After Shen Li arrived at the painting association, Lin Yaohui was already waiting for her and took her directly to Yu Pingchuan's office.
After Mei Yanqing had an operation before, she seldom came here, and many things were handled by Yu Pingchuan.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the door was pushed open, and Yu Pingchuan walked in:
"Ari, have you been waiting long?"
Shen Li shook her head: "No. Is your meeting over?"
Yu Pingchuan said with a smile: "Yes. It should have ended long ago, but today there are many things, so it was delayed. Then let's go to Jinse Bay now?"
Shen Li replied "OK" and walked out together with him.
When I came to the corridor, I happened to bump into several members of the Painting Association, including Yu Pingchuan and Shen Li, and greeted them politely.
In fact, judging from their ages, they are all considered to be Shen Li's elders, but who made Shen Li Mei Yanqing's disciple, most people here will be behind her in terms of seniority.
After a moment of pleasantries, Shen Li raised her eyes unintentionally, and suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure walking around the corner.
Shi Yang.
Following him is his assistant, talking to him:
"... I have checked the process of the event next Monday, and there is no problem. In addition, the cake you ordered has been prepared and will be delivered to your residence in one hour."
Shi Yang nodded, then seemed to have noticed something suddenly, and raised his eyes to look forward.
Shen Li was standing with Yu Pingchuan.
She was wearing a black sweater, jeans, and a baseball cap on her head today.
At first glance, it is cold and sassy.
She and her... are really different.
It's only when the hat covers the eyebrows and eyes that they show a somewhat pleasing resemblance.
Thinking of this, he suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and smiled at Shen Li.
Shen Li frowned slightly.
For some reason, she always felt that Shi Yang's glance just now seemed to carry some kind of scrutiny.
But when she wanted to discern carefully, that feeling dissipated again.
Look again, Shi Yang is still as refined and elegant as every time we meet, his eyes behind the lens are calm and gentle.
Yu Pingchuan and the others were also aware of his arrival and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Shi Yang looked at Shen Li:
"Shen Li came here today to pick up Mr. Yu?"
Shen Li's expression is light:
"Um."
This attitude is indeed a bit cold.
Shi Yang paused, he didn't seem to mind, and said with a smile:
"That should be something urgent, so we won't delay."
Yu Pingchuan coughed:
"Master is still waiting at home, so I am in a hurry."
"So that's it." Shi Yang smiled and stepped aside, "Then don't make Lao Mei wait."
Everyone heard the words and echoed.
Shen Li and Yu Pingchuan did not stay too long and left soon.
The rest of the people dispersed one after another, and when the two figures disappeared around the corner, Shi Yang looked away.
The assistant whispered:
"This Chen Li... among other things, this temper is... thanks to your liking her paintings so much, she..."
Such indifference really didn't save Shi Yang much face.
"What do you care about with children? Besides, I like her paintings, will she treat me differently because of this?"
Shi Yang smiled, but his voice became a little weaker.
"In this world, there is no such reason."
After hearing what he said, the assistant didn't dare to discuss any more, and just nodded:
"yes."
Shi Yang walked a few steps, then looked back.
The tall and slender figure had disappeared.
He said:
"Forget it, I'll get the cake myself later."
The assistant was a little surprised, but still quickly responded:
"Okay, then I'll tell them."
Shi Yang didn't speak, turned and left.
…
"A Li, do you have a problem with Shi Yang?"
As soon as he got in the car, Yu Pingchuan couldn't help asking.
Shen Li held the steering wheel, looked ahead, and spoke calmly:
"No."
"Then you-"
It's not the first time for Shen Li to meet Shi Yang, she was polite before, but now she is not even that polite anymore.
Shen Li said lightly: "I can't say I have an opinion, I'm not familiar with him after all. I'm just simple - I don't like him."
Yu Pingchuan felt very helpless with this answer.
"You are more and more like Master in this regard."
Whenever Mei Yanqing mentioned Shi Yang, it was always the same.
—No reason, just boredom.
And I don't even bother to do any superficial effort.
Shen Li was noncommittal about this.
When she saw Shi Yang now, she would unconsciously think of Tao Siwen and those fake paintings.
Yu Pingchuan knew that she was stubborn, but he didn't want to persuade her.
"Forget it, you don't like it if you don't like it."
Anyway, Master didn't like it either.
Yu Pingchuan quickly changed the subject:
"Did you bring a painting with you today?"
Shen Li nodded: "Yes. I would like to invite Master to take a look with you."
Mentioning this, Yu Pingchuan became interested again.
"That's great! You don't know, since Luo Nai called the master, he has been talking about it every day. You are busier than before, and it is not easy to produce a painting. The master must be happy to see it. "
The corners of Shen Li's lips curved.
…
The two soon arrived at Jinse Bay, and Mei Yanqing was already waiting.
Shen Li took the painting in.
Mei Yanqing watched in the study for half an hour, during which time Luo Nai's anger was finally subsided, and the smile on his face could not be covered when eating.
"Although Ah Li produces fewer paintings now, each one is better than the last one."
Yu Pingchuan secretly gave Shen Li a thumbs up.
Look, I still have to leave it to her to coax Master.
Think about how much he has been wronged here during this period of time.
Mei Yanqing is very generous:
"By the way, Luo Nai has always liked your paintings. Give him a call later to make him happy too."
Shen Li: "..."
Yu Pingchuan: "..."
How can this make people happy? It's clear that they want to get the place back, right
But Mei Yanqing obviously had made up her mind, Shen Li and Yu Pingchuan looked at each other and kept silent with interest.
"By the way, are you going to send this painting to be photographed later?" Mei Yanqing asked.
Shen Li shook her head.
She really had lingering fears about the last auction, so now she will basically not make such a decision lightly.
Besides—
She still owes Lu Huai a painting.
Yu Pingchuan said with a smile:
"A Li now produces fewer paintings than before, so it's better to keep some in hand."
Shen Li coughed lightly.
She probably won't be able to keep this painting...
Thinking of another purpose of coming here today, she looked at Mei Yanqing with a more serious expression:
"Master, I have something to tell you: the appearance of my fake painting is related to Tao Siwen."
As soon as these words came out, both Mei Yanqing and Yu Pingchuan were taken aback.
"What?"
Shen Li briefly explained what Lu Huai and the investigation had found, and the expressions of the two became more and more serious.
"... The things he did abroad can be found more or less, but it is much more difficult to find in China, so I guess, someone in the painting association should make it easier for him."
Mei Yanqing frowned tightly.
After a long time, he said in a deep voice:
"I see."
