Chapter 32 Let's go to the exhibition together
"President, this is an invitation from the art museum, inviting you and the young lady to participate in the exhibition of the art class for deaf and mute children." Secretary Chen respectfully put a simple invitation letter on Huo Li's desk and asked him for instructions, if Huo Li said that she would not go, she needed to call the art museum back.
The most famous art museum in T city, businessmen, always have to be elegant when they make more money, the theme of this exhibition is to pay attention to deaf and mute children, and they can also do charity, and they will not miss this opportunity if they want to come to the famous class. The president of his own family usually doesn't like to join in this kind of excitement, although others don't go, he still has to dutifully set a flower basket or something to hold a scene. Secretary Chen pondered by himself and felt that he was really a good secretary who was a good secretary who ate the king's fortune and took care of the king's worries.
"Tell them I'll be there." "Yes, then I'll go and ... Ga? ”
Huo Li didn't raise his head, and ordered, "Inform my wife." ”
"Yes, yes, I'll go." Secretary Chen withdrew from the office and decided that he must go to the window to see if the sun was coming out of the west today.
"Mr. Huo, I heard that you are going to participate in the exhibition of the art museum?" Yang Meilian stepped on the sky and floated into Huo Li's office with a fragrant body.
"If you don't knock on the door next time, go to the logistics department and study hard." Huo Li looked at her coldly, his eyes swept contemptuously over her half-exposed little dress. He has asked Lang Jun to investigate the kidnapping of Cen Man, it was a good thing that Yang Meilian instigated his mother to do, and he had no way to disobey Mrs. Huo, but it didn't mean that he had no way to take Yang Meilian. used to look at Cen Man unpleasantly, and he felt that it was indispensable to associate with a woman like Yang Meilian, but now no matter how he looks at it, Cen Man is better, at least, Cen Man will not be bad behind his back.
"Do you want to take the young lady with you, the young lady can't speak, how can I accompany you out to socialize." I heard that a lot of media will also go this time, and the young lady will go out very little, in case you can't cope with such a scene, it will not be good to lose the face of you and the Huo Group. ”
"What do you mean..."
Yang Meilian said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "Since I am now a member of the Huo Group, I should think about the company for both public and private reasons, and I would like to recommend myself to attend this exhibition as your female companion." As she spoke, Lianbu moved to Huo Li's table, her delicate face still with obvious admiration and shyness.
However, Huo Li did not give her a positive answer.
Cen Man continued to paint in the room. Since Huo Li didn't allow her to go out, and she didn't allow her to contact others, she could only pass the time by painting. Xiaomo was still in the Huo family's mansion, Huo Li refused to take him back, Cen Man didn't dare to mention it, and subconsciously she didn't want Xiaomo to see the status quo between her and Huo Li. The only good thing is that she doesn't have to paint secretly anymore, Huo Li has made a room dedicated to her as a studio, and the paint and canvas are the best, probably afraid that she will be depressed if she is suffocated.
Huo Li went straight to Cen Man's studio when he got home, threw the invitation in front of her with a snap, and asked angrily: "Secretary Chen said that you asked the nanny to tell me that you don't want to go to the exhibition?" ”
Cen Man silently picked up the invitation card that fell on the ground, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the invitation was in the design she had set at the beginning. The cover of the pencil drawing is a group of innocent and lively children holding a red heart, and the red heart is the opening of the invitation, and when you open the red heart, you can see the invitation written by Huang Lao. Cen Man was very happy to see the results of the work he participated in.
Obviously looking happy, seeing that her eyes were about to smile, why did she refuse to attend? Huo Li thought so, so he asked.
Cen Man thought about it for a while, and then typed out on his mobile phone, "No, I didn't help anything, and I'm embarrassed to go." ”
Huo Li sneered: "Are you blaming me for not letting you go to work?" Cen Man shook his head, and sat back in front of the flower canvas to concentrate on painting.
"Since you don't appreciate it, then I won't be cheap, Yang Meilian is actively begging me to take her with me. With her status as the mayor's daughter, she is much better than you, and she won't embarrass me. ”
In the end, he still felt that her existence was embarrassing to him, Cen Man thought in his heart, Yang Meilian was willing to go, if it wasn't for the deaf and dumb children, she didn't want to show up, but she didn't expect that before she could see her hard work bear beautiful fruits, she was forced to quit halfway by Huo Li.
The conversation broke up unhappily and ended with Huo Li slamming the door and leaving.
In a blink of an eye, on the day of the exhibition, Huo Li deliberately called Yang Meilian in front of her, her tone was soft, and she specially instructed her to have enough indoor air conditioning in the venue, and bring a small coat so as not to catch a cold. Cen Man looked at him inexplicably, there are many painting exhibits in the art museum, the air temperature and humidity are controlled, there is no air conditioning that Huo Li thinks is too much, he deliberately flirted with Yang Meilian in front of her, it was really troublesome.
Cen Man's casual attitude made Huo Li feel that he was a clumsy clown, and he got into Lang Jun's car angrily, and received Yang Meilian with a stinky face, ignoring her flattery along the way.
Cen Man, who was left at home, planned to watch the live broadcast of the exhibition on the Internet, this idea was thought up by Ji Shenyan, the new media that met in the coffee shop was an online platform, and the keen sense of smell of the business elite was not in vain, Ji Shenyan said that most of the newspaper news could only come out the next day, although the advantage was that they could greet the content of the report in advance and intervene slightly, leaving only a positive impact, but for young people now, there is nothing more than the live webcast to make them intuitively feel the atmosphere of the scene, This is not just a charity party for the upper class, their original intention is to make more ordinary people come into contact with art, and attract more young people to pay attention to the group of deaf and mute children.
Cen Man admired Ji Shenyan's idea so much, she could work, but she couldn't strategize like him, these are the places where Ji Shenyan and Huo are one level higher than others.
Shaking her head, she didn't want to appear in front of her colleagues in the art museum with Huo Li, she betrayed Huang Lao's trust, and she failed Ji Shenyan, who worked hard together, she didn't have the face to see them. Thinking of Huo Li choosing Yang Meilian without hesitation after being rejected by her, she didn't know if Huo Li found out that Yang Meilian was the initiator of the "kidnapping case", but Huo Li's attitude really hurt her, first deliberately broke her mobile phone, and then with an attitude of charity, Cen Man couldn't help but feel sorry for herself, maybe she was this fate, no matter how desperately she wanted to get closer to her dreamland, she turned her head and was beaten back to her original shape by the waves of reality.
The doorbell downstairs rang suddenly, and I wondered when I heard the nanny come out and ask, "Hello Miss Bai, why are you here?" ”
Cen Man looked downstairs curiously, and saw Bai Annian standing at the door waving to her enthusiastically.
"Excuse me, do you have anything to do with me?"
Looking at the paper handed over by Cen Man, Bai Annian explained with a smile: "The time you disappeared, because I found out that I was the last to take you to the art museum, Huo Li almost didn't tear me." Seeing Cen Man, who was sitting opposite, suddenly showed an embarrassed and ashamed expression, Bai Annian laughed out loud: "Why are you so careless." ”
"Originally, I wanted to visit you after you came back, but Huo Li didn't allow it, thanks to me to provide clues to help, I didn't expect him to cross the river and demolish the bridge, and as soon as the matter was over, I didn't let me inquire about your news at all. I'm here to apologize to you, I'm sorry, I should have waited for you to enter the gallery before leaving, I'm sorry for causing you to suffer. ”
"It's none of your business, I'm causing you trouble."
Staring at Cen Man's expression tightly, Bai Annian asked her tentatively, "Do you know who your kidnapper is?" Cen Man was silent, this is a family ugly, Huo Li's mother teamed up with others to kidnap his wife, I don't know what Bai Annian's purpose is, Cen Man can't tell her the truth.
When Bai Annian saw her like this, he knew in his heart that Cen Man must have known, but there were words of suffering. Out of professional ethics, she wanted to come to "visit" the victim, and if Cen Man knew who the other party was, she wouldn't mind providing legal aid to the woman. Now that Cen Man is reluctant to say it, she doesn't have to force her.
Changing the subject, Bai Annian said to her: "The last time you went to the art museum, did you study art?" ”
Seeing that she no longer asked about the identity of the "kidnapper", Cen Man was grateful, and wrote embarrassedly: "I can't talk about research, I work there." ”
"Oh? Do you know that the art museum holds an exhibition of painting classes for deaf and mute children today? ”
Speaking of painting classes and exhibitions, Cen Man's face suddenly glowed with amazing brilliance, and she wrote with a brush to introduce the content of the exhibition to Bai Annian.
Bai Annian looked at Cen Man thoughtfully, after just two meetings, her impression of Cen Man stayed here as a timid and docile person like a deer, a little submissive, and looked very boring. It stands to reason that a person with a slightly strong personality like her is the most despised by a small family of Jasper, but at this time, Cen Man's gushing appearance is similar to that of her in memory. This is a woman with a very strong vitality, knowing what happened to her, when you sigh for her, she doesn't care, she tolerates the injustice of life to her, and still tries her best to love what she likes.
"I said, since you know this exhibition so well, why don't you go to the scene with me."
Bai Annian interrupted Cen Man's hard work, and Cen Man was stupid all of a sudden.
Cen Man listened to Bai Annian's words, bit his lip, and shook his head with difficulty.
"Come with me to the exhibition." Bai Annian said as if the weather was fine today, she leaned comfortably on the large sofa, and elegantly sipped the tea handed by the nanny. For a moment, Cen Man felt that he saw a female version of Huo Li, who didn't listen to others, and insisted on asking others to follow his pace.
