My bad ex-husband scolded me for being infertile? A wealthy man got married again and had two babies
Chapter 458 People who engage in art
Xu Yansang was both angry and amused. All the worries in her heart turned into anger. She hit his hand and said, "That's too much. You actually lied to me."
Fu Zhenzhuo hugged her reluctantly and bit her ear, "Who told you to leave me alone in the empty room last night?"
There was no way to argue about this matter, so Xu Yansang tactfully shut her mouth.
The man's hot lips had already kissed her.
The word "divorce" was like a sore spot for Fu Zhencuo. If she dared to say it out loud, he would torture her to death and make her have no energy to even mention divorce.
That night, Xu Yansang deeply experienced what a beast was. She didn't fall asleep until dawn, feeling sore all over.
Having gone to bed late and feeling tired, Xu Yansang had originally planned to take a nap in the morning. However, her biological clock made her wake up at 7:30 exactly. When she looked at the watch, she realized that she had slept for more than three hours.
Xu Yansang lay there unwillingly for a while. The more she wanted to sleep, the more she couldn't fall asleep. Finally, she was sure that she couldn't take a nap. She sighed and got up resignedly.
Since I can’t catch up on some sleep, I’ll go to the gallery.
She has arranged a lot of work today. In the morning, she needs to coordinate with Xu Ziqian on which paintings will be exhibited. In the afternoon, Liu Shuang has an appointment with the designers. She wants them to make some simple adjustments to the interior decoration of the gallery in accordance with Xu Ziqian's usual style, so that this exhibition can better highlight Xu Ziqian's personal style.
Originally, an art exhibition is to showcase the painter to the outside world. If it is done well, it can enhance the painter's status.
Xu Yansang arrived at the gallery on time before eight o'clock.
Liu Shuang seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time. When Xu Yansang walked to the front of the office, she saw Liu Shuang standing outside her office.
She asked in surprise, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Liu Shuang nodded, a little ashamed, "Boss, it's still because of Xingchen's matter."
Xu Yansang nodded, opened the office door, and said, "Come in and talk."
Liu Shuang followed in, and Xu Yansang asked, "Would you like some coffee?"
Liu Shuang was flattered. "Hello, thank you for troubling me, boss."
Xu Yansang was in urgent need of a cup of coffee to refresh herself, so she made some for Liu Shuang. She quickly came back with two cups of coffee, handed one to Liu Shuang, and then sat down opposite Liu Shuang.
Asked, "What happened to Liu Xingchen?"
Liu Shuang seemed to find it difficult to start, and after a while he said, "I called him yesterday but couldn't get through to him. I was worried that he might have been in trouble, so I went to various hospitals to look for him. Later, he answered my call and I learned that he had been heartbroken recently and might not have taken care of his health. He was very weak. The doctor told him to rest more these few days, so he asked me for a few days off."
Xu Yansang raised an eyebrow, she didn't expect that Liu Xingchen was actually heartbroken.
She asked Liu Shuang, "How many days off do you want?"
Liu Shuang said cautiously, "It's almost the weekend. I thought about adding the two days of the weekend and giving him a total of four days off. I'll let him come to work on time next Monday. What do you think?"
Xu Yansang hesitated for a moment and said, "If this is the case, he may not be able to participate in the preparations for Xu Ziqian's exhibition. I can only remove him from this event. Have you made this clear to him?"
Liu Shuang quickly said, "It's clear, he has no objection."
"That's good," Xu Yansang put down the coffee cup and looked at Liu Shuang and said, "Director Liu, you are also a manager. You should know that an employee's breakup should not be a reason for passive resistance. This time, I am doing this for your sake. I hope you can communicate with Liu Xingchen and don't let this happen again in the future."
Liu Shuang quickly said, "I understand, thank you, boss."
He bowed and walked out. Xu Yansang looked at the time and guessed that Xu Ziqian should have gotten up, so he called her.
Xu Ziqian's work and rest schedule did not fit her stereotype of artists. Before she met Xu Ziqian, she thought that artists would get inspiration in the middle of the night and sleep until the afternoon, following a reversed day and night pattern.
But Xu Ziqian is different. She gets up very early in the morning, works during the day, and makes sure she has some rest time at night.
To be honest, Xu Yansang admires people like this.
If she was like Xu Ziqian, working in a job with a high degree of freedom, she would probably play all day and cram for final exams at night.
The phone rang a few times before it was connected. Xu Ziqian's voice came over, "Hello?"
The voice was muffled and a little hoarse, as if he had just woken up.
Xu Yansang asked, "You haven't gotten up yet?"
"I'm up." Xu Ziqian's voice immediately returned to normal. She seemed to have sat up and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Xu Yansang smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you yesterday? Today we will check the works you want to exhibit. Did you forget?"
Xu Ziqian paused, "Last night...something happened, and I forgot about it. Do you want to come to me or should I go to you?"
"Let me come find you," Xu Yansang said, "Your works are all over at the studio, it will be more convenient for me to come find you."
"Okay," Xu Ziqian responded, "What time will you arrive?"
Xu Yansang glanced at her watch and said, "Ten o'clock, let me take care of some work before I go. I will definitely be there before ten o'clock."
"Okay." Xu Ziqian hung up the phone directly.
Xu Yansang put down her phone and started to get busy. Meanwhile, in Xu Ziqian's studio, she put down her phone in annoyance, walked into the lounge in her slippers, and threw back the quilt on the bed. She said unhappily, "Get up, Xu Yansang will be here soon, hurry up!"
The naked man on the bed was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, the quilt was lifted off him. He cursed impatiently, "Fuck you, bring the quilt to me!"
Xu Ziqian slapped the man in the face, the viciousness in her eyes was incompatible with her sweet appearance, "I f*cking told you to get up! Get out! If Xu Yansang comes and sees you, everything will be over for the lady!"
Jin Shuilong sat up, holding his painful left face. He finally realized what Xu Ziqian said and started to put on his clothes in shock. "Why the hell did you let Xu Yansang come here? How long will it take for her to get here? Could it be that she suspects us?"
Xu Ziqian looked at him unhappily, "Didn't I tell you last night that she would come to me today to check the list of paintings? You insisted that you would leave early today and definitely not let her run into you. Look at what time it is now?"
Jin Shuilong smiled and licked his face, pinching Xu Ziqian's thigh, "Aren't you just too charming?"
Xu Ziqian rolled her eyes and didn't want to say another word to him.
Last night she picked up a handsome young man in a bar, and they had sex in the bathroom of the bar. She thought she could finish it early and rest early, but she didn't expect Jin Shuilong to come.
Both of them worked for the young lady and had frequent interactions. Jin Shuilong was lustful and she was casual in this regard, so they had been together for a long time.
Although she was unwilling to serve, Jin Shuilong still forced her to do it twice.
After all this trouble, I went to bed a little late.
Before going to bed, Jin Shuilongsai patted his chest and promised herself that he would get up and leave early. As a result, if she hadn't lifted his quilt, the fat pig would still be sleeping soundly.
Xu Ziqian felt annoyed no matter how she looked at Jin Shuilong. She had no patience at all and walked out of the lounge directly. "You should leave quickly. She will arrive in 20 minutes."
Xu Yansang said ten o'clock, and it's only nine o'clock now. There is still an hour left, so it's not that urgent.
But Xu Ziqian was too lazy to deal with Jin Shuilong anymore, so he just drove him away to save trouble.
When Jin Shuilong heard that it would take 20 minutes, he turned pale with fright. He quickly put on his clothes and ran after her. While changing his shoes, he asked, "Why did she set the time so tight? Could she really be suspicious of us? I told you that it's unreliable for me to be a buyer of paintings. How can I be considered an artist? I'm more like an artist."
Xu Ziqian rolled her eyes, "She doesn't doubt it, don't worry."
Time was urgent, so Jin Shuilong didn't bother to worry about it. He changed his shoes and left immediately with his coat.
Xu Ziqian checked the studio inside and out, and only felt relieved after all traces left by Jin Shuilong were removed.
She washed and put on makeup slowly, waiting for Xu Yansang to arrive.
Xu Yansang was very punctual and arrived at Xu Ziqian's studio on time at 9:55.
Although the two have been working together for such a long time, they have never liked each other. As love rivals, Xu Ziqian's attitude towards Xu Yansang has always been lukewarm, while Xu Yansang has always felt a little disgusted with Xu Ziqian.
The two sat down face to face. Xu Yansang took out Xu Ziqian's work list and handed it to her. "These are some of the works I have temporarily selected. Do you want to remove or add any of them?"
Xu Ziqian glanced at them casually and said, "I'm fine with either. I can only give you a portion of the works you want now. The rest are at home. I'll send them to the gallery for you tomorrow."
Xu Yansang nodded, put away the work list, and said to Xu Ziqian, "I heard that you are working on a new painting recently. You released some details of this painting in the market in advance. Now many people are eyeing this painting. Everyone is looking forward to your painting surpassing your previous achievements and becoming your heavyweight masterpiece."
"Well," Xu Ziqian replied lazily, "Why? Don't ask me to draw this picture for you before the exhibition. I can't finish it."
Xu Yansang smiled, "I have already negotiated with several interested clients. If your painting can surpass your previous level, I can sell it for more than 30 million yuan."
Xu Ziqian was shocked. "How much? Thirty million?"
Of course she was shocked. In the past, the average price of her paintings was around one million, and the highest price was over ten million. But that was at an auction, and that painting was indeed beyond her usual level.
But now, her new paintings haven't come out yet, but Xu Yansang has already negotiated the price with the client, and her requirements are not high, as long as it exceeds her past standards - she is very confident that this painting has attracted so much attention before it is completed, and it will definitely be a big hit.
But even so...it's not worth 30 million.
"There are several collectors who are very interested in you. They like your work very much. People around you may not have helped you contact such collectors before. They are willing to pay a premium to get this work."
Xu Yansang answered Xu Ziqian's questions before asking her, "There are less than ten days left for the exhibition. Can you finish it?"
Xu Ziqian wanted to agree immediately, but when she thought about her recent assignment, she didn't think she had time to finish the painting.
"I..." It was difficult for her to refuse. She really loved painting and dreamed of reaching a higher level for her works.
Selling it at a high price of 30 million is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.
However, the things that the young lady has asked us to do must be done as soon as possible.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll try my best. If I can finish it, I'll exhibit it at the exhibition. If not, then forget it."
Xu Yansang smiled and said, "Okay."
In fact, those collectors did not require Xu Ziqian to complete the painting before the exhibition. They just wanted to get this already famous work. As for when it would be completed, that was not important.
But Xu Yansang needed Xu Ziqian's work to make this exhibition famous and at the same time to make the Qiusuo Gallery famous.
So she tricked Xu Ziqian, hoping that Xu Ziqian would not let her down.
After leaving Xu Ziqian's studio, Xu Yansang went to the hospital.
Zhai Jing has not yet come out of the intensive care unit.
Jian Congwen did not tell Zhai's father and mother that it was Xu Yansang who caused Zhai Jing to have a car accident, so Zhai's father and mother were extremely relieved when they saw Xu Yansang coming to visit Zhai Jing every day in the past two days.
Every time I see Xu Yansang, it’s like seeing my own child.
"Miss Xu, thank you for making another trip." Mother Zhai said embarrassedly, "Actually, I can go back to make lunch at noon, which won't delay anything. You are so busy at work, and you always send us lunch. It's really a bother for you."
In the past few days, Zhai's father and mother have been guarding outside the intensive care unit. They are both retired and have nothing to do, so they just stay here. Jian Congwen has even put aside his work and is also guarding here.
He said that Zhai Jing's situation in there was unclear and he couldn't concentrate on his work at the company, so it would be better for him to stay here and feel more at ease.
Xu Yansang felt guilty, and the only thing she could do was to bring them a meal at noon every day and check on Zhai Jing's situation.
"I have a long lunch break, so I'm just sitting there doing nothing." Xu Yansang replied nonchalantly, and asked Mother Zhai, "Auntie, is Jingjing still not awake?"
Mother Zhai's eyes turned red. She shook her head and tried to hold back her tears. She choked up and said, "Why is Jingjing so miserable? First, she was delayed for several years by that bastard Kangping. Now she is finally together with Congwen, but she has to face something like this. It's really killing me and your uncle."
Xu Yansang could only comfort her, "Auntie, Jingjing is very lucky. Don't cry. Her good days are still ahead. As long as she gets over this hurdle, she won't be afraid of anything in the future."
Mother Zhai took out a tissue and wiped her eyes, sighing, "I thought so too, but this girl is still reluctant to wake up..."
Before he could finish his words, the door of the intensive care unit suddenly opened, and a young nurse said with joy, "Family members of Zhai Jing, Zhai Jing's vital signs have stabilized. Please prepare, she will be transferred to the general ward in a while."
