poppies in the attic

57.

Before the two of them started their European trip, Xiang Jin and Wen Shaohui had another dispute, and it was quite fierce.The cause was actually that little piano.

It is said that Xiang Jin still obeyed Wu Pengzhi in the end, and recruited Xiaoqin to work in the gallery, not as a cooperating young painter, but as a staff member.Although it was the second best thing, Xiaoqin accepted the job with joy, which moved Xiang Jin a little.A young man with persistence and faith, shouldn't he give some encouragement?Even just some comfort is good.

Wu Pengzhi strongly pushed Xiaoqin into the gallery because he had his own selfish motives.She hopes to have an eyeliner to observe Wen Shaohui's behavior.Although I can't expect much, Xiaoqin's position is too low.

However, Xiaoqin itself made Wu Pengzhi see the problem.Wen Shaohui paid Xiaoqin an astonishingly low salary.

So Xiang Jin and Wen Shaohui had a dispute, why should they be so mean to these young people.Wen Shaohui disdainfully criticized Xiang Jin's ignorance of the market, "Manpower is not a monopoly market, it is a market of free competition, and the price is determined by the market. This is the salary level now. If she doesn't do it, there will naturally be others. Willing to do it."

In the end, Wen Shaohui softened his attitude, "This is the salary of the internship period, and the salary can be increased after half a year."

"You let her live with this salary for half a year? She doesn't even have enough rent."

"That's her business. Without this job, wouldn't she be alive?" Wen Shaohui said almost indifferently. "Okay, Grace, don't worry about her, you should pay more attention to the works of those young painters. You give them more guidance. I think two of them are quite good."

Xiang Jin was very uncomfortable with Wen Shaohui's tone.She felt that she might have been influenced by Wu Pengzhi, and she couldn't agree with Wen Shaohui's way of doing things now.She intuited that Wen Shaohui had not been back to China for a long time, but he quickly adapted to some irregular things in the country, and even accepted them readily.

When it comes to guiding young people, Xiang Jin is not a person who likes to be a teacher.She discusses many issues with you, but gives very little guidance.Xiang Jin feels that the most important thing for an artist is to express his own style and emotion, not for others to point to.

On the contrary, these young people liked Xiang Jin very much, and thought she was cool and sensible.

Only the pretty girl named Amy doesn't like Xiang Jin because she likes Wen Shaohui.

According to Xiaoqin, Wen Shaohui also treats Amy very special, which has already made everyone unhappy.It's just that no one dared to gossip with Xiang Jin.

"I think you're paying too much attention to Amy. She's not the most talented one." Under Wu Pengzhi's repeated reminders, Xiang Jin didn't expose Xiaoqin's informant.

"But Amy will be the easiest one to package. A young and beautiful woman doesn't need too great a work, she is a work and a topic. A beautiful young female painter, what else is missing? You just need to guide her to put It’s fine to make the works more pleasing. For example, those flowers, cats and dogs, etc., are all themes that everyone likes to see. Leave the rest to me.” Wen Shaohui said triumphantly.

Xiang Jin stared at Wen Shaohui, feeling weird, and suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if choking on a mouthful of bitter tea, and suddenly felt alienated and unfamiliar with Wen Shaohui.Wen Shaohui also said similar views before, but he has never been so outspoken.

"If you want to focus on Amy because she is young and beautiful, then I have nothing to say."

Wen Shaohui suddenly approached Xiang Jin's face, with a smug smile, "Grace, are you jealous?"

Seeing Xiang Jin standing there in a daze, Wen Shaohui smiled even more proudly, "Amy likes me, the kids these days are so bold and straightforward, I can hardly stand it anymore. But, Grace, you know how much I love you, As long as you say a word, I can give up anything."

With a headache, Xiang Jin had to admit that Wu Pengzhi was right.Wen Shaohui didn't give up at all.It's just that she really doesn't understand what Wen Shaohui likes about her.

"Shaohui, you are just paranoid. As I said, we are not suitable. I will not fall in love with my collaborators."

"I have done so much for you and waited for you for so many years, I just want to know why you can't fall in love with me."

"Why did you do so much for me? Aren't we cooperating? Isn't it the distribution of benefits?"

For a moment, the smile completely disappeared from Wen Shaohui's face, but it came back soon.

"Since you only want to maintain this cooperative relationship, then as you wish, we will continue to cooperate."

Wen Shaohui left soon after speaking.But he felt humiliated again in his heart.Xiang Jin was right. He couldn't tell what proportion of his pursuit of Xiang Jin was out of love and what proportion was due to paranoia.Or, he has an obsession with playing the role of "Love Saint", and he even mainly wants to move himself.

Another displeased thing about Wen Shaohui was that Xiang Jin actually thought that the two of them were a fair deal and a cooperative relationship, and he didn't even admit that it was Wen Shaohui's dedication to her.

"I'll let Xiang Jin see who can't live without whom?" Wen Shaohui secretly made up his mind to teach Xiang Jin a lesson.The most urgent task is to make Amy popular.Turn her into another cash cow for himself.
