Curator Feng drooped his head, pinched his eyebrows hard, and after turning around a few times in front of Li Xiaoxue, he was still a little embarrassed and said, "If you have to do this, you can first propose to go to 100,000 ......."

"One hundred thousand?" Li Xiaoxue didn't wait for Director Feng to finish speaking, and asked in surprise, "In just two days, is there only 100,000 left?" ”

Curator Feng's face showed a slightly unhappy expression: "Can you let me finish speaking?" Hundreds of thousands of dollars belong to you personally, which is indeed a large amount, but as far as an art exhibition is concerned, it seems to be stretched! You have no idea how hard it is here! ”

"I'm sorry," Li Xiaoxue hurriedly apologized, "Director Feng, I don't mean anything else. ”

Director Feng suppressed his anger and said sorry to Li Xiaoxue: "I may have been a little excited when I spoke." You don't know, I've been under a lot of pressure in the past two days. Oh, don't get me wrong. It's not just your exhibition, it's anyone's. On the one hand, I want to find ways to make the exhibition more successful, and on the other hand, I want to save as much money as possible for you. After all, you really don't have much money in your hands. It's not easy for you to be artistic. ”

Li Xiaoxue felt even more guilty when she heard it: "Director Feng, I'm really anxious to use this money, otherwise, I really, really don't want Director Feng to be embarrassed like this." ”

"I can understand something," Director Feng continued to sigh for himself, "It's okay, but if you don't understand, you really think that I did something in it!" How many times, I really don't want to do it,—— I have told you how many times, this is simply a thankless job,—— but as soon as I see the expectant eyes of you young people, my heart is alive again. I can't say how many times I've held such exhibitions for many people, but apart from the compliments in person and the doubts behind me, what did I really get? ”

"Director Feng, you are the behind-the-scenes hero who has really advanced your artistic career." Li Xiaoxue said sincerely.

"Come on! That's the most unreliable compliment I've ever heard! Curator Feng said with a wry smile, seeing that Li Xiaoxue seemed to be sincerely defending this, he waved his hand in front of Li Xiaoxue and said, "Really don't buckle these hats for me anymore." I'm not one of those people who can get dizzy just because of a few words. What's going on with me, I understand it myself. Having said that, the reason why I only promised you to mention 100,000 is completely for your sake. Since you said that you must hold the art exhibition, you can't stop the current work. Otherwise, if you pick it up again, you will definitely lose a lot. However, if you want to continue to do it, of course, you will need to pay for various expenses. I'm also giving you another budget, if you take out 100,000 yuan, the rest of the money should be able to support our exhibition hall properly. ”

Li Xiaoxue was naturally grateful to Director Feng for his thoughtful consideration, but for the sake of Boss Qian, she had to make the last earnest: "It stands to reason that Director Feng has said this part, and I don't want to make it difficult for Director Feng again." It's just that I really need this money urgently. This can be said to be life-saving money. Director Feng, let's see, can you reduce some more expenses, and take out an extra seventy or eighty thousand yuan for me. ”

"I also know that you need this money urgently, otherwise, you wouldn't have opened your mouth like this." After expressing great understanding, Director Feng persuaded again, "It's really not good, you better put aside the matter of the art exhibition first." After all, you're still young, so you don't need to be so hard. It took two days to start preparations, and there are many things, and the cost is larger, and the money in the card should be more than 300,000. Now that you say that the exhibition is not going to be held, I can return the rest of the money to you. ”

In Li Xiaoxue, the sky can fall, and the exhibition can't be left unheld, not only can it not be held, but it can't be left for another day: "In this case, according to Director Feng's wishes, let's take 100,000 yuan first." ”

"This money, you remember, I will pay you for the time being, and you must pay it again in time. Otherwise, it will really be wasted. Director Feng reminded again.

"I know." Li Xiaoxue agreed heavily.

……

Cao Yingying did not return to the company, but came directly to Xiao Zijun's residence.

Xiao Zijun seemed to have expected Cao Yingying to come, and after opening the door for Cao Yingying, he would only smile heartily and turn around and walk inside.

Cao Yingying confirmed her guess from Xiao Zijun's smile, followed Xiao Zijun unhappily, and asked, "Why is your phone turned off?" I've called you a few times! ”

"Really?" Xiao Zijun walked away, and deliberately took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, "If you don't say it, I really don't know." ”

"You don't know? Boss Qian's hotel is on fire, do you know it? ”

"Really?" Although Xiao Zijun asked, he couldn't hear the slightest surprise, "It's not a big deal, right?" ”

"It's on the news, don't you know?"

"I'm sorry, but I've never had much interest in journalism."

"Even if you don't watch the news, you have your people there, don't you get any information?"

"Oh," Xiao Zijun was unhurried, "wait for me to ask." ”

"Xiao Zijun!" Cao Yingying sped up a few steps and turned to Xiao Zijun's side, "You're lying!" It's such a big deal, it's impossible for you not to know! ”

Xiao Zijun stood down, looked at Cao Yingying's angry face, and smiled slightly: "Now, I know." ”

"Does this have anything to do with you?" Cao Yingying asked unceremoniously.

Xiao Zijun frowned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It's so decent, why is there such a big fire?"

"How can it catch fire, what do you ask me for?"

"I suspect it has something to do with you!" Cao Yingying's voice was extremely firm.

Xiao Zijun's whole face was distorted, pointed at Cao Yingying's nose, and asked viciously, "Do you doubt it?" What do you do? Police? ”

Cao Yingying raised her hand and knocked Xiao Zijun's fingers aside, and said unconvinced: "I don't believe that this matter has nothing to do with you!" ”

Xiao Zijun grabbed Cao Yingying's collar again: "You don't believe it? There are so many things you don't believe! Do you have any proof? Without evidence, just say nonsense, don't you think you're slandering? Defamation is no small crime! ”

Cao Yingying only stared at Xiao Zijun's eyes, and said solemnly: "I really don't have any evidence to prove this, but, I am convinced of my intuition!" I ask you this because I don't want you to break the law! ”

Xiao Zijun couldn't help but smile "hehe": "Don't you want me to break the law?" Who are you? What does it matter to you if I break the law or not? You don't want me? Why? ”

Cao Yingying said without hesitation: "Just because you are not a bad person!" ”

"I'm not a bad person?" Xiao Zijun almost seemed to have heard a big joke, and after a burst of "haha" laughter, he looked at Cao Yingying with a disdainful gaze, and said happily, "Do you want to be so naïve?" Good guys, bad guys, do you play games as children, black and white? What is a good person? What's the bad guy again? Please give me a definition. ”

Cao Yingying shook her head: "The purpose of my coming to you is not to do any homework for you, nor to argue with you about anything. ”

Xiao Zijun was unwilling, and said, "But I'm really very interested in your statement." Growing up, no one has ever said anything like this to me. ”

Cao Yingying looked at Xiao Zijun again and said with certainty: "I think, you actually know what I mean." ”

Xiao Zijun said not very seriously: "Because I saved you once?" Are you grateful to Dade and say I'm not a bad person anymore? ”

"I'm not so narrow-minded."

"Isn't it?" Xiao Zijun raised his face, tried to think about it again, and suddenly opened his mind again, extremely seriously, and said loudly to Cao Yingying, "Not a bad person? Does that mean that he is not a good person? It turns out that your brain is not simple enough to be black and white. There's something else in you saying that, but I've just thought a little simpler. ”

"Stop going around in circles like that, okay?" Cao Yingying helplessly shouted with Xiao Zijun again.

Xiao Zijun also shouted with Cao Yingying, tightening Cao Yingying's collar even tighter: "I'm going to compare this today!" Tell me, what kind of person am I, Xiao Zijun? ”

Cao Yingying painfully let out a hysterical voice from her throat: "You are a person who people can't love, hate, and torture!" ”

"A tormentor who can't love or hate?" After Xiao Zijun repeated Cao Yingying's words succinctly, a bitter smile came out again.

Looking at Xiao Zijun's wry smile, Cao Yingying slowed down her voice and said in particular: "The love and hate I said may not be exactly the same as what you understand. ”

"I understand." Xiao Zijun nodded and said, "Especially this love word, there are too many emotions contained in it." ”

Cao Yingying was really tired of this argument: "Let's stop talking about this, okay?" ”

"Don't talk about that anymore?" Xiao Zijun smiled again, "Do you still want to talk about the fire in Boss Qian's hotel?" At this point, I seem to be even more confused. You keep saying that I'm not a bad person, why did you put such a bad thing on my head again? Isn't this a contradiction? ”

"Perhaps, I really shouldn't doubt you, but I just doubted, and I don't think my suspicions are unreasonable."

"Reason?" Xiao Zijun shook his head again and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Cao Yingying first made such a request: "Can you let go of your hand first?" I'm going to give you a breathless. ”

Xiao Zijun nodded, and after slowly loosening Cao Yingying's collar, he suddenly hugged Cao Yingying's waist again.

Cao Yingying's body slammed forward and stuck tightly with Xiao Zijun.

"What are you doing?" Cao Yingying asked nervously, and pushed Xiao Zijun's body out.

Xiao Zijun seemed to put all his strength on his two arms, and hugged Cao Yingying very firmly.

Cao Yingying's heart rose to her throat: "Xiao Zijun! You can't! ”

Xiao Zijun was completely in control, and said with a smile: "Only in this way can I hear more of Miss Cao's heart." ”

"Let go of me!" Cao Yingying gritted her teeth and said, using her last strength, but she couldn't break away from Xiao Zijun's arm.

Xiao Zijun felt Cao Yingying's body soften a little bit in his arms, and he also collected his strength: "Miss Cao should be the first time to have such contact with the opposite sex." ”

Cao Yingying couldn't say anything, but she shed tears.
