Chapter 41: Xia Tingyin's works
Dai Shaodong and Gu Xi walked along the corridor, the light shining from the ground, reflecting a faint gold on the wall, making the club behind the art gallery have the grandeur of the old palace.
Dai Shaodong said: "Have you heard that? First compare the car, then the house, and then the wall. This art club is not profitable, only invites acquaintances. ”
Gu Xi said: "Why did that person invite you?" You don't collect. ”
Dai Shaodong smiled, "You really have a discerning eye, it only opened here the year before last." On the day of the banquet, the man who came ......" His words went around for a while, but Gu Xi understood the meaning.
Her face became a little nervous, and she turned her head sideways and asked, "You mean, your cousin?" ”
"Sort of, he is familiar with this investor, and he gave me a membership by the way."
Gu Xi's brows furrowed, and he wanted to ask, "What does your cousin do?" and unspeakable fear, there is something that makes her dare not touch it,
The man...... Is he still in Emperor View City?
Gu Xi's footsteps stopped, and there was a row of large shelves on the ground next to her, which should be bookshelves, but she looked at the back, and could only see the red wood on the back, which was very elegant, she moved two steps, and there was a narrow piece of glass in the middle, and they were standing on the back, so the words on the glass were reversed.
She moved over step by step, and read the four words clearly
law
correct
She didn't know how she walked over, and she didn't know what kind of font it was, but she felt that there was wealth and majesty in the elegance, and it was really beautiful.
turned his head and said to Dai Shaodong with a smile: "This word is really good-looking, why is it not a famous person?" ”
"Look at it again." Dai Shaodong motioned for her to stand away.
She took a step back, only to realize that it wasn't a bookcase, but a hundred treasures.
And the glass with the words is not decorative, it occupies a grid.
Gu Xi understood, "It's that I didn't see clearly, whose character is this, why is it still placed here, and there is no name." ”
Dai Shaodong approached her and whispered, "It's the cousin you said." His name is Cheng Qi, and everyone outside calls him Qi Ye. ”
In Gu Xi's mind, a person flashed out, he was standing in front of the window, what kind of clothes...... She wasn't impressed.
I just feel that I will feel flustered when I think about it at this time. How nice it would be if it was like this, in a place where no one was around, you could read it quietly, over and over again.
"What's wrong with you?" Dai Shaodong pulled her down with concern.
She shook her head.
Dai Shaodong said: "There is an allusion to this word, this art museum is Fang Bichun's, you know him, a famous young artist, and Qi Ye have known each other in the United States very early, and the relationship is very good." At that time, Fang Bichun wanted to get an art museum, and before opening it, he went to Qi Ye first, saying that he didn't want anything, so he wanted Qi Ye to help him write a few words. If there is a word, he will open the museum again. ”
"What does that mean?" Gu Xi didn't understand.
"On the surface, the two have a good relationship, which is a good story. Deeper, you think. Dai Shaodong said with a pun, "In China, what you do depends on how much relationship you have, how much relationship you have, and how big the thing you do." These four words are placed at the door, which is the backer here. ”
Gu Xi said: "Let's not talk about other people's affairs......"
"That's someone else's business." Dai Shaodong said, "Are you under too much pressure in your heart? Thinking of our wedding day scared? It's okay, you won't see him anyway. No one else knows about this, and I can't sue you. ”
Gu Xi said: "Where do I mean this. ”
Dai Shaodong looked at her as if her brain had stopped, and he didn't correct what he deliberately said, "The day they got married", and said with a smile, "That day scared you, right?" - Hurry up, we're here for dinner, and we really shouldn't talk about that. ”
In the Chinese restaurant, the crystal lamps are pouring down, a grand scene,
VIP room on the second floor.
On the brown leather sofa, Cheng Qi was sitting, listening to MAC's report, and after listening, he said, "You mean, Dai Shaodong won the price war?" ”
Mac couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Shang Bai didn't expect it, they were all deployed, in fact, the discount of that brand-name frame is also a gimmick, ready to mislead consumers." The third brother gave them a month and said that they would see the effect in a month. ”
"I see."
"But no one expected that everyone was competing to reduce the price, and suddenly the price was raised over there. It's okay not to contrast, but once it is reversed, Shangbai's corporate image has been affected. Now Dai Shaodong's side has become a high-end product, and Shang Bai's side has become a stall. ”
There was a smile in Cheng Qi's eyes, "Ah Jin must be very angry." ”
"Why. The second brother also said good about this at the time. Mac said,
Cheng Qi thought about it, the smile on his face became more and more obvious, none of his people had ever done business, this time it was Ah Jin who was gearing up in front, and watching the lively MAC people next to him, it was not without the meaning of waving the flag and shouting. It was difficult for him to come out today, thinking that if he was at home, Ah Jin would definitely have a headache now.
"It's okay to let them understand that it's not easy to do business in a down-to-earth way." After speaking, Cheng Qi stood up, "Since I was a child, I only know how to make ......money by investing" Speaking of this, his gaze suddenly froze,
The glass on the second floor is a large open window, and a whole door is floor-to-ceiling, so you can clearly see the dining room downstairs.
Dai Shaodong and Gu Xi just sat down, Gu Xi sat on the leather chair against the wall, and Dai Shaodong was opposite her. I don't know why, Dai Shaodong suddenly took out a pair of glasses and handed them over, Gu Xi took them and put them on, Dai Shaodong nodded, and the two of them each took a recipe and began to study.
Her...... Is eyesight bad?
There was a soft knock on the door, and a man walked in, followed by people, and the dishes were served. This person is Fang Bichun, whom Dai Shaodong just mentioned, who is well-known in the collecting world, but he only plays with modern art.
"If you want to come over and don't make a call, the kitchen is not prepared."
Cheng Qi said: "I have heard that your chef here is very skilled, and many people are coming here now just to have a meal. ”
"Not really. At least two months in advance. But it's still a little bit worse to greet you. Fang Bichun walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of wine, "This is my old man, I brewed it myself according to the ancient recipe in the year I was born, I just brought it from home, you can taste it." ”
Cheng Qi said: "You know I don't drink. ”
"This is liquor, not the one you don't usually drink." Fang Bichun said that he was about to pour him a cup.
Cheng Qi raised his hand to stop it, his tone helpless, "You are still the same as before, you have to try it if you know what I don't love." ”
Fang Bichun said, "Have you ever thought about it, maybe you don't know how to appreciate." For example, like the picture I draw for you on your birthday every year, why don't you hang it? ”
Mac stood behind Cheng Qi with a smile in his eyes. Fang Bichun's paintings...... There are very few works of modern masters that Qi Ye appreciates, and Bi Chun is not among them.
saw Cheng Qi turn around and say, "I saw that Dai Shaodong also came to dinner, call your second brother, and they taught them a lesson, see if they want to come over to thank people." ”
Mac's eyes glazed over for a moment, and he immediately walked out quickly.
Cheng Qi said a word, and found that the cup in front of him was full. Fang Bichun hugged the porcelain vase and said, "Taste, this is Zhuangyuan Red." There was persistence in that tone.
Cheng Qi was amused for a moment, he pushed the wine glass away, and said: "Your paintings are getting higher every year, but it doesn't mean that your own artistic accomplishment has really become a master, your paintings." Cheng Qi thought for a while and picked up the cup, "That's it, I drank this wine, let's not say anything." ”
Fang Bichun stretched out his hand and grabbed it, "Forget it, you haven't eaten yet." ”
Cheng Qi picked up the tablecloth next to him to wipe his hands, and wiped the wine droplets on his fingers little by little, and the air was more fragrant with wine. Fang Bichun had already raised his neck and drank the wine.
Putting down the cup, he said: "So it's not easy to say that I want to hear a truth, and now I am held by people everywhere I go, I don't know four or six myself, and my heart is also floating, and I feel that I have really reached that level." ”
Cheng Qi said: "Actually, your painting is not bad, otherwise I wouldn't be able to function." ”
"Operational" - that's not what it means.
Fang Bichun said: "Next year I will paint a portrait of you, if you don't want it, I will hang it here with me." Someone must have grabbed it at a high price. I'll swap the emotional loss fee for financial compensation. ”
Cheng Qi thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Then I will say that you can draw it." ”
"Who?" The cashew nuts on Fang Bichun's chopsticks fell on the table.
Cheng Qi turned around, stood up, walked to the window, looked downstairs, and said, "That's the girl sitting with Dai Shaodong." ”
Fang Bichun walked over with a napple and wiped his mouth, looked at it a few times and said, "Do you know?" ”
Cheng Qi said: "She, she helped me, I want to be nice to her, but she ...... Afraid of me. So you can help her draw a portrait, it's still appropriate to hang it in her house. ”
After speaking, he looked at Fang Bichun, "Use a softer color." ”
Fang Bichun stood still, nodding or looking at people.
"Do you understand?"
Fang Bichun said: "With such a large amount of information, you let me digest it first." He walked to the window, and the girl below was eating with her head down, and seeing that the movement was very quiet, Fang Bichun said, "...... You said she helped you, so you want to meet people and be nice to them, but people are still afraid of you and don't want to see you? ”
Cheng Qi's eyes stayed downstairs, with his and her identities, there was no intersection, if it wasn't for Dai Shaodong to bring her to dinner today, he didn't know how long it would take for the two of them to meet again.
Cheng Qi ignored Fang Bichun's tampering with his words, and instructed: "You can think as you like, just don't mention me when you go back to the portrait." He turned around and wanted to go back to sitting, this place could also be seen from downstairs, and it was inconvenient for him to stand for a long time. But after taking a step, he glanced downstairs again, and saw Gu Xi picking up the cup and pushing the glasses on his face.
downstairs
Seeing that the meal was about to be finished, Gu Xicai took off his glasses and said: "The legs of these glasses are a little loose, it is indeed not a big problem, but people buy things at such an expensive price, it is too unprofessional to have this problem." ”
Dai Shaodong stretched out his hand and took the glasses she handed over, "You too, everyone's nose bridge is different, and I must show it to you." ”
"How can you talk like that?" Gu Xi said: "Up and down, you pay attention to your attitude, and be careful that employees learn from you." People spend such an expensive price, and you still have to be picky about the bridge of the nose is not high enough? ””
Dai Shaodong said: "I know, it's just a joke with you." Thank you so much for this incident, and I will thank you so much when I look back. Dai Shaodong picked up the cup and was about to touch Gu Xi, when he saw the person who came in, he quickly put down the cup, and the person also stood up.
"Mr. Cheng." He was surprised, "When did you come to Dijing City?" ”
Cheng Jin and Cheng Si were not too surprised to see him, Cheng Jin came over and said, "You came here to eat?" His gaze stopped at Gu Xi next to him.
Dai Shaodong panicked, and hurriedly pulled Gu Xi up and said, "This is a friend of mine, Miss Gu." ”
"Miss Gu?" Cheng Jin took a step closer and looked at Gu Xi, "Why do you feel a little familiar?" ”
Dai Shaodong was stunned, thinking that Cheng Jin had close contact with his "fake bride", don't recognize it.
Gu Xi lowered his eyes and didn't look or move, just thinking:
Originally...... They are still in Dijing City. Thinking like this, I unconsciously glanced at the doorway.
