Xiao Ding looked at the time, half an hour later than expected, he turned around and asked, "Master, are you still waiting?"
"Wait!" Gu Nianbin sat on the back of the chair, staring straight at the intersection.
Xiao Ding sighed quietly, the young master said to wait, but he felt that Du Xiaoxian might not come. Putting down everything at hand, and came here an hour early to wait, but half an hour had passed since the appointed time, and Du Xiaoxian hadn't shown up yet. In Xiao Ding's impression, Du Xiaoxian is not someone who likes to be late, and if she doesn't show up, it only means that she won't come.
But in the blink of an eye, Du Xiaoxian unexpectedly appeared, Xiao Ding rubbed his eyes, and for a moment suspected that it was his own illusion.
Du Xiaoxian was wearing a padded coat with a bear pattern on it, making her legs look more and more slender. She was carrying a small bag across her shoulders. She came from the intersection and hurried towards the gallery. She was a little far away, and she was from the side, so she couldn't see her face clearly. face, only to see her short hair flying in the wind.
Xiao Ding sneaked a glance at Gu Nianbin from the rearview mirror, and seeing his staring eyes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "I can't see it, it hurts, I see it now, I'm afraid it will be even more uncomfortable."
Gu Nianbin looked at her almost greedily, and after only a few days of seeing her, she lost weight. Although he couldn't see it clearly, he could feel that Du Xiaoxian had lost weight. Leaving him, she must be very sad, very sad, and must have cried. Thinking of her crying, Gu Nianbin's heart throbbed, as if being pinched hard, then suddenly let go, pinched again, let go again, again and again, the pain was unbearable.
He really wanted to run over and hold her tightly in his arms to comfort the pain of lovesickness in the past few days. Without her, every minute and every second is suffering, and the heartache is so painful that he can't breathe. It turns out that love can make people feel so painful. It's like going deep into the bone marrow and merging into the blood, it can't be peeled off, it can only be tormented.
At this moment, he finally understood that he just liked Xia Xiaowan, a habitual liking, so when Xia Xiaowan left, he didn't go to her, but for Du Xiaoxian, he couldn't do it, no matter what she did What, no matter how sad it makes him, he will find her back in the end. Just like what he said to Xia Xiaowan: without Du Xiaoxian, he would die. He really will die!
Du Xiaoxian saw He Sen as soon as she entered the gallery, and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. He, I'm late."
He Sen was talking to someone, when he turned around and saw her, he immediately waved with a smile, "Come on, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Zhou, the owner of the gallery."
Du Xiaoxian felt scared whenever she saw strangers, especially rich strangers. She bowed and called softly, "Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Xuan was taken aback, and looked at He Sen in surprise. He knew it was a little girl, but he didn't expect it to be such a little girl. He originally thought that he would be able to hold an art exhibition at such a young age. She must be very motivated and confident. The girl, when they met, turned out to be a weak girl with a timid expression, completely different from what he thought.
But the small face is pretty, what's more rare is that he has a pair of clear and lively big eyes, with his vicious eyes trained in painting for many years, I feel that if someone draws a few portraits of Du Xiaoxian, captures her agility, and draws her clearness Yun, should be able to sell for a good price.
"How should I pay you back for such a big gift?" Zhou Xuan teased her, clasped his fists together and said, "Then that's all I have to do, Miss Du, don't dare to do it!"
Du Xiaoxian didn't know how to deal with teasing her when they met for the first time, so he made a big face and looked at He Sen as if asking for help.
He Sen said with a smile: "Boss Zhou is joking with you, don't pay attention to him, we hung up the paintings today, I picked a few as the theme, but I don't know what you mean, so I asked you to come and have a look." no?"
Du Xiaoxian quickly waved his hands: "I don't understand, Mr. He, just make up your mind."
"Why do I make up my mind," He Sen said, "The painting is yours, and of course your opinion is the main one."
Du Xiaoxian still wanted to decline, but Zhou Xuan said: "There is no point in arguing like this, Ms. Du, it's better to look at the painting first."
He Sen agreed immediately, Du Xiaoxian had no choice but to follow them without saying a word.
The painting exhibition is upstairs, a very large exhibition hall, about 200 square meters, Du Xiaoxian saw that his paintings were all beautifully framed and hung on the wall, and in some places there were three or four small ones, which seemed to be in harmony with each other. There are some connections, for example, some insects or some flowers she painted. She didn't have any other ideas when she painted them, but it was very interesting for He Sen to pick one out and put one.
In some places, a large picture was hung with spotlights on it. Under the strong light, the picture is even more vivid and eye-catching. The oil paint is rich and thick, and it has a very three-dimensional effect. Du Xiaoxian originally thought that her paintings were too childish to be handy, but she thought they were pretty good when they were framed one by one like this and hung on the wall, but she was too embarrassed to say so.
He Sen led her to look at it slowly, explaining along the way, why these few pictures should be hung together, why should that one be hung separately, which one should be hung in the front and which one should be placed in the back, there are all particulars, Du Xiaoxian carefully Listening intently, nodding from time to time, she was actually a little surprised, there was so much knowledge about hanging a picture, it seemed that she still had a lot to learn.
After walking around in a circle, it was already noon, Zhou Xuan said: "It's rare that Ms. Du is here, I'll do something at noon, please be sure to treat Ms. Du to you."
With such polite words and such a teasing tone, Du Xiaoxian was extremely embarrassed, "Mr. Zhou, no, that, you should help me hold the art exhibition, I should be the one to invite you." As soon as the words came out, he remembered that he only had twenty yuan on him. , and stopped talking.
Zhou Xuan said: "Ms. Du, why are you being polite to me? I hold an art exhibition for you because I want to make money. When your paintings sell for a good price, it won't be too late to invite me to eat."
He Sen laughed: "Look at you, after all, you are opening a gallery, and the purpose of opening your mouth is to make money. Let's also talk about art, okay?"
Zhou Xuan said to Du Xiaoxian: "Miss Du, do you understand art?"
Of course Du Xiaoxian shook his head, Zhou Xuan laughed, "A hypocrite talks about art, we are all pragmatic, so we talk about money. Ms. Du, I am optimistic about you, your paintings will definitely sell well."
"Thank you for your kind words in advance," He Sen said, "Xiaoxian, since Boss Zhou wants to treat guests, let's choose an expensive place and have a good meal. Boss Zhou has plenty of money anyway."
Du Xiaoxian blushed and said: "Yes, it doesn't have to be expensive, I think food stalls are also fine."
Zhou Xuan laughed again, and winked at He Sen, "One should be as kind as Miss Du!"
The blush on Du Xiaoxian's face never faded after being teased by him.
The three of them chatted and laughed out the door, got into Zhou Xuan's off-road vehicle, and drove towards the road on the left.
Xiao Ding didn't ask until he could no longer see the car, "Master, are you coming back?"
Gu Nianbin's gaze was still fixed. When Du Xiaoxian got into the car, he saw her face was flushed, and she was smiling, but the smile was timid. He hadn't seen her smile like this for a long time. Like a green peel orange, her heart was so sad that she returned to her original appearance, afraid of strangers, afraid to laugh, reserved and cautious.
After a while, he finally raised the car window, and said in a tired voice, "Let's go."
Shao Baiqing was very busy, but the phone rang, and he picked it up angrily: "Mary, didn't you tell me that you will connect the phone?"
When Mary heard that the boss was angry, she hurriedly explained: "It's Mrs. Shao's call."
Only then did Shao Baiqing groan, and said, "Come in."
As soon as the call was connected, Shao Baiqing's emotions had already been adjusted, and he said in a cheerful voice, "Mrs. Shao, you called yourself, but what are your orders?"
Nina yelled at him on the other end of the phone: "Don't be so hippie, let me ask you, why is the phone turned off?"
"I'm busy, and I'm afraid of being scratched, so I closed it."
Nina snorted: "Are you afraid of being scratched, or are you afraid of being scratched?"
"My dear wife, look at you, you are here again," Shao Baiqing couldn't laugh or cry: "With you in charge, who would dare to tease me now?"
Nina snorted again: "You are too unconscious, so I have to remind you from time to time."
"Honey, don't worry, I'm sounding the alarm for myself every day, treat life well, and stay away from all vixens."
Nina was puzzled: "What is the relationship between vixen and life?"
Shao Baiqing explained solemnly: "If I don't stay away from the vixen, you will leave me. If you leave me, can I still live?"
Nina chuckled: "Stop talking, don't make trouble, I have serious business."
"Ma'am please tell me."
"I know where Du Xiaoxian is?"
"Really?" Shao Baiqing became serious now: "Where is it?"
"It's in the neighborhood where I used to rent. I don't know exactly which building, but I probably know the location."
Shao Baiqing was surprised: "You are a pregnant woman who never leaves home, how did you know?"
"It was Sister Liu who used to live upstairs from me. She met Xiaoxian several times in the community, and she told me."
Shao Baiqing asked: "Which Sister Liu? Why don't I know her?"
"Did you forget? It's the one I had a blind date with her cousin."
Shao Baiqing's brows knit into knots: "Why are you still in touch with her? Are you still thinking about that? Let me tell you, don't even think about it! I..."
"What's wrong!" Nina snapped and hung up the phone.
Shao Baiqing looked at the phone in his hand, "Hey, she still dares to hang up on me! It's too late, wait and see tonight!" After saying harsh words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he stretched happily, and went to Gu Nianbin to announce the good news go.
After entering the door, I stopped by Zhou Ting first, and asked in a low voice, "How is your boss looking today?"
Zhou Ting said, "It's still the same."
Shao Baiqing patted her on the shoulder nervously: "Don't worry, I'm here to give your boss a shot in the arm. Keep him alive and kicking."
Zhou Ting covered her mouth and laughed straight: "Mr. Shao, you use this adjective extremely well!"
"Look." Shao Baiqing patted his chest confidently, and entered Gu Nianbin's office.
Gu Nianbin was approving documents, and looked up at him: "You probably don't have time to come to me today, everything is settled?"
"It's about the same," Shao Baiqing sat down on the chair opposite him, and crossed his legs: "I'm doing things, don't worry."
"Is there something wrong?"
"event!"
Gu Nianbin stopped writing, "What's the big deal?"
Shao Baiqing leaned forward and lowered his voice, as if afraid of being heard: "I know where Du Xiaoxian lives?"
Gu Nianbin said, "That's all?" He buried himself in the documents again.
Shao Baiqing was left there, completely dumbfounded, he looked at Gu Nianbin in disbelief: "Did you not hear clearly, I'm talking about Du Xiaoxian, it's Du Xiaoxian!"
"Understood," Gu Nianbin said flatly, "I don't need to bother you about my business. Go and make a plan quickly. In the morning, Yinglun sent another email to remind me."
"No, you," Shao Baiqing was speechless, what's the matter? Gu Nianbin was so emaciated because of Du Xiaoxian, how could he be so indifferent when he heard the news? Excited? Out of your mind
"Okay, let's go," Gu Nianbin looked amused at his stunned look: "I will handle my affairs myself."
"You don't want to know where she is?"
"I know where she is."
"Go and bring her back if you know?" Shao Baiqing really couldn't understand.
"I want to give her some more time."
"Okay," Shao Baiqing sighed, "You can deal with it yourself, I don't care."
He walked out of the door in frustration. Seeing his appearance, Zhou Ting covered her mouth and snickered again: "Mr. Shao, you were still alive and kicking when you entered. Why did you become like this when you came out?"
Shao Baiqing raised his hand: "Look for a fight!"
Zhou Ting dodges, but Shao Baiqing laughs and walks away. He should have thought that Gu Nianbin must have planned to stay in the company quietly these days, but he was just worrying about it.
