Chapter 367 Time and Space Gallery
Shi Tingyu arranged accommodation for the six people in charge of security in the small attic on the second floor so that the night watchmen could rest.
In the past few days, Shi Tingyu also planned to find an interpreter and a cashier for the gallery.
In the end, it was Mrs. Zhang who helped with this matter.
She helped to contact two diligent and literate military wives.
The interpreter was Shi Wenxue and the cashier was Qian Xiaohua.
Both of them had a good reputation in the family compound, and Mrs. Zhang had dealt with them a lot. They were all enthusiastic and straightforward people.
Shi Tingyu specially took time to meet the two.
Shi Wenxue's name sounds more elegant, but in person she is very eloquent, and the key is that what she says is what the other party likes to hear.
Shi Tingyu observed silently and found that Shi Wenxue was very good at judging people. She was very careful and her words could always touch people's hearts.
Such people are suitable for explanation and recommendation work.
It is also because of Shi Wenxue's personality that she can earn a good reputation for herself in a mixed urban and rural environment like the family courtyard.
She is different from Shi Tingyu. Shi Tingyu is observant, but she rarely communicates with others. Her good reputation is brought by her status accumulated bit by bit by her talents, while Shi Wenxue has earned it through communication.
Qian Xiaohua is a stable and quiet person. She doesn't talk much, but she is down-to-earth and hardworking. She is a neat person. She is very serious about everything she does on weekdays. Shi Tingyu thinks that such a person is good for collecting money.
Shi Tingyu offered the two of them a salary of 60 yuan, with benefits not included.
The paintings are not ready yet, so the gallery is not open for the time being, but the few people can't sit still, so they go to take a look every day and clean up.
At the end of March, the plaque that Shi Tingyu customized was ready.
The plaque of the Space-Time Gallery uses black, white and gray artistic shapes, decorated with simple and spatial lines, which looks very atmospheric.
While Lu Weiguo was on vacation, Shi Tingyu and he moved the paintings from home to the gallery.
During this time, Shi Tingyu collected more than 30 paintings of various sizes.
In addition, Professor Qi and Professor Tian, who participated in the college entrance examination, sent their paintings to Shi Tingyu's gallery.
There is also a sculpture teacher from Jinyi, who has many sculptures on hand, and he also put them in Shi Tingyu's consignment for sale.
What surprised Shi Tingyu the most was that on April 5, she received two Chinese paintings from Wu Daocheng.
Along with the paintings, there was also a calligraphy written by Wu Daocheng himself, which was a gift to congratulate her on the opening of her gallery.
Shi Tingyu slowly opened the calligraphy, on which were written four big characters "Hongye Boxing" in vigorous strokes.
She gestured and it was just right to hang behind the cash register in the store.
It would be bad if such a good calligraphy was hung somewhere else and someone took a fancy to it and wanted to buy it.
Shi Tingyu was originally wondering how Mr. Wu knew about her gallery, and then she found the answer in the letter sent by Mr. Wu.
It turned out that some of the painters she contacted for the gallery were from the Artists Association, and he, as the president, naturally knew about it.
In the letter, Mr. Wu complained that Shi Tingyu was too polite and should have told him about such things earlier.
It's not that Shi Tingyu didn't think about telling Wu Daocheng about opening a gallery, but he was far away in Beijing, and if he told him, it would be bad for him to come all the way to attend the opening ceremony.
He was old, and she really didn't want to worry him.
But she didn't expect that he would find out in the end.
In the letter, Wu Daocheng once again invited Shi Tingyu to join the Chinese Artists Association.
Now that Shi Tingyu wanted to open a gallery, the top painters were all in the Artists Association, which was a ready-made resource.
Seeing that the other party was earnest in his words and thinking of his own gallery, Shi Tingyu agreed.
He called the Artists Association that day.
Wu Daocheng was very happy when he received the call. He asked Shi Tingyu to send a photo so that he could make a certificate.
Wu Daocheng acted quickly. After Shi Tingyu's photo was sent, he stamped it with a steel seal.
A few days later, Shi Tingyu received the certificate of membership of the Chinese Artists Association.
A brand new red book allowed Shi Tingyu to officially enter the circle of Chinese artists. Shi
Tingyu placed Wu Daocheng's two paintings and the paintings of Professor Qi and Professor Tian on the second floor.
The price was determined after she discussed with several painters.
Unknowingly, the gallery was also occupied by paintings of different sizes and styles.
Shi Tingyu analyzed the paintings based on their color tone, grade, style and content, and arranged them on the wall.
By the time everything was done, the originally empty gallery had become rich.
The paintings were of different sizes, staggered in an orderly manner, with landscapes, figures, and flowers and birds.
Even the five student works selected by Shi Tingyu had a halo in this gallery.
Shi Tingyu scheduled the opening date for April 18th.
That day happened to be a day off.
But before the gallery opened, Shi Tingyu received an envelope from Beijing.
The envelope was larger than ordinary envelopes. When Shi Tingyu opened it, he found that it was a group photo with leaders at the March 8th Red Flag Bearer Commendation Conference. When
Lu's mother saw that it was a photo, she couldn't sit still. She ran over nimbly and stretched her neck to look at it.
Shi Tingyu handed the photo to Lu's mother with interest.
Unable to conceal her excitement, Lu's mother wiped her hands on her body again and again, and then took the photo with trembling hands.
In the photo, Shi Tingyu was standing next to the leader, occupying the C position, so that everyone could see it at a glance.
Lu's mother couldn't express the excitement in her heart, and could only say yes again and again.
She stared at the photo for a long time before she remembered to put it away.
She carefully handed the photo back to Shi Tingyu, and she took the photo frame and vacated the most conspicuous position in the center.
"Xiaoyu, bring the photo to compare and see if such a big place is enough to put it?"
Shi Tingyu put the photo against the glass and measured it, "Mom, the space you left is a bit too big."
Mother Lu turned the photo over again and finally put it in. This time the size was just right.
After finishing, Mother Lu put the photo frame back on the wall and stood in front of it for a long time.
Her excited heart could not calm down for a long time.
Mother Lu did not tell anyone about this, but soon people who should know knew about it.
She did not tell anyone, but there were always people who came to visit. Word spread
from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Now everyone in the Jinling Military Region knows about it.
Feng Wei was the first one who said he wanted to come and take a look.
When he saw the photo in the frame, he was in awe, and then turned to Lu Weiguo and said, "Old Lu, you are too low-key. Why didn't you tell me that your sister-in-law stood next to the leader?"
Lu Weiguo said calmly, "Now you know it."
"That's what you said, but I'm still very excited!" Feng Wei couldn't tell how he felt, but he felt that he was really helped by God to match Lu Weiguo and Shi Tingyu.
Come to think of it, he was really smart at the time. Who would have thought that a girl whose parents were going to be sent down and could only marry to avoid disaster could have such achievements today. Whenever
thinking of this, Feng Wei can sing his own praises.
He is so strong.
