The palatial exhibition hall is lined with sketches of all sizes, horizontally and vertically.

There are many sketches, including simple and vicissitudes of peasant portraits, pitiful and charming women, and the majestic Great Wall......

The content is varied, and each one is very realistic, as if you are watching a black and white photography exhibition.

The middle gallery, where only 10 drawings are displayed, stands out and silently emphasizes their status.

"Lakes and Mountains", Author: Anonymous.

"The Station of Falling Leaves", author: Cai Yue, a master's student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, has won the gold medal of the Huai Provincial Art Cup for three consecutive years and the champion of the Chinese Painting Department of the 10th Central Academy of Fine Arts Art Competition.

"Stream", author: Peng Hao, master of Donghai Academy of Fine Arts, won the runner-up of the East China Sea Oil Painting Competition......"

“……”

Next to the display case of each painting, there is an introduction to the author.

Compared to others, the background and award titles are bright.

In the first sketch, the word "anonymous" is extremely glaring.

This is the first case of the Rising Cup Sketch Contest exhibition since its inception.

Even if he comes from an ordinary background and has no achievements to come up with, the painter will write his name.

In front of this painting, the number of onlookers was significantly larger.

"It's beautiful."

"It's a gem lake, right? It's stunning and captures the most beautiful picture of Gem Lake. ”

"The mood is absolutely amazing."

"Looking at more than 100 sketches and many masterpieces, only this one is the highest level and has far-reaching implications, completely depicting the beautiful scenery and graceful temperament of the gem lake."

"This one perfectly illustrates the artistry of the sketch."

"Who is the painter? It can't be a master who will compete with the juniors for the limelight, right? ”

"I want to buy it. Lao Luo, you can contact Mr. Wu later. ”

“……”

Some of the people who visit the exhibition are industry insiders or collectors.

Anyone who saw this "Lake and Mountain" was amazed, and several rich people had already made up their minds to buy it for a lot of money.

"Husband, have you found out the identity of the painter of "Lakes and Mountains"?"

In the crowd, a sexy beauty with burgundy wavy curly hair, dressed in a light blue cheongsam, graceful and luxurious, with an elegant temperament.

The man in the suit, who was thin and squinted, hurried back.

Zhang Yao runs a gallery that is at the top of the East China Sea.

After seeing this painting, she was eager to contact the painter, and secretly determined to snatch people at any cost.

"No, no! The work was bought by Fei Lao Baobao Lake for 50,000 yuan, and he was looking for a mysterious painter. He took matters into his own hands and made it participate in a sketch contest. ”

The man shook his head helplessly, and then added: "That mysterious painter, no more than thirty years old, is said to be mentally abnormal. ”

"Wouldn't it?!" Zhang Yao's little red lips opened slightly, and her eyes showed surprise, "Although the lines look a little immature and rough, this kind of lofty artistic conception cannot be portrayed by a young painter." ”

"This is what Assistant Fei said personally, they went to adjust the monitoring that day, but unfortunately they didn't find anyone."

Luo Hao smiled awkwardly, a little humble.

"Oh, it's not bad.

"At least it's certain that this person shouldn't have signed a contract with any gallery and is not well-known in the industry, otherwise, it would be impossible for such a painting to sell for only 50,000 yuan.

"As long as we find him, there is a good chance that we will sign him, this is a genius with master potential!"

Zhang Yao whispered to herself excitedly.

She has run the gallery for 8 years, has seen countless works, and has signed hundreds of painters.

Among them, there are more than 10 outstanding painters, who have been supported and cultivated, and a work can range from more than 100,000 yuan to more than 1 million yuan.

With a strong intuition, this mysterious painter has great potential.

"Yo, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Luo, what a coincidence, I guessed that you would definitely come to visit the exhibition."

"Mr. Zhang, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are more beautiful."

"Mr. Luo, I really envy you, I can marry such a fairy beauty...... But pay attention to moderation, it's all thin like this. ”

Seven or eight gallery owners approached with a smile, most of them glancing at Zhang Yao with squinting eyes, ignoring her husband Luo Hao.

In the entire East China Sea, who doesn't know that Luo Hao eats soft rice?

When Zhang Yao saw these peers, he didn't smile at his skin, and he didn't lose a penny in momentum.

Luo Hao smiled humbly, stood aside and responded, and did not fight back against a few frivolous people

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think of the level of this painting "Lakes and Mountains"?"

"This painting "Lakes and Mountains" is really wonderful, I don't know if I have signed a contract with the gallery."

"I'm going to sign this guy if I have a chance."

"Don't rob me."

"Hehe, Boss Wan, what you said is wrong, they are all mixed with this mouthful of food, and they will starve to death if they don't grab it!"

“……”

Among the hundreds of galleries in the East China Sea, many gallery owners have fallen in love with "Lakes and Mountains" at a glance and are ready to sign a contract.

Some of them, when they learned that they were going to compete with several medium-sized and large-scale galleries such as Zhang Yao, immediately dismissed their minds and set their sights on other works.

……

On the second floor of the exhibition hall.

A group of people looked underneath.

They are the internal judges of this competition, including 15 national first-class artists.

The highest status in the team are two simple old men.

"You don't need to discuss the first place, right?" Fei Qingya had a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Now on the official website, the number of votes for the lake and mountains has thrown off the second place by more than 10,000 votes." ”

"That being said, Lao Fei, according to past experience, painters who have participated in the Rise Cup and won the top ten will not be included in the top ten by default.

"The level of this painting is obviously not new, and the work is ...... you brought here"

Fan Xiangqing's brows tightened.

He and Fei Qingya are of the same status, and they are both master painters in the field of domestic art.

He is also the chief judge of this year's sketch competition.

Fei Qingya snorted coldly, "So what? ”

"The painter hides his head and tail, and he doesn't dare to expose his fame, I think it may be some old guys, deliberately come to make trouble, and list it as the first place, it's hard to guarantee that no one will gossip."

Fan Xiangqing emphasized.

"Hehe, then don't worry, I can guarantee that the work was painted by a young man under the age of thirty.

"Old Fan, it's you...... Someone greeted me before, and asked me to rank Cai Yue's work first, I don't know if anyone has ever said hello to you?

"Tsk, Cai Yue is the granddaughter of the master of Chinese painting Cai Qiushan, and many people in the industry know it."

Fei Qingya's words turned sharply, and he glanced at Fan Xiangqing with a slight playfulness.

"I ...... In this case, Cai Yue's works are withdrawn from the shortlist of the first place by default. This "Lakes and Mountains" also cannot be contested for the first place. ”

Fan Xiangqing was a little angry, and after hesitating, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Heh~ why? In short, my vote went to "Lakes and Mountains". If it doesn't come first, I'm afraid the public will question the vision of us, the judges, and the fairness of the competition. ”

Fei Qingya's attitude was firm.

The two old men fought for this.

"In that case, there will be a secret ballot. Everyone votes for their own vote, and everyone votes according to their conscience and aesthetics. ”

"Okay, that's a good idea!"

“……”

Night.

In a villa in the East China Sea, the vehicle is slowly parked in the garage.

Zhang Yao got out of the car with a heavy heart, returned to the living room, and angrily threw the bag on the sofa, "Wan Quanqing's old thing also likes "Lakes and Mountains".

"Why doesn't the old fox die...... Damn it. ”

Wan Quanqing is the owner of the East China Sea Gallery.

This bad old man is greedy and lustful.

In the early years, he failed to harass and persecute Zhang Yao, and instead began to target Zhang Yao and try to annex Zhang Yao's Four Seasons Gallery.

She is not afraid of competing with other galleries.

Only this old guy is very difficult to deal with, and he will inevitably make trouble.

The old guy couldn't sign the mysterious painter, and it was impossible for him to sit back and watch Zhang Yao get it.

At the beginning, he also poached seven or eight outstanding painters from the Four Seasons Gallery.

Luo Hao made tea next to him and poured tea for her, "Dissipate your anger, that old guy won't live for a few days, and it's not good if he is angry." ”

Zhang Yao was a little irritable, and she was even more upset when she saw this incompetent husband.

Don't look at him as humble and honest, in fact, he was caught and raped by her two years ago, and then he controlled his economic income, so he settled down and was forced to curry favor.

When Luo Hao was going to make her supper.

The phone vibrates.

The old man Zhang Congming sent a message.

Zhang Yao saw that it was a text message from her grandfather, and her face was a little better.

"I'll recommend you a talented painter." Zhang Congming sent a message.

"Genius painter?" Zhang Yao chuckled, what kind of genius is it worth recommending by grandpa?

It is estimated that it is the children of some relatives such as seven aunts and eight aunts, and it happens to be an art major, so they want to go to the relationship, right?

"Grandpa, this should be the first time you have recommended a painter to me, which relative's child? Just to save your face, as long as his level is not too bad, I will definitely sign him. ”

Zhang Yao responded quickly.

The next second, the photo was received.

A picture frame, the content of the painting, she is extremely familiar, after all, I only saw it today, and I still feel very deep when I look at it again, it is so beautiful.

Isn't this "Lakes and Mountains"? ’

Zhang Yao frowned slightly, and then said helplessly: "Grandpa...... You've been deceived, this is the 'Rise Cup' entry, and it is said that it has already been decided to be the first.

"What idiot, even if it's fake, it's not so ridiculous, right?"

"What entry?" Zhang Congming was puzzled, "This is "Smoke and Rain Scenery" painted by Brother Ye today, and there is also "Sunrise in Beishan". ”

He quickly sent another painting out.

About four or five seconds.

The phone rings rapidly.

"Grandpa, tell me quickly, that person's address and phone number!"

On the phone, Zhang Yao's tone was excited, and he couldn't wait to find Zhang Congming.

It's just a sleepy pillow!

She didn't expect to be worried that she couldn't find anyone.

When no one knew the identity of the painter, she got accurate information and took the initiative.

……

Taoyuan Village, late at night.

"Four Seasons Gallery owner Zhang Yao?"

Ye Xiaofan received an out-of-town number.

Zhang Congming's granddaughter.

"Yes, yes, I painted that painting in Gem Lake, not copying it! Who is Fei Qingya? I don't recognize...... I didn't suffer from any mental illness, but it was more urgent that day.

"Oh, nothing else?"

A chat.

The woman's voice was soft, at first with eagerness, then slowly calming down.

I just introduced my identity and asked about the works of Jewel Lake in detail.

Then I asked Ye Xiaofan about his personal situation, such as which university he graduated from, how many years he has studied painting, who he studied under him, and so on.

In the case of unknown intentions, where would Ye Xiaofan reveal too much of his privacy.

So they chatted for less than two minutes, and ended with a visit to the village in the next two days, and hung up the phone. ，

"Strange...... What is this man looking for me? ”

Ye Xiaofan was a little puzzled, but it was certain that it had something to do with painting.

He didn't think much about it, it didn't matter what her purpose was, anyway, it wasn't for him to ask for others.

In addition to Zhang Yao's call, Lei Yuran also called later.

"Brother Ye, your method is amazing, you are my benefactor, I finally realized what it is like to have four times in one night!"

He called excitedly, smoking and flattering after smoking.

"What the hell are you, Lei Yuran...... If you dare to bother me with this kind of thing in the future, Lao Tzu will abolish you! ”

Ye Xiaofan burst into flames and hung up the phone.

In his heart, he decisively canceled the plan to supply the Lei family with Hui Yuan Dan.

Before, Lei Zizhou obtained the Huiyuan Pill from Lei Yuran, and deeply felt the effect of the pill, so he came to Ye Xiaofan and prepared to buy it regularly.

Forget it now.

Originally, I wanted to give this kind of complete Hui Yuan Dan and recuperate his father and son, which can be regarded as a return for the peach.

This guy secretly eats it as an aphrodisiac, and he can't care about it.

What's more, playing with women has to report their achievements to themselves.

Selling other medicines is used to harm women? The mud can't hold up the wall!

On the other end of the phone, Lei Yuran completely withered, his back was cold, and he didn't even realize that the cigarette butt was about to burn his fingers, "Okay, it seems that ...... is in trouble."

"Lei Shao...... You're so brave. ”

The woman's voice was soft and weak.

……

Morning.

Two trucks carry cows into the village.

Many people watched.

"What's in it, cow?"

"Cows?! Xiaofan bought it, right? That's great. ”

"These days, a lot of outsiders come to buy milk from us, and if it weren't for their pity and the sickness of someone in the family, I wouldn't have given them the milk."

"The business is too good, I don't know if Xiaofan will increase the price."

"It's actually nothing to go up a little bit, Xiao Fan's milk is of high quality."

"Alas, I'm afraid that forty or fifty yuan a liter or even higher, we can't afford to drink ......"

“……”

The villagers were all watching, and their reactions were different.

Recently, the fame of milk has gradually spread, and the reputation is good, and more and more people are buying it.

There were people from other villages who came to order milk.

In addition to the villagers, some family members of the patients came to the village to buy milk from Ye Xiaofan in person.

As a result, demand is now in short supply.

Some of them negotiated with the villagers, and it was impossible to hastily suspend the supply to the villagers.

The families of the patients had to talk to the villagers themselves.

It was easy for everyone to agree, out of sympathy.

Lao Tian came with him on a motorcycle.

In the back seat is a teenager wearing a peaked cap, Tian Mu.

Ye Xiaofan walked with his father from a distance.

"Xiaofan, these cows were personally selected by me." Lao Tian deliberately emphasized, "If there is a problem, you can come to me at any time." ”

For the past two days, he has been running around for this matter.

The cows are carefully selected.

A total of 18 cows.

Seven of them are lactating.

The average price is about 10,000 yuan.

"Whew~" Fengya walked around the truck, a little excited, so many cows, won't you drink milk casually in the future.

Ye Xiaofan spread out his spiritual sense, and he could easily judge the state of these cows, and they were indeed very healthy.

"Okay, let's send the cows to the North Mountain Cowshed first, and the area of the cowshed was expanded two days ago."

The wagons carried the cattle and headed to Kitayama.

On the way, Ye Xiaofan asked about Tian Mu's situation, "You look very good." ”

"Well, milk is so effective, I don't think it's okay if I don't go to chemotherapy!" Tian Mu was very grateful.

"Hahaha, even if it works, it can't replace chemotherapy, in short, you have to obediently listen to the doctor's arrangement."
