The whole world thinks I'm inscrutable

With just such an interruption of chatting, several people passed through layers of security checks from the courtyard outside the door, and came to the innermost part of the villa.

Sitting in the room is a woman who concentrates on painting while facing the scenery outside the window, and a group of men and women who are known to be extraordinary in skill are sitting or standing beside her.

Ke Shao'an focused his eyes on the woman in the middle, making sure that she was the target of his mission this time - Song Min.

Yin Sijin also has a lot of research on painting, and commented: "Ingenious, with little meaning."

It's not particularly great, but it's still fun to watch.

Then he looked up at the surrounding walls, and nodded slightly to the paintings above: "These paintings are a bit interesting. They are lifelike and interesting."

Apart from being familiar with those well-known paintings with historical background and commercial value, Ke Shaochen doesn't see anything worth mentioning about the paintings of these little-known painters.

Yin Sijin commented: "Nowadays, the paintings of human beings take the edge of the sword, which is really hard to appreciate."

Ke Shaochen: "You mean those modern arts?"

Yin Sijin nodded: "The expression is too abstract and bizarre, it's really..." I couldn't agree.

The painting made up of color blocks and lines of different colors is like a child who doesn't know art daubing at will, so simple that he can't believe it.Some weird and inexplicable things were put together, and they were said to be art. He couldn't imagine that thousands of years ago, human beings had drawn so many exquisite and profound paintings.

Not to mention progress, this has regressed to the point where even Yin Sijin feels unbearable.

"Not necessarily so." Ke Shaochen said: "What is art? Whether it is painting, sculpture, or music, art is a way of expressing beauty. In the past, it was very rare for human beings to appreciate art. Yes, whether it is holding or creating, even if it is just a simple brush or paint, it is very difficult to buy. Therefore, people engaged in this industry strive for excellence, and constantly study how to use brush strokes, artistic conception, and other details. Improve the quality of the painting."

"But in modern times, everyone can easily buy white paper and colored pencils at the convenience store in front of their homes. Technologies such as camera photography can create realistic images that are more accurate and perfect than any great painter in a second. A large number of mechanical assembly lines Production allows human beings to use precision instruments, so the boundary between art and human beings is suddenly blurred."

The simulated portraits drawn by the painter day and night without eating or drinking for three or four years are even more lifelike than those taken by a child with a video camera.

No matter how ingenious things are made by hand, machines can easily produce tens of thousands of products of the same quality or even better in an hour.

"Everyone is no longer stimulated by the beauty of things that can be seen everywhere in daily life, and they start chasing and looking for a different kind of 'beauty'. Take geometric structures, subjective feelings, inner emotions, such things that cannot be represented by photos. , and then write a long paraphrase next to it. It seems that more than 800 million "three primary colors" paintings were auctioned at the capital auction a while ago. The artists explained that "yellow makes people move back, blue Color gives people the feeling of pausing, and red makes people move forward passionately', this painting is not about expressing beauty, but about interpreting the meaning of beauty."

Yin Sijin thought about the meaning of Ke Shao'an's words, and said: "In other words, human paintings are no longer about expressing beauty, but telling the concept and principle of beauty. So what is this principle?"

Ke Shaochen said bluntly: "If this principle is revealed, then everyone can become an artist and make money. No one will casually show the guy who eats, and..."

Moreover, for art, some people endow it with value, and some people add value to it. Only when it is recognized can art become "art".As long as someone can make a reasonable explanation for the author's work, persuade the buyer, and bring people into the "conceptual" thinking of modern art, then it can continue to increase in value without limit, unlike in the past. "Technology, artistic conception, composition, author's worth" and other conditions to measure.If the price explodes, it is exaggerated to the point where people think it is a joke.

Therefore, the more modern art is, the easier it is to explode the price. People who still insist on contemporary art in modern times, do not take the avant-garde abstract line, but maintain classical realism, unless they are of extraordinary background or seniority, or the paintings are really good enough to make people Don't care about the external conditions competing to attract people to bid, otherwise the basic mix will not be very good.

Just like these paintings praised by Yin Sijin in front of you, Ke Shaochen, a "professional" who has been in and out of the auction all year round, and bids for some things every year to come back to see or give away, will definitely not sell for much money. of.

The level is not low, the value is not high, and it is like a chicken rib.

It can be seen that the creators of the paintings have not made any major breakthroughs in their works in recent years. From the front to the back, the skills in the works have increased, but the core has remained the same. If there is no opportunity, basically there will be no progress in the future.

If it's for self-entertainment, that's all. Keeping the original status also has the beauty of keeping the original status.But it can be seen that the artist's self-motivation to seek to break through the bottleneck is hidden in the works, so the current situation of being unable to advance and retreat is a bit painful.

He felt a pity for him to give up.Let him go on, he can't find a way out.Dilemma, isn't it desperate?

Yin Sijin said: "These works were not painted by the protected subjects this time."

Ke Shao'an replied: "It's her husband. A classmate in college, we've been together for less than a year, and now he's working in her father's company."

Yin Sijin asked in surprise, "At work?"

But looking at the meaning expressed by the creator in the painting, it seems that this should not be the case.

"It's been half a year." Ke Shao said angrily, "I've been married for almost three years, and I've been painting at home for the first two years. Now I finally have no choice but to go out to work."

"It's a pity." Yin Sijin said: "If you continue to persist, maybe the value of the painting will be raised to a higher level."

"No matter how valuable the painting is, unless it is famous all over the world and can bring honor and benefits to a family like Fengqi, otherwise it is better to be the son-in-law of the Song family honestly, inherit the father's business, and take over the family The business must come in the 'right way'." Ke Shaochen said: "The man of Song Guo has actually been dissatisfied with this son-in-law for a long time."

Not to mention his precious daughter, who comes from an ordinary background, has no skills, and is not worthy of him at all, but also spends all day at home painting, not thinking about making progress, can you not make him feel bad.

Yin Sijin didn't know much about these things about human beings, and there was no need to understand them. After listening, he nodded to show that he knew, and didn't say anything else.

Ke Shaochen took the opportunity to brush up his favorability: "You like painting. I have a lot of good paintings in my place, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, with a complete range. I will bring them to you next time."

Can be said "good" by Ke Shao, it must be really good, valuable and unique, Yin Sijin nodded with a smile: "OK."

Then the woman over there finally put down her paintbrush, looked down at the watch on her wrist, got up and said softly to the people around her, "I'm going out, please excuse me."

Everyone is a well-trained person, and immediately acted upon hearing the words.Those who stayed behind stayed behind, accompanied by escorts, those who went first went out and started to prepare, and those who supported were one step behind to collect equipment.

Song Min's eyes fixed on Ke Shaoyan and the others who appeared at her house at some time, subconsciously showed a greeting smile, and said, "I don't know how many gentlemen are...?"

Ke Shaochen: "We are the people your father sent to protect you."

Song Min was surprised for a moment, and said bluntly: "Is it too condescending?"

After following behind her father all the year round, she still has this vision.

Ke Shaochen said: "How could it be? There is nothing more precious than human life in the world, so this job will not be inferior to talent anyway."

When Song Min heard it, he also laughed: "What you said makes sense, but I was careless in my words just now. There is nothing more precious than human life in this world."

Judging by the way she speaks, she should be a kind person with a good personality.Innocent and romantic, pure and sexual.

It is exactly the same as the information Ke Shaoan investigated.

Otherwise, there will be no good young lady who doesn't do it, and the noble son who doesn't marry. She has a stubborn temper and quarreled with her father for several years because of a poor painter, and married herself to love.

Song Min said he was going out, but in fact, he was buying some things for the family for the upcoming New Year.Red lanterns, red couplets, seafood for the Spring Festival, sweets and pastries, running back and forth, doing it myself, is a bit busy.

On the way back, Song Min received a call from her best friend, so the group turned around and went to a teahouse to drink tea and enjoy the flowers, and then sent the two young ladies to a spa for maintenance.During the period, the two chatted about their family life, and it was easy to hear their status as carefree rich ladies in their words.

Talk about where the two of you plan to go during the Chinese New Year, who bought a new limited-edition sports car, who met a young butler when he was traveling, and who is now having a hot fight, and who has a newly opened restaurant with delicious food. The chef is invited from Michelin abroad...

During the conversation, they never worried about the word "money". Their "career" is also undertaken by their elders and husbands.

Live in two worlds completely different from ordinary people.

——In fact, there is a little bit of resemblance to Yin Sijin's habits that were revealed inadvertently.

The day passed smoothly without wind or waves, and Ke Shao'an even handed over the protection work to Bu Dao halfway, and took Yin Sijin to a tea room to drink tea alone.

Looking at Yin Sijin, who was almost a hundred times more particular than those noble ladies, Ke Shaoan guessed the other party's background and experience in his heart, and said, "You really like drinking tea."

The expression of enjoyment on that face cannot be faked.

But Ke Shao'an can basically only taste the deep bitterness inside, and he doesn't taste any fragrance or sweetness.

Yin Sijin said with a smile: "'Life is like tasting tea. Only when you know how to endure hardship can you return to sweetness'."

"Who said that?"

Yin Sijin just smiled.

He seemed to be very touched by this, and said softly: "'All hardships are rewarded', I hope everything can really be like this..."

Ke Shaochen nodded empathetically.

It was late at night when we came back, and the chef prepared a table of food and wine on time. Song Min went back to his room to change clothes, and then sat at the table silently waiting for the dishes to be served.

Ten minutes later, the courtyard door opened. Song Min listened carefully to the sound of cars in the courtyard, got up and walked towards the entrance.

Song Guo walked in from the outside.

"Dad, why are you here?" Song Min took the slippers for Song Guo and put them on the ground, and asked, "Where's Ah Xun?"

"He left work a long time ago, why hasn't he come back yet?" Song Guo was dissatisfied and scolded: "Where did he go to spend time and drink!"

Song Min hurriedly dealt with her husband: "Don't guess, he must be busy with work."

"Hmph." Song Guo took off his tie and mocked dissatisfiedly: "What can he do with the little things he does in the company all day long? Let alone a good job, thank God if he doesn't make trouble for me!"

Song Min lowered his head, with embarrassment that could not be concealed.

Song Guo: "I told you earlier that this man is cheating you. You don't believe me. You should believe it now! It's only been a few years, and the fox's tail is showing."

Song Min said angrily, "Why did Ah Xun lie to me!"

Song Guo stretched out his finger, pointed to the door, and said, "Then tell me, what did he do after he got off work and hang around until dark all day long? Discuss business matters? Who do you discuss with? Why don't I know? Discuss it." The result is that none of the tasks entrusted to him were done well, and almost made a mistake? Do you know what people in the company say about him!"

Song Min hurriedly said, "Did someone from the company bully him?"

"Bullying?" Song Guo almost laughed angrily, shook his head, and sighed: "You know that Dad's company has encountered some problems recently, and he is busy making connections everywhere. But Zhong Xunhao was dead, and he went to a nightclub the day before yesterday Fooling around, fighting with the second child of the Huang family—the one that Dad said he wanted you to be with—in public! He even broke the bridge of his nose. Now the only one who can help Dad get through this difficult time Not only did my old friend not help, but he even made things difficult for the company. Your Uncle Huang told me that I was not kind enough! If you married the Huang family back then, Dad wouldn’t be in trouble now. You're just going to piss me off!"

Song Min bit her lower lip and said angrily, "Huang Jue must have troubled Ah Xun first. He lost face because of my remorse, so he took revenge on Ah Xun—he even told people about Ah Xun in private. They eat soft food!"

"Isn't he a softie?" Song Guo asked loudly with his eyes wide open, pointing at Song Min and said, "Didn't he fascinate you so much that you're so obsessed that you don't even want Dad?"

Song Min said anxiously: "Where do I have——!"

Song Guo stretched out his hand to stop him, signaled Song Min not to speak, and continued: "If you are not obsessed with ghosts, you would never think of someone who would take revenge on someone, who broke his own nose? It is clear that Zhong Xun took the initiative to lead people to provoke trouble, When the police came, the surveillance cameras captured everything clearly! Who spoke first, and who made the first move!"

Song Min was so anxious that his voice was filled with tears: "Ah Xun is not that kind of person, Dad, don't you understand it best? If it weren't for the kindness of others, Dad, you wouldn't have let me marry him back then..."

"People will change, my child." Song Guo was heartbroken and said anxiously: "Why don't you understand!!"

"Ah Xun hasn't changed! I'm his wife, how can I not know!" Song Min wiped his tears there: "He just went to work to socialize, there was no other way, he tried so hard to help Dad, Dad, you guys Why don't you know him?"

Song Guo kept shaking his head, he couldn't make any sense with this innocent daughter.

He doesn't understand?He has been in and out of society for decades, and has seen all kinds of people. Can the information obtained from the investigation and the photos taken be fake?That person is doing one thing in front of everyone and another behind his back, can Song Guo not see it?

It's only this silly daughter who has a small social circle and little knowledge, so she was deceived by that person's rhetoric, it's really pissing him off!

Just when the two of you couldn't talk to me, and I couldn't persuade you, there was another sound of a car motor outside the house, and Song Min immediately responded when he heard the familiar voice: "It's Ah Xun!"

Then he glanced at Song Guo nervously, and begged, "Dad, don't say that kind of thing in front of Ah Xun again."

Song Guo couldn't help but let out another long sigh.I thought if the family didn't talk about it, they would meet at the company all day long, and they would not be able to say anything they wanted to say.Helplessly full of exhaustion, he was completely speechless to his daughter.

The door opened, and Zhong Xun, who smelled of alcohol, came from outside the house in messy clothes. When he saw the two people standing at the door, he froze for a moment, and said, "Xiao Min, Dad."

Song Guo said displeased: "Where have you been?"

Zhong Xun replied: "There is a client for entertainment."

Song Min stepped forward, touched Zhong Xun's face with his palm, and asked with concern, "Why did you drink so much?"

Zhong Xun stroked Song Min's hand, smiled softly and said, "Sorry, there's nothing I can do outside."

Song Min hurriedly said, "I'll make you hangover soup."

Zhong Xun: "It's too troublesome, let the master do it."

"It's okay." Song Min said with a smile: "I made it, don't you like to drink it?"

Zhong Xun then laughed and nodded: "Yeah."

Song Guo was very dissatisfied with the picture of the loving couple between you and me—if Zhong Xun and Song Min's relationship was not really good, he would not tolerate Zhong Xun staying in his house for so many years—and asked: " I don't know who you are socializing with."

Zhong Xun was vague: "Just those people I'm working with now."

Song Guo sneered: "Those people you work with? Didn't they go abroad? Did you drink with them by plane?"

Zhong Xun: "It's their subordinate, I'll ask them about something."

Song Guo mocked: "That's really an excuse, I can't talk to the tiger and watch him go away, but I can fight fiercely with a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

Song Min was upset and called out, "Dad!"

Song Guo didn't speculate for half a sentence, and he found himself full of anger. He turned around and retrieved the clothes that had just been hung up from the hanger. He didn't want to sit down and take a rest, so he put it on his body and said to Zhong Xun: "Get up early tomorrow morning and go to work. Don't go to work with a listless face all day long. You don't know whether you are going to the funeral or to work."

Zhong Xun lowered his head and silently listened to being scolded without answering, Song Min's voice became shrill: "Dad, what are you doing, why are you always like this! Ah Xun went to the company to help you, didn't you say, now you go It's too much to criticize him so harshly!"

Song Guo was so confused by this daughter that he almost couldn't help it. He said "OK, OK", sighed irritably, and then pointed at the bodyguards inside, especially Ke Shao'an and Bu Dao. He nodded, then turned and left with a sigh.

Song Min got angry and dragged Zhong Xun to go inside, but didn't look at his father, but went to see him off.

After not seeing each other for a day, Song Min was very happy that Zhong Xun came back to eat with her on time, so he took Zhong Xun to wash his hands first, and then they sat side by side at the dining table.

With a smile on her face, Song Min talked to her husband who had been busy for a day with great interest about what happened to her today, showed Zhong Xun her paintings and asked if she had made any progress, then brought up the topic with her girlfriends, and asked Zhong Xun very excitedly In a few days, do you want to go overseas to see the sea and take a ship, and then dive into the ocean to get close to killer whales.

"Orcas are very docile and have a high IQ! I heard that they are full of emotions, and even suffer from depression after leaving their parents and children. They have their own language and a certain degree of social organization, which is amazing!" Song Min held On the mobile phone, Zhong Xun enthusiastically shared the photos posted by friends in his circle of friends: "Look, it's shocking to see it up close, but it will definitely be very moving when you actually see it. Come with me? Don't you like these too? Is it? Just take a break."

After quietly listening to Song Min's story, Zhong Xun looked at the photo seriously, and there was only a smile on his face the whole time without a hint of impatience, but when he finally heard Song Min's coquettish request, he hesitated for a while, and said sorry: "I'm sorry. Xiao Min, my dad asked me to go outside with him during the Chinese New Year, and to manage our relationship. Recently, there have been too many troubles in the company... and in the past few days, everyone was very busy. Empty..."

Song Min was not discouraged either: "What about after that year?"

Zhong Xun smiled reluctantly: "I will try my best."

"..."

However, Song Min saw the embarrassed expression on her husband's face, and a flash of disappointment flashed in her eyes.Silently turning off the phone screen, he said: "It's okay, I know there are many things in the company. Dad used to be like this. He didn't see anyone once in ten and a half months, flying all over the world. I'm very satisfied that you can go home on time every day."

Zhong Xun felt very sorry for Song Min, held Song Min's hand and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being useless."

"Don't talk like that!" Song Min's voice became louder: "You have given up your dream for me, I am the one who is sorry for you!"

She wished she could treat the other party better, how could she blame Zhong Xun for being useless.

Zhong Xun said with a helpless smile: "But the fact is that..."

Song Min couldn't help being sad after hearing this, and looked at Zhong Xun with distress, got up and stood behind Zhong Xun, reached out and squeezed the man's generous, stiff and tired shoulders, and said: "I'll make you soup, you go wash it first Wash, go to bed early, and wake up in the morning to be refreshed."

Zhong Xun nodded, smiled and said "yes", then sincerely thanked the bodyguards around him, said hello, and turned to the bedroom to prepare to change and wash.

Ke Shao'an stood on the spot and commented in a low voice: "It looks harmless to humans and animals, and the relationship with Song Min doesn't seem to be faking."

Just like just now.The daily life of Song Min and Zhong Xun is so different. Most people would be very impatient to hear these trivial things after a busy day at work, but Zhong Xun listened patiently and earnestly, even revealing "that's That’s enough” gentle smile, it can be seen that he really likes Song Min, and the friendship between the two of them is also worthy of recognition.

But I always feel that there is something wrong with Zhong Xun.

Yin Sijin said: "There is something wrong."

Although Song Guo asked Ke Shaochen to protect Song Min, Yin Sijin never saw any signs of death on Song Min's face since the first meeting.On the contrary, Song Guo's face looks quite bad. It seems that if he makes a wrong move, he will die on the street without warning.

And this bell--

Bu Dao said: "He must have killed many people personally or indirectly, and the murderous intent in his eyes is too obvious."

Ke Shaochen was stunned, and finally remembered the reason for that little bit of something wrong.

eyes.

Zhong Xun's eyes were exactly the same as Bu Dao's.

They are also gentle and elegant in disguise, especially easy to talk to.

But the eyes he looked at the people around him were exactly the same cold-blooded, ruthless and inhuman.He doesn't take human life seriously at all, he doesn't care, he doesn't feel pity, just like looking at an ant that can be easily crushed.

Ke Shao’an’s first impression of Zhong Xun was fixed by the information he first investigated and the paintings on the wall, which almost caused him to miss such an obvious abnormality, and misunderstood Zhong Xun’s personality.

Fortunately, Bu Dao's reminder made him aware of it in time.

Ke Shaochen said in a low voice: "So, Song Guo was aware of what Zhong Xun was doing in private, so he was worried about his daughter's safety and came to us."

Bu Dao: "Master is wise, it should be like this."

However, Yin Sijin turned his gaze away, looked at a landscape painting on the wall, savoring the long meaning of tranquility, remoteness, warmth and refreshingness inside, and was puzzled in his heart.

——Can people's transformation really be so fast and so big?
