Mengbao's secret order, Daddy, you have to be good

Chapter 394 The Famous Mr. Bai
Li Xuan turned her head to look at Zong Zhe and Jiang Qi, and also smiled, "Yes, you are just two idiots."

Over there, after Zong Zhe and Jiang Qi scolded the national football team and complained, they heard that Fang Ju and Liang Ju were chatting with Guo Hong, so they walked over and listened carefully. These men were chatting about traditional Chinese painting.

Zong Zhe didn't understand this.

The little he knows about antiques is basically what he heard from Bai Shao and Guo Hong.

However, what they were talking about was not so much profound knowledge, but investment related to traditional Chinese painting.

When it comes to investment, Zong Zhe naturally understands it.

"Mr. Guo, I heard that the two Chinese paintings that your company auctioned off last year have increased in value by 50.00% this year."

Ju Liang seemed to know a lot about this, Zong Zhe took the skewers with great interest and listened to what they had to say.

"That shows that buyers have discernment!"

"Don't you think it's a pity?" Zong Zhe asked Liang Ju for help.

"What's the pity? Those who dare to buy those two paintings are people who know what to buy, and they are bosom friends."

Bai Shao, who brought two large plates of barbecue and fruit, leaned over to put the plates on the table, and turned to look at Guo Hong.

"Brother Hong, you are really in tune with my dad."

Guo Hong also laughed, "Of course, he is my master. If my tone changes, it means I am not good at learning and insulting my master."

The two were joking, but Fang Ju heard some clues, Fang Ju asked curiously.

"Mrs. Zong, so your father is Mr. Guo's master?"

Bai Shao said modestly, "Brother Hong praised my dad. When he was ten years old, he worked part-time and part-study in my small shop. In fact, how did my dad teach him anything? It's just child labor!"

Bai Shao doesn't want to go into details about his father.

A few years ago, my father was scammed and became a laughingstock in the industry. She didn't care what others thought about her father in secret, but she didn't want to hear someone say no to her father in front of her.

However, Bai Shao's reluctance to say it doesn't mean others can't figure it out.

This time, Ju Liang also reacted.

"Mrs. Zong's surname is Bai, right? Your father...could be Mr. Bai Xiangdong from L City, right?"

Bai Shao was a little helpless, but still smiled at him politely.

"Well, yes, I am his daughter."

Liang Ju took a serious look at her, then turned to look at Zong Zhe, "Mr. Zong, this is your fault."

Zong Zhe was a little dazed from the beginning to the end. He didn't understand a sentence of their conversation, but he didn't understand the meaning of their words.

"Ok?"

Liang Ju looked at Zongzhe's face full of question marks, and couldn't help being confused.

"Mr. Bai is well-known in the world of appreciating treasures! Zong Zong, don't you know?"

Liang Ju thought Zong Zhe was pretending, but Zong Zhe really didn't know.

He looked up at Bai Shao, but Bai Shao didn't respond, so he had no choice but to shift his gaze to Guo Hong.

Guo Hong nodded to him, "Yes, my master's appreciation is indeed very strong, especially in calligraphy and painting."

Zong Zhe has never been interested in antiques, so he knows little about people or things in that industry.

It's just that he doesn't even know that his future father-in-law is a famous calligrapher and painting connoisseur, which is really unreasonable.

"However, my master is a low-key person, and has basically been in retirement for the past few years, so it's normal for Brother Zong not to know."

After knowing Bai Shao's other identity, Liang Ju looked at Bai Shao in a different way.

"Mrs. Zong, you have heard and seen it since you were a child. You must be very good at this."

Bai Shao shook her head again and again, "Liang Ju, you're flattering me. I was naughty since I was a child, and I didn't learn half of my father's experience. Although, it's not that I don't know everything, but I just know it, and I haven't even learned the superficial aspect of appreciation."

Liang Ju was dubious, looked at Bai Shao and Zong Zhe, hesitant to speak.

Zong Zhe analyzed what Liang Ju's father-in-law said before, and vaguely guessed Liang Ju's intention to dig deep to confirm Bai Xiangdong's identity.

However, before Bai Shao's consent, he would not say anything for Liang Ju.

Guo Hong also seemed to have guessed Liang Ju's intention, so he helped Bai Shao cover it up.

"Xiao Shao really doesn't understand. She went abroad to study not long after graduating from high school. As for the antique appreciation industry, it takes time and calm down to think about it. She loves to move since she was a child, so how can she have the heart to learn? My master doesn't care about her. Ask, always think about girls, just grow up beautifully and happily."

What Guo Hong said made Liang Ju quite disappointed.

"It's a pity. I heard that 90.00% of the paintings and calligraphy authenticated by Mr. Bai are authentic. I thought Mrs. Zong had all the authentic ones."

Bai Shao secretly sighed inwardly, but unfortunately, that [-]% mistake not only smashed his father's golden lacquer signboard, but also made his father very depressed, and he was willing to become a small antique dealer in obscurity.

Bai Shao didn't want to delve further into the topic of her father, pointed to the barbecue on the table, greeted everyone that you are welcome, then turned and walked back to the barbecue pit.

After a while, while everyone was excited about eating and drinking, Liang Ju pulled Zong Zhe aside.

"Mr. Zong, can you pass a message to your father-in-law for me?"

Zongzhe thought to himself, it really is.

"Ju Liang, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that my father-in-law is not in City B right now."

Liang Ju nodded to express his understanding, "I know that Mr. Bai is from L City. If he is willing, my father-in-law and I can go to L City to find him."

Zong Zhe was actually in a bit of a dilemma. After all, Ju Liang and his father-in-law did him a big favor before, but now he just evades it, which is really unreasonable.

But he didn't want Bai Shao and Bai Xiangdong to be in trouble. From Bai Shao's reaction just now, it was not difficult to see that neither Bai Shao nor Bai Xiangdong seemed willing to get involved in the appreciation of antiques anymore.

If he guessed correctly, it should have something to do with the incident that Bai Xiangdong was framed by someone a few years ago and lost money by buying fake products?

"Liang Ju, my father-in-law is ill and is recuperating away from home. I'm afraid he won't be able to see anyone for a while."

Liang Ju didn't say anything, he lowered his head and thought about something.

Zong Zhe glanced at Guo Hong not far away, and the other party seemed to have sensed something, and turned his head to look over.

"Mr. Guo has a very unique vision. Didn't you want him to help you? He has already agreed to this matter. Since you are here today, you can discuss the time and place face to face."

Liang Ju also turned to look at Guo Hong, "Mr. Guo is of course very good, but in terms of appreciation of calligraphy and painting, I am afraid that no one in China can match Mr. Bai for the time being."

Zong Zhe always thought that his father-in-law was just a decadent little businessman with no ambitions, but he turned out to be a powerful person!
He was amazed in his heart, but he didn't show half of it on his face.

"Ju Liang, how about this, you make an appointment with Mr. Guo first, if the result is not satisfactory, let's think about the follow-up, okay?"

Zong Zhe didn't say anything to death, but he didn't dare to give Liang Ju too much hope.
