648 Slightly cool, soft as if boneless (a random chapter)

Seeing Chen Pingan didn't answer, he smiled and said, "You should have noticed that Ms. Lan didn't have a ring on her hand.

Considering the cultural differences, it is not certain whether she is unmarried.

If you have any thoughts about her..."

Chen Pingan raised his hand to stop him from saying the following words, "Edwards, we have known each other for such a long time, and this Lan Xiang is the only one who can make me feel calm.

I just want to find out the reason.

As for liking her as a person, I don't have any thoughts in this regard."

Edwards nodded and said, "I can understand. However, you should find a girlfriend now.

When the pressure at work is too great, women are the best way to relieve stress, no one else!"

Chen Pingan smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this.

Prepare a gift for each of the five of them."

Edwards looked at him, "I really believe now that you have never been in love and have no girl you like."

...

Edwards arranged for the bodyguards to send all the paintings in the car back to the manor, and he went to choose the gifts himself.

He was responsible for this matter, so Chen Pingan put his mind at ease and continued to busy himself.

It was six o'clock, and the gifts Edwards had prepared were ready.

Because they were prepared in a hurry, they were all small things selected from boutiques specializing in selling travel products. After they were packaged, they were put together and nothing was specially prepared for a particular person.

It was nothing more than a handmade pipe for Tao Zhixing.

The other five people just picked a valuable handicraft and that was it.

The bodyguard drove two cars, a station wagon and a sedan, and the two of them sat together to pick up people at the exhibition hall.

This was to show respect, so it was not good to wait directly at the hotel.

Tao Zhixing had told him about dinner in the evening. Not only that, he also specially prepared small gifts brought from China. These were originally purchased in bulk and were not worth much.

To put it bluntly, it was an album of Dunhuang murals.

That thing, in China, the official printing in large quantities, most likely costs less than ten yuan a copy.

No one wants it in China, but the paintings given to people abroad are still very precious.

He, Lanxiang and four other people, Huang Wentao, Zou Zhaoming, Hu Xianmei and Zheng Guang, were all invited to a private banquet by an unofficial local exhibition for the first time. Although this is a common thing in China, he took it seriously abroad, and others must also take it seriously.

Edwards and Chen Pingan were waiting in the lobby of the hotel where they stayed at the agreed time. When Tao Zhixing brought the other five people down, Edwards and Chen Pingan were smoking cigars and talking quietly in the lobby.

Not far from them, there were two bodyguards who also served as drivers.

No one knew that Chen Pingan's two bodyguards were armed, and there were four bodyguards of Scorpion sitting in another car outside.

Seeing Tao Zhixing, Edwards stood up with a smile, and Chen Pingan also stood up. He had never seen this vice president, but Lanxiang recognized him at a glance.

"Hello, Dean Tao," Edwards glanced at Chen Pingan and then smiled and greeted him, and Chen Pingan quickly followed.

Tao Zhixing is very tall and thin, wearing a pair of frameless glasses. He looks like an intellectual, but Chen Pingan doesn't judge people by appearance.

"Mr. Cooper." Tao Zhixing also walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Edwards, and the two smiled.

"This is my boss, Chen Pingan, who is also the chairman of Inprivate Turt Investment."

Edwards introduced, "My boss is very interested in the works you exhibited this time, and I hope to have the opportunity to communicate with you more."

Chen Pingan stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "Dean Tao, I am Chen Pingan."

Tao Zhixing stretched out his hand and shook Chen Pingan's hand without hesitation, "You are really young and promising. I didn't expect that the boss Mr. Cooper said was so young!"

Chen Pingan smiled, "Dean Tao, you are too kind."

After letting go of his hand, Tao Zhixing glanced at the two bodyguards who had stood up and walked out, and introduced his people.

He also felt that he had too many people on his side.

Unexpectedly, there were only two people on the other side, but at this time, he could only bite the bullet and introduce: "Mr. Chen, let me introduce you to our team this time."

Chen Ping'an then looked at Lanxiang and the other four people.

Lanxiang may not be the youngest, the one called Zheng Guang looks younger.

The other three are all over 30.

Chen Ping'an does not know the situation of such public institutions in China, but he can think that at least one of them must be out for fun.

When Chen Ping'an shook hands with Lanxiang, it felt slightly cold, soft and smooth.

Gently shook, he did not feel the other's hand bones at all.

"Professor Lan, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

The two people's eyes met, and Chen Ping'an saw a hint of curiosity.

And Lanxiang really felt a hint of surprise in Chen Ping'an's eyes this time.

She was naturally confident in her appearance, but she was born very sensitive, especially to the thoughts contained in other people's eyes.

I don't know how many suitors were rejected by her mercilessly.

Mr. Chen in front of him looked like a college student. Although his eyes were clear and without any evil, he looked like a person with a heavy heart.

He held her warm hand, squeezed it gently and then let go.

Chen Pingan shook hands with the other four people one by one, then turned to Tao Zhixing and said, "President Tao, I know it's a bit abrupt to invite you to dinner rashly. It's really great that you can come.

Please, the car is outside."

Tao Zhixing smiled and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen is polite. Just think of it as a good meal for us. Hehehe..."

Edwards led the way out, Chen Pingan and Tao Zhixing walked side by side, Lanxiang and others followed behind, until they left the hotel, and the bodyguard had parked the car at the door.

Ten minutes later, a group of eight people were already sitting in the hotel's box.

The restaurant is a top-ranked Western restaurant in Vienna.

After the eight people sat down, the waiter brought the menu, which had Chinese names on it as expected.

As the chairman of the company, Chen Pingan naturally sat with Tao Zhixing.

Needless to say, the ordering process was very fast, and no one pretended to be reserved. They ordered whatever they wanted.

The red wine was recommended by Edwards, but Chen Pingan was not good at it, and didn't care.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Chen Pingan took out the small gifts prepared by Edwards and handed them to everyone one by one.

Tao Zhixing liked the pipe very much, and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and even put it in his mouth to experience it.

Seeing that he liked it, Chen Pingan was also very happy.

As for the album that Tao Zhixing took out, Chen Pingan naturally accepted it with pleasure and opened it on the spot to read it.

After the meal was served, Edwards personally poured wine for everyone. Chen Pingan raised his glass and said, "Dean Tao, I am lucky to see a portrait that makes me feel truly peaceful today.

I also know that it was a bit abrupt for Mr. Cooper to buy all the works for me.

I am honored to invite you to dinner to express my apology, thank you."

Edwards smiled and agreed, "Dean Tao, Professor Lan, I am still waiting for you to transfer that huge work to my boss when you return to China.

That was the first painting that he liked at the beginning."
