Chapter 33: Who Is Not Young and Frivolous (Part II)
As early as at the gate of Chaoyang Middle School, Zhuo Yitian had already guessed the identity of Zhan Shanhu, after all, there were few people in Yancheng who played horizontal training, and this stupid big man was famous. For the Pan family, Zhuo Yitian has always had indescribable feelings. Now that she sees the slim Pan Dongdong, she is a copy of Jia Qing, but she has no urge to show her identity.
Everything Chen Mo is experiencing is no stranger to Zhuo Yitian. Seeing that he was forced into a dilemma at that time, he obviously wanted to fight hard, but in the end he was still willing to endure for Pan Dongdong. Zhuo Yitian couldn't help but think of the stubborn boy who was beaten by himself every night and never gave in every night some time ago.
After his father's death, this was Zhuo Yitian's first visit to Pan's house. Of course, she didn't expect Pan Jinyu and his wife to fulfill the little lovers, but she was just making it clear in a silent way that Chen Mo was not without support.
Everyone in the upper circles of Yancheng knows that the only one who can make Old Man Zhuo buy it completely is Xiaoqi of the Zhuo family. Pan Jinyu seemed to be determined to win the piece of land in the southern urban area, and Zhuo Yitian felt that it was not a big deal to be naïve once in a while.
Pan Jinyu is a realistic person, Zhuo Yitian knows this very well, just as she also knows that she is also transforming in this direction.
In the first round of auction, 8 items were auctioned, and 630,000 yuan was raised. The charity performances took turns on stage, and by the fourth and final round of auctions, the total amount of donations reached 3.51 million, and when the host announced that the next lot was the oil painting of Liang Min, the son of Vice Mayor Liang Longjiang, the dinner scene was slightly shaken.
As the painting was placed on the stage in the center of the stage, the projector soon revealed a huge image: a copy of Van Gogh's masterpiece "Fourteen Flowers". The contrast between the soft yellow background color and the floral color on the picture is simple and strong, the brushstrokes are solid and powerful, the highlighting treatment of the full flower disc and the delicate technique of outlining the petals and stems are almost real. PPT then showed the original oil painting, which caused exclamations one after another, even the nouveau riche at the banquet could see that it was indeed not easy to learn the things of foreign devils to this extent.
After the host quoted a reserve price of 10,000 yuan, the bidding was extremely fierce, and dozens of guests participated in the competition, and finally Pan Jinyu won the oil painting with 850,000 yuan.
So far, the highest price for a single lot has been set.
In the applause of the audience, Liang Min sat down in front of the Brusno piano on stage and improvised an adapted version of "Destiny". Under his slender fingers, Beethoven's impassioned melody flowed through two centuries and again in the here and now. From the first movement to the fourth movement, the brilliant and bright main body and overwhelming momentum are fully reflected. Liang Min had even closed his eyes and devoted himself to dancing with his fingertips and keys, until the majestic tide of light put an end to the decisive battle of fate, and then sat quietly for a moment before he got up and bowed.
The deafening applause and cheers resounded throughout the banquet hall. At the table of the Liang and Pan families, even Jia Qing, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but shout hello, which greatly changed her opinion on this young man who was a little frivolous in her opinion.
Flawless and flawless.
The moment he looked at Pan Dongdong, Liang Min couldn't help but think of the evaluation that the piano teacher had given him at home. The oil painting was not made by someone else, but was the result of two years of hard work, and the teacher was a retired professor of the Academy of Fine Arts, who charged as much as 500 yuan per hour.
has never had a chance to show the side, but finally Pan Dongdong was in full view on this charity night, and Liang Min felt that everything was worth it. "Fourteen Flowers" symbolizes sunshine, enthusiasm and life; The fearlessness, unyielding and resistance represented by the piano music of "Destiny" echo the theme of the disaster relief dinner.
Liang Min felt that this should be the most successful curtain call in his life, of course, except for the key point that has not yet been completed.
"Thank you, my father always taught me the principle of doing good deeds and accumulating good deeds. I was very nervous about coming to dinner with him today, afraid that my meager strength was far from enough. Here, I would like to thank Uncle Pan Jinyu and Uncle Pan for his selflessness and love, which made this little light and heat in my hands warmer and protected the people in the disaster area. Liang Min took the microphone handed by the host, smiled faintly, and pointed to the north corner of the hall, "Charity requires everyone's efforts, and today I have a classmate who also came to the scene, and the puppet show he performed won an award at the New Year's Day party of our school." Now please give him a little applause and welcome him to the next benefit show! ”
When hundreds of eyes came, Chen Mo had just been threatened by Zhuo Yitian and poured the last glass of white wine, and poured four empty bottles of bamboo leaf green at his feet.
Yang Zongkai, who was at the same table, had already twisted his brows into the word "Sichuan".
Zhuo Yitian has always been famous for drinking fast, several of her uncles are active soldiers, and the veterans in the army who drink a lot have seen it, and they sit at the same table with her to eat during the New Year's holidays, but they often can't help but shake their heads and sigh. The more others drink, the more their eyes scatter, but her big eyes get brighter and brighter the more they drink. At this time, four bottles of bamboo leaf green were drunk by her two and a half bottles by herself, and seeing that Chen Mo was still sitting steadily, she couldn't help but feel that he was much more pleasing to the eye.
At the beginning, in the small coal kiln, Jiangbei people would often call for bulk liquor, and greeted Chen Mo, who was still half an adult, to drink it together, saying that he lacked the strength to kill. After working hard all these years, Chen Mo often buys the cheapest Erguotou or Shuanggou, and it is the first time that Zhu Yeqing has tasted such good goods, and at this moment, the mellow strength is slowly surging, and his whole body is feverish.
Chen Mo heard what Liang Min was saying, and every word was clear, but when everyone applauded, he didn't even raise his eyelids.
"I seem to be telling you to go up and perform!" Zhuo Yitian reminded with a smile.
"I'm not a monkey." Chen Mo was indifferent.
Liang Min saw that he didn't react, and his face was already a little embarrassed. The host showed professionalism in a timely manner and encouraged the guests, so the applause rose again, but Chen Mo still seemed to be deaf for many years. Huang Yanqiu was originally elated, and after trying to let Pan Dongdong look at the painting, she saw that her son was so shabby that little ghost that she couldn't get off the stage, and immediately glared at Liang Longjiang.
Liang Longjiang frowned, got up with a smile, and walked to this side with a hug in front and back, "This classmate, everyone is responsible for charity, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, everyone is collecting firewood and the flame is high!" Come on, come on, I'll invite you! ”
The guests had already seen something unusual, and the hall fell silent. Chen Mo looked up at Pan Dongdong and saw that she was staring at him from afar, with a slight worry in her eyes, and there was infinite tenderness.
This was the first time the two looked at each other after arriving here, Chen Mo couldn't help but think of the scene in the study, and only felt that the joy of wanting to shout began to stir in his heart again.
The next moment, he noticed that Pan Dongdong's mother was also looking at him, with a complicated expression. Pan Jinyu, on the other hand, didn't look in this direction at all, and didn't know if she had expected things to be like this, or if she didn't bother to look at them at all.
"Even my dad came to invite you, you really think you're a green onion!" Liang Min jumped off the stage and walked to him, sneering and said.
"Xiaomin, pay attention to your personal cultivation!" Liang Longjiang scolded, then looked at Zhuo Yitian, and showed a kind smile, "Yitian, this classmate came with you?" It's just a charity performance, what kind of manly man is twisting and pinching, everyone is waiting! ”
"It's together, if he doesn't go on stage, he is in charge, I can't control it!" Zhuo Yitian shrugged.
"You didn't bring that broken puppet, did you? Or are you embarrassed to take it out? Liang Min was more and more unscrupulous with his father present.
What if you do bring it? It's okay to bluff students with this kind of ninth-rate thing, can you handle it on this occasion? Which of the guests present does not have status and status, and what new things have not been seen, can you still hold on to your little foundation?
Chen Mo pondered for a moment, smiled at Liang Longjiang, and said respectfully: "Mayor Liang, I didn't think about acting in a show, and I didn't prepare for anything. But if you come to invite me, I really don't dare to do it, even if I can't do anything, I can only bite the bullet. Liang Min is my senior, and he has always taken good care of me at school, and now I want to ask him to do me a favor first. ”
"This is what it looks like, you can tell Xiaomin if you have anything!" Liang Longjiang nodded approvingly.
"Pan Dongdong is my family's cooker." Chen Mo looked at Liang Min's bland first sentence, but everyone around him was surprised. "Pot-burner" is a slang term that can no longer be soiled, and only the workers in the coal mines in the eastern suburbs will call their wives like this.
"What did you say?" Liang Min even trembled his lips, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, he felt that he would definitely smash the other party in the face.
"Please do me a favor and stop watching her drool in the future. Otherwise, even if your dad is there, I'll pinch your out. Chen Mo's black and white eyes already had an extra beast-like light, "If you don't believe it, you can try it now, she's sitting there." ”
Liang Min was completely stunned, obviously a courage that could be proved with just a turn of his head, obviously his father was with many municipal party committee cadres, but he found that he had lost all his strength under the gaze of that gaze. His heart was beating wildly involuntarily, and he could even hear the stiff neck bones gurgling in an attempt to exert force, but no matter how much dignity struggled and cried in the depths of his soul, his body just couldn't move for half a minute.
Chen Mo stared at him without blinking, and after a long time, he suddenly showed a hearty smile, "Look at your little bit of appearance, let me tell you that you won't take it seriously, right?" I'll go up if there's nothing to do, you sit down and rest, and then help me refuel by the way. Then he looked at the dumbfounded Liang Longjiang again, "I'm sorry, Mayor Liang, we have always had a good relationship, and we're used to joking." ”
After Chen Mo walked to the stage, Liang Longjiang also returned to the seat with his pale son, with a faint anger between his eyebrows.
On the side of the north hall, Yang Zongkai, who has been quiet from the wine fight to the present, said lightly: "Your little brother is very good, but he is a little more vigorous." ”
"When you should be angry, you are not angry, are you still called a young man?" Zhuo Yitian smiled calmly.
