tease

It was the first time she went out to discuss business, Mr. Wen Ru was worried, so he assigned Zhan Cheng to her, and the old man asked Li Bin, who runs a special car, to be his driver for a few days.

The early flight of the plane at [-]:[-] in the morning, she got up at [-]:[-] in the morning.

Li Bin drove her and Zhan Cheng to the airport at 04:30.

When they arrived at the airport, Ye Ling and his party had already arrived and were heading towards the business VIP lounge.Ye Ling brought her secretary, driver, two assistants, a nanny and four bodyguards, and the scene was very eye-catching.

Wen Zhengyu pretended not to see Ye Ling who was surrounded by the crowd, and followed Zhan Cheng straight to the check-in counter to complete the check-in procedures.

The studio has just started and is not yet profitable. It needs a lot of money to operate. She is currently saving as much as she can, so the ticket she booked is an economy class ticket.As for Ye Ling, at most she would report Ye Ling a first-class fare, and the combined expenses of her group of bodyguards and nannies were not covered by the studio.

She didn't know if the money Ye Ling earned from accompanying her on business trips was enough to cover the expenses of Ye Ling and his group.

Wen Zhengyu got up early and didn't get enough sleep, so he thought he could catch up on sleep after getting on the plane.The seat in the economy class is cramped, and there is little room for the seat to be adjusted. There are three seats. Her seat was originally in the middle, and the seat was on the outside. The window seat was a young woman with a child.The child was about one or two years old, and was very naughty. He kept moving on his mother's body and refused to be quiet, and even stretched out his hands to pull her hair.

Zhan Cheng changed her seat, but the woman still had some complaints, saying, "How can you change seats casually on a plane? I don't sit next to a man, so change back."

Although Wen Zhengyu didn't have any impressions of creatures like children, she didn't like the children who pulled her hair, pulled her ears, and snatched her neck pillow. Zhan Cheng sat in the middle to block her, and she didn't bother to pay attention to that woman.

The child continued to rush towards her, chasing after her, but was stopped by Zhan Cheng, unable to grab her neck pillow and catch her hair, so he began to cry.

The woman said to Zhan Cheng again: "How can you bully a child like a big man."

Zhancheng called the flight attendant to negotiate, but the passenger in the back row couldn't see it, so he changed seats with her.

The child was not very quiet all the time, grunting and chirping and moving around, and the seat was small and narrow, making it very uncomfortable. She made it through the two and a half hour journey with sleepy eyes.

When the plane landed, she turned on the phone and received a text message from Ye Ling, telling her to wait for her at the arrival gate.

It took a lot of time for her and Zhancheng to pick up the checked luggage.

She came out from the exit and saw Ye Ling waiting for her standing at the exit.Wen Zhengyu was very surprised, looked around, and saw several bodyguards of Ye Ling scattered in inconspicuous places around.

Ye Ling glanced at Wen Zhengyu with a half-smile, and jokingly said, "Boss Wen thinks so much about the studio, isn't he treating himself too harshly?"

Wen Zhengyu glanced at Ye Ling, shrugged, and said nothing.

Ye Ling smiled, made a gesture of invitation to the door, and walked out of the arrival hall with Wen Zhengyu.

Outside the arrival hall is a dedicated passage for buses and taxis. They walked for a while before arriving at the parking place.

Ye Ling's driver opened the door for them. When Wen Zhengyu got into the car, he glanced at the car model and license plate.Ye Ling's car is very low-key, but the license plate is a bit ostentatious. The letter Y is followed by four identical numbers. Fortunately, it is not as big as four 8s.

Wen Zhengyu didn't know much about Ye Ling's background, but Ye Ling was usually introverted and calm, but inadvertently, there would be a little nouveau riche faintly exuded on her body, and occasionally there was a vague aura of political family background.

She got up too early in the morning, didn't have a good rest on the plane, and didn't want to talk to Ye Ling after getting in the car, so she simply closed her eyes and rested her mind.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep. In a daze, she felt Ye Ling gently put a blanket on her body.She replied in a low voice: "Thank you", and fell asleep again.

It was past eleven o'clock when the car arrived at the hotel, and the old gentleman she asked to meet at 03:30 in the afternoon was not far from the hotel she had booked, and she could take a rest after lunch.

Wen Zhengyu set the alarm on his mobile phone and seized the time to catch up on sleep, and then he regained his energy.

Because Ye Ling took her paintings to hold an exhibition, and found someone to sell and buy them for hype, and even bid with Wen Li for "The Picture of Kunlun Ten Thousand Monsters", which was sold at a sky-high price of more than 600 million yuan, making Wen Zhengyu famous in the industry. It is very famous.It's just that the reputation that has been created is not very good.

The upright old gentleman she met in the afternoon kindly told her a few words, young man, the road is still long, you still have to walk steadily, don't waste your talent.

She chatted with the old gentleman about the paintings for most of the afternoon, and the old gentleman asked her about her understanding of the paintings, discussions on painting skills, and some questions about the operation of the studio. After chatting until five o'clock, the old lady made dinner, and the old gentleman waved his hand, leaving her and Ye Ling to eat.After dinner, she played a game of Go with the old man.

The old gentleman knew the reason for her visit, and if the old gentleman didn't mention that he wanted to paint for her, she was too embarrassed to beg again. After the chess game, it was quite late, so she bid farewell to the old gentleman and the old lady.

The old gentleman asked Wen Zhengyu to wait a while, and he asked the old lady to take out his "Taishan Pine and Cypress Picture" for Wen Zhengyu to appreciate.

The corners of Ye Ling's mouth twitched.

Wen Zhengyu knew that the old man was testing her, and whether she could buy paintings from the old man depended on whether her appreciation level could satisfy the old man.

Fortunately, the old man, like her grandfather, is a painter of ink and wash landscape paintings. She has been fascinated by them since she was a child. Although the level of painting is not enough, she still has a bit of appreciation.It’s not enough to know how to appreciate, but also to know how to speak. Some things can be seen and can be said directly, some can’t be said, and some have to be said tactfully. This depends on the person.Otherwise, if you make the other party unhappy, you will have to be kicked out.This old gentleman belongs to the upright school, so she didn't take the tactful way, and said what she had to say.The level of the old man's painting is dozens of blocks away from hers. She dare not comment on it. She can only express what she can see, such as writing, conception, and setting, and then talk about the scene and imagination of the painting. Then ask the old gentleman to give pointers.

Some things she said were right, but the old man nodded, and some things were not in line with the old man, so the old man said they were wrong.If it's against hypocrisy, she's a buyer of paintings and then sells them anyway, and she doesn't collect them herself, so you have the final say, but seeing that the old man is not a stingy person, she wants to make an argument.Although the views are different, it cannot be said that she is wrong.

Although the old man is not mean, but his temper is not very good, and he is a little anxious when he argues.

Ye Ling tugged her sleeve quietly.

Wen Zhengyu glanced at Ye Ling, and said in his heart: "It's reasonable, it's useless to be angry." But she couldn't really be angry, so she hurriedly passed tea to the old man to calm him down.

The old man got angry and felt annoyed looking at her, so he said: "It's getting late", pointed at the painting, and said: "Take the painting and leave."

Wen Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, and said, "The price hasn't been negotiated yet."

The old man quoted a unit price to her, and gave her a ruler to measure by herself.

When Wen Zhengyu heard that the price was much lower than the old man's usual price, she did some silent calculations, and the old man actually gave her a [-]% discount.She thanked the old gentleman, and then still insisted on her own opinion, even if she gave her a [-]% discount, she would not change her opinion.

She measured the size, asked the old man for the account number, opened the laptop and transferred the money to the old man's account.

It was already eleven o'clock at night when she came out of the old man's house with the painting.

Ye Ling raised her head, looked at the gray night sky, and asked Wen Zhengyu a little bit brokenly: "Isn't that what you always talk about when you go to make appointments?"

Wen Zhengyu knew what Ye Ling wanted to say, and she said: "There are all kinds of painters. You can find some painters to buy paintings, just talk about money. Some painters have to look at the person. If you don't like someone, you can pay more money. Not for sale. There are also some painters who sell paintings depending on the situation. If they are short of money, they will sell their paintings, and if they are not short of money, they will not sell them.”

Ye Ling said: "I still like it..." She saw the corners of Wen Zhengyu's mouth slightly raised, and even her eyes were shining, and she remembered how she and the old man had a good conversation and almost quarreled, and said " Talking about money" swallowed back the three words.

When the two of them walked to the car parked in the parking space on the side of the road, they saw Zhan Cheng and Ye Ling's drivers, each of them squatting outside the car with a bowl of instant noodles and eating.

When Wen Zhengyu was having dinner, he sent a text message to Zhan Cheng, saying that he might not be able to come out until after dinner, but unexpectedly, he talked to the old man about this time.She felt very sorry, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhan, eat slowly, we will wait for you in the car first."

She and Ye Ling got into the car, and Ye Ling asked her, "Are you tired?"

Wen Zhengyu was quite sleepy in the morning, but he was not sleepy after a nap at noon. She was in good spirits at the moment. She smiled and shook her head, thinking that this upright old man was quite interesting, so she sent a text message to tell her grandfather that she had an appointment today. The painting went well, and the old man was a very nice person. She and the old man talked about a game of Go and talked about painting for a long time. The old man also painted ink and wash landscapes.

She reported today's itinerary to Mr. Wen Ru, and asked Mr. Wen Ru to go to sleep.

Mr. Wen Ru asked her: "Ye Ling stayed with you for a day?"

Wen Zhengyu replied "Yes", and turned his head to look at Ye Ling who was a little tortured, but saw Ye Ling leaning a little tiredly against the car door, looking at her with his chin resting on one hand, a little listless.

She asked Ye Ling: "Boss Ye, are you okay?"

Ye Ling hummed softly and said, "It's okay."

After Zhan Cheng and the driver finished eating the instant noodles, they patted the smell on their bodies before getting into the car.Ye Ling's driver drove, and Zhan Cheng sat in the passenger seat.

Ye Ling closed her eyes to rest after the car started.

Wen Zhengyu looked at the night scene outside the car window.

In fact, there is no night scene. The air in this city is not very good. It is gray everywhere, as if the whole city is shrouded in dust.

After a while, she felt a little heavy on her shoulders, and when she turned around, she found Ye Ling's body turned sideways, with her head resting on her shoulders.

Wen Zhengyu stretched out his fingers, trying to push Ye Ling's head away, not to let Ye Ling lean on him, but thinking that Ye Ling had been with her all day, he was exhausted, so he retracted his hand again.She had never been leaned on like this since she was a child, it was quite awkward.Wen Zhengyu wanted to move quietly to the side to give Ye Ling a distance, but as soon as she moved, Ye Ling hugged her arm, changed to a comfortable position, and rested his head on the crest of her neck.

Wen Zhengyu: "..."
