Little Wolf Cub of the Ginger Demon King
Chapter 48
Jiang Lai hasn't seen Jiang Bicheng for a long time, and he hasn't even heard his voice since he was blocked on WeChat.Seeing him here now, with a young, rosy pregnant woman sitting beside him, Jiang Lai suddenly felt thirsty and angry.
"Calm down," Shao Fanghua lowered his voice next to Jiang Lai's ear, and pushed him a little, "Since Boss Wei wants to treat guests, then I'll welcome an extra child."
According to Shao Fanghua's age, it's not surprising that there is a junior like Jiang Lai in the family.
Wei Shumin got up immediately, directly ignoring Jiang Bicheng's reaction when he saw the child just now, and greeted the guests enthusiastically with his stomach upright, "Mr. Shao, you are too polite, you have given me great face by being able to come."
Shao Fanghua smiled, motioned for Jiang Lai to sit down, took off his coat and handed it to the waiter, and asked Wei Shumin with a smile after taking his seat, "Is your baby coming soon?"
"Well," Wei Shumin's eyes were red, she took Jiang Bicheng's arm, and her temples rubbed against the man's body, "The confinement apartment has been booked, and the shop here just opened, and I'm going to rest next week."
"Wow, Boss Wei is young and his family and business have both harvests." Shao Fanghua admired, his eyes glowed, and he glanced at Jiang Bicheng inadvertently, making him shiver, "This store sells paintings and catering, it must make money."
Wei Shumin smiled so much that her eyes curled up, "Thanks to Teacher Shao, the newly opened store doesn't make much money, and it's barely enough for the family."
"Then your household expenses are big enough, and your quality of life must be good." Shao Fanghua kept smiling and poured Jiang Lai a cup of tea.
"Oh, I forgot to ask Teacher Shao, this is you..." Wei Shumin seemed to be aware of Jiang Lai's existence suddenly.
Shao Fanghua patted Jiang Lai who had been silent all the time, and smiled, "This one, you don't blame this one if you don't know him well, but you are familiar with his father."
"Ah?" Wei Shumin narrowed her eyes, smiled and cast her gaze on Jiang Bicheng, "I know you?"
Jiang Bicheng's face was like a traffic light, he closed his eyes, rested his forehead with one hand, and asked after a while, "Xiao Lai, why are you here?"
Jiang Lai was still silent, Wei Shumin immediately realized who the boy opposite was.
It's all because the boy at this age has changed so much. The last time Wei Shumin saw Jiang Lai was when he broke his leg and was lying in the hospital.At that time, Wei Shumin was Jiang Bicheng's new assistant, trying his best to stick to Boss Jiang's body, and hadn't paid much attention to this little boy.
Later, Jiang Bicheng became her Wei Shumin's pocket, and she even despised this child and his noble mother.What's more, Jiang Bicheng's divorce with his ex-wife and the distribution of property went very smoothly, and she didn't even have time to hide from her snickering.
In the past ten months, Bi Shumin has been immersed in the joy of being a new mother. She moved her family to Q City, bought a new house for a wedding, opened a gallery for catering, and was extremely busy.
At this moment, suddenly seeing Jiang Bicheng and his ex-wife's child, Wei Shumin suddenly felt like eating flies, and the morning sickness that had disappeared for a long time came back.
"I'm sorry," Shao Fanghua looked at Wei Shumin and Jiang Bicheng's appearance, and secretly laughed, "It's not that I sincerely brought a child to disgust you, I only found out about the divorce of Xiao Lai's parents yesterday. It's also my fault that I didn't attend Boss Wei's wedding , I don’t know that your lover is Boss Jiang. Haha, it’s all fate. No, Boss Wei has asked me out many times, but I’m too embarrassed to keep refusing. I’m just a stinky painter, and I still have to count on you art dealers Give me a way to survive. I brought my child here today because I have business to do."
Although Wei Shumin was extremely unwilling to eat at the same table with Jiang Bicheng and his ex-wife's children, Shao Fanghua's face could not be torn apart.
Shao Fanghua is at the peak of his creation. A random painting can easily cost several million. If he saves it for a few years before selling it, he can transfer hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars inside and out, which is more profitable than investing in gold.
Wei Shumin considers herself a businessman, and will not struggle with money.
"Ah, Xiao Lai, you've grown so big and tall, are your legs better?" Wei Shumin immediately put on her mother's smile and reached out to pull Jiang Lai.
Seeing that the other party was a pregnant woman, Jiang Lai resisted not pushing her away, but gently shook his arm away and curled his lips.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in your family affairs, I'm really here to sell paintings." Shao Fanghua smiled and tapped the table with his fingers.
"Mr. Shao, are you finally willing to give me the painting? You can mention the price as you like." After hearing Shao Fanghua's words, Wei Shumin immediately put aside all the past, sat back in the chair with eyes shining, and waited seriously for the next step.
"Well, make a pair, I personally like it too much, but I think you have a vision that is worth having."
"Did you mean "Sunset Glow"?" Wei Shumin's eyes widened in anticipation.
"No, it's "Dark Cloud"." Shao Fanghua's lips curled slightly.
""Dark Cloud"?" Wei Shumin was rummaging through Shao Fanghua's works in recent years, and she was sure that there was no one with this name.
"It's Xiao Lai's work..."
"I..." Jiang Lai was about to interrupt.
"Hmm..." Shao Fanghua held Jiang Lai under the table, signaling him not to talk too much, "From a professional point of view, it is very beautiful. Although it is a little immature, it is very interesting. You must not invest in this work." deficit."
Wei Shumin's shoulders sank obviously, and the tip of her slightly sweaty nose was greasy. Anyone could see that she was very reluctant.
"Boss Wei, this opportunity is rare. If you don't want it, someone will snatch it away." Shao Fanghua resorted to aggressive tactics.
"Who?" Wei Shumin became alert.
"Boss Jiang, haha, how meaningful is my son's Virgo to collect."
As soon as Shao Fanghua spoke, Jiang Lai felt Jiang Bicheng's sharp eyes cast on him.
Almost two years ago, he had a big fight with Jiang Bicheng because he couldn't get used to this kind of look.At this moment, it was very strange, there was no waves and waves, and I didn't have much emotion.
"Then make an offer." Wei Shumin didn't know what she was thinking, but she finally said this after a while.
"Your art dealers are almost gamblers mentality. You dare to lose chips to make money in the future. I said the price is a bit inappropriate, you think it yourself. But I think, why can't you just take 5 yuan this time? right?"
The [-] that Shao Fanghua mentioned was the living expenses that Jiang Bicheng paid to Jiang Lai in one lump sum when he and Xue Man divorced.
At that time, Jiang Bicheng only thought that Jiang Lai would become an adult in a short time, and he never thought that if he stayed one grade, he would have to go to high school for one year longer than others, let alone four years of university waiting for him.Learning to paint is more expensive.
Speaking of this, Wei Shumin knew why Shao Fanghua showed up with Jiang Lai today.Ganqing is here to help this child discuss living expenses.
Wei Shumin held her breath in her chest, gritted her teeth and stepped on Jiang Bicheng under the table. After a long time, she let out a little breath, "6 yuan, I believe Teacher Shao's vision."
"One hundred thousand," Shao Fanghua smiled, and took a sip of tea calmly, "I believe in my own vision more than you. Boss Jiang wants 15."
The corners of Jiang Lai's mouth hooked unconsciously, fearing that Jiang Bicheng would see it, he quickly covered his head with his hands.
Jiang Bicheng has been the master of the wind and cloud for half his life, Jiang Lai has never seen him so embarrassingly mixed in the bargaining of two women, it is too ugly.
"Okay, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand, but I've agreed, this is the last hundred thousand." Wei Shumin clenched her fists tightly, her molars itching to swallow it raw.
Shao Fanghua smiled lightly, "Whether it's the last time or not is not something you and I can decide now. Xiao Lai is only a little older, and the future is promising, and it will only be harder to find than my painting."
Wei Shumin had hardly seen Jiang Lai's paintings, but since Shao Fanghua had said so, she felt a little apprehensive.
"Let's pay half of the deposit today. After the exhibition is over, I will pack the painting and deliver it to you." Shao Fanghua directly forced people to buy it.
Jiang Lai's heart was full of joy after eating this meal.He didn't want to sell the painting to Jiang Bicheng and that woman, but suddenly he had a sum of money in his hand, and he was very proud.
Without saying a word, the business was completed, and Jiang Lai felt that the food tasted good.
On the way back, Shao Fanghua drove slowly and talked a lot.It was only then that Jiang Lai found out that after he fell asleep the night before, Xue Man and Shao Fanghua talked on the phone again.
Artists have pride.From Jiang Lai's simple point of view, it is probably that they can suffer together, but they don't want to benefit from each other.
Over the years, Shao Fanghua and Xue Man have gone uphill in their careers, and they are always listed and compared on casual occasions, but both of them have creative troughs.
In order not to be seen as borrowing Shao Fanghua's fame, Xue Man kept a low profile as much as possible.She sells paintings if she can sell them, and teaches students if she can't sell them.Although they are comparable to Sister Shao Fanghua, and they all know that the other party is a simple-hearted person, but the other party does not take the initiative to contact him, so he will not take the initiative.
"Your mother told me everything last night. Alas, when your mother and your father got married, your grandfather was reluctant. I didn't expect to come to this point." Shao Fanghua said.
Jiang Lai smiled, he had no interest in those previous things, his mind was full of Jiang Bicheng being overwhelmed by Shao Fanghua today.
"How can my painting be worth a hundred thousand? Auntie, this is almost like stealing." Jiang Lai laughed.
"Your mother talked about some recent things. I know that you are all short of money. My aunt wants to give your mother money directly, but she definitely doesn't want it. Jiang Bicheng and his little daughter-in-law bought your paintings. It's not a loss. Wait until you become famous in the future , the price of the painting will naturally increase."
"Can I also become famous?" Jiang Lai asked, he had never considered this question.
"It will be a matter of time to keep drawing." Shao Fanghua seems to have more confidence than Jiang Lai.
Jiang Lai went to Shao Fanghua's house again to pick up his luggage.He was on the train at three o'clock in the afternoon, just in time to go home for dinner.
The solo trip ended like this. Jiang Lai picked up the ticket, entered the station, got on the bus, and looked for a seat.The seat happened to be by the window, and after he sat down, he kept looking at the passengers passing by on the platform and the staff with big caps.
Half of the backpack is a special product brought to Bei Xiaowu, and if you promise the children, you must do what you say.
The bullet train started slowly, and everything on the platform reversed quickly. When the city he longed for was displayed in a unique way, Jiang Lai faintly felt a sense of irresistible excitement.
He is no longer afraid of Jiang Bicheng's annoying gaze, yes, until today he is willing to admit that he was not only disgusted but also afraid of that gaze.
This may be related to the experience of living in the ancient city. He redefined and realized the diversity between father and son.
Shao Fanghua said that he will become famous in the future, as long as he keeps painting.Painting is just what he likes and is good at.
After leaving the station, the speed of the car was getting faster and faster, Jiang Lai smiled unconsciously.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Jiang Lai took it out to see, it was actually a call from Toad.
"Hello?" Jiang Lai picked up the phone.
Ha|Toad's voice sounded happy, "Jiang Lai, I got something."
"Calm down," Shao Fanghua lowered his voice next to Jiang Lai's ear, and pushed him a little, "Since Boss Wei wants to treat guests, then I'll welcome an extra child."
According to Shao Fanghua's age, it's not surprising that there is a junior like Jiang Lai in the family.
