Chapter 35: Here He Comes
Standing in front of a glass cover, looking through the bright glass at the works placed inside, frowning slightly, the shadow in my mind felt very familiar, and I tried my best, but I couldn't find a breakthrough.
"Bauhinia?"
A soft murmur drew inquiries from the side.
"Dare to ask Miss, where did you see that this work is a bauhinia?"
A calm male voice broke my thoughts, and I looked sideways, stunned at the smiling man in front of me. I haven't seen him for a few years, and the youth in the past is all tough, and I can't help but smile on my face, and I smile at the people who come.
"Miss Night, you haven't answered my question yet."
Kuohai, who I haven't seen for many years, is clasping his hands and looking at me with a good face.
Seeing Kuohai like this, he chuckled and shook his head, and teased him.
"It is said that Bauhinia represents brotherly affection, but looking at its makers, it seems that what they want to express is love."
"Oh? Where does this come from? β
Raising his head from his thoughts, he looked at the man with a soft smile in front of him, Kuohai's face did not change, and he still hugged his hands.
"The bauhinia flower is beautiful, but the flower is petite, if you don't pay attention, how can you know that the blood-red crystal in front of you is the bauhinia flower."
"Then where do you see that the author wants to express love rather than Bauhinia itself?"
"It means that there are only four words, Mo Shanghua blooms? I guess no matter how stupid I am, I should know the next sentence, right? β
After hearing this, the soft smile on the man's face finally expanded.
"Hehe, you're smart, though."
"But Bauhinia, the most creative public relations company now, this person named Liao Ge, seems to be too blatant, right?"
Bauhinia, the most creative PR agency. They don't have the best in the world, but they have a creative solution that is beyond their familiarity, but the founder of Bauhinia, which is the current creative director, has a very strange thinking. The project that came to them to help with PR depended on whether their creative director was interested in the event, otherwise, it had nothing to do with money, and it didn't take all of them.
"Hehe, people who know say that Bauhinia only does the most interesting ideas, but only a few people know that their badge also belongs to Bauhinia. It's just that they designed it to be more expressive, but it has a little more meaning that others can't see through. β
A tacit understanding was explained in the eyes of the man in front of him, and both of them let out a knowing smile at the same time.
"Hello, the blatant words of your mouth!"
Kuohai stretched out his hand seriously, and the words in his tone made me slightly stunned.
This self-introduction is a bit abrupt, but it has his intention. It took him a long time to react in his triumphant smile, and let out a voice mocking himself.
"Don't tell me about NS's activities that night, you heard everything I said to Lan Sha while standing on the balcony."
"Otherwise, how could it be so amazing! Hehe. β
The two found a place in the exhibition hall and sat down, chatting farther and farther away like friends who had known each other for many years.
"You mean, you've just returned to China for a year, and you happened to meet me last time?"
The two sat in the courtyard behind the venue, and the spring in Shanghai added a bit of vigor to the flower stand overhead. Kuohai said that this is where they work, and in front of them is their exhibition hall. Such a famous art gallery exists quietly on such a quiet street corner.
"Yes, I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but all kinds of activities and retreats were arranged by the master, and then I thought that I already knew where you were anyway, and I originally planned to go to you after this exhibition, who would have thought that you would come to the door first."
chuckled and shook his head, he had never dared to expect such a reunion of the old people.
"By the way, is Liaoge your stage name, how did you choose such a retro name."
"It's not my old-fashioned master, it's obviously a master-level existence, but I don't like the bustling atmosphere of modern life, don't you see, that old man is cute and wears Tang costumes."
Kuohai's ridicule of his master is really ruthless, and I think the master-apprentice relationship between the two should be very good.
"By the way, have you had any contact with Yan Yan over the years, you are a young couple who are married in the belly, how about it, is the marriage on the agenda?"
When Kuohai heard me mention this, he touched his nose with embarrassment.
"It's all about what era you still turned out, but in the first two years I called her house countless times, trying to ask her for your contact information, but I don't know what's going on, her maids said she wasn't at home."
Ignoring the individual meanings in the Kuohai dialect, he continued to joke.
"I guess it's because of your bad tone, Yan Yan doesn't want to answer your phone."
"Come on, we can't find anyone in our family who is as gentle as me."
Walking from the gallery back to the hotel, the dim light stretched my lonely figure. I chatted with Kuohai for too long, so long that we forgot about it, in fact, we didn't know each other well.
Some people are like an island, just looking for a faint light on the lighthouse in the middle of the night, but it belongs to peace of mind. Perhaps only when a rope suddenly appears, we will realize that, in fact, there is still hope in life. As long as you're alive, as long as you're breathing, as long as you're still not giving up.
The next day, I went to the gallery with relevant information to find Kuohai, who knew that I was coming, and was already standing at the door waiting.
The smile that Kukumi saw that I had arrived had not yet appeared on his face, and his eyes sharply raised his head to look behind me, not knowing what he was looking at. Seeing that Kuohai didn't want to say much, the two walked into the garden behind the gallery without communicating.
"How could someone be following you?"
took the tea poured by Kuohai and frowned at Kuohai.
"How is it possible, I have never dealt with the media, and the interview is either Lansha or Su Yin for me, are you wrong?"
When Kuohai heard this, he shook his head with a serious expression.
"I don't look like the media, have you offended anyone recently, I only heard from my assistant after you left yesterday that the two bills that you had already finalized in your hands were temporarily changed by the other party, and someone is following you today. I guess you just arrived in Shanghai, and your whereabouts have been leaked. β
The analysis of the Tao at the head of the broad sea made my previous thoughts more and more incomprehensible. Kuohai is right, but only Lan Sha knows about the trip to Shanghai, and Lan Sha is cautious, not like him.
"This is also the reason why I am puzzled, although I don't know what you think of my plan, but please put aside your old knowledge and give me an answer."
"I've read the plan, put aside the old knowledge, just talk about the details of the plan, I'm happy to cooperate with you."
After Kuhai finished speaking without thinking, he directly opened the contract and signed his name. Kuohai's actions surprised me for a moment, and to be honest, I thought that in business, there would be some details that he would need to discuss.
"Hey, you don't even think about it! Signing the contract in such a hurry is not a nostalgia for the old love. β
"What's the matter, what I fancy is the direction of your charity activities, where do you get so many old feelings. Besides, my master agreed to this contract and plan before that, but he has other things to do, so I have full authority to act as my agent. β
After listening to Kuohai's explanation, I was relieved a lot, and I stretched out my hand to him with a relaxed face.
"Anyway, I still want to thank you, both public and private, for helping me solve a problem."
Seeing that I was so serious, Kuohai couldn't stand looking at me, and seeing that I still insisted on not putting it down, he had to reach out and shake it lightly with me.
"Honestly, when are you leaving, we haven't seen each other for six years, so we should get together anyway."
"There are probably two more days, and that's all I have to do for a few days." Kuohai nodded, as if wondering if he could find time to treat me to dinner.
"Don't think about it, if you don't worry, leave the matter to me, and I'll help you find out who made people follow you."
At present, my situation is really not optimistic, I hid the company from Shanghai on a business trip in the name of vacation, but Xiao Qing's behavior towards me before was not like hers.
Although I am not familiar with Xiao Qing, I remember that Lan Sha once said that Xiao Qing has always had a good work ability and has never made a mistake in Fengyang fashion. Such a shrewd and capable woman is not like someone who likes to play tricks.
"Well, call me if there's any news."
Walking out of the Liuchi Art Gallery, looking back at the gallery in this quiet alley deep in, the low-key but tasteful faΓ§ade really makes people dare not take a break. After stopping for a long time, I was carrying passengers, but I couldn't, so I had to walk back to the hotel.
I don't know if it's influenced by the Kuohai dialect, but I always feel that someone is following me behind me, standing in front of the glass of a clothing store pretending to tidy up my shoes, staring at the clean glass for a long time, and I don't find anything wrong. I got up and walked towards the zebra crossing, the screeching of the engine of the car from far and near, and the screams of the people around me intensified as the van was speeding towards me. His mind was completely blank in a moment, and he looked at the car that did not slow down, and was so frightened that he took a few steps back. Seeing that the car was getting closer and closer to me, a car suddenly came from the other side and crashed into the van.
The air currents of the collision made me regain consciousness, and I watched everything that happened in front of me for the rest of my life, and the driver of the van saw that someone called the police, and ran away with his head covered with blood. A business car stopped in front of me at the right time, and a man with a capable figure walked down, silent, and helped me directly into the car. The car started immediately and drove towards the outskirts of the city without hurrying.
I looked at the man sitting across from me, who hadn't looked at me since I got in the car, the well-cut suit set off his figure more and more slender, and the facial features that had not been smiling all day long portrayed the angular face more and more like an arbiter.
The mood gradually calmed down, and now that this man appeared in Shanghai, and he appeared in front of me so coincidentally, it is not difficult to explain that the car that suddenly crashed into the van just now should be to save me. It's just that he has never had a basic communication with me, and he will save me today, which is really beyond my expectations.
After all, at that moment, I thought I was dead.
