The cold-faced chief loves the little maid

The art exhibition was held as scheduled, Du Xiaoxian was a little nervous, he had something on his mind, he didn't sleep well at night, but got up early in the morning, and picked out a slightly mature dress to put on.After going out to buy breakfast and coming back, Du Huayue had just woken up, so he specially transferred Hugh to go with her today to strengthen his courage.

Before nine o'clock, the two arrived at the gallery, thinking of going to help in advance, but in fact everything was ready and there was nothing to do.

Zhou Xuan asked them to sit in the office and drink tea. He likes the tea ceremony. There is a very exquisite tea sea, an old tree root carving, engraved with plum blossoms in full bloom, the details of the branches and leaves are subtle and clear, and even the veins of the leaves are clearly visible.Because it has been used for a long time, the old lacquered paddle is thick, warm and moist like jade, and feels very good. Even Du Xiaoxian, who does not understand tea ceremony, praised it endlessly: "This is so beautiful!"

"This is called Tea Sea. It was passed down from my ancestors. I only know that my grandfather used it to drink tea. Later, it was passed down to my father, and now it is mine." Zhou Xuan was quite proud: "A while ago, a collector wanted to I'm not willing to take it away with a lot of money, but as a family heirloom, how can I sell it so easily."

He Sen laughed: "From what you mean, the price must be unsatisfactory. If people give you more, I'm afraid you will be tempted."

"Unless he gives a sky-high price, it's impossible." Zhou Xuan said, "If my dad finds out, he will kill me. Our family is also considered an art family, and we also do business linked to art. In our bones, we are more or less Some are noble, but I'm a little more vulgar."

While talking, the water boiled, He Sen made the tea, shook it, and poured the water into the secret passage of the tea sea, Du Xiaoxian was a little surprised: "How do you pour it out?"

He Sen explained: "This is called washing tea. You can only drink the water after the second course."

Du Huayue said: "You city people are very particular, and you have to wash such good tea."

"Washing the tea is not because it is dirty. The first tea is too strong and the taste is not good, so I don't want it."

"In our place, tea is expensive, and you only need a little bit of tea to make a pot of tea. A little bit of tea taste is enough. Even if you want to drink strong tea, it's better here. You can pour it out if it's strong. Let my grandma see it. I'll say you're a prodigal!"

Everyone laughed.

Zhou Xuan poured tea into the small cups in front of everyone. The tea soup was golden yellow, shiny in color, and fragrant. Du Xiaoxian picked it up and was about to drink it, but seeing that He Sen was not in a hurry to drink it, he first put the cup under his nose and smelled it. , she took a sip slowly, and she was wondering, when she heard Du Huayue say: "Mr. He, you are so cautious when drinking tea, are you afraid that the taste is not right?"

Zhou Xuan laughed loudly: "He is smelling the fragrance, which is also a step in drinking tea. He likes to pretend to be elegant, so you don't need to learn from him."

"It's such a small cup, Ziliu went down without a taste." Du Huayue pushed the empty cup forward: "Boss Zhou, pour me another cup. Drink and savor the taste slowly."

Zhou Xuan poured him another cup, seeing that Du Xiaoxian's cup was empty, he poured it for her too.Du Xiaoxian listened to them talking and laughing, but he was a little absent-minded, and glanced at the clock on the wall from time to time.

The art exhibition started at 09:30, and it is now [-]:[-], and no one came. She was not sure, and stopped talking several times, and finally couldn't help but said: "Wait a minute, if no one comes Come on, just take off the painting, so as not to delay Boss Zhou's business."

"Xiaoxian," Zhou Xuan waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's still early. Besides, you're going to be a painter in the future, why don't you even have this confidence? Don't worry, someone will come before ten o'clock."

Even Du Huayue said to her: "This is just the beginning, why are you backing down? Like Boss Zhou said, show some confidence, anyway, I am optimistic about you."

Du Xiaoxian bowed her head and didn't speak. She had no idea and was afraid of hurting others, so she couldn't help but say that. In fact, she knew it was lack of confidence.

Seeing that Du Xiaoxian remained silent, He Sen joked, "Xiaoxian, Boss Zhou is still counting on your paintings to make money for him? But in the end, you destroyed your prestige first, and Boss Zhou's heart is probably going to be chilled!"

"No, no, I still have confidence in Xiaoxian," Zhou Xuan took a sip of tea, "I'm afraid it will be better than I expected, and it won't be enough to sell!"

Everyone laughed, and at this time the staff came in and said that there were people visiting the art exhibition.

Everyone cheered up and rushed out to have a look, but it was Zhou Xuan's acquaintance. The two went upstairs while talking, and He Sen pushed Du Xiaoxian, "You also go to say hello."

"I, I don't need it," Du Xiaoxian was really timid, he was pushed by He Sen, but he still hesitated.

He Sen said: "It's also good to give someone a glass of wine."

This is fine, so Du Xiaoxian went up, there was a wine tower at the sign-in area on the second floor, there was red wine in the glass, the color was shining, and it shone like amethyst under the light.

Du Xiaoxian is familiar with the job of serving tea and delivering water. This is what he used to do in Gu's house, so he sent a glass of wine over with a low eyebrow, but the man didn't care, thanked him and took it in his hand.

Du Xiaoxian was about to turn around to leave when Zhou Xuan stopped him: "Xiaoxian, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Chen, who is also engaged in painting. He is an expert in painting. You can learn more from him."

Before Du Xiaoxian could respond, he introduced to Chen Guohua: "This is today's protagonist, Ms. Du, a new painter with great potential. You will support me more in the future."

Chen Guohua was taken aback, he thought this little girl was just a staff member, so he didn't pay attention, didn't think she was Du Xiaoxian.Quickly stretch out your hand: "Hello, Miss Du."

This is what Du Xiaoxian was most afraid of, so he stretched out his hand in a panic: "Hello, Mr. Chen."

Chen Guohua almost looked at her blushing, and was even more surprised, this girl is so shy!Moreover, she is quiet, timid and timid, without the slightest temperament of an artist. Although the painting is a bit interesting, it is not a blockbuster.Zhou Xuan is willing to hold an art exhibition for her, which is a bit intriguing!

Although Zhou Xuan hadn't known Du Xiaoxian for a long time, he had also heard about her from He Sen, and knowing that she was uncomfortable in front of strangers, he made an excuse for her to go downstairs.

As soon as she left, Chen Guohua asked, "Zhou Xuan, where did you find this person? It doesn't look safe!"

Zhou Xuan said: "What do you look at people, painting is the key."

"The painting is a bit interesting, but the brushwork is just average," Chen Guohua commented: "However, she has her own characteristics in the use of color."

"Nowadays, paintings focus on the beauty of personality, and they can be sold for money if they have characteristics."

Chen Guohua didn't believe it: "You kid never fights uncertain battles. I can't tell if the sales of these paintings are good, but you dare to spend your money to do them for her? Who is she?"

"No one, a friend introduced it. I saw the painting and thought it was okay, so I made it. It's not as complicated as you think." Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Old Chen, you have to correct your paranoid problem. gone."

"Really?" Chen Guohua was still suspicious, Zhou Xuan is a good person, and he would not do anything that does not make money. He took a closer look at Du Xiaoxian just now, and found that she was quite beautiful, so he thought it might be Zhou Xuan's idea. The Pomeranian made a painting exhibition for her because she liked it, right?
People came one after another, Du Xiaoxian simply stood at the check-in counter, and handed a glass of wine when she saw people coming. Everyone thought she was just a handyman who served tea and water. From time to time, someone came to her for advice, asking where is the smoking area, Or where is the bathroom?Someone asked who is the artist?She blushed and couldn't answer. Seeing her disappointment, Du Huayue on the side was very anxious, and introduced to others directly: "This is Du Xiaoxian. Those paintings are all drawn by her."

As a result, others didn't quite believe it, looked at her and smiled, and left.

Du Huayue complained to her: "Xiaoxian, can you be more confident? No wonder others don't believe me when I say you are a painter."

"Brother Ayue, you know I'm timid." Du Xiaoxian whispered, turned around and saw Aunt Qin and her son coming, and rushed over to say hello: "Aunt Qin, you're really here."

Aunt Qin's son, Xiao Zhi, is a high school student. Seeing this lively scene, he said with a smile, "I never thought there would be a beautiful painter living next door to our house. It's amazing!"

Aunt Qin glanced at her son and said, "That's why I brought you here today. Xiaoxian is about the same age as you. Look at how amazing he is. He has an art exhibition."

Xiao Zhi said: "Mayor Wei is about your age, and she is also a girl, but everyone has become mayor, and you are still a housewife."

Aunt Qin couldn't laugh or cry, she cast a reproachful look at her son, "You'll be talkative. I'm so good at studying, I'm thankful."

Du Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Xiao Zhi is also very good, didn't he win the No.1 in the school's speech contest last time?"

"He's just a good talker, not down-to-earth at all." Aunt Qin stretched out her hand to look at the crowds of people in the exhibition hall, and said, "There are quite a lot of people, okay, you are busy, let's take a look by ourselves. "

Du Xiaoxian wanted to say it didn't matter, but in fact she was not busy at all, Zhou Xuan and He Sen were doing the introduction work, so she just did what she could and had a lot of free time.But Aunt Qin had already dragged Xiaozhi away, so she had to go back to the sign office to stay there. Seeing her come back, Du Huayue said, "It's fine for me to stay here alone. You can go around and listen to everyone's opinions. The painting is right for evaluation."

Du Xiaoxian felt that what he said was right. She was actually afraid of praise, but not of criticism. She would be at a loss when she was praised, but she would accept criticism very pertinently.

With her hands in her pockets, she walked silently through the crowd, and she heard someone say: "This painting is too naive, why are you holding an exhibition with such fanfare? I knew I wouldn't be here."

Someone nearby said: "You don't think it's good because your level of appreciation needs to be improved. I think it's good. Although it's not very realistic, the artistic conception is very good, especially the use of color is bold enough, which is very visually impactful."

Another person agreed: "I also feel the same way. Although the artist is unknown and his paintings are a bit exaggerated, he has his own style, the artistic conception is very good, and the price is not expensive. I have taken a fancy to a small one. Please help me palm palm eye."

A group of people left, and Du Xiaoxian stood there with a smile on his eyes and brows. That's great, someone is really willing to buy her paintings!
After a while, I heard Zhou Xuan's voice from the loudspeaker: "Today's first painting was sold at a price of 880! Congratulations to Mr. Li Chaoqun!"

Du Xiaoxian almost screamed, it's really a deal!She was ecstatic and wanted to tell Du Huayue, but when she turned around, she saw a familiar figure, and she felt as if someone had tapped her acupuncture points, and she couldn't move.
