Chapter 34 Pick-up

When Tagawa returned home, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. As soon as he entered the door, he said to his mother, who heard the movement, and said, "Mom, does you have anything to eat? ”

My mother asked distressedly, "Why are you so busy that you haven't eaten so late, what kind of foundation has so many things?" Then while giving Tagawa a hot meal, he nagged: "You donated so much money in that foundation, and you are still busy like this, what are you trying to do?" If you want me to say, you just leave things to those officials to do, anyway, you donate the most money, and your name will be ranked first in the future. ”

Tian Chuan retorted: "You don't understand this, this matter is of far-reaching significance, and it will be one of the greatest achievements of your son and my life in the future." Also, I really want to do something practical for my alma mater and teachers, of course, I have to do it myself and take it seriously. ”

Mom didn't say anything more, just told him to pay attention to his recuperation and not to be too busy.

Early the next morning, Tagawa went to the fishing ground that had been contacted in advance and talked to the boss about hosting the competition. The boss has received calls from Li Tao and Liu Xiaojun and is very enthusiastic about him.

This fishing pond is rebuilt by a canal, the average water depth is 1.5 meters, the width is about 10 meters, the length is more than 100 meters, the water color is green and yellow, there are more than 40 fishing friends around, and the fishing situation is okay.

The boss said: "This is a simple fishing pond, crucian carp and carp are mixed, and there are a few big fish of more than ten catties." Every Saturday morning, more than 400 catties of large crucian carp and 200 catties of carp are put in. Saturday is 60 a day, and usually 30 a day. Usually there are about 50 people on weekends, but today it is a little smaller. ”

Tian Chuan said: "Let me try the rod, there is not much difference between the bottom of the water, right?" The boss said that he did not have a particularly good fishing position in this pool, and the more fishing was mainly based on the technique.

Tagawa opened the bait and lowered the rod, changed three or four fishing positions, and felt that it was okay, so he agreed with the boss to charter the farm next Saturday and Sunday, release the fish on Saturday without opening the rod, and hold a competition on Sunday, and the fishing catch can be taken away. The boss will enlarge 500 catties of crucian carp next Saturday, 200 catties of small crucian carp with more than 1 tael, 400 catties of carp with 2 catties, and 200 catties of large carp with more than 4 catties. The price of the charter is 10,000 yuan, and the boss should draw the fishing position with white ash in advance by the pond according to 2 meters and a grid, and pay half of the fee today, and pay the other half after the game. At the same time, it is explained that the competition is only held in the morning for half a day, and the boss can sell tickets after 11 o'clock to start fishing.

After agreeing on the matter, the boss was busy writing notices and informing the fishing friends present, Tian Chuan was also ready to pack up and go home, as for the dozens of catties of fish caught, he was not ready to ask, but the boss got a bag to help him fill it, and said: "You don't want this fish and don't know who is cheaper, or take it back to eat." ”

When Tagawa returned home, he decided on the rules of the competition, notified the club members through a fishing tackle shop notice, as well as phone calls and pagers, and sent invitations to those who did not have a phone.

The competition is limited to members, but two members can recommend a non-member to participate, the registration fee is 80 yuan per member, 150 yuan for non-members, the competition has two awards, the total weight and the total number of crucian carp, each of which takes the top five to be rewarded, and the prizes are all kinds of fishing gear and fishing gear supermarket vouchers, with a total prize of about 6,000 yuan.

You can bring 3 rods into the competition site, and only one is allowed to enter the water, and there is no limit to bait.

Each contestant will receive a fishing horse clip and a hat. Sponsored by Tackle Supermarket with supermarket advertisements printed on it. Horse clips and hats are one of the vouchers and must be worn.

Tian Chuan estimated that the fishing tackle supermarket would spend about 20,000 yuan on sponsorship for the competition, but it was worth it compared to the advertising revenue brought to the store.

When he returned home, Tagawa asked his parents to distribute the fish to the workers of the chicken farm, and returned to the capital without staying long.

After returning to Beijing, Tagawa went to Gu Chenglin's studio and retrieved the framed paintings. The framing and restoration techniques of the ancestors of the Gu family are really excellent, and the framing is very exquisite.

He left Mr. Zhou's portrait in the studio for processing, took the framed painting home, selected it repeatedly among the paintings, and finally decided to send the oil painting of "Worker" and Wu Changshuo's calligraphy to the exhibition, plus his own four calligraphy and five sketches, which should be a lot. I can create a few more pieces in the past ten days, and I can make up almost 20 pieces.

He also took out Xu Beihong's "Huang Jiguang" and Li Keran's "Lijiang Landscape", plus a bunch of Wu Changshuo's seals, and prepared to send them to Christie's for auction. No way, he's short of money.

He had already obtained the phone number of Carlta from Liu Tianyu in advance, and after calling, the auction house asked him to come over now.

Tagawa came to Carlta with paintings and seals, and was received by a manager. After entering the reception room, the manager was very excited to see the calligraphy and paintings brought by Tian Chuan, and invited several appraisers to spend more than half an hour and concluded that the calligraphy and paintings and seals were real.

They valued "Huang Jiguang" at 25 million yuan, "Lijiang Landscape" at 8 million yuan, and seal at 2.6 million yuan. The manager suggested that he participate in the autumn auctions in Hong Kong, where the paintings could fetch a higher price. Tian Chuan asked Qingqing that the autumn auction would be held at the end of the month, and now he was just able to catch the last train, which would not affect the cooperation and investment with Luan Jianjun, so he agreed.

When he got home in the evening, he counted the people to be invited to the special auction and prepared the invitations to be sent. The three Li Tao brothers each sent a few cards and asked them to help pull people, several professors and leaders who cooperated with the school, classmates in the same dormitory, a few friends who went to school in Beijing, and a few more to Xu Jingyi, and it was almost the same.

The next morning, when he was exercising, he brought an invitation letter to Mr. Wu, who taught him Chen's Taijiquan, and Mr. Wu was really happy.

All day long, he soaked in school, attended classes, asked Mr. Zhong about harmless vegetable planting, and reviewed the drawings of small pieces of fishing gear completed by Professor Zhao, and proposed amendments.

I was busy until the evening, and I invited Professor Zhao and several students involved in the design to have dinner, and when I got home, it was already past nine o'clock.

Dragged the tired body on the treadmill for a while, took a shower and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Tian Chuan got up and sent an unread text message on his mobile phone, which was sent by an unfamiliar number last night, and there were several:

"Guess who I am"

"Did you sleep?"

"Missed you"

"Are you in the capital?"

Looking at the tone, it may be Xu Jingyi, did she buy a mobile phone? Tian Chuan dialed back according to the original number, and picked it up as soon as it rang, Xu Jingyi's voice came from the phone:

"Hey, Tagawa?"

"Jingyi, did you buy a mobile phone? I should buy it for you. ”

"Why didn't you reply to the message yesterday?

"I was so tired yesterday that I went to bed early. In the past few days, I have been running in Yongyang, Jinshi and Beijing, and I have been busy until late every day. Yesterday ended early, just after 9 o'clock, I was fine, took a shower and went to sleep. ”

"I haven't seen you in days, I miss you. ”

"I miss you too. Do you have too many classes today? Or if you skip class for a day, I'll take you to play. ”

"You think it's all you? If you don't go to class, the teacher will deduct the usual points. See you in the evening, in vain. ”

"Wood, white, Moda. ”

Hanging up the phone and thinking of his relationship with Xu Jingyi, Tian Chuan felt a little strange and lacked a sense of longing. There is no obstacle when you meet, and it seems that there is nothing if you don't see each other for a week, and the stickiness between young people who are in love for the first time doesn't seem to exist. may be the reason why his mental age is in his forties, and at the same time, Xiaohui's shadow is always floating in his heart and cannot be erased.

Tagawa shook his head, threw these miscellaneous thoughts out of his mind, changed into sportswear, and went out for a run and boxing.

He has already written down the names of the movements of Chen's Taijiquan old routines, and he also remembers the movements, but he is not familiar with the strings. I fought Sun style boxing today, and Mr. Wu has arrived.

Tian Chuan beat the old frame routine in front of Wu Lao, and Wu Lao corrected several deficiencies in his boxing and power characteristics, and let him practice by himself. Tian Chuan turned around and exerted his strength over and over again, feeling the difference between the Chen style and the Sun style and the Yang style boxing he had practiced.

After practicing boxing today, Mr. Wu was not in a hurry to go back, but talked to Tian Chuan about the special auction. Listening to Tian Chuan's explanation of the foundation's situation, and then introduced the composition of the auction, Jiang Lao said that he would definitely go to see it when he said it, strive for something to be auctioned, and support Tian Chuan's behavior of contributing to his alma mater.

On the way back, Tagawa received a call from Chairman Gao that two painter alumni in Europe would arrive at the Beijing Airport at 4 p.m. and asked Tagawa to pick him up. Tian Chuan agreed, thinking that his date with Xu Jingyi was yellow again.

When he got home, he received another phone call from Jiang Jianbing, informing him that the two dismantling machines were about to be completed, and asked him to prepare materials for the test machine.

Tian Chuan transferred his hand to Wu Hongjian and asked him to prepare hundreds of kilograms of waste wires and motors, ready to be used for testing. Wu Hongjian had already prepared his things, and Tian Chuan made an appointment with him to test the machine next Tuesday.

There was nothing scheduled in the morning, so Tian Chuan wanted to draw the way Tai Chi was exerted. But he hasn't figured out how to exert force himself, and of course he can't draw it. He dropped his paintbrush and went downstairs, drove to Beijing Normal University, and went to find Xu Jingyi.

After Xu Jingyi got out of class at noon, she returned to the dormitory with a smile and a smile with her classmates to prepare for lunch.

When I went downstairs to the dormitory, I saw a big boy full of sunshine, with his hands in his pockets, looking at her with a smile on his face. Many girls have seen Tian Chuan, and the two fights he fought downstairs in this dormitory attracted a lot of attention.

When Xu Jingyi saw Tian Chuan, the joy in her heart was indescribable, and she was a little flurry, and then opened her sigh like a swallow returning to the nest and threw herself into Tian Chuan's arms. The surrounding classmates surrounded them with envious eyes.

Tian Chuan hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Baby, I'll take you to a big meal." ”

In the car, Tian Chuan asked Xu Jingyi: "What do you want to eat? Chinese or Western food?"

Xu Jingyi said: "Whatever, why did you come here at noon, and you don't have time at night, right?"

Tian Chuan grinned bitterly: "The two senior brothers who came to participate in the charity sale of calligraphy and painting flew from France at four o'clock in the afternoon, can you accompany me to pick them up?"

"There are still classes in the afternoon, and I don't go, let alone I don't know. ”

"I don't know you either, but that's your alumnus. Come with me and help me save face. ”

"Don't go!"

In the end, Xu Jingyi still didn't go, and the two had dinner together at noon, so Tian Chuan sent her back to school and rushed to the airport by herself.

It was just 3 o'clock when Tagawa arrived at the airport, and it was still early. He parked the car and wrote the names of the two alumni on the drawing board in large letters, ready to use them to pick up the station.

There are a lot of people at the pick-up gate of the international terminal, and it feels quite bustling. Tagawa saw that the time was still early, and the plane that landed at 4 o'clock had to get off the plane, pick up luggage, and clear customs, and there was no 30 minutes to get out. It's just past 3 o'clock, and there's still an hour and a half left, so I need to find something to do.

He put the paper at his feet, selected a self-portrait of himself from a stack of sketches, and wrote in the margin:

Portrait, sketch 40 minutes, 50 yuan

Sketch, 5 minutes, 10 yuan

Comics, 5 minutes, 20 yuan

When the advertisement was posted, people gathered around curiously, and someone asked, "Can you draw like it?"

Tagawa replied: "Giving money after painting is not like not asking for money." “

Sure enough, a young man said, "Your self-portrait is a sketch, right? ”

Tagawa brought only one fishing folding stool, which he gave to the customer to sit on, and sat cross-legged on the ground himself, holding a drawing board.

As soon as he drew for a while, two airport security guards came over: "You can't do business here, hurry up and take it!"

Tian Chuan looked up at them, put away the advertisement, and said, "It's okay not to charge money, right? “

The two security guards didn't say anything more and stood by to watch him draw. Half an hour later, the portrait was finished, and the young man took the portrait and was satisfied. When he wanted to pay for it, he was rejected by Tagawa: "You're lucky, you're just in time for a big free promotion, don't want money." ”

After that, some people asked for portraits one after another, and Tagawa really didn't want money, but only sketches, and no longer drew time-consuming sketches.
