The black car was driving on the streets of Paris, and even though he had seen these scenes, Li Dabai still leaned on the window and looked out.

This time, I came to Paris for three days and ran two places, and Li Dabai didn't enjoy the scenery here.

After looking at it for a while, Li Dabai turned his head to look at Chen Li'an and asked, "Teacher Chen, can I go shopping by myself?" ”

"Yes." Chen Li'an opened his eyes, and then said to the driver in front of him: "Leon, can you please help find a Chinese student in Paris to be a guide?" ”

Leon is Ji Fa's exclusive driver, and he has been picking up Chen Li'an for the past two days, and when he heard Chen Li'an's words, he immediately said: "No problem, when will you need it?" ”

"Just today."

"Okay."

After Chen Li'an communicated with Leon, he said to Li Dabai: "I asked Leon to help find a Chinese student to be your guide, you can go play by yourself in the afternoon, don't forget to book a plane ticket." ”

"Really? And the guide? Li Dabai immediately said happily to Chen Li'an: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, you are so caring!" ”

After the driver sent Chen Li'an and Li Dabai to the villa, he immediately went to find international students.

Li Dabai was thinking about his savings, planning how he would spend them later, and he would definitely bring some gifts to his family when he went abroad.

It was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Li'an rested for a while, went to make a pot of tea, sat in the living room, and waited for Ji Fayo's reporter to come over, and there was an exclusive interview in the afternoon.

Li Dabai, who had already packed up and was ready to go out, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Teacher Chen, you have to be interviewed in the afternoon, won't it be good for me to go out to play?" ”

"Okay, then don't go out." Chen Li'an raised his eyelids and looked at Li Dabai and said.

Li Dabai's face suddenly collapsed, pulled Chen Li'an's arm, and looked at him with blinking, looking pitiful.

"Okay, let's go, don't lose the money when it's packaged, call me if you have something." Chen Li'an waved his hand angrily.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

After Li Dabai finished speaking, he ran out quickly, looking at her excited appearance, Chen Li'an couldn't help laughing, just a child.

Not long after Li Dabai went out, the reporter arrived.

At the end of the interview more than two hours later, Chen Li'an sent the reporter out of the door, also breathed a sigh of relief, and after drinking a cup of tea, he went to change clothes.

The cocktail party is a more formal social occasion, and if you dress too casually, it will be considered disrespectful, and after changing into formal clothes again, Chen Li'an tidied up the square scarf on his chest, looked at himself in the mirror, and felt that he might be quite suitable for playing a nobleman.

However, there are too many nobles in China, and the streets are full of them, whose ancestors are not nobles for generations.

The most important thing is that Chinese aristocrats don't wear suits either, and those who wear suits in China these years are either bosses or run businesses.

After Chen Li'an tidied up his image a little, he went out to pick up Liu Xiaoli.

It's still early, Chen Li'an set off so early because he was worried that Liu Xiaoli didn't bring a suitable dress, so he could buy a set while it was still early.

If Li Dabai knew, he would definitely secretly poke and say that Teacher Chen was too active! Something is wrong with you, I'm going to report it to the queen!

The feeling of Liu Xiaoli and Chen Li'an is a little complicated, and the initiative is a little bit, but it is not entirely because the parents of the people are good-looking, but mainly because they want to experience the happiness of being a godfather.

Anyway, they are all surnamed Chen, so it's not bad.

Of course, this is just a joke, it doesn't matter what the godfather is, it's just that people look good and can dance.

Just make friends, keep it simple! Don't have so many purposes!

The car soon came to the place where Liu Xiaoli was sent last time, and at this time Chen Li'an carefully looked at this apartment, which seemed to be an annex apartment of the university.

Chen Li'an rolled down the window and looked at it carefully, before taking out his mobile phone and dialing Liu Xiaoli.

It didn't take long for Liu Xiaoli to come out of the building next to the apartment, and Chen Li'an saw it and asked the driver to drive forward.

After the car stopped in front of Liu Xiaoli, Liu Xiaoli took the initiative to pull the door and get into the car, without giving Chen Li'an a chance to show his gentlemanly demeanor.

After Liu Xiaoli sat down and closed the car door, Chen Li'an looked at her gentle and moving appearance without powder, and said with a smile: "You are very beautiful today, you must have encountered something happy, right?" ”

Liu Xiaoli smiled, pulled her hair, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Guess." ”

"Hmm" Chen Li'an touched his chin and pretended to think for a while and said: "Either you solved the divorce matter, or because you went on a date with me at night, although the first one is more likely, but I prefer to believe that it is the second reason, so which one is it?" ”

Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an's slightly aggressive gaze, pursed her lips slightly, and felt that Chen Li'an was very cunning and attacking, so she went around and threw the problem to herself.

However, the experience of the big sister is not something that will be stopped in a few words, and she chuckled and said, "Trust your instincts." ”

Hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Li'an's mouth, my sister is really good at pulling, but since she didn't object to Chen Li'an's second guess, this is enough, and the key information has been obtained.

If you don't object, you will acquiesce to Chen Li'an's temptation, and if you have a good impression, it will not be logical to go further.

Soon the car came to the Champs-Élysées, in a luxury dress shop, Chen Li'an's eyes lit up when he looked at Liu Xiaoli, who had just changed into a dress.

Dignified and generous with the style of a mature woman, the slim dress sets off her graceful figure very well.

"It's so beautiful." Chen Li'an was sincerely admired.

Liu Xiaoli stood in front of the mirror and turned around, looked at Chen Li'an with a bright smile and said, "Really? ”

"Of course, I never lie about beauty." Chen Li'an walked up to Liu Xiaoli, looked into her eyes and said, "This is an artist's ethics. ”

Liu Xiaoli covered her mouth and chuckled, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she looked at Chen Li'an slightly sideways and said, "Are you artists so good at talking?" ”

"I don't know if other people are like this, but I'm always straightforward and quick to face the good."

Liu Xiaoli's smiling eyes were bent, and the corners of her mouth raised an obvious arc, which was very useful for Chen Li'an's praise.

After coming out of the dress shop, Chen Li'an sent Liu Xiaoli to the car and suddenly said, "You wait for me here, I forgot something." ”

After that, Chen Li'an gently closed the car door and disappeared into the crowd, Liu Xiaoli looked at the pedestrians coming and going through the car window and guessed that Chen Li'an had forgotten something.

More than ten minutes later, Chen Li'an came back empty-handed, and after sitting back in the car, Liu Xiaoli asked curiously, "What did you forget?" ”

Chen Li'an looked at Liu Xiaoli and smiled, raised the hand he was holding and opened it gently in front of her, and a sparkling diamond necklace hung down.

Looking at the necklace in front of her, Liu Xiaoli's eyes lit up a little, and she looked at Chen Li'an with some surprise.

"I think you're missing a necklace, would you like to try it?" Chen Li'an shook his palm slightly, and the diamond necklace also shook, and the crystal diamond exuded dazzling light.

Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an's serious appearance, pursed her lips and tended slightly before nodding slightly.

Chen Li'an's eyebrows raised slightly, and then he took the necklace close to Liu Xiaoli and said, "I'll help you put it on." ”

"Hmm" Liu Xiaoli's body leaned forward slightly, cooperating with Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an looked at Liu Xiaoli's slender swan neck, reached out to brush away the hair around her neck, and wrapped his hands around the back to put a necklace on Liu Xiaoli.

The two of them were so close that they could smell each other's bodies, and the distance between their cheeks was less than ten centimeters, and they seemed to be able to feel the temperature of each other's bodies between breaths.

Chen Li'an wore it very slowly, it seemed to be very clumsy, his fingers pinched the buckle of the necklace and always couldn't buckle it, and his fingertips inadvertently touched Liu Xiaoli's fair skin several times.

But even so, Liu Xiaoli didn't open her mouth to urge or dodge, as if she acquiesced to Chen Li'an's "clumsiness", and patiently waited for him to put the necklace on.

After feeling that Liu Xiaoli was not repulsed, Chen Li'an smiled slightly, quickly put on the necklace, and then sat back, looked at the necklace hanging on her collarbone and said, "It's just perfect, it's very suitable for you." ”

Liu Xiaoli raised her hand and touched it lightly on the diamond on her collarbone, feeling a little strange and contradictory in her heart, she came to divorce this time, and now she has not officially divorced, there is always an inexplicable sense of betrayal.

Still. It's exciting.

At the evening cocktail party, when Chen Li'an and Liu Xiaoli arrived, they immediately attracted a lot of attention, although there are differences between the aesthetics of the East and the West, but after the appearance reaches a certain level, it is possible to conquer the two aesthetics.

Liu Xiaoli held Chen Li'an's hand, looking at the various admiring and agreeing eyes at the reception, as if she had returned to the stage, and the hand holding Chen Li'an's arm was slightly tighter.

Tonight's cocktail party is full of famous artists or businessmen and politicians in Paris, and most of the topics discussed are related to art.

But the real center of the reception was tonight's host, Bernard Arnault, who invited Chen Li'an to the reception.

A super collector, the third largest auction house in the world, and the owner of the No. 1 auction house in France.

Many people may not know about collectors, but when it comes to LV, they should know that the real super-rich control almost half of the world's luxury brands.

But this is a very low-key and calm person, but he is also an unfathomable businessman, but he also really loves art, and the art collection is as many as a thousand pieces.

Chen Li'an's previous works were accepted by him, and he liked Chen Li'an's works very much, but it was not a simple collection, and the nature of a businessman could not be erased.

If the artwork is only hidden at home, it will lose its meaning and do not conform to his character, and Chen Li'an's works are still being exhibited everywhere in the hands of Ji Fa.

All this was instructed by Bernard Arnault, and at the right time, he would put Chen Li'an's works up for auction again and speculate the price through his own auction house.

Bernard Arnault admires Chen Li'an and feels that he is the most promising and worthy of investment among young artists, and Chen Li'an's gold medal at the Venice Art Biennale last year is a testament to his vision.

This is also the reason why he knew that Chen Li'an invited him to a cocktail party after coming to Paris.

If you want a work of art to be more famous and valuable, you need someone to stand up for him.

Bernard Arnault is happy to be this man, because he now owns most of Chen's artworks.

Even Chen Li'an's surrealist sculptures created this year have already been booked by him.

In addition to the oil paintings given away by Chen Li'an, as well as the installation art that cannot be removed in the capital, other works of art are in his hands.

At the reception, Bernard Arnault expressed his appreciation for Chen Li'an to many people.

and revealed that he intends to collect Chen Li'an's latest works, but unfortunately they are currently on display in the United States, and Chen Li'an has no idea of selling.

Normally, a young artist would be overjoyed by the recognition of a super-rich super-collector like Bernard Arnault.

But Chen Li'an will not, Bernard Arnault is very rich, his wealth is now a thousand times that of Chen Li'an, but it does not mean that it will always be like this.

Chen Li'an's head contains too much knowledge that does not belong to the present, and he does not have any awe for the so-called rich people, so he is very calm in the face of the rich people in the room.

may be precisely because of this calmness that these rich people look at it differently.

Although artists are inseparable from the pursuit of capital, who would like artists who will be in awe because of wealth.

The more artists who reject capital, the more they will be sought after by capital, otherwise how can the word art be withdrawn.

But Chen Li'an's calmness made Liu Xiaoli very uncalm, especially after she knew the identities of these people in the party.

That's the boss of the LV Group, the boss of luxury goods such as Dior and Givenchy, the super-rich with a fortune of tens of billions of dollars.

Liu Xiaoli thought of the bags that cost thousands of dollars or even tens of thousands of dollars each on the Champs-Élysées yesterday, and felt that everything that happened tonight was too dreamy.

After the reception ended, Liu Xiaoli's expression when she looked at Chen Li'an was different, just like a Cinderella suddenly broke into the nobleman's drinking party, only to find that it was a prince who was dancing with her.

"What's wrong with you? Feel like you're a little absent-minded and don't like this kind of occasion? Chen Li'an looked at Liu Xiaoli who was in a daze and said with a smile: "You are the same as my partner, she doesn't like this kind of occasion and thinks they are too cheesy." ”

Liu Xiaoli turned her head to look at Chen Li and paused for a while before saying, "What about you, do you like this kind of occasion?" ”

"It's okay, but if you participate more, you won't find it interesting." Chen Li'an ripped off his tie and said, "It's like wearing a tie for a long time and feeling bored." ”

Liu Xiaoli: "......"

I don't know what's going on, Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an's indifferent appearance, and didn't know what to say, so she asked after a while: "Is your work very valuable now?" ”

Chen Li'an touched his chin and said: "It should be, it depends on how much money will be sold in the next auction, and last year's auction only sold about two million US dollars." ”

Liu Xiaoli didn't know what to say in the quiet car, you know that a rich man is worth tens of billions of dollars, you may think that it doesn't matter, anyway, it has nothing to do with you.

But when you know your friends, when a piece of work can sell for millions of dollars, you can't be calm.

Because it's the person around you, the person you know, or the man who might be interesting to you.

Regardless of envy or shock, in short, it is difficult for Liu Xiaoli to calm down now.

The car fell into silence, Chen Li'an was a little drunk and closed his eyes and didn't speak, just the palm on the seat, but unconsciously touched Liu Xiaoli's little hand.

Liu Xiaoli glanced down, then turned her head to look at Chen Li'an, who was resting with her eyes closed, and her little hand touched Chen Li'an's fingers slightly.

Chen Li'an subconsciously hooked his fingers and slid them over Liu Xiaoli's palm.

There was a feeling of numbness, which made Liu Xiaoli's palm curl up and just hold Chen Li'an's fingers.

Chen Li'an, who had his eyes closed, showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and Liu Xiaoli, who pretended that nothing had happened, turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window, and a bright light appeared in her eyes.

The two people with different thoughts tacitly did not separate their hands that were held together, and a faint charm crept in......
