Chapter 476: Uncle Guo's guess
The charity party was followed by a charity auction. Everyone took out their collections, some were ancient paintings, some were porcelain, some were ornaments, and even some were uniquely used props to auction. This woman who was trying out the crab was Fan Jiaojiao, the winner of this year's Puhai Film Festival's Most Charming Actress Award. She auctioned the underwear robe she used in the drama "Tingshan Loves Evening" and sold it for 790,000 yuan.
Liu Jinpeng no longer remembers what this film is about, but only remembers that Fan Jiaojiao has a passionate scene for the first time in the film. Some netizens even swear that Fan Jiaojiao has some points in the internal circulating version. This is probably one of the means of hype by the film crew. Anyway, the film was a box office hit, making 200 million yuan, nearly twice the cost.
Liu Jinpeng finally failed to buy the jade dragonfly. This jade dragonfly was analyzed clearly by the experts on site. It was first-class in workmanship, but the material was not good, so the estimated price was only 550,000. However, after the shooting started, the first shot rose sharply. Some people called 250,000, and Liu Jinpeng quickly called 350,000, and then someone called 600,000. Finally, he was shot by the "International Famous Director" Hu Dong for 940,000. This director Hu is the bearded director who has made countless bad movies.
After the auction ended, Wan Junli announced the results: "The total amount of 10.23 million yuan of charity funds was awarded at this charity auction, and all of them will be used for the established goals. Thank you for your kind-hearted people for their donations. Thank you."
Next, the group broke up. Director Hu really came to greet Liu Jinpeng. He also talked about the situation when he met with King Li Jingyu of Ruyang two years ago, as if he had entered the circle he looked up to. Liu Jinpeng said a few perfunctory words and introduced Ling Xiaoxuan to him. Director Hu didn't care much, but at least he remembered this name, which made Ling Xiaoxuan very excited.
Chen Dan also came over to say goodbye. He took a few items today and paid about 1 million yuan. Now he has to continue rushing to the scene. He once again joked that he was working hard. After Wan Yichen responded to his father's order, he hurried over. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Liu Jinpeng had not left.
"It's okay," Wan Yichen wiped his sweat and gasped, looking like he was about to drown. "I finally left you. My dad said he wanted to see you, Brother Peng, please condescend."
"The uncle summoned him. How dare you not go?" Liu Jinpeng would also say strange words, but he was very serious when he spoke, and most people couldn't see it.
Wan Junli sent away several guests of the same age. When he turned around, he saw his son bringing Liu Jinpeng over. He touched his beard and walked up and bowed, "I'm negligent today, so don't care. Come on. Let's talk while walking." Liu Jinpeng secretly complained, "My uncle's attitude is not like an apology, it's just perfunctory."
In fact, Wan Junli had nothing to do with Liu Jinpeng. His news was slower than Wan Qiwei. Wan Qiwei now has many unclear things. Li Jingwen didn't tell his wife everything. Wan Junli naturally didn't know that Liu Jinpeng had already had a showdown with his brother-in-law. He was still making a move and said, "Dr. Liu, last time you helped Xiaochen escape, I still have to thank you."
When Liu Jinpeng heard him say this, he felt that there must be nothing good. Wan Yichen shrank his head and did not dare to talk, so that Xiaoxuan could hide further and dared to follow Wan Yichen. Lin Lin followed Liu Jinpeng indifferently. She was the most relaxed person here.
"I dare not be accused of it. I helped Brother Wan for many reasons. We can't be acquainted with each other. The main thing is to save ourselves. I don't want to collect the money I lend him back." Liu Jinpeng did not dare to take credit for fear that Wan Junli would come over and would not be able to explain it clearly at that time.
But Wan Junli was not arguing today. He took a few people to the Japanese-style izakaya on the ground floor. The doors usually open at dinner time, but I don’t know what happened to Wan Junli, so the store opened the door and received them now.
After entering the store, there is a rectangular hall with many wooden tables and chairs in it. A long counter is facing it, and several waiters wearing black mid-sleeved bathrobes are busy behind it. Just like those izakayas in Osaka, there are a row of chairs in front of the counter, which allows single guests to eat on the counter, and the hall is basically double-seat.
Wan Junli took the person directly to the single room behind, which was similar to a private room used by many people, with tatami, low tables and cushions, which looked like that. Wan Junli was not busy talking about things and asked people to serve the food directly. He seemed to often invite guests here. The waiter in the izakaya brought the food directly without asking.
Japanese cuisine is just the old ones. In addition to the common sushi, sashimi and tempura, this izakaya called toriji also specializes in teppanyaki and Japanese grilled skewers. The menu of Wanjunli is very ordinary, with four-person sushi platter, California roll, salmon sashimi, chicken ball skewers, mushroom skewers, beef skewers, eel skewers, beef enoki rolls, teppan grilled cod, prawn tempura, etc. The wine is still sake, and the brand looks better than Liu Mei bought at Jin Market.
Wan Yichen probably was a little afraid to reach out and could only eat the dishes in front of him, which made Xiaoxuan wince than him. She ate a little lettuce salad like a chicken, and then ate a few sushi in front of her and stopped moving. Lin Lin didn't take the seat at all. Wan Junli didn't care about the idle people and raised his glass and said, "The oil price is rising so much, and futures can't be played anymore. The last time the messenger ran to South Africa, and I don't know who was behind it. Xiaochen said recently that he was very idle and wanted to play with you. Is that going to Los Angeles with you? "
Liu Jinpeng didn't know what the uncle was talking about, so he replied vaguely: "Brother Wan did say that I would agree with you. Brother Wan went to Los Angeles as a serious business, but I am not doing my job."
Wan Junli laughed and drank a glass of wine, put down the glass and said, "I will not interfere with your juniors' affairs, but my niece has encountered something again recently. You should be there too. Be careful when you go out. The situation is a bit incomprehensible now."
Liu Jinpeng thought a lot in an instant, but without intelligence support, it was just a random thought. He smiled self-deprecatingly: "I also know that some people are operating in secret, and they can also guess some of the ins and outs. This time I want to see if I sent it to me personally. Do they have any reactions?"
Wan Junli and Wan Yichen were both surprised, only Ling Xiaoxuan knew nothing. Wan Junli narrowed his eyes and knocked his fingers on the table unconsciously: "Are you using your body as bait? It's very dangerous. I won't say anything to persuade you, because I know you have a pattern in your work, just let you pay attention to safety and don't worry my niece."
Wan Junli always speaks so condescendingly, but he still has a bit of concern in his words, which makes Xiaoxuan understand even if he is stupid. The niece of the country's uncle has something to do with this Mr. Liu. She thought about it carefully, isn't the niece of the country's uncle the queen's daughter? My God, it turns out that the princess is His Highness.
Liu Jinpeng smiled and said, "Actually, I think I may have gained nothing this time, because the other party's target is not me, but her. I guess boldly that some people even target Brother Wan, and their purpose is to smear the royal family through subsequent means. I think they must have a second move, but the plan failed due to changes in oil prices."
Wan Yichen realized that the issue they were talking about was getting more and more serious, so he quickly pulled Ling Xiaoxuan and said, "We are full, go out for a walk to digest food." After that, he forced Ling Xiaoxuan to walk out of the single room, but Lin Lin still stayed outside the door and had no intention of leaving.
Wan Junli felt his son wink for the first time. He pondered for a while and said, "What you said makes sense. Your Majesty should have a little idea in his heart now, but he hasn't told his sister yet. You have a good relationship with Your Majesty. Have he told you something?"
Liu Jinpeng smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty doesn't even say his wife, how can you tell me such a thing? It's related to the royal reputation, and he must keep it confidential."
Wan Junli had a doubt for a long time. He picked up a squid roll and said hatefully: "I shouldn't say anything about evil, but you can definitely see that Li Jingyu has never given up. I guess he must be behind these things. Think about it carefully, Wenwen wanted to invite Xi Feng to Wangxing Island, but he went back to study at that time. How could it be that coincidence?"
Liu Jinpeng was also very curious and added a full glass of wine to Wan Junli and said, "What did Li Xifeng do when he came back?"
Wan Junli probably choked by mustard, picked up the wine glass and tilted his neck, put it down and touched his beard and said, "He used to have a girlfriend in China, but Li Jingyu did not agree with their marriage. When he went abroad, both parties could only contact him by letter. Li Xifeng came back because the woman was about to get married. He wanted to save her again, but the woman's family could not stand the pressure from the Li family and refused to let him see that woman. In the end, he did nothing."
"That smiley tiger is not a good person." Wan Junli's description of Li Jingyu is very consistent with Liu Jinpeng's impression. "And Li Xifeng's mother is also a stubborn woman. Not to mention spoiling her own children, she is a dead face to anyone, even to His Majesty."
Logically speaking, Wan Junli said that this evil is definitely not suitable behind the scenes, but everyone knew the dispute over the throne between Li Jingyu and Li Jingwen back then. He now relied on his sister, of course he had to support his brother-in-law, saying that Li Jingyu's evil is nothing, and didn't Li Xinran nickname Li Jingyu to Fatty behind the scenes?
Liu Jinpeng thought Wan Junli's words made sense, but the problem is that these are all speculations and there is no evidence at all. If Li Jingyu can motivate Americans, then there is only one way to sell national interests. If you think about this idea, the only question now is who did Li Jingyu contact, what secrets he sold were, what conditions did he agree to, and who would benefit these secrets or conditions?
