$649 I Have No Opinion

Tao Zhixing laughed and said, "Oh, it took Professor Lan more than three months to complete that painting. Right, Professor Lan?"

The last sentence directly shifted everyone's attention to Lanxiang.

Lanxiang nodded and said calmly, "I received the documents for this European cultural tour half a year ago. It took me a full hundred days to complete the huge painting of Acala, which was also the goal I set for myself at that time."

Her facial features were relatively similar to those of ethnic minorities in the northwest, with deep eye sockets, a small and high nose bridge, and thin eyebrows. However, Chen Pingan couldn't tell whether she had had her eyebrows plucked, but he thought she had.

Looking at her calm eyes from a close distance, Chen Pingan smiled slightly and praised: "Professor Lan, your work made me stand there and look at it for more than ten minutes at the first sight.

I was originally here with my family to watch the fun, but I didn't expect that I would be the one who gained the most.

I am willing to pay 10 million to collect that work, and I also ask you and Dean Tao not to transfer it to others during the subsequent tour.

Of course, if someone wants to buy it, I am willing to spend more money to collect it."

He said this, although he didn't mean to show off, and in fact there was no room and space that big to hang such a huge work, but it didn't mean that to other people.

How big a villa and how high a ceiling would it take to hang it!

Usually, works of this size are used for publicity, not for home use!

This Mr. Chen mentioned his family. I think he is a rich second-generation in China. The whole family came here to open a company.

Chen Pingan raised his glass and put it down low, clinked it with Dean Tao, then raised it to the other people, and took a sip.

Tao Zhixing laughed, took a sip, and then put down the glass.

"Mr. Chen, have you lived here with your family since you were a child?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "No, I just came out in the past two years, and my family came later than me."

Tao Zhixing was surprised and said, "Oh, that's really amazing.

I see that you are not very old, not only did you come here alone, but you also brought your family here.

You are really young and promising!"

Edwards smiled and looked at Chen Pingan's awkward smile, and really wanted to laugh out loud in his heart.

His boss is not good at such polite words, he knows this very well, of course, he himself is not very good at it.

There is really no need to learn these things.

"I don't know what industries Mr. Chen's investment company generally invests in? Judging from the name, it is a private investment company. Does it invest in the financial industry or in industrial investment?"

At this time, Zou Zhaoming, who followed, asked.

Chen Pingan smiled and replied, "It's a small company, not very famous, and now it can only invest in some financial products."

Seeing that he obviously didn't want to talk about his company, the curious others didn't continue to ask.

Tao Zhixing smiled and said, "Mr. Chen doesn't seem to know much about Buddhism.

After hearing what you said just now, I think that generally only people who see these Buddha statues for the first time will have that kind of inner touch."

Chen Pingan nodded quickly, "I have been busy with other things in recent years, and I really haven't been exposed to things in this area."

Thanks to Dean Tao, otherwise he really didn't know what to talk about.

He also regretted it in his heart. He shouldn't have been so impulsive to invite people to dinner. There was no common topic at all.

Edwards invited the entire team, and he also knew that it was impossible to invite Lanxiang alone.

"I wonder how long will your exhibition tour last, President Tao? The Chinese New Year is almost here."

Tao Zhixing sighed and said, "I'm not saying anything. Although the requirements were notified half a year ago, the itinerary will be determined according to the communication here.

I think it is very likely that we will spend the Chinese New Year in Europe this year.

The rest of the itinerary will probably take at least a month to complete."

Huang Wentao, who looked older, followed up and said, "There are also Germany, Italy, France and Spain, and the last stop is the UK.

Even if we stay in each place for three days, it will take more than half a month.

There is no chance of going home for the Chinese New Year."

Edwards took the time to raise his glass and invited everyone to have a drink.

Chen Pingan said with a smile: "I have a manor in the suburbs with many rooms.

And my whole family also lives in the manor, and there are other people living with us.

Dean Tao, if you don't mind, you can take two hours tomorrow when you are not busy to go and have a look.

During the Chinese New Year, I invite you to my manor to celebrate the New Year with my family. What do you think?"

Edwards smiled and said: "The manor is very large. You can ride horses, go fishing, and experience the rural life in Europe.

Mr. Chen's parents and my family all live in that manor."

Tao Zhixing's eyes lit up, and then shook his head and said: "We may have been in Frankfurt during the Chinese New Year. It's not good to toss back and forth, and it will cause trouble to you at that time."

Chen Pingan laughed and said: "Dean Tao, I have 14 people from China who are interning in my company. They can only go to my manor during the Chinese New Year.

These people come from different departments in Beijing. I think if you can become friends, it should bring a lot of benefits to your calligraphy and painting academy in the future!"

Edwards looked at Tao Zhixing and the others with a smile, thinking that his boss was fooling people again.

Hu Xianmei was the only woman in the calligraphy and painting academy team. Hearing this, she asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, are you kidding? Domestic civil servants are interning in your company?"

Chen Pingan smiled and explained, "Strictly speaking, they are people arranged by the three ministries in Beijing through some connections.

They have only been here for three months, and they are quite familiar with this place.

If you are interested, I will arrange for everyone to go to my manor to exchange ideas tomorrow?"

He guessed that Hu Xianmei should have taken advantage of the calligraphy and painting academy to travel at public expense.

Tao Zhixing also asked, "If that's the case, it should be fine."

It's okay to have a meal alone, but it's hard to explain if you go to someone's house.

If he had the opportunity to meet someone in Beijing, he would certainly be happy!

This kind of opportunity is usually hard to ask for!

Chen Pingan struck while the iron was hot, "Okay, I'll make some arrangements later. Tomorrow at 6pm, I'll go to the hotel with the people from China to pick you up.

Don't make any other arrangements tomorrow afternoon."

Tao Zhixing glanced at Lanxiang, "Professor Lan, what do you think?"

This action surprised Chen Pingan a little.

Could it be that Professor Lan could still influence Tao Zhixing's decision?

Lanxiang glanced at Chen Pingan and said softly, "I have no opinion. It depends on the opinions of Sister Hu and Brother Huang."

(I'll just update it after writing it. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. Yinchuan has already notified that an air defense alarm rehearsal will be conducted tomorrow. I don't know if you have this notice. I hope for world peace and I wish all the Japanese will die!)
