Weiwei frowned.
The two exchanged glances, didn’t say anything further, but simply followed Wang Xin into the hotel at a leisurely pace.
A few minutes later.
The three entered a suite.
Wang Xin’s wife and daughter left for another room.
He led the two before the “Eagle Spreading Wings and Swallowing Rivers and Mountains Picture” and said with a smile,
“I invited the two esteemed guests to the hotel not out of disrespect, but because I am humble in talent and shallow in learning. Knowing that both of you have always been keen on calligraphy and painting, and there happens to be a painting in this hotel suite that has deeply captivated me, I would like to ask the experts to help appraise it.”
This was a formal occasion, and Wang Xin spoke very much in the style of Zhao Continent.
Fang Mokan and Miao Bai were momentarily stunned, then chuckled inwardly.
Although Wang Xin was from Zhao Continent, he was notoriously known as a nouveau riche in the Blue Star elite circles, fond of pretending to appreciate art, though he lacked any actual artistic sense.

What good painting could such a person recognize?
And a painting kept in a hotel at that?
These thoughts briefly crossed their minds. They both smirked slightly but didn’t say much, merely casually walking up next to Wang Xin to look at the painting that filled the entire wall behind the transparent glass.
The result.
Just that one look.
Miao Bai and Fang Mokan suddenly widened their eyes as if struck by lightning!
In the painting.
Green mountains twisted around ravines;
Waterfalls hung like the Milky Way falling from the sky;
An eagle with flapping wings flew among the clouds, its piercing gaze captivating, so lifelike it seemed as if it was about to break free from the painting!
A masterful work of colors!
A graceful display of brushstrokes!
Wang Xin beside them smiled knowingly.
Their reactions were entirely within his expectations; he had been gazing at this painting until midnight the night before, unable to tear himself away.
“Mr. Miao, what do you think of this painting?”
Feeling the timing was right, Wang Xin suddenly spoke up.
Miao Bai opened his mouth, full of countless thoughts, yet at a loss for words momentarily, unable to mask the shock and affection in his eyes!
“Mr. Fang, what do you think?”
Wang Xin turned to Fang Mokan beside him.
Fang Mokan glanced warily at Miao Bai, suppressed the shock in his heart, and coughed before saying,
“The painting is quite decent, though some parts are overly elaborate. However, generally speaking, it indeed qualifies as a fine piece. Luckily, I’m not too picky. I’ll just buy this painting from the hotel in a while.”
“Mr. Fang!”
Miao Bai’s heart skipped a beat, and he said with a feigned smile, “Since the painting is so mediocre, why don’t you let me buy it? I particularly like eagles, and I generally buy paintings that depict eagles.”
“Mr. Miao, there’s no need to force yourself…”
“Mr. Fang, you are the one who shouldn’t force yourself.”
“This painting isn’t worth your effort, Mr. Miao. The painting industry is quite intricate, and I’m afraid you might not handle it well; let me take care of it.”
“Mr. Fang, as I said, I just like eagles.”
“What a coincidence, I just happen to have a famous Zhao Continent artist’s masterpiece at home, which also depicts an eagle, and it’s much better than this one. I’ll buy this painting myself if you don’t mind.”
“Fang Mokan, cut the crap!”
Miao Bai became serious: “I must have this painting!”
Fang Mokan narrowed his eyes slightly: “Miao Bai, are you insisting on competing with me today?”
Damn!
Wang Xin, standing aside, couldn’t help but laugh and cry, only managing to interject, “Gentlemen, let’s not fight. Let’s not ruin the harmony. Plainly speaking, we all like this painting. If the hotel was willing to sell, I would have bought it myself yesterday, but the hotel absolutely refuses to sell, claiming it’s just for guests to enjoy.”
“I don’t believe it!”
Both simultaneously exclaimed, “Call the manager over!”
Wang Xin: “…”
He could only arrange for someone to call the manager.
Soon after, the hotel manager, Wang Yu, hurried over.
“This painting, I want to buy it.”
Fang Mokan said to Wang Yu, pointing directly at the wall.
Wang Yu smiled bitterly: “The chairman has strictly ordered that the hotel’s paintings are not for sale…”
Sun Yaohuo had indeed issued a strict order.
Still, Wang Yu managed to thoroughly convince them that the painting was definitely not for sale after much persuasion.
“Alright, since that’s the case…”
Miao Bai suppressed the disappointment in his heart, but suddenly said with a smile,
“President Wang must have enjoyed this painting enough by now. How about changing suites? I’ll cover the room charges, and I will stay in this suite tonight. I really love this painting. As for the business we need to discuss, I’ll sign directly in a while for a pleasant cooperation, right?”
“Really?”
Fang Mokan was anxious: “You two stay at the hotel, and I’ll pay for two suites for you. I can stay in this room, and I have no issues with the business either. President Wang, please grant my humble request!”
“Now you’re even competing for this?”
Miao Bai looked at Fang Mokan with disdain.
Wang Yu, sensing the uneasy atmosphere, interjected, “Excuse me, gentlemen, our hotel has five suites, and the other suites also have delightful paintings. There’s no need to fixate on this one suite.”
“There are paintings like this in other rooms?”
Miao Bai and Fang Mokan were startled, wondering if paintings of such caliber really existed in more than one suite.
“Yes.”
Wang Yu confidently nodded: “These are the 500,000-per-night suites, naturally they need a reason worth that amount!”
“500,000 a night?”
Miao Bai and Fang Mokan had just learned the price of the hotel’s top suites, but considering the painting on the wall, they didn’t see the price as an issue.
“Book one for me!”
“I’ll take one as well!”
Both spoke in succession, then looked skeptically at Wang Yu, their tones gravely serious:
