Chapter 533 Alarm
She took a taxi to the door of Zeng Xinfei's company. She was sitting in a Mercedes-Benz and waiting anxiously. Fang Liwei sat in the co-pilot's seat, grabbed her hand and patted it. He smiled, "What's the hurry? Isn't it just a painting? If you lose it, you lose it. Aren't we still a lot?"
Zeng Xinfei started the car and shook her head and said, "That's different. This is the first time we are preparing to auction the goods. How dare we auction again in the future? If someone knows that the items placed in the auction company have been stolen, who dares to come to our company for auction?" This is a very practical problem, which directly affects the future of the company. Can she not be in a hurry?
"Yes, it doesn't matter. And me. As long as I come out, I promise to find the whole painting. Even if it is broken, we can still repair it." This man is quite optimistic.
"Didn't you fight and treat the disease? Have you solved the case? Alas? It's not convenient for us to call the police. Can we find Linglong? She has solved so many big cases and has a lot of experience. She will definitely do it. Zeng Xinfei is not very sure about Fang Liwei, but she is full of confidence in Meng Linglong.
"Wife, this is not good. It's a blow to your husband." This one deliberately broke his face.
"Don't pretend. Linglong makes good suggestions. It's best for you to implement it." Zeng Xinfei was very satisfied with her idea. "Yes, that's it. Hurry up, call Linglong."
"Don't worry. Let's go to the auction company to see the situation, and then contact her."
The two companies are not far away, both in the city center. In addition, Zeng Xinfei is anxious and drives faster, and it will arrive in less than ten minutes.
Fang Liwei came to the auction company for the first time. Looking at the five-storey building with good exterior decoration, it looks a little too short compared with the surrounding high-rise buildings. "Xiangyu Auction House" is written on one side of the building, which is the name of the company.
"The name will be changed soon. Sister Qian asked me what name to change. I think it's good to bring a jade character. After all, we also started with jade, and we will have to auction jade jewelry in the future, so the name is retained. The three words of the auction house should be changed to an auction company. In a few days, we will have to renovate the decoration and change it directly. . " Zeng Xinfei introduced to Fang Liwei as she walked.
"It's a good name. Is this building also an asset of an auction company?"
"What Sister Qian bought at the beginning was converted into an auction house."
"Wouldn't we make a lot of money if we only take 20 million?"
"This is the central location. In this way, we do take a lot of advantage, but they are mainly optimistic about our ability to provide auction items and make the company's reputation. If this painting is used well, the sensational effect is inevitable. It may also be that Brother Huang said something to Mr. Liu and others, and Sister Qian is right. The company's deep feelings are mainly because it wants the company to continue to develop, and it is not too entangled in the shares.
When the two entered the door, the doorman knew Zeng Xinfei, and the staff at the front desk called Manager Zeng. It seemed that they were familiar with each other.
Take the elevator directly to the fourth floor and walk to the general manager's room inside. After only two knocks, the door opened. A woman in her twenties with a sad face and a slender figure, wearing wide-brimmed glasses, covering her delicate face. When she saw Zeng Xinfei, she immediately greeted politely.
With Zeng Xinfei inside, "Secretary Li, where's Sister Qian?"
"Are you looking at that painting with Mr. Xin?" Secretary Li pointed to the room inside and said.
The two quickly walked over. An old man in his sixties sat on the sofa and looked at a picture on the coffee table and shook his head. There is a woman standing next to the coffee table. Her eyes are very plump. Look carefully. The plumpness is just right. There is no trace of fatness at all. A professional suit shows an excellent curve on the chest, waist and buttocks. The long black hair is coiled behind the head, and then look at the face. It is a mature and beautiful touching melon seed face, except With some red and swollen eyes, he stared at the painting on the coffee table in a daze, and the other parts were perfect and almost impeccable.
"Sister Qian!" Zeng Xinfei shouted.
The woman seemed to be stunned just now. She didn't hear the sound of someone walking into the door at all. At this time, she realized that when she saw Zeng Xinfei, her delicate red lips trembled a few times, as if she choked and took a deep breath, "Feifei, the painting is indeed lost. This is the picture in the safe." Pointing to the painting on the desktop, his voice was calm and deep, but it was obviously forced to pretend. "I listened to you. I didn't call the police. I only checked it in the company. At present, there is no clue." Then he took a deep breath and said, "If the painting really can't be found, I will compensate."
Mr. Xin sighed heavily. Secretary Li put two cups of tea on the table and stood quietly, frowning slightly. Obviously, his mood was also quite heavy. If the painting was lost, the boss would definitely sell the company for compensation. After all, the painting was too valuable. After changing the boss, can the rest of the company remain stable, or will the company disintegrate in the end? It is inevitable to worry about these problems.
"Sister Qian, let's talk about the rest later. Now the main thing is to find the painting first and tell us the story in detail?" Zeng Xinfei took Yuan Bingqian's arm and sat on the sofa opposite Xin Lao.
Yuan Bingqian pinched her temple and seemed to want to wake herself up. "This morning, Xin Lao and three other antique experts and I studied the painting in the conference room. The more we analyzed it, the more it looked like the real one. Near noon, everyone felt that they were not satisfied, so they decided to finish lunch and continue to study it in the afternoon. But when we came back from dinner, we took the painting from the safe and it became the one on the table. It looked very similar to that one, but inside..." He shook his head and sighed.
"That is to say, this painting was lost while you were eating?" Fang Liwei asked.
Yuan Bingqian noticed Fang Liwei standing at the door and couldn't help looking at Zeng Xinfei doubtfully.
"He is Xiao Wei." Zeng Xinfei introduced, "Xiao Wei, this is Sister Qian."
Fang Liwei nodded and said hello.
Yuan Bingqian looked at him carefully. She has heard Mr. Liu and his daughter talk about it many times. This time, I saw him. His appearance is indeed a talent. No wonder he praised him. "I must have lost it during this period."
"What did you do after you finished reading the painting at that time?"
"I put it in this safe." Yuan Bingqian pointed to the larger safe embedded in the wall.
"Did you put it yourself?" Fang Liwei asked.
"No, it was Xiaolin who helped put it in." Seeing his doubts, he then explained, "He is Xiaolin." It's about Secretary Li.
"So before putting it in, only Secretary Li had been exposed to this painting?" Fang Liwei looked at Li Xiaolin and seemed to see something from her face.
"Yes." Yuan Bingqian admitted it.
"That is to say, both of you can open this safe?"
Boo nodded.
"Is there a third person?"
"No more."
Fang Liwei then asked, "There is no trace of prying the doors and windows in this room, right?"
"No, everything is as usual, and every time they leave, there will be security guards at the door, and they don't see anyone coming and going."
"The scope can only be concentrated on Secretary Li." Fang Liwei said with a deep meaning.
Li Xiaolin was stunned, and this was obviously suspicious of herself.
"No, I completely believe in Xiaolin. She will never do such a thing." Yuan Bingqian said with certainty.
Fang Liwei touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Well, Secretary Li, tell us in detail how you put the painting in the safe."
Li Xiaolin nodded, "After the general manager and Mr. Xin studied it, they asked me to put the painting in the safe. I put the picture, took it directly to this room, then locked the door, and then opened the safe. It used to be such a program before, and there was no mistake. I..."
"Wait." Fang Liwei interrupted her, "You mean the painting was taken here from the conference room."
"Yes!"
"How far is the conference room from here?"
"It's at the end of this floor."
Fang Liwei calculated that there were several offices in the middle, and then asked, "Who did you meet on your way back?"
Li Xiaolin thought, "They are all people in the company. The first thing they see is Accountant Zhu, and then Secretary Su, but they are far away."
"That is to say, no one else has touched this painting again?"
Secretary Li nodded and suddenly remembered, "Yes, when I passed Manager Leng's office, she was walking out of it and accidentally bumped into me."
"Where's the painting?" Fang Liwei asked immediately.
Li Xiaolin recalled and said, "Although it was not heavy at that time, I stumbled and fell to the ground without holding the painting firmly. I was shocked. When I stood firmly, I immediately went to pick up the painting, but Manager Leng was quick-eyed and grabbed the painting. He told me to be careful and returned the painting to me. After careful examination, there was nothing wrong, so I was relieved.
"Did you open it at that time?" Zeng Xinfei interrupted.
Li Xiaolin shook her head and said, "No!" He recalled carefully, "The time is so short, there should be no problem."
"Manager Leng is also an old man in the company." Yuan Bingqian still means to trust this person.
"Manager Leng..." Fang Liwei muttered, and then said to Yuan Bingqian and Zeng Xinfei, "Since Sister Qian thinks these people have no problem, I guess outsiders did it. It seems that it's better to call the police and let the police intervene in the investigation than our professional."
Yuan Xiaohui said worriedly, "But the words calling the police have a great impact on the company."
"Ha ha, this is not necessarily a negative impact." At this time, Fang Liwei was able to laugh, and he was really heartless. "If we say the value of this painting, it will definitely be treated as a big case. When the case is solved, the painting can be recovered. We may still have great benefits."
Zeng Xinfei frowned, but as smart as she was, she suddenly thought of Fang Liwei's intention. "You mean that through the the theft of this painting and the intervention of the police, take the opportunity to expand the influence, and the best is known all over the world, so as to improve popularity?"
Fang Liwei nodded with a smile, "Yes, it depends on how we operate. It can be directly said to be authentic, and we should also focus on promoting how many times the compensation of the owner if the painting can't be found, which will not only not affect the company, but also increase the credibility."
"Good idea!" Zeng Xinfei smiled, "But what if I really can't find the painting?"
"If you can't find it, just declare that you will give a huge amount of compensation and how satisfied the painter is. Anyway, you have to make a gesture, which is the matter of the two of you. As for how to give it, or not, it's all up to you two."
"That's good. I think it's feasible." Zeng Xinfei looked at Yuan Bingqian.
Yuan Bingqian's big red and swollen eyes have been staring at Fang Liwei. Originally, she thought she had encountered a hurdle that could not be avoided, but she didn't expect the little guy to say a few words. In fact, the reason is quite simple, but I've been in a hurry. In addition, I don't know if Zeng Xinfei's real thoughts will open his mouth and directly bankrupt himself. Now that she also agrees, let's do it like this. We will discuss and solve the follow-up matters, and directly nodded and said, "Call the police!"
