Chapter 56: Selling Paintings
"You, I've seen Tao Chuxue."
When Ji Chen was on the phone, Chen Yang was reclining on the sofa, smoking a cigarette and looking out the window. This posture has been going on for two days. There was nothing outside the window, no, the sun was shining outside the window, and the birdsong was noisy,......
"Hmm!" Chen Yang snorted lowly.
The sound of electricity on the phone is clearly visible.
"The day after tomorrow, I'll come back and have a meal together."
"Okay."
In the old place, Chen Yang pushed open the door familiarly, and Ji Chen was on the phone.
"......, okay, that's it, you decide the follow-up. If you can't make up your mind, call me again. ”
Ji Chen greeted Chen Yang with his eyes and quickly ended the call.
Chen Yang ripped off his collar, found the air conditioner, lowered the temperature of the air conditioner by two degrees, he seemed to feel hot, dragged away the chair under the air conditioner, sat under the air conditioner, and blew the cold wind.
Ji Chen glanced at it and seemed to disapprove a little, but he didn't say anything.
"Haven't taken care of the affairs of South Korea yet?" Chen Yang asked.
"Almost, all that's left is the finishing touches. This South Korean company is too turtle hair, meticulous in procedures, and nitpicky in doing things. Annoy them! ”
"This has always been the case for companies in South Korea. Korean companies are always better than Japanese companies. ”
"That's just as well."
……
"Tao Chuxue,......, did she say anything?"
After eating, the two moved to the sofa on the side. Leaning on the sofa, Chen Yang, with his legs crossed in the chair, glanced at Ji Chen. A look of worry flashed in Ji Chen's eyes.
"Nope. Didn't say anything! ”
Chen Yang rubbed the back of the sofa and said quietly.
"Later," Ji Chen: "Don't see her rarely!" ”
"Hmm!"
Chen Yang replied in a low voice, looking at a vase oil painting full of flowers hanging on the opposite wall, the painting is very beautiful, red, green, and green. However, Chen Yang just couldn't appreciate it. Still, Chinese painting is more charming.
I haven't been to art exhibitions for a long time, Tao Chuxue likes to go to art exhibitions, and she also likes to listen to operas, and she seems to like all elegant things. I wonder who accompanies her to the opera now? It was a terrible thing, and it made people want to sleep, but they couldn't sleep. Every time, he always dragged Ji Chen with him, and Ji Chen liked it very much,......
Chen Yang looked at Ji Chen and met Ji Chen's worried eyes......
"Don't worry, I won't fall into the same pit. I'm not stupid. Chen Yang chuckled.
Ji Chen pursed his lips and didn't speak.
You're not stupid, you just get soft-hearted sometimes. I'm afraid that she will pester you, and you will eventually fall for her.
……
"Hey! Did you draw? ”
"Hmm!"
"Really?"
"Hmm!"
"Oh!"
Xu Ling cautiously peeked at Yinuo, who sat expressionlessly in front of the easel, observing the landscape painting in front of him that only drew the outline, with a serious expression.
Xu Ling stuck out his tongue, glanced at the painting he had just started drawing, and then took a step to the side, tilting his head sideways, looking at Yinuo.
Yinuo was still staring at the painting, his hand constantly shuttling between the paints and paintings.
After a few minutes, Yinuo stopped, put away his things, and covered the canvas, Xu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but his gaze did not retract.
Yinuo glanced at Xu Ling, who looked at himself with a nervous look on his face, and did not explain immediately. Yinuo packed up his things in an orderly manner, thinking in his heart, how to tell Xu Ling about this, and always felt a little embarrassed.
Xu Ling followed behind Yinuo step by step.
Yinuo took the palette and went to the bathroom to rinse it and drain it. Take out a tissue and try to wipe it clean, walk to the small room and put it next to the easel. Out of the small room, Yinuo went to the kitchen, washed his hands, opened the refrigerator, and took out two bottles of milk, one bottle of pure milk and one bottle of sour milk.
"Do you drink?" Yinuo handed one of the bottles of sour milk to Xu Ling, who had been following behind him.
"Of course."
Xu Ling snatched the milk, but didn't drink it directly, the milk bottle was turned around by her in her hand, but her eyes kept staring at Yinuo and purring.
Yinuo glanced at Xu Ling and went to his room.
Xu Ling hurriedly followed.
Yinuo glanced at the small bed, Yueyue was still sleeping, and her little arm was sticking out of the thin blanket again. It was hot, and Yinuo didn't care about her.
Yinuo walked to the window and sat down, his hands were always raised and he was tired, and Yinuo moved his wrists.
Xu Ling hurriedly pulled over a small stool and sat down in front of Yinuo, staring at Yinuo and waiting for Yinuo to explain.
Yinuo glanced over, hey! I know that this guy is not easy to fool, if she doesn't understand, how can she let go.
"Ahem" Yinuo coughed twice in embarrassment.
"What are you staring at me?" Yinuo asked bravadoly.
"Painting?" Xu Ling asked with a strange elf smile.
"What's wrong with painting, I used to draw a lot."
"Was that before, and now?"
"Now I want to draw again!" Yinuo pretended to be nonchalant and said.
"Want to draw?!" Xu Ling moved over with a small bench, came to Yinuo, raised his head to look at Yinuo, and asked, "Why do you want to paint again?" ”
"Move aside, saliva is spraying on my face," Yinuo pushed away Xu Ling's curious face that came to him, "It's been a long time, haven't I been staying in the pit and not coming out, it's not a peach blossom source." ”
"Hey, hey! It's good to come out, it's good to come out. The face that was pushed to the side turned back, "How did you come up with the pit?" ”
Yinuo picked up Yueyue's toy on the windowsill, a small plastic yellow duck, and pinched it and screamed. Yueyue likes to play, and she keeps pinching it, as if there is really a little yellow duck being bullied by her to "rattle". Yinuo didn't pinch it, just played with it in his hand.
"It's nothing." Yinuo said softly, "All emotions have to give way to reality. ”
"Reality?" Xu Ling didn't understand.
"Zihe's mother came to make trouble again, and I thought it would be better to move. Here she can come when she wants, and make trouble when she wants. Su Zihe's words may not be listened to by her mother, besides, he still has to go to work, her mother is coming to make trouble, and he may not have time to persuade her mother. It's not always a problem. I think so! If I have money, I'll buy another house and move out. If we move away, she won't be able to trouble us. Isn't that the idea of drawing? ”
Xu Ling frowned, and then, she nodded again.
"It doesn't cost so much money to change houses, but it's very troublesome to sell the house and then buy it again. I thought that if I could make money by painting, I would paint and when I made some money, I would buy a smaller house and move away. Besides, there will be more places to use money in the future, and more money will be made. That's why I decided to paint. Yinuo explained.
"Oh!" Xu Ling thought for a while and said, "I have 100,000 yuan in my hand, and I can borrow 200,000 or 300,000 yuan from my parents." Where are you going to buy a house? Have you seen it? ”
Yinuo looked at Xu Ling gratefully and said, "Don't worry, I haven't seen it yet." Just draw, practice first. Contact Dean Zhang in two days. When the painting is sold and the money is in hand, I will buy it. Buy a smaller house first. Wait for Yueyue to be older and then change rooms. Housing prices are really expensive right now. Millions! If the painting doesn't sell well, we can only change the house. ”
"Hmm!" Xu Ling nodded and scolded, "That dead old woman, divorced, she is still engaged in moths." ”
Yinuo sighed in his heart, yes! How could I have such an ex-mother-in-law as her! There is no way to solve the problem, and it is best to stay away from her.
……
A finished painting is almost finished, and if it can be sold smoothly, my Yueyue's milk powder money will definitely be enough. Yueyue's school district housing may also be available in the near future!
"Dean Zhang, I'm Yinuo."
"Yinuo!" Dean Zhang was a little surprised, "Xia Yinuo?!" ”
"It's me, Xia Yinuo. Dean! Xia Yinuo felt extremely sorry to Dean Zhang. Dean Zhang is so good to himself. If you don't paint, you won't paint. The dean has persuaded himself several times!
"Yinuo! How is it going? The dean's voice was very concerned about himself.
Yinuo felt even more guilty in his heart: "It's good." Dean, how are you? Are you okay? ”
"Okay, okay!" The dean's hearty laughter rang out, "No wonder the magpie is calling today, it turns out that Yinuo called." Yinuo! How did you think of me, Dean? ”
"I often miss you, that is, I just feel guilty in my heart and embarrassed to call you."
Yinuo is telling the truth. Every time I wanted to make a phone call, I was afraid that I would be blamed by the dean and that I had failed the dean's expectations. Every time, Yinuo only dares to send text messages to greet each other during the New Year's holidays.
"You little girl, what's so embarrassing. Painting is also based on mood, and if you are in a bad mood, you can't draw. But! It's a shame that you don't paint. Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. Is there anything wrong with the phone call? The dean also comforted Yinuo.
"Dean, I recently painted a painting and I'm going to sell it." After saying this, Yinuo was a little uneasy. I don't know if the dean is still willing to see his paintings, and whether the paintings he painted can still be seen by the dean.
Unexpectedly, the dean was very happy to hear it, and his voice was a little louder: "This is really a happy event, I haven't seen your work for many years." If you want to sell it, at the beginning of next month, there will be an exhibition in the art museum, which is organized by the Artists Association. The Human Painting and Calligraphy Institute can also be used, the first few times, it was sold there. Wherever it is, it's definitely welcome. Now, bring it over first, and let me feast my eyes. ”
"The craftsmanship is rusty, I just hope that the dean will not dislike it."
"I have confidence in your paintings." The dean's affirmative words, Yinuo's uneasy heart seemed to muster up a courage.
I'll be able to do it. Not this time, but next time.
"Thank you Dean for your trust. In the next two days, I will send you the painting, and you will take care of it. ”
"Then I'll call the shots."
"Thank you, Dean."
"Thanks what! I'm so glad to hear that you've picked up the pen again! ……”
The dean's laughter ended the call.
Dean Zhang met through Mr. Li, and originally wanted to accept Yinuo as an apprentice, but after all, because of such and such things, he did not hold an apprenticeship banquet, and Yinuo could only be regarded as half of Dean Zhang's apprentice.
——
"Why are you so happy today? I also brought wine with me. ”
Huang Tingyu opened the door and saw Lao Zhang holding wine and standing at the door with a smile.
"Tartary buckwheat wine, the wine you like." Dean Zhang picked up the wine bottle and shook it in front of Lao Huang's eyes, and entered the house proudly.
Lao Huang followed behind Dean Zhang and asked curiously: "Aren't you usually reluctant to drink, today, how can you be willing to take it out?" What's the joy of?"
Dean Zhang walked to the table, put down the wine, turned around and said to his old friend Huang Tingyu very happily: "Of course there are happy things. My apprentice, Xia Yinuo, started painting again. You say Gao is not happy? ”
