The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot
Chapter 83 - 83 83 This Painting Is FakeChapter 83: Chapter 83: This Painting Is Fake Chapter 83: Chapter 83: This Painting Is Fake Shen Boyi, as the eldest son of the Shen Family and the president of the Changrong Group, was so busy every day that his feet hardly touched the ground. He just happened to have a gold mine project that required him to fly out and oversee it, and the plane was about to take off.
But to him, accompanying his sister was more important. Qingwu was so gentle and kind; she would definitely be bullied if she went to the piano store and gallery alone.
Shen Boyi was not at ease. He forced himself to watch until Qingwu made the piano store manager submit before he was satisfied to leave.
As soon as he stepped out of the piano store, he immediately got on a motorcycle parked outside.
When Qingwu turned her head, she saw her big brother, dressed in a crisp suit, sitting on a sleek punk-style motorcycle. He was zooming towards the airport, with the wheels almost sparking from the speed…
Her big brother was only worried about her and made special time to accompany her. Thinking of this, Qingwu felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Just as she left the piano store, Qingwu received a call from the old man Shi Yujiang.
“Girl, just now some fool wanted to spend ninety million to buy that damaged zither I made before. He said it was to be a gift for his sister. Isn’t that crazy?”
Qingwu paused for a moment, smiled, and said, “Which family is buying it?”
“Let me see, the Shen Family in Beijing… Hey, isn’t that your family? Could it be that they bought that broken zither for you? No need! Didn’t I give you a much better Ancient Zither before?”
Shi Yujiang initially thought he had met a fool he could make a windfall from, but it turned out that it was Qingwu’s family trying to buy it.
Although he had a severe obsession with perfection for his works, he also cherished them. The zither he allowed for exhibition were pieces he considered defective, which only outsiders who didn’t understand would treat as treasures.
“I’ve fixed it for you; it’ll be a good zither in the future. Feel free to sell it if you want, but if the Shen Family wants it, charge them less.”
When Master Shi Yujiang heard that Qingwu had fixed the Ancient Zither, the wrinkles on his face disappeared with a smile.
“The Shen Family didn’t mention it was for you. You can take anything you want. This family seems nice to you?”
“Quite nice.”
The old man knew what Qingwu had gone through in the past and saw that the Shen Family treated her like a treasure, which made him feel at ease.
“That’s good. If they don’t treat you well, you can bring those unruly kids back; Beidou Star will take care of you.”
“Got it. I’ve found new jade for you. I’ll send it over once it’s finished.”
Master Shi Yujiang loved using jade to make Ancient Zithers. He demanded high quality and composition for the jade, and only Qingwu remembered all his habits, providing him with the best jade.
“Hey, I have an event to attend in Beijing next month. Can you accompany me?”
The old man’s voice was filled with some anticipation. He hadn’t seen Qingwu for a long time and missed her dearly.
“Yes.”
Several elders from Beidou Star were Qingwu’s teachers. They raised her and taught her knowledge from various fields since she was little. In their eyes, she was like one of their own children, just like the other geniuses at Beidou Star.
“Great, remember to prepare my favorite meal. See you then.”
“I’ll definitely remember, and I’ll arrange it all for you.”
Master Shi Yujiang hung up the phone with satisfaction, then immediately dialed Shen Jishi.
Shen Jishi had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the call came, he answered it.
“Master Shi, have you decided? My sister really likes that Ancient Zither; please name a price and sell it to us!”
“No, I won’t sell that zither.”
Shen Jishi got anxious, pacing around the office with his phone in hand.
“Master Shi, please consider it. No matter how much it costs, our family will pay!”
“It’s not about the money. I don’t lack money.”
Shi Yujiang indeed wasn’t moved by the money a single Ancient Zither would fetch.
“Then name your conditions. Whatever you ask, we’ll make it happen. Please trust in our Shen Family’s abilities.”
After listening for a while, Shi Yujiang was convinced that the Shen Family truly cared for Qingwu. Such concern couldn’t be faked, which relieved him.
“I have just one condition: the girl who wants that Ancient Zither must become my student!”
Shen Jishi’s eyes widened in an instant!
If Master Shi Yujiang was willing to take Xiaowu as his student…
Shen Jishi suppressed his inner excitement, his face beaming with joy, yet he remained calm and said, “No problem, but I need to ask my sister’s opinion first!”
Shi Yujiang nodded.
Not presumptuously agreeing for Qingwu and considering her feelings showed that the Shen Family’s upbringing was quite commendable.
Shen Jishi quickly called Qingwu.
Upon hearing Shi Yujiang’s demand, Qingwu was a bit taken aback but then agreed.
After all, the old man was already her teacher.
“Xiaowu, think it through. If you don’t want to, Fourth Brother won’t force you.”
“Don’t worry, Fourth Brother. I’m willing.”
“Good, good. Master Shi will attend an event in Beijing next month. He requested that you accompany him, and he’ll hold the apprenticeship ceremony then.”
“Okay.”
Shen Jishi, delighted, returned the call.
“Master Shi, we will take care of all your accommodations and travel on behalf of the Shen Family. Please rest assured.”
Shi Yujiang nodded in satisfaction, his impression of the Shen Family improving considerably.
“Consider that zither as a gift for the little girl to play with; I won’t charge for it. Next month, I’ll bring her an even better one.”
“Thank you very much, Master Shi!”
Elsewhere,
Qingwu stepped into the gallery.
The gallery organized by Zuo Jing’an was said to be an art gallery but was actually an art exhibition center, with dedicated areas for both paintings and sculptures.
After what happened at the piano store, Manager Tan Hua did not dare to disrespect Qingwu, taking her on a tour of the gallery.
“Miss, our gallery has eight floors. These two floors are rented out to some artists for exhibitions. Upstairs there’s a special exhibition area, as well as works monopolized by our gallery.”
Qingwu nodded, following Tan Hua around the gallery.
She stopped in front of an oil painting.
“Miss, this is the work of the famous oil painting master Ji Changfeng, ‘Spring River Flower Moon Night.’ Our gallery spent three hundred million to acquire it, and it is our treasure.”
Qingwu looked at the oil painting in front of her, slightly frowning.
If she wasn’t mistaken, ‘Spring River Flower Moon Night’ should still be in the old man Ji Changfeng’s bedroom. How did it end up here?
“Who was responsible for buying this painting?”
Tan Hua thought for a moment and waved to someone behind him, “Mi Zhe, come over.”
Mi Zhe, with a fisherman’s hat covering most of his face, walked up from behind, looking at Qingwu disdainfully.
She must be a clueless young lady. A new boss eager to make changes, who knows what trouble she plans to cause him.
“I bought it. What’s wrong? It took quite a bit of effort to auction this painting.”
Qingwu’s gaze was calm yet held a certain penetrating power, making Mi Zhe inexplicably break out in a cold sweat.
Tan Hua was unsure of the new boss’s intentions and leaned in to ask, “Miss, do you have any instructions?”
Qingwu withdrew her gaze and coldly said, “This painting is a forgery.”
