Chapter 229: I'll Find You
This is simply 'poisoning'!
"Early tomorrow morning, don't forget to ask the florist to send flowers." Lu Yingdong confessed.
"Don't worry, I've already arranged this."
Retracting his gaze at the paintings on the wall, Lu Yingdong immediately became a high-minded boss: "You prepare the materials that will be photographed next month, and we will have a meeting in ten minutes." β
The easy time passed, and Ah Ping immediately transformed himself and resumed his subordinate identity.
"Yes, boss."
In the office area of Izumo Gallery, Jiang Qingluo was lying on the desk weakly, with a bitter face as if the sky was about to fall, woo, Xiyang has been painting for her for several days, but she has not been able to wait for the news of the start of the art exhibition, and finally knew that the exhibition will be held tomorrow, and she wanted to go in to have a look, but she was told that she could not enter without an invitation.
ββ¦β¦ Woo. "She wanted to cry out loud, for the first time in her life, she liked something so much, woo, she didn't have an invitation.
Someone cleared her throat behind her: "Qingluo, what's wrong with you, why do you look sad and unhappy?" β
When she looked up, Xi Yang was wearing a clean white shirt and was smiling at her.
"Xiyang, tomorrow is the art exhibition, I really want to go in and take a look at that painting......"
"Which one?" Xi Yang painted too many paintings, "Oh, I see, do you mean to paint that painting of yours?" β
Jiang Qingluo nodded, with a dull face: "That's it." β
"What's so hard about that? If you want to go in and see it, I'll take you in when the time comes. Xi Yang thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a small matter, so he just said hello.
"Really?" Jiang Qingluo's eyes lit up, and the whole person became excited, she stood up and couldn't help but hold Xi Yang's hand, "Can you really take me in?" β
It's an annual traveling exhibition at Izumo Gallery, and there are a lot of media coming, so it's not just anyone who wants to go in.
"Of course." As soon as Xi Yang promised Jiang Qingluo, his assistant reminded him later.
"Tomorrow you have an appointment to go to Milan for Fashion Week."
What the? Jiang Qingluo was a little dumbfounded, Xiyang has no time tomorrow?
"Oops, I almost forgot, I'm going to Milan tomorrow to see Fashion Week......" Xi Yang said to Jiang Qingluo apologetically: "I'm sorry Qingluo, I can't take you in to see the exhibition tomorrow, but I can give you an invitation, you can go in by yourself when the time comes, okay?" β
It's just too good!
Jiang Qingluo was almost about to hug her, she said happily: "Of course it's okay, thank you so much Xiyang, you are so good!" β
"What's this, I like Qingluo the most." There was a faint smile on Xiyang's delicate face.
Jiang Qingluo was slightly embarrassed.
The next day, Jiang Qingluo jumped anxiously like an ant on a hot pot: "Today is the art exhibition, where is my invitation?" β
She rummaged through her desk until she found it in the first drawer on the left. After getting the invitation, Jiang Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief, now is the working time, she can't skip work to see it, she can use the lunch time to pass, at that time there are fewer people in the gallery.
After making up his mind, Jiang Qingluo put away the invitation card and sat on the chair and worked hard.
Her job is very simple, she is a small clerk who does reports, and after a busy morning, Jiang Qingluo can't wait to rush to the Izumo Gallery exhibition hall after work.
The gallery exhibition hall and office area are not far away, and after successfully entering the gallery with the invitation cardββββ
"One, two, three...... Eleven? Shaking his head, Jiang Qingluo counted from front to back, eleven is eleven, and the twelfth painting is missing, what's going on, did someone buy it?
No, two of these paintings are already marked with the words "sold", which indicates that the buyer has been found, and the buyer will wait until the end of the exhibition tour to take the painting, in other words, the painting of Xi Yang using her as a model is not in today's display at all.
How is this possible? Didn't Xi Yang say that his paintings would definitely be exhibited? He also said that the painting was going to be given to her!
Don't worry, it's not a way for her to think about it here, or call Xiyang to ask, he must know what's going on.
Jiang Qingluo hurriedly turned around and was about to leave the gallery, but bumped into the person who had just pushed the door in, if it wasn't for the other party reaching out in time to hug her waist, she would definitely fall to the ground at this time!
"I'm sorry......" When he looked at the man in front of him clearly, Jiang Qingluo was slightly stunned, this man has a very domineering and masculine face, and even his temperament is similar to someone......
Lu Yingdong was also stunned, was he dreaming? He stared at that 'familiar' face in shock, and after half a sound, his tone couldn't help but have a little more urgency and toughness!
"Who are you?"
Jiang Qingluo frowned, subconsciously unacceptable to this man's attitude, she said angrily: "I already told you I'm sorry, sir." β
"Your name?" Completely unaware that his tone was getting more and more impatient, Lu Yingdong wanted to make sure that she was a real person with a name and a surname!
Jiang Qingluo pursed his lips and explained his position word by word: "Why should I tell you? β
"I want to know!" Lu Yingdong's answer is powerful, and his authority is unquestionable.
God, this was ridiculous, he wondered, did she have to tell him? She really hates this kind of self-respecting man now!
"I just won't tell you, what do you want?"
After a few seconds, Lu Yingdong's excited emotions finally eased, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and he seemed to be in a very happy mood: "If you don't tell me, I can still find out." β
"If you have the ability, go check it out!" Jiang Qingluo couldn't help but raise his chin defiantly.
"You're awkward." Lu Ying Dongdao.
This sentence is right, sometimes I am very embarrassed, Jiang Qingluo asked rhetorically: "What can you do with me?" β
Anyway, she has no money and no power, and this man shouldn't have trouble with herself, right?
"Let's make a bet, I'll find you in three days." No one dared to call out to his authority, and Lu Yingdong didn't expect it to be so interesting to accept the challenge.
"I'm not interested in betting with you." Jiang Qingluo didn't know him.
"Not interested, or don't dare?" Without waiting for her to answer, Lu Yingdong asked tentatively: "Do you know Xiyang?" β
"Xiyang?" With a chill of sweat all over his body, Jiang Qingluo looked at him vigilantly: "I don't need to tell you. β
But Lu Yingdong was smiling at her: "Your expression already tells me the answer." β
Jiang Qingluo puffed up her chest, she was not a woman who was scared so easily! She also knows how to bluff people with her mouth: "The expression does not necessarily represent the truth, if I don't say it, it means that there is no answer, you guess slowly!" β
Lu Yingdong smiled, he had never had this kind of blood-boiling feeling, he liked her, a smart and cunning little woman.
"You don't have anything to say, do you?" Jiang Qingluo found that he didn't like his smile at all, and felt like a tiger that had found its prey!
"You're interesting." Lu Yingdong had to admit it.
"So what? It has nothing to do with you! "She just wants to get out of now.
"Really?" His eyes clearly told her that he was going to have an unclear relationship with her.
His eyes made Jiang Qingluo inexplicably uneasy, and she finally realized the intimate distance between the two, and his arm was still on her waist.
"Sir, can you please let me go?"
Lu Yingdong let go of his hand without objection, and he added a sentence: "My name is Lu Yingdong." β
Lu Yingdong? Jiang Qingluo was taken aback!
"You know me?" The corners of Lu Yingdong's lips raised his eyebrows with a smile.
"No, I don't know." It's not a lie, Jiang Qingluo has only heard his name, and he doesn't know him, because he is the owner of Izumo Gallery, and he is an employee of Izumo Gallery, so how can he know his name...... However, she suddenly felt very weak?
"I'm glad I met you." Lu Yingdong's words are too sincere.
"Thanks, it's a pity that I still have something to do, bye-bye!" She walked past him to the door.
The smile on Lu Yingdong's face deepened, and he said confidently behind her, "We will definitely meet again." β
Jiang Qingluo glanced back at him, although he was the boss, he still couldn't help pouting, and the moment the door closed, she heard a demonstration behind her: "You wait and see!" β
After Jiang Qingluo went out, he couldn't help but say: "Domineering! Arrogant! It's really self-righteous, it's just the same as Gu Shaoyang......"
Soon, she pursed her mouth again, why did she suddenly think of Gu Shaoyang!
Why did Lu Yingdong let himself wait and see, and said that he would definitely find her within three days? Did she offend him somewhere? Looks like it's the first time we've met today, right? I really can't figure it out......
Ah! Shake your head, don't be cranky! He's just an unpleasant episode at best, they won't cross paths anymore, he's a boss, and she's just a little employee, getting angry will hurt her body, it doesn't make sense at all, what she should care about now is the painting.
Speaking of that painting, Jiang Qingluo couldn't figure it out.
"Strange, why is that painting missing?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingluo immediately called Xiyang, and it took a long time for Xiyang to connect.
"Qingluo." Xi Yang's voice was smiling.
"Xiyang, why didn't the painting you used me as a model appear in the gallery?" Jiang Qingluo went straight to the point.
Xi Yang over there replied slowly: "Have you asked others?" β
"Yes, I asked my secretary, Kelly, and she said that the painting was bought, but she wouldn't tell me who the buyer was."
"It's not surprising that galleries don't reveal the identity of their buyers, and some art collectors don't like to show off, but the paintings should stay in the gallery until the exhibition is over." Xiyang replied.
"That's right, at least let everyone take a look!" It was so beautiful that she wanted others to see it.
"Don't worry, I'll find out what's going on." Xi Yang assured her.
After a pause, Jiang Qingzhen suddenly had a bold guess in her mind, and she couldn't help but ask the uneasiness in her heart: "Do you think, is it possible that the painting was injured in Lu Yingdong?" β
After calming down, her brain became more flexible, and after careful consideration, she thought to herself, who else could decide the fate of that painting except the behind-the-scenes owner of the gallery?
Lu Yingdong ...... It's not impossible...... But he wouldn't hide it. β
"Maybe he didn't like the painting." Jiang Qingluo recalled Lu Yingdong's attitude when he saw him just now, and speculated.
