In the end, the 'High Mountains and Lofty Peaks' was bought by Lu Yunge for 33 million USD.
Lu Haiqiao muttered quietly while watching several uniformed staff members dismantle the protective covering and remove the painting. "It's a pity, if it weren't for those few words, the price could have been even higher. But getting it for 3,300 is still good, not a loss."
Lu Yunge: …
You are taking advantage of a bargain!
…
On the top floor of the Double X Art Center.
The entire floor had only one office, a spacious area covering over two hundred square meters. In this space, apart from a luxurious office desk and chair, the rest of the room was filled with computer monitors.
Three monitors were on the desk, and five were hanging on the wall facing the desk.
Xie Xuan sat unusually upright in his office chair. Accompanied by the rapid clacking of a keyboard, a series of codes appeared on one of the computer screens.
He was in the process of tracking down the foreign IP that had intercepted 'Flower Moon' and 'Night'.
On the pitch-black screen, lines of code were scrolling rapidly downwards.
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
Upon receiving Xie Xuan's permission, Second Xie, who was standing nearby, pulled out his phone and pressed the control button to open the door.
The person entering was Big Xie.
"Boss, the art exhibition on the first floor has started trading."
Hearing this, Xie Xuan suddenly stopped typing.
He leaned back in his chair, his long legs wrapped in light blue jeans comfortably crossed.
In just a few minutes, he returned to his relaxed and casual state.
He said with interest, "Anyone doing business with my aunt is a spendthrift fool with too much money to spend."
He then propped up the mouse and clicked lightly. The rightmost monitor on the desk immediately displayed the art exhibition venue, which was under comprehensive surveillance.
His gaze quickly scanned the screen, and it finally landed on Lu Yunge who was shaking hands with Mrs. Zheng.
"That's him?"
Without waiting for Big Xie to reply, Xie Third, who was standing nearby, frowned slightly and said, "He's back in B City too?"
Xie Xuan turned to look at Xie Third. "You know him?"
Even when facing his boss, Xie Third maintained his cold expression. "Manager of the Phantom Racing Team. We met during sponsorship negotiations in F Country."
Although they referred to it as sponsorship, the actual contract was more like a partnership.
As he spoke, Xie Third's gaze focused on Lu Yunge in the surveillance footage.
He wondered if this guy had managed to find the driver who had won the Super Endurance Championship in F country for two consecutive years.
Number 81, the mysterious driver who always wore a red and black racing suit.
This person rarely appeared and never participated in training. Whenever he did appear, he concealed most of his face with a mask and a duckbill cap, making it impossible to determine the gender.
But what left a deep impression on Xie Third was the Super Endurance Championship three years ago.
If it weren't for the sudden disappearance of the day before the race this driver, Car Number 81, the team wouldn't have had to compensate for such a large sum of money due to their withdrawal.
Although Lu Yunge took responsibility for it in the end, missing out on the championship was still a source of regret.
Xie Xuan was also staring at Lu Yunge in the surveillance footage.
As he watched, the corners of his lips curled up devilishly. "According to you, you're saying, this spendthrift fool is my little brother?"
Xie Third, who had just snapped out of his memories. "…"
Not quite a little brother, after all, the Lu family didn't lack in money.
