After I Died, I Became Popular Again

Chapter 111

Looking at Qi Linqing's expression, Zhong Chen didn't have too much doubt.

In any case, it is impossible for the master to know his identity in a previous life.

Zhong Chen thought that he was hiding very tightly.

The streets at night are cold and windy, very deserted.

On the way back from their walk, Qi Linqing walked into a bakery and bought him desserts for supper and tomorrow's breakfast.

Zhong Chen thought for a while and asked, "If we had a previous life, what kind of identity do you think we would have?"

Qi Linqing thought for a moment and replied: "Father and son."

Zhong Chen: "???"

A few days later, Fu Wen sent an invitation to Qi Linqing, inviting him to go to the ancient film and television base.

Qi Linqing agreed to go to the appointment, but the film and television base was built in a town in Huashi, and he hoped to bring Zhong Chen with him if he went on a business trip.

Moreover, Zhong Chen himself showed great interest in it.

Fu Wen: "Of course, it's our honor that Mr. Zhong can come to visit."

So when that day came, the two took a car to Huashi Township.

The highway in the early stage was flat, and Zhong Chen fell asleep leaning on Qi Linqing's shoulder in the back seat.

But when he was about to reach the township, the road suddenly bumped, and Zhong Chen was awakened by the bump.

"What's going on?" He asked sleepily, "An earthquake??"

The driver in front suppressed a smile.

Qi Linqing stroked the sleepy hairs on his forehead, and said, "It's almost here."

Passing through the winding winding mountain road, the front suddenly becomes clear.

Outside the Jiangnan town, which retains a large number of original ancient buildings, there is a large construction site of hundreds of hectares.

The two got out of the car with their luggage.

The staff sent by Fu Wen led them to the hotel.

This hotel is also newly opened, a five-star hotel with high-end equipment in all aspects.

It is said that even the mattress is a special version of the royal family flown in from Sweden.

In addition, it is actually a chain industry under the Qi Group.

The hotel is currently not open to the public and mainly entertains the crew of "Chuan Ge Xing".

The two settled down in the room.

Zhong Chen lay on the bed, turned on the computer and began to deal with official business.

Qi Linqing took out his drawing board and sat at the table to draw.

The atmosphere is quiet and cozy.

In the same space, they are doing their own things with each other.

When Zhong Chen was tired, he raised his head to look at the other party, and all the fatigue was swept away immediately.

He felt that his work efficiency had increased.

In the evening, Fu Wen personally cleaned them up.

A big table of sumptuous dinner was set up in the restaurant downstairs of the hotel.

Huashi is close to the lakes and seas of the south of the Yangtze River, and is rich in seafood.

Most of the dishes on the table are delicacies from mountains and seas, such as abalone, pippi shrimp, big lobster... and Dongting Lake's special fat crab.

It's not crab season. But the crab on the table is still pinching fat meat, obviously it takes a lot of effort to get it.

"Come here, Mr. Zhong, hurry up and eat, Brother Qi. I have been busy outside all day today, and now I have time to see you. I will punish myself first." Fu Wen said and drank the white wine in the glass.

He is still wearing slippers. Because it was winter and I was wearing white socks outside, it looked weird.

Qi Linqing substituted tea for wine and also drank a glass.

Zhong Chen saw the seafood on the table and knew that Qi Linqing was allergic to seafood, so he just put some stir-fried seasonal vegetables on his plate.

During the meeting, Fu Wen talked about the filming base and talked a lot.

The project is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

However, due to the schedule of the film's release and time constraints, Director Li had to start work ahead of time, and first borrowed a few houses that had already been built to start the interior shooting.

"You can take a look when they get off work in the evening. Director Li has invited almost half of the entertainment circle to live in this hotel." Fu Wen peeled a prawn and put it in his mouth.

Qi Linqing was thoughtful, and suddenly asked: "Is Qi Lele here?"

Fu Wen: "Yes, didn't your family use their connections to arrange a small supporting role for him."

"oh."

Qi Linqing knew about this because it was written in the original novel.

Qi Lele's career line developed rapidly in the later stage. With the help of Qi's family and her own ability, she successfully auditioned and got a male supporting role in "Sichuan Song Xing".

However, during filming, the crew had an accident, and the newly built film and television base house collapsed, crushing the leading actor Xia Wenbai.

Director Li had no choice but to re-select the male lead.

Qi Lele took this opportunity to rise to the top, and later successfully won the three international Best Actor Awards with this movie, achieving the pinnacle of success.

Xia Wenbai is also a top actor in China, young and handsome, with unlimited potential, he was once as famous as Fu Hanri.

In this accident, he crushed his arm and became disabled. Later, he chose to quit the entertainment circle.

Without this biggest competitor, Fu Hanri's career flourished even more.

And the culprit who caused this accident—the designer responsible for building the film and television base was punished by law.

Art director Fu Wen also had a miserable life, losing a lot of money, and his reputation in the industry plummeted.

In the final analysis, it is because they don't understand ancient architecture, but they still bite the bullet.

For those who do not know how to do things, negligence or errors are inevitable.

But architecture cannot tolerate error.

An error of one centimeter, or even millimeter, can cause misfortune.

In fact, since the Tang Dynasty, precautionary measures such as shock absorption and flood prevention have been done in place.

Qi Linqing thought that now that there is a house built by himself with the design drawings, it will definitely not collapse.

The tragedy in the original novel will not be staged.

After eating and drinking enough, Fu Wen leaned back in his chair and picked his teeth with a toothpick, "I'll show you the base tomorrow morning?"

Qi Linqing nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhong Chen raised his eyes and saw the crew pouring in not far away.

Fu Wen pursed his lips and said, "They're off work."

The male protagonist of "Sichuan Song Xing" is Xia Xia Wenbai, and the female protagonist is actress Sun Rong.

These two are giants in the circle, and together they are Wang Zha.

Behind them, apart from the old actors, there was also a young figure—Qi Lele.

He was carrying a box of lunch in his hand, and there seemed to be no assistant around him, looking a bit embarrassed.

Zhong Chen looked away, thinking that this guy is really haunted and can be seen everywhere.

I can meet you wherever you go,

However, as the center of the novel in this world, Qi Lele has the aura of the protagonist, so it is impossible to go offline casually.

Fu Wen said casually: "Director Li has a bad temper and doesn't allow newcomers to bring personal assistants into the set. He is a pampered young master, I'm afraid he will suffer..."

Qi Lele also noticed the two prominent figures in the restaurant.

A doubt arose in his mind - why are Qi Linqing and Zhong Chen here

Up front, Lotus Sun was still joking about cp, "It's not because Director Li arranged roles for them in the movie."

Qi Lele: "..."

here we go again.

Qi Linqing can easily take what he can get by giving everything.

Xia Wenbai: "Probably not. I haven't heard Director Li say that he meant it."

Qi Lele breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Qi Linqing seems to have a good relationship with art director Fu Wen after participating in "Heartbeat Signal".

Maybe they were just here for a tour, he told himself.

Qi Lele had a good night's sleep that day.

When he sat on the set reciting the script while eating breakfast the next morning, he saw Fu Wen leading Qi Linqing and Zhong Chen around.

Qi Lele felt more and more at ease.

Director Li has always pursued excellence and will not easily use newcomers.

No matter how powerful the Qi family relationship is, he will definitely pass without acting skills.

So Qi Lele was sure that they would never join the group.

For him, that's enough.

Qi Lele has high hopes for "Sichuan Ge Xing".

He also thought about turning over with this movie.

And the other side.

Qi Linqing made many comments to Fu Wen while visiting.

"This place is best to use solid wood of octopus."

"Be more careful in the measurement of the deviation of the beam frame. My visual inspection should have an error of two or three centimeters..."

Fu Wen followed him with a small notebook to record carefully, and ordered the field manager to bring some food and drinks from time to time.

The content of Qi Linqing's explanation, combined with the actual situation, is simple and profound.

It's always shallow on paper.

Although Fu Wen memorized the architectural drawings, he still encountered many difficulties in the actual construction.

Hearing Qi Linqing's explanation at this time, it seemed as if the clouds and fog had been lifted, and he felt suddenly enlightened.

"Thank you brother, can you stay here for a few more days?" Fu Wen asked.

The accompanying staff members were amazed when they saw this scene.

Isn't the handsome young man in front of him the Chinese painting genius who became popular on the Internet a while ago

Why does he seem to be dabbled in ancient architecture? !

Fu Wen, like Director Li, was notoriously bad-tempered in the crew, and he was always the only one who scolded others.

Most capable people are like this, and the staff are used to it.

But today, it was the first time they saw Fu Wen chasing after others to study hard.

Qi Linqing nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhong Chen also said that it doesn't matter.

He has now begun to transform, gradually retreating behind the scenes.

Work remotely from anywhere.

After they leave.

Several staff members looked at each other.

"Qi Linqing looks so powerful..."

"The last time I saw the crew list, he seems to be the specially hired art director of "Sichuan Song Xing"."

afternoon.

Qi Linqing followed Fu Wen to visit the crew for on-site shooting.

He is well-versed in ancient architecture, but Fu Wen is a well-deserved expert in practical art direction.

Qi Linqing also came this time with a learning attitude, and watched carefully from the sidelines.

Fu Wen reciprocated, and also taught him what he knew without any secrets.

Art directors come in and are often referred to as "production design" and are responsible for coordinating the overall style of work design for lighting, photography, special effects, costumes, props, and editing.

Qi Linqing's major in the Academy of Fine Arts is somewhat related to this, so he can fully understand what Fu Wen said.

Every perfect and exquisite shot is inseparable from the assistance of props, scenery, lighting and character costume design.

Art directors mostly do preparatory work.

But during shooting, the art director often needs to supervise and follow up on the scene.

What Fu Wen is doing now is such a thing, and he will analyze and explain it by the way.

This is a valuable practical lesson. Ordinary people will never learn so many industry rules in college.

Qi Linqing was like a sponge, continuously absorbing relevant knowledge from Fu Wen.

And Zhong Chen was sitting under the tree to enjoy the shade.

The field manager served him personally, running errands to buy milk tea and buying afternoon tea desserts and snacks.

Zhong Chen hugged the milk tea, sucking the pearls at the bottom of the cup.

Sun Rong held her face together: "He looks so cute drinking milk tea."

assistant:"… ?"

Qi Lele was a little confused.

He couldn't help calling the scene manager to ask: "What's the matter with Qi Linqing coming to the set?"

The venue official replied: "Mr. Qi is also our art director."

Qi Lele: "???"

After filming the scene, Director Li stepped forward to greet Qi Linqing in person.

He held each other's hands with both hands and said sincerely: "I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate next time. If you have an idea, I can introduce you to other directors who shoot costume dramas."

The young man in front of him is not only proficient in Chinese painting, but also dabbles in ancient architecture.

Simply a rare talent!

Qi Linqing nodded and said yes.

The two exchanged contact information with each other and had a good chat.

Director Li: "By the way, Mr. Qi, I have watched your recording of "Haha Base Camp" before, and the song "Flying Flower Order" you played on the show is very nice. May I ask you to help me record the song? As me An episode of this movie. Of course, we will discuss the remuneration separately... "

Qi Linqing was startled, this matter was somewhat beyond his expectation. But he still agreed.

In the current situation, it is impossible for him to sell his traditional Chinese paintings easily.

If you want to earn some extra money, you can only do it in other ways.

The other actors and staff in the crew were stunned when they saw this scene.

What kind of skills does Qi Linqing have? To make Director Li treat him so respectfully...

Qi Lele also had doubts about Qi Linqing's becoming an art director.

He admitted that the other party's painting skills were indeed extraordinary. But how old is Qi Linqing? Just entered university, I'm afraid I didn't learn much about relevant professional content, but I was able to become one of the behind-the-scenes personnel of Director Li's new blockbuster movie

Qi Lele felt acid in his heart.

Qi Lele comforted herself in her heart, since he got in through connections, maybe Qi Linqing did the same.

Qi Linqing is not interested in acting.

But since he has applied for film and television animation, it shows that he may have the ambition to dabble in behind-the-scenes creation.

Sun Rong and Xia Wenbai were also wondering why Qi Linqing was here.

And the answer was not officially revealed until evening.

According to an insider at the construction site, Qi Linqing is an ancient architectural designer specially hired by "Chuan Ge Xing"!

As soon as the news came out, everyone in the crew was stunned.

It's like you know a very powerful top player in the industry, and suddenly you are proficient in another professional field that you don't know.

It was like a dream.

Xia Wenbai exclaimed, "It's amazing."

Sun Rong shook her head and sighed, "I can't see that he still has this ability at such a young age."

The other crew members were a little shocked and couldn't get back to their senses for a long time.

What is it called

Obviously, you can rely on your face to make a living, but you still have to rely on your talent!

— really awe-inspiring.

Qi Lele's expression was quite wonderful.

He even fell into a trance.

Qi Lele finally realized that the distance between herself and Qi Linqing was not one star or two points.

It's an entire galaxy of vast expanse.

Perhaps throughout his life, he will not be able to catch up with others.

Qi Linqing and Zhong Chen stayed at the film and television base for a week before leaving.

During the period, Qi Linqing recorded the Xiao music accompaniment of "Flying Flower Order" by the way.

According to Director Li, it should be an important episode in the movie.

When the news spread to the Internet, it immediately triggered discussions among netizens.

[I really want to listen to the original song of "Flying Flower Order"]

[Speed to revisit the haha base camp]

[Thanks to Qi Linqing, he made me understand what it means to have more than one million dollars]

[Proficient in traditional Chinese painting and Xiao Le, I think Qi Linqing must have been an ancient person in his previous life]

[It's him who has carried forward the traditional Chinese culture]

[Yes, yes, I can clearly feel that Chinese painting has a trend of renaissance now]

[I don’t know if you have ever had a national style milk tea called Cha Yan Yu Mo. Its cups are all printed with famous paintings from major museums, such as "Landscapes of Thousand Miles" and "Moon in Luhua Cave". ]

[Fu Yi's famous painting series is the main one. ]

[Tsk, the owner of this store is a fan of Fu Yi, right? ]

[The boss is Zhong Chen hahahahahaha]

[that's no wonder]

[I guess Qi Linqing is a fan of Fu Yi]

[I think even Qi Linqing can be hailed as the saint of modern printmaking, woo woo woo]

[Didn’t a blogger say last time that his painting skills are deeply rooted in the essence of ancient paintings, even better than some well-known bigwigs]

[? ]

[exaggerated exaggerated]

[Some brainless fans don't want to recruit gangsters]

[everyone be humble]

[After all, Qi Linqing's age is here. Besides, apart from the two paintings in "Tangyue Fengyun", there are no other works that can be sold at all, haven't you noticed? ]

[Fuck, it seems to be…]

[Other Chinese painting tycoons searched their names on Baidu, and all that popped up were a large number of pictures of their works and published books]

[Where is Qi Linqing? What else is left for him besides these two blurred screenshots from film and television and the "Encyclopedia of Lost Chinese Painting Techniques"? ]

["Lost Traditional Chinese Painting Techniques" is indeed a classic, benefiting the modern lost Chinese painting civilization. But these techniques are obviously passed down from ancient times, so who passed them on to Qi Linqing? The answer is obvious, it is his master. ]

[I'm boldly opening the mic here, it's not Qi Linqing who is awesome, but his knowledgeable and well-informed master. ]

[Upstairs is really funny, I don’t understand what it means to be led by a master to practice alone?]

[I suggest you go and read "The Great Chinese Painters", Qi Linqing's painting skills are amazing]

[People are just keeping a low profile, okay]

Netizens were so noisy that it aroused a certain amount of heat.

Painting and Calligraphy Association.

The assistant informed Mr. Xu about this.

Mr. Xu pondered for a moment, and said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time. Linqing is now well-known, but there is no masterpiece yet. I'll contact him another day to hold a personal Chinese painting exhibition."

Holding a solo exhibition is a very important event for professional painters.

This is equivalent to the debut of idol stars, and holding exhibitions is a way for them to face the public and declare themselves as painters.

That night, Qi Linqing received a message from Mr. Xu.

The other party hoped that he could sort out the manuscripts and pick out some to hold a personal exhibition.

The organizer and sponsor of the exhibition will be handled by the Huaxia Painting and Calligraphy Association.

In a blink of an eye, the end of the year was approaching, Qi Linqing didn't pay much attention to this matter, and casually gathered a roll of his daily practice drawings and sent them over.

Fame is undoubtedly the dream that every painter strives for all his life.

No one wants to spend their lives in obscurity.

Qi Linqing considers himself a layman. He also wanted to be famous before.

But maybe it's because of life and death, maybe because his fame in his previous life has reached its peak.

Qi Linqing doesn't have much worldly desires now.

He has more important things to do now than organizing the exhibition.

end of January.

The atmosphere of the Spring Festival is strong.

The city's neighborhood streets are decorated with bright red lanterns and decorative flower ribbons.

The grand occasion of this year's Spring Festival travel is broadcast on TV.

City B is a first-tier city with a skyrocketing immigrant population. Every new year, migrant workers go home one after another, but it becomes deserted.

New Year's Eve, Siheyuan.

The New Year's Eve at the table in the hall is quite sumptuous.

Qi Linqing and Zhong Chen sat down facing each other.

With so many dishes, it's too wasteful for two people to eat.

Qi Linqing originally wanted the housekeeper and the nanny to eat at the table together, but they refused to do so.

After taking a few bites, Zhong Chen got up and turned on the TV in the living room.

"Everyone usually watches the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve," he explained.

"En." Qi Linqing glanced at the TV from the corner of his eye.

After two or three channels, Fu Hanri actually appeared.

He sang a song with a female artist, but the voice sounded a little strange.

Zhong Chen snorted coldly: "This is obviously fake singing."

Qi Linqing smiled lowly, "What do you care about others?" Then he put a piece of braised lean meat into Zhong Chen's bowl.

In the original novel, Qi Lele was originally invited to attend the Spring Festival Gala with Fu Hanri.

A year passed.

Unknowingly, the real plot has gone on a completely different track.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhong Chen habitually sat on the sofa with a cup of milk tea in his arms.

Qi Linqing muttered: "You can't sit down after eating, you have to stand, or take a walk, otherwise you will gain weight."

"It's okay, I won't gain weight." Zhong Chen rubbed his stomach.

After he found out that no matter how hard he exercised, he couldn't have eight-pack abs, so he started eating nonsense for more than half a year.

The strange thing is that no matter how much he eats, he doesn't gain weight and still maintains his current body fat weight.

This can barely be regarded as an advantage of the original owner's body, Zhong Chen thought to himself.

"By the way, tomorrow's New Year's Day, my parents asked us to have dinner at home."

After hearing this, Qi Linqing felt a little uneasy.

He was actually a little reluctant to go to Zhong's house.

Because every time Zhong's father and Zhong's mother are very enthusiastic, they will always mention the matter of marriage.

"Yeah." He took a deep breath.

Zhong Chen stretched out his hand and pulled Qi Linqing to the sofa, patted him on the back and comforted him: "It's okay, you help me, I'll help you. When I return to H city with you to meet Mr. Yan the day after tomorrow, he will definitely also Urging marriage."

Qi Linqing: "..."

It's so difficult.

Qi family.

Although this year's New Year's Eve is the same as usual, it is a family reunion of four. But Qi Hui, Yan Qiongfang and Qi Yingjun all felt inexplicably deserted and desolate.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was silent, and no one spoke.

The Spring Festival Gala played on the TV in the living room, Fu Hanri's deep and melodious singing sounded.

Qi Hui glanced at the TV screen, and suddenly regretted why he had to force Linqing and Fu Hanri to marry.

Merchant profiteering.

He wanted the group to reach a cooperation with the Fu family on Hong Kong Island and bundle them into a gigantic ship. From then on, even if I am gone, the family property can protect the children for a lifetime.

But he never considered the child's idea.

Qi Hui finally realized that what he had done was completely wrong.

But now it is too late.

Qi Hui put down his chopsticks. He took out his mobile phone and clicked into the address book, and his finger stayed in front of Qi Linqing's phone number, wanting to press it.

After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and put the phone back in his pocket again.

the next day.

It snowed heavily at night, and it is still fluttering outside.

The snow is already deep, about four or five centimeters thick.

Qi Lin got up early to write a couplet.

The housekeeper hung it at the gate of the courtyard.

Neighbors wandered over to see it, and asked casually, "Where did you buy these couplets?"

The butler replied, "Our young master wrote it himself."

"Yo! It's so beautiful." The neighbor asked curiously, "Is it for sale? How much is it?"

Butler Black Line, "Not for sale!"

Neighbor: "You tell me the amount, I can afford as much as you want."

Probably the people who live in this area are not short of money.

The housekeeper waved his hand, chasing people away: "Come on, do you think our young master looks like someone short of money?"

The neighbor had to leave angrily.

After a while, another old man walking saw this couplet and was astonished.

He stood outside the door, pulling on the railing, unable to walk at all.

The neighbor poked his head out and said, "Don't look at it, they don't sell couplets."

The old man trembled and murmured: "Of course... This calligraphy, of course, cannot be sold. It is simply a priceless treasure!"

Neighbor:"?"

The courtyard in the morning is very lively.

Couriers and errands continue to deliver New Year's goods.

There are gift boxes from the Huaxia Painting and Calligraphy Association, New Year gifts from the crew of "Chuan Ge Xing", fresh melons and fruits sent by Nan Pai, and a bunch of things from people I know or don't know, all piled up in the yard.

At noon, Gan Yishan and Ye Runan also came to pay New Year's greetings in person.

They had lunch at the master's house, and Gan Yishan offered to help sweep the snow.

She rolled up her sleeves, took the broom, and was busy outside the door with the housekeeper.

On the heating platform in front of the window, fresh snow water was gurgling in the stove.

Zhong Chen leaned over to make tea, and said, "You have taken in a good apprentice."

Qi Linqing: "Is it okay to help sweep the snow?"

Zhong Chen: "Uh, then what do you think makes a good apprentice?"

Qi Linqing smiled without saying a word.

Ye Runan shouted at the side: "That must be you, Mr. Zhong. Didn't you also learn painting from Master Qi? Make tea during the day and warm the bed at night. The most dedicated apprentice is you."

Zhong Chen smiled when he heard this, poured a cup of freshly brewed tea and handed it to Ye Runan, saying:

"Speak more if you can talk."

Ye Runan said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid Master Qi will hit me if I talk too much."

Qi Linqing: "I look like this kind of person?"

Ye Runan: "You are a decent person."

Zhong Chen couldn't hold back, and burst into laughter.

With a straight face, Qi Linqing stretched out his hand to mess up his hair.

In the next few days, Qi Linqing and Zhong Chen went to Zhong's house, Yan's house in H city respectively, and also went to Mr. Yang's house to pay New Year greetings to him.

Under Lin Xichen's earnest lobbying, Qi Linqing finally let go and agreed to join the Southern School.

Therefore, Lin Xichen proposed to let him represent the Guangdong School to participate in the annual auction event at the headquarters in Shashi.

"This auction is not ordinary. It brings together the classic and antique collections of the Southern School over the years. However, the bid is too high, and there are often unsold. But it doesn't matter if you go and have a look. With your level of Chinese painting, if you submit a painting , I think it can sell for a lot of money." Lin Xichen said with a smile on the phone.

Qi Linqing: "I don't sell Chinese paintings."

"It's all right, why don't you go and have a look?"

Qi Linqing thought for a while and said, "Can I bring someone with me?"

Lin Xichen hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, there are ten places for the Cantonese School this year. Except for me and my son Huang Yuchen, it doesn't matter how many people you bring."

Qi Linqing: "I'll just take one, my wife."

Qi Linqing told Zhong Chen about it.

Zhong Chen is very happy to take a trip during the holiday. And you can also visit the auction of the Modern Southern School by the way, why not do it.

He once single-handedly promoted the development of the Southern School. Now I'd love to see how it's doing.

So the two packed their luggage and set off for Shashi the next day.

This made Qi Yingjun who came to the courtyard specially come to nothing.

"Where did they go?" he asked the butler.

The butler replied: "Honeymoon trip."

Qi Yingjun: "???"

In February, Shashi.

From winter to spring, the temperature in this city is still freezing.

Antique Street, as always, was crowded with people.

Just after the Spring Festival, everyone wants to try their luck.

When the wind chimes rang at the door, Qi Linqing had just stepped into this humble incense candle shop led by Lin Xichen.

"This is the headquarters of our Nanpai." Lin Xichen introduced.

Qi Linqing came here alone.

Zhong Chen had a bad stomach from eating at noon, and now he is resting in the hotel.

He looked around the small shop.

A handsome young man was sitting behind a container in the store.

He was wearing a turtleneck sweater and was lounging on a chair, playing with a lighter.

A tabby cat with intricate patterns is lying on his lap, eyes half closed.

"Xiao Ren, long time no see." Lin Xichen stepped forward and knocked on the counter.

The young man looked up at them, and his eyes stayed on Qi Linqing for a moment, concentrating slightly.

Lin Xichen stretched out his hand and passed in front of him, "Why are you in a daze, this is a new member of our Cantonese faction this year, Qi Linqing. You should know him, right? There are so many news about him on the Internet."

The young man came back to his senses and said, "Yes, I know."

Lin Xichen: "I won't play around with you either. It's his first time here, and I want to show him around the headquarters before the auction, and burn incense sticks for the ancestors by the way."

The ancestor Lin Xichen mentioned refers to Fu Yi, the founder of the Nanpai.

Qi Linqing's expression remained calm.

He seems to have been like this since he came in, and he has an inexplicable desolate temperament.

The young man's heart skipped a beat.

"No." He said without hesitation: "The headquarters is being renovated today."

"All right."

Lin Xichen didn't doubt it, but was a bit disappointed.

He brought Qi Linqing here all the way, but he didn't even enter the inner door.

If people think that this dilapidated small candle shop is the headquarters, wouldn't they doubt the strength of the Nanpai in their hearts

He finally dug Qi Linqing in...

"I'll bring you over after the auction." Lin Xichen turned to Qi Linqing and said.

"No problem."

When the two were about to leave, the young man suddenly stopped them.

"Mr. Lin, there will be a competition with the Northern faction after the next year, don't forget."

Lin Xichen waved her hands without looking back, "I won't forget this kind of thing even if I'm old and confused."

Qi Linqing couldn't help feeling curious.

After going far away, Lin Xichen took the initiative to explain to him: "This competition is similar to an auction, once a year. Don't look at the Northern faction's downfall now. But there are many capable people among them. And there is a request, send it to Those who compete must be young people from each faction who are not more than thirty years old."

"My family Yuchen went there last year, but it failed miserably."

Speaking of this, Lin Xichen still regrets it.

This incident was very embarrassing, and once made him and the Cantonese school feel bad.

Qi Linqing asked, "Who was that young man just now?"

"Oh, talk about him. His name is Ren Xinyuan, he is from the Fujian faction, and he has a close relationship with our Cantonese faction." Lin Xichen walked to the side of the road and waved for a taxi.

Qi Linqing was thoughtful.

He always felt as if he had seen each other somewhere.

After getting into the car, Lin Xichen said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know if you are free at that time. If possible, can you participate in this competition for the Cantonese faction?"

When Lin Xichen said this, she felt a little ashamed.

He felt that he was too a chicken thief.

As far as Qi Linqing's level of Chinese painting is concerned, even these old men in their 50s and 60s can't compare, and they can definitely kill their peers in seconds.

Unexpectedly, Qi Linqing naturally agreed, "Yes."

He was originally from the Nanpai, so he naturally wanted to maintain the dignity of the Nanpai.

at the same time.

B City Art Museum.

It was almost time to get off work, and a van stopped at the back door.

The staff removed the paintings fixed with foam paper and wooden frames one by one in the car and put them into the warehouse.

Traditional Chinese paintings are soft and light, and they can be easily disassembled and hung up.

There are 30 works in total, among which landscape paintings are the most, followed by figure paintings.

Meticulous flower and bird paintings are the least, only two.

The painter's signature: Qi Linqing.

The staff all know that next week there will be an art exhibition of the new Chinese painter.

However, there are unspoken rules in the industry.

Generally, no more than eight works will be exhibited by newcomers for the first time.

But Qi Linqing has already far exceeded this number.
