Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 305 - 175: Showing Off Big Time—Planes and Armored Vehicles Mobilized

Yu Shishi opened the door and welcomed Xue Yinong and Li Lianxin inside.

Yang Chen went upstairs to change his clothes and then came down to greet them.

Xue Yinong: "Is Mr. Yang painting?"

Yu Shishi: "Yes! I always thought Mr. Yang was only good at making money, but it turns out he’s quite talented in art. This is the first time I’ve seen him paint, and it’s really good."

Xue Yinong nodded and said: "I usually enjoy collecting paintings and calligraphy. From my perspective, Mr. Yang’s artwork is definitely at a master level. If Mr. Yang lived in ancient times, he would at least be a famous painter like Tang Bohu."

At this moment, Yang Chen came down after changing his clothes.

"I heard Miss Xue praising me from the room, and it made me happy enough to come down quickly. Praising people should be done to their face, so go on, praise me a bit more to make me happy." Yang Chen jested.

Xue Yinong: "Haha... Mr. Yang’s painting skills are indeed worthy of any praise. I have a collection of Tang Bohu’s ’Autumn Chrysanthemum Appreciation’. I feel Mr. Yang’s skills are no less than his. I wonder if Mr. Yang is willing to sell this painting? I’m willing to offer five million to buy it, hoping Mr. Yang will fulfill my wish."

Although Yang Chen doesn’t lack five million, someone willing to pay that much for his first painting is a great encouragement and recognition of his talent, inevitably making him excited.

"Miss Xue, don’t joke around. This is my first painting; it’s not worth that much. Have a seat." Yang Chen replied.

Yu Shishi poured tea, and Li Lianxin placed some snacks on the coffee table.

"I made some snacks out of boredom. Mr. Yang, try them and give me some suggestions." Xue Yinong said with a smile.

Yang Chen thanked her and started eating.

"Hmm, the taste is really good. I didn’t expect Miss Xue’s culinary skills to be this great. Anyone who can marry Miss Xue would surely be happy for a lifetime." Yang Chen said with a smile.

Xue Yinong laughed happily and then said seriously: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for the compliment. About the five million I mentioned to buy Mr. Yang’s painting, I wonder if Mr. Yang can fulfill that wish of mine?"

"Does Miss Xue really want to buy it?" Yang Chen asked.

Xue Yinong determinedly nodded and said: "Yes! I really want to buy it. So, I hope Mr. Yang can make it happen."

Spending five million can buy many ancient masterworks, yet she’s willing to spend that money on Yang Chen’s first painting, which doesn’t quite make sense. She definitely has a request.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying: "Since Miss Xue likes it so much, I will happily agree."

Xue Yinong clapped joyfully and said: "That’s great! Thank you, Mr. Yang, for making it happen. Aunt Lan, the checkbook."

Li Lianxin hurriedly took out the checkbook from her bag, and Xue Yinong immediately signed a check for five million for Yang Chen.

This wasn’t just a snack delivery but clearly a request for Yang Chen to do something, with a check brought along.

With the money given, Xue Yinong felt more assured, then she proposed letting Minghuang Investment replace Kangsheng Investment to participate in Eastern Airlines’ private placement, which should now be easier to solve.

"Does Mr. Yang still remember Kangsheng Investment?" Xue Yinong asked.

Yang Chen immediately understood the purpose of her visit.

Xue Jun should be from the Xue family, and Xue Yinong was clarifying things.

"I remember. Is Xue Jun one of your family members?" Yang Chen asked.

"Yes! He’s my cousin. He told me about Chen Kang, and both my father and I scolded him. We asked him to dissolve Kangsheng Investment, and the capital would be merged into Minghuang Investment under my management. Our family worked hard to obtain the qualification to participate in the Eastern Airlines’ private placement, and my father wanted Minghuang Investment to substitute Kangsheng Investment. I wonder if Mr. Yang can fulfill our wish? Mr. Yang can also make any requests, and we’ll definitely do our best to meet them." Xue Yinong said sincerely.

"Oh, so he’s your cousin. Has your cousin severed ties with Chen Kang and his brother?" Yang Chen asked.

Xue Yinong nodded and said: "They have severed ties. I can guarantee this to Mr. Yang. If they haven’t, I’m willing to face any punishment from Mr. Yang."

Yang Chen has grievances with Chen Kang, but none with Xue Jun and Xue Yinong.

Since Xue Jun has severed ties with Chen Kang and his brother, agreeing to Xue Yinong’s involvement in Eastern Airlines’ private placement wouldn’t harm Yang Chen.

"I can see Miss Xue is sincere, so I will agree to let Miss Xue’s Minghuang Investment participate in Eastern Airlines’ private placement. However, my agreement alone isn’t enough; the most important thing is for the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to agree." Yang Chen said.

Xue Yinong smiled confidently and replied: "As long as Mr. Yang agrees, we’ll manage things there. So, I entrust Mr. Yang to vote for Minghuang Investment at the next Eastern Airlines shareholders’ meeting."

Yang Chen nodded and said: "No problem!"

Xue Yinong got up to say goodbye and, together with Li Lianxin, carefully took the painting bought for five million back.

The two opened the scroll to admire it.

Li Lianxin: "Didn’t expect he has such a skill at such a young age. Looking at just this painting, his technique surpasses many famous masters."

Xue Yinong smiled slightly and said: "Exactly, I feel the same way. What he’s lacking is fame. Once his popularity skyrockets, such paintings can surely fetch a fortune at auctions. Aunt Lan, if I could run operations to make him a famous painter, do you think he’d approach me?"

Li Lianxin: "Haha... Definitely. Miss, you could think about it this way: if he boosts you to become famous, wouldn’t you have a good impression of him?"
