Uncle Wu slapped his head when he heard this: "It's my fault. I've been really busy recently. I went out some time ago. Go back and tell your grandfather that I will go see him as soon as I have time." Li Beibei smiled and said: "Haha, Uncle Wu Don¡¯t take it seriously. My grandfather is like that. He likes to be lively as he gets older. I don¡¯t even think about it. When I was a child, he acted like he wouldn¡¯t let strangers in. As a result, my uncle and aunt were not close to him. I think this situation was all caused by him back then." Uncle Wu laughed and scolded: "You are a kid, no matter how old you are, how can you say that to your grandpa? Be careful when I tell him." "Uncle Wu. , Stop it!" Li Beibei acted coquettishly when Uncle Wu said this. Chu Chen was speechless for a while. But he didn't know that his appearance was seen by the sharp-eyed Li Beibei, which made her very dissatisfied and thought, why is this person so annoying! So she thought for a moment and said: "By the way, Uncle Wu, my grandfather didn't invite you to his eightieth birthday. Now I will formally inform you, please be sure to come, and this brother Xiao Chu , we should go together then. Brother Xiao Chu, since you are so good at antiques, you can¡¯t just leave empty-handed. The gift must be worthy of your knowledge.¡± Chu Chen heard this. I'm a little dumbfounded. It's okay to celebrate my birthday by myself, and it's okay to bring gifts. But I still need a gift worthy of my own knowledge. Doesn't she mean that she wants me to give me a valuable antique? They don't have a particularly close relationship, so this request is completely unreasonable. This woman is really unreasonable. ¡°I¡¯m not that stupid, I can just choose any acceptable gift when the time comes. Uncle Wu ignored their Xiao Jiujiu and said with a smile: "You kid, you are so lazy. It's not a wedding banquet. We need to notify you a few months in advance. Do you think you can officially go to Uncle Wu's house to inform you then? You can still fall off your body." Are you still worried about what happened back then?" Uncle Wu actually got it right. Li Beibei still really feels bad about that joke back then. To her, the ugliness was so great that now whenever she recalls that scene, she still feels hatred towards Wu Ke. So after listening to what Uncle Wu said, she blushed a little and started to hesitate when speaking. Fortunately, at this time, Liu Qinshu walked out of the room, and Li Beibei quickly changed the subject and said: "Aunt Shu, has Grandpa Liu settled down? I heard that the elderly have backache and lack of calcium. You also give him supplements in this regard. , It should be useful." Seeing this, Liu Qinshu felt a little strange, when did Li Beibei become so careful? Could it be that he has grown up? So she smiled and said: "Beibei, I didn't expect you to know how to care about people. It seems that you are going to grow up." After hearing this, Li Beibei said coquettishly: "No way, I have always cared about Mr. Liu, okay? Okay, Aunt Shu, you said that as if I was a child before." "Okay, okay, Aunt Shu said it wrong." After Liu Qinshu joked, she said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, let's sign the contract. "When the old man entered the house, he was still talking about your things." "Hey!" Chu Chen slapped his forehead, "Why didn't I remind Mr. Liu just now and let him take it?" Liu Qinshu said with a smile. : "It's not your fault. Even if we have negotiated, but the deal has not been completed, my dad will not take it. This is a matter of his principles." Mr. Liu's persistence made Chu Chen sigh. Like them Such older generations often have certain principles and beliefs in their hearts, and they consistently adhere to them in their daily work and life. This is the most worthy of their admiration and learning. Some people nowadays, for the sake of money and so-called hobbies, even lose the bottom line of being a human being. This has to make people wonder whether it is the progress of civilization or the regression. "Here, here is the transfer agreement. We also need to trouble Ziping and Beibei to be the middlemen." Liu Qinshu handed the contract to Chu Chen as he spoke. Chu Chen was already very familiar with this kind of agreement. He looked at it briefly and signed his name. After that, Uncle Wu and others also signed their names as witnesses. However, the bank was closed today and the transfer could not be completed, so Liu Qinshu issued a check for Chu Chen. In this way, a million-level transaction was completed quickly and simply. Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh, the money was really easy to come by. Afterwards, Liu Qinshu smiled and said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, my dad just told me that if you have time, you can come and see him from time to time." "Really?!" Chu Chen didn't expect that his wish would be fulfilled like this. Now that Mr. Liu can accept him, it will undoubtedly be of great help to his development in the antique industry. This makes him so excited that he doesn't know what to say.It¡¯s so good, I can only express my gratitude to Liu Qinshu again and again. Seeing this, Uncle Wu was also happy for him. It was both gratifying and proud to be able to watch the junior grow up step by step. Li Beibei was very envious and jealous when she saw this. Although she was familiar with Mr. Liu, she could only come to Mr. Liu's house occasionally. The reason why she came to see Mr. Liu for appraisal this time was because her grandfather was celebrating his birthday. Seeing Chu Chen coming here for the first time and being treated like this, how could she not be jealous. Liu Qinshu smiled faintly: "Xiao Chu, don't thank me. If you want to thank me, thank you for your rich knowledge. Otherwise, my dad will look down on you. Don't you think so?" Uncle Wu saw Chu Chen looking like a silly smile. , and said with a smile: "Qin Shu, since everything has been settled, let's say goodbye." "Okay, you guys remember to come over and play sometimes." After coming out of Mr. Liu's residence, Li Beibei because she had The car took them straight home. "Beibei, it's almost noon, why don't you come to my house for a quick meal before leaving." Uncle Wu suggested after getting out of the car. Li Beibei smiled and said, "No need, I have something to do at home today, so I'll bother you next time." "Okay, be careful on the road." Uncle Wu heard what she said and didn't force it. "Yeah!" After Li Beibei answered, she turned to Chu Chen and said: "Brother Xiao Chu, I heard that you are very good at kung fu, so let's make some plans when we have time. I will call you after I decide the time and place. About this We made an agreement, don¡¯t lie about it!¡± As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, she drove away in her car before she could even answer. Seeing this situation, Chu Chen really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This woman was really too domineering. She didn't give others a chance to refuse at all. With her character, it's no wonder she was hated by Wu Ke, not to mention Wu Ke, but himself. It's all a bit unbearable. "This girl, it seems that she has transferred all of Xiaoke's dissatisfaction to you. However, Xiaoke and you will become a family in the future. You just have to work harder and let her vent. But be careful not to let her vent. I'm injured, otherwise Xiao Ke won't be able to spare me." Seeing this, Uncle Wu started joking again. Chu Chen couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Uncle Wu, you're here again! But it doesn't matter if I compete with her, but I'm not happy to let me just defend passively, and I believe Xiaoke won't agree." "Okay, when you get there. Just remember, don't beat her too badly, it will not look good on our old Wu family." Uncle Wu said with a smile, he was quite confident in Chu Chen's skills, remembering that Chu Chen had just arrived in the capital not long ago. , when he encountered two enemies at one time, he would have knocked them down in just a few blows, not to mention that he had already broken through. Then Uncle Wu said: "Xiao Chen, since Mr. Liu has accepted you, you must work harder in your studies, and you must not be complacent. You must know that Mr. Liu has very high requirements for people. Seeing Chu Chen nod in agreement, he Then he said: "Do you have a meal for lunch today? If not, come to my house today to deal with the two of them, and we will also have a good drink. " "Okay, I haven't tasted my aunt's cooking for a long time. I'm going to have a craving for it today. But, Uncle Wu, I asked you if you are greedy because I gave you Maotai as a gift that day, so I said you want to drink two cups. "Chu Chen said cheerfully. "You kid! "Uncle Wu went up and gave him a roasted chestnut, "Am I that unbearable? I sound like an alcoholic. If you have the guts, don't drink for a while" The two of them walked into the house laughing and talking. * ********************************************* In the afternoon, Chu Chen also I had nothing to do, so I wanted to go shopping in Nancheng. On the one hand, I wanted to see if there were any calligraphy and painting works that Zhao Qirui would be satisfied with. On the other hand, I happened to go to an acquaintance to pick up some goods. I came to Baoguo Temple in Nancheng, which is now the capital. An emerging cultural market. In fact, as early as the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Baoguo Temple was the most famous book market in the capital, many years earlier than Liulichang Book Market, another famous cultural street in the capital. However, with the rise of Liulichang Book Market, Baoguosi Book Market gradually declined. It was not until the 1990s that Baoguo Temple Antique Market officially reopened. However, once it was launched, it became popular. It became famous all over the country for its civilian exchange and trading activities. In fact, from the opening of Baoguo Temple to the current gradual prosperity, Chu Chen happened to have experienced all of this personally. He and Uncle Wu also participated in the coin expo when it first opened. We came to visit together, but at that time he was still very immature in the antique business. Today is Sunday. Although because of the hot weather, there are not many customers here to hang out and shop, but compared to when it first opened. deserted scene, has undoubtedly become much more prosperous. Chu Chen recalled that the development of the book market was really like his own growth, and he felt very friendly. I went straight to the acquaintance¡¯s shop, but unexpectedly found that the door was closed. It didn¡¯t even open today. Seeing this, Chu Chen was very confused. What was going on? Did Lao Zhou go out to get the goods? Hey, if that's the case, then it was a waste of time. He immediately complained to himself that he didn't think of making a call before coming. It was really annoying to go to the hotel in vain on such a hot day.
