?31: Chapter 31: Tang Bohu’s Peak Calligraphy and Painting 31: Chapter 31: Tang Bohu’s Peak Calligraphy and Painting “Incredible!

    Truly incredible!

    This is genuinely a masterpiece by Tang Bohu.” About half an hour later, Mr.

    Xu finally put down his tools, muttering to himself in disbelief.

    “A masterpiece by Tang Bohu?

    Wow, that painting must be worth a fortune, right?” Hearing that it was a genuine work by Tang Bohu, Pan Long asked in surprise.

    “A priceless treasure!” Mr.

    Xu slightly shook his head.

    He was very aware of the prices of Tang Bohu’s calligraphy and paintings, and this one, as a never-before-seen classic, was naturally impossible to value.

    “If I’m not mistaken, the quality of this painting has reached the peak of Tang Yin’s life.

    It even surpasses classics like ‘Lushan Waterfall Picture’ by a notch,” Mr.

    Xu was evidently very high in his appraisal of this painting.

    Unless there was a mistake, he had determined this to be Tang Yin’s finest work.

    “Do you guys know how much the ‘Lushan Waterfall Picture’ sold for?”

    “How much?” Both Pan Long and Ye Feng, evidently not usually concerned with such matters, asked with blank faces.

    “590 million US Dollars, equivalent to over 3.6 billion RMB.”

    Hearing the price Mr.

    Xu mentioned, Ye Feng and Pan Long’s faces showed nothing but shock; they were shocked, really shocked.

    For a joke, 3.6 billion for what good is it?

    Just to buy a painting, sheer madness.

    “Doesn’t that mean my painting could be even more valuable than the ‘Lushan Waterfall Picture’?” Ye Feng was completely excited, his entire being overwhelmed with enthusiasm.

    “Not necessarily, it depends on collectors’ preferences!

    Besides, your painting is much smaller than the ‘Lushan Waterfall Picture,’ so its collection value might be lower,” Mr.

    Xu could not confirm the value of the painting, so he dared not make wild promises.

    “Oh!” Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders as if he genuinely understood, then pointed at the lady in the painting, asking rather curiously.

    “If this is a work by Tang Bohu, who is the lady in the painting?”

    “This painting is called ‘Song of Autumn Picture,’ and there’s a poem praising a lady written on it.

    If nothing unexpected, the lady in the painting ought to be Qiu Xiang,” Mr.

    Xu also seemed somewhat uncertain, his heart lacking confidence as he replied.

    “Qiu Xiang?

    No wonder the quality of this piece is so high.

    It turns out it was done by this guy while he was wooing a lady.

    No wonder he’s called such a talented individual.” Hearing Mr.

    Xu’s words, Ye Feng laughed and said with some disdain.

    “No way!

    This beauty is actually Qiu Xiang!

    I’ve always been curious about what Qiu Xiang looks like; so, she looks like this!” Upon hearing that the lady in the painting was his goddess Qiu Xiang, Pan Long immediately became unsettled and rushed to the front of the painting paper to carefully observe it.

    “No wonder Tang Bohu was so obsessed with her; she really is beautiful, although it’s hard to say who wins or loses between her actual self and the painting,” Pan Long concluded after carefully observing for a long time that Qiu Xiang indeed was extremely beautiful.

    “This painting is too significant.

    I’d like to frame it by hand for you, what do you think?” Mr.

    Xu was growing fonder of the painting the more he saw it, and finally couldn’t resist the urge to mount it beautifully.

    “Sure!

    That would be great, Mr.

    Xu.” Having someone beautify his painting even further, Ye Feng was too happy to refuse.

    “Good, I just happen to have the best materials right here, and I’ll start now.” Since Ye Feng had agreed, Mr.

    Xu immediately started working, his excitement resembling that of a man about to meet a top-grade beauty.

    Mounting the work was actually very quick.

    With the help of Ye Feng and Pan Long, the work was soon completely mounted, instantly becoming high-end, grand, and classy, with its defense significantly added many, many times over.

    “Grandpa Xu, how much should it cost to mount this?

    I’ll pay you.” Seeing the calligraphy and painting instantly become complete, Ye Feng was very happy and wanted to cover the mounting fee for Mr.

    Xu.

    “Stop talking about money, being able to mount such a classic piece is worth a lifetime for me.

    In fact, I should be thanking you.” Mr.

    Xu too seemed very excited.

    Mounting such a work had always been a wish of his.

    Since the other party didn’t want it, Ye Feng didn’t insist.

    He knew very well that if he insisted on paying, it would make him seem out of place and possibly annoy Mr.

    Xu.

    Although Mr.

    Xu was very reluctant to part with Ye Feng, no!

    It should be said that he was reluctant to let Ye Feng take away Tang Yin’s work.

    But Ye Feng really had to leave because Liu Yajing had already called him to discuss the proposal case at their company.

    Although Ye Feng wanted to leave Tang Yin’s work for Mr.

    Xu to enjoy for longer, Mr.

    Xu didn’t ask for it.

    Keeping such a precious work made him uneasy; he preferred Ye Feng to take it away.

    After wrapping Tang Yin’s painting in black cloth, Ye Feng got into Pan Long’s car.

    “Where to?” Pan Long asked with a smile after Ye Feng settled in, his excitement was palpable after witnessing such a valuable piece of art today.

    “Take me to Tianhong Tower, and then do whatever you want!” Liu Yajing had called to say their company was in Tianhong Tower and to call her once he arrived.

    “OK, after I drop you at Tianhong Tower, it’s time for me to chase some girls.” Pan Long nodded; actually, the beauty he met at the cafe had already texted him during the mounting process.

    “The beauty from the cafe?” Ye Feng asked curiously and puzzled.

    “Exactly, she asked me out for dinner.

    Looks like my charm really isn’t just for show.” Pan Long laughed proudly, replying somewhat cheekily.

    “Get out of here!” Ye Feng laughed and cursed, then stopped paying attention to Pan Long and instead pondered how to handle this priceless treasure.

    Such a priceless treasure, he definitely was not willing to sell it, after all, it was a treasure of Huaxia.

    If it ended up in the hands of foreigners, it would be somewhat indefensible.

    After arriving at Tianhong Tower, Ye Feng found a chance to put Tang Yin’s painting into Chaotic Space, then took out his phone and called Liu Yajing...

    “You sure took your time, our entire staff has been waiting for you for half the day.” After finding Ye Feng, Liu Yajing started to complain.

    To wait for Ye Feng, all their staff had gathered for quite a long time.

    “Sorry!

    I just got held up with something.” Ye Feng smiled awkwardly, speaking somewhat sheepishly.

    “Hmph!” Liu Yajing snorted, speaking somewhat displeased.

    “You and your endless issues, hurry up and come upstairs!”

    No wonder Liu Yajing was so angry.

    Since she had taken on the case, the delay caused by Ye Feng naturally led to criticism of her.

    That’s how it was in the company, full of overt and covert battles, unnervingly defensive, and if one was not careful, they would be at a disadvantage.
