Romance heroine just wants to do a career

Chapter 389 Morbid Love (34)

"Me too. In recent years, my family has been pressing hard, but I still don't want to just let it go. Find someone on a blind date, get married and have children. It's too boring."

Chen Xinrui said with a smile.

Liu Yutao noticed that Chen Xinrui seemed to be happier than before, although he didn't understand, he responded, "Yes."

"Yutao, you—"

Chen Xinrui also wanted to ask Liu Yutao's contact information, what he usually likes to do, whether he has a chance to come out to play, etc.

I heard Liu Yutao say "Sorry, excuse me."

She looked sideways, and found a collector came over and had a conversation with Liu Yutao.

The collector and Liu Yutao seemed to know each other.

He was smiling and beckoning Liu Yutao to introduce him to a painting by Huang Zhong that he liked.

Once a collector takes a fancy to a painting, they don't just like it, they obviously want to buy it.

After Liu Yutao nodded, he walked up to the picture he was looking at, and explained it to him earnestly.

Standing not far away, Chen Xinrui looked at Liu Yutao's focused eyebrows, and couldn't help feeling a little bewildered.

Years treated this man very kindly. He was still as handsome as before, but his temperament was a little more mature. Other than that, there was no trace of age.

When Chen Xinrui was in college, she fell in love with Liu Yutao. Liu Yutao was a man of the school at that time, and at that time she was very inferior, so she never had a chance to express her feelings.

Later, she went abroad to continue her studies. After graduation, she stayed in country M due to work reasons. She didn't return to China until two years ago. With her own efforts, she became the youngest director of the painting association.

Only then did she know the grievances between the Painting Association and Liu Yutao, and after returning to China, he had contact with Liu Yutao a few times, and he always treated her indifferently. Chen Xinrui thought it was because he was a member of the Painting Association, so he treated her There is conflict in the heart.

But now it seems that she is thinking too much.

Liu Yutao didn't care about the painting association, and he didn't bother to deal with it. Naturally, he couldn't have any resistance to himself.

He just sees himself as a stranger.

Chen Xinrui felt a little bitter in her heart. In the eyes of people she thought about day and night, she was just like a passerby.

This made her feel a little lost.

But she is not someone who gives up so easily. Now that she has made up her mind, she should at least let Liu Yutao know her intentions.

There was a flash of determination in Chen Xinrui's eyes. She stepped on high heels and walked in front of Liu Yutao and the two of them, and said with a smile: "I am also very interested in this landscape painting by Mr. Huang. Don't mind if I follow along to hear what Yutao thinks about it. How do Huang Lao’s paintings explain it?”

The collector was stunned, and looked at Liu Yutao, "Who is this lady?"

Liu Yutao said to him: "This is my college classmate, Miss Chen Xinrui." Then he looked at Chen Xinrui, "Of course I don't mind."

Then Liu Yutao continued to talk to the collector.

Chen Xinrui listened quietly from the side.

……

Xuan Zi walked to the second floor, which was an exhibition area dedicated to Huang Zhong's figure oil paintings.

She watched one of the paintings quietly, and many people who watched the exhibition recognized her. After all, Huang Zhong introduced her identity as a closed disciple to the media and the public on the first day of the exhibition, and she was also featured in the news. Photo.

But those who watched the exhibition were very self-conscious and of high quality, they didn't seem to make a fuss, and no one took the initiative to bother her.

Everyone just stayed in their own area silently admiring the paintings.

Xuan Zi enjoyed the atmosphere very much, thinking that the two people downstairs should be reminiscing about the past, and was about to go downstairs when he met a middle-aged man in a suit with blond hair and blue eyes and black-rimmed glasses. Happy, asked: "Excuse me, are you Miss Chu Xuanzi?"

Unexpectedly, this foreigner could speak fluent and pure Chinese dialect, Xuanzi nodded in surprise.

"Fortunately, I did not identify the wrong person. I am the executive vice president of Harlan Gallery, Peter Simpson."

The middle-aged man took out his business card and gave it to Xuan Zi.

Xuan Zi looked at the bronzing business card, on which was written a string of English words, which were the name of Harlan Gallery, the title and name of Mr. Peter, and the phone number.

"Mr. Peter, what can I do for you?"

Xuan Zi asked.

Harlan Gallery is one of the top five galleries in the world. It was established 50 years ago and is located in N City, Country M. So far, it has signed many top artists and holds hundreds of exhibitions every year. It is the most successful gallery that combines business and art. .

"I just saw ten of your paintings on display on the first floor. From your paintings, I can see your artistic attitude of daring to innovate and dare to challenge. I have to say that you are really a very talented newcomer artist."

Peter praised without hesitation.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Xuan Zi said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Miss Chu, I believe you have a certain understanding of our gallery, right?"

"Of course, Harlan Gallery is very famous even in China. I don't think there is any painter who doesn't know it."

Peter smiled and said, "That's good. In fact, I would like to ask, do you plan to sign a contract with the gallery? I want to sign you on behalf of our gallery."

"Harlan Gallery, want to sign me?"

"Yes, our gallery will also hold a personal exhibition for you. We will invite the world's top collectors to build your reputation and make your paintings known to more people."

There was a gleam of confidence in Peter's eyes.

No young artist can refuse such a temptation.

But what he didn't expect was that after hearing his words, Xuan Zi was not overjoyed, but just smiled lightly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have no plans to develop abroad yet."

Peter looked puzzled, "Harlan Gallery is the world's top gallery, such an invitation is a rare development opportunity for a young artist like you, don't you really think about it?"

Xuan Zi naturally understood that Peter was telling the truth.

As long as the artists who have exhibited at Harlan Gallery are popular, many of them have their own place in the world painting circle.

But if she signs a contract with Harlan Gallery, it means that she will need to stay in country M for the next few years, and cooperate with the gallery's planning and promotion when holding art exhibitions. This will not happen overnight.

She never thought of going to M country to live.

But Xuan Zi could not deny that this was a rare opportunity.

She pondered for a while, "Well, Mr. Peter, let me think about it. If I change my mind, I will call you."

"Alright, Miss Chu, if you have been hesitating, maybe you can discuss it with Teacher Huang Zhong. After all, he is also the one who came here."

Peter suggested.

"thanks, I will."

Xuan Zi said goodbye to Peter with a smile, and went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor.
