Just after coming down the mountain, the beautiful CEO took me to register

Chapter 226: Treasure

"Old Chen, you really have a keen eye for talent, accepting such a precious disciple." The masters expressed their heartfelt emotion. In this materialistic world, people who can stick to their original aspirations and not be moved by interests are really rare.

The bearded man said earnestly, "Old Chen, I was just testing your apprentice's character. I had no intention of poaching him. Please don't misunderstand me."

Chen Luobai sneered in his heart and thought: You old foxes, if he really agreed to you, I'm afraid you would be so happy that you would dance with joy.

Seeing that their attempts to poach him were fruitless, several Grandmasters felt a little sour. They whispered to each other, "Look at how smug Old Chen is. It's really unpleasant."

Chen Luobai didn't care about these sarcasm. He responded calmly: "It doesn't matter what you say."

"Second brother, go and arrange the follow-up matters and notify the kitchen to prepare dinner." Chen Luobai gave orders in an orderly manner.

"Okay, Master." Pei Hanjie responded and left.

"Let's sit down and have some tea first." Chen Luobai played with the turtle carved by Lin Fan in his hands. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He planned to keep it as a treasure.

"By the way, Mr. Zhao, I have discussed the matter you mentioned last time with them, and they all expressed their support." Chen Luobai's words made Zhao Ziqing overjoyed. This face was extraordinary.

"Besides me, you still need five pieces of top-grade jadeite, right?" Chen Luobai confirmed again, because the royal purple one among the five pieces of jadeite he brought last time had been used up.

"Yes, they are all in the car." Zhao Ziqing glanced at Lin Fan and motioned him to get the jadeite.

Lin Fan immediately understood and turned to take the jadeite, while also handing Chen Luobai an exquisite box.

"What is this?" Chen Luobai took the box curiously.

"This is a gift for you. I was in such a hurry when I got off the car that I forgot to give it to you." Lin Fan explained with a smile.

Chen Luobai opened the box and an exquisite scroll appeared before his eyes.

"Is this a work of calligraphy or painting?" he asked in surprise.

"Well, last time you mentioned that you like calligraphy and painting, so this piece of calligraphy is my small token of appreciation." Lin Fan said modestly.

Chen Luobai slowly unfolded the scroll, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"What great calligraphy! Could this be the handwriting of Wen Zhengming?" The masters also gathered around, and they could tell at a glance that this calligraphy was extraordinary.

"It's an original..." Chen Luobai was immersed in the world of calligraphy and painting, and recognized the precious value of this calligraphy at a glance.

"Xiao Fan, this gift is really precious." He said with emotion.

"Oh, this is just a small token of my appreciation. It's not something valuable. If you don't accept it, I'll have to consider finding another master." Lin Fan said half-jokingly.

"Come quickly, I will take you as my disciple!" The bearded man took the opportunity to make a joke.

"Get out of the way!" Chen Luobai rolled his eyes at him unhappily, and after a little thought, he finally nodded.

"Well, I'll accept this generous gift."

The other Grandmasters' eyes widened. This was an authentic Wen Zhengming work! Wouldn't it be worth tens of millions? Lin Fan was so generous!

It is really enviable to have such a disciple. Anyone would treasure him, right?

They looked back at their apprentices and suddenly felt dwarfed and overshadowed.

"Old Chen, you really have an amazing apprentice!" someone exclaimed sincerely.

"Hahaha! Not bad, not bad." Chen Luobai laughed triumphantly, feeling incredibly happy. This disciple had truly earned him a lot of face in front of his old friend! As for this generous gift, he planned to return it to Lin Fan at a more opportune time.

"Come on, come on, let's appreciate the calligraphy of the four great talents together!" He invited everyone enthusiastically.

The dinner was held in a harmonious and warm atmosphere. The masters and Zhao Ziqing were chatting animatedly, while Lin Fan was listening with a smile on his face.

It was late at night before Lin Fan and Zhao Ziqing reluctantly said goodbye and left.

"Drive carefully, after all, you have been drinking." Zhao Ziqing warned.

"Hmph, this little bit of wine is nothing to me." Lin Fan smiled, his mind clear. "Have you negotiated with those Grandmasters?"

"Well, everything has been agreed. They will call me after they finish the carving." Zhao Ziqing replied.

"Haha, you said before that you didn't have enough foundation. How does it seem now?" Lin Fan asked jokingly.

"Although there are still some shortcomings, it is indeed much better than before." Zhao Ziqing's eyes flashed with expectations and confidence for the future.

"Once we have settled the chaos in Guirenfang, the Zhao Company will surely usher in a new leap forward."

"Then I have to congratulate Mr. Zhao first."

Lin Fan followed suit, his eyes shifting as he asked playfully, "Are we the only two left alone in this villa tonight?"

"What are your intentions?"

Zhao Ziqing stared at Lin Fan warily.

"Heh, after a few drinks, people always get a little impulsive..."

Lin Fan glanced dishonestly at Zhao Ziqing's chest, secretly happy that he might have a chance to kiss her tonight.

"Didn't you say before that this little bit of alcohol was nothing to you? Why did you lose control after drinking?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Zhao Ziqing's tone.

"..."

Lin Fan's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, isn't this just shooting himself in the foot?

After returning to the villa, Zhao Ziqing prepared to go upstairs to rest.

"Well, how about I help you go upstairs and treat the love poison?"

Lin Fan suggested tentatively.

"Treating the love poison? Or do you have other motives?"

"Hey, don't you still believe me? My character is very famous, otherwise you would have been mine long ago."

"Hmph, you really want to go upstairs? But I have to warn you, I'm not very available tonight."

Zhao Ziqing glanced at him with a half-smile.

"Inconvenient? You mean that...period?"

Lin Fan was stunned and carefully observed Zhao Ziqing's expression. It seemed to be true.

"What are you looking at? Can you see that?"

Zhao Ziqing was a little surprised.

"Of course, Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning and palpation, so I can naturally see some clues."

Lin Fan frowned slightly, "You're on your period, why are you drinking tonight?"

"If I don't drink a little, I always feel like something is missing."

"Your health is more important. You don't need to give face to anyone."

Hearing Lin Fan's concern, Zhao Ziqing felt warmed in the heart and smiled, "After all, I'm a martial artist. If I can't even handle a little alcohol, then wouldn't all my years of martial arts training be in vain?"

"Yeah, but you still have to be careful."

Lin Fan nodded in agreement.

"Then do you still want to come upstairs and help me control the love poison?"

Zhao Ziqing asked again.

"Forget it, let's just forget about it tonight."

Lin Fan shook his head, afraid that Zhao Ziqing would misunderstand, and hurriedly added.
