Cao Xuan returned the postcard in his hand to Sister Sasha.

"Happy birthday to your mother, Miss Kleisel, and whisper to you that in next month's final class quiz, maybe I'll have a bigger question on the figure of modern and contemporary Asian art, so why don't you go back and prepare?" This exam will be a big part of the semester grades, and I remember that you would like to apply for a full scholarship next year. ”

"Is it Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, or Watanabe Sentei, Hayashi Nakamasa, and Matsukata Kojiro today?" The schoolgirl asked tentatively.

"It depends on my mood, who can say for sure?" Cao Lao playfully winked at the students on the podium, "Maybe it's Cao Xuan, at my age, watching the children below write papers and praise me, reading is also a thing that can satisfy the old guy's vanity." ”

"Then I must have a lot to write about."

The female classmate with glasses found that Professor Cao Xuan was really a very approachable person.

Shy, she also had the audacity to make a joke, carefully inserted the postcard back into the frame, put it away in her school bag, and disappeared into the crowd outside the corridor.

"Wait a minute."

"This classmate?"

"Not for sale." She didn't look at the students who were guarding the door outside the corridor and wanted to spend money to collect Cao Lao's signature.

Sasha walked away with brisk steps.

Does the Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts have students who can draw lots to shake the courses taught by Cao Lao himself, and buy Cao Lao's autograph at the flea market that he opens every day.

As soon as she sells it, she can sell it for two or three hundred euros, and she can even talk about it again.

With the consumption habits of ordinary young Germans, excluding those wealthy Asian and North American students, it is really a lot to save 100 euros a month.

As soon as it changes hands, it's a lot of pocket money.

But Sasha won't sell it.

ON EBAY, AN AC MILAN NO. 22 PERIPHERAL JERSEY SIGNED BY KAKA ALSO COSTS AT LEAST 600 EUROS.

Professor Cao's personal blessings to her family are not measurable by money.

This birthday, her mother will be very happy.

"You've done a great job. The driver has parked the car outside, and it is time to go home at this point and finish your meal, just in time for you to take a nap. ”

Lao Yang carried the computer bag diagonally on his shoulder, handed Cao Lao his crutches, and supported his arm with his other hand.

"Over the past two years, I've become more and more fond of spending time with young children. After spending a long time with them, I feel that the whole person is younger, and I am not sleepy at all now, and I feel that my body is in good shape. ”

Cao Lao looked at the figure of a young student in his twenties walking by at the door, knocked on the tiles on the floor of the classroom with his cane, and said softly: "Sometimes I think that maybe I can really live for another ten years, maybe I can't say." ”

"Ten years is enough, your old body is very good. Now that medical technology is so advanced, you have to try to live another hundred years. Lao Yang smiled and complimented.

"People live for a hundred years, and ancient times are rare."

"The talented painter Bazier lived to be thirty years old in his lifetime. The length of my life is already more than three times his, and I should be content, and if I live for another hundred years, I will really become an old turtle. ”

Cao Lao smiled and was very calm about life and death.

He sighed: "I still want to ask God for a few more years to live, it's a little greedy, but I always think that if I can live another ten years, maybe I can ...... Alas. ”

The old man's words disappeared into a sigh again.

Obedient and listening.

Cao Lao just said.

Lao Yang can come out of the thousands of practitioners in the industry and become Mr. Cao Xuan's personal assistant, he will not just listen.

What can it be?

Is it enough to see that Chinese painting art has once again become the hottest new wave in the world's art world?

Can you give a ride and let one of the several disciples under his door take over his position in the art circle?

Still is...... If you live for another ten years, you will be able to cultivate a disciple who will be more popular with the old man?

Lao Yang helped Cao Lao to walk out, and his mind turned quickly.

The second half of this sentence, filled in with different answers, reveals a taste from it, but it is really very different.

Compared to those few great artist disciples who have been wandering all over the world.

He, the personal assistant on call 24 hours a day, is the person who spends the longest time with Mr. Cao on a daily basis.

Cao Xuan's apprentices, who are the fuel-efficient lamps?

In private, he has asked Lao Yang to probe the rumor, and even bribed him to win him over.

Nearby, that Liu Ye invited Lao Yang to take his sister out to sea to fish during the Spring Festival, and after returning to the port after fishing, he called the dock housekeeper over, with the leasing procedures of the boat, saying that he now loves to play with the rope sailing boat, this yacht has not been used for a few days after buying, and the cost of various maintenance sailors has not been less, which is really wasteful, it is better to put it here first.

When the teacher is at leisure, he can go to the sea to see the blue sky and white clouds, breathe in the fresh air with the humid sea breeze, and do a seaside recuperation to change his mood.

He, who is a disciple, is also considered to be filial piety.

The young master who grew up in the boat king's family really regards money as dung and doesn't treat money as money.

said that it was for Cao Lao, but it was just a scene.

Which centenarian still spends his days at sea playing yachts?

It's not for him to play with Lao Yang.

It's a 40-foot blue-water yacht from Riva, and it costs two or three million euros.

Even if he goes to a top gallery in the future, he will be the head agent of those who earn millions a year and make a lot of money from Franklin.

In addition to a limited number of people in the industry, they can get 20% or 30% of the contracts in the hands of small painters and now big painters.

Who wants to play with such a big toy? Who can afford it?

Lao Yang swallowed his saliva on the yacht for half a minute, and his saliva was about to run dry, so he sadly looked away from the yacht on the dock, turned his head and said with dignity that since it was a gift from the disciple to the teacher, he couldn't be the master, and he would bring the words to the old man Cao Xuan.

His old Yang is not a man with many styles, rich and noble, and he can't be lewd.

It's just that he has brains.

Know what you can take, and if you take something, you will cross the line.

People have a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it, so do you send a yacht to Lao Yang to play?

He's a!

It's not that he is Cao Lao's only personal assistant.

Going out to sea with a beautiful model girl to go fishing, this level of sugar-coated cannonballs, Lao Yang can pat his belly and ask for a few more after eating, this kind of trivial matter, Liu Gongzi doesn't care, Lao Yang doesn't care.

Cao Lao knows, and he doesn't care.

Eat and wipe clean, and take away other people's big yachts together, and the nature has changed.

With short hands, Lao Yang has become the person of the fourth apprentice Liu Ziming since then, and he still has to blow the "pillow wind" to him by Cao Lao's side from time to time?

It's a bit strange, but that's what it means.

It's really easy to get someone's yacht.

Among the collectors in the art circle, people respect Liu Ziming for being born in a wealthy family in Malaysia, and they will also call him "Liu Ye", "Liu Boss" and "Liu Gongzi" twice, and Cao Lao will also use these titles to make fun of his apprentices.

But Lao Yang knew it very well in his heart.

As long as he really dares to accept it today, then tomorrow, the other party will really become his "master".

Before accepting the gift, he could eat caviar and drink champagne with Cao Lao's disciples, and watch the bikini ladies shuttling on the deck chatting on an equal footing.

After accepting it.

He immediately marked the other party and became the other party's little brother.

Liu Ziming's family has a mountain of gold and silver, and every day there are ocean-going freighters with containers passing through the Strait of Malacca to earn money for his family, and the chimneys gushing out of the whistle are banknotes, which is a family that earns millions in minutes.

Mr. Liu himself is also heroic and ambitious, and he is obsessed with painting.

In "Farewell My Concubine", it has to be a character like Yuan Sigongzi.

In Lao Yang's heart, he doesn't mind being a little brother to such a young man, as long as the other party is willing to smash him out with a banknote, it can be a dog!

Pity...... This money is too hot to hold.

I can't see it, it's just a passing cloud.

He just wants to be Liu Ziming's dog, but it's not easy to be, and he can't be a few days.

Did he regard Tang Ning, Lin Tao and the others as vegetarians, or was Cao Lao really confused and unclear?

In order to play the yacht for a few days, I have no time to enjoy it, and I don't have to play the work, which is not worth it.

In the eyes of outsiders, all his identity value comes from work, not his uncle's ugly face.

Wait for Old Man Cao to sweep him out.

Look at it.

This Liu eldest son, who pats him on the shoulder every day and calls him a brother and a brother, and has a good relationship and wants to worship him, will not be willing to look at him more at all.

Worked as a personal assistant for a great artist.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a professional background, you don't know art, even if you are a little clumsy, you can practice more.

The only thing is that you can't be ignorant of human accidents.

In the same way, "Good Friday" on the Friday before Easter in April this year is a public holiday in Germany, and Mr. Cao also plans to give Lao Yang a short holiday.

Ms. Tang Ning invited him to go to Xiangjiang for a few days, but was also declined by Lao Yang.

People close to power will always mistakenly think that they have power, and this is a dangerous thing.

Lao Yang has always put his position very clearly, knowing that it is Cao Xuan who has power, and without Cao Lao, he is nothing.

That's where he's smartest.

The more he was like this, the more enthusiastic those disciples were to him.

Lao Yang sometimes feels that he is fucking in the 21st century, and he will actually experience the favor of the emperor who is surrounded by several princes and brothers in the palace fighting drama...... The feelings of the great eunuch.

The most black humor is that those disciples all think that he Lao Yang knows some of the teacher's tone.

But what a character Cao Lao is!

He attaches the most importance to the master-apprentice relationship, and even signs autographs for students in big classes, ignoring Lao Yang.

No matter what thoughts or ideas the old man has in his heart, will he discuss with his assistant and let him, an outsider, intervene?

He also deserves it?

On the issue of Mr. Cao Xuan's heir, Lao Yang, the "Li Lianying", is as curious as them.

Otherwise.

Lao Yang doesn't mind too much, the benefits of eating a certain family.

"By the way, do you need me to say hello to the admissions office about Gu Weijing's admission?"

Since he thought of this, Lao Yang asked casually.

"Say hello?"

Cao Xuan asked casually.

"There's a problem, and it's about admissions. The competition at the Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts has been fierce in the past two years, and it is not easy for many outstanding students to apply. In particular, the admissions office originally allocated very few places for international students from Southeast Asia, and I saw the information. In the past ten years, our department has recruited three Thai students and one Vietnamese student. ”

"I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to apply."

Unlike prestigious North American universities, German universities have admissions rules that limit the proportion of Asian students admitted to the university to no more than certain restrictions.

It is also an objective fact that the number of international students recruiting Southeast Asian students is small, and many times, the admissions office will not approve an application in one year.

Of course, objective facts are objective facts.

If it is said that Gu Weijing has trouble going to school, he will be limited by the admission policy and enrollment quota, and he will not be able to enter HFBK, it will be a big joke.

German universities are the most difficult to graduate from in the European Union, and the power of professors is also the largest in the entire European university community.

If you take a fancy to any child, you can basically say hello to the school, and you can ignore the grades and recruit them.

Don't worry about Cao Lao, Lao Yang sent an email to the admissions office by himself, even if the school has a brain draw this year, and is ready to PASS the application letters of all Southeast Asian students.

He can also forcibly give Gu Weijing a friend out of nothing, and add a quota to enter.

According to the habits of the past, Lao Yang has already done this kind of thing easily.

Not only do you do it, but you must also do it beautifully.

Prepare the admission letter of the university for this little brother Gu, check all the scholarship programs that should and should not be there, prepare all the application materials that should be reviewed and tested by the Immigration Bureau, and by the way, even study the suggested class schedule for which classes you should apply for in your freshman year.

Even the dormitory in Gu Wei University is guaranteed to be the most spacious and comfortable one.

Just waited for this child to come over and check in directly.

Lao Yang didn't think this kind of thing was cumbersome at all, but enjoyed it, he would definitely rack his brains to make this little brother Gu's college life comfortable and smooth.

and then let him know in a casual way that these things were all done by Lao Yang after he was busy running errands.

What is a favor? That's the human touch.

He has always cherished the opportunity to water the young saplings.

The affection of watering a small sapling is deeper than the hard work of pruning the branches and leaves of a towering tree in sweat for an afternoon.

The young man that Mr. Cao Xuan likes should not be far worse in the future.

Favors are cultivated slowly, and they will become connections in the future.

The fruit will not be smashed on the top of his head out of thin air.

Only when the saplings are still small grass leaves, watering, fertilizing, and repelling insects with care, can the big red and bright fruits on the fruit trees in the future have the share of jumping up and biting them.

Lao Yang Meizizi even wrote an email to the admissions office.

After answering a phone call from Downing, he changed his mind slightly.
