On August 2, Bian Xuedao drank a meal of wine, and the groom of the wine was Shen Ya'an.

Shen Ya'an ended her previous marriage in name only, and then, she got married in a flash.

In the private room of the hotel, the bride was stunned for a moment when she saw Bian Xuedao, and Bian Xuedao also had a sense of déjà vu when she saw the bride.

Sitting down with doubts in his heart, he looked at the bride a few times, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

Could it be someone I've seen in a previous life?

In order to drink Shen Ya'an's happy wine, Hong Chengfu deliberately rushed back from Europe.

Originally, he wanted to bring Pei Tong back with him, but the people from Youdao Group were on vacation at the French winery, and they were afraid that Dong Xue, Zhu Shisan and Lu Wenjin would not be busy, so Pei Tong did not come back together.

Hong Chengfu didn't know the origin of the bride, he was very dissatisfied with Shen Ya'an's secrecy, so as soon as he sat down, he began to "interrogate" the bride.

Facing everyone's curious eyes, the bride wearing a cheongsam was very generous, and introduced herself: "My surname is Ai, and my name is Ai Zhen." ”

Ai Zhen is a 32-year-old painter with his own galleries in Yanjing, Shudu and Shanghai.

In addition to the bride and groom, the other 8 people in the private room are not ordinary people, and when they heard that the bride has three private galleries, they knew that Ai Zhen was not simple.

The reason is very simple, ordinary people can't afford to open a gallery, and even if they do, they can't bear the "dismal management" of the general environment.

What is the big picture?

First, the share of transactions in the Chinese art market is strictly biased towards the secondary market (auction houses), and it is difficult for domestic galleries to survive by selling paintings like foreign galleries.

Second, in foreign countries, most painters are only responsible for the production of artworks, that is, they paint with peace of mind. Promotion and sales are handed over to the galleries they have signed for. In China, due to the late start of the gallery industry, some gallery teams lack business capacity, shortage of operating funds, and imperfect agency mechanism, so that many painters are not willing to accept the gallery's commission, and turn to directly contact buyers for themselves to negotiate business, production, promotion, and sales.

The separation of the painter and the gallery is actually a lose-lose.

First of all, human energy is limited, and painters are no exception. Even if a painter can obtain huge benefits in the short term, in the long run, it will affect the growth of personal artistic value due to the lack of sufficient time and energy to create. As for the gallery, without the support of the painter, it can only be reduced to a painting shop.

Shen Ya'an's bride can have galleries in Yanjing, Shudu and Shanghai, which shows that she has strong financial resources, high artistic accomplishment and communication skills, extensive media channels, rich collector resources, and standardized operation and management.

This is a strong woman.

Thinking of a strong woman, Bian Xuedao remembered where he had seen Ai Zhen.

When he directed and acted in a car accident in Sishan, Ai Zhen was sitting in the Mercedes-Benz car that participated in the rescue, the difference is that Ai Zhen had long hair at that time.

What a coincidence!

Looking at Ai Zhen, Bian Xuedao asked thoughtlessly, "Do you remember me?"

Ai Zhen looked at Bian Xuedao with a smile on the corner of his mouth and nodded.

Hong Chengfu looked at Bian Xue with a look of surprise and said, "You two know each other?"

Bian Xuedao said: "Miss Ai saved my life. ”

Hong Chengfu: "......"

Ai Zhen said: "It's not as exaggerated as Bian always said, I was just passing by at that time, and I didn't even get out of the car." ”

Shen Ya'an didn't know what dumb riddle the two were playing, and asked Ai Zhen, "When did it happen?"

Ai Zhen said: "Last year, in the four mountains. ”

There is nothing to say about the car accident, in fact, the car accident incident was his talisman after the 2008 earthquake, so he is not afraid that people will know, but he is afraid that others will not know.

In addition, seeing Ai Zhen again and having a certain connection, Bian Xuedao felt that it was particularly magical, so he rarely talked about the car accident in Sishan.

After listening to Bian Xuedao, the people in the private room sighed at the incredibleness of the world.

Fu Caining, who was invited by Shen Ya'an to drink the wedding wine, asked Bian Xuedao: "After the accident, you didn't contact Mr. Ai to express your gratitude?"

This is a bit prickly, but this is Fu Caining's style, and at the same time, this is also the reason why Shen Ya'an admires Fu Caining very much and invites her to participate in his wedding banquet - like things gather!

Fu Caining's style is entirely because Fu Lixing, who has studied abroad, has cultivated his daughter's independent personality since she was a child, and Fu Caining has been educated and lived abroad for many years, and has always believed that work is work and life is life. In Fu Caining's eyes, the working hours are in the company, and Bian Xuedao is the boss. Walking out of the company and attending a party like today, everyone is an acquaintance and a friend, and there is no need to be silent.

After Fu Caining asked, without waiting for Bian Xuedao to speak, Ai Zhen answered: "At that time, Mr. Bian was hospitalized, and he sent someone to contact us, because I didn't think it actually helped much, and the gallery in Shanghai had an event to leave Shudu, so we didn't meet." ”

Speaking of this, Bian Xuedao filled himself with a glass of wine, raised his glass to Ai Zhen and said, "Da En has not thanked you, this cup is a late thanks." ”

Hong Chengfu looked at Shen Ya'an, then at Ai Zhen, and said in his heart: Old Shen Xing!

Of course, Hong Chengfu himself is not bad, his girlfriend Pei Tong is Dong Xue's cousin, although Dong Xue can only be raised in Europe nine times out of ten, but in general, he and Bian Xuedao are still brothers-in-law!

After drinking a glass of wine with Ai Zhen, he put down the wine glass and said, "I happened to meet today, please Miss Ai do me a favor." ”

Ai Zhen smiled and said, "You say." ”

Bian Xuedao said: "There are a few paintings at home and in the office, and I don't have much appreciation, so after Miss Ai goes back, help me pick a few, and I can hang them on the wall and decorate the façade." ”

As soon as you hear it, you know that this is "repaying gratitude"!

Ai Zhen said: "This is really difficult for me, everyone's aesthetic standards and appreciation preferences are different. ”

Bian Xuedao waved his hand and said: "I don't pay so much attention to it, I don't pick the painting method and color, just one point, the artistic conception of the painting should be positive and vibrant, not gloomy and sad." ”

Ai Zhen was not hypocritical, and asked, "How many are you going to want?"

Bian Xuedao thought for a while and said: "Happy events come in pairs, perfect and perfect, just 10 pieces!"

An hour later.

Bian Xuedao and Shen Ya'an came to the encounter bar.

It was Hong Chengfu who came to the bar, according to his words, Shen Ya'an "scored twice", and he couldn't let him go if he didn't drink wine today. In fact, it was Shen Ya'an who was worried about learning the Tao and saving the good wine in the bar.

In the bar, I sat in a special seat on the second floor and drank 5 rounds of wine in a row.

Shen Ya'an turned his head sideways and said to Bian Xuedao, "Thank you today." ”

Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "I haven't drunk it for a long time, and I'm really a little greedy." ”

In the 8th round, Ai Zhen didn't do much, Fu Caining got drunk first, and Ai Zhen got up to accompany her to the bathroom.

The woman was not there, Hong Chengfu touched the cup with Shen Ya'an and said, "Where did you know such a good woman?"

Shen Ya'an said: "In a café in Yanjing. ”

Hong Chengfu asked, "How did you do it?"

Shen Ya'an took a sip of wine and said with a smile in her eyes: "A woman is water, if you treat her with 0 degrees, she will freeze, if you love her with 100 degrees, she will boil, and the temperature of a woman is your attitude towards her." So, you can understand that she got me first and asked me to face her with 100 degrees of enthusiasm. ”

Hong Chengfu poured himself a cup, and poured a cup for Bian Xuedao and Shen Ya'an, sighed and said, "I thought you couldn't make up your mind to divorce Catherine." ”

Catherine ......

This is the first time Bian Xuedao has heard Hong Chengfu mention the name of Shen Ya'an's Chinese-American ex-wife.

Listening to Hong Chengfu talk about Catherine, Shen Ya'an, who had drunk a lot of wine that night, didn't speak, fumbled in the pocket of his clothes for a while, took out a coin, and put it on the table.

Shen Ya'an looked at the coins on the table and said, "Actually, I am in a dilemma before making a decision. ”

Catherine ...... Ai Zhen ...... Between two fires......

Bian Xuedao could especially understand what Shen Ya'an was like when he said "dilemma", so he looked at Shen Ya'an very seriously to see what he said next.

Shen Ya'an reached out and picked up the coin on the table, glanced at the front and back of the coin, and then said, "I can't make a decision on my own, so I thought of flipping a coin." ”

After a pause of two seconds, Shen Ya'an continued: "I imagined one side of the coin as Catherine and the other side as Ai Zhen, and my idea was that after the coin landed, I would choose who would face up, and make a decision. ”

Hong Chengfu asked, "Ai Zhen's face up?"

Shen Ya'an listened, smiled meaningfully and said, "It's Catherine's side up." ”

Bian Xuedao asked, "You threw it again?"

Shen Ya'an shook his head: "I only threw it once." ”

Hong Chengfu: "......"

Shen Ya'an said: "When I saw Catherine's face up, I strongly wanted to flip the coin again, and at that time, I suddenly realized that I already had the answer in my heart. ”

………………

Shen Ya'an and Hong Chengfu were both drunk.

Fortunately, the bar was next to the Shangxiu Hotel, and several people stayed directly in the Shangxiu Hotel.

Bian Xuedao wanted to arrange a room for Fu Caining, but Fu Caining, who didn't want to get drunk, said that he wouldn't stay in a hotel, and he was shouting to go home.

Helping Fu Caining into the car, Li Bing drove straight to Fu Caining's community.

After getting drunk, Fu Caining talked a little too much, she asked Bian Xuedao for a while some details of the car accident in Sishan, and asked Bian Xuedao for a while if she could let her pick one first after Ai Zhen sent the painting over?

Bian Xuedao asked Fu Caining: "Do you miss the old man?"

Fu Caining nodded and did not speak.

Bian Xuedao said, "Did you call him?"

Fu Caining nodded and shook his head again.

Bian Xuedao asked, "What do you mean by shaking your head?"

Fu Caining said: "I called, but I didn't ask him when he would come back. ”

"Why don't you ask?"

"I'm afraid he's proud. ”

Bian Xuedao frowned and asked, "What kind of logic is this?"

Fu Caining leaned back in his seat and said, "You don't understand. ”

Bian Xuedao said: "Then let's talk about something I can understand." ”

Fu Caining said: "I have had a wish since I was a child, I want to bury a precious thing in every place where I have lived happily, and when I become old and ugly, I will go back and dig them out and remember the good old days." ”

Bian Xuedao said: "You might as well find a man, travel the world with him, and then when you are old, sit on the bench and talk about the past, which is much more interesting than reminiscing alone." ”

Fu Caining suddenly sat up straight and said, "Who said I don't have a man?"

Bian Xuedao was stunned: "I didn't say you don't have a man!"

Fu Caining said: "What you just said was to say that I don't have a man. ”

Bian Xuedao: "......"

Fu Caining said: "Okay, I admit that I don't have a man now. ”

Bian Xuedao said: "You have good conditions, there will be many men who like you." ”

Fu Caining suddenly lowered his head and said for a while: "I have small breasts ......"

Bian Xuedao glanced at Fu Caining's chest and said, "It's okay, the son is saying on the river-the big ditch and the small ditch are all ditches, don't be inferior." ”
