"What happened between us?" Tang Yan was stunned for a few seconds, "Mr. Xu, what are you referring to?"
Xu Jiuyan looked at Tang Yan, took a deep breath, pondered his words, and finally said slowly: "The reason why I'm angry with you today is because you didn't tell me, and because..."
Tang Yan stared at him seriously.
Xu Jiuyan paused, and then said after a while: "I thought it was because of grandpa that you cared about me."
Tang Yan was startled when he heard this.
"The first time we met, you told me that it would be dangerous, so you stopped me;" Xu Jiuyan looked at Tang Yan and said, "Later, you also saved me once in the Italian restaurant. After you became my assistant, you would occasionally consider Changing the itinerary for my safety..."
Speaking of this, Xu Jiuyan's facial expression softened, and the corners of his lips rose involuntarily.
"So, I want to ask you, are you doing these things for me, or for my grandfather?" Xu Jiuyan looked at Tang Yan deeply and asked.
Tang Yan didn't expect that Xu Jiuyan was most concerned about this.
"Of course I saved you because I wanted to save you," Tang Yan said seriously, "I won't change my mind for other reasons, let alone for Master Xu..."
Xu Jiuyan breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.He was very afraid that Tang Yan would say "yes" and tell him that he saved himself only because of an agreement with Xu Jianyang.
"And, when we first met, I didn't know you at all," Tang Yan recalled the scene when the two met for the first time, and touched his nose in embarrassment, "How could it be for Master Xu?"
When Xu Jiuyan heard the words, he also recalled the scene when the two met for the first time. At that time, Tang Yan said a word to him-"I counted my fingers, we are destined".
Now it seems that it is really fate.
"So you really know how to tell fortunes?" Xu Jiuyan looked straight at Tang Yan with unclear emotions in his eyes, "You didn't tell me because you were afraid of being fired, right?"
Tang Yan knew that Xu Jiuyan hated fortune tellers, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing that Xu Jiuyan had been staring at him, he didn't intend to let go of the topic, so he had to say cautiously: "Actually, it counts...but my fortune-telling mainly focuses on people's fortune, life and death, and I don't know much about other aspects."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xu Jiuyan's expression, afraid that he would suddenly say "Then you don't need to work in Xu's Media".
However, contrary to Tang Yan's expectations, Xu Jiuyan's expression was quite calm.
After a while, Xu Jiuyan said to Tang Yan: "I really don't believe in fortune-telling. I hated feudal superstition before because many people used this kind of thing as an excuse..."
Tang Yan swallowed.
"But if it's you, I don't mind." Xu Jiuyan slightly raised the corners of his lips and said, with an imperceptible tenderness in his eyes.
"...Do you mind?" Tang Yan couldn't believe it, "Mr. Xu, do you really not mind?"
Xu Jiuyan nodded slowly.
For Xu Jiuyan, Tang Yan is the person he likes. Whether he is a master or a magic stick, he is an extremely important existence to Xu Jiuyan.
Compared with the name "Tang Yan", the other labels behind it seem unimportant.
What's more, Tang Yan did save him many times.
"I thought you were going to fire me..." Tang Yan scratched his hair, looked at Xu Jiuyan and said.
"Fire you?" Xu Jiuyan chuckled, "You are the most capable employee of Xu Media, if you are fired, who will give me money?"
Tang Yan also laughed.He could feel that Xu Jiuyan seemed to be different from before.
For him to be able to go to Tang Yan's house to say these things clearly, it was a kind of concession and tolerance.
Tang Yan felt a little moved.
"Okay, can you go home with me now?" Xu Jiuyan looked into Tang Yan's eyes and said, "Master Tang, please calculate now how hungry Xu Jiuyan is."
Tang Yan froze for a moment, and was immediately amused by his words, laughing so hard that he was about to collapse on the sofa.
After a while, he held back his laughter and said to Xu Jiuyan: "There is no such business, I will be the first one to calculate for you when I learn it."
Xu Jiuyan got up, feeling much better. He took Tang Yan away, returned to his luxury apartment, and ordered a takeaway.
Under the influence of Tang Yan, Xu Jiuyan has become very proficient in ordering takeaway.
While waiting for the takeaway, Tang Yan poured him a glass of juice.
Xu Jiuyan picked up the juice but didn't drink it, stared at Tang Yan, thought of Ke Zhiyu in his heart, felt that he still cared very much, and suddenly asked, "Why is Dr. Ke at your house?"
"He brought me some medicine," Tang Yan replied truthfully, "then chatted for a while and hypnotized me."
"Hypnosis?" Xu Jiuyan frowned, "Why do you do such a thing, what does he want to do to you?"
"Ah, that's because...the pop-up window said he was the one I was looking for..." Tang Yan was stunned and explained.
Xu Jiuyan interrupted him puzzledly: "A pop-up window?"
"The pop-up window is...you can understand it as the hexagram of a fortune-teller." Tang Yan scratched his head, unable to think of a better explanation for a while, "The hexagram told me that Dr. Ke is the person I have been looking for, but, I couldn't figure out the meaning of this sentence, so I asked him to hypnotize me and let me think about whether I had seen him before."
"Where's the person you've been looking for?" Xu Jiuyan's face suddenly turned cloudy, "What does this mean? The hexagram says you two are a couple?"
Tang Yan was startled by Xu Jiuyan's words, and hurriedly said, "No, how could it be..."
"That means your calculation is not accurate." Xu Jiuyan said disdainfully.
"I calculated it very accurately. He must be the person I'm looking for, but... I haven't remembered when I saw him." Tang Yan was also puzzled for a while, "This matter has troubled me for a long time .”
Xu Jiuyan's tone was jealous: "Troubled you for a long time? Do you think about him every day?"
Tang Yan was stunned, "Mr. Xu, why do you speak so strangely?"
"...Forget it, pretend I didn't say it." Xu Jiuyan felt that he was very unmannered.Just when the takeaway arrived, he got up and went to open the door.
Although Tang Yan really wanted to find out about this problem, Ke Zhiyu didn't take the initiative to find him for a while, and he gradually put the matter behind him.
Tang Yan's hand recovered very quickly, and he was able to reduce the dosage of medicine, faster than Ke Zhiyu expected.
Xu Jiuyan watched him draw faster and faster every day, and felt that he hadn't learned how to learn painting, but was fascinated by Tang Yan's hands.
On this day, Tang Yan taught Xu Jiuyan to finish painting.
Xu Jiuyan said to Tang Yan: "After your hand is completely healed, have you thought about resigning?"
He asked very directly, without any shyness, and his tone was very serious, so serious that Tang Yan couldn't help but startled.
"Resign?" Tang Yan looked at Xu Jiuyan and confirmed that his expression was not joking, "Mr. Xu, I am quite satisfied with my current job, so I won't resign for now."
"Don't you think it's a pity?" Xu Jiuyan asked, "Your hands should be used for drawing, not dealing with documents every day, isn't it?"
"You can't say that," Tang Yan put down the paintbrush in his hand, "Actually, I found that I have learned a lot in Xu Media, and I am also very grateful to Mr. Xu for giving me the opportunity."
Xu Jiuyan stared into Tang Yan's eyes for a while.
Later, he said to Tang Yan: "If you intend to resign in the future, please tell me in advance, so that I can be mentally prepared, so that my life will not be affected by the sudden loss of my assistant, which will disturb me very much."
When Xu Jiuyan said this, Tang Yan felt even more embarrassed to resign.As a president, Xu Jiuyan treated Tang Yan as his assistant with the utmost benevolence.
Looking at the other party's sincere expression, Tang Yan nodded slowly in agreement, feeling a little moved in his heart.
At night, before going to bed, Tang Yan recalled what Xu Jiuyan said, and the wish he had made when he was a child came to mind: he wanted to open a successful gallery and plant sunflowers in the backyard.
But none of his peers at the time understood him.
Only the little brother who talked to him in the park understood him.
After falling asleep, Tang Yan had a dream.
In the dream, he saw the little brother who ran away from home again. They sat on the bench and chatted, and Xiao Tang Yan described the sunflower in his dream to him.
At the end of the dream, the boy who ran away from home left, and Tang Yan fell into loss and sadness.
He wants to find the boy...
Waking up from the dream, Tang Yan could clearly remember the content of the dream.
He couldn't help opening his eyes slightly.
Could it be that the meaning of "he is the person you are looking for" in Ke Zhiyu's pop-up window is...
Recalling that little boy, Tang Yan had a vague impression of him. He only remembered that he was good-looking, with innate elegance and dignity in his manner, and his speech was much more mature than his peers.
Could Ke Zhiyu be him?
Tang Yan felt that there was a possibility.
After all, Ke Zhiyu grew up in a scholarly family, and later went to study abroad. He might have been a little adult when he was a child.
After this idea popped up in Tang Yan's mind, it was out of control. The more he thought about it, the more curious he became, and finally couldn't hold back, and sent a message to Ke Zhiyu: "I have something to ask you."
Ke Zhiyu replied after a few minutes: "What happened?"
Tang Yan hesitated for a while, and finally decided to ask the matter face to face.
Tang Yan chose the meeting place this time, and he asked Ke Zhiyu to meet in a park.
Ke Zhiyu didn't quite understand why he asked him to go to the park, but he still agreed.
After the two met, Tang Yan picked a bench and asked Ke Zhiyu to sit next to him, and then asked him: "Dr. Ke, can I ask you, when you were young... did you run away from home?"
Ke Zhiyu froze for a moment, and immediately began to think carefully.
Tang Yan stared at him nervously.
"There seems to be one time," Ke Zhiyu said slowly, "I wanted to be a racing driver when I was young, but my parents wanted me to be a doctor. Once I got into trouble with them, I ran out of the house..."
"Then did you run to a park?" Tang Yan stared at him and asked, "Just like this park."
Ke Zhiyu was stunned for a few seconds and then said: "This... I don't remember very clearly. My parents told me about this."
Tang Yan was a little disappointed. He thought for a while and asked another question: "Then, have you met other children on the road?"
"Yes," Ke Zhiyu's tone was not sure, he glanced at Tang Yan, as if thinking of something, suddenly changed his words: "I must have encountered it before."
A glimmer of hope ignited in Tang Yan's heart, but after he continued to ask a few questions, Ke Zhiyu acted very confused, not quite like the boy he met.
The boy was already seven years old at that time, so he couldn't remember anything, right?
Tang Yan couldn't be sure whether Ke Zhiyu was the person he was looking for for a while, and his confusion and incomprehension became more and more.
And he always felt that Ke Zhiyu was a little weird when he spoke.
It seems... to please yourself on purpose?
But it was not very obvious, and Tang Yan couldn't confirm what his purpose was.
In the following days, Tang Yan entered a very busy period, and had no energy to think about Ke Zhiyu's identity, so she put this matter on hold again.
In the second semester of graduate school, most of the students were busy looking for internships, and at the same time began to prepare for graduation projects.Tang Yan is not worried about work, but he is not prepared for his graduation work at all.
Gu Yao called him and said to him: "Little ancestor, are you planning to not submit the opening report? The opening defense will start soon, and your tutor asked me to urge you."
Tang Yan sighed, "Okay, I see."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Yan took the document and said to the manager of a certain department: "Your department's index for this quarter can't be lowered any further, and any further reduction will affect other departments. This index is not high..."
After finishing speaking, he said to the manager: "You go out first, I have something to deal with, and I will hand it over to me after your form is finalized."
The manager usually had a good relationship with Tang Yan, and admired his ability very much, so he asked curiously, "Assistant Tang, what big project have you received?"
Tang Yan was slightly taken aback.
After a while, he said dumbfoundedly: "Brother, your metaphor is quite accurate."
The man asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"
"I have to work on my graduation thesis." Tang Yan felt a little headache, "It's really a big project."
The person who was assigning tasks to himself one second, said something like "I have to work on my graduation thesis" the next second, which inevitably made the manager a little dumbfounded.
He knew that Tang Yan was young and promising, but when he said the words "graduation thesis" in person, it still brought a great shock——
It took him so many years to get into the position of a manager. The young man in front of him was already an assistant to the president before he graduated. The gap between people is too big!
Tang Yan and his tutor reported the situation, and after confirming the topic, the tutor asked him to go back to school.
Tang Yan hasn't been back to school for a while since he caught the painting thief last time.After seeing the tutor, the tutor told him some details of the topic selection, as well as the submission time of the work, and finally cared about the condition of his left hand.
When Tang Yan told him that he had undergone the operation, the professor was very surprised and happy for him at the same time.
"I've seen your previous paintings, and after hearing that you can't draw with your left hand, I feel very sorry." The professor said to Tang Yan, "It would be great if your left hand really recovered."
Tang Yan thanked him and left the school.
Not far from the school gate, Tang Yan saw a familiar gallery.He used to come to this gallery often, but I heard that the owner changed last year, during the period when Tang Yan was working in Yuntu.
In Tang Yan's impression, although the works in this gallery are not amazing, they are still of good quality, and the paints and other utensils sold are also very durable.
However, since the change of boss, Gu Yao seems to have complained to Tang Yan, saying that their paints are hard to use, and the paintbrush always loses hair.
Tang Yan walked to the entrance of the gallery and took a look, wanting to go in and see if there were any good-looking works. If there were any, it would be good to buy them as a birthday present for Xu Jiuyan, and save himself from painting.
After entering the gallery, the inside was clean, but there were no customers.
Tang Yan remembered that before changing the boss, although the business of this store was not very good, art students would patronize it, after all, everyone likes places with atmosphere.
But obviously, there is no artistic atmosphere in this gallery at all.
The owner of the gallery is a middle-aged uncle. He was cleaning. When he heard someone coming in at the door, he quickly put down his work to greet him.
He asked Tang Yan with a smile on his face, "May I help you?"
Tang Yan nodded slightly, and said to him, "I want to see the paintings here."
The boss hurriedly led him in, pointed to the paintings on the surrounding walls and said to him: "You can buy these paintings as long as you like them. They are very cheap, really cheap. I will sell them to you at a loss..."
It can be seen that business is indeed extremely bleak.
Tang Yan looked around and found that most of the paintings here were not very famous, and they didn't look too mature, so he was a little disappointed.
"What's the matter, don't you like it?" The boss looked at him eagerly and said.
"Well, no." Tang Yan replied truthfully, and turned to leave.
The boss stopped him: "Young man, do you want to stop looking at it? It's really cheap, I won't lie to you, just take a look at this painting, it only costs 30 yuan..."
Tang Yan took a look at the painting he was referring to, and found that 30 yuan was indeed not expensive.
However, who sells paintings for the price of 30 yuan?Buying it can neither be used as a gift nor is it worth collecting. Hanging it on the bedside is not as good-looking as a poster, which is too tasteless.
Tang Yan waved his hand, "No need."
After speaking, he walked out of the gallery.
It seems that after changing the owner, this gallery is really not working.
"Hey, this store is too big, and it can't be transferred, what should I do..."
The boss's slightly sad voice came from behind Tang Yan, which made him slightly startled.
transfer?
Is this going to close down?
He couldn't help but feel a tinge of sympathy for the owner of the gallery.
After returning to the company, Xu Jiuyan was waiting for him in his office.Seeing him coming back, Xu Jiuyan raised his eyes and asked, "Didn't you say you're coming back at ten o'clock? It's twenty or ten minutes late. A client came to you just now, and I've already dealt with it."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu," Tang Yan scratched the back of his head, "I just saw a gallery and wanted to go in to see if there were any good-looking paintings. I was delayed for a while and didn't catch the subway..."
Xu Jiuyan gave a "hmm", and then asked him, "You want to buy paintings? Why didn't you bring them back?"
"I really want to buy one," Tang Yan said, "However, the paintings in that gallery are very immature, and the boss set the price very low, but the business seems to be very poor, and they are about to close down."
After speaking, he sat down in front of the computer, opened the mailbox and began to process the documents.
Xu Jiuyan held the coffee, took a sip, and suddenly said to Tang Yan: "This coffee is a bit cold..."
Tang Yan was slightly stunned, raised his eyes to look at him, and was about to speak, but was startled by Xu Jiuyan's next words.
"Why don't you buy that gallery."
Xu Jiuyan said calmly, as if saying "Why don't you buy another cup of coffee?"
"Buy, buy it?" Tang Yan looked at him incredulously, "Mr. Xu, what are you talking about, our company doesn't have this business."
Xu Jiuyan looked at him noncommittally.
"And... is there any connection between 'the coffee is cold' and 'buying the gallery'?" Tang Yan asked puzzled.
Xu Jiuyan stared at him thoughtfully for a moment, then said: "Our company does not have this business, but we can consider it in the future."
"You mean to bring that gallery into the Xu Group's business?" Tang Yan felt that Xu Jiuyan was a bit abnormal today, "Mr. Xu, that gallery is about to close down, what money can you make? I think you bought the land It’s more reliable to invest in real estate.”
In the past, Xu Jiuyan would definitely not buy a gallery that was about to close down.
However, he did this for Tang Yan.
"What if I let you be the store manager?" Xu Jiuyan said slowly after taking a sip of coffee.
Tang Yan's finger on the keyboard trembled slightly, and he made several mistakes.He stared at Xu Jiuyan with wide eyes, not daring to say anything: "You let me... be the store manager? But I'm your assistant."
"No conflict." Xu Jiuyan raised the corners of his lips, "Didn't you say that when you were eating hot pot before, your ideal is to open a gallery, and now there is an opportunity in front of you, shouldn't you be jumping for joy? "
Tang Yan was stunned.
He didn't expect Xu Jiuyan to remember a sentence he said during "Truth or Dare" for so long.
"That's it. I will buy this gallery and let you be the store manager." Xu Jiuyan said solemnly, "I will help you hire a few shop assistants to take care of the gallery's business. You can go to the gallery when you are free. Just check it out. Of course, when your hands are ready, you can hang up your own work."
All this happened so suddenly that Tang Yan felt unreal.
He originally wanted to buy Xu Jiuyan a birthday present, but unexpectedly, the person who received the "gift" became himself.
Tang Yan hesitated: "President Xu, is it worth it for you to do this? If you lose money..."
"Of course it's worth it," Xu Jiuyan said bluntly, "In my opinion, all your works should be placed in the largest art gallery in Yunzhou City... Oh, by the way, which one is the largest art gallery in Yunzhou City?"
In order to prevent Xu Jiuyan from saying, "The coffee is a little cold, buy that art gallery", Tang Yan hurriedly said: "I don't know, Mr. Xu, don't think too much about it."
Xu Jiuyan showed a satisfied smile, and said to him: "From tomorrow, you will be the new store manager of the gallery."
A few hours later, Xu Jiuyan really drew up a plan to acquire the gallery, and had someone execute it immediately.
Tang Yan felt that he was living in a dream.
Of course, although this incident was too bizarre and even absurd, Tang Yan was still happy in his heart-not only did he not have to resign, but he also realized his childhood dream to a certain extent.
On the weekend, when Xu Jiuyan appointed Tang Yan as the store manager, Tang Yan was moved and said to him: "Thank you Mr. Xu for your appreciation. If I have the ability, I will definitely work hard to make this store profitable."
Xu Jiuyan glanced at the sparsely populated gallery, hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't force it, just take it as a side job."
As far as the current situation of this gallery is concerned, unless Tang Yan sits and draws every day and fills the gallery with his own works, how can it be profitable?
However, Tang Yan did not have the energy, so Xu Jiuyan did not have any hope for the gallery to make a profit.
After the gallery was acquired, the students of Yunzhou University knew about it very quickly.
Gu Yao found Tang Yan and said to him on WeChat: "Xiao Yan, let me tell you that the gallery you used to go to has changed owners again. It doesn't seem to be useful. I took a look and those paintings None were replaced."
Tang Yan was a little embarrassed.He has been very busy these days, busy with the business of the Xu Group, and has no time to take care of the works of the gallery. He didn't even change the name of the gallery. He thought it would be okay to go and have a look when he was free.
However, the students of Yunzhou University don't think so.
Not long after Tang Yan became the store manager, someone posted a post on the campus forum. The content of the post was as follows: "I thought that after changing the boss, the products sold by Elegant Gallery would be better, but the quality is still so poor! Moreover, the wall The paintings on it are still so tasteless!"
Soon, the gallery that Tang Yan took over received complaints from some people. These people thought that after changing the boss, the store would be better, but they didn't expect it to be the same as before.
After Tang Yan received the complaint, he sighed and said to himself: "It's worse than I imagined. I can receive so many bad reviews in one day..."
He decided to spend the weekend giving the gallery a good makeover.
Let's not talk about making money, at least let people know that the current store manager is not a tasteless person.
Xu Jiuyan looked at Tang Yan, took a deep breath, pondered his words, and finally said slowly: "The reason why I'm angry with you today is because you didn't tell me, and because..."
Tang Yan stared at him seriously.
Xu Jiuyan paused, and then said after a while: "I thought it was because of grandpa that you cared about me."
Tang Yan was startled when he heard this.
"The first time we met, you told me that it would be dangerous, so you stopped me;" Xu Jiuyan looked at Tang Yan and said, "Later, you also saved me once in the Italian restaurant. After you became my assistant, you would occasionally consider Changing the itinerary for my safety..."
Speaking of this, Xu Jiuyan's facial expression softened, and the corners of his lips rose involuntarily.
"So, I want to ask you, are you doing these things for me, or for my grandfather?" Xu Jiuyan looked at Tang Yan deeply and asked.
Tang Yan didn't expect that Xu Jiuyan was most concerned about this.
"Of course I saved you because I wanted to save you," Tang Yan said seriously, "I won't change my mind for other reasons, let alone for Master Xu..."
Xu Jiuyan breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.He was very afraid that Tang Yan would say "yes" and tell him that he saved himself only because of an agreement with Xu Jianyang.
"And, when we first met, I didn't know you at all," Tang Yan recalled the scene when the two met for the first time, and touched his nose in embarrassment, "How could it be for Master Xu?"
When Xu Jiuyan heard the words, he also recalled the scene when the two met for the first time. At that time, Tang Yan said a word to him-"I counted my fingers, we are destined".
Now it seems that it is really fate.
"So you really know how to tell fortunes?" Xu Jiuyan looked straight at Tang Yan with unclear emotions in his eyes, "You didn't tell me because you were afraid of being fired, right?"
Tang Yan knew that Xu Jiuyan hated fortune tellers, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing that Xu Jiuyan had been staring at him, he didn't intend to let go of the topic, so he had to say cautiously: "Actually, it counts...but my fortune-telling mainly focuses on people's fortune, life and death, and I don't know much about other aspects."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xu Jiuyan's expression, afraid that he would suddenly say "Then you don't need to work in Xu's Media".
However, contrary to Tang Yan's expectations, Xu Jiuyan's expression was quite calm.
After a while, Xu Jiuyan said to Tang Yan: "I really don't believe in fortune-telling. I hated feudal superstition before because many people used this kind of thing as an excuse..."
Tang Yan swallowed.
"But if it's you, I don't mind." Xu Jiuyan slightly raised the corners of his lips and said, with an imperceptible tenderness in his eyes.
"...Do you mind?" Tang Yan couldn't believe it, "Mr. Xu, do you really not mind?"
Xu Jiuyan nodded slowly.
For Xu Jiuyan, Tang Yan is the person he likes. Whether he is a master or a magic stick, he is an extremely important existence to Xu Jiuyan.
Compared with the name "Tang Yan", the other labels behind it seem unimportant.
What's more, Tang Yan did save him many times.
"I thought you were going to fire me..." Tang Yan scratched his hair, looked at Xu Jiuyan and said.
"Fire you?" Xu Jiuyan chuckled, "You are the most capable employee of Xu Media, if you are fired, who will give me money?"
Tang Yan also laughed.He could feel that Xu Jiuyan seemed to be different from before.
For him to be able to go to Tang Yan's house to say these things clearly, it was a kind of concession and tolerance.
Tang Yan felt a little moved.
"Okay, can you go home with me now?" Xu Jiuyan looked into Tang Yan's eyes and said, "Master Tang, please calculate now how hungry Xu Jiuyan is."
Tang Yan froze for a moment, and was immediately amused by his words, laughing so hard that he was about to collapse on the sofa.
After a while, he held back his laughter and said to Xu Jiuyan: "There is no such business, I will be the first one to calculate for you when I learn it."
Xu Jiuyan got up, feeling much better. He took Tang Yan away, returned to his luxury apartment, and ordered a takeaway.
Under the influence of Tang Yan, Xu Jiuyan has become very proficient in ordering takeaway.
While waiting for the takeaway, Tang Yan poured him a glass of juice.
Xu Jiuyan picked up the juice but didn't drink it, stared at Tang Yan, thought of Ke Zhiyu in his heart, felt that he still cared very much, and suddenly asked, "Why is Dr. Ke at your house?"
"He brought me some medicine," Tang Yan replied truthfully, "then chatted for a while and hypnotized me."
"Hypnosis?" Xu Jiuyan frowned, "Why do you do such a thing, what does he want to do to you?"
"Ah, that's because...the pop-up window said he was the one I was looking for..." Tang Yan was stunned and explained.
Xu Jiuyan interrupted him puzzledly: "A pop-up window?"
"The pop-up window is...you can understand it as the hexagram of a fortune-teller."

"Where's the person you've been looking for?" Xu Jiuyan's face suddenly turned cloudy, "What does this mean? The hexagram says you two are a couple?"
Tang Yan was startled by Xu Jiuyan's words, and hurriedly said, "No, how could it be..."
"That means your calculation is not accurate." Xu Jiuyan said disdainfully.
"I calculated it very accurately. He must be the person I'm looking for, but... I haven't remembered when I saw him." Tang Yan was also puzzled for a while, "This matter has troubled me for a long time .”
Xu Jiuyan's tone was jealous: "Troubled you for a long time? Do you think about him every day?"

"You can't say that," Tang Yan put down the paintbrush in his hand, "Actually, I found that I have learned a lot in Xu Media, and I am also very grateful to Mr. Xu for giving me the opportunity."
Xu Jiuyan stared into Tang Yan's eyes for a while.

Could Ke Zhiyu be him?
Tang Yan felt that there was a possibility.
After all, Ke Zhiyu grew up in a scholarly family, and later went to study abroad. He might have been a little adult when he was a child.
After this idea popped up in Tang Yan's mind, it was out of control. The more he thought about it, the more curious he became, and finally couldn't hold back, and sent a message to Ke Zhiyu: "I have something to ask you."
Ke Zhiyu replied after a few minutes: "What happened?"
Tang Yan hesitated for a while, and finally decided to ask the matter face to face.
Tang Yan chose the meeting place this time, and he asked Ke Zhiyu to meet in a park.
Ke Zhiyu didn't quite understand why he asked him to go to the park, but he still agreed.
After the two met, Tang Yan picked a bench and asked Ke Zhiyu to sit next to him, and then asked him: "Dr. Ke, can I ask you, when you were young... did you run away from home?"
Ke Zhiyu froze for a moment, and immediately began to think carefully.
Tang Yan stared at him nervously.
"There seems to be one time," Ke Zhiyu said slowly, "I wanted to be a racing driver when I was young, but my parents wanted me to be a doctor. Once I got into trouble with them, I ran out of the house..."
"Then did you run to a park?" Tang Yan stared at him and asked, "Just like this park."
Ke Zhiyu was stunned for a few seconds and then said: "This... I don't remember very clearly. My parents told me about this."
Tang Yan was a little disappointed. He thought for a while and asked another question: "Then, have you met other children on the road?"
"Yes," Ke Zhiyu's tone was not sure, he glanced at Tang Yan, as if thinking of something, suddenly changed his words: "I must have encountered it before."
A glimmer of hope ignited in Tang Yan's heart, but after he continued to ask a few questions, Ke Zhiyu acted very confused, not quite like the boy he met.
The boy was already seven years old at that time, so he couldn't remember anything, right?
Tang Yan couldn't be sure whether Ke Zhiyu was the person he was looking for for a while, and his confusion and incomprehension became more and more.
And he always felt that Ke Zhiyu was a little weird when he spoke.
It seems... to please yourself on purpose?
But it was not very obvious, and Tang Yan couldn't confirm what his purpose was.
In the following days, Tang Yan entered a very busy period, and had no energy to think about Ke Zhiyu's identity, so she put this matter on hold again.
In the second semester of graduate school, most of the students were busy looking for internships, and at the same time began to prepare for graduation projects.Tang Yan is not worried about work, but he is not prepared for his graduation work at all.
Gu Yao called him and said to him: "Little ancestor, are you planning to not submit the opening report? The opening defense will start soon, and your tutor asked me to urge you."
Tang Yan sighed, "Okay, I see."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Yan took the document and said to the manager of a certain department: "Your department's index for this quarter can't be lowered any further, and any further reduction will affect other departments. This index is not high..."
After finishing speaking, he said to the manager: "You go out first, I have something to deal with, and I will hand it over to me after your form is finalized."
The manager usually had a good relationship with Tang Yan, and admired his ability very much, so he asked curiously, "Assistant Tang, what big project have you received?"
Tang Yan was slightly taken aback.
After a while, he said dumbfoundedly: "Brother, your metaphor is quite accurate."
The man asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"
"I have to work on my graduation thesis." Tang Yan felt a little headache, "It's really a big project."
The person who was assigning tasks to himself one second, said something like "I have to work on my graduation thesis" the next second, which inevitably made the manager a little dumbfounded.
He knew that Tang Yan was young and promising, but when he said the words "graduation thesis" in person, it still brought a great shock——
It took him so many years to get into the position of a manager. The young man in front of him was already an assistant to the president before he graduated. The gap between people is too big!
Tang Yan and his tutor reported the situation, and after confirming the topic, the tutor asked him to go back to school.
Tang Yan hasn't been back to school for a while since he caught the painting thief last time.After seeing the tutor, the tutor told him some details of the topic selection, as well as the submission time of the work, and finally cared about the condition of his left hand.
When Tang Yan told him that he had undergone the operation, the professor was very surprised and happy for him at the same time.
"I've seen your previous paintings, and after hearing that you can't draw with your left hand, I feel very sorry." The professor said to Tang Yan, "It would be great if your left hand really recovered."
Tang Yan thanked him and left the school.
Not far from the school gate, Tang Yan saw a familiar gallery.He used to come to this gallery often, but I heard that the owner changed last year, during the period when Tang Yan was working in Yuntu.
In Tang Yan's impression, although the works in this gallery are not amazing, they are still of good quality, and the paints and other utensils sold are also very durable.
However, since the change of boss, Gu Yao seems to have complained to Tang Yan, saying that their paints are hard to use, and the paintbrush always loses hair.
Tang Yan walked to the entrance of the gallery and took a look, wanting to go in and see if there were any good-looking works. If there were any, it would be good to buy them as a birthday present for Xu Jiuyan, and save himself from painting.
After entering the gallery, the inside was clean, but there were no customers.
Tang Yan remembered that before changing the boss, although the business of this store was not very good, art students would patronize it, after all, everyone likes places with atmosphere.
But obviously, there is no artistic atmosphere in this gallery at all.
The owner of the gallery is a middle-aged uncle. He was cleaning. When he heard someone coming in at the door, he quickly put down his work to greet him.
He asked Tang Yan with a smile on his face, "May I help you?"
Tang Yan nodded slightly, and said to him, "I want to see the paintings here."
The boss hurriedly led him in, pointed to the paintings on the surrounding walls and said to him: "You can buy these paintings as long as you like them. They are very cheap, really cheap. I will sell them to you at a loss..."
It can be seen that business is indeed extremely bleak.
Tang Yan looked around and found that most of the paintings here were not very famous, and they didn't look too mature, so he was a little disappointed.
"What's the matter, don't you like it?" The boss looked at him eagerly and said.
"Well, no." Tang Yan replied truthfully, and turned to leave.
The boss stopped him: "Young man, do you want to stop looking at it? It's really cheap, I won't lie to you, just take a look at this painting, it only costs 30 yuan..."
Tang Yan took a look at the painting he was referring to, and found that 30 yuan was indeed not expensive.
However, who sells paintings for the price of 30 yuan?Buying it can neither be used as a gift nor is it worth collecting. Hanging it on the bedside is not as good-looking as a poster, which is too tasteless.
Tang Yan waved his hand, "No need."
After speaking, he walked out of the gallery.
It seems that after changing the owner, this gallery is really not working.
"Hey, this store is too big, and it can't be transferred, what should I do..."
The boss's slightly sad voice came from behind Tang Yan, which made him slightly startled.
transfer?
Is this going to close down?
He couldn't help but feel a tinge of sympathy for the owner of the gallery.
After returning to the company, Xu Jiuyan was waiting for him in his office.Seeing him coming back, Xu Jiuyan raised his eyes and asked, "Didn't you say you're coming back at ten o'clock? It's twenty or ten minutes late. A client came to you just now, and I've already dealt with it."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu," Tang Yan scratched the back of his head, "I just saw a gallery and wanted to go in to see if there were any good-looking paintings. I was delayed for a while and didn't catch the subway..."
Xu Jiuyan gave a "hmm", and then asked him, "You want to buy paintings? Why didn't you bring them back?"
"I really want to buy one," Tang Yan said, "However, the paintings in that gallery are very immature, and the boss set the price very low, but the business seems to be very poor, and they are about to close down."
After speaking, he sat down in front of the computer, opened the mailbox and began to process the documents.
Xu Jiuyan held the coffee, took a sip, and suddenly said to Tang Yan: "This coffee is a bit cold..."
Tang Yan was slightly stunned, raised his eyes to look at him, and was about to speak, but was startled by Xu Jiuyan's next words.
"Why don't you buy that gallery."
Xu Jiuyan said calmly, as if saying "Why don't you buy another cup of coffee?"
"Buy, buy it?" Tang Yan looked at him incredulously, "Mr. Xu, what are you talking about, our company doesn't have this business."
Xu Jiuyan looked at him noncommittally.
"And... is there any connection between 'the coffee is cold' and 'buying the gallery'?" Tang Yan asked puzzled.
Xu Jiuyan stared at him thoughtfully for a moment, then said: "Our company does not have this business, but we can consider it in the future."
"You mean to bring that gallery into the Xu Group's business?" Tang Yan felt that Xu Jiuyan was a bit abnormal today, "Mr. Xu, that gallery is about to close down, what money can you make? I think you bought the land It’s more reliable to invest in real estate.”
In the past, Xu Jiuyan would definitely not buy a gallery that was about to close down.
However, he did this for Tang Yan.
"What if I let you be the store manager?" Xu Jiuyan said slowly after taking a sip of coffee.
Tang Yan's finger on the keyboard trembled slightly, and he made several mistakes.He stared at Xu Jiuyan with wide eyes, not daring to say anything: "You let me... be the store manager? But I'm your assistant."
"No conflict." Xu Jiuyan raised the corners of his lips, "Didn't you say that when you were eating hot pot before, your ideal is to open a gallery, and now there is an opportunity in front of you, shouldn't you be jumping for joy? "
Tang Yan was stunned.
He didn't expect Xu Jiuyan to remember a sentence he said during "Truth or Dare" for so long.
"That's it. I will buy this gallery and let you be the store manager." Xu Jiuyan said solemnly, "I will help you hire a few shop assistants to take care of the gallery's business. You can go to the gallery when you are free. Just check it out. Of course, when your hands are ready, you can hang up your own work."
All this happened so suddenly that Tang Yan felt unreal.
He originally wanted to buy Xu Jiuyan a birthday present, but unexpectedly, the person who received the "gift" became himself.
Tang Yan hesitated: "President Xu, is it worth it for you to do this? If you lose money..."
"Of course it's worth it," Xu Jiuyan said bluntly, "In my opinion, all your works should be placed in the largest art gallery in Yunzhou City... Oh, by the way, which one is the largest art gallery in Yunzhou City?"
In order to prevent Xu Jiuyan from saying, "The coffee is a little cold, buy that art gallery", Tang Yan hurriedly said: "I don't know, Mr. Xu, don't think too much about it."
Xu Jiuyan showed a satisfied smile, and said to him: "From tomorrow, you will be the new store manager of the gallery."
A few hours later, Xu Jiuyan really drew up a plan to acquire the gallery, and had someone execute it immediately.
Tang Yan felt that he was living in a dream.
Of course, although this incident was too bizarre and even absurd, Tang Yan was still happy in his heart-not only did he not have to resign, but he also realized his childhood dream to a certain extent.
On the weekend, when Xu Jiuyan appointed Tang Yan as the store manager, Tang Yan was moved and said to him: "Thank you Mr. Xu for your appreciation. If I have the ability, I will definitely work hard to make this store profitable."
Xu Jiuyan glanced at the sparsely populated gallery, hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't force it, just take it as a side job."
As far as the current situation of this gallery is concerned, unless Tang Yan sits and draws every day and fills the gallery with his own works, how can it be profitable?
However, Tang Yan did not have the energy, so Xu Jiuyan did not have any hope for the gallery to make a profit.
After the gallery was acquired, the students of Yunzhou University knew about it very quickly.
Gu Yao found Tang Yan and said to him on WeChat: "Xiao Yan, let me tell you that the gallery you used to go to has changed owners again. It doesn't seem to be useful. I took a look and those paintings None were replaced."
Tang Yan was a little embarrassed.He has been very busy these days, busy with the business of the Xu Group, and has no time to take care of the works of the gallery. He didn't even change the name of the gallery. He thought it would be okay to go and have a look when he was free.
However, the students of Yunzhou University don't think so.
Not long after Tang Yan became the store manager, someone posted a post on the campus forum. The content of the post was as follows: "I thought that after changing the boss, the products sold by Elegant Gallery would be better, but the quality is still so poor! Moreover, the wall The paintings on it are still so tasteless!"
Soon, the gallery that Tang Yan took over received complaints from some people. These people thought that after changing the boss, the store would be better, but they didn't expect it to be the same as before.
After Tang Yan received the complaint, he sighed and said to himself: "It's worse than I imagined. I can receive so many bad reviews in one day..."
He decided to spend the weekend giving the gallery a good makeover.
Let's not talk about making money, at least let people know that the current store manager is not a tasteless person.
