Chapter 229: Seeking Painting (10)
Xu Hong listened to Lao Wang's words, he was very puzzled, thinking that the contradiction between him and Principal Liu, although it was also very intense at the time, but more than a month has passed, and now Principal Liu sent Lao Wang to be a lobbyist, what is the meaning, and apologize to himself, isn't this an inexplicable thing!
"Is this? Maybe Principal Liu didn't know that you were a great painter before! I don't know, your paintings were once collected by Boss Chen! And they were collected at sky-high prices! Now when he knows these things, he feels that you Xu Hong is a big man! I can't offend you casually! So, I want to apologize to you!"
Lao Wang listened to Xu Hong's question, and he had no choice but to express his opinion. Because, he knew that the real purpose of apologizing to Xu Hong on behalf of Liu Ming could not be said, otherwise, this apology would be meaningless.
"Oh, it's because of this! That's not necessary! Although my painting has been collected by Boss Chen Tianchen, I haven't become a great painter! I'm not as famous, and I'm not as famous as Yao Hong! Why should Principal Liu care! At that time, Boss Chen's collection of my paintings was just a momentary news, and now who knows who I Xu Hong is! You Principal Liu are too polite!"
Xu Hong listened to Lao Wang's words, and he was even more inexplicable. Just because of this news event, and then I think of myself as a big painter and a big person, what makes sense!
"I can't say it anymore! I'm just apologizing to you on behalf of Principal Liu! However, Principal Liu has always been very accurate in looking at people! Since he feels that you may become a great painter, then you will definitely succeed in the future!
Still hopeful. You can accept President Liu's apology. I can become good friends with President Liu and my deputy! Are we all part of the art world?"
It is inconvenient for Lao Wang to say the real reason why Liu Ming apologized to Xu Hong, but said that Liu Ming felt that Xu Hong might become a great painter, so he didn't want to offend Xu Hong, so he asked Lao Wang to apologize to Xu Hong!
Xu Hong listened to it and felt that this reason did not seem to be true at all. Therefore, he would not be willing to accept Liu Ming's apology in such a way.
"Principal Wang, if Principal Liu apologizes to me in this way, it will be difficult for me to accept it! Then should he come and apologize to me in person? Why did he still send you, the vice principal, to come? Is this also a sincere apology to me? How can I accept such false feelings and false feelings?"
Xu Hong was also very angry when he thought of this. Is this clearly looking down on him Xu Hong! Since he regards me as a big person, is there any reason not to apologize in person? This is clearly looking down on himself and feeling that he is just a small person!
"Master Xu, don't say that, Principal Liu is busy with work! That's why he didn't come to apologize to you personally! He asked me to apologize to you first, and then . I'm going to apologize to you personally!"
Lao Wang saw that Xu Hong was a little angry, and he hurriedly said a few good words for Liu Ming.
"Yes, then wait until Principal Liu comes to apologize to me in person! I can't accept your apology!" Xu Hong looked at Lao Wang with an unhappy expression, and then took the wine on the table and drank it all.
"This-this-Master Xu, can't you give me a face! Accept my apology as the vice principal first, and then Principal Liu will apologize to you!" Lao Wang saw that Xu Hong was angry, and he hurriedly said good things to Xu Hong again!
"Okay, for the sake of you inviting me to dinner, I accept your apology, so it's okay! However, I can make a statement to you, if he Liu Ming doesn't apologize to me personally, then I won't be friends with him. As for you, if you look up to me Xu Hong, it doesn't hurt if we become friends. ”
Xu Hong is a man of temperament, and he is reluctant to make friends with people he doesn't like, especially some people who are not his age, and he is not willing to make friends! Give him a treat in a five-star hotel, and he can't refuse people!
"Okay, since Master Xu said so, then I won't force it. I'll just go back and tell Principal Liu what you said. Just let him come and apologize to you that day. Lao Wang looked at Xu Hong's strong appearance, and he couldn't say anything more.
"Okay, Principal Wang, are you okay? If there's nothing to do, I'll go back to painting. I'm going to have a big exhibition soon! But I still have a lot of works that I haven't painted! It's time for me right now! I don't have time to drink with you all the time!"
Xu Hong stood up as he spoke, he didn't want to waste his precious time on the wine table!
"Master Xu, wait a minute, I still have a little thing to talk about!"
As soon as Lao Wang saw that Xu Hong was about to get up, he quickly stood up as well, looked at Xu Hong and said a little anxiously.
"Principal Wang, what else do you have to do!" Xu Hong was already a little impatient.
"That's right, since the last time I saw your masterpiece on the TV news, I like it very much! I feel that your painting method is really special! I just want to learn from you!" Lao Wang seems to have some other requirements, but he is still embarrassed to say it!
If you want to learn, then after I've been busy for a while, we can also sit together and learn about painting skills!"
Xu Hong looked at Lao Wang, he was already a little impatient, he felt that this person seemed to have a lot of things in his heart, and he was always unwilling to finish it in one breath.
"It's okay, it's okay! That's--Master Xu, can I ask you for two paintings now! Anyway, are you going to go back and paint now? Can you just paint two for me! I really like your paintings! I want to have two of your real ink treasures!"
Lao Wang thought, no matter whether Liu Ming would come to apologize to Xu Hong or not, the important thing was that as long as Xu Hong could agree to paint two paintings for him, then his task of being a lobbyist for Liu Ming would be considered a successful completion! As for the future. The relationship between Xu Hong and Liu Ming. That's not what he cared about!
"Principal Wang. What do you mean by this, you know that I'm very busy now! Why are you still asking me for paintings! Are you exchanging this meal for my two paintings!" When Xu Hong heard Lao Wang's words, he was a little unhappy, has this clearly become a kind of transaction? What kind of sincerity does this have of friends!
"No, no, no, Master Xu, I didn't mean that, I won't ask for your painting for nothing, I'll give you money!" As soon as Lao Wang heard Xu Hong's words, he quickly explained.
"Principal Wang. Whether you want to give me money or not, I don't have time to paint for you right now. If you like my paintings, then you can go to the exhibition on the day I hold the exhibition, collect my works, if you ask me to paint two paintings for you now, that is impossible, I don't have the time, I still have dozens of paintings to paint! These paintings are going to participate in the art exhibition! And I have just painted the largest painting in the exhibition, and the other small works. I can't agree to your request anyway. If you really like my paintings, then you can visit my art exhibition, and I can sell it to you at a cheaper price!"
When Xu Hong heard Lao Wang's words, he felt that there must be something greasy in this! Could it be that Liu Ming asked this Lao Wang to ask him for a painting! If that's the case, then I shouldn't paint Lao Wang. Because, he's asking for a painting for someone else! And that person has offended himself before, and now he doesn't come to apologize to himself, but sends a vice principal to ask him for a painting, what is the matter?
"Master Xu, if that's the case, why should I come to beg you? Am I just thinking that you will paint me a few paintings in private, so that I may spend less money! You also know that the paintings in the art exhibition are all competitive! I like them, others like them, and they bid high, but I don't have that much money, so I can only watch others take the paintings away! You also know that we as teachers only have a small salary, how can we buy the paintings at the art exhibition!"
As soon as Lao Wang heard Xu Hong's words, he began to directly confess his heart, saying that he had no money and couldn't afford to buy the paintings in the art exhibition!
"I'm sorry, then you can wait until I'm busy for a while! When I'm free that day, I'll paint two private paintings for you! Anyway, in the last few months, I'm afraid I won't have time!"
As soon as Xu Hong heard Lao Wang's words, he was even more unhappy, thinking, what do you mean by this bastard! I don't want to spend money, and you still want my paintings, you just want to use one meal, so you want to exchange two of my paintings! How is this possible!
"This-this-that's okay! Since Master Xu said so, I'll wait a few more months!" Old Wang listened to Xu Hong's words, and he was embarrassed to say anything more. Because he saw that Xu Hong's face was already very ugly, and the person had already left the table!
"That's it, Principal Wang, thank you for inviting me, a little painter, to dinner in your busy schedule! Okay, that's it, I'm going to paint again, goodbye!"
Xu Hong said as he strode out of the room.
The rest of Lao Wang was stunned and stood in front of the dining table, and even forgot to send Xu Hong.
"Damn, Liu Ming, Liu Ming! You fucking shit let Lao Tzu wipe your ass! It's good, you spent thousands of dollars in vain, and you didn't ask Xu Hong for paintings!"
Lao Wang sat on the chair, he grabbed the wine bottle violently, and poured it directly into his mouth.
He didn't want to leave such a good wine like this, whatever, he had to finish this bottle of good wine!
But as soon as he had taken two sips, he saw a man walk up to him.
"Lao Wang, don't drink it, what's the use of drinking too much wine! It seems that this thing is really not easy to do!"
It was none other than Liu Ming who spoke!
Today, after Liu Ming asked Lao Wang to come out to do errands, he was very nervous. I kept thinking about whether Lao Wang could do things well this time!
So Liu Ming had no intention of staying at the school at all, so he drove the car himself and secretly followed behind Lao Wang!
He followed from the 'New Star Art Garden' pictorial to the 'Star Hotel'. In the end, he eavesdropped on other people's conversations outside the private room where Lao Wang and Xu Hong were eating!
When he heard Xu Hong say angrily that he had something to do to go back to paint, he knew that Lao Wang had not done this! This time, I am afraid that these thousands of yuan will be spent in vain!
Liu Ming felt that Xu Hong was coming out, so he hurriedly hid in the corner of the wall.
After seeing Xu Hong leave the room, he entered the room where Xu Hong and Lao Wang had dinner just now.
And all this, for Lao Wang, he knows nothing. Now when he saw Liu Ming suddenly appear in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, feeling that he was drunk and dreaming!
"Lao Liu, you-how did you know that I was drinking with Xu Hong here!" Lao Wang saw that it was Liu Ming, thinking about what he had just scolded him, he had already heard it, and his face turned red all of a sudden.
"I-I just came over! I'm worried that this thing will not be easy to do! So, I don't have the heart to stay at school! So I came with me again! I knew that you would have dinner with Xu Hong at this star hotel, so I followed.
I was embarrassed to let him see it, so I hid first, and I waited until I watched Xu Hong go downstairs before I came to see you!"
Although Liu Ming also heard Lao Wu's voice scolding him, he was still embarrassed to say that he had been following Lao Wang!
"Lao Liu! I'm sorry! This Xu Hong is not easy to deal with! It is useless for me to apologize to him, he can accept my apology, but he just doesn't accept me to apologize to him for you! There is also the matter of asking for paintings, which is even more useless, he said that he is very busy now, and he paints all the paintings participating in the art exhibition! Now there is no time to paint for us in private! If we want his paintings, then we have to wait until a few months!"
Lao Wang thought that Liu Ming hadn't heard the conversation between him and Xu Hong! So he briefly repeated the content of the conversation he had just had with Xu Hong.
"Okay, Lao Wang! I don't blame you, you've done your best! I won't let you do this in vain. The money for this meal, I came out. Have you eaten enough? Would you like to add two more dishes?"
Liu Ming knew that no matter whether this thing was done or not, he had to say what he wanted, saying that he wanted to treat other people's Lao Wang, then he would treat others! Even if this hotel was a five-star hotel, he had to invite others. (To be continued.) )
