Hong Kong is in full swing

If it were just ordinary market competition, it would be fine, but now that you know Duan Fei focuses on cultural relics, this has nothing to do with you. You just need to do your business and there's no need to get involved.

Wei Size smiled and said, "What can I do?"

"My old man is a loyal fan of Lan Kwai Fong."

"I can't just stand by and watch him use Lan Kwai Fong's name to deceive people."

Yu Wan looked at him for a while, then said, "Lan Guifang will remember your kindness."

Wei Size winked at her and smiled, "Then please ask Manager Yu to put in a few good words for Teacher Mei."

Yu Wan didn't say anything else that day. She turned around and gave Wei Size another painting by Lan Guifang, asking him to take it back to cheer the old man up.

"You picked this up at a street stall, didn't you? You just casually threw it to me."

Yu Wan smiled and said, "I happen to have this one on hand, you can take it."

Wei Size felt that she was like a wholesaler, but at the same time he felt that she was very generous to him.

As he put the painting away, Wei Size said, "I can't let you suffer any loss, so I can't take this painting for free."

"Don't worry about it." Yu Wan said, "Since opening the gallery, everything has gone smoothly thanks to you."

At the beginning, she gave "Good Luck Star" as a gift to the villa on the top of the mountain as a bargaining chip for cooperation. From then on, the two of them opened a gallery together and divided the profits equally.

She is responsible for internal affairs, while Wei Size is responsible for external sales.

It seems that she is at a disadvantage, but it is not actually calculated that way.

If you really want to break it down, it was thanks to Wei Size that she was able to find a foothold in such a fiercely competitive steel city and recover her initial investment in just a few months.

It can be said that without Wei Size, her gallery would not have been able to last long. Even if it could continue to operate, it probably would not make much money.

Yu Wan said, "Mr. Wei, I'm so grateful to you for this period of time."

Wei Size stared at her for a long time and said with a smile, "You really are different from others."

He actually doesn't lack money.

The dividends from the stocks he holds each year are already a huge sum of money.

But there is a saying in Hong Kong: if there is money to be made, you should make it.

As a result, he was so focused on making money that he ended up being trapped.

Wei Size laughed and felt as if he had fallen into a pit. He wanted to try hard to climb out, but after a few words and glances, he felt the ground under his feet became even slippery.

But she seemed to be unaware of this and her mind was full of that other person.

"Keep up the good work, partner."

Yu Wan responded, "Okay, happy cooperation."

In the evening, Duan Fei walked over from across the street and chatted with the two of them. Then, under their urging, he confessed that he still wanted to invest in her gallery and invited the two companies to run it together. He even wanted to bring Wei Size to join.

Wei Size glanced at him and said, "Mr. Duan, your sincerity is lacking. The business is about to open, and now you think of looking for me."

“No good thing is too late.”

Wei Size declined, "Whether this is a good opportunity or not depends on the circumstances. My funds are a bit tight right now, and I plan to use this gallery to recoup some of my capital, so I won't participate."

"In that case, there's nothing we can do." Duan Fei smiled, "Maybe we really aren't suitable for cooperation."

Wei Size expressed some regret.

Yu Wan stood up to see them off.

A few days later, Duan Fei held a grand opening ceremony and invited many celebrities.

Flashlights flashed continuously, and various lenses, both long and short focal lengths, rushed to record these big names who caused a sensation in Hong Kong Island.

Yu Wan unexpectedly spotted Lin Congjue and raised her eyebrows to say to Wei Size, "It seems that Duan Fei is quite respected among you guys."

Lin Congjue didn't show up when they first opened the business.

Wei Size's expression remained calm, as he felt that Lin Congjue might not be genuinely supportive. "Whatever."

Anyway, the relationship between him and Lin Congjue is just like that, and Meng Lingjun, who was once their good friend, is gradually becoming distant because of Duan Fei's matter.

A group of important figures took turns to go on stage to cut the ribbon and celebrate, but Wei Zhenting did not go forward to congratulate. Instead, he got out of the car and blended into the crowd, looking around and asking those around him: "Who is Lan Guifang?"

There were many reporters at the scene who came to report, but he was the only one who seemed to be there for the real purpose of chasing stars.

Even Yu Wan couldn't help but look at him.

Wei Size didn't even raise his head before saying, "Neither."

"Didn't he come?"

Before Wei Size could answer, someone next to him took over the conversation. Duan Fei had just finished a phone call and said with regret on his face that Lan Guifang would not be there today.

This immediately caused an uproar among the audience, and some reporters even directly questioned Duan Fei whether there was any false advertising issue.

This question immediately ignited the entire scene, and many reporters took the opportunity to ask questions.

Duan Fei tried to take control of the situation. "Don't worry, everyone. I'm on the phone with Teacher Mei right now. How about we listen to his explanation first?"

"My friends."

An old voice came from the microphone, and all the cameras turned to face that location.

After a cough was heard on the other end of the line, Lan Guifang continued, "I'm old, and coupled with a relapse of an old illness this morning, I'm not feeling well enough to travel long distances, so I'm confined to my home. This incident was entirely due to my own poor consideration. I apologize to everyone and promise to give away my work, 'Meal Lying on the Clouds,' as a gift to anyone who has the good fortune to encounter it. I hope you will understand and forgive me. After all, I'm already an elderly person."

As soon as this statement was made, everyone became nervous. Although "Dining and Lying on the Clouds" was not as famous as "Serving the Plum Blossoms", a wealthy man once offered 30 million to buy this painting, but Lan Guifang refused for some reason.

They actually gave it away today without asking for a penny? A group of people were eager to make a move.

Only Yu Wan and the other two showed some change of expression when they heard this, especially Wei Zhenting. He leaned closer to Wei Size, frowned, and asked, "What's going on? Didn't you give me 'Food Sleeping Clouds' a few days ago? Why is it here?"

Wei Size and Yu Wan looked at each other with a hint of sneer in their eyes.

"Don't worry about it for now, Dad. See if you can get the painting later."

Wei Zhenting had seen a lot in his life, so he wouldn't argue with his son in public over such a small matter. He just snorted and said, "You have to explain it to me later."

"Ok."

On stage, Lan Guifang explained how she obtained the painting, which was entirely based on chance.

This is another confusing thing.

Everyone at the scene couldn't help but frown.

This seems to be more difficult to get than spending a lot of money.

But this is quite in line with the style of the elegant old painter.

After everything was explained, the reporter below wanted to continue asking about Lan Guifang's personal affairs. Duan Fei quickly ended the call, apologized again with a smile, and then invited everyone into the store to see the appraiser.

He also shook hands and exchanged greetings with several bigwigs, and then began to introduce antiques and artworks.

The shop is very lively. Duan Fei not only sells antiques but also recycles them.
