my little sir

During the lunch break, Wen Qiling worriedly called Fang Yimin, but Yu Wenyue finally answered.

Yu Wenyue reassured Wen Qiling, saying that Fang Yimin was extremely busy, as if he had been beaten to death, and had no time to pick up his mobile phone beside him.

Wen Qiling asked Yu Wenyue to remind Mr. Xiao to remember to eat lunch. Just now, Song Xi sent lunch in.

Wen Qiling beckoned someone to come in, Song Xi put the lunch on the coffee table, turned to leave, saw the other party hung up the phone, thought about it and then turned back.

"Mr. Wen, there is an art exhibition on Qiyun Road, Huishi City. Have you visited it?"

Wen Qiling got up and sat beside the sofa, and replied: "No, I originally wanted to take Yi Min there, but later the plan changed, and we went on a short trip together."

"Oh."

"What's wrong?" Wen Qiling felt a little strange, and looked up at Song Xi.

Song Xi smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I had time to look at it before, and I saw Mr. Fang's work and found it amazing."

"Imin's painting?" Wen Qiling was a little surprised.

Song Xi nodded: "Well, it's just a private collection, not for sale."

Wen Qiling remembered the "First Encounter" that Zhou Changyuan mentioned last time, and suddenly became interested and wanted to take a look.So after lunch, he drove to the location of the art exhibition.

-

There are not many people watching the art exhibition at noon, the gallery covers a large area, and the Chinese-style architecture and European-style art are perfectly combined.

The Chinese-style exhibition hall is decorated in an antique style, and most of the exhibits are ink paintings, as well as some calligraphers' calligraphy. In addition to a few oil paintings, there are also some ultra-modern art paintings in the European-style art exhibition hall.

In the area in the center of the gallery, there are several rows of sofas for people to rest.Mr. Xiao's paintings hang on the wall in the central area.

Although Wen Qiling loves to read books and drink tea, and his taste is considered elegant, he really can't appreciate these so-called artistic paintings.

The ink paintings in the Chinese-style exhibition hall can still be seen. Those abstract paintings intertwined with messy lines and colors are really difficult to understand.

Even though there are a few copies of famous paintings, he understands their significance and artistic value, but he is still incapable of appreciating them.

In fact, he didn't understand Fang Yimin's painting very well.It's just that the picture uses dark colors, which gives people a gloomy feeling. Only that ray of light is the only bright color in the whole picture.

The name of the work and the author is attached to the bottom of the painting, but it is specially marked in red letters: private collection, not for sale.

Wen Qiling stood in front of the painting for a long time, and suddenly heard someone beside him sigh: "Isn't it beautiful?"

The man next to him was tall, at least 190, wearing a three-piece dark plaid suit and a lead gray long coat. His hair was meticulously groomed, giving him the feeling of an elite man.

He turned his head and smiled at Wen Qiling: "The first time I saw this painting, I thought it was so beautiful. A tree loves the sun."

Wen Qiling looked at the painting and repeated: "Trees, love the sun?"

"Yes, it's a pity that the author doesn't paint much now." The man's tone was full of regret.

A sense of guilt surged in Wen Qiling's heart. Although he didn't make Mr. Xiao give up painting, he always felt that he couldn't get away from it.

Wen Qiling murmured: "It's really a pity."

After hearing this, the man introduced with a smile: "My name is Ye Junwen, and I am the owner of this gallery."

"Hello." Wen Qiling shook hands with the other party and said, "Wen Qiling."

Ye Junwen sent out an invitation: "There is also a copy of his "Starry Night" here, do you want to see it?"

"Okay." Wen Qiling nodded.

The background of "Starry Sky" is naturally dark blue or black, and the screen is dotted with bright or dark stars, which is beautiful and mysterious.

"Everyone thinks that the author drew the Milky Way, or a random nebula, but it's not." There was light in Ye Junwen's eyes, "This is the solar system."

After the other party said this, Wen Qiling looked at it from a different angle, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "He hid the sun."

"That's right." It's rare to find someone who appreciates the works of this unpopular artist as much as himself. Ye Junwen is very enthusiastic. "Looking at it from another angle, you can actually see that eight planets are skillfully hidden in the entire nebula, including the sun."

"The author is really good at using light and visual illusions." Ye Junwen sighed, "Perhaps out of selfishness, just like the "First Encounter", he hid his beloved sun."

Wen Qiling thought of the "first love" that Fang Linlin and Fang Yimin talked about last time, and her mood was a little complicated.

He pointedly said: "The sun is just an ordinary star in the Milky Way. The universe is vast. If you have traveled the vast universe and seen more unique planets, you will not feel that the sun is special."

Ye Junwen didn't hear what the other party meant, and continued: "I have collected several of his paintings, and I have two more at home. It's a pity that he hasn't painted in the past few years, otherwise my gallery would be filled with his paintings." painting."

"It can be seen that you like this author very much." Wen Qiling glanced at Ye Junwen and asked, "Maybe you know each other?"

"I like it very much." Ye Junwen didn't know whether he didn't pay attention to Wen Qiling's last sentence, or deliberately ignored and didn't answer, he just nodded and said, "I think his paintings resonated with me."

Fang Yimin's paintings were all marked not for sale, so Wen Qiling didn't force others to do anything. When he drove back, he was still thinking, who was Mr. Xiao's sun?

That person was hidden in the deepest part of Mr. Xiao's heart during his youngest years.Perhaps in those most difficult and suffering moments, during countless tossing and turning nights, that person appeared in Mr. Xiao's mind countless times, occupying his whole heart, and bringing light and comfort to Mr. Xiao.

To be secretly in love with such a wonderful person as Mr. Xiao, and to create such a work, that person is really lucky.

Wen Qiling felt a little envious and jealous for no reason. He suddenly remembered what he said at the time when he wanted to invest in Mr. Xiao's studio.

Mr. Xiao said that he no longer has the passion and motivation to create, and his achievements can only stop at the time when he won the award, and he can no longer create miracles.

Wen Qiling's heart seemed to be crushed by a stone, and even his breathing seemed difficult.He didn't know what he was anxious and irritable, he seemed to be vaguely aware of something, but he couldn't grasp it.

As long as you are working, you will be distracted.Wen Qiling was busy all afternoon, and before getting off work, he called Dr. He.

Dr. He was about to get off work, but he didn't expect the benefactor to call, so he had to put down the briefcase in his hand again.Fortunately, my daughter-in-law is working overtime, so it doesn't matter if I go home or not.

Work overtime to earn some extra money, and buy snacks for my daughter-in-law, which are delicious.

The dessert shop is not open today, but the LED fluorescent board reads that it is closed today and will open normally tomorrow.

Yu Wenyue was sitting on the table next to the store entrance to start a live broadcast. When she heard the wind chime when the store door opened, she turned her head and reminded: "Today is temporarily closed, come back tomorrow."

Seeing that the other party was Wen Qiling, she smiled and waved her hands to say hello: "Oh, little A*ether is in the kitchen."

Wen Qiling only stayed in Dr. He's office for more than half an hour, asked some questions, and then drove to Fang Yimin's dessert shop.

Yu Wenyue's phone was held low, and Wen Qiling's face was not photographed, but the proportions of her figure and long legs were enough to make the live broadcast room start screaming.

"Okay, you go first." Wen Qiling nodded, and walked to the kitchen.

Everyone in the live broadcast room was asking about the relationship between the handsome guy with a nice voice and Mr. Xiao, and some people swiped the screen below saying that they had to look at their faces.

Yu Wenyue only took pictures of each other's backs. Seeing everyone's dissatisfaction and complaints, she educated everyone, saying that it's not good to take pictures of people without their consent, and then she took the topic away.

Wen Qiling did not go directly into the kitchen, but stood outside the kitchen, looking at Fang Yimin who was checking all the work and equipment.

Mr. Xiao is wearing a white apron and sleeves, and works very seriously.Although the clothes are simple, and even some flour is still on the body, it has a special charm.

Fang Yimin had a communication problem with a pastry chef, and only after the communication did he find Wen Qiling standing outside.

"How did you come?"

"Why can't I come?" Wen Qiling asked back with a smile.

Fang Yimin took people out and said, "I might be late today, you don't need to pick me up, go back first."

While Fang Yimin was talking, the store manager hurried over and said that the dessert cupboard that was broken two days ago had been replaced, and he asked Fang Yimin to confirm and sign for it.

Fang Yimin was about to watch, but Wen Qiling grabbed his arm.

Wen Qiling said to the store manager: "For this kind of thing, the store manager needs to confirm it himself. For the reimbursement that should be reimbursed, you don't need to be reimbursed and just keep the receipt."

Wen Qiling's words were not harsh, but there was an air of unquestionable and refusal in his tone.The store manager glanced at Fang Yimin in a panic, quickly nodded in response, and turned around to deal with it.

"Tsk, why are you still doing it for me?" Fang Yimin complained dissatisfied.

Wen Qiling said, "It's so tiring for you to do everything by yourself. You have done everything, and what the people below do."

"I'm just a small dessert shop, and I'm not like Mr. Wen, who has to manage such a big company."

"Don't you still want to open the chain?" Wen Qiling's eyes were teasing, but there was no teasing or sarcasm in his eyes.

"Although the leader leads the entire team, the spirit of the team can be reflected by doing things personally, and the executive ability and prestige of the leader can also be reflected in the management process, but doing everything by yourself is too exhausting and heartbreaking.

For small things like putting in the cabinet, you need to explain the style you need, determine the latest arrival time, and tell the team members to do it.The prices of these things are transparent, and the amount is not large, so there is no need to worry about the price difference from the people below. "

"And you have to give a little trust to the people in the team, so that they have the space and value to play and improve. If you focus on everything too closely, it will be counterproductive. You are just a store now. If you want to open a chain in the future, you must have no skills."

Fang Yimin stared blankly at Wen Qiling, at this moment, Mr. Wen was shining!

[The author has something to say: Mr. Xiao: Look, Mr. Wen is shining!

Mr. Wen: Turn off the light.

PS. I may not be very professional in writing the part I drew, mainly for the sake of transition and foreshadowing the plot, just take a look~]
