poppies in the attic

32.

When Xiang Guozhi walked into the gallery, no one noticed her except Wu Pengzhi.She walked in quietly, like a visitor.

Wen Shaohui suddenly stopped talking, and followed her with his eyes with a smile. The time was long enough to draw everyone's attention to this woman.

Xiangguozhi's hair is coiled up high, and he wears a simple black stand-up collar shirt, a beige vest, and black trousers. His body is thin, so he looks slender than it actually is.

Xiang Guozhi has a plain face, without any attempt to hide the fine wrinkles; his lips are pursed, without a smile; his enigmatic expression is like indifference that has nothing to do with him, and indifference as if no one else is there.He didn't look at anyone, but looked sideways at the paintings on the wall, as if admiring someone else's work.

Wu Pengzhi knew in his heart that Xiang Jin was not trying to be cool, but just hiding his discomfort.Wu Pengzhi smiled slightly, it was still Xiang Jin.

Everyone's eyes shot over.

Xiang Guozhi stopped helplessly, stood in the middle of the exhibition hall, and looked back at Wen Shaohui.

Wen Shaohui smiled, raised his hand as a gesture of introduction, and raised his voice, "I am honored to introduce to you, this is our heroine today, Ms. Xiang Guozhi."

There was a slight exclamation from the audience, and everyone's spirits were lifted.

"Please tell us a few words from Guozhi." Wen Shaohui did not move his body, did not walk to Xiang Guozhi's side, but once again drew everyone's attention to the female painter.

"Uh, hello everyone, I'm Xiang Guozhi. In fact, I fell in love with painting because I can't sing or speak. So you might as well look at my paintings. What I want to say is in my paintings." Xiang Guo Zhi's voice was not loud, but clear, and his expression looked both shy and confident.

Someone applauded gently, and everyone followed suit.

"Ms. Xiang, could you please tell me about this painting "Poppies in the Attic"?" It was a woman standing in front of the painting who spoke.Most of the people who come to the exhibition are women.It seems that the main force of consumption in the cultural market has gradually shifted to women.

Xiang Guozhi followed the voice and turned his face to the painting, and what he saw was Wu Pengzhi standing in front of the painting.

And Wu Peng looked at Xiang Guozhi with astonishment, seemingly caught off guard.It was not Wu Pengzhi who asked the question, but a stranger around Wu Pengzhi.

"Ms. Xiang, what does this painting show?" Judging from Xiang Guozhi's gaze, the woman quickly added that she had misidentified the person.

Xiang Guozhi immediately adjusted his gaze, and smiled apologetically at the woman.Wu Pengzhi discovered that Xiang Jin's first smile today was for a stranger.

"Well... this attic is my former studio, and there is a poppy flower." Xiang Guozhi's explanation means that he didn't say anything.

"What does the poppy mean?"

"The poppies are beautiful."

Someone laughed.

"What about this glass of water? Why is there a glass of water?" This woman is really keen and persistent.

He smiled at Guo Zhi, and at the same time glanced quickly at Wu Pengzhi's face, "This is a glass of ice water, for quenching thirst and cooling down."

More people laughed, and everyone was amused by Xiang Guozhi.Xiang Guo used practical actions to prove that what she just said is true, her paintings are more expressive than words.

Wen Shaohui saw that the effect was almost done, so he interjected, "This lady has good eyesight, and this is her famous work. It is because of this painting that she was easily admitted to the University of New Mexico, and we became Classmate. Everyone wants to know why as a classmate, she became a famous painter, but I became an agent?"

Everyone's attention was taken away by Wen Shaohui again.In stark contrast to Xiang Guozhi is eloquence.

"I was still a young man full of ambition, and the first thing I said to this beautiful female classmate was, can you be my model?" Everyone listened with gusto.

"It was the same expression as it is now."

Following Wen Shaohui's words, everyone turned their heads to look at Guo Zhi.This is Wen Shaohui's trick, he just wants this kind of effect of controlling the atmosphere and emotions, a dramatic rhythm.

Xiang Guozhi was playing with his slender fingers idly, when he suddenly heard Wen Shaohui mentioning himself again, he frowned and looked up at Wen Shaohui dissatisfied.

"I said to Guozhi confidently, being my model, I will be a character in the future! And Guozhi replied dismissively, saying that she never wastes time on meaningless things. Unfortunately, Guozhi is That's right, she didn't work as a model, but seized the time to become a character, and I became the agent of this character. That's it." Wen Shaohui smiled self-deprecatingly, showing his white and neat teeth.

Everyone laughed, and some applauded.Wen Shaohui is very pleasing to women, clean and gentle, humorous and tasteful.

His pitch is not over yet.When he returns home this time, he has a complete plan.

"My cooperation with Guo Zhi started when we were classmates. We both had a common goal, earning money for tuition and food. I soon discovered that my talent was not in painting, but in being an agent. We At that time, the largest amount of money she earned was to design the pattern of their coffee cups for a chain coffee shop. During that time, Guo was very obsessed with painting flowers, so she designed a whole set of patterns of coffee cups and saucers, using various The flowers, poppies, lilies, pansies, etc., are beautiful. They sold for a good price then."

Wen Shaohui stopped again, and suddenly pointed out the glass window, "Did you see that cafe? All the guests who are here today, if you are interested, you can go there to drink a cup of coffee and eat a piece of cake for free. You have to take a good look at those coffee shops. The coffee cups are all designed by Guo Zhi himself.”

Wu Pengzhi watched Wen Shaohui speak with eloquence, stirring up everyone's emotions with ease, and felt a little uncomfortable.She thought she was quite capable now, but suddenly, her confidence disappeared again.

And what about Xiang Jin?By the way, it should be called Xiang Guozhi now.Xiang Guozhi trusts Wen Shaohui very much.She let Wen Shaohui tell stories about herself without saying a word.Even with the show.

Even if it's a real show, it's a show, isn't it?
