Chapter 69: The Art Gallery
The director of the Delier Art Gallery was called Delier, a guy with obvious Ogding arrogance, and even if he had some artistic air in him, he couldn't hide the contempt in his eyes when he looked at Durin. It's like the contempt of a gentleman standing in a noble hall in leather boots, looking down at the footprints of a country boy who walks barefoot and feet in the mud and walks on the snow-white floor.
Delier is a very "artistic" person, he wears a purple neutral shiny suit, the white collar edge is outlined with silver silk thread, it should be pure silver, at least the sparkling color in the light, not some low-grade material. He wears a pair of white crocodile leather shoes, which is different from the others, and people prefer to wear leather boots over leather shoes, because in a society where road traffic is still very problematic, leather shoes are too easy for dirt to get into the upper of the shoe or stain the socks.
His hair was shiny, like Wood's, but it didn't look stiff, it looked a little soft. The curls of the sevenths are to the right, and the other three are backwards. There was some light makeup on his fair and emaciated face, and if it weren't for the suffix on his business card, Durin would have thought of him as a masculine woman.
He took the business card from Durin and glanced at it. The business cards of artists like him who are full of "artistic atmosphere" often have some artistic characteristics. For example, the name on his business card was handwritten, and Du Lin also found someone to recognize it before he realized that the lines of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance were actually letters. He then pocketed his business card with one hand across his chest and the other on his arm, a thin white cigarette between his fingers.
"You're friends with Kevin's bad guy? Delier's voice was also very girly, and this time he did not hide a trace of disgust in his eyes, as if what was in front of him was not a human, but a pile of garbage. The "friendship" between him and Kevin is not harmonious, in fact, someone once entrusted Kevin to sue Delier Art Museum, and Delier and Kevin met in that incident, and spent a thousand yuan to settle the case under Kevin's persuasion.
Indecent assault cases.
It is said that the man who sued him was the head of a middle-class family who had the financial means to send their children to be trained in the arts, who sometimes taught them about the arts. I don't know if the child was very special, or because of some other reason, anyway, Delier molested the child and was known by the child's family.
In the end, he had to privately come up with a thousand dollars to find out about the matter, and if the case came to light, he could be expelled from Tennell by his angry parents.
Durin shrugged his shoulders, not very concerned about Delier's sneering words, "He's the devil, we're all friends with the devil!", he meant that if Kevin is really a bad guy, according to his thinking, all the people who are friends with Kevin are not good people, then he is certainly not a good person himself.
Delier sneered and twisted his head to the side, puffing on a puff of smoke and squinting at Durin, "I have limited time, explain your intentions!"
At this time, Durin found out that Delier actually wore nail polish, purple nail polish, and he seemed to like this color very much. Staggering this attention, Durin whispered, "I think we should go to your office to talk, and I will offer you a price that you are satisfied with." ”
At this time, Delier's eyes lit up a little, and he nodded hesitantly, obviously money impressed him more than what he didn't like.
The two of them entered Delier's office one after the other, which was very simple and indeed full of art. Different from the leather sofas of those big people, the sofa here is covered cloth, and the fabric sofa is just starting to become popular in the Bright Star Empire, and many big people feel that this thing is used by poor people, so it has not yet become completely popular. If the trend lacks the recognition of the mainstream group in society, it is not the trend, but the non-mainstream.
The furnishings in the room are very artistic, and the strange furniture looks like it should cost a lot of money, and this non-standard furniture can only be made by hand and can be expensive.
Delier Shi Ran walked over to his rotating round chair, the kind of chair that looked like an eggshell had been pulled out of a window, and the whole person was sunk in. He crossed his legs, took the last puff of his cigarette, and threw the end into a trash can next to the chair that looked like a child with his head tilted up and his mouth wide open.......
"What do you want from me, and what are you going to give?"
Very direct, which Durin was satisfied with, he walked to the table, sat down on the chair carved out of crooked wooden roots, and stretched out three fingers, "Help me catch Vivien as soon as possible, and I will pay you three thousand dollars." ”
Three thousand yuan is not a small amount, even if the Delier Art Museum is the only art museum in Tennell City, and it is also a place where noblewomen gather and spend, the monthly income is only three or five hundred yuan, sometimes less. Three thousand yuan is enough for his income for half a year, he was very moved, but he decisively refused.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you, you can leave. When he said this reluctantly, Delier felt that his heart was dripping blood. That's three thousand dollars, God above, enough for him to squander for a long time. Seeing the money disappear into his own world, his heart ached and he almost couldn't breathe.
Du Lin pursed his lips, "Five thousand!"
Delier sizzled and closed his eyes. The slight trembling eyelashes were enough to show the fierce struggle in his heart at this time, but soon, he still rejected the deal again.
It's not that he doesn't like money and doesn't want to get it, it's that Doolin's trading targets are too tricky. It was the mayor's wife, and Lady Vivien had a certain amount of energy in the entire circle of Canleth's noblewomen. She is not only the honorary president of the Canleth Women's Safeguards Association, but also the daughter of the former Governor. Without knowing Durin's purpose, he didn't dare to stretch out his hand at all.
If something goes wrong, it won't be that Turner City can't accommodate it, it's that the whole of Canleth, or even the whole of the South, won't have a foothold for him!
It's not worth ruining the foundation you run for a sum of money that is really not small!
Dourin sighed, "Unfortunately, we weren't able to reach a consensus. As he spoke, he stood up and crossed the table under Delier's gaze, and Delier, who was sitting behind the table, faintly realized that something was wrong, and when he was about to say something, the words in his throat were suddenly stuck there, and he couldn't spit out at all.
