Back at the office, Lu Qianfan only felt a headache. He put Guernica's old cat aside and said, "This painting is a bit surrealist except for the composition and technique, and I can't see the connotation of the painting at all." ”

Tang Jie took the painting and asked, "Do you still know art appreciation?" ”

Lu Qianfan said: "I don't understand. But Guernica's painting should be known to anyone who has taken an art class. This painting, completely devoid of the essence of Picasso, right? What is it other than drawing a cat so that you can't tell it's a cat? ”

Tang Jie stared at Lu Qianfan. "Tell the truth."

"This painting is purely confusing to people, I am annoyed when I look at it, no matter how he paints, I will spray it directly."

Tang Jie said: "You have the potential to be a keyboard warrior. ”

Lu Qianfan was out of strength and fell on the bar. "Genius, is there any way to find a cat? It's not to lure the cat out, but to find the cat's tracks. ”

"Scissors to find the cat."

Lu Qianfan asked in surprise: "Scissors looking for a cat?" Will it work? ”

Tang Jie said: "Put a basin of water in the center of the stove, and then place a pair of scissors, the tip of which is slightly open, pointing at the door or window. Silently recite the name of the cat in your heart, sincerely hope that the cat will come back, and imagine what the cat looks like, and then ......"

"Isn't that metaphysics!"

"You think you can find a trace of a cat?" Tang Jie said: "The way to find a cat, which is not to lure the cat back by itself?" You go to find a hunter with insect and beast attributes, and it's not easy to find a cat? ”

Lu Qianfan buried his head in the crook of his arm in disappointment, not wanting to speak. He thought to himself, "The cats are gone, where can I go to bring them out." ”

"Why are you so interested in this commission all of a sudden?"

Lu Qianfan said: "Someone promised me to find the cat and give me 20 million." ”

Tom Jie's thumb flicked violently. "Well done."

"Then you have to be able to find it." Lu Qianfan lied to Tang Jie. "A lot of people are looking for this cat, but I have to find it myself." Although I am very sorry for Tang Jie, but it is related to the essence of the world, Le Ningyue told me everything, and Lu Qianfan did not reveal it at will, so Lu Qianfan had to make up a reason to get by.

The call to Xiao Ranran was finally connected, but without waiting for Lu Qianfan to say a few more words, Xiao Ranran hurriedly went to participate in the hunt and hung up the phone. Lu Qianfan looked at the less than thirty seconds of talk time on his mobile phone and sighed helplessly.

345 Huying Street, Juyun Gallery. Chen Jufei, the owner of this gallery, is the publisher of the commission for the cat.

Lu Qianfan followed the instructions of the mobile phone navigation and turned seven or eight times on the street before finding this gallery. He looked at the plaque, which was almost hidden in the corner, and frowned slightly. "Is the gallery going to be so hidden?"

Tang Jie said: "It's not an art exhibition, it's just a gallery that sells paintings to collectors, and location is not the primary consideration. If you can work with well-known painters, no matter how remote the gallery is, there will be people who will come. ”

Lu Qianfan walked around the door of the gallery and said, "I don't think that people usually come here, the dust on the door shaft is thick enough." However, there were a lot of guests who suddenly came today. There have been a lot of gadgets to seduce cats at the door. ”

"Has anyone come, can you check their family's accounts?" Tang Jie handed his tablet to Lu Qianfan and asked, "How long will it take you to check the transaction records?" ”

Lu Qianfan didn't answer the tablet. "Why don't you give me a collection code and let me check, it's nothing, you let me Haidilao?"

"Then meet the gallery owner." As he spoke, Tang Jie was about to enter the gallery, but was stopped by Lu Qianfan. "Don't worry, you can lend me some money first."

"What are you borrowing money for?"

Lu Qianfan said: "Ask directly, you can't ask anything valuable." ”

"So what?"

"Gotta fill the glass." Lu Qianfan smiled evilly.

Two hours later, Lu Qianfan, who had changed into a suit, walked out of Hailan House. He put on his sunglasses and said, "Genius, you will be the housekeeper in charge of my finances in a while." ”

Tang Jie glared at Lu Qianfan and said angrily: "Your suit costs 3,000 yuan, and you are no different from a real estate agent when you wear it, and you still want to play a high-class person here?" ”

Lu Qianfan said: "Who told you to be young like an old cadre? ”

"Get out." Tang Jie looked at his woolen sweater and pushed his gold-wire glasses. "It's called intellectuality."

Lu Qianfan said with a smile: "So I need a senior talent like you to be my financial housekeeper." Young master, what I want is magnanimity and trend, and my intellect does not match my personality. ”

"It's the rich second generation who is stupid and has a lot of money." Tang Jie rolled his eyes and said, "The office will not reimburse the money for buying clothes." ”

The smug smile on Lu Qianfan's face disappeared in an instant. As an excellent actor, he was actually hung up with the character of the rich second generation, and he is not the rich second generation like Principal Wang, this thing is outrageous! People are stupid and rich in the second generation, isn't this a trick for the protagonist to send money to his sister? It doesn't match his image of a brilliant and great, intelligent and witty protagonist!

"If you give me a random personality, it won't be authentic if you still pay the money. I also spent this money to complete the commission of the firm and increase the completion rate of the commission! ”

Tang Jie said: "Honestly go and find out the information. As long as you perform well, I don't know about your extra income of 20 million, and I don't need to hand it over to the firm. ”

The two of them returned to the gallery, and Lu Qianfan walked in with the painting of the cat.

The gallery is dimly lit, and no one is visible. Rows and rows of paintings hang on the walls, illuminated by soft lighting. In Lu Qianfan's opinion, the content of each painting is very strange.

The composition is full of geometric lines and geometric blocks, and the facial features and movements are almost indistinguishable. Lu Qianfan looked at the painting in his hand, then at the works on the wall, and said, "It seems that this gallery has a lot to do with the owner of this painting. A gallery is entirely composed of his paintings. ”

"Is the gentleman here looking for someone?" In the shadow of the corner of the gallery, an old man in his forties suddenly appeared, walked in front of Lu Qianfan, and said, "Our boss's favorite cat has just been lost, and I haven't seen any customers recently, so you can communicate with me if you have anything." ”

"We're here to buy paintings." Lu Qianfan turned on his mobile phone and took the trouble to find an electronic business card. He handed the electronic business card to the middle-aged man and said, "I am the investment director of Shanquan Investment, Ma Polang. ”

When Tang Jie saw the business card on Lu Qianfan's mobile phone, he immediately felt embarrassed, and secretly prayed that this middle-aged man would not be too well-informed. Lu Qianfan's business card, he simply took a picture of a business card in Baidu, and after downloading it, the random P picture was processed and it was revealed. Even the most basic electronic information entry function of the vCard has not been added.

Lu Qianfan was calm and relaxed. "I love the style and the brushstrokes of this painting, the painter has a high level of artistic appreciation," he says. I think his paintings have a strong potential for appreciation. As an investor, I would love to meet this wonderful painter. ”

Seeing that the middle-aged man did not react, Lu Qianfan continued to say seriously: "In fact, I hope to be able to buy all the paintings of this painter and establish a long-term relationship with this painter. ”

When he heard that Lu Qianfan wanted to buy all the paintings, Tang Jie was also taken aback by his confidence. He hurriedly leaned into Lu Qianfan's ear and said, "Let me tell you, if you dare to buy it, you will pay the money yourself!" These paintings cost millions, and the office doesn't have the spare money to wipe your ass! ”

Lu Qianfan nodded disappreciatively. Then, he pushed Tang Jie away with great care, and said contrivedly and excitedly: "I'll tell you, don't ask me about money!" Is the beauty of these paintings something that people like you can appreciate with only money in their eyes? I'm telling you, any painting here, ten years, no, five years, no, three years! In three years at most, the price per square meter will reach more than one million yuan! Whether it's for art or business, I have to collect these paintings, no, masterpieces! ”

Tang Jie was disturbed by Lu Qianfan's passionate and embarrassing performance. He suppressed the thought of scolding Lu Qianfan from the bottom of his heart, and said as cooperatively as possible: "Sir, the amount of investment you have at your disposal this year is not much. ”

"Then go and apply to the board!" After Lu Qianfan scolded Tang Jie loudly, he turned to the middle-aged man and said, "If you understand my purpose, please be sure to help us contact this painter, or let us meet the owner of this gallery." I am also interested in this colleague who shares my taste and appreciation for art. ”

Lu Qianfan's subdued and frustrating line skills made Tang Jie want to send him to the Central Academy of Drama to study acting. Lu Qianfan's ability to lie calmly and easily and the kung fu of making up nonsense are absolutely unique.

The middle-aged man was stunned by Lu Qianfan's string of lines. He hesitated for a moment, then pulled his phone out of his pocket and prepared to dial it. "Please wait a minute, I'll call our boss and ask for instructions."

Lu Qianfan nodded with satisfaction, but Tang Jie poked Lu Qianfan's waist at this time, and his eyes flew to the trash can in the corner of the gallery. Lu Qianfan followed Tang Jie's gaze and immediately understood what Tang Jie meant.

"Wait." Lu Qianfan stopped the middle-aged man from making a phone call, and after looking around in the dim gallery, he said loudly towards a closed door: "I know that there are guests coming, and I don't plan to meet him, it seems that I want to refuse politely." In that case, Ma said goodbye! ”

"Mr. Ma, don't be angry." The door opened, and a young woman walked out of the room and said politely, "My eldest brother is rude, please come into the house for a while." ”

Lu Qianfan took off his sunglasses and said with a smile: "I'm happy." With that, he walked into the office with Tang Jie.

As soon as the two of them walked into the office, they saw a somewhat scruffy man wearing a very fancy blazer and walking with a smile on his face. He stretched out his right hand and said, "Contemptible Chen Jufei, I'm glad to talk to you about cooperation, Mr. Ma." ”

The smell of green onions made Lu Qianfan couldn't help but take a step back, he looked at Chen Jufei's greasy right hand, frowned slightly, and had to take it politely, and then let go. "I am also very happy to meet Mr. Chen as a tasteful collector," he said. ”

Tang Jie admired Lu Qianfan incomparably. Chen Jufei has all the bells and whistles, how exaggerated and exaggerated he is. Not only is it unkempt, but it also exudes a choking smell of green onions. In this way, he can still praise him for his taste, Lu Qianfan is also a master who is not afraid of thunder!

"Well, how about we talk about cooperation?"

The young woman walked up to Chen Jufei and said, "Brother, you are too anxious. Let's sit down and talk slowly. ”

Lu Qianfan noticed that the woman had obviously just cleaned up the coffee table and sofa in the office, and his eyes couldn't help but linger on the woman. Looks like he is about twenty years old, with a goose egg face with a little baby fat. The soft facial features reveal the unique restraint and gentleness of the daughter of the Han family.

"Who is this?"

"My cousin, Qiao Qing."

Lu Qianfan sat on the sofa and did not intend to take over Chen Jufei's topic of cooperation—he was not here to talk about cooperation. However, he did not intend to go straight to his own topic, but said: "Mr. Chen's family education is really unusual, not only has a unique taste in collecting, but also has a unique vision. Ling Mei is also smart and lovely, and she knows that she is a scholarly family. The brother and sister have both Western enthusiasm and Eastern gentleness, and I really don't know what kind of family background can cultivate two such excellent talents. ”

Tang Jie thought to himself: "Is this still Lu Qianfan?" ”

"Mr. Ma has a good eye! My sister is twenty-one years old and still single. If you like her, I'll let her spend more time with you, she is a painter and must have a lot in common with you. ”

Seeing Chen Jufei's smile, Lu Qianfan almost slapped his head and said to him: "Big brother, I didn't mean that." He coughed lightly and said, "I'm just commenting, Mr. Chen, don't think too much." However, since Miss Qiao is studying painting, could it be that this painting is your masterpiece? ”

It seems that without Lu Qianfan taking out the painting from his arms, Qiao Qing knows which painting it is. "My painting style is more like Monet's impressionism than surrealism," she says. ”

"Monet? I really liked his Saint-La Chare train station. Lu Qianfan brought the sunglasses in his hand to his eyes. His eyes drifted over the lenses, and he said, "However, I admire Picasso's surrealism more, especially his Guernica." Three-dimensional, realistic, and surrealist are combined in his paintings. Guernica's composition, image, colors, every aspect is stunning. It can be said that he vividly expressed the cruelty of war in an abstract painting. I think this is something that few other painters have. ”

Lu Qianfan's chatter makes people think that he is really an expert in art appreciation. However, Tang Jie behind him could see it clearly. The bytes flashing on the sunglasses can hide from others, but they can't hide from him. The sunglasses in Lu Qianfan's hand turned out to be a teleprompter! It's no wonder that Lu Qianfan deliberately took the time to transform this ordinary sunglasses after selling out the suit.

"I believe that art should always come from life, and be higher than life." Lu Qianfan gave full play to his ability to talk nonsense, and said: "I believe that this painter who has inherited the style of a master must have experienced and seen a lot, and integrated his life and soul into this painting." Make every painting full and moving. ”

Rao is a professional student of painting, and Qiao Qing was also stunned by Lu Qianfan's words. Lu Qianfan took out the painting of the cat from his arms and said, "For example, this painting, can you tell me the story behind it?" ”

When Chen Jufei saw this painting, he showed a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, which can be said to have hidden everything he thought in his heart. He said, "Oh, this painting." It's my cat drawn, and my sister and I love this cat. However, it went missing a few days ago. We couldn't find any other pictures of the cat for a while, so we had to use this painting instead of the photo, which is hard to identify, isn't it? ”

Chen Jufei's tone was flat, not at all like the sadness that the middle-aged man outside the Fang Cai Sect said. Lu Qianfan glanced at Qiao Qing's expression again, and suddenly had a clue in his heart.

Tang Jie's mobile phone rang suddenly, and it was Lu Qianfan who secretly dialed it. Tang Jie understood what Lu Qianfan meant, so he naturally cooperated with his performance and found a reason for Lu Qianfan to end the dialogue.

After Qiao Qing sent Lu Qianfan and Tang Jie out of the gallery, Qiao Qing suddenly asked, "You are not actually investing, you are hunters who are here to find cats, right?" ”

Lu Qianfan smiled and said, "You are smarter than your brother." Of course, even if you tell your brother, it's no problem. ”

Qiao Qing shook his head and said, "Let him be happy." Excuse me, how did you know we were in the office? ”

"Oh, on the takeaway box in the trash can, the takeaway receipt has not been torn off. Three lunches that had just been delivered less than an hour later. Lu Qianfan said: "No matter how you think about it, it won't be eaten alone." ”

"I see. As a reminder, Picasso's paintings are not entirely surreal. His painting style shifted from realism to surrealism, but it was not limited to this, Fauvism, Impressionism, Cubism, etc. were all combined in his paintings. Because of his original and colorful artistic style, Picasso is regarded as a magician of modern art. ”

"It turns out that there is a flaw here, thank you." Lu Qianfan smiled, put on his sunglasses in a chic manner, and turned to leave.

"What's the matter, you look like you're in a good mood." Tang Jie asked.

"A wave of cups has a clue!"
