On the way to the airport, Hong Qiaoyun was also in a similar posture, sitting in the co-pilot, he put his feet off his high heels under the windshield that was lower than most cars, and lay down comfortably, it seemed that it was really a problem with the model: "Having a driver is comfortable! Find a weekend to stop for a day and send me home for a trip, my parents' house." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Shi Jianren nodded: "There are indeed relatively few boxed lunches on weekends, and you don't need to send them to your graduate students and studios, no problem." ”

Hong Qiaoyun began to talk about the relationship between his collaborators: "Generally speaking, we have a fixed contract gallery, and people will help promote it in the art market, which is similar to the system of brokers, but Jiangzhou is far away from the bustling art center, and only Hong Kong, Huhai and Pingjing can be said in China, and then Taipei, Tokyo, Paris, London and New York, my main market is still in the Chinese area, and holding an exhibition in Paris is considered to raise the status, but in fact, it has not yet reached that point, and this year I will try to hold an exhibition in Germany, and you will accompany me then?"

The driver was suddenly a little moved to see the world: "Is it okay?"

Hong Qiaoyun smiled and took out a small wallet from his handbag: "How easy it is to apply for a passport, the fees are all invited by the organizer...... I bought you a phone number, and my phone numbers with Geng Meizi are stored in it, so it's easy to contact. ”

The young man driving glanced at it and nodded, but he was a little puzzled: "It's so small, can it fit?"

Hong Qiaoyun laughed twice and opened the wallet, and really took out a black square the size of a palm: "I asked Xiao Dai to buy it, it is said to be the latest and most fashionable now, you are the best, don't be twisted, I originally wanted to say that I was grateful to you for helping me figure out the accounting problem, but I was small-minded." ”

Shi Jianren hehe: "You give me such an expensive thing, and you want you to do self-criticism?" In fact, this is nothing to us, don't take it to heart, I don't have a few phone calls to make, it is estimated that you and Geng Meizi support me, what do I have to twist?"

Hong Qiaoyun simply opened the wallet and signaled to the driver: "There is also a bank card, I have deposited 20,000 yuan in it, today's consumption, you will swipe the card to settle for similar things in the future, will you use it?"

Shi Jianren was immediately interested in the process of swiping the card, and seriously asked Hong Qiaoyun to describe the process to him, but he wanted to explore the principle behind the operation of the bank card, and the university professor was a little struggling: "Anyway, the credit card can be overdrawn, and the bank card is stored in it so that you don't need to bring cash at any time, in case it is not enough, you can call me at any time to inform me to transfer the money in, foreigners are very accustomed to using the card." ”

Shi Jianren thought deeply and kept up with the rhythm of the times: "Okay, go back and buy a book in this area to study, yes, I will also write you a bill, I have read some of the ledgers in the computer, it is not difficult." ”

It was dark late in the summer evening, and Hong Qiaoyun looked at the driver by the light of the sunset outside, a little distracted: "I ...... At your age, it's good to have such a calm and positive mindset. ”

She had said something similar in front of Shi Jianren more than once, and Shi Jianren glanced at her: "Then should I also say that I am lucky to meet a friend like you at this age to help me smooth out these trivial things in life that I am not very good at?"

Hong Qiaoyun laughed again: "Well, when I was eighteen or nineteen years old, I only had a strong desire to get out, which was much stronger than Sister Geng's now, so I missed a lot of things." ”

Shi Jianren shook his head: "Master said that the ups and downs of the experience are not missed, without the few bowls of rice eaten in front, can you say that you are full in the last bite?"

Hong Qiaoyun applauded applauded: "Okay, the experience of growing up, really, since I met you, my mentality is really a little different, much more peaceful, I can look at all kinds of people who treated me in the past with a grateful attitude, so that I won't be lonely in the future, right?"

Shi Jianren nodded: "So, when your mentality changes and adjusts, your face will be soft and virtuous, maybe the person who can really accompany you for many days will naturally appear, right?"

Hong Qiaoyun's eyes stayed on him, leaned on the back of the chair for a long time and didn't move away, stretched out his hand to turn on the stereo on the center console between the two, the luxury van reverberated with quite pleasant jazz music, the CD was taken by Hong Qiaoyun from the studio, Shi Jianren couldn't help but start asking about the difference between these music, this is much more artistic than the operation system of the bank card, Hong Qiaoyun smiled and picked up his emotions and turned out rock, jazz, light music, symphony and so on.

The atmosphere along the way is definitely much more harmonious than Shi Jianren and Geng Meizi in the car, this is not the first time to pick up people at the airport, but Shi Jianren is still the same as Shanliwa, he likes to stand on the iron fence next to the pick-up hall to watch the plane take off and land, Hong Qiaoyun, who has never been interested in this, also wrapped himself in a windbreaker and stood together, laughing all the time, just to Shi Jianren to discuss what those passenger planes are, what are the functions of the work vehicles running around, and a little blind, fortunately, a few men next to him obviously love to introduce.

When the time was almost back at the pick-up gate, Hong Qiaoyun finally concluded: "I have always maintained this mentality of being curious about the whole world, so that I can discover the different perspectives of this world, well, I have learned! From an artistic point of view, it is also very helpful to me!"

Shi Jianren gave her a thumbs up unexpectedly, there was indeed a smooth communication between the two of them, and he was like drinking wine.

Of course, after receiving the three men, it was really time to drink good wine.

In China, if there's one thing that can make a few strange men get acquainted quickly, it's probably drinking.

Zhan Haosi, who is the oldest from Taipei, is in his fifties but has long gray hair, and his words and deeds have a rather heavy literati atmosphere, and when he first got in the car, he only politely said thank you to the driver who focused on taking over the suitcase without saying a word, and waited until Hong Qiaoyun decided to set up a nameless shop hidden in the streets and alleys of the city, and the driver in a black shirt was also sitting at the table, and he took a few more looks.

The owner of the restaurant has very little hair, and he looks round and seems to be an old acquaintance with Hong Qiaoyun, so he just came out to serve a cigarette to each of the guests, and then returned to the kitchen with two bottles of white straight porcelain wine without labels.

Shi Jianren has been sitting quietly at the round table, listening to Hong Qiaoyun ordering food in a few words, greeting the three painters, and occasionally moving his eyes from the faces of the other three very peacefully...... Come, this is Mr. Yu Xiuyuan from Hong Kong, called Pete can also be called, Mr. Wang Suyang Wang from Yuedong, the two of them have been committed to helping me promote, they also have their own galleries, Mr. Zhan is my best male friend before you, and now I am down to a ......"

The two men around forty years old had a heavier commercial smell, took off the suit with the smell of cologne on the outside, and the shirt and tie inside were still meticulous, and shook hands again with some surprise after hearing this, Shi Jianren also got up and didn't lack any etiquette, only Zhan Haosi was dissatisfied: "Ah, Qiaoyun, you are very unrighteous like this, it is a bad habit to forget the old when you see different thoughts, and you will give three cups!"

Although the tone is very bad, but the familiar intimacy can be seen, Shi Jianren does not take the initiative and does not raise his profile, still sits back gently, Hong Qiaoyun smiled and took out a few photos from his handbag: "Recently, I have been painting and playing, there are still a few scrapped ones in the studio, I can go and see if I am interested tomorrow, recently I want to make a large-scale series of paintings, to see if it is possible to hold an art exhibition." ”

The two forty-year-old men hurriedly took the photos and began to exchange ears, Hong Qiaoyun is a painter after all, everything is based on paintings, only Zhan Haosi opened the wine bottle nonchalantly and began to pour it out: "Ah, Mr. First, I am not convinced, I want to challenge you!"

Hong Qiaoyun may have seen that Shi Jianren has never smoked, nor has he ever drunk alcohol, thinking that he will not touch tobacco and alcohol without separation, and he subconsciously takes care of it: "Didn't you drink with me before? Come on, come, who is afraid of who......m" Maybe her bold energy was tempered in these places.

Shi Jianren smiled and stretched out his finger to dip some wine in the wine glass, lightly fanned it three times in front of him, and finally drew a semicircle with his slightly wet fingers on the old elm tabletop, just like the smiling mouth that young people like to draw now, and then picked up the wine glass.

Zhan Haosi's eyes, which were originally a little cloudy, lit up.
