Just got to work on Monday, and Yi Ran first received a notice to go to the meeting at 09:30—Qi Ruizhai is about to turn [-] years old, and celebration is indispensable. warm up.Then she was assigned a new task - to lead the newcomer Zhou Yuxiao.

He said he was a newcomer, but he was actually an old one.Zhou Yuxiao has known her for more than half a year. They met at Qi Ruizhai's auction. Zhou Yuxiao is a rich second generation, and her father is in real estate. She likes to be arty, so she often goes to auctions to make money Something to please daddy.It's a coincidence that she doesn't know calligraphy, painting and antiques, and it happens that her father is not proficient in it either. Buying some rare items to pretend to be a cultural person, at first glance, she improves herself and pleases her father, and it kills two birds with one stone.

In Qi Ruizhai, Yi Ran has two places she frequents most, one is the art gallery and the other is the auction house.Her friend Xiang Shang works at the auction house as a business manager, while Xiang Shang's husband Xiao Sa works at the art museum. Both the art museum and the auction house are not far away from her restoration department. convenient.

That day was Qi Ruizhai's auction of a set of purple clay teapots in the shape of the twelve zodiac signs. Yi Ran went, and Zhou Yuxiao also went, and the two met just like that.Yi Ran had no feelings for Zhou Yuxiao, but Zhou Yuxiao was different. She fell in love with Yi Ran at first sight. She thought Yi Ran was very beautiful the first time she saw Yi Ran, and even more so at the second and third time. She thought she was too pretty. She was thick-skinned and familiar with herself, so she took the initiative to get close to Yi Ran. At first, Yi Ran saw her sister was cute, and she was unguarded. Zhou Yuxiao gave her her phone number after a short while. go.

Zhou Yuxiao just turned 25 years old this year. She has a sweet baby face. She just came back from studying in Australia last year. When she was studying abroad, she only had fun. After staying abroad for two years, she didn’t even speak English fluently, let alone homework. up.Since she came back, she has never had a regular job, and she has been mixed up with others. Anyway, the family has money, so she can do whatever she wants.It wasn't until she met Yi Ran that she changed her sexuality and knew that she was motivated, because her instinct told her that Yi Ran didn't like idiots, and she had to be motivated to get into Yi Ran's eyes.

Before coming to Qi Ruizhai, she had been working in her father's company, but she was really not interested in real estate, so she couldn't stand it after half a year.Then he thought of a good way to get the best of both worlds, and asked his father to find a relationship to get her to Qi Ruizhai, so that he could work "seriously" while paying attention to Yi Ran at any time.

Yi Ran knew that Zhou Yuxiao liked her, so she told her that she was married early in the morning, but she didn't expect Zhou Yuxiao to say eloquently: "I didn't chase you, I didn't become a mistress, and I didn't do anything immoral, I just liked you secretly. There's nothing wrong with it, it's very moral!"

Yi Ran had no choice but to let her go.

Now that Zhou Yuxiao came to Qi Ruizhai next time, Yi Ran saw through her thoughts at a glance, and her head suddenly grew bigger.She doesn't hate Zhou Yuxiao, but it's unlikely that she likes her. Zhou Yuxiao is a bit flamboyant, she likes to keep a low profile, and besides, the age difference of 5 years is too big for her.

In order to keep a distance from Zhou Yuxiao, she took out the diamond ring that had been kept in her bag and grabbed it on her finger, which means I am married, please pay attention to the distance between cars.She has never liked to wear jewelry, and the ring is awkwardly tight at first, like a magic spell, and she will take it off after the meeting, she thought.

She asked Zhou Yuxiao, "Do you know Chinese painting?"

Zhou Yuxiao replied honestly: "I can read it, but I don't understand it."

"Never studied art at all?"

"No...Actually...I learned it when I was in kindergarten..."

"Well, that doesn't count. Can you write calligraphy?"

"I can write, but I can't write well, like a dog crawling."

"Have you been exposed to framing or restoration before?"

"I have seen the mounting, but I have never touched the restoration."

These answers were expected, but Yi Ran didn't expect the girl to answer so honestly, and her favor for her instantly increased a lot.

Yi Ran said: "Our department recruits at most two people a year, and in some years we don't even recruit people. Now that you are here, you should study hard. If you don't know Chinese painting and calligraphy, it is difficult to achieve success in calligraphy and painting restoration. I suggest you choose ancient books. Restoration. Oh, and, if a doctor treats people, then as a restorer, he treats calligraphy and painting. The requirements for character and morality here far exceed the requirements for technology. All the entrances and exits of the workshop are equipped with The camera, don’t be nervous, the main purpose is to prevent theft, it’s okay to talk and laugh. Also, don’t waste repair materials. All the paper here is handmade paper. Try not to waste it, and try not to post the repaired things on Moments, so as not to cause trouble. That's all. Later, you can go and follow along later, read more and write down more, take it step by step."

"Learn from you?"

"No, learn from the mirror."

The mirror is Feng Zijing, a freshman who just arrived in June this year. He graduated from Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts. He is 22 years old. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his nose. safe.She learned from Yi Ran as soon as she came in. Yi Ran liked her very much, and she also respected Yi Ran very much. She felt that Yi Ran was good at craftsmanship, and her temper was always indifferent. Yes, I finally met one from the world, she almost regarded Yi Ran as a goddess, and often called "Goddess Goddess" in front of Yi Ran.

Yi Ran found the word "goddess" interesting, so she asked her, "What if you think your goddess farts too, and she's still a bad fart?"

"Ah?" Feng Zijing obviously didn't expect her goddess to say such words, and was a little dumbfounded.

"So, how can there be any goddess? No matter who it is, after a long time of contact, you will find that it is just an ordinary person."

"But, don't you have someone you admire?"

"Yes, I adore my parents."

"Is there nothing but parents?"

"I had it when I was a child," Yi Ran thought for a while, and said, "At that time, I admired Lin Huiyin very much, and even set the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University as my goal. Later, I found that I was not sensitive to numbers, and I couldn't eat architecture, so I changed it. art."

"I remember you don't like Yang Jiang the most?" Feng Zijing saw Yi Ran reading Yang Jiang's book, and Yi Ran said she liked Yang Jiang the most.

Yi Ran said: "I like Yang Jiang later, when I grow up."

"Then Yang Jiang is the goddess in your heart now!"

"No, Yang Jiang is sir." Yi Ran smiled gently and said, "Actually, when it comes to goddesses, only women like Lin Huiyin are worthy of this title, or women like Fang Junbi, Lin Haiyin, Zheng Pingru, Zhang Women like Chonghe, Fu Ying, and Fan Jinshi are also available. It’s just that the word goddess is so rotten now, so it’s okay not to use it.”

Feng Zijing blinked and realized that Yi Ran didn't like the word "goddess" very much, so she stopped calling her face to face, but she still called her when she turned her back.

Yi Ran has long been able to support the world alone, and leading newcomers has become a natural thing. In addition to Feng Zijing, she also brought a 23-year-old boy Wang Haijun. The young man is her younger brother. He graduated last year. , Everyone calls him Wang Xiaopang, but he is fat, and he is still very delicate in his work.

Yi Ran called Feng Zijing over and said, "This is Zhou Yuxiao, new here. You two should get to know each other first. I have to go to a meeting. Mirror, you will teach her how to make rice dumplings first, and then teach her how to make rice dumplings." She holds the paper, or ask her to help you when you hold the paper."

"Alright Sister Ran," Feng Zijing smiled warmly at Yi Ran, then squinted at Zhou Yuxiao, and said coldly, "Come with me."

Will this guy change his face in Sichuan opera?Zhou Yuxiao followed Feng Zijing to the studio next door while slandering her.

It was almost 09:30, Yi Ran came to the meeting room quickly, there were already many people, Xiang Shang had already helped her occupy a seat in the last row, she quietly walked over to sit down, first chat with Xiang Shang in a low voice Then put on the earphones and listen to the audio version of "Dream of Red Mansions" just downloaded yesterday. Her hair is so long that no one else can see her with earphones.She has been here for five years, and she has summed up an experience, that is, the repair team has nothing to do with general conferences.They rely on their handicrafts to make a living, and if problems arise, they organize discussions by themselves. It is impossible to discuss this at the conference. First, the repaired things need to be kept secret, and second, many people do not understand, so they cannot discuss it.

This meeting is mainly to review the glory of the first three quarters and look forward to the future of the fourth quarter. In addition, it is to arrange some details about the 300th anniversary of Qi Ruizhai and to inform the adjustment of personnel, such as the curator of the art museum. The retired deputy curator went to the top, the manager of the publishing house underwent surgery, and the deputy manager took over first, etc. It really didn't matter to Yi Ran and the others.

Yi Ran was wandering around the Red Mansion with her headphones on all the time, so she didn't hear the boss Liu Dezhi saying: "Ji Shui has worked at Sotheby's for five years. Although she is young, she has excellent work and rich experience. From today onwards, she will be in charge." We, the general manager of Qi Ruizhai Auction House, hope that everyone can cooperate with her work and strive for a higher level."

Xiang Shang patted Yi Ran's hand and said, "Hey, our new general manager is a beautiful woman! By the way, why does her name sound so familiar to me?"

Yi Ran took off her earphones and followed Xiang Shang's words to look forward. It happened that Ji Shui's gaze was also glued to her, and their gazes met just like that.

She thought she had misread it, so she squinted her eyes and looked hard again. That's right, it was Ji Shui.

she is alive!This was Yi Ran's first thought.

That face has not changed at all, no scars, no scars, no signs of age, but the eyes seem to be deeper, and there is more indescribable style.Yi Ran stared at her steadfastly, all kinds of emotions rushed into her brain, her face gradually paled, her heart began to churn, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Xiang Shang noticed her strangeness and asked her what was wrong, she said it was fine.She tried to sit upright for half a minute, but couldn't bear it anymore, so she stood up and left quietly.As soon as she walked out of the meeting room, she tripped over a flowerpot on the ground, and it happened that Wang Xiaopang passed by and helped her, so she didn't fall down.

She thanked Wang Xiaopang, and saw that there was a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, so she took it out by herself. Before Wang Xiaopang could speak, she asked, "Where's the lighter?"

Wang Xiaopang took out the lighter from his trouser pocket, saw that her face was not good, and asked concerned: "Sister Ran, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, let's go to work." She took the lighter and came to the top floor in a panic, lit a cigarette with shaking hands, took a deep breath, and tried to force back the tears that were about to come out of her eyes, and stared at it again. The sky above the head is not blue in a daze.

In the past two years, she rarely smoked, and she never smoked in front of others, but now she can't control it.She thought that she would never see Ji Shui again in this life, but she didn't expect to see her as soon as she said she would; she thought her heart was as peaceful as water, but she didn't expect to be so upset.

I haven't smoked for a long time, and I felt a little dizzy when I smoked for the first time, but I calmed down a little.

Not long after Yi Ran left, the meeting ended, and Ji Shui followed Yi Ran to the rooftop, staring at her lonely back, her eyes filled with pain.

She walked quietly behind Yi Ran and called out in a low voice, "Yi Ran."

Yi Ran didn't respond.

"Yi Ran, these years... how are you?"

Yi Ran still didn't respond.

She bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Yi Ran, I'm back."

Yi Ran puffed out a cigarette, turned her face to look at her, and sneered at the corner of her mouth: "Does it have something to do with me?"

Ji Shui was silent.After a while, she asked in a low voice, "When did you learn to smoke?"

The sneer at the corner of Yi Ran's mouth became stronger: "Does it have something to do with you?"

Ji Shui stopped talking.
