Chapter 24 - You Can Think of Me Like An Older Brother (1)

Li WangJin sat across from He Ming. His voice became more serious. “You have already completed the ‘Snow by the River’?”

“Snow by the River” was Xu FangWeng’s most famous painting. Rumor had it that a secret magnate bought it at an auction for $560M. A magnate from Hong Kong wanted to buy it once for $1B but failed.

Li WangJin had dropped his work to rush over precisely for this today. He had been working with He Ming for years but something of this magnitude was the very first time.

He Ming nodded and said, “It will be done in the next few days. Do you want it? If not, I am going to sell it to someone else. I have others reaching out to me already.”

He Ming had not only helped Li WangJin transfer his wealth over the years; he had also sold his forged works to others for money as well.

Li WangJin sat up. The most he had taken out of the company’s account in the past was only tens of millions, and he had slowly built up the amount. If he wanted $1B all at once… he wondered if Fang JunRong would agree to it.

He recalled how Fang JunRong had been colder and colder to him as of late. And, she had further tried to insert her nephew into the company in the last couple of days. It was obvious that she had already started to move in and tried to take over some control of the company. He made a split-second decision. “Okay. On top of this ‘Snow by the River’, what else have you got? Let’s make it an even $1.5B.”

The reason he trusted He Ming so much and knew that he wouldn’t betray him was because he has He Ming’s only son in his hand, and He Ming’s son was very important to him. There was a shareholder of the company who wanted to sell some of his stocks recently. Once he got this money, he could buy the stock from the shareholder, then his ownership would way surpass that of Fang JunRong’s.

He Ming hesitated for a while and said, “Let me see what I can do.”

$1.5B, from what he was told, if all went well, she would not only send him and his son overseas, she would give him $10M on top of that. She was way more generous than Li WangJin. All these years that he had been painting for Li WangJin, he had only made several millions of dollars. Plus…

He remembered another friend of his who also used to paint for Li WangJin and he just disappeared like that one day. He Ming didn’t want the same thing happening to him.

Hearing that, Li WangJin smiled lightly and said, “Don’t worry. I will arrange for your son to get into the best school and help send him overseas in the future.”

He Ming lowered his head, his voice filled with gratitude when he said, “Thank you so much.”

Under the table, his hands were balled into fists.

He looked up suddenly and said, “Oh, right. A friend of mine saw a woman that looked a lot like Wang SiEr overseas. He swung by my place a few days ago and recognized her from my pictures.”

Li WangJin had taken Wang SiEr’s pictures and had He Ming painted a few of them in the past. There were still a few inside the studio, so He Ming was not unfamiliar with Wang SiEr.

Li WangJin’s eyes widened in shock. The muscle of his cheeks twitched a little, making him look somewhat vicious. “Are you serious? How is that possible?” As thought remembering something, he asked, “Where was she?”

“In Country R.”

That’s right. SiEr has a twin sister. He heard that she had left the country a few years ago. That could very well be her.
