The night before, I was still struggling with how to spend the next day, but I was woken up by a phone call early in the morning.

Ji Lingbai still had some small emotions, but still picked up the phone, "Hey, hello." ”

"Hello, I'm sorry to disturb you so early. ”

The person on the other side spoke very politely, and although Ji Lingbai was a little unhappy, he still didn't get angry at people.

"So what's going on?"

"That's right, our little gentleman took a fancy to a painting on the Kyoto exchange meeting yesterday, and the contact person of that painting is you, our husband would like to ask if you can sell that painting to us, and we are willing to give a reasonable price. ”

Although I know that Xi Zimo's paintings are very popular, if Ji Lingbai is not mistaken, it should have been highly regarded after Xi Zimo became famous, so what is going on now.

There was no reply for a long time, and he was a little anxious, "Of course, if you want, we can meet and talk in detail." ”

Ji Lingbai agreed to the other party's proposal without thinking too much, "You should still be in Kyoto now, in this way, we are about twelve o'clock, do you think it's okay?"

"Yes, we will inform you later. ”

After hanging up the phone, Ji Lingbai found that Xi Zimo had woken up and was looking at himself.

"When you wake up, get up. ”

Xi Zimo sat up, "Who called you just now?"

Looking at Xi Zimo's stunned appearance, Ji Lingbai couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Actually, that person is looking for you. ”

"Looking for me?" Xi Zimo was a little confused, why did he find himself and hit Ji Lingbai.

Ji Lingbai didn't explain too much, "Get up quickly, I'll take you with me in a while." ”

Xi Zimo knew that Ji Lingbai didn't need to lie to himself about this kind of thing, so he got up obediently.

It was almost ten o'clock when the two of them went out, and the place that the man said was not far from here, but Ji Lingbai still took Xi Zimo around before looking for it.

It seems that they didn't expect Ji Lingbai to be so young, and they also brought someone who looked younger.

"Hello, I am the person who contacted you, my name is Ye Kai. ”

Ji Lingbai shook hands with the other party politely, "Hello, I'm Ji Lingbai." Let's sit down first. ”

"Who is this?" Ye Kai asked as he looked at Xi Zimo.

"This is the real author of that painting, Xi Zimo. ”

Ye Kai was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the author of "Hope" would be such a small teenager.

"That painting is good, you're amazing. Ye Kai said to Xi Zimo.

"It's overrated. Xi Zimo is still a little self-aware of his level.

Ye Kai shook his head, "You are too modest." My little husband has been suffering from depression for three or four years, and although he has been controlled by medication, the situation is still not very good. This time, I was forcibly brought by my husband to participate in the exchange meeting, and then I saw the "Hope". ”

"He likes it very much?" Xi Zimo was a little puzzled.

Ye Kai shook his head, "It's not just that I like it, Mr. Xiao said that he saw real hope in that painting." Although I don't understand what Mr. Xiao meant, Mr. Xiao started to change because of your painting. ”

Although what Ye Kai said was not very specific, Ji Lingbai still understood what he meant. "So, your husband wants to buy this painting back for this reason?"

Ye Kai nodded, "Our husband does have this meaning, in fact, this is also my main purpose today." ”

"Then have you asked your little gentleman?"

Ye Kai didn't understand why Ji Lingbai could ask like this, "What do you mean?"

"Today's business can continue to be discussed, but what to do with that painting, I suggest you still ask your little gentleman. ”

Ye Kai nodded and said that he would consider this issue. "Regarding the price of this painting, we are sincere, the price of similar paintings on the market is about 30,000 yuan, because of the particularity of this painting, our husband is willing to pay 80,000 yuan to buy this painting. ”

Ji Lingbai nodded, her business in the past few years has not been done in vain, and she still has a certain understanding of the current market.

"We agreed, and we can sign the contract at any time. That's what I suggested, don't forget. ”

Ye Kai repeatedly said that he wouldn't, and he would definitely ask his little gentleman when he went back.

"Did you bring the contract?"

Although Ye Kai was afraid that there would be some accidents before he came, he would not succeed, but everything was still ready.

"Brought. With that, Ye Kai took out the prepared contract from his bag. The above price is exactly the 80,000 that was just proposed.

I don't know why Ji Lingbai wanted to laugh a little inexplicably, "The price on this is the same as what you just said, if we don't agree, what will you do?"

Ye Kai frowned, "I will probably say that I didn't have a contract ready." But we're done, aren't we? I'm sure we're both very sincere. ”

Ji Lingbai signed his name with a smile, and then asked Xi Zimo next to him to sign his name as well, after all, Xi Zimo is the real author.

"Do you need us to do anything now?" Ji Lingbai was not very clear about these procedures, he had not prepared before because he felt that Xi Zimo did not need it now, and he had already booked Ouyang Zhiguo, but he didn't expect Xi Zimo to really give himself a surprise.

Ye Kai obviously didn't do this kind of thing for the first time, "I need one of you to go to the person in charge of the exhibition hall with me to talk about it." ”

Although he was talking about a person, Ji Lingbai and Xi Zimo finally had a few days together, and they were unwilling to be separated like this.

"Is it past now?"

"If it's convenient for you. "For Ye Kai, the sooner the better, although the contract has been signed, he is still in a hurry.

Ji Lingbai nodded, "Then let's go now." ”

The three of them went to the office where the person in charge of the exchange meeting was located, and after Ye Kai explained his intentions, the person in charge also politely asked Xi Zimo's opinion, and finally signed some documents for the two, which was officially completed.

Ye Kai was in a good mood holding the painting. "Thank you, and I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future. ”

Ji Lingbai smiled and nodded, "There will be." Remember the advice I gave you. ”

Although he had completed this task, there was no need to have too many intersections, but Ye Kai still agreed very seriously, saying that he would definitely ask Mr. Xiao's opinion.

After the three separated, Ji Lingbai took Xi Zimo to watch a movie.

Ye Kai returned to Mr.'s house with the painting, Mr. was having a meal, and when he saw Ye Kai walking in, and then seeing the painting in the other party's hand, he knew that the task of this trip had been completed.

"How's it going, got it?"

Ye Kai carefully put the painting on the sofa, "Yes, I directly quoted the price you said, and they didn't make a counteroffer, so they agreed directly." ”

Ye Mingcheng looked at Ye Kai, who hadn't left after finishing speaking, "Is there anything else?"

Ye Kai didn't know what to say, "Is Mr. Xiao here?"

Ye Mingcheng didn't know why Ye Kai asked like this, because Ye Jiaqian was a little depressed, he basically didn't communicate with people much, and some people asked about it a few years ago, but then he began to slowly stop mentioning this matter.

"Upstairs, do you have something to do with him?"

Ye Kai hesitated, "Actually, it's not my business, it's the seller of this painting who made a request." ”

"Request?" Ye Mingcheng was a little unhappy, he thought that this time he was okay, he didn't get an inch, but he didn't expect to start slapping his face now.

Hearing that Ye Mingcheng's tone was not very good, Ye Kai hurriedly explained: "Actually, it's not a request, it's just that they gave me a suggestion." ”

"You mean that's why you're looking for Jiaqian, so tell me what their advice is?"

Ye Kai felt that there was nothing that could not be said about this, "Just let me come back and ask Mr. Xiao when they signed the contract, what do you think of this transaction?"

"Ask Jia Qian's opinion?" Ye Mingcheng really didn't understand what the other party's suggestion meant.

Ye Kai didn't know why Ji Lingbai did this, so he simply repeated Ji Lingbai's request. And she reminded me several times as if she was afraid that I would forget. ”

"Then you can ask Jia Qian's meaning. "Anyway, the contract has already been signed, and Ye Mingcheng doesn't think that the other party can play any tricks with him.

Watching Ye Kai go upstairs, Ye Mingcheng picked up the documents he was reading before and continued his unfinished work.

It's just that Ye Mingcheng hasn't seen much yet, and he was startled by the sound of Ye Jiaqian running down the stairs.

"Jia Qian, slow down. Ye Mingcheng said, putting down the document in his hand.

Ye Jiaqian ran directly to Ye Mingcheng's side, "Uncle." ”

"What's wrong? What should I do if I run so fast and fall?" Because of depression, Ye Mingcheng has always been very concerned about Ye Jiaqian.

"It's so easy to fall. Ye Jiaqian looked a little embarrassed, bit his lip, and slowly said what he wanted to express.

"I heard Uncle Kai say, you bought that painting?"

Ye Mingcheng nodded, "Yes, don't you think it's not bad? I'll buy it for you to go home, do you like it or not?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Jiaqian's brows actually wrinkled slowly, "Did the other party really agree?"

"Of course, why not. It's not that you don't know when your uncle and I have ever done the thing of forced buying and selling. ”

"But......" Ye Jiaqian was still a little unacceptable. In his mind, the painting was different.

Ye Mingcheng obviously didn't understand what Ye Jiaqian meant, walked to the sofa, picked up the painting, removed the outer packaging, and then brought it to Ye Jiaqian.

"This is it, don't you like it?"

No matter how many times he saw it, Ye Jiaqian had a feeling that he couldn't speak, but he couldn't accept that this painting belonged to him like this.

Slowly taking the painting, Ye Jiaqian was silent for a while before he said to Ye Mingcheng: "Uncle, can I meet the author of this painting?"

Ye Mingcheng didn't expect Ye Jiaqian to make this request, but as long as it was what the other party wanted to do, he would definitely work hard to complete it.

"You ask Ye Kai, he is responsible for this matter. ”
