Hong Kong is in full swing
Chapter 79: Personal Arrival
"No." Cen Zhen took out his cell phone from his pocket.
"I'll call him now."
After putting on his reading glasses, he began to look through the address book to find a phone number, muttering: "Looking for Xiao Huo...Looking for Xiao Huo..."
Dai Weiyu pointed anxiously, "It's right there!"
"I know! Don't rush me!"
After the two old men bickered with each other for a while, Cen Zhen finally made the call.
The other party quickly picked up the phone, and a gentle voice came, "Is this Teacher Cen?"
"Yes, Xiao Huo. Have you eaten yet?"
"I have eaten. Teacher Cen, are you feeling better now?"
Mentioning this, Cen Zhen immediately had something to say, "Humph, your little girl simply doesn't know how to respect her elders. She almost killed me just now!"
Huo Chuyan smiled softly, his voice filled with tenderness and indulgence. "She's still young and doesn't know much. Aren't you happy too?"
"Of course I'm happy." Cen Zhen chuckled twice and said, "I never thought that at my age I could still play mahjong with others for three consecutive days. I really didn't expect it. Thank you, your girlfriend, for coming to accompany us old people."
"I also have to thank Teacher Cen for being so kind to her."
Dai Weiyu interjected, "It's not that we take care of her, she's very well behaved and we all like her very much."
Cen Zhen glared at her, "What are you getting involved in?"
Dai Weiyu was not to be outdone. "What's wrong? Are you pretending now? Who was that person leaning against the window just now to watch the car drive away?"
Cen Zhen felt a little embarrassed when her words hit the nail on the head, and wanted to argue with her.
Huo Chuyan smiled and said nothing.
Cen Zhen cleared his throat and said awkwardly, "Remember to bring her here again next winter solstice. Let's eat bacon together and play mahjong all night. Our Sichuan bacon is famous for its quality. It would be a shame not to try it."
Huo Chuyan agreed gently.
Cen Zhen added in a low voice, "We agreed that when people get old, each year they live counts."
Huo Chuyan replied softly, "Of course."
At the end of November, Yu Wan and Wei Size returned to Gangcheng.
As you enter the city from the border, you will see promotional advertisements for Duan Fei Gallery all along the way.
Yu Wan looked at these advertisements along the way and concluded: Duan Fei is mainly promoting antiques this time. Although Lan Guifang is also involved, her publicity is not prominent.
However, even so, the news that Lan Kwai-fang, the controversial artist, will make another appearance has spread everywhere, and has attracted considerable attention both online and offline.
Even Wei Size's father Wei Zhenting called him to ask whether Lan Guifang's comeback was true.
"You believe the Duan family when you say this?"
"Then do you think the girl in my shop is Lan Guifang?"
Wei Size did not deliberately avoid Yu Wan when he answered the phone, and Yu Wan just stood aside silently after hearing it.
Wei Size said slowly: "Anyway, Dad, you think I'm more trustworthy than those people out there, right?"
Wei Zhenting snorted, "Anyway, keep an eye on this matter for me. If there is any news, notify me immediately."
Wei Size asked, "You are so interested in Lan Guifang. What's so special about her?"
"You don't have that vision yet." Wei Zhenting looked mysterious.
Wei Size felt his father was exaggerating a bit, so he responded, "I understand. I'll let you know as soon as Lan Guifang makes any move."
"Keep a close eye on it."
Wei Size agreed to him.
After hanging up, Wei Size placed his phone on the counter and looked across at the gallery, which was undergoing intense renovations. "Duan Fei's promotional campaign was truly successful."
Regardless of whether it is true or false, the advertising effect has been achieved and it can be regarded as an effective marketing.
Yu Wan said beside him, "Another point we should note is that if even a fake of 'Serving the Plum Blossoms' can be made, then are these so-called antiques also fake?"
"There must be something fishy going on," Wei Size said. "Find an experienced appraiser. After all, it's not uncommon to call a deer a horse, and even make something fake sound real."
As expected, a few days later, Duan Fei Gallery publicly announced that it would invite the country's top cultural relics and antiques appraisal masters to appreciate antiques on the opening day.
At the same time, Lan Guifang opened her own Weibo account and posted that she would be collaborating with Duan Fei Gallery.
As soon as this post was published, the number of clicks instantly exceeded one million, and the comments below were also varied, many of which were critical voices.
Some people praised this as a "powerful alliance", but a lot of people complained that this behavior was "desperate for money."
Yu Wan sent a message to her acquaintances saying, "Lan Guifang's reputation is about to be ruined."
The man thought for a moment and said, "We've dealt with this before, but you know I can't just interfere. You should handle the fight against counterfeit goods first. If you can't resolve it, I'll ask Cuiying's agent to issue a statement."
"You're really good at ordering people around. You just threw such a difficult matter to me with just one sentence. We agreed that I would only be responsible for the details, and you would handle the rest."
"We're all family, why should we separate ourselves?" he said. "We've been friends for over a decade. What's wrong with you helping me out this time? After all, I've watched you grow up."
"Don't take advantage of me."
The man on the other side smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll take you to a barbecue after this is done."
"Cheapskate."
"There's no other way. The expenses are too high. I only have a few hundred Hong Kong dollars left." As he said this, he still wanted Yu Wan to give him some money.
Yu Wan was really helpless with this shameless man who loved to cry poor.
"You are the eldest son of the Lin family, and you still ask me for money? Aren't you ashamed?"
Lin Jintong laughed, "But it's true that I'm a pauper now."
Yu Wan smiled, swiped a few times on her phone, and transferred some money to him.
Lin Jintong quickly thanked him. Yu Wan told him about Duan Fei's counterfeiting of "Serving the Plum Blossoms" and asked, "Can you find the real buyer of "Serving the Plum Blossoms"?"
"not easy."
High-end auction houses are very strict in protecting customer privacy, but this is not what Lin Jintong is most worried about.
After thinking for a long time, he said, "I will start the investigation. As for dealing with the counterfeit goods, I'll leave it to you."
"Ok."
After the call ended, Wei Size pushed the door open and said, "Duan Fei is planning to open in three days. The brochure also said that Lan Guifang would be there in person."
After saying that, he placed the flyer in front of Yu Wan and said, "I want to see who he can impersonate as Lan Guifang."
"Few people outside know what Lan Guifang looks like. Since Duan Fei has a forger, he can have anyone he wants to be Lan Guifang."
"That kind of person must be hiding behind the scenes. Duan Fei won't let him show up." Wei Size analyzed, "What I'm more worried about now is that Duan Fei will make the situation too big. If it collapses, many people will be implicated."
Yu Wan stared at him for a while and said, "Actually, it has nothing to do with you, Young Master Wei."
