"Hey! Teacher Fang, are you coming to see the fun?"

Fang Xia was worried that he had only served it for two days, and that the job that was not yet hot might be taken away, when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

Fang Xia and Fu Jin turned their heads at the same time, looking for the sound.

A young man walked up to him in twos and threes.This person is not tall, but well-proportioned. He is wearing a neat royal blue suit, showing a touch of suaveness.With his hands in his pockets and a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, he stood leisurely in front of Fang Xia.

"Boss Wei." Fang Xia shouted.

The person who came was the owner of this Dongshi studio——Wei Shuhua.

After Fang Xia called people, he remembered what the other party said when he greeted him before, and asked suspiciously: "What's the excitement? This job fair?"

If it refers to the studio's wide recruitment of teachers, Fang Xia thinks that it is not a bustling event for him, but a job crisis!

"Do you know who these people are?" Wei Shuhua took off his sunglasses, went to rest in the lobby and raised his chin, "The top students in the Academy of Fine Arts, the little transparent people in the art circle, I begged them before, and they didn't have many Take a look at the characters in my studio."

"Then why are they rushing to apply for the job now?" Fang Xia asked.

"Because I gave a benefit to the teachers in our studio - VIP tickets to the Cangli Gallery. As long as they are teachers in the studio, everyone has a share." Wei Shuhua played with the sunglasses in his hand, and glanced at Fang Xia who stared wide-eyed. , "What? Didn't you see it when the group informed you yesterday? Forget it, now I've told you, and you know it too. I also got involved in this year's Cangli Gallery exhibition. The boss of Cangli gave me a lot of money. Most of my friends are not interested in the lack of VIP tickets, and I don’t have any familiar artists to give them, so I gave them as benefits to the teachers in our studio. The news spread today, and it turned out—these are not qualified to get tickets Artists who have come here hurried to apply for the job.”

Wei Shuhua called them artists, but he was actually mocking them. These people still can't bear the title of "artists".However, those who are newcomers in the circle, or those students who have not yet graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, neither can get a direct invitation from Cangli Gallery, nor do they have contacts to get VIP tickets, so they come to the studio to apply for a job. I hope to gain the status of a studio teacher and get the opportunity to enter the exhibition of the first three days of Cangli Gallery.

Wei Shuhua hung his sunglasses on the pocket of his suit jacket, "So I hurried back to watch the excitement."

"You don't intend to hire them?" The meaning in Wei Shuhua's words was obvious, and Fang Xia understood it without thinking too much, and immediately felt that her job was secure again.

Wei Shuhua glanced at the people in the rest area of ​​the hall from the corner of his eye, and looked towards him frequently. He raised his hand and Xia Bi made a silent movement, turned around and walked upstairs, and at the same time motioned for Fang Xia to follow.

"I'll ask someone to have an interview first. If you really want to come to the studio to be a teacher, you'll be hired if your level is good. Anyway, the studio is already recruiting teachers. As for those who come to cheat VIP tickets—" Wei Shuhua showed his thick white teeth when he said this , "Then let it go back to nature."

Fang Xia: "The boss is wise."

Wei Shuhua: "It's too much."

Fang Xia: "Then can I ask you for an extra VIP ticket?"

Wei Shuhua rolled his eyes: "You know that once you flatter me, there must be something waiting for me."

"Just say it's okay."

Fang Xia has been working part-time in this studio for almost two years. Even though Wei Shuhua doesn't come to the studio often, he still recognizes Fang Xia. The two of them are not good friends, but they have a good relationship. Ordinary friends barely get along. Fang Xia also had something to say to Wei Shuhua.

Wei Shuhua looked at Fang Xia and asked, "You don't want to resell, do you?"

Fang Xia: "I asked for it for my friend—how about you give me one for reselling?"

"Get out!" Wei Shuhua rubbed his fingers and thought for a while, "Okay, I'll give you one more."

"Thank you boss." After Fang Xia finished speaking, she turned her head and left.

"Hey! What do you mean by turning your head and walking away? You are the one who thanked the boss so much?" Wei Shuhua shouted unhappily.

"Urgent urination! The bathroom!" Fang Xia didn't turn her head.After drinking Fu Jin's two cups of tea, it turned out that the amount was a bit too much, and his bladder was full.

Fang Xia and Geng Shudan were still troubled by the VIP tickets before, but Wei Shuhua didn't want to just solve them. For the trip to Cangli Gallery on the weekend, everything was ready, and they just waited for the exhibition time to come.

The day before the exhibition, the studio began a five-day suspension of classes.After watching the hustle and bustle of the studio job fair for a few days, Wei Shuhua, who was in a good mood, summoned the studio staff on a whim, held an open-air afternoon tea on the lawn in front of the studio, and handed out the VIP tickets of Cangli Gallery to the studio teacher .

Fang Xia originally planned to send the ticket to Geng Shudan after the afternoon tea was over - he would not go to the Cangli Gallery tomorrow with Geng Shudan.Tomorrow, these studio teachers have to go there with Wei Shuhua, and go through a formality in front of the media. In fact, this is not necessary, it is entirely Wei Shuhua's use to anger those "artists" he calls.

After Geng Shudan heard Fang Xia talk about the situation on the phone, he didn't let him make that trip, and asked Fang Xia for the address of the studio directly, and came to pick it up by himself.

As soon as Fang Xia put a small plate of heart-shaped chocolates in front of Fu Jin, Geng Shudan arrived.

"This can be considered candy, but I can't put it in a sealed jar for you, so I can only take a look here." Fang Xia whispered to Fu Jin, "I'll go and give the ticket to Geng Shudan first, and I'll be right back."

Fang Xia ran out of the lawn, walked towards Geng Shudan standing on the edge of the lawn, and handed the envelope containing the VIP ticket to Geng Shudan.

"Well, here it is for you."

Geng Shudan took the envelope and asked, "Who is your boss? Let me thank him."

Fang Xia turned around and looked for the figure of his boss on the lawn, and soon found someone at the table near the main entrance of the studio.Wei Shuhua was surrounded by several employees. He stretched out his arms and kept fiddling with the angle of his mobile phone.

"Over there, the one who is busy taking selfies." Fang Xia pointed to Wei Shuhua, and introduced to Geng Shudan, "Our boss, Wei Shuhua, likes to take selfies and post them on Moments."

After finishing speaking, Fang Xia took out her mobile phone, opened Moments, and as expected, she saw Wei Shuhua's just-posted message with just one swipe.

——Afternoon tea in the open air.

——Selfie with Jiugongge.

Geng Shudan: "..."

In the end, Geng Shudan went over to thank Wei Shuhua, but left without chatting much.It was the afternoon tea for the staff of the studio. As an outsider, he didn't intend to participate, and he didn't want to disturb others for too long.

Not long after Geng Shudan left, Wei Shuhua received a call.

The person who called was Chu Ji, who was also a member of their rich second generation.But this person is not someone like Wei Shuhua, he is an industrialist, the person in charge of a family company, who appears in a series of business celebrity magazines every day.Comparing the rich second generation group to a pyramid, the lower half of the pyramid is the herbivorous family, the upper half is the carnivorous family, and Chu Ji is the top figure in the upper half of the pyramid, the predator in the rich second generation.

Although Wei Shuhua said that he had met Chu Ji and exchanged contact information, they did not belong to the same category. The circles he usually played with were far apart, and——Wei Shuhua was more or less timid about people like Chu Ji, So there is basically no personal contact

Wei Shuhua was asked on the phone in a foggy voice, and then the other party told him that he was going to come to participate in the art exhibition of Cangli Gallery in C City.

Looking at the phone that had already been hung up, Wei Shuhua was at a loss—he remembered that this guy had no interest in art, why did he suddenly want to come to the art exhibition?

On March 3th, the weather in C City was fine, and the exhibition of Cangli Gallery officially started.

Fang Xia and several studio teachers accompanied Wei Shuhua to the Cangli Gallery. After showing his face in front of the media at the door, Wei Shuhua sent him away for free activities.

Fang Xia and his fellow colleagues who declined several studio teachers, and Fu Jin went to the first floor of the main gallery building - Fang Xia and Geng Shudan made an appointment to meet there.

Fang Xia arrived at the main building of the gallery and found that besides the appointment Geng Shudan, Zhou Lu was also there.

Zhou Lu's complexion improved a lot, and the whole person looked much brighter.

Fang Xia greeted the two of them, and then asked Zhou Lu: "Which exhibition hall are the batch of unpublished paintings mentioned earlier?"

"I don't know about that either." Zhou Lu shook her head and said, "It is said that they are placed in different exhibition halls. But those paintings are all oil paintings, so you should be able to find them in the exhibition hall where oil paintings are displayed."

Geng Shudan opened the distribution map of the gallery exhibition hall in his hand, and found that the oil painting exhibition hall was divided into east and west areas, so he said to Fang Xia: "You find the east area, and I will go to the west area."

Fang Xia: "Then compare who will find it first?"

Geng Shudan: "...do you think this competition is fair?"

Fang Xia glanced at Fu Jin, and after seeing Fu Jin nodding in agreement to help, she said without changing her expression, "Fair."

Geng Shudan: "..." Are the ghosts that the Geng family suppressed in the past dynasties used to do this kind of thing?Before Fang Xia, he didn't dare to imagine that the guards would ask Fu Jin to help with such trivial matters so bluntly.I don't know what Fu Jin is thinking...

"Let's compare..." Geng Shudan put away the layout plan, "When you find it, contact me immediately."

Fang Xia: "Success!"

"I can ask... why are you looking for those unpublished paintings?" Zhou Lu asked, looking around between the two of them.

"Just curious, I want to see it. After all, it is an unpublished painting, and there is not much information on the Internet." Geng Shudan said with a smile.

Zhou Lu didn't really believe it. Fang Xia is a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, so it's no surprise that he is interested in painting, but this Geng Shudan is not like it.He hadn't shown any interest in any paintings or artwork until she mentioned the unpublished ones.However, since people don't want to talk about it, Zhou Lu is not an uninterested person, so she didn't continue to ask.

"I'll take a look at the newcomer exhibition first, and I'll help you find it later, and I'll contact you when I find it." After Zhou Lu finished speaking, she headed towards the newcomer exhibition.

Before Zhou Lu had gone far, Fang Xia faintly heard a commotion coming from the main entrance of the gallery.

"What's going on outside?" Fang Xia looked in the direction of coming in suspiciously.

"Probably some important person came and caused a commotion in the media." As for what important person came, Geng Shudan didn't have much interest in guessing, "Hurry up and find out the wrong painting as soon as possible."

"See you later." Fang Xia withdrew her gaze, waved her hands, turned around first, and walked towards the oil painting gallery in the East District.
