After a short silence, the audience erupted in laughter. Some people even laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs. They pointed at the white sculpture in front of them and laughed like pigs.
"Hahaha, it's David!"
That’s right, the white figure sculpture that Ma Kaixuan gave was a replica of the internationally famous male nude sculpture David...
This David is not that David. The David sculpture that Ma Kaixuan gave is a smaller replica made of plaster. Overall, it is smaller than the famous David sculpture, but it is also eye-catching enough.
The same handsome figure, the same iconic masculine features, the same strong and powerful body. Looking at this sculpture, a retro and literary atmosphere comes to your face.
Lu Sinian couldn't help but hold his forehead and said helplessly.
"Ma Kaixuan, I run a cafe for people to relax and have fun. You bought me a David sculpture. You don't think this is an art museum, do you?"
In that case, would he even need to open a cafe? If people wanted to see art, wouldn't they just go to the city museum?
Of course, compared to everyone's amused and confused expressions, Ma Kaixuan explained with a serious face.
"Dude, listen to me. This David is a work of art. How can you open a high-end coffee shop without a work of art? We should appreciate this sculpture with appreciation, and then we will be in a good mood for drinking coffee."
Lu Sinian: “…”
What's there to admire? People who come to his cafe to drink coffee will probably be scared away when they see this sculpture. Who will still be in the mood to drink coffee?
Tang Yan, who was standing by, stepped forward, patted Lu Sinian and Ma Kaixuan on the shoulders, and made a suggestion.
"Lu Sinian, since Ma Kaixuan has already brought this David statue here, it's a thoughtful gesture. Why don't you accept it and put it in the small garden behind the cafe as a decoration? After all, it's just a piece of art. People who understand it will appreciate it, and those who don't will probably just complain a few times. It won't interfere with your coffee. After all, it's just a sculpture."
Wang Mingkai, who was standing by, heard what Tang Yan said and thought it made sense, so he echoed it.
"Tang Yan is right. Now that David has been sent here, it would be bad to throw him away. We can't waste Ma Kaixuan's kindness. Why not put him in the back garden behind the cafe?"
Hearing someone speaking up for him, Ma Kaixuan quickly took advantage of the situation to back off.
"Yes, Lu Sinian, this is after all a grand opening gift from my buddies. I put a lot of effort into it. You can't just throw it away. Just do as Tang Yan and the others said. If you really have no place to put it, just put this sculpture in the back garden."
Lu Sinian held his forehead helplessly, lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, and finally came up with a solution.
"Okay, have your workers move this sculpture to the back garden of the cafe. I'll have someone design the garden tomorrow and build a fountain with this sculpture as the centerpiece!"
Now that the sculpture has been delivered, it would not be appropriate to put it in any corner of the back garden. It would be better to find a suitable location for the David sculpture, use it as the center, and design a small fountain around it. That would be more artistic, and better than placing a naked sculpture of David abruptly in the yard.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but applaud.
"Hey, that's a good idea. Let's take this sculpture to the backyard and design a fountain. That way, not only can the sculpture have a good place, but it will also make the backyard look stylish and atmospheric. More importantly, the artistic sense of the David sculpture can be fully utilized."
Anyway, the backyard of Lu Sinian's cafe is very spacious, with many green plants and multiple fountains, which can only add to the landscape.
When Ma Kaixuan heard Lu Sinian's design and Tang Yan's approval, a smile finally appeared on his face and he patted Lu Sinian's shoulder.
"Okay, Lu Sinian, let's use this sculpture to design a fountain as you asked! Fortunately, I had good taste and chose David for you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to find a suitable sculpture for the fountain."
Lu Sinian: “…”
Who gave you the confidence to think you have good taste? Wasn't it because you randomly bought some crappy David statue that forced your buddy to design a fountain in the backyard?
Everyone: “…”
Is there such a way to praise yourself?
Fortunately, the problem with the sculpture was finally solved. Everyone moved the David sculpture to the backyard, found a suitable place to put it, and then returned to the previous private room to drink coffee and talk about life.
Ma Kaixuan sat down next to Lu Sinian with an excited look on his face, interrupted the conversation between Lu Sinian and Wang Mingkai, and said mysteriously.
"Lu Sinian, guess who I met this morning when I was inspecting the store?"
Lu Sinian looked deeply at his childhood friend. He didn't want to guess who he met at all. He just bought him a David sculpture because Ma Kaixuan made the opening of his cafe so embarrassing.
Ma Kaixuan should have gone out to drink coffee by now instead of talking to him. The fact that this guy had the nerve to talk to him was more than just a matter of shamelessness.
Wang Mingkai, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and said coldly.
"Just tell me what you have to say. I don't think our Lu team wants to guess who you met."
Ma Kaixuan: “…”
It turns out that Lu Sinian was quite dissatisfied with the gift he bought for the grand opening just now. If it really doesn't work out, he can just give him a suitable gift next time he finds one.
Why do you have such an indifferent attitude? We said we were childhood friends and had a deep relationship.
Of course, if Lu Sinian knew that Ma Kaixuan was thinking of giving him another gift at this moment, he would immediately stop his dangerous idea.
I've already bought him a dodgy David statue. Who knows, the next time Ma Kaixuan thinks a suitable gift might be a naked woman? How frustrating!
Of course, compared to Lu Sinian's thoughts which were hard to describe in words, Ma Kaixuan had no idea. At this moment, he was only concerned with telling about what happened when Zhang Yaoyao wanted to use him as a way to hook up with Lu Sinian, and he talked about it intently.
"This morning, when I was inspecting the store, someone told me there was a female customer who wanted to buy shoes from my store. Since I had nothing else to do, I went to negotiate the deal myself. And guess what? The customer turned out to be Zhang Yaoyao."
As soon as Ma Kaixuan finished speaking, Lu Sinian's eyes suddenly became deep. Before he could say anything, Tang Yan asked.
"Zhang Yaoyao? A few days ago, weren't there rumors that she moved out of the military compound and disappeared? There were even rumors that she became a beggar. How did you run into her again? And she became your client?"
