poppies in the attic

48.

Wu Pengzhi took the client to Xiangjin's coffee shop, and she also understood the spirit of senior sister Huayue, and the fat and water did not flow to outsiders.Wherever you drink coffee, you are talking about business. Business is the key point, and the coffee shop is just a scene.

More importantly, the choice of venue can reflect personal taste. Wu Pengzhi trusted Xiang Jin's taste, so he brought the guests over.

When the coffee was brought to the table, Wu Pengzhi looked seriously at the coffee cup designed by Jin for the first time, because everyone was very happy and were taking photos and posting them to Moments.

It may be deliberate, each of the three people at the same table has a different cup.The coffee cup is a delicate floral pattern, and the complete pattern can only be seen when the cup and saucer are connected.Therefore, cups and saucers cannot be mixed.

Wu Pengzhi carefully looked at the cup in front of him, it was a purple flower, Xiang Jin likes purple.However, Wu Pengzhi couldn't name him.

"This is an iris." The waiter explained, obviously many people will ask questions, so the waiters have been trained. "The designer said that the way the petals of the iris unfold is the most special, opening like a book."

That's what Ah Jin said.Wu Pengzhi thought proudly.She likes Xiang Jin's explanation, how special it is, it is a language that only painters can think of.

"Mine is special." The other pointed to his glass.

Everyone leaned over, and it turned out that there was a chrysanthemum lying on the narrow edge of the saucer, and an empty glass vase was on the cup.

Wu Pengzhi smiled knowingly.She knew where Xiang Jin's inspiration came from, it was from the "Poppy in the Attic".The poppy in that painting is just lying on the floor, behind it is an empty vase hidden in the dark.

"This is a question. Is this poppy just taken out of the vase? Or is it going to be inserted?" Xiang Jin explained to Wu Pengzhi at the time. "Everyone will have a different answer."

"None of you are as excited as my cup." The tea drinker took the conversation not to be outdone.

Sure enough, hers was a sketch of a naked woman.A seductive woman lies beside the narrow saucer, and a half-length sketch of a reserved woman is on the cup. Turn the cup to a certain angle, and you almost feel that the woman is looking at the woman lying in front of you.

In fact, only Wu Pengzhi could feel this subtle look in his eyes. Most people's intuition is that the same woman is on the cup and saucer.

Xiang Jin is definitely a talented painter. Although she has repeatedly stated that she does not draw people, in fact, her figure paintings have a special charm.So it's not accidental that Xiang Jin got to where he is today.

After seeing off the guests, Wu Pengzhi continued to stay in the cafe, and she invited Xiang Jin out, she wanted to hear Xiang Jin's explanation.

While waiting, a very young girl walked into the cafe, like a student, holding a paper-wrapped object in her hand. "Hello, may I ask, is Ms. Xiang there?" There was timidity and shyness in the voice.

"It's still you. Sorry, Ms. Xiang is not here. You are really out of luck." The waiter obviously already knew the girl.

Wu Pengzhi looked at the girl curiously, his mind spinning rapidly.Instinctively, Wu Pengzhi felt that the paper bag in her hand contained her paintings.

"I can help you transfer the painting to Ms. Xiang or Mr. Wen." The waiter kindly suggested.There are really paintings in there.

The girl blushed all of a sudden and shook her head in panic. "No, no, I'll try again next time."

Wu Pengzhi observed the girl's expression thoughtfully.Moreover, Wu Pengzhi felt a little sympathetic to this girl.The main reason is that her timid expression softened Wu Pengzhi's heart.Haven't we all begged so lowly before?Wu Pengzhi doesn't like domineering young people, but likes girls who seem weak but are firm.

Wu Pengzhi decided to help her.So when the girl turned her head to go out, she stood up and took two steps towards the girl.

"Hey, you can wait a minute, Ms. Xiang will be here in a while."

Both the girl and the waiter turned to look at Wu Pengzhi in surprise.

"Oh, I just made an appointment with Ms. Xiang for coffee." Wu Pengzhi said to the girl with a smile.Then signal to the girl that she can sit at her table and wait.

The girl sat down timidly but full of expectation.Thanks again and again to Wu Pengzhi.

"Will Ms. Xiang really come?" The girl looked at Wu Pengzhi enviously.

Wu Pengzhi thought it was funny. Could it be that he had attracted a competitor?It was clear that the girl was Xiang Jin's little fan girl.

"Of course." Then Wu Pengzhi glanced out the window, "Look, she's here."

Xiang Jin did indeed come, wearing that denim jacket, holding the car keys in his hand, and carrying a leather backpack on one shoulder, which was usually filled with sketchbooks and paintbrushes.Xiang Jin walked in leisurely.

The girl got up quickly, bowed respectfully to Xiang Jin, and called out "Ms. Xiang."

Xiang Jin stopped in her tracks and looked at the girl and Wu Pengzhi suspiciously.

"Xiaoqin has a painting to show you, and she has come to you many times." Wu Pengzhi introduced.The girl's name is Wang Xiaoqin.

"Oh, are you going to participate in the new artist's art exhibition? Just hand over the paintings to Mr. Wen." Xiang Jin answered briefly.This is one of the things she wants to do when she comes back to China, which is to select some young painters with potential, create opportunities for them, and form a more dynamic cutting-edge studio.Wen Shaohui's specific operation, he will do the first round of screening for the paintings and these young people.

"I, I have already shown my paintings to Mr. Wen, and I still want to show them to Ms. Xiang." Xiaoqin explained stammeringly.

Wu Pengzhi knew that Xiaoqin's painting had been rejected by Wen Shaohui.

"Oh, then show me." Xiang Jin was not surprised, as she sat down, she motioned for Xiaoqin to open her work.

Xiaoqin began to unwrap the wrapped paper, a little flustered.

Seeing Xiaoqin so nervous, Wu Pengzhi couldn't help but squat down and help her take out the painting carefully.

Looking at the paintings, Xiang Jin frowned slightly.

Wu Pengzhi also sighed secretly, even if she doesn't know how to paint, she still knows that such paintings are really not attractive.One even looked like an imitation of Xiang Jin's painting, but it was nothing like that at all.

"How long have you been painting?" Xiang Jin asked.

"I only love drawing since I was a child, and I started learning at the age of 8. I just graduated from university this year. I want to continue my studies. I have no other hobbies. I want to learn painting from you. Your paintings are so beautiful."

After carefully looking at the most decent painting among them, Xiang Jin raised her eyes expressionlessly, and said to Xiaoqin, "Do you want to hear a piece of advice from me?"
