Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 443 - What was Gu Jiangxin talking about? (3)

The Zhang family dominated the capital. It would be a struggle for him in the next 10 years.

As for City Shen, he was hoping that Mayor Liu would do him a favor and let him sell the high-end mansions that he had on hand; his two other construction projects to be completed successfully; and he would be able to smoothly picked the locations of his three future projects.

Nevertheless, Mayor Liu wouldn’t even give him the time of day. Even Secretary Zhang, whom they had been working with for many years, had been ambiguous in his attitude toward him.

Gu Jiangxin was completely frantic!

“Why is it that you aren’t able to get a hold of the contact information? Do Secretary Zhang or Mayor Liu has their phone number?”

They had searched and searched and it was as though this Ink Painting Guru didn’t exist at all!

“They must be going after either fame or wealth. Why else would they show their work at an exhibition? I’ll give you three more days’ time. Use any means that you’ve got!”

It was rare that Gu Jiangxin would lose his temper with his assistant!

There were always means; one just needed to think it through.

For example, he planned to post a message in his friend's circle.

He posted the pictures of the three paintings that was sent to him by his assistant.

With captions.

[I found this work truly touching. It made me look back on my days that had led up to who I am today. I felt energized in the middle of the night and would like to share this with all of you and support for each other. In addition, I appreciate the work that Master Ink Painting Guru had done and would love to exchange our takes on life together. I hope someone can introduce the two of us.]

He read through it three times and made some edits before sending it out.

All the way until he felt that it sounded very poetic and also suggested in an elegant way that they share a lot in common before he finally sent it out in content and laid down.

Even if he wasn’t to purchase any of their work in the end, but it would at least serve the purpose of letting Mayor Liu know that their share similar interest and aesthetic. He would at least have more respect for him!

Gu Jiangxin finally felt a little better.

Granted, he never would have expected that as soon as he posted this message and it was read by certain people, they mocked him even more.

For example - --

Old Mrs. Chen who had the habit of looking through Weibo and her friend's circle every night before she went to bed. She saw it through her bifocal lens and second guessed herself.

She waved and summoned her own granddaughter.

“Keke, take a look for me. Is this the Gu guy? Are these from the exhibition that we attended yesterday? The three paintings by Shishi?”

Chen Kexin was not friend of Gu Jiangxin on her WeChat but that didn’t stop her from recognizing him from his elite profit photo.

Her look, too, became very peculiar all of a sudden.

“… … yes … …”

The real daughter that he had given up on had now became an unreachable elite existence.

What a turn of event!

“Hah!”

Old Mrs. Chen immediately reach out her arm sarcastically and liked the post.

“Grandma, why are you encouraging him?”

Chen Kexin tightened her lips.

Putting herself in Gu Shishi’s shoes, if that was Father Chen who had done that, that would have driven her insane.

Okay, even if they did not have any sort of father-daughter emotional bond, but he turned around and had a mistress on the side and doted on his child out of wedlock. What was that all about?

“He had the audacity to invite my mom to his banquet and send us homemade cookies!”

That made Chen Kexin felt uneasy all over.

She threw the cookies out right away.

Were they kidding?

The mistress who had become the wife wanted to network with them and refer to her mother as “older sister”. Hot dang! She was about the same age as her!

Old Mrs. Chen patted her granddaughter on her hand and gave her a profound smile. “I don’t just want to like his post. I am also going to show him my collection.”

Chen Kexin was taken aback a little.

Old Mrs. Chen shoved her cellphone onto Chen Kexin’s hands in the next second and said, “It’s too dark for me to type at night. Post this for your grandmother. Post the pictures of the bowls and paintings from Shishi with the caption ‘Sleepless night and want to share with everyone my precious collections.’ Make sure the Ink Painting Guru’s stamp is clearly visible.”

Chen Kexin got it right away and quickly covered up her own mouth before she busted out laughing. “Oh, grandma, you are so evil!”

She wanted him to be able to see it but not eat it, touch it, or have it!

She wanted to keep that man up at night!

Old Mrs. Chen grinned.
