Chapter 18: Selling Paintings
The University of Arts is one of the top art schools in China, and there are often some people who love art to tap the potential stocks, and the officials of the University of Arts are also willing to match them, and it is also the honor of the school for its students to make a name for themselves in the art world.
Today, here comes a lady, who is the patron of the studio building of the University of Fine Arts.
The dean and the head of the oil painting department received them personally, and the works of the entire oil painting department students were in this building.
"Auntie, will we have dinner together later? Last time my mom said she was going to eat with you, and I was looking forward to it for a long time. Li Ruoxi obediently climbed the arm of the lady beside him, and his words were slightly flattering, and he respected him more.
"Okay, you call your mom, and we'll go to dinner together." Madame nodded and proposed, "Yang Yi is also idle today, so call him along." ”
When Li Ruoxi heard Yang Yi's name, his face was slightly red, he lowered his head, and hummed softly.
Mrs. didn't say more, Li Ruoxi was the best at observing words and feelings, and with the consent of the other party, she found an excuse to leave first and inform her mother and Yang Yi.
Thinking that Yang Yi came to pick her up yesterday and gave her gifts generously, as well as his extraordinary conversation and appearance conditions, he was polite and gentlemanly to her, and he didn't have the frivolous style of a rich child, Li Ruoxi couldn't help but be shy in his heart.
Mom said that the Yang family introduced to her is a family of poetry and etiquette, and as long as she is satisfied, she will talk about marriage with the Yang family when she graduates.
Originally, she was reluctant to go on a blind date, but the other party was Yang Yi, and she was still willing.
Picked up the mobile phone and called Yang Yi: "Hey, Brother Yang, Auntie said that we had dinner with my mother today......"
When Li Ruoxi walked away, Mrs. Yang said, "Dean, I came this time to trouble the dean for help." ”
The dean nodded: "Madam, please speak." ”
"To tell you the truth, my husband heard that there is a student in the third year of the oil painting department who is very talented, but because of his family difficulties, he specially invited me to meet her this time."
Mother Yang opened her mouth to explain her intentions, and the head of the department heard the voice and knew that it should be Meng Xiao, so she hurriedly led the way and invited Mother Yang to Meng Xiao's studio to have a look.
"Mr. Yang should be talking about Meng Xiao, this Meng Xiao is the first in every year, and he is also very talented in painting, but unfortunately his parents died unexpectedly when he entered the school in his freshman year, and he has a younger brother to raise at home.
The head of the department opened the door of Meng Xiao's studio, and on an oil painting in front of him, there was a shining golden yellow, and the ripe wheat was holding the fruit high, and the wheat was sharp. The sky is gray and blue, as if bordering between a sunny day and a haze, just waiting for the viewer to experience it for themselves.
This painting, facing the door of the studio, displays its unique spikes.
Looking closer, the texture between the brushstrokes made Mai Mang gentle, and the two contradictory pictures were handled by Meng Xiao in an unusual harmony.
Mother Yang nodded, it was a good painting.
The head of the department strongly recommended Meng Xiao, if this student was not a family problem, he would definitely be more accomplished than Li Ruoxi, if he could get the support of this lady, Meng Xiao's future would be limitless.
When Meng Xiao received the call and came in, he saw that the head of the department was incarnated as Wang Po, frantically selling his own melons, that is, himself.
"Meng Xiao come here." The head of the department saw Meng Xiao and called her over.
Meng Xiao walked in and greeted the dean's department head.
"This is Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Yang admires your paintings." The head of the department hinted that Meng Xiao received the information and knew it in his heart.
"Hello Mrs. Yang." Meng Xiao said hello.
Mrs. Yang nodded, and the assistant behind her gave her business card, and then asked a few questions about the art building, and asked the dean and the department chair to go out as well.
Only Meng Xiao and this Mrs. Yang were left in the studio, Meng Xiao looked at her, she was wearing a white brand-name suit, her hair was meticulously combed, and the jewelry accessories around her body also looked valuable, but she was not ostentatious and leaked money, and her eyebrows gave people a gentle and kind feeling.
Probably irrigated by love, she doesn't look old, Meng Xiao can't guess her approximate age.
Mrs. Yang looked at her painting very intently, it was a work created by Meng Xiao herself some time ago, inspired by the remote path back from the convenience store.
When the wheat was ripe, she and Yang Yi met, and later often held hands with each other and walked through large wheat fields.
"It's an interesting painting." Mrs. Yang praised.
"Thank you, ma'am, for liking." Meng Xiao thanked him, but it was a pity that on that road, the owner of the land did not plant wheat and planted fruit trees in the second year.
"...... here," Madame Yang said, touching her fingers to the depths of the wheat field, "can you add something else?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Meng Xiao knew that Mrs. Yang was interested in buying this painting.
In the depths of the painting was a row of houses, all of which have now been demolished.
"Originally, there was a path in this wheat field, but due to time constraints, it has not been drawn, so that the path can spread far away." Meng Xiao gestured on the painting and asked Mrs. Yang.
"I wonder what Madame wants to add?"
Mrs. Yang nodded and said, "In a few days, it will be my wedding anniversary with my husband, and I want to give it as a gift to my husband." ”
Meng Xiao: "I don't know if Mrs. has a photo of Mr. He?" If allowed, hopefully as much as possible. ”
Madame nodded, promised to let the assistant send the photo later, and promised to pay Meng Xiao 100,000 yuan.
For school students, 100,000 paintings is already a very high starting point, and Meng Xiao can't let go of this opportunity.
This was originally a work she created for her graduation exhibition to commemorate her encounter with Yang Yi.
But no matter how precious the memories are, they can't be more important than money in front of her eyes now.
Mrs. Yang was very generous and directly paid Meng Xiao 100,000 yuan.
Then Meng Xiao stayed in the studio day and night, and there were many photos sent by his wife, from the newlywed Yan'er to the present, it can be seen that the two of them have gone through a lot of hardships.
called Meng Xun and asked him to study hard, she had settled the debt, and the 100,000 yuan was just enough to repay his uncle.
The photos of Mrs. and Mr. were sandwiched on the drawing board along with the business card, and they circled around Meng Xiao, and the name and origin of Mrs. were written on the business card.
Yi Yongxian, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yiyang Group.
……
Yang's villa, Yang's mother's car came back from outside.
Dad Yang had been waiting at home for a long time, and Yang You was even more anxious pacing back and forth.
Today she came home from school to find out that her mother went to see the young lady, I don't know if my mother can still recognize her, what is her impression of her.
The car drove into the garage, and Mama Yang walked in.
"Mom." Yang You greeted her and helped her mother get her slippers.
"Youyou, didn't do your homework today? What to do here? "Yang's mother has a headache, her daughter is about to be in her third year of high school, but now she is still so lazy that she doesn't know how to do her homework and study when she gets home.
Mother Yang reprimanded: "Come up and do your homework." ”
Yang Youyou pouted, but their mother was the biggest, and her father didn't dare to help her, so he could only nod reluctantly and go upstairs.
In order to prevent Yang You's eavesdropping, Dad Yang and Mom Yang also went to the study to talk.
"How's that girl?" Dad Yang asked.
Mother Yang sat on the sofa and nodded: "Regardless of family background, he is indeed a very good child, there is no utilitarianism in his eyes, but the lofty dedication of some artists." Compared to Miss Li, this kid is much stronger. ”
"It seems that her son's changes in the past few years have something to do with her, and people in the company say that although Yi'er is a newcomer, the utilitarianism of a businessman is not heavy, but much more stable than children of the same age." Dad Yang nodded.
Dad Yang asked again: "What do you think of being a daughter-in-law?" ”
There are many kinds of good children, and Yang You is also a good child, but he is too playful, so he thinks that he can let her stay for a few more years before he can fall in love and get married, otherwise he will not be at ease.
Meng Xiao is a good child, but it doesn't mean that he is suitable to be the wife of a wealthy family.
This...... Mrs. Yang made a difficulty, she is a good person, but her family background is too bad.
"I see that Yi'er and Miss Li are getting closer these days, it's better to let him choose by himself, Meng Xiao, this girl doesn't know Yi'er's identity yet, and let's see how they get along in the future." Today I had dinner with Li Ruoxi's mother and daughter, she saw that Yang Yi also took good care of Li Ruoxi, maybe her son chose Li Ruoxi in the end.
"Maybe, the two have broken up." Mother Yang guessed: "Meng Xiao, I also gave 100,000 yuan for her to save the emergency, and see how she behaves, it's not too late to make a decision." ”
That's the only way, Dad Yang has a headache when he thinks of Yang Yi's mess.
