Chapter 66: Painting
"Two, No. 168 Desheng Street has arrived."
Time flew by, and with the driver's voice, the car stopped.
"Thank you.." Xia Yu took out his mobile phone and paid the bill with WeChat. At this time, Xia Ming had already stepped out of the car and picked up his luggage.
“... Su Yun Clubhouse. Looking up at a 6-story luxury building in front of him, Xia Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.
This is the legendary private clubhouse, right?
Occasionally, he sees this information on the Internet. To put it bluntly, it is a place for rich people to have private parties. As an ordinary person, I am afraid that I will only hear its name and not know it all my life.
"Wow, that's beautiful." Xia Yu walked over and also raised his head to look at the magnificent building in front of him.
Desheng Street is now a very complete commercial street, with large and small high-end buildings neatly arranged on both sides. Although the clubhouse in front of me is not high in comparison, it seems to stand out from the crowd.
The ancient architectural style feels like a bookish atmosphere, and people are unconsciously overwhelmed by the architectural charm left by their ancestors. This is much more comfortable than the high-rise buildings of reinforced concrete.
In a word, the high-end atmosphere is on the grade.
The parking space at the entrance is orderly parked with all kinds of luxury cars, and there are several sports cars that are basically difficult to see...
It's dusk and the whole street is bustling. Compared to other places, there are many fewer pedestrians coming in and out of the clubhouse. Basically, they are high-ranking officials and nobles wearing famous brands. I even saw a rich boy park and walk in with several followers.
There is no arrogance often said on the Internet, and some are just cautious and polite.
In fact, everyone knows that Mr. Su attaches great importance to character and cultivation. Being rich doesn't mean being brainless, and even if someone who comes here is usually a gentleman, he will behave like a gentleman.
"Sister Su said that someone picked us up at the door." Xia Yu put the phone in his bag and hugged Xia Ming's arm tightly. To be honest, she's really nervous right now.
It's like Cinderella stepping onto the dance floor and not knowing how to keep up with everyone's rhythm.
"Well, let's go.." Xia Ming didn't have any big feelings, in his opinion, wasn't it just a place for a group of people who were full of food and had nothing to do to find a place to brag to each other? ?
For him, who has led tens of thousands of soldiers in a life-and-death struggle, this is a small thing as a sesame mung bean.
He felt that his mentality had changed dramatically since he came back. is like a master who can break through the threshold of life and death, there are not many things that can really make him feel emotionally fluctuating.
"Hello sir, this is a private clubhouse. Please present your invitation letter or membership card. The two were immediately stopped at the door.
The doorman is already polite, if it weren't for the Su family's clubhouse, it would probably have been driven out. After all, the Su family has always paid attention to etiquette and treated everyone politely.
The master is like this, and the following nature does not dare to make a mistake.
To be honest, the man and woman in front of them looked like lost or curious people. Just look outside, and really dare to go inside.
Especially the man is still carrying two big bags, do you really think that this is an ordinary hotel where you can stay casually??
The doorman frowned slightly when he saw that they were not going to leave.
Sometimes it's just not polite, and some people really kick their noses in the face. If you give him face, he will come hard. It's really not easy to teach a lesson.
"May I ask you are Xia Yu, right? My sister was entertaining an important guest, so she asked me to come. ”
Just as he was about to scold him head-on, a faint female voice came from behind. It's a nice sound, but there's an illusion of coldness and rejection of people thousands of miles away.
She was taking her mobile phone and taking a closer look at Xia Yu at this time, and there would be no mistake, and nodded to her gently. glanced at Xia Ming again, and his eyes inadvertently showed a little disgust.
In her eyes, this man is eighty percent of Xia Yu's followers, right? But it's so rude to dress so casually. You must know that tidying up is also a sign of respect for the owner.
Originally, she wanted Xia Ming to wait outside the door, but after thinking about it, forget it.
This is my sister's guest, what does it matter to her?? She just came over to pick them up.
“...”
Xia Ming looked at the rich lady in front of her very generously, she was wearing a black women's business suit and a blue Korean tie.
Her jet-black hair was tied in a long ponytail and she wore black-rimmed glasses. With one hand in his pocket and a mobile phone in the other, he looks very chic and capable. Revealing a strong intellectual beauty...
HAD TO CALL HER STYLIST, IT WAS REALLY COMFORTABLE TO LOOK AT. not only highlights her characteristics, but also does not give people the feeling of pretending to be too forced.
However, in the short moment of eye contact with her just now, he could feel a trace of emotion from the other party.
But it's not a big deal, he was originally there to escort Xia Yu. As long as she hasn't been wronged.
To be honest, he now wears a T-shirt on top and jeans underneath, which does look very shivering compared to most people in suits and leather shoes, and he himself feels rude.
But can he be blamed for this? Where is the time to prepare?
And I don't know why, Xia Ming always feels that this young lady is a little familiar...
Looks like I've seen it somewhere..
Maybe it's advertising. Maybe it's a TV series?? Who knows?
"Well, Second Miss, you're here. Ah, come in, both of you. I didn't know that you were a distinguished guest invited by the eldest lady, and I was so offended. I'll take your bag, we'll take care of it for you. ”
The doorman saw her as if he had seen his own mother. You must know that she is the little master of Su Yao.
Everyone knows that the old man Su Liren only had this twin daughter in his later years, and he was very fond of it. But pampering does not mean doting, and he has been extremely strict with a pair of daughters since he was a child.
The youngest daughter, Su Yao, was sent to study abroad when she was a teenager, and is currently studying at Princeton University.
I returned to China because I was going to participate in a forum, but I rarely saw her.
The sister asked the younger sister to pick it up, which is enough to prove that this is a very important friend, and the doorman is naturally not a fool.
"Uh... This. ”
When Xia Ming handed him the bag casually, the doorman's calf was weak and he almost didn't stop.
I didn't expect this young man to hold such a heavy bag??
The key is still lack of preparation, but after all, he is also a person who has been a special police officer, and he quickly adjusted.
took a deep look at Xia Ming and walked in, and he didn't know what this kid was about.
"Come with me, two." Although Su Yao was very dissatisfied with Xia Ming's dress, she would not neglect her sister's guests. Looking at my sister's appearance, she seems to value Xia Yu's friend very much. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let her replace it because I couldn't spare time for the time being.
In fact, it is very difficult for people like them to have a close friend, and most of them are mixed with a lot of interests. It's not easy to live simply. So she can understand that her sister has such a friend.
Following the eldest lady through the clubhouse, Xia Ming secretly sighed that this rich man really lived in two worlds with them.
Inside, it is full of splendour, meeting places and entertainment facilities.
Although Su Yun Club is a private club of Su Liren, it is actually more of a commercial club serving Su Group. The business culture is very strong.
Building such a large building in a prime location, of course, it is impossible to serve the private sector entirely. At the very least, normal overhead and operations should be maintained.
However, similar hotel operations are very low-grade.
It is usually open to the public on a membership basis.
If you want to come in, you have to be a member, and you have to have a considerable friendship with the owner, or at least you have a head and face in society. There is no cap on tens of thousands to millions of members a year. The less money you spend, the more it shows that your identity is not simple.
Many people are proud to be able to enter the Su Clubhouse, which shows that you are not only a successful person but also a cultural person.
Nowadays, cultural people are very fashionable in high society, and the era of turtles throwing money has gradually passed, and they cannot be put on the stage at all.
Some people, even if they have a lot of money, can't enter this circle.
"My sister held an art exhibition today, and her teacher came just now, so I can't spare time to pick you up." Su Yao stood in the elevator and glanced at Xia Yu slightly apologetically.
Having received a good Chinese and Western education, she naturally does not put on a show of being an eldest lady, on the contrary, she has no interest in these vain things. As the so-called sending Buddha to the West, she felt that she had an obligation to help her sister explain to her friends.
"Hmm... Thank you. "Xia Yu has now gradually adapted to the environment here. Compared to the nervous mood when I first came in, it is much more stable now.
was mainly affected by Xia Ming, but he didn't expect his brother to be very relaxed. The point is still natural, as if he has been here N times.
"Ding..."
With a soft sound, the elevator door slowly opened.
What greeted Xia Ming's eyes was a fiery red carpet, and in front of it was a large exhibition hall. There were quite a few people inside, but it was quiet, and there were occasional whispers.
There are all kinds of paintings and calligraphy neatly hung on the wall, which looks very classy.
But he was soon attracted by an oil painting in front of him.
The painting is very hazy and beautiful, and the content of the painting looks like a subway station.
Against the backdrop of a young girl, the subway in front of her seemed to be slowly moving away, and an equally vague figure stood behind the door.
There is an indescribable sadness in the whole painting...
All in all, the drawing is really good, and it makes people think about it. Even a layman like Xia Ming nodded unconsciously.
