected by the National Palace Museum in Taipei. The painting shows a big tiger with hanging eyes and a white forehead running down the mountain. Its appearance and muscles are vividly brought out by Tang Bohu, giving people a powerful and realistic feeling!
Although this painting is also a picture of a tiger descending from a mountain, it does not have that realistic feeling. It only has the shape but not the spirit. It is obviously the result of imitation by later generations. I estimate that it is a copy from the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Although it is not as valuable as Tang Bohu's original work, it can be regarded as a fine copy!"

He Yukai didn’t know how many paintings of tigers descending the mountain that Tang Bohu had painted, but he was certain that the one in his hand was the real one. Of course, he couldn’t say that the one in Taipei was fake!

Polanhou nodded. He Yukai was right. It was impossible to verify whether the painting of a tiger descending the mountain was painted by Tang Bohu. Tang Bohu was mainly good at painting landscapes, figures, flowers and birds!
Especially the paintings of ladies were more prominent, and there were very few paintings of tigers. However, he had seen one on the black market many years ago, and he was sure that it was from Tang Bohu. Unfortunately, it was taken away by a greenhorn using his money!

Wait, why is that person's style so much like He Yukai? He Yukai likes to use price to win when he sees something he likes, but according to him and Uncle Guan, He Yukai at that time had not formally learned to appraise treasures and collect them. Then he shook his head and said, "Who cares? If it's lost, it's lost. Even if it was He Yukai who took it, would he admit it?" The broken man shook his head and smiled bitterly!
"My Lord, how much is this painting worth?"

"If you ask me to bid, I can only offer 500, no more. After all, the Qing Dynasty copy lacks the charm, and it is no longer useful except for studying copying techniques!"

"this..."

The man felt that the painting was tattered and wanted to buy it at a low price. He looked at He Yukai with hope, wanting to hear He Yukai's opinion. However, He Yukai was not interested in the painting and didn't even look at him!

"Okay, go ask someone else. What if I want to take advantage of you?"

After saying this, Hou Polan left without any desire to stay. The two of them left the flea market and prepared to go home. They didn't get anything today, but it was worth the trip to see the copied painting of a tiger descending the mountain!
After Li Huaide arrived in Beijing, he sent people to inquire about Chen Jianjun's personality and preferences. He wanted Chen Jianjun to give up his job at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and go to Jingdezhen with him, but he couldn't convince him without sufficient reasons!
Even though Li Huaide had been away from the capital for many years, it was still difficult for him to find someone here, of course, with money paving the way!
This time he wanted to set up a trap so as not to let He Yukai find out. The lesson from the last time was profound, and he had a deeper understanding of "If a ruler is not careful, he will lose his minister, and if a minister is not careful, he will lose his chastity"!
"Director Li, I have found out everything about Chen Jianjun!"

"Say!"

"this..."

The visitor did not directly tell Li Huaide what he had learned, but looked at him hesitantly. His meaning was very clear: he couldn't let him work for nothing, right?
At least he should get the agreed compensation. If it weren't for the money, who would run errands for a person who is already out of date?
Li Huaide took out a stack of money and placed it in front of him. It was estimated that there were dozens of yuan. The man told Li Huaide the news he had found out and turned to leave. The woman was too seductive and he didn't dare to stay for long!
As expected of Li Huaide, he had no shortage of women when he was in the factory, and now that he is out of fashion, he still has beautiful women following him, which is amazing...

According to the information Li Huaide obtained through analysis, Chen Jianjun’s personality is really unusual!
After graduating from junior high school, he studied hard and was admitted to university. You should know that it was just after a special period when educated youth went to the countryside and put down their textbooks for a long time. The admission ratio was ten to one. As a junior high school student, Chen Jianjun was able to be admitted to university despite competing with so many old third-year students. This shows that he is smart and talented. This has surpassed many people. As far as he knows, many people have not been able to enter university as they wished.
The first college entrance examination is still quite difficult and requires intelligence and perseverance, which shows that Chen Jianjun's learning ability is not weak. Without perseverance and self-control, he would not be able to calm down and study seriously, and it would be impossible for him to be admitted to university.

How many people fail at the last minute due to lack of self-control? It can be said that the number is countless. People with self-control and perseverance may not necessarily succeed, but Li Huaide knows that successful people definitely have these two qualities!
Take He Yukai for example. He Yukai is the most self-controlled person he has ever seen. He does not covet women and has his own plans for every step. As long as He Yukai behaves a little bit special during a special period, he will take He Yukai down even at the risk of offending the people behind He Yukai!
This guy is also a romantic man. He has done so many erotic things for Su Meng in their compound. Although the methods may not be very glorious, he has been constantly thinking of ways and working hard to pursue the person he likes, including constantly improving his status and following He Yuzhu's apprentice Han Chunming. All of these behaviors show that this person is very similar to him.

They will do anything to achieve their own goals. To put it bluntly, they can abandon the moral bottom line for the sake of profit. This is rare, at least Li Huaide attaches great importance to this!
According to the mysterious man, this person is also stubborn and will not admit defeat. Once he sets his mind to something, he will work hard to achieve it even if it means getting hurt. This is also what he admires!
Li Huaide believes that Chen Jianjun already has some necessary conditions for success, what he lacks is a platform, and he is the mentor!
However, his shortcomings are also obvious. Compared with him, Chen Jianjun is much less broad-minded. If this is not handled well, he may fail when encountering major events!

Because of Su Meng's "preference" for Han Chunming in love, Chen Jianjun became deeply jealous of Han Chunming, his childhood friend, and even wanted to find an opportunity to retaliate. From this point of view, Chen Jianjun has fallen into a disadvantage.

You haven't even investigated who He Yukai is, and you want to trip up Han Chunming. Are you overthinking it? Besides, as long as you have money, what kind of woman can't you get?

From the information given to him, it can be analyzed that this so-called Miss Su Meng has such a bad temper. Could it be that Chen Jianjun just wants to show that he is better than Han Chunming?
If this is the case, then Chen Jianjun is very childish. Such people are easily dominated by jealousy, and if not handled properly, there will be endless troubles!

His plan is a huge one. If it is realized, it will surely bring about a renaissance in the Beijing collecting community. Then he can retire in Hong Kong Island!

Li Huaide also felt tired. He was over fifty years old and he was working hard to have a comfortable old age. After seeing the prosperity of Hong Kong Island and the importance of money, Li Huaide believed that as long as he had money, he would be a guest of honor even at the Bald Eagle's place!
As for the so-called saying one thing in public and another behind the scenes, he may behave relatively normal when getting along with everyone in the courtyard, but do all kinds of bad things behind the scenes. Li Huaide does not think this is a bad thing. Only smooth people can handle complicated relationships with ease.

"Old Li, what have you been thinking about for so long? A young man like this shouldn't need you to think about it for so long, right?"

"Hey, this guy is interesting, take a look!"

Li Huaide took out a cigar and lit it. He found that Chen Jianjun was a double-edged sword, and if he was not careful, he might hurt others and himself!

But after much thought, I have to say that Chen Jianjun is indeed worth using. It all depends on whether he can control this young man!
"Old Li, this young man is hard to control. Are you sure you can use him for your benefit?" "That depends on whether I have enough leverage. He is my pawn. We can't show our heads directly this time. The laws of Shenzhou are becoming more and more sound. We'd better be careful!"

"I'm afraid this person won't work for you obediently, and it will be troublesome if he backfires!"

"That depends on whether I can use this person properly. If I use him properly, Chen Jianjun's every move will be under my control!"

Then Li Huaide put a piece of information and a photo in front of You Fengxia. Li Huaide didn't expect that the man was so capable that he could even investigate such a thing. He knew this girl. Thinking of the woman who used to serve him, Li Huaide smiled slightly. He didn't expect that she would be related to your daughter. Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu, let your daughter pay for the trouble you caused me!
That’s right, these materials show Xiaodang’s information. The man Xiaodang knew was Chen Jianjun. After Chen Jianjun was beaten by Su Meng, he found a place to drink. Xiaodang, who had been looking for Chen Jianjun, met him again!
This time, Xiao Dang made full use of his advantages and slept with Chen Jianjun, and kept the evidence. After Chen Jianjun went to the pub, Xiao Dang found a place to rent a camera, and the naked photos were kept by Xiao Dang!

Afterwards, Xiao Dang did not tell Chen Jianjun that she had left evidence, and used tears to force Chen Jianjun to marry her. Chen Jianjun was afraid that Xiao Dang would go to their unit and cause trouble, causing him to lose his job, so he had no choice but to agree!
Chen Jianjun has tried to persuade his parents to agree. Xiaodang has no job, and Chen Jianjun's parents are very unhappy, but they can't resist Chen Jianjun's pleading and have to agree!

Li Huaide smiled as he held the information. The information showed that Xiaodang helped Chen Jianjun walk into a room and did not come out all night. He knew that many aspects of this were the result of that person's speculation.

But Li Huaide believed that something unspeakable must have happened between Chen Jianjun and Xiaodang, because the information also recorded the fate of Qin Huairu's family. Xiaodang was Qin Huairu's daughter, and she probably learned all of Qin Huairu's tricks. How could she miss this opportunity?
Li Huaide smiled slightly when he thought of this. He was ready to contact Xiaodang and force her to do his bidding. He knew that Xiaodang would never gamble her future!

"You are Xiao Dang, right?"

"I'm Xiao Dang, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm Director Li from the former Red Star Steel Mill. I guess you've heard of me?"

"Your name is well-known. May I ask who you are looking for?"

"This is not the place to talk. There's a small restaurant over there. Let's talk inside!"

Xiaodang hesitated. She knew that Li Huaide was not a good person. It was not a good thing to have contact with such a person. Xiaodang, who had experienced many ups and downs, was wary of anyone!
She wanted to surpass He Qian, but the He family was becoming more and more powerful. Looking at the restaurants opened all over Beijing, she knew that she could not compare with them. Compared with He Qian, she was not even an ugly duckling!
But the reality is cruel. She has been looking for opportunities, but such opportunities are rare. Now Li Huaide has shown up. She is not clear about Li Huaide's purpose. If she is harmed by this man, will she still have a chance to surpass He Qian and stand in front of He Qian to ridicule He Qian?

From this point we can see that Xiaodang and Chen Jianjun are basically the same kind of people. It is true that birds of a feather flock together!

"If you don't come, you will regret it. I'll be waiting for you over there!"

"I..."

Xiao Dang was originally preparing to say something, but Li Huaide didn't give her the chance at all. She had no idea what Li Huaide had mastered. She was about to marry Chen Jianjun, which was her hope of survival, and she didn't want any setbacks!

She gritted her teeth and followed him. No matter what, Li Huaide couldn't do anything to her in the restaurant!
"see this!"

Li Huaide took out Xiaodang's information. Xiaodang took it suspiciously, and then his face changed drastically. How did Li Huaide know all this?
Although she is much better now, her behavior of helping a man to his residence would be very disadvantageous to her if it were to be spread out. Chen Jianjun's parents finally gave in. She must not let them know at this critical juncture, otherwise they would definitely think that she is an indecent woman, and it would be difficult for her to enter Chen Jianjun's home again!

"Director Li is really amazing. He can get such secret information after leaving Beijing for so many years. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Why do you think I'll let you do it?"

"I don't think I have anything that Director Li would be interested in. Apart from asking me to do something for you, I really can't think of any other reason that could make Director Li so interested in me!"

"Why not your body?"

"How can Director Li not have a woman by his side? I am a weak girl, I don't think I can catch Director Li's eye. With such a beautiful woman by your side, how can he still be interested in me?"

"How did you know?"

"I saw you guys when you left the station, but I can't be sure it was Director Li in person!"
