Chu Chen brought Xia Shiyan to a famous antique city in Jiang Zhou.
Xia Shiyan said that her father had recently fallen in love with painting and calligraphy, so Chu Chen navigated to this place.

[Random Task: Detected arrival at Myriad Treasures Store. Check in or not.]
Chu Chen and Xia Shiyan had just gotten out of the car when the system's voice suddenly sounded.
"Punch in."
This was a free mission, so Chu Chen didn't hesitate to swipe his card.
Ding! Punch in successful.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the basic ability to scan everything (20 minutes time limit)]
As Chu Chen successfully logged in, the system's voice sounded.
"Beginner scanning of all things, only twenty minutes?”
Chu Chen muttered. Out of curiosity, Chu Chen subconsciously scanned a girl not far away.
The system's voice sounded again after the scan.
Your authority is not enough. You can only scan the information of items. If you want to scan people, you need to level up.
Following the system notification, Chu Chen understood.
"Scanning items isn't bad either."
With this ability, Chu Chen was able to walk around the Antique City as if he was cheating.
With a casual glance, he knew the information and authenticity of the antiques.
"Let's go."
Looking at the countdown timer, Chu Chen and Xia Shiyan immediately walked into the Antique City.
Twenty minutes later, Chu Chen and Xia Shiyan walked out with a painting and a bronze Buddha statue.
Beginner's scan of all things time is up.
Following the system's reminder, Chu Chen's ability to scan everything disappeared.
"What a pity. The time is too short. I hope it will be longer next time, or it will rise to the intermediate level.”
Chu Chen sighed.
The feeling of browsing the antique city with a cheat was too great.
That was simply picking up money!
Although he only had 20 minutes, Chu Chen had found two decent treasures in that short time.
It would be a smooth trip to Xia Shiyan's house tonight.
With the two treasures, Chu Chen and Xia Shiyan got into the car and went straight to Xia Shiyan's house.
……
Xia Shiyan's house was in a famous villa area in Jiangzhou, Yunjian Villa.
Although the Yunjian Villa was slightly inferior to the Nine Chapters Residence, it was still famous in Jiang Zhou. Any villa in it had already sold for more than 100 million yuan.
Most of the people who lived in Yunjian Villa were the top tycoons or dignitaries in Jiang Prefecture.
Today, a special guest came to Xia Shiyan's house.
"Wen Le, sit down."
Xia Shiyan's parents were entertaining the guest in the living room.
Thank you, Uncle Xia, Auntie Xia."
The customer was a young man in his mid-twenties. He was wearing a white suit and his skin was unusually fair.
He was none other than Shen Wenle, the crown prince of the famous Shen Corporation in Jiangzhou.
Xia Shiyan's father and Shen Wenle's father were old acquaintances, and the two companies would cooperate from time to time.
As mentioned before, Xia Shiyan's parents were even planning to arrange a blind date for Xia Shiyan.
And this Shen Wenle was their first choice.
"Wen Le, what has your father been doing recently?”Xia Shiyan's father asked curiously.
"It's nothing. My father recently went to Hangzhou to discuss cooperation with the Qianyuan Group in Hangzhou.”
Shen Wenle replied. When he mentioned the Qianyuan Group, Shen Wenle especially emphasized his tone.
Qianyuan Group?
Hearing this, Xia Shiyan's parents were stunned.
They had heard some rumors before, but they did not expect it to be true. The Shen Group was really going to cooperate with the Qianyuan Group.
Even in Jiangzhou, the name of the Qianyuan Group was well-known.
Qianyuan Group was a famous investment group in Hangzhou. It was said that its total assets had reached 50 billion.
If the Shen Group could cooperate with the Qianyuan Group, it would probably soar in Jiangzhou.
"Father has been too busy recently and didn't have time to come. He knew that Uncle Xia likes to drink tea, so he asked me to bring some top-grade Peace Monkey Kui for Uncle Xia.”
As she spoke, Shen Wenle took out the gift she had prepared.
Taiping Houkui?
Hearing this, Xia Shiyan's father was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Wenle to be able to get the best Taiping Monkey Kui.
Taiping Houkui was one of the five top-grade teas. Its price was ridiculously high.
In an auction ten years ago, a 100-gram Taiping Monkey Chief was sold for a sky-high price of 200,000 yuan.
Now, its price had probably increased tenfold.
Moreover, the annual output of the top-notch Taiping Monkey Kui was limited. Sometimes, one might not be able to buy it even if one had money.
"You're too kind. When you go back, thank your father for me.”
Xia Shiyan's father spoke. He and Xia Shiyan's mother looked at each other. Both of them were quite satisfied with Shen Wenle.
This child was very polite, handsome, and well-matched in social status. He was simply the best candidate for Shiyan's boyfriend.
"Uncle Xia is too polite."
"By the way, Uncle Xia, father asked me to bring you the top-grade Peaceful Monkey Kui just now.”
"I still have an ancient painting here. I thought it looked good some time ago, so I bought it, but I don't understand it. Today, I'll ask Uncle Xia to appreciate it.”
As she spoke, Shen Wenle pushed a rectangular brocade box forward.
"An ancient painting."
Just as Xia Shiyan's father was about to open the brocade box, the door of the villa was opened from the outside.
Xia Shiyan and Chu Chen walked in.
"Dad, Mom, I brought my boyfriend back.”
Xia Shiyan announced loudly.
As soon as he said that, the entire villa fell into silence.
At this time, Xia Shiyan also noticed that there was a guest in the house, and it was Shen Wenle.
Xia Shiyan's expression changed. She didn't have a good impression of Shen Wenle, this hypocrite.
On the contrary, his parents liked him very much.
She didn't expect Shen Wenle to come to her house today. Xia Shiyan introduced Shen Wenle to Chu Chen in a low voice.
Hearing her daughter's words, Xia Shiyan's parents walked over and looked at Chu Chen in astonishment.
"And this is?"
"Dad, Mom, this is my boyfriend, Chu Chen.”
Xia Shiyan introduced Chu Chen in a serious manner, which confused Xia Shiyan's parents.
"Shiyan, don't you have a boyfriend?”
Her mother asked Xia Shiyan in confusion.
"We just confirmed our relationship today."
Xia Shiyan's parents looked at each other again, feeling the awkward atmosphere.
"Hello, Uncle and Auntie."
Chu Chen greeted.
"Please come in."
Xia Shiyan's parents invited Chu Chen in as well.
Not far away, Shen Wenle looked at Chu Chen with a hint of darkness in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"Shiyan."
After seeing Xia Shiyan, Shen Wenle greeted her warmly.
"We're not that close. Please call me by my full name, Xia Shiyan.”
Xia Shiyan replied coldly.
"Dad, this is a gift Chu Chen prepared for you. It's a calligraphy painting.”
As soon as she sat down, Xia Shiyan took out the brocade box with the calligraphy and painting.
"Oh, it's also a calligraphy painting that I prepared. What a coincidence.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Wenle said in a strange tone. After saying that, he took the lead to open his brocade box and took out an ancient painting that he had spent a lot of money to get.
Looking at the ancient painting that Shen Wenle opened, Xia Shiyan's father was stunned and said in shock,"
"This is Wen Zhengming's painting?"
Wen Zhengming, along with the famous Tang Yin and Tang Bohu, were known as the Four Great Talents of Jiangnan!
And his calligraphy and paintings all started at ten million.
