CHAPTER XXXV
Sukla and Chida were listening to the whole chat, and the fat man was listening and watching in the restaurant where he was hiding nearby.
Sukla is half-pushed into a high-end restaurant by Chida, and the fat man follows him in.
Chida ordered a few outrageously expensive items before handing the menu to Sukla. He looked at the price of the menu and frowned and said, "The price of this restaurant is too expensive, let's change it." ”
"This is the only way to express my affection for you, you don't care so much, just like what you like, this money is nothing to me."
"How can this be done, I ......" Before Sukla could finish his sentence, Kida waved his hand at him and continued, "Don't worry about these things, these things are just superficial things. I can only do these things a little bit, your artistic attainments are really amazing, you are willing to make me a painting, this meal is nothing. ”
Su Kra didn't say much after hearing this, and his face was still a little embarrassed, but he actually accepted it in his heart. The fat man watched the change in Sukla's expression at a table not far away, and touched the stubble on his chin thoughtfully.
From time to time, during the process of serving, Chida asked for some knowledge about painting. As the expensive and delicious dishes slowly served on the table, it was clear that Sukla's mind was no longer on discussing expertise with him. He immediately said, "Teacher Su, don't pay so much attention to it, let's eat." As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and picked up the vegetables.
Sukla immediately picked up the chopsticks and began to eat Hese, and when the fat man saw Sukla like this, he said that this guy should not have strong self-control, and it seemed that he had hope of getting the key from him.
It didn't take long for the dishes on the table to be swept away. Qida smiled and asked the waiter to add a few dishes, and then asked Sukla: "Teacher Su is really a lover, and he is so bold in eating." I take the liberty of asking if you are living in a very poor situation. I don't mean anything else, I just don't think a capable artist like you deserves to live a poor life. ”
Sukla smiled awkwardly and said, "As an art teacher, the income is really not very good, after all, there are not a few classes a week. ”
"In this way, I will help you hold an art exhibition so that more people can know about your paintings, and I think that your works will definitely be appreciated by many people at once. This should increase your income and I'm sure you'll be able to create better work as a result. Chida's eyes were blazing, and he looked straight at Sukla, as if he was going to hold an exhibition, not Sukla.
The fat man endured not laughing out loud on the side, and said in his heart that it was a pity that this guy didn't act, and the expression in this section was really in place. Sukla was also infected by Chida's enthusiasm, but he was still a little unconfident, and he looked like he wanted to say something. Qi Daxin said that he had to add more fire, so he stood up and raised his voice and patted Su Kla's back vigorously and said, "Teacher Su, I believe in your strength, and you also have to believe in yourself." The reason why you're not famous is that you don't have a suitable platform to get your work into the public eye. Now that I have decided to help you and provide you with this platform, what are you waiting for! ”
Sukla was slapped like this by Chida, and the enthusiasm in his heart was like dry wood that was ignited. His emotions also became high, and Sukla said a little excitedly: "Since you believe in me so much and are willing to support me, then I can't live up to your expectations." ”
When the fat man saw this scene, he knew that the key was half in hand. When Chida heard him agree, he was also very happy, he ordered the most expensive bottle of wine and clinked glasses with Sukla and said, "You will prepare the paintings to be exhibited during this time, and I will help you contact the places and people." Finally, I wish you success! ”
"Thank you!"
After that, the two drank a lot, and it seemed that the relationship between Sukla and Chida had become very good. After drinking, the conversation is no longer limited to painting. Chida is very drinkable, and constantly pours Sukla with wine. Sukla's alcohol consumption seemed to be mediocre, and when Chida felt that he was already dazed, she stopped drinking with him.
At this point, Chida began to try to ask Sukla about the school, and he wondered why the school would give him such an important key to keep such an ordinary person.
"Lao Su, what do you usually do at school?"
"I just draw and read books all the time, and occasionally guide students to paint. It's boring, what are you asking for? ”
"Just curious, why do you teach here? If you quit this job and concentrate on painting and buying paintings, you may pay a lot more than this job. ”
"I can't help it, my wife also admires my paintings, but she thinks I'm not at the level where I can buy paintings for a living. Since she was the younger sister of the principal of this school, I asked her brother to let me teach here first. I also learn while teaching, and I don't just have a teaching job, the school also asks me to keep a key, and I also earn a lot of income from keeping this key. But no matter what, I don't have the financial resources like you, see the smile and laugh. ”
"Lao Su, where are you talking about this, I can always feel that the most important thing for a person is ability, not money. You can do it, and you don't have to worry about anything else. I'm not as good as you, and all I have is money. I used to draw a picture for my brother to see, and I drew a building, and he said I was more like a staircase. Hahahaha! Chida and Sukla laughed as they chatted, which drew a reminder from the waiter.
It was a very disappointing thing to be interrupted from chatting, Sukla frowned and was about to talk to the waiter, but Qida stopped him and said, "Old Su, you drank a little too much, don't worry about him." Since it's not fun here, I'll take you home first, and next time we'll change to a place where we can talk. ”
Sukla was overwhelmed by the wine, and he didn't know what to say, and his eyes couldn't be opened. Chida carried Sukla out of the restaurant, and the fat man also came over, looked at Sukla and whispered to Chida, "This guy seems to be very happy to drink like this." ”
"Haha, it looks like there's a show. Fatty, you drive, I'll ask him where his house is, and I'll send him back. After Qida finished speaking, he leaned into Sukla's ear and asked, "Old Su, old Su." I'll send you home now, and you tell me the address. Sukla said an address in a daze, and Chida and the fat man sent him back.
While dropping Sukla home, Chida also meets his wife, who introduces himself to him and lifts Sukla onto the couch. Sukla's wife is a woman who loves him very much, and her face is full of distress when she sees Sukla drinking like this. She kept telling Chida not to let him drink so much in the future.
Chida apologized to her and left the Sukla house. After doing this, Qida and the fat man immediately rushed back to their residence to discuss their next move.
