The whole book.,The fastest update I want to accompany you day and night with the latest chapter!
Chen Xun went back to the gallery after having a meal with her at noon, and when Ning Chaoxi was eating and chatting with him, he learned from him that Zheng Xu wanted to develop the 'Seeking' gallery into a chain store, and now he is looking for locations and stores in the city.
Listening to him say this, Ning Chaoxi was very curious about what kind of person Zheng Xu was, listening to Chen Xun say that he often traveled around the country, and rarely stayed in one place, and he had come to the office specially set up for him on the second floor of the gallery two or three times in total.
thought it would be difficult to see each other, but Ning Chaoxi met Zheng Xu, who 'only heard his name but didn't see his person' that afternoon.
After she got off work at the bookstore, she called Chen Xun and said that she wanted to go to the gallery to find him, he agreed, saying that he would come to pick him up in person, Ning Chaoxi said no, she took a taxi by herself.
It was a short journey from the central square to the creative park, and it took more than ten minutes to arrive, and this time when she was going upstairs, no one stopped her, but Tangerine kindly reminded her: "Hello, Miss Ning, Brother Chen is talking to Brother Xu in the office on the second floor, you may have to wait a while." ”
When Ning Chaoxi saw the oranges, she naturally remembered what happened last time, but she looked at the other party's expression the same, so she didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot, she said directly: "Okay, thank you." ”
She walked up the stairs past the second floor, and sure enough, she saw that the door of Zheng Xu's office was slightly open, and there was a faint sound of conversation coming from inside, thinking that she should be talking about business, Ning Chaoxi was sensible and didn't bother them, she went straight to the third floor, ready to wait for him in Chen Xun's studio.
There are a total of three rooms on the third floor, Ning Chaoxi only visited his studio and studio that day, and there is a collection room she wants to see, Chen Xun told her to take her to see it next time, she is a little curious about what paintings are collected in it, but he didn't say a word, she suddenly thought that some artists like to collect and paint the human body, and it is naked. The kind of dew......
Chen Xun should not ......
Ning Chaoxi was taken aback by his own thoughts, and patted his cheek, even if Chen Xun had this habit, he must have appreciated it from the perspective of pure art.
But with this thought, Ning Chaoxi thought that the whole room was an indescribable painting, and she couldn't help but change her face.
sent a WeChat message to Chen Xun saying that he was already waiting for him in the studio on the third floor, Ning Chaoxi connected to the IFI of the gallery, nested on the sofa next to him to play games, and the game had just reached the third level, when he heard the door of the studio being opened from the outside, followed by a frivolous male voice: "Yo, this time I finally let me see the real person." ”
Hearing this, Ning Chaoxi turned off the game and immediately got up from the sofa, straightened his hair and clothes, and two people came in outside the door, led by Chen Xun, the man behind him was about the same height as him, with a fluffy hairstyle, dressed very freely but with a famous brand, with a three-point smile on his face, he looked a little ruffian.
Chen Xun led someone in and introduced her: "Morning and evening, this is Zheng Xu." ”
"Hello." Ning Chaoxi greeted him a little crampedly.
Zheng Xu restrained himself a little lazily, stood up straight, and smiled at her: "Hello, Miss Ning, I have always heard of your name before, and when I saw it today, it was really ...... with the painting" He paused, and received Chen Xun's gaze, he instantly understood, and the words came to his mouth and turned around again: "Sure enough, you look very beautiful, no wonder Chen Xun has missed you for so many years." ”
"Thank you." Ning Chaoxi smiled, "Have you heard of me?" ”
Zheng Xu glanced at Chen Xun, pursed his lips and smiled: "That's natural, Chen Xun and I have been old friends for many years, I often hear him mention you, not only have I heard it, I have also seen your portrait." Without waiting for her to ask, he said to himself: "Chen Xun has won the Alexander Luch Painting Award in the United States, and you know about the exhibition in New York, one of the paintings he exhibited in the exhibition is a portrait of his beloved woman, and the person on it is you." ”
Ning Chaoxi was surprised when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Chen Xun, and saw him coughing with his hands clenched into fists to his mouth, his cheeks were slightly red, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed about what Zheng Xu mentioned.
"You never told me." Ning Chaoxi tugged at his sleeve, approached him, and whispered accusations in his ear.
Chen Xun shook her hand and didn't speak, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"He shouldn't have a lot of things to tell you, Miss Ning, are you interested in hearing about it?" Zheng Xu said.
"It's late tonight, let's do it another day." Chen Xun stopped him.
"Uh-huh, I'm interested." Ning Chaoxi ignored his obstruction and said to Zheng Xu: "If Mr. Zheng doesn't mind, you can have dinner with us." ”
Zheng Xu smiled: "I'm happy." ”
The place of dinner was in a Western restaurant, after ordering the meal, Zheng Xu also asked the waiter for an extra bottle of red wine, he spread out the napkin in front of him: "Where did you just talk, oh yes, when it came to Master Ying accepting him as a student, you don't know how fierce the old man is, when I was his student, I could be scolded N times a day, tsk, I think that being his student is a mold that has poured eight lifetimes, but this guy is like picking up a treasure, and after being scolded, he was quiet, he didn't even speak, and he worked hard to help his old man clean the studio......"
Ning Chaoxi listened to Zheng Xu mention their past with relish.
Zheng Xu said: "This is not the worst, the most tragic thing is that the old man has a temper and will tear up our works, he sometimes assigns us to draw ten sketches a day, we work hard to finish the homework that day, and hand in the paintings the next day, and guess what, the old man tore up all the drawings of most of the students in our class, and then asked us to repaint, but he continued to assign homework, piled up the day to draw twenty, and so on." ”
"But this kid is even more miserable, because he is a student recruited by the old man alone, since it is a special case, the requirements are naturally higher, when he first started to learn painting with the master, in that month, all the works he painted were torn up by the old man and thrown into the trash, not a single one is left, not to mention seventy or eighty sheets."
Hearing him say this, Ning Chaoxi was secretly frightened, she glanced sideways at the people around her, but Chen Xun picked up the napkin in front of her casually, folded it, and spread it on her legs, with a faint expression on her face, as if what Zheng Xu was talking about had nothing to do with him.
Seeing her come over, Chen Xun smiled lightly at her: "It's all over." ”
Zheng Xu smiled when he heard his words: "Of course you are all over, but I thought you were hit badly, and I was kind enough to enlighten you, but guess what, this guy went to work during the day like no one, and continued to stay in the studio to paint in the afternoon, until twelve o'clock in the evening, I suspect that he is going to paint until his hand cramps." ”
"And then?" Ning Chaoxi listened to what he said, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"He wanted to make money for Uncle Chen to treat his illness during that time, and the little salary he earned during the day was definitely not enough, so I found a way for him, and secretly continued to take orders at school to help students complete their homework without telling the master, I originally wanted to score half of it, but this guy said......"
"I'm six, you're four." Chen Xun remembered the events of that time, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.
"Yes, just you six and me four, originally I didn't agree, but thinking of Uncle Chen's condition, I put up with it, but I still didn't hide it, and then I was discovered by the master and scolded the two of us in blood." Zheng Xu grinned.
It was originally a very distressing past, but when he said it in such a funny tone, Ning Chaoxi suddenly laughed with a 'poof': "Then the two of you will stop?" ”
"My dad was going to have surgery at the time, and I didn't have enough money." Chen Xun carefully cut the steak served by the waiter to the table and put it in front of her.
"Yes, then we will continue to take orders, my uncle's illness cannot be delayed, I put my own money in order to help him, and in the end I didn't even get the 'four'." Zheng Xu shook his head, picked up the red wine handed by the waiter, poured himself a little, and asked Ning Chaoxi: "Do you want to have some?" ”
Ning Chaoxi was just about to agree, but Chen Xun held the wine glass: "She doesn't drink." ”
"Chen Xun, I can drink." Ning Chaoxi glared and said dissatisfied.
"You can drink it, you'll get dizzy." Chen Xun didn't let go.
Zheng Xu listened to the conversation between the two of them and fed them twice: "I'm still here, you two have to be restrictive, you have to abuse my single dog." He turned the bottle to Chen Xun: "Drink?" ”
"I'm driving." Chen Xun replied to him with these three words.
Zheng Xu put down the wine bottle: "Okay, then I'll drink it myself." ”
Halfway through their story, and halfway through the dinner, Zheng Xu shook the cup, poured the red wine into his mouth, and continued: "Although the old man's temper is a little weird, Chen Xun can have such a status today, he is indeed indispensable, and we are all grateful to him." ”
At the end of the meal, Zheng Xu was a little drunk, and when he thought of something, he said: "Miss Ning, there are some things that I don't say are appropriate, but I have known Chen Xun for so many years, and I have heard about things between you, I have watched him work hard little by little over the years, I don't know anything else, but he really loves you, I hope you can treat him well and don't live up to his eight years of dedication." ”
"I know." Ning Chaoxi quietly clenched Chen Xun's hand under the dining table, sensing the gaze of the people around her, but she didn't turn her head, but looked at Zheng Xu, who had drunk too much, word by word, her eyebrows were serious, as if she was making some pious and solemn promise, she said, "I will." ”
"Your relationship with Zheng Xu is really good." After they sent Zheng Xu home, Ning Chaoxi took his hand and waited for the elevator.
"Well, he helped me a lot." Chen Xun looked up at the number jumping in the elevator, turned his gaze to her again, and suddenly said, "He was also expelled from school because of me." ”
"Ah, what?" Ning Chaoxi was slightly stunned.
"The school found out about helping students complete their homework, and he took it all in, and the school gave him a warning, but he didn't tell me, and when we continued to take orders, he received the school's withdrawal punishment."
Zheng Xu said at the time, it's okay, he doesn't want to read it anyway. But Chen Xun kept his kindness in his heart.
"Chen Xun ......"
"Huh?"
Ning Chaoxi shook his head, he must have had hardships and hardships that she didn't know about in the past eight years, but he didn't say a word, all of them were stuffed in his heart, all he showed was his good side, and the sadness and pain were hidden, and she suddenly felt that compared to him, her eight years of waiting were nothing.
