Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapters 56 -60
Chapter 56
Many classmates gave gifts one after another. Charlie also took the ancient painting he bought and walked forward closer to Darren and said, "Congratulations Darren, this is a small opening gift from me and Claire."
Claire also smiled and said, “Darren, congratulations, and wish you a lot of money!”
"Thank you, thank you." Darren hurriedly thanked him, and then leaned over to Charlie's ears, and said with a grin: "I think you have a very close relationship with your wife, not what the outside world says! When are you going to have a baby? ”
Claire could only blush when she heard the two people whispering. Charlie smiled and said, "Don't gossip like that. When the time comes, I'll tell you. You can't live without money! "
"That's right!" Darren nodded repeatedly, and said: "I will wrap my son in a big red envelope back then!"
This time, a woman with thick makeup and ordinary looks came up to Darren and asked, "Darren, who are these two?"
“This is my college friend, iron friend, Charlie! This is our school flower, Claire, and now Charlie's wife. ”
After Darren introduced the two, he introduced the woman next to him, and said, "This is my fiance, Lili Liu."
"Huh? He ate the leftovers? ”
Lili exclaimed, but soon realizing that she was wrong, she quickly changed her words and smiled: "I have listened to Darren call you, you two are really talented and beautiful!"
Charlie pretended not to hear, and handed the ancient painting over to Lili, saying: "This is our little gift."
Lili smiled and said, "You coming here is more than enough, why bother bringing presents!"
As he said, he quickly received the gift box.
Charlie said, “You couples should be busy. Let's find a seat first. ”
"Good." Darren said apologetically, "Sorry Charlie, his classmate is too much, so I have to say hello to him."
As soon as Charlie and Claire leave, Lili hastily opens the gift box given by Charlie and finds there is a scroll inside. He frowned and said, "What did your classmate give you?"
Darren said, “Can't you see it? A painting!"
"Cutting." Lili pursed her lips in disdain, opened the scroll and looked, and said: "Tattered, old and rotten things, I think they are worth one or two hundred."
Darren firmly said: "What do you care about how much it costs, classmates give it to you, the gift is a symbol of affection."
Lili said: “Come, let me tell you that in the future, such classmates should be kept a distance, and two people will give a little tattered. That's not enough to pay for their food! "
Darren's face was grim: "Lili, are you really that arrogant?"
Lili suddenly became angry: “Darren how do you speak? I'm arrogant I want to be very arrogant, and I'll consider you a poor man? Don't forget, my father invested most of his money in this restaurant! ”
Darren's expression was a bit awkward, but he was also a little speechless at once.
Right now, Gerald was walking in front of the two of them. He had recovered a lot from the burning of the car just now, and he started to carry a strong posture again.
When he came to the two of them, he immediately handed them a thick red envelope and said lightly: "Darren, your restaurant is open, and I don't know what to give you, I don't know what, so I just wrapped you in a big red envelope."
Lili hurriedly accepted it as she thanked him. He squeezed his hand and knew that there was a 10,000-strong person, and immediately said flatly, "Oh, thank you!"
Gerald waved his hand and asked him, "I think Charlie also came to give a gift now? What did he give you? ”
Lili snorted and said, “I don't know from the thrift market where she brought paintings. It might cost a hundred or two! ”
Gerald sneered and said, "after all the poor are the poor!"
Chapter 57:
Charlie sits down with Claire and Elsa, and Gerald follows and sits beside Elsa.
As soon as he sat down, he smiled and asked Elsa: "Elsa, I heard you came to Aurous Hill this time to work at the Emgrand Group?"
Elsa nodded: "I just joined the job."
Gerald smiled and said: “That's a coincidence. My father is a member of the Emgrand Group and is the deputy general manager of a department. Then I'll let him take care of you. "
When these words came out, some people at the table exclaimed: “Brother Gerald, is your father the deputy general manager of Emgrand Group?”
"Yes." Yeah." Gerald nodded and said, "HE was promoted last year."
Someone hurriedly praised: "The annual salary of the deputy general manager is several million, right? That's just amazing! No wonder your family is so rich! "
Gerald smiled and said: “A few million is just a salary. My father had a lot of power and other income. Now the Emgrand Group is working on a hotel project. After this project, my father was able to earn at least 10 to 20 million. “
A male student sitting opposite him hurriedly asked: “Brother Gerald, I also want to join the Emgrand Group. I sent my resume a few times and there was no news. Can you tell Uncle and see if you can recommend me internally? ”
Gerald nodded and said sparingly, “Oke, turn around and send your resume to me on WeChat. I'll greet him. "
Charlie could not help but pout. He really had no idea that Gerald's father turned out to be an Emgrand Group executive.
It's kind of interesting. Then he had to text Doris Young later and ask her to fire Gerald's father.
So he purposely asked: "Gerald, since your father is so capable in the Emgrand Group, why didn't he include you?"
Gerald sneered in disdain: “You know what nonsense is? It doesn't make sense for me to join the Emgrand Group. The relationship between father and son cannot be hidden. People will always be staring when I come in. ”
Gerald said proudly, “So I don't think at all about Emgrand Group. I have now set up a building materials company, and then I will directly cooperate with Emgrand Group through my father to receive orders from Emgrand Group for building materials. ”
"I saw!" Someone sighed: "Then you make a lot of money?"
Gerald snorted: "It's okay, in a year, I should be able to make a lot of money."
With that said, he deliberately looked at Charlie and asked: "Charlie, what are you doing now? Isn't it because you've washed your clothes and cooked after you've become a parent? "
Everyone at the table laughed.
Charlie said lightly, "In addition to washing clothes and cooking, I also have to take my wife to work and massage her back, so life is busy."
Gerald's lungs are about to explode. B@stard has a face that is considered ordinary, and his face is very thick!
Controlling his anger, he gritted his teeth and said: "Charlie, I don't expect you to eat leftovers with peace of mind!"
"If not?" Charlie said shamelessly, “I didn't steal it, and I didn't snatch it. Why am I not comfortable with anything I can eat? ”
The students around looked ridiculous.
They had seen the shameless, but they had never seen one so shameless!
The point is, everyone is still envious!
Claire is so beautiful. It is something that many people dream of eating soft rice from a goddess-level woman!
Jealousy, envy, and hate ah!
If there is a chance to serve a beauty like Claire, what does it mean to be a daughter-in-law? Being a son-in-law is also a winner in life!
Gerald suffocated to death.
Right now, Darren Lili's wife suddenly went up on stage.
After thanking everyone with a smile on his face, he said: “Thank you for giving us so many gifts today. Both Darren and I were deeply moved. To express our gratitude to everyone, we decided to announce the details of the gift here.Thank you once again! ”
Since today is the opening ceremony, the gift-giving relationship is naturally indispensable.
Chapter 58:
Initially, Darren did not want to do this, but actually he did not have much right to speak, so he could only let Lili do something.
But many classmates are not surprised by this, because people have comparative psychology and show off. Everyone can see who gives what next, and can judge how long classmates have been mixed up after entering society.
Next, Lili started canceling calls.
"Thank you Jones Jie for a thousand red envelopes!"
“Thank you White Bei for a pair of gold bars!”
“Thank you Xu Oouou for the courage of his jade!”
"Thank you Gerald for ten thousand red envelopes!"
The first few gifts, whether they are red envelopes or gifts, are mostly worth about 1,000 on the market. Suddenly, when they reached Gerald, he gave 10,000 red envelopes, and the students were shocked.
The opening ceremony was just a red envelope with 10,000. It's too big!
Many people watched Gerald in amazement and praised his greatness.
Gerald also had a satisfied expression on his face. It seemed that he easily took the lead among these classmates.
This time, Lili said again: "Thank you Charlie and Claire for the old painting!"
Everyone laughed as this was said!
Old painting? Is it worth hundreds?
Are the two too picky? Darren's restaurant opened, Jones Luo's rich banquet cost hundreds per person to eat alone. You two came to eat and give me an old painting? Are you two not afraid of being laughed at?
Charlie smiled faintly: "You don't know where it came from, so why are you saying it's ragged?"
Gerald sneered and said: "Don't think I don't know what your idea is, just want to buy those ragged antiques to pretend to be good stuff, so people don't know how much they're worth! ”
Then, he said aggressively: “To be honest, what is the price of your old painting? One hundred or eighty? ”
Charlie slightly smiled: "The painting is more valuable than everyone adds up today!"
"Haha!" Gerald took the lead and laughed: “You really bragged not to write the draft! I gave 10,000 red envelopes, and there were more than 20 classmates, each of whom gave 1,000 which was definitely about 20,000. What the hell are you saying? What does it mean that your painting is worth more than 30,000? ”
Charlie smiled and said, "You said it was less."
“Ah ha ha!”
Now, the whole class is laughing.
Everyone thinks that Charlie is too pretentious!
What is the reward, you dare to come out and provoke me? Old paintings worth tens of thousands? Are you fooling someone?
Right now, Lili on stage was also very insulting, and asked curiously: “Mr. Charlie, I don't know whose ancient painting did you give me? Is it worth tens of thousands? ”
Charlie said lightly, "Painters from the Qing Dynasty, are not very famous."
Lili laughed and said, “Oh, this is a coincidence. My father was an appraiser of cultural relics, and he was very authoritative. It was Yuesheng Liu. He knows antiques. He should have heard his name, right? ”
Elsa exclaims: “Yuesheng? The Yuesheng cultural relic? I remember this guy, who was on State TV! Is he your father? ”
Lili smiled and said, “Yes, this is my father. He's upstairs now. What if I asked him to come down and appreciate an ancient painting given by Charlie's classmate? "
Gerald stood up and said loudly, “Then Lili will let uncle down to help us appreciate it. If the value of Charlie's painting really exceeded all the gifts everyone has today, Gerald, I'm Gerald, would eat this table on the spot! “
Chapter 59:
When they heard that Lili's father was an appraiser of cultural relics, all of his classmates gave Charlie contempt and sympathy.
They thought Charlie was really unlucky!
He wanted to pretend, but when he met an expert person at the scene, was this not the same as slapping his face?
If Lili's father, Yuesheng, came for a while, wouldn't he be embarrassed?
Claire was also a little embarrassed, and whispered to Charlie: "Charlie, so many students are watching, don't be stubborn, otherwise you will be embarrassed!"
Before coming, Charlie says that he bought a painting, but he says that the painting is worthless some, and now he says it is worth tens of thousands. Claire was also a little unfounded at once, thinking that Charlie might say it for the sake of face.
But Charlie didn't care at all, and said, "Because you don't believe me, let the professionals judge that."
Afterwards, he said again: “Mong-by the way, everyone, don't forget, classmate Gerald never repented, and he cursed again. This time he wanted to eat a table. "
When Gerald thought about burning the car just now, he gritted his teeth and cursed: “Charlie, you are so arrogant! I'm humiliated by you for the racing thing now! I am willing to lose the bet! This time I still bet! If the painting you give is really worth tens of thousands, I will eat the table on the spot! If it's not worth it, can you eat it? ”
Charlie nodded and said, "OK, if it's not worth it, I'll just eat it."
Although the painting was not a famous painting, it was indeed the work of the Qing Dynasty painter Huang Shen, and the antiques shop was also a national chain, with the original guarantee, and the fine for the fake, as well, the painting is never fake.
Claire wanted to stop Charlie, but she did not react at all. Charlie agreed. In desperation, he had to sigh silently.
Elsa was also a little surprised, why was Charlie so sure?
In fact, take a closer look, this person is still very mysterious. In the Classic House that day, the famous Orvel nodded and bowed to him. He doesn't know why.
But he can also be sure that Charlie must have a secret!
Gerald felt that he finally had a chance to regain his lost reputation, and immediately exclaimed: "Okay, everything is here to witness, let's let Lili invite her father down to help us identify!"
Lili immediately turned the phone around in front of everyone and said, "Dad, come down for a bit, Darren's classmate has a painting and I want you to judge it."
A minute later, an Old Master slowly descended the stairs from the second floor.
The person is Yuesheng, an appraiser of the famous cultural relics in Aurous Hill.
Today is the opening ceremony of the restaurant of Yuesheng's daughter and future son-in-law. He also invited an old friend to gather in a private room upstairs. He heard that there are ancient paintings that need to be assessed. As soon as his professional habits appeared, he immediately went down to take a look.
Yuesheng stepped forward and went up onto the stage. Lili hurriedly handed over the gift box with the painting, and said, “Dad, I can help identify this painting. Some people say it is worth tens of thousands! "
With that said, he looked at Charlie with a disgusted expression.
Who believed cloth, the rest of the human meal could obtain ancient paintings worth tens of thousands?
Needless to say, the painting must be a fake!
Others as he thought.
No one believed that Charlie could actually provide calligraphy and paintings worth tens of thousands.
Yuesheng picked up the gift box, and under everyone's attention, he took out the scroll and opened it carefully.
The old paintings were a bit yellowish, and seemed very inconspicuous. Many classmates who liked to judge people based on their appearance one after another said: "Oh, it doesn't seem like a good thing!"
“Ya, I think the price is fifty.”
“It is estimated that the box is not so valuable? That box might cost seven or eighty! ”
Yuesheng studied the painting closely, and after watching it for a few minutes, he smiled and asked, "Is this painting a gift from a classmate?"
Chapter 60:
"Yes." Yeah." Lili says: “He's still a good friend from college!”
When she said this, Lili thought that Charlie and Darren were good friends, still she dared to give a gift worth several hundred, and immediately wanted her father to expose her in front of everyone!
However, no one expected, Yuesheng sighed: “It looks like he is a good friend! Even a good friend would not be willing to give such a precious thing. "
When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded!
whatisit? of value? Is this shit expensive?
Gerald thought, Your mother is precious! I can go to Antique Street to buy fake flowers and pee to make them look old. It looks more real than this painting!
Right now, Yuesheng said solemnly: “This is the real work of Qing Dynasty painter Huang Shen. Although Huang Shen was not a very famous painter, he was also one of the outstanding painters. He was one of the Eight Eccentric Yangzhou! ”
After speaking, Yuesheng said again: "I estimate the market transaction price of this painting to be around 200,000."
“More than two hundred thousand ?!” Lili was astonished, she thought this thing was not worth hundreds, who would have thought it cost over two hundred thousand!
Darren was stunned, and exclaimed: “Oh! Charlie, how could you give me such an expensive item! It's too expensive "
Charlie said calmly, "Darren, it's just a matter of the heart, don't care too much about the price."
Darren was so touched, he didn't expect that his best friend in college would be so attractive!
Gerald looked confused.
how's situation? This shit is worth more than two hundred grand?
It's worth more than 200,000. dmn, isn't this cheating?
The students were shocked too.
This time, no one dared to look down on Charlie anymore!
After all, he was the one who rewarded over two hundred thousand precious paintings at random!
Everyone envies Darren!
Very awesome! I received an expensive gift at the opening, producing blood!
This time, Lili was also shocked, and instantly changed her opinion of Charlie.
He knows his father's level very well. Since his father said the painting was worth over 200,000, it was definitely worth this number!
Lordy! Darren's classmate actually gave an expensive gift, this handwriting isn't too big!
Thinking of this, he looked into Charlie's eyes with stars.
Claire asked puzzledly: "Charlie, how much did you spend on this painting?"
Charlie smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "Actually, it doesn't cost much. The main reason was that the person who sold the painting to me was an acquaintance, and he also collected it from negligence, so he handled it for a low price. ”
Claire could not help but say: "The painting of two hundred thousand, several thousand sold to you, is there such a good thing in this world?"
Charlie said nonchalantly, "Many people don't take money seriously? Otherwise, I wouldn't have given this painting to Darren. "
Claire nodded lightly. Charlie's right. If money is important, no one wants to give away such an expensive item. It seemed that even though her husband wasn't very promising, his courage was still incredible!
At this moment, Charlie stood up, looked at Gerald with a puzzled expression, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Gerald, how do you want to eat at this table? Do you eat directly with your mouth or want to slice with a knife into pieces for you? ”
