Chapter 289 The Country's Greatest Philanthropist

Although he wanted Chu Nan to spend money to buy the bamboo carving back, the old man thought that if Chu Nan was not interested in bamboo carvings, he would not be willing to spend so much money to buy it back.

So he planned to observe Chu Nan's attitude towards these bamboo carvings. Fortunately, Chu Nan's attitude did not disappoint him. Seeing Chu Nan looking at the bamboo carvings fascinatedly, he knew that he also liked these bamboo carvings.

So he walked to Chu Nan's side and said the previous words.

"My surname is Fu, my name is Hongyan, and I am the director of the National Museum." He said to Chu Nan very reservedly.

"Mr. Fu, why are you here?" Before Chu Nan responded, he heard a female voice coming from the side. Chu Nan looked back and saw that it was Feng Ruoxue.

It turned out that Feng Ruoxue was attracted by the handicrafts such as grasshoppers, butterflies, birds, and flowers made of bamboo strips on the other side after entering the museum.

He went to see those handicrafts on his own.

After he finished looking at all the handicrafts in that row, he found that Chu Nan was talking to someone.

So he walked over, and after seeing the man's appearance and hearing the man's self-introduction, he immediately knew who he was.

Speaking of which, Feng Ruoxue and Fu Hongyan still have some connections.

This is about Fu Hongyan's granddaughter, Fu Yiya, who went to the same school as Feng Ruoxue when she was in school, and the two were assigned to the same dormitory.

As far as Feng Ruoxue knows, everyone in Fu Yiya's family is in politics.

Her grandfather had retired when she was in college, and he played with his antiques at home every day. Later, because he liked antiques so much, he applied to work in the National Museum.

However, because of his identity, the museum did not let him be an ordinary employee, but directly let him be the director of the museum.

These were all told to Feng Ruoxue by Fu Yiya, so he immediately knew who he was when he heard Fu Hongyan's self-introduction.

Although Feng Ruoxue's face is as old as orange peel, the general outline can still be seen to have many similarities with Fu Yiya.

"Who are you?" Fu Hongyan saw that Chu Nan had no reaction yet, but the little girl who came with him recognized him first.

Feng Ruoxue hurriedly introduced herself when she heard Fu Hongyan's question, saying that she and his granddaughter were classmates.

"Oh, you are Feng Ruoxue, my granddaughter often mentions you." Hearing Feng Ruoxue's introduction, Fu Hongyan immediately smiled warmly.

After talking to Feng Ruoxue for a few words, Fu Hongyan turned his attention back to Chu Nan.

Chu Nan didn't know Fu Hongyan's identity, so when he saw Feng Ruoxue coming to chat with Fu Hongyan, he immediately checked Fu Hongyan's identity on his mobile phone.

When Fu Hongyan turned his attention back to him, he had already learned about Fu Hongyan's identity.

He knew that Fu Hongyan was not only the director of the National Museum but also a leader.

He immediately respected Fu Hongyan and knew why Fu Hongyan said such words in front of him.

It was probably Fu Hongyan's patriotism that was at work. He thought that since he had so much money, he should contribute to the country.

Chu Nan was not disgusted by this. After all, he had a lot of money now, and it was right for him to make some contribution to the country.

So he directly expressed his meaning and solved the problem, how could Fu Hongyan buy the bamboo carving back.

Fu Hongyan was overjoyed to see that Chu Nan actually agreed to buy the bamboo carving.

He explained to Chu Nan in detail how to buy the bamboo carving.

From Fu Hongyan's story, Chu Nan knew that the bamboo carving was now in the hands of a foreign businessman.

The identity of this businessman was not simple. He specialized in selling antiques, but the main reason why he did this business was because he liked antiques very much.

Although he could buy and sell antiques, he would keep the antiques he liked and never sell them again.

If an ordinary person did this like him, he might lose money, but because he was an aristocrat with a rich family, he was not afraid of him squandering so much.

Originally, the merchant loved this bamboo carving.

But recently, he took a fancy to a fine embroidery in China and wanted to exchange it.

This fine embroidery is on display in the National Museum.

Although Fu Hongyan wanted the bamboo carving in the merchant's hand, he would never exchange it with fine embroidery. After all, the fine embroidery has a history of 100 years, and because of the lack of embroidery craftsmanship, no one can reproduce the fine embroidery.

The country has also spent countless efforts to preserve this embroidery for 100 years. It is absolutely impossible to exchange it with a bamboo carving.

The merchant saw that they were unwilling to make an exchange, and immediately opened his mouth and said that as long as they could come up with 100,000 yuan, he would sell this bamboo carving.

100,000 yuan is not a lot for an entire country, but for an individual, it is an astronomical figure.

Even the entire National Museum can't come up with so much money.

Fu Hongyan was so anxious that he had no way to do it for a while, so he could only come to see the bamboo carvings in this museum every day.

He even fantasized that in the future, there might be someone with outstanding skills who could replicate that kind of bamboo carving. However, while he was fantasizing, he also denied himself, thinking that it was all a fantasy.

Just when he was depressed, he met Chu Nan. How could he not be ecstatic?

Chu Nan heard Fu Hongyan say that it would take 100,000 yuan to buy the bamboo sculpture. Although he felt that the price was indeed a bit expensive, it was still good for his asset tycoon.

"I am willing to pay this money, but..." Although it is said that you can't ask for benefits openly, you have to hint.

So Chu Nan deliberately said one sentence and left one sentence.

Fu Hongyan, who is smart, immediately knew what Chu Nan was thinking.

He felt that Chu Nan had not done anything that was detrimental to the country since he became famous, and he also donated to charity organizations every month. He could be regarded as a good person.

If he could help the country buy this bamboo sculpture back this time, it would be a great merit.

It would be okay to give him an honorary title.

"If you buy this bamboo sculpture, I will apply to my superiors to give you the honorary title of the country's first great philanthropist." Hearing Fu Hongyan's words, Chu Nan's mouth twitched. What's the use of such a title? A great philanthropist seems to have no other function except to make people feel that you are rich and kind.
