Chapter 225 Auction Paintings
The door of the office was knocked, Gu Aochen lowered his head and corrected the document in his hand, without raising his head, he said, "Come in."
"I've organized it for you." Xia Ziyuan entered the office with a lot of documents in her hand, and put the pile of documents on his desk.
Gu Aochen was a little surprised by her arrival, and asked, "Why did you come?"
"I don't have anything to do with Jingjing anymore, so I came to you."
"So, her affairs come first, and I come second?"
"Isn't it? You want to eat even Jingjing's vinegar? Huh?" Xia Ziyuan pulled a chair and sat beside him, looking at the busy things in his hands, she couldn't help wrinkling, and asked him: " What kind of weird project? This what..."
"It's just a project that the company is still testing." Gu Aochen closed the document, looked at Xia Ziyuan, stretched out his hand to stroke a strand of hair from her ear, and said to her: "The exam is over. In the future, where do you want to go to play?"
"Didn't you say that you are going to compete in the central court?"
Gu Aochen explained to her: "Considering that some contestants are high school students, the holidays are generally two weeks later than our university, so the preliminary round is set relatively late."
Xia Ziyuan thought for a while and said, "I...I want to go to the concert, can I?"
"Why are you suddenly interested in concerts?"
Xia Ziyuan pursed her lips and said, "I just don't know if I will have the chance to meet Nangong in the future. He wants to be a singer. So, I thought, if I go to enough concerts, maybe , I really have a chance to see him again."
Seeing her yearning look, Gu Aochen couldn't help but frowned, and said displeasedly, "It's because of Nangong Yi again?"
"I... If you mind, forget it."
"Go if you want." Gu Aochen reached out and rubbed Xia Ziyuan's head, and said, "I, Gu Aochen, still have a heart."
"That's good. I'm afraid you will be unhappy, but you may not meet Nangong."
"Then how about we set a rule and go to a concert once a month?"
Xia Ziyuan's eyes lit up, she was overjoyed and said, "Really?" What is this Gu Aochen doing?
"Of course, I, Gu Aochen, have always done what I say."
Although she didn't know what Gu Aochen was thinking, Xia Ziyuan happily agreed, bought a ticket, and waited for more than ten minutes at the scene, but what she saw was not the boy she expected, once, twice, three times... …each time.Although her hopes failed again and again, Xia Ziyuan still believed that one day, she would see that familiar figure again.
Nangong, will you come back to City A again?
The end of the semester is over, and this year's winter vacation is coming very fast. There is no homework during the winter vacation, which is something that many students dream of.Xia Ziyuan followed Gu Aochen to help out as an intern in the company. When she had time, she practiced and improved her hacking skills.
Ever since she heard that Lin Shunan's works were selling well, Xia Ziyuan also became very interested in what he said, and deliberately picked out a few masterpieces of Western painting masters to read. Of course, all she saw were photos, real famous paintings, They are still displayed in various museums or exhibition halls.
Lin Shunan's painting style is quite different from Li Yao's. Li Yao's favorite is the modern painting style, three-dimensional, two-dimensional, original painting and illustration, and she tends to be games or film and television works, and some people pay high prices to hire her Draw the cover for the movie.But Lin Shunan is different. Some of his works are abstract and some are realistic. They are more about the pursuit of form, the most natural beauty of the human body structure, rather than stunning clothes and decorations and effects.In short, one is about showing off skills, and the other is more about depth and breadth.
"I think it's good. How about we also buy a painting? There is an empty space on the other side of the corridor." Xia Ziyuan asked Gu Aochen, and Gu Aochen said nonchalantly, "Just as long as you like it."
Xia Ziyuan looked at the flyer in her hand, pushed him dissatisfied, and said, "Can you be more serious? This is going to be auctioned at the auction house, so it cannot be decided by default."
"When?"
"Let me see, tomorrow afternoon, at three o'clock in the afternoon, then... don't you have a meeting? Forget it, next time."
"I postponed the meeting." Gu Aochen put down his phone and said to Xia Ziyuan, "Go with you first."
Xia Ziyuan wasn't too surprised, but said, "I knew you were the best."
"I really can't do anything with you, how many pictures do I want to buy?"
"One, just one." Xia Ziyuan stretched out a finger and said to Gu Aochen.
At the auction, Gu Aochen, President of Gu Da, paid twice the price of the highest bidder to win one of the works. As soon as the price was announced, everyone was amazed. The crowd who had been whispering before became quiet now. , There was no sound, I could only watch helplessly as the hammer struck three times on the table, and then the host announced the owner.
"Are you satisfied now?"
"En." Xia Ziyuan's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she had just looked at it for a long time, and this picture was deeply rooted in her heart.
There are a total of ten works in this auction. Just by looking at each one, you can tell that the effort wasted is definitely not a star, not to mention the works from the School of Art of the Noble University, which everyone can trust.
Finally, when the auction was over, Xia Ziyuan and Gu Aochen were about to enter the back hall to trade, when they saw Li Yao come out of the room, when she saw Xia Ziyuan, she twitched the corner of her mouth and sneered triumphantly , walk away.
what happened?Xia Ziyuan didn't know why, she watched Li Yao leave in a daze, and then asked Gu Aochen: "Did Li Yao take pictures just now?"
"No." Gu Aochen replied.
Now is not the time to think about these things, Xia Ziyuan dragged him into the room, and saw Lin Shunan sitting on the chair, brewing a cup of tea for himself without delay, the whole room was full of tea fragrance overflowing.Xia Ziyuan sat down in front of him and said, "I have admired your name for a long time."
"Thank you." Lin Shunan's attitude was lukewarm, he didn't even look at Xia Ziyuan, and he didn't move extra.
Xia Ziyuan was stunned for a while, impatient to wait, and said, "Are you still doing business? The fifth lot we took, where is it?"
"Things..." Lin Shunan slowly raised his eyes to look at her, and said, "It has already been bought."
"What?" Xia Ziyuan frowned.
"This is my work. I have the right to distribute and buy and sell freely."
Xia Ziyuan was a little speechless, and said, "Since that's the case, what kind of auction are you going to participate in? Is it interesting?"
Lin Shunan looked at Xia Ziyuan, then at Gu Aochen, and said, "The purpose of participating in the auction is to estimate a reasonable price for my work."
Gu Aochen said: "I don't think it's not for sale, but not for us."
"Young Master Gu is extremely wise, so I don't think I need to explain it."
"I knew it would be like this." Gu Aochen said.
Xia Ziyuan looked at him in confusion, and asked, "Why?"
"Why? Because I, Mr. Lin, owed Li Yao a favor, so if she said no, I wouldn't sell it." Lin Shunan answered her unhurriedly.
"Unintelligible, whatever you want." Xia Ziyuan sneered.
"Let's pick it up, Lot No. 7363, transaction code [-]." Gu Aochen looked at the phone and said calmly.
"You!" Lin Shunan froze for a moment, even the movements of his hands became much slower, this time it was him who was surprised.
"No one stipulates that I can't take two pictures, right?"
"You're talking nonsense, Lot No. [-] is a..."
"It was a woman who made the bid, I know, I paid a little money for the extras." Gu Aochen shook the phone in his hand, and said to him, "Don't try to trick a businessman."
"Oh, so what, anyway, I have already given the best painting to Li Yao." Although the eighth lot is good, it is still much inferior to the fifth lot, and the time and energy spent are far inferior .Therefore, Lin Shunan forcibly calmed down.
Xia Ziyuan said disapprovingly: "So what? We are not artists, and we don't know how to appreciate paintings, so better or worse, in our opinion, there is no difference."
"You!" Lin Shunan was obviously irritated by Xia Ziyuan's words. I believe that as long as he is a painter, if you comment on his paintings in front of him, he will probably be angry.
"Okay, the money has been remitted to you, and the money will be paid and the delivery will be delivered." Xia Ziyuan said.Lin Shunan pointed to the box on the table not far away with an ugly expression, and said, "The one on the far right."
Xia Ziyuan stepped forward to open it, and sure enough, she held the painting in her arms happily, but her eyes couldn't leave it for a moment, as if she was attracted by something magical.The content depicted in the painting is very simple, it is a landscape painting.In the painting, there is a stranded sailing ship beside the reef beaten by the waves, which is dilapidated, but from the cracks and seaweed on the top, it is very tempting to imagine what it has experienced in the decayed cabin. , a pair of faint blue eyes protruded from the cracks in the cracked plank, as if there were some sojourning creatures hidden inside.
"I want this one." Xia Ziyuan said.
"Whatever you want, take it away quickly." Lin Shunan didn't seem to want to see that painting one more time. She looked like a mother who reluctantly abandoned her child, but it was true that these paintings were originally It is from his hand.
After leaving the room, Xia Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Gu Aochen, "How did you know Li Yao would come out like this?"
Gu Aochen stretched out his hand and scratched her little nose, and said: "Before buying something, you must first find out the source and the seller's relationship."
"Trouble." Xia Ziyuan complained and stuck out her tongue, "However, if Li Yao found out, she would definitely be pissed off?"
Gu Aochen said: "She doesn't know who the work was sold to."
"Do you use this routine often?"
"Fortunately, Luo Jiutian and I used it once when auctioning chips."
Xia Ziyuan hit him with a small fist when she heard the words, and said, "Okay, you have so many tricks. Tell me, how many things have you kept from me? You can't even lie to me, right?"
"I told you I wouldn't lie to you."
Xia Ziyuan snorted softly, pretended to be angry and said, "Who knows."
In this world, I told her that I would never lie to her. There are only three people. The first one is Nangong Yi, as her most loyal knight, who has left her now; the second one is Luo Zitong, whom she said , she has done both, but now, Luo Zitong's life or death is uncertain; the third one is Gu Aochen, who Xia Ziyuan is willing to choose to believe unconditionally.
