The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5711

After saying that, he quickly asked Charlie, “My dear son-in-law, can I take this painting, then?”

Charlie nodded and said with a smile, “Dad, if someone asks you about this painting, just say you bought it from someone but you can’t remember the person’s appearance. As for the process of buying it, you can use your imagination freely to exaggerate and brag about it as much as you want. It’s fine as long as you don’t deviate from the main idea.”

Jacob asked in surprise, “My dear son-in-law, wouldn't it be better if I simply said it was a gift from a friend or that it was from my own collection?”

Charlie replied earnestly, “Dad, other people might not recognize this painting, but my client would. If he finds out that you're bragging about someone else's painting, he might blame me. If you do it my way, he will know we're protecting his privacy rather than trying to brag about ourselves, and he will feel better as well.”

Jacob sighed reluctantly and said, “Okay, then. I’ll do as you say.”

Charlie smiled slightly and put his hand on Jacob’s arm as he said seriously, “Dad, don't forget. From now on, this painting is something you bought at a low price, and it was right at the entrance of Thompson First. A person whom you didn’t recognize stopped you and insisted on selling it to you for a hundred bucks.”

After he was done speaking, a trace of Reiki entered Jacob’s mind as he quietly implanted a psychological hint in him. It would only be triggered when someone asked about the origin of the painting.

Jacob nodded instinctively. The psychological hint had already been deeply implanted in his mind by then.

Charlie smiled and asked him, “Dad, where did you get this painting?”

Therefore, Charlie deliberately asked, “Dad, isn't it too much for you to brag like this in front of your own family? Tell me honestly, where did this painting come from?”

Jacob chuckled and said, “My dear son-in-law, you really understand me. You could tell that I was bragging at a glance.”

With that said, Jacob then said mysteriously, “To tell you the truth, I really found this painting while scavenging. It's just that it was not as mysterious as I made it out to be earlier. I went out yesterday, and a guy stopped me at the entrance of Thompson First and insisted on selling this painting to me. He only asked for a hundred bucks for this painting. I thought the painting was good, and even if it's a modern piece, it should be worth more than a hundred dollars at least. Isn't it obvious that he was practically giving it away? So, I bought it from him!”

Charlie nodded in satisfaction and said, “Alright, Dad. Hurry up and find a place for this painting at the Calligraphy and Painting Association. If you don't maintain a high profile, I’m afraid that you will not be able to keep your position as the vice president!”
