Eros kisses Psyche

The filter fell off and shattered to the ground, Xu Budie put back his happy little heart by himself, and was a little calm: Sure enough, Cheng Zhu is still the same Cheng Zhu, so he knows that he can't be so handsome, this feeling is much safer.

Suddenly, a delicate female voice called out: "Professor Cheng~ Are you ready~ Let's go to the front~ It's your turn~"

Xu Budie: "..."

No wonder Cheng Zhu wanted to come to the men's room with the appearance of being raped.

Xu Budie: "Is it time for you to give a speech? Then why are you still here? You can't pretend to be peeing just because there is a more enthusiastic girl outside..."

Cheng Zhu quickly denied: "No, no, it's none of her business, she's just a master of ceremonies."

"Then what are you hiding from?"

"I..." Cheng Zhu hesitated to speak, with a look of embarrassment on his face, he covered up his collar like a daughter-in-law, "Oh,...the troubles of adults."

In the lounge not far away, the peerless beauty Gao Feng sat sideways, with a melancholy expression on her face, as if she was ready to jump off the window sill at any moment.

Xu Budie and Cheng Zhu hid by the door, peeking through the door like Tom and Jerry.

Even Xu Budie can't stand it anymore, who doesn't have the feeling of pity and pity: "...What's the matter, what did you do to bully others like this?"

Cheng Zhu pointed to the neckline that was ripped open, and shouted out his grievances with his mouth: "The victim is me, it's me, okay?"

Xu Budie took a deep breath: "...Could it be that the beautiful woman wants to force her bow on your overlord..."

"...That's not the case, but she... is my leader anyway," Cheng Zhu gestured in the air with his hand a few times inexplicably, "...you understand?"

"……not understand."

Professor Cheng breathed out, and wrapped his hands around Xu Budie's head: "That's right, what am I talking about to a little boy who has never been in a relationship."

"Why have I never been in a relationship?" Xiao Xu was unconvinced.

"Huh? Didn't you say you didn't talk about friends last time?"

"I haven't talked about it because I haven't talked about it now, and it's not that I haven't been in love before." Xu Budie protested in a low voice.

"I can't tell, she has a lot of experience." Cheng Zhu teased him, "In short, she has a big reputation for Sino-foreign cooperation, and she wants to start a cooperation project with me. She (sigh), she's going to announce at the meeting in a while!... I can't agree to it, and I won't be able to run away after she announces it. I can't let her get down in front of so many people, can I? Then Haven't I torn up her cancer-hanging fan groups? So I have to hurry up and have other key projects."

Xu Budie was stunned, it sounds like a good thing, "Why can't you agree?"

"...A man and a woman can't kiss each other."

"puff."

"You're still laughing!" Cheng Zhu said with a sad face, "What's the difference between marrying me far away in the Western Regions? Marriage is free!"

... The question turned out to be a marriage.

"What now?"

"I'll explain my new project as soon as I go in, and you can give me a ride."

"...how... pocket?"

"Just to make a joke."

After all, Xiao Xu was born as an all-rounder, knowing that being a trustee in this business is actually a quick-paying job, so he is not completely unfamiliar.He spontaneously felt a duty of service, patted his chest and said, "It's all on me."

In fact, Cheng Zhu has long been an ant on the hot pot in his heart, and he is not as calm as he appears on the surface.

Gao Feng's meaning, he is not a fool, nor is he impotent, he still understands it quite well.But after all, he is no longer a 20-year-old boy. A beautiful woman smiles, just like Jing Jianian and Xiao Xu who just saw her yesterday. The rice still functions and is immune to this condition.

Rong Wanqin smiled at him in the same way back then, with a smile, and another smile, the young and energetic self took the bait, without giving him any other chance to choose.Later you were bound, do you want to regret it?no way.

What's more, Gao Feng's situation is more complicated, she has more fans, and she has always existed as the flower of Gaoling, satisfying the goddess needs of nerds in the sculpture world. If she is willing to "please pick more", Even if that person doesn't have such thoughts, her fans can also make you feel overwhelmed.

From another perspective, Cheng Zhu is indeed... a bit fearful of women.He is not sensitive to women like Rong Wanqin. Of course, in fact, he also knows that not everyone is his ex-wife. Chairman Gao has a good reputation in all aspects. Ten and a half of ten men will not hesitate to take the opportunity to enhance their relationship. After all, so A beautiful woman, if you can't buy a loss, you can't buy a fool.But psychologically, I just can't pass that test. After all, Chairman Gao seems weak, but he can actually control the Sculpture Association from an 80-year-old man to a 20-year-old stunned man. super strong.

He is now afraid of strong women who want to control.To put it incorrectly and irregularly, if only relying on beauty, 20-year-old youthful female students are everywhere in the university, seductiveness is enough.

Gao Feng wanted to cooperate with him on a project, but it was not a discussion with him, but a half order and half coercion. If he inadvertently let him know when he was about to give a speech, it seemed to be accepted as a matter of course, and fundamentally put an end to it. the possibility of your rejection.When she announces in front of global industry experts, what else can you say, crying, making trouble, and hanging herself?If you don’t just cook raw rice, others will persuade you that everything that should happen has happened, and it’s not as important as fame...

Cheng Zhu smiled wryly. If it was more serious, it could be said to be sexual harassment in the workplace. It’s just that he was harassed by Gao Feng. I can sit still in my arms, is that a human being?Could it be that brother is suffering from some kind of chronic illness, no wonder his ex-wife is willing to leave his only son behind and leave with hatred...

In order to avoid this kind of wordless gossip, Cheng Zhu could only do his best to find a way to push it away and solve the problem from the root.

Cheng Zhu had already tactfully refused once just now, but the BOSS didn't listen, and smiled and called the hostess to deal with him, intending to drive him to the front desk ahead of time, so Cheng Zhu was forced to hide in the bathroom, just in time to bump into Xiao Xu.

With confidence this time, he pulled Xu Budie back to the lounge, pretending to be on the phone while walking: "...Well, I understand... Has there been any progress? Yes, the project has been approved. Hmm... I just want to make sure... Don't worry,..."

He said to Gao Feng: "Chairman Gao, look, I just made a special phone call to confirm that the previous project of the Provincial Cultural Bureau cooperated with our school. I want to bring a student group to apply for this year's competition. Those who have political tasks, I really can't push it away..." He stretched out the phone, "Look, I'm not lying to you, I have to lead the team when I go back."

Xu Budie hurriedly praised: "Yes, yes, our teacher Cheng has a lot of projects, and we have to teach hundreds of students. It's not to save your face, but it is really lack of energy."

Cheng Zhu glanced at Xu Budie with satisfaction, and felt Xiao Xu's benefits at this moment. If he was carrying Jing Jianian now, he would definitely not be so eloquent, and I'm afraid he would say the wrong thing.

Gao Feng looked at him resentfully: "Of course I know that you have several projects, and none of us have them, so there is no delay. I have already discussed with Charles, this is a national cooperation project..."

Cheng Zhu rolled his eyes a little, his patience was exhausted.The cooperation that Gao Feng got was said to be at the national level, and he was using word games to label him. After all, it is not a public-to-public national project, but just a joint work that wants to participate in international competitions. joint name of the studio.

However, in terms of theory, artistic breakthroughs, and actual technology in the sculpture industry, our country is indeed lagging far behind others, so this also has a gold-plated meaning. As long as the joint works win awards, Cheng Zhu will be an international master in the future, and he can rely on the gold-lettered signboard If you accept the job, your living standard can take another leap.

But Cheng Zhu didn't have any requirements for the quality of life, as long as it was enough for him to buy materials and ensure the operation of the studio.This is enough on his own.He doesn't really aspire to become a world-class master immediately, and there is indeed room for further improvement in his own level. Moreover, after the divorce, he is indeed a bit empty and feels bad.At this time, it is hard to get a job without a reputation, and you can't see it yourself, so don't make jokes for foreign friends.

"I don't need you to be busy or something. I'm still here?" Gao Feng said with a smile, "Let's discuss it together. It just so happens that I have a few drafts that are quite good. We can combine them to get twice the result with half the effort."

Cheng Zhu's eyebrows slightly shrugged in an unknown way.Gao Feng is the chairman of the industry and also in charge of industry magazines.A lot of drafts in her hand were handed in from her subordinates. For example, a conference like this city fair must have an exhibition area, and many people would send their manuscripts.

Before he could say anything, Xiao Xu rushed ahead of Cheng Zhu and said, "Chairman Gao, such a joint name means nothing to Teacher Cheng."

The beauty's eyes swept over him.

Xu Budie suddenly felt that he had been stabbed in the neck by a snake, and suddenly understood what a "femme fatale" was; he knew that Cheng Zhu was not suitable for confronting her on this issue, and that no one else would offend this tall man. Madam President, it is time for me to come in handy.He didn't feel worried either, thinking that I might not be able to do your job in the future. I'm not actually Cheng Zhu's disciple, so naturally I don't belong to your "chairman" faction, so I don't need to follow your rules. If I offend you, I will excuse me.In addition, he couldn't understand the beauty's words and deeds.

"That kind of joint name is for young people like us to mix their qualifications," Xiao Xu said naively and intentionally without holding back, "it's the same as signing a paper on the second or third author. Isn't it the same? That can't be done. It's a work, it's just a tool. When we reach Professor Cheng's level, we don't need to use gold plating to prove ourselves, and this job can be continued, even if it is next, let us do it." He blinked, Some pretended to be ingratiating and said to Cheng Zhu, "The senior brother wants to lead the competition, and the second senior brother wants to substitute for the class. I think it's better to leave it to me to make pop-style neo-realist pan sculptures. It's so easy to fool. I'm good at it."

He said this because he saw from the brochure that Charles Chadwick’s CI studio is good at installing sculptures in the style of neo-realism. In short, it looks extremely abstract, unlike sculptures. In fact, it is also the sculptures of today’s colleges and universities. The style that young students here love to imitate most.After all, a large number of living materials will reduce the requirements for basic skills of traditional sculpture, and grotesque, satirical and exaggerated themes are liked and pursued by young people. ——In a word, form is greater than content.

Cheng Zhu sometimes does pan-sculptures, but he always has a solid foundation, and he doesn't like styles that overly sensationalize.He does city sculptures as well as shelves, but he is still far from the top level in the industry.The aggressiveness of the artistic impulse in his youth seems to be smoothed unconsciously, turning into a crumpled piece of basswood, which is also forced by the wind, knife, frost and sword of life.But if you want to say that you are old, you don't seem to be old at the age of thirty, you can still break through, you can still fight, but there are so few inspirations, some motivations, and some opportunities.It's as if your life is rushing away with "the wax torch turns to ashes and tears begin to dry". Unfortunately, this candle of mine burns to the middle of wishful thinking. It is neither new nor old, neither up nor down. I had no choice but to look at the remaining wax oil and candle wick, with more energy than energy.

Now, when he saw Xu Budie standing in front of him aggressively like a little lion, his breasts were so fierce, he felt a little hot burning his hands, and he was so cute and fluffy.For a moment, he didn't want to stop him from barging his teeth and claws towards the peak.

Gao Feng looked at Xu Budie, then turned to look at him, and smiled slightly: "Did you accept a new apprentice?" She also knew the two graduate students of Cheng Zhu.Cheng Zhu thought it was troublesome, and he brought very few graduate students, so he just memorized it casually.Although Cheng Zhu brought two students over this time, if he can ask the master to do it for him, it must be at the master level.

Cheng Zhu folded his arms and smiled, without protruding: "Yes, this is a young junior who has just started."

"If I insist on pushing it to you, do you really let him do it?"

"That's not the only way. Besides, we have different styles, and we haven't worked together before. Isn't this letting me hold Chairman Gao back?" Cheng Zhu pretended to have sore teeth, "I'm not pop , without equipment, and the country can’t keep up with the trend of new humanism. You asked me to communicate with foreigners, but you have to leave it to young people. I took the team to play in this year’s college competition, and it happened that Chairman Gao had an idea, so you and She communicates more and learns more." The last few sentences were said to Xu Budie on purpose.

Xiao Xu also understood, and praised him very cooperatively: "That is, it is absolutely no problem to leave it to me. Chairman Gao, please take care of me."

Gao Feng made such a big detour on purpose in order to create more opportunities to get in touch with Cheng Zhu, and then found that Cheng Zhu also took a long detour and threw her to the interns, so he was naturally very upset.What's more, people say that for this sake, although there is a good face everywhere, but every sentence is soft, it feels a bit like a hot face with a cold ass.

She turned cold: "Then since you're so busy and don't have any ideas for new works, you probably won't be participating in the China-Japan-Korea Invitational Exhibition this year?"

This exhibition is not as honorable as the Muse Award that CI Studio extended an olive branch to them, but it is a relatively famous sculpture exhibition in Asia, and it is an exhibition that Chinese artists participated in more.Although it is an invitational exhibition, there is a pre-judgment in China, and Gao Feng is naturally holding the quota in his hands.She said this out of anger, but she was also declaring her authority.

Cheng Zhu looked at her and knew that this was a soft threat; plus, he seemed to have lived a comfortable life in the past two years, and he had to substitute for a class, so he felt that the breakthrough in the awards was really not that big after the stage was turned behind the scenes.Of course, my fame is not in vain, and I was brilliant in the past. The works displayed in the conference brochure were still a few years ago, but they were only placed in the hotel for Jing Jianian to show off everywhere, which made him blush.

He didn't speak in denial.To be honest, even if Gao Feng doesn’t give him this soft nail, he doesn’t really know whether he can send selected works to participate, and whether he can get the qualification if he participates. .

At this moment, the master of ceremonies knocked on the door again, came in with his head, and said softly, "Professor Cheng, please get ready, it will be your turn next."

Cheng Zhu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and stood up, lowering his head and following her to go out.There is nothing to talk about with Gao Feng anymore, the words have already been said in a tactful way, if she pushes them again, they will know that it is meaningless to each other, it is not the tacit balance of adults.Taking a step back and bowing your head is tantamount to admitting cowardice in front of Gao Feng, believing that you are no longer the top of the country, and it is impossible to not suffer any losses.To be a strong woman like this, he thought he didn't need to understand it - Rong Wanqin was like this too.Even if she was looking for a man, she had to be at the top of the industry, otherwise her proud self-esteem would not be appreciated and would make people laugh.

Hey, endure the calm for a while, take a step back, who hasn't read "Song of Not Getting Angry", "Then I will..."

"--join!"

But Xu Budie rushed to explode ahead of him like a firecracker, with a bang, his chest was red from his face to his neck.

Cheng Zhu himself was taken aback by the explosion, thinking how easily he blush, it's because the little black skin is not easy to show, it was also in the toilet just now...

Just thinking about being in a daze, he was dragged away by Xu Budie, and the kid didn't forget to slam the door shut: "Chairman Gao, goodbye, bye!"

With a bang, several people in the sound control room raised their heads to look; Xu Budie angrily dragged him to the waiting area: "I don't feel sorry for her when she jumped off the window sill!"

Cheng Zhu couldn't help laughing: "This is the venue, the first floor, it's okay to jump down."

"Oh, then let her dance! How rare! You can bully people because you are beautiful!" Xu Budie turned into a puffer fish, "Just participate and win big prizes, and you don't need to cooperate with anyone from other countries to watch." The face of a person, pissed her off!"

"You think I can?"

"Yes! Why can't you? Why can't you? You can!"

Cheng Zhu laughed, he hadn't received such pure and unaffected support for a long time.I became famous when I was young, and I had my own studio when I was still studying; I did well in whatever I did later on, and everything went smoothly, but it seemed that I didn’t have the brilliant talent that exploded the world at the beginning, and I always felt that Something short of something.

Xu Budie worked hard, and suddenly recalled, shrinking his neck: "...I... Did I cause you trouble?...I, yes, what was I thinking? I, suddenly I was about to say it for a while... I didn't ask what you mean..."

"It's okay." Cheng Zhu rubbed the round head in front of him, "Just wait for me here."

He walked onto the stage to the applause.The lights of the venue shone brightly, shining brightly on the people, so how could it not be gold-plated once?The topics he talked about were not new, and the content was very common. The cases he showed were his own works several years ago, and he kept repeating the same set of rhetoric.As soon as he walked up, the background screen had released the PPT screen in coordination, and he didn't even pay much attention to it, and changed the previous one.

Such a state is not worthy of a wish under the setting sun.

He looked at the large-character headline reflected behind him, and couldn't help laughing: "What is this, it's not good at all."

The audience was dumbfounded, no one knew what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.Many foreign friends pressed the simultaneous interpretation machine one after another, thinking that the translation was wrong.

Cheng Zhu fiddled with the page presenter in his hand, and quickly pulled it to the case atlas. "These works, from the current point of view, are all clichés, and have no communication value. Well, I see it the same way. Although it is not bad, it is not good enough. There is no breakthrough, and it is a bit empty. The thinking has always been It is opportunistic, and there is not much improvement in technique."

Just now, when he invited Shang Gaofeng, he went around such a big circle and made so many excuses. It's not that he didn't want to cooperate with a well-known foreign studio just because of the different style. It’s rare; but in the final analysis, what I don’t want to admit is that art speaks by works.It is a fact that I have not had particularly good works in recent years.

But a man, how can he say that he can't do it.

But now, in front of everyone, he has mercilessly criticized his own work, and he actually feels good.It's time to be scolded a long time ago. Just like this, we still communicate. It's better to be scolded by yourself than to be slandered by others, right?

"I'm sorry, these are nothing interesting, so I won't waste everyone's time." He went straight to the stage and deleted all the works he brought to preach.

Just pressing a few keys lightly, there was only a bright blank on the screen. He was bathed in this large expanse of white light, and he suddenly felt relaxed.

"Bring a better work next time." He nodded towards the astonished crowd, and left the grotesque stage calmly.
