"Zimo, do you know the Shanghai Art Exhibition in half a month?" The next morning, Ji Lingbai asked Xi Zimo this question.

Xi Zimo nodded, "Mo Lao told me, but he said that I was not recommended to go to this art exhibition, and said that he would take me to see other ones when he had the opportunity in the future." ”

Ji Lingbai's brows furrowed, this exhibition is organized by the Chinese Artists Association and the Shanghai Art Museum, and it can be regarded as relatively good. It should be a good learning opportunity for Xi Zimo, why wouldn't Mo Lao let Xi Zimo go?

Thinking of the two tickets he had deliberately grabbed, Ji Lingbai suddenly regretted that he hadn't communicated with them earlier.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Xi Zimo saw Ji Lingbai's absent-mindedness.

Ji Lingbai shook his head, "It's nothing, are you going to find Mo Lao today?"

Xi Zimo didn't know why Ji Lingbai asked this question, but he still replied obediently, "Mo Lao said that I have to concentrate on preparing for the exam these days, and relax by the way, so I will take a few days off." Sister, do you have something to do with Mo Lao?"

"Hmm. Ji Lingbai didn't mean to say much. She did need to ask Qing Mo Lao about something. After getting along in the past few years, Ji Lingbai can almost be sure that this Mo Lao is Xi Zimo's mentor in his previous life, although he met earlier in this life, but Ji Lingbai didn't understand why Mo Lao refused to accept Zimo, but he taught so seriously.

Of course, Ji Lingbai would not tell Xi Zimo about these things, because she would help Xi Zimo solve them one by one.

"Then let's go back and go to Mo Lao, it just so happens that I have some hands. Xi Zimo quickly caught Ji Lingbai's words.

Ji Lingbai knew that although the other party didn't draw deliberately because of the preparation for the exam, he still had some practice every day, saying that the hand was pure nonsense, but Ji Lingbai liked the other party's nonsense.

"Well, would you like to go home and get some utensils or something?"

Xi Zimo walked in front of Ji Lingbai, "No need, Mo Lao has everything there." As he spoke, he already regarded Mo Zhuxuan as a home-like existence.

The two soon arrived at Mozhuxuan.

"Zimo, why don't you rest at home for a few more days?" Mo Lao still looked kind when he looked at Xi Zimo.

Xi Zimo really regarded Mo Lao as a family member, and stepped forward to hold Mo Lao's arm, "It's not like I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you a little." ”

In fact, Xi Zimo usually doesn't do this, but Ji Lingbai said that he had something to find Mo Lao, and Xi Zimo couldn't help much, so he could only make Mo Lao's mood a little better.

Looking at such a mat Mo, Ji Lingbai suddenly felt a little strange. Xi Zimo in his previous life has always been cold, no matter how crazy the fans around him are, he doesn't say anything, it's like a pool of stagnant water.

However, looking at such a mat Mo, Ji Lingbai didn't hate it at all. Because this kind of temperament is what he is used to, this kind of mat ink is more attractive to him than the mat ink in his previous life.

Xi Zimo keenly noticed that Ji Lingbai didn't follow, thinking that the other party didn't like the way he looked. Slowly let go of the arm holding Mo Lao.

Ji Lingbai always knew that Xi Zimo was very sensitive, but he didn't expect it to be so indescribable, and he was a little distressed for a while.

He stepped forward and rubbed the other man's head, "What's wrong? I didn't bully you." After a while, Mo Lao is going to trouble me. ”

Xi Zimo relieved himself and didn't say anything. "Mo Lao, my sister said that there are some things to tell you, you talk about it first, I will go to the studio to take a look at my last painting, I just have a new idea. ”

Mo Lao had already been mentally prepared for this, and then touched the head of Xi Zimo, "You go over and draw first, and I'll show you later." ”

Then he turned around and nodded at Ji Lingbai, motioning for the other party to follow him for a while.

The two leaned together and watched Xi Zimo walk into the studio, and then slowly walked to the meeting room on the second floor.

Ji Lingbai was one step slower than Mo Lao, and when he entered the door, he closed the door of the room. Mo Lao watched Ji Lingbai's movements and didn't speak, and sat in his seat first.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"

Seeing that Mo Lao was so direct, Ji Lingbai didn't hide it. "I have tickets for the Shanghai Art Exhibition for two chapters, and I was going to bring Zimo over to play after a while, but I heard that you asked him not to participate in this exhibition, and I want to ask why. ”

Mo Lao sighed, "I'm also doing this for Zimo's good." ”

"I know you're doing it for Zimo's good, after all, this is the original intention of all of us, but I want to know why. Ji Lingbai's personality determines that she will pursue it to the end.

Things are not so difficult to understand, but Mo Lao accepted an apprentice in the early days and was later found to be a fake painting by Mo Lao, but firstly, the image of the other party is better, and secondly, in the early days, he met people with a bad identity and high status with the identity of Mo Lao, and someone was willing to escort him.

Mo Lao is also a character who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, and this matter choked in Mo Lao's heart. If that's all it takes, after that person was expelled from the division by Mo Lao, he formed his own faction and poached many of Mo Lao's beloved disciples, so that Mo Lao's years of hard work were burned.

Speaking of which, Ji Lingbai almost understood a rough idea. Chinese painting is also an industry that does not make money, especially when a painter is not yet famous. It costs a lot, but it often doesn't pay off.

However, painting is a hugely profitable business, especially if the other party indicates the authenticity of the painting as an apprentice of Mo Lao, few people can not be deceived. But in this way, the money is earned, but it is Mo Lao's reputation that is broken.

And those who follow each other probably can't resist the temptation of money.

Ji Lingbai frowned, "There's no way?"

This question is actually a question that Mo Lao has been thinking about, "In fact, it's not that there is no way, it's just a little difficult." And I'm waiting for Zimo's growth. “

Ji Lingbai's face changed instantly, "Do you want to use Zimo?"

Mo Lao shook his head slightly bitterly, "If I wanted to use Zimo, how could I tell you this." ”

After thinking about it for a while, he expressed his concerns, "Zimo is still young, and his mind is very positive, his talent is very high, and he will definitely be a very good painter in the future." I didn't want him to have a hard time on this road, which is why I didn't take him in the first place. ”

"I want Zimo to be exposed to that person one step later, so that he can have a better growth period. Grow up to the point where that person can't influence him. ”

Mo Lao's words came abruptly, because he knew that Ji Lingbai had already understood what he meant.

"The ...... of the Shanghai Art Exhibition"

Mo Lao nodded, "That's right, there are several of his works." With his character, he will definitely be there in person. ”

Ji Lingbai still didn't understand Mo Lao's concerns, "He doesn't know Zimo, so it doesn't matter much." ”

Mo Lao shook his head, "You don't understand, he is an extremely jealous person. And he often does things to suppress outstanding juniors, which is known to everyone in the circle, but his image is really good, so ...... You know. ”

Ji Lingbai, who has been in the shopping mall for many years, can naturally empathize, after all, there are not a few such people in the business circle. On the surface, he is kind-hearted and has done a lot of charitable things. But in fact, there is no less dirty thing to do in the dark.

"Then what's the name of that disciple of yours, I'll pay attention when I go back. I don't know if I offended the province later. "Ji Lingbai has always done things like this, and he never fights unprepared battles.

"I still say the same thing, you should know that the person's surname is Nan, and his single name is a Yu character. ”

"Nan Yu. Ji Lingbai found that he seemed to really know such a number one person. Moreover, the reason for knowing is not anything else, it is because that person was on the Capital Daily, so that it was super popular during that time.

Speaking of this, I have to say that a large-scale anti-counterfeiting activity in later generations, which wiped out many counterfeiting and counterfeiting gangs, including Nan Yu, who was already one of the important leaders of the Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Association at that time. may be precisely because of Nan Yu's identity, after this incident was exposed, a lot of the other party's black material was picked up by the keyboard warrior, and it occupied the hot search for a long time.

Therefore, if Mo Lao was talking about other people, Ji Lingbai might still need to investigate for a while. But if it's this person, it's better to follow Mo Lao's advice once.

"Okay, I see. After Ji Lingbai finished speaking, he walked out, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly glanced back at the old man who was a little depressed, "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, not that it will not be reported, the time has not come." ”

Mo Lao didn't seem to expect Ji Lingbai to say this, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "I hope so." ”

Ji Lingbai didn't explain much, this time he really left. However, he did not leave Mo Zhuxuan, but went to the studio where Xi Zimo was.

may know that Ji Lingbai is talking to Mo Lao about something, Xi Zimo is not in the mood to paint, and is even a little distracted.

When Ji Lingbai came in, what he saw was the other party's stunned appearance. Knowing what Xi Zimo was worried about, Ji Lingbai's heart warmed, and he stepped forward and rubbed Xi Zimo's hair, "It's not good to draw, what do you want?"

Xi Zimo looked back at Ji Lingbai, looking very cute when he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. Ji Lingbai got started again.

At this time, Mo Lao also walked in, "I see that you are not in the mood to paint today, let's leave early, waste my resources." ”

Although it was a remark to drive people, Xi Zimo still understood the old man's meaning. His face was a little red, "Mo Lao, I won't next time." ”

After all, the studio is a pure place, but I am distracted when I paint, which is too wrong.

Ji Lingbai stepped forward to block Xi Zimo, "Old Mo, why are you so serious? ”
