Taking back the phone, Yu Nian said to Xiao Ting, "Can we talk in another place?"
Xiao Ting smiled, "I have the same intention."
The nanny's car drove onto the road and merged into the traffic. Glancing in the rearview mirror at the black Range Rover following behind, Meng Yuan spoke, "Niannian, who is this Xiao Ting? It seems... that the visitor is not kind?"
Shi Rou also said, "That's right, that's right, I noticed the watch on his wrist, a limited edition Vacheron Constantin. And, even though he was smiling when he spoke, I always felt creepy on my back. That posture, where is buying a painting?" ?”
Yu Nian was holding his mobile phone thinking about something, when they asked, he explained the whole story in two sentences, "Well, he is one of the heirs of a large Chinese family in Canada, and he came to grab the painting. I have a painting of "Drunken Horse" in my hand. "Outing in Spring", he wants to buy it by force."
Meng Yuan opened his mouth, and suddenly he didn't know whether to be surprised by the identity and purpose of the person who came, or by the fact that Yu Nian actually had "Drunk Horse Touring Spring" in his hand.
But thinking that Yu Nian once bought 90 million yuan for "The Picture of Continuous Rain in Mountains and Mountains", 200 million yuan for "Insomnia Post", "Drunken Horse Touring Spring Picture"... It seems nothing to be shocked
You should get used to it.
After struggling for two seconds, Meng Yuan decided not to ask more questions, so he changed the subject.
"After you spoke up and denied being acquainted with Wang Ningxue, the direction of public opinion has changed significantly. I don't know if you were scolded too badly by your fans and passers-by, but Wang Ningxue's team has restrained themselves somehow." Meng Yuan sighed, "Speaking of Wang Ningxue, The only work that can be named is "Ancient Road" that has not been released. If you don't hone your acting skills and improve your professional ability, you have to follow these crooked ways!"
But he also knew, "In this circle, the tepid people still account for the majority, and there are many people in it. In order to turn around, there are a lot of unscrupulous things." Meng Yuan touched his chin, "But This time, we have to be tough, otherwise, Wang Ningxue will really taste the sweetness, and I don't know how many monsters and ghosts will haunt Nian Nian in the future."
Yu Nian: "I think so too. Moreover, feelings cannot withstand consumption. I don't want Xie You to be busy with work, but also to spend all his energy dealing with countless scandals about me."
Shi Rou couldn't help but speak up for Yu Nian, "But, you are an artist, and scandals and such are not something you can take the initiative to control."
Yu Nian shook his head, "That's not the reason. According to this logic, wouldn't Xie You's career, family background, and net worth attract more people? Marrying into a wealthy family is the goal of many people."
"It seems to be so, and Mr. Xie's appearance is not only up to the standard, but also very high," Shi Rou thought carefully, "However, Mr. Xie... it seems that there has never been any scandal!"
Meng Yuan added, "Mr. Xie freezes the high-cold aura that is thousands of miles away. When he comes to Xingyao to find Mr. Qu, his face at the front desk will turn pale with fright."
"He... is not like this in private."
Seeing Meng Yuan and Shi Rou's expressions of "Don't try to lie to us", Yu Nian didn't say much, borrowing Yu Qing's words, "Anyway, this is my attitude, I must keep my innocence."
Meng Yuan was amused, "Okay, no one can tarnish your innocence."
The nanny car parked downstairs in Ninghe Building, Meng Yuan asked Yu Nian worriedly, "Are you really going by yourself?"
"Well, Xie You is coming soon. Brother Meng, Sister Rourou, you should go back and rest first, you are tired these days."
Meng Yuan is not procrastinating either, "Well, Rourou and I will go back first, and you will pay attention."
Xiao Tingyue's place is the top private club in Ningcheng, called Yulan, located on the 50th floor of Ninghe Building, it has floor-to-ceiling windows with a 360-degree panoramic view. In the area of the clubhouse, one can overlook the entire core area of Ningcheng.
Stepping into the elevator, the four walls are inlaid with exquisite wood carvings and mirrors, and the decoration is elegant but not cumbersome. Xiao Ting looked at Yu Nian and asked with the corner of his mouth raised, "The friend you invited to meet here likes to eat braised crucian carp?"
"Well, yes." Yu Nian didn't say the second half of the sentence - he should like to eat all the dishes I cook.
In a few sentences, the elevator door opened and stepped into the clubhouse area. The afterglow of the setting sun just shone down, adding a layer of light gold to the surface of the handmade carpet, and the bronze lamp holder decorated with a human face on the wall also shone with brilliance.
Xiao Ting straightened the wrinkle-free cuffs, and politely reminded Chao Yu Nian, "How long does it take for the person you're dating to arrive, do you need me to say hello first? This is a membership system, you need to show your membership card, and non-members can't get in."
Yu Nian's smile didn't reach his eyes, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary."
Xiao Ting smiled and spread his hands, "Okay, whatever you want."
The three of them walked a few steps inside, when four young managers in suits and ties walked past quickly and stood respectfully on both sides of the entrance.
Xiao Ting withdrew his gaze from the oil painting hanging on the wall, put his hands in his pockets, and asked the waiter leading the way, "Who is here?"
The waiter replied in a moderate voice, "The boss is here temporarily."
Xiao Ting was very interested, "Who is your boss?"
The waiter smiled and did not answer.
Seeing this attitude, Xiao Ting didn't lose face and asked more, turned his head to Yu Nian and said, "Shall we go in?"
Yu Nian nodded, "Okay."
At this moment, a whispered greeting came from the door, "Good afternoon."
Xiao Ting guessed that Yulan's boss had arrived, turned around, and saw a young man in a black hand-tailored suit walking in not far away. The other party's expression was cold, with deep eye sockets, and his appearance was strikingly handsome, but the afterglow of the setting sun couldn't add any warmth to him.
Seeing the respectful appearance of the four young managers, Xiao Ting could be sure that this is the mysterious behind-the-scenes boss of the Yulan Club, but he did not expect to be so young.
While he was thinking, the other party had already looked in his direction, and in the end, he stepped closer.
Xiao Ting smiled, and was about to reach out his right hand to shake hands with the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party stopped, raised his hand, and gently and carefully adjusted the necklace hanging around Yu Nian's neck. He said in a very gentle voice, "Are you tired today? ?”
Yu Nian bent his lips, "Go to Hersey to try on makeup in the afternoon, it's relatively relaxed and not tiring. What about you?"
Xie You shook his head, "You just finished the meeting when you called, sorry for being a bit late."
After finishing speaking, Xie You shifted his gaze to Xiao Ting, and his voice became cold, "Are you Xiao Ting?"
Xiao Ting was watching the relationship between the two carefully, looking at Xie You with a serious look in his eyes, and said cautiously, "I am Xiao Ting," he said, raising his right hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Xie You's eyes lingered on Xiao Ting's right hand for a moment, then turned away as if he didn't see it, and said to the manager following behind, "I'll give you a plate of cloud cake embedded with silk radish, I like it every year."
After giving the order, he held Yu Nian's hand and walked forward first. While walking, he complained to Yu Nian in a low voice, "Is the braised crucian carp really gone?"
Yu Nian was amused, "I'll make it for you if I go back early, how about it?"
Xie You's eyes brightened slightly, "Okay!"
Xiao Ting and Wu Weilian, who were two steps behind, vaguely heard the words in it, and after looking at each other, they felt a balance in their hearts.
Several people sat down in the box named "Yu Zhang", Xie You took the celadon teapot from the waiter, picked up the teacup himself, and poured a cup of tea for Yu Nian. He tested the temperature with the back of his hand before putting it in front of Yu Nian.
Yu Nian broke the teacup, took a sip and put it down.
Xie You: "Niannian, is it hot?"
Yu Nian shook his head, "It's not hot, the temperature is just right."
Xie You felt relieved.
Turning his gaze to William Wu, Xie You was not tactful, "Did you block Niannian's way at the Yuanjia auction last time?"
Xiao Ting said first, "It's because I was eager to paint, and I was reckless."
Xie You couldn't tell, and his tone became even colder, "I met your father last time at the EGA Economic Forum."
Xiao Ting said with a smile, "Father also mentioned you in front of our brothers when he came back, and praised you greatly."
While talking, Xiao Ting groaned in his heart, he never thought that the person Yu Nian called would be Xie You!
It is true that his father praised Xie You, but there are a few more words behind-"This Xie You, if anyone of you accidentally bumps into him, you must give me a runaway! This man's city wrist, let alone Now, even in the next ten years, you won’t be able to catch up with your flattery! You will be sent to your door and your bones will be pulled out, and you will be grateful after the end, it’s better to hide away from the beginning!”
He didn't want to slam the door, but he didn't expect Xie You to be involved in just one painting.
He saw clearly just now that the relationship between Xie You and Yu Nian must not be simple. Just relying on the cautious attitude of serving tea and pouring water, he cannot be ignored.
There was no joy on Xie You's face, he just responded lightly, "Yes."
The waiter brought in the snacks, Xie You picked out one piece, and carefully cut it into small pieces with auxiliary tableware, then put it next to Yu Nian's teacup.
Xiao Ting thought about it for a while, and decided to directly state the purpose of his visit.
"Mr. Xie should have heard that my grandma likes to collect, especially ancient paintings. Especially Lin Qianzhi's ink marks, I love it very much. But Lin Qianzhi has a lot of calligraphy, and the only painting handed down from generation to generation is "Drunk Horse Touring Spring" "One piece, so, I don't know if I can give up my love?"
Xie You: "The paintings are made every year, you should ask him."
Xiao Ting's earlier contempt was gone, he looked at Yu Nian, and said politely, "Mr. Yu, I wonder if it's possible to cut off love and fulfill the old lady's wish?"
Yu Nian smiled lightly, but answered neatly, "No."
Being rejected bluntly, he was annoyed in his heart, but the smile on Xiao Ting's face did not change, "The price is negotiable, and I can accept a nine-figure bid. Buying these things is originally for collection and investment. According to me As we know, at the Yuanjia Auction, you bid 200 million yuan to buy "Insomnia Post", which is not a low price, you should also want to return the funds to replenish your vitality, right?"
"Since you know that I bid 200 million yuan to buy "Insomnia Post", you should be clear that I am not short of money." Yu Nian remained unmoved, "Sorry, my answer will not change."
If it wasn't for Xie You watching from the side, Xiao Ting would have wanted to scold Yu Nian for being shameless, he would think highly of you if he was willing to give money, and it would be your turn to push back
But he knew that he couldn't afford to offend Xie You, so he had to be patient, "Whatever conditions Mr. Yu has, just ask, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy it."
Yu Nian ate a piece of snack that Xie You had cut, and shook his head, "No condition, because I won't sell that painting."
Xiao Ting glanced at Yu Nian who was sipping tea slowly and silently beside Yu Nian, and finally said, "Okay, I interrupted rashly."
The door of the box was closed, and Xie You put down his teacup, "Every year, and in the last month, bring bodyguards with you when you go in and out, okay?"
"Are you afraid that he will make small moves?"
"Well," Xie You stretched out his hand and stroked the tear mole under Yu Nian's eyes with his soft fingertips, "When it comes to the bargaining chip in the heir competition, I'm worried that he won't give up and cause trouble for you. I can't protect you all the time, there are bodyguards around , I will rest assured."
Yu Nian didn't refuse, "Okay, you can help me arrange that person." Looking at the time, "It's not even seven o'clock yet."
Xie You reacted quickly, "Shall we go back now?"
"Okay, I've already asked Sister Rourou to buy some fresh fish, I guess it won't be too late for dinner..."
There is no airtight wall. First, Gan Zhou, the curator of the Ningcheng Museum, called and politely asked if You Chuntu had been sold. After a while, Rong Yue also called and asked Yu Nian if he had met Xiao Ting at the Yulan Private Club and talked about "Drunken Horse Touring Spring" and how it turned out.
Yu Nian told the truth, saying that the painting was not sold.
Rong Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that the rumors are true. Now many people who want to buy paintings from you privately have given up their minds, because they are all spreading rumors that there are people behind you who are protecting you and have a deep background. Very bad, even Xiao Ting didn't get any benefits. That's fine, otherwise you won't even bother to deal with it."
Yu Nian took a look at Xie You who was rolling up the sleeves of his white shirt and lowering his head to set the bowl and chopsticks, and only replied the second half of the sentence, "Well, that's it."
The meat of crucian carp is tender and has many small spines. Xie You held the chopsticks and carefully picked out the fish bones bit by bit, and then put them in front of Yu Nian.
The snacks eaten at Yulan in the afternoon could only fill his stomach. Yu Nian was already hungry, and he couldn't let it go in front of Xie You, and quickly finished two bowls of rice. Xie You helped him serve a bowl of tomato and egg soup, "Be careful not to choke on it."
Yu Nian drank half a bowl of soup in two gulps, and thought, "I heard you calling Assistant Qin just now, is there something urgent?"
Xie You nodded, "Well, I have to go to Europe overnight. There was an accident in the mining area, and I need to go to the scene to deal with it. There is still a meeting to attend, and it will take about a week."
"A week? So long," Yu Nian put down his chopsticks, "Are you leaving after a while?"
"Yes, the private jet route has been applied for."
Yu Nian suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was tasteless, but he soon became happy again, and counted with his fingers, "Let me figure it out, the shooting of Hersey's commercials, and the shooting of the cover of "V+" magazine , are all in Europe, maybe we can meet there!"
Xie You wiped the corners of his mouth, stood up, rested Yu Nian's chin with his palm, and kissed him lightly. Yu Nian hid back with a smile, "Mr. Xie, please concentrate on eating fish!"
Xie You said intentionally, "Well, I am indeed concentrating on eating my spare time."
Realizing which "yu" Xie You was talking about, Yu Young coughed, "Come on, let's... have some soup!"
After the meal, Yu Nian dug out the celadon tea set and brewed a pot of tea to relieve his boredom. Xie You finished his tea, got up and walked to Yu Nian's chair, leaned on the back of the seat with one hand, lifted Yu Nian's chin with the other, and kissed a gentle kiss. Between the lips and teeth of the two, there is the smell of tea.
On the morning of the 23rd, Yu Nian went to the company early and practiced dancing for two hours in the dance studio.
Seeing Yu Nian coming out, Shi Rou hurriedly handed him a water glass, "Nian Nian, I recorded you dancing just now."
Yu Nian swallowed the water, "Thank you, Sister Rourou." He took the phone, looked it over by himself, then clicked on the dialog box, and sent it directly to Xie You.
Shirou on the side continued to talk, "The babysitter's car has already parked downstairs, this time we recorded "Let Me Sing", Brother Meng won us to bring our own stylist and makeup artist, so Sister Lina and the others will go together later .”
Yu Nian wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel, "Okay, Brother Meng, shall we go together?"
Shi Rou nodded, "We want to go together, Brother Meng has already gone to the recording site first. By the way, the promotional song of the same name of "Ancient Road" was launched on the three major music platforms yesterday. About the same as expected.”
After getting in the car, Yu Nian opened Weibo, because there were too many messages, the whole software was stuck. After finding out the hot search list, Yu Nian saw the tag clearly, and laughed himself.
"—#余年和自己抢第一# Call me every year! "Ancient Road" airborne the third place in the three major music charts, you read that right, it is the third place! Because the top two are "Qi Li" and "Mountain Snow", hahaha~"
“—#余年和自己抢第一# I don’t know if I should feel sorry for Niannian~ I’m doomed to lose the first place with myself! However, before this song comes out, other companies can still strive for the third place, After this song comes out, other companies can only grab fourth place... "
"—#余年和自己抢第一# The voice is so nice! The vocals are so beautiful! After watching the trailer, I’ve already prepared the money for three movies! Looking forward to "Let Me Sing"! Looking forward to the new single!"
Yu Nian came to the recording site with Wei Lu. The two had been on a talk show together before, and when they met again, both of them greeted happily. After being led by the staff into the backstage, Bai Yan had already arrived. Seeing Yu Nian, she enthusiastically said, "Congratulations for the new song being on the list so soon!"
Yu Nian smiled and thanked.
Bai Yan was tall and tall, her fingertips were painted with sequined nail polish, she spoke slowly, but softly, "The song I bought from you was held in the hands of the arranger teacher, and I just held it in for a week before I finished it. Dare to do it, the effect is amazing!"
Sun Mengze was born as the lead singer of a rock band, and he also wrote and sang songs by himself. He admired Yu Nian's talent very much. Hearing Bai Yan's words, he joked, "I listened to "Mountain Snow" before, and I have the urge to ask for a song!"
Bai Yan admired Yu Nian very much, "I really need to make an appointment quickly, if you can't buy it, you will lose money and you will not be fooled!"
Yu Nian hurriedly said, "It would be my honor if I can really cooperate with Mr. Sun!"
Sun Mengze had a kind of ruffian boldness on his body, "Okay, I won't pretend to be modest anymore. When I prepare a new album, I will definitely ask you to make an appointment!"
Not long after, the staff brought the notebook and the camera started working.
The four of them sat together, and Wei Lu was the oldest among them. He took the planning card and read the words on it one by one, "... Now, let the judges show their talents?" He looked up and asked suspiciously, " What talents do we have?"
Bai Yan folded her hands and curled the ends of her curly hair with her fingers, "My talent... the nail polish is very, very even! I can also make beautiful patterns!"
Sun Mengze touched his cropped hair, "I know how to get a haircut, the one with a license!"
Yu Nian pondered, "I will... I will prune the plants in the garden to make shapes, such as rabbits and so on, nothing will trouble me."
Wei Lu: "I will be your assistant!"
Several people laughed.
Sun Mengze said, "Since the plan is written like this, we still can't be too embarrassing, come here, show your talent, who will come first? The younger ones go first!"
Yu Nian pointed at himself, eyes wide open, "Me?"
Wei Lu laughed loudly, "Yes, it's you!"
Yu Nian didn't shirk it either, he was wearing a washed white denim jacket with a white sweater inside, very casual and refreshing. Looking around, Yu Nian asked the staff to get a guitar, and sat down casually on the high stool.
The strings were plucked, and Yu Nian said with a smile, "There is only a short part of the lyrics and music that we have made up now, let's just listen to it."
The surroundings became quiet, and Yu Nian hummed to the rhythm of the strings. His nasal sound was soft, like cotton wool in a cloud, slowly falling on the tip of his heart.
The clear voice is embedded in the accompaniment of the guitar,
"It's not that I'm young and know that there are many sorrows and partings / But the world keeps urging you, I can tell you when I will return / I will send you out to wait for you to return / Your tea-scented lips are wrapped around / Make me drunk /..."
When the camera turned away to take pictures of Sun Mengze's drum performance, Shi Rou came over and whispered, "Niannian, the day you went to the Yulan Club, you were photographed by the paparazzi."
Yu Nian frowned slightly, "What did you capture?"
"You and Mr. Xie were photographed leaving together, but the distance is far away, and you are still wearing a peaked cap."
There are nine pictures leaked by Yuji, claiming that they were originally squatting with other people, and accidentally photographed Yu Nian and a young man leaving the Yulan Club with bodyguards by his side. Judging from the appearance, the person traveling with him should be Xie You.
But as soon as the news came out, it was ridiculed by the crowd.
"-Can the paparazzi who are taking sneak shots now make up stories to be more distracted? Let's just forget the picture is blurred to the point of scum, and you have to say that in the photo, the person walking with Yu Nian is Mr. Xie. I'm crazy to believe you [Dig] nose]"
"—Is the paparazzi lame? Everyone knows that Mr. Xie has been in the scarf for more than one or two years. If they make an appointment for dinner, the meal will probably be covered with arsenic? They will drink tea, and there should be a crane's top in the tea. red… "
"—Yupan private club, damn it, in the magazines in the zoom hall, what kind of private jets and private yachts are recommended! You can spend 200 million yuan to buy a piece of paper every year, and it's okay to be photographed there. It's nothing strange. Mr. Xie's net worth is not surprising. But... uh, they were traveling together? And they left in the same car? Are you sure they didn't bring their bodyguards to make an appointment?"
