Chapter 150 Encounter
Chapter 151 Encounter
Wen Ning and Zi Cheng came from behind. The old man felt a little uncomfortable when he met Wen Ning's cold eyes. "Hey...you two are together, right? That's perfect. If you sign up for painting lessons together, I can give you a discount..."
The old man explained it again with great interest until Fang Qing and the other two showed no interest. Then he slowly took back the flyer and said, "It's okay. Think about it again. If you have made up your mind, you must come to me."
As he spoke, the old man took out a handwritten card from his pocket and stuffed it into Fang Qing's hand, "Girl, come to me when you've made up your mind. I'll keep the preferential quota for you."
Without waiting for the three to react, the old man ran away briskly with the things on his back.
"Hey, this old man is really interesting."
Fang Qing looked at the business card drawn with a blue pen in his hand and read it softly, "Master Gong..."
Zi Cheng behind him couldn't help but burst out laughing, "How can someone call himself a master... Is he a liar?"
Wen Ning also found it funny. He walked over to look at Fang Qing's almost finished painting and patted her to get her back to her senses. "Don't be distracted. The old housekeeper's car will be here soon. Hurry and pack your things."
The three of them stayed in the park for another half an hour and then hurried back to the villa.
A few days later, Lu Can, a classmate from the school club, actually called me.
"Fang Qing, are you still in the capital?"
Fang Qing was taking a nap and was still a little dazed. He closed his eyes and answered the phone, "I'm here, what's wrong?"
"That's great. I'm back at school now. I just heard that a painting association is going to hold an exhibition and many celebrities are going to attend! I wanted to ask if you want to go with me. I heard that there's no entrance fee..."
Fang Qing had never heard of a painting association. After learning about it, he realized that it was a non-governmental organization, which was composed of ordinary people who were very interested in painting and spontaneously organized themselves into an association.
But people inside often use their own connections to organize art exhibitions for members to communicate and learn, and to expand their popularity.
But when he thought that he was just a college student, not a professional painter, and did not have any outstanding works, Fang Qing smiled and politely declined.
But Lu Can on the other end of the phone was determined to go. "I heard that this art exhibition will be held in Green Vine Park next Wednesday. If you are interested, you can come and take a look. Just treat it as an exchange and learning experience!"
After hanging up the phone, Fang Qing was no longer sleepy. He got up, washed his face and prepared to go out for a walk, but he kept thinking about what Lu Can said.
Wen Ning knocked on the door with a plate of watermelon in his hand. Seeing that she had woken up, he handed it to her. "What are you thinking about? I called out to you for a long time outside and you didn't respond."
Fang Qing was a person who could not keep secrets, so he told Wen Ning about it immediately, "You said I am not a professional painter, so it seems useless for me to participate in such activities."
Although Wen Ning had never heard of this association, seeing that she had been staying at home for the past few days without much entertainment, he advised her, "You have nothing to do anyway, why not go out for a walk and take a look at other people's works, maybe you will be inspired."
With Wen Ning's encouragement, Fang Qing no longer hesitated. On Wednesday, he packed up and went to Lutan Park alone.
It was summer vacation and there were many young people coming and going in the park. Fang Qing asked along the way and finally found the exhibition hall in a quiet place.
After walking through a corridor, she saw a banner outside the exhibition hall with a few stylish characters written on it - Yiyun Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition. A young man at the door saw someone coming and immediately stepped forward to greet them enthusiastically, leading Fang Qing and the others into the exhibition hall.
The decoration in the exhibition hall was very elegant, and a cool breeze came from nowhere, instantly dispelling the summer heat from everyone. Fang Qing followed the crowd and slowly admired the works on the wall. Although most people did not quite understand the meaning of the works, they could always roughly distinguish the quality of the works based on the overall aesthetics.
Although Fang Qing was not a student majoring in painting, they had to take painting classes because of their design major. The teacher of the elective course once asked them to observe a lot of famous paintings at home and abroad in private and comment on them according to the characteristics of the paintings.
When Fang Qing was standing next to a landscape painting admiring it, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. "Hey! Fang Qing, I knew you were back. How is this exhibition? Isn't it good? How long have you been here? What have you seen?"
After meeting Lu Can, Fang Qing finally didn't feel lonely anymore. "I just got here a while ago. Have you finished reading?"
Lu Can dressed up specially today for visiting the art exhibition. She originally had an ordinary appearance but today she looks very beautiful.
"I've seen most of it. This place is so big. I walked around for a long time and my feet hurt. Then the staff took me to rest and drink a glass of water. Are you thirsty? I'll take you there."
Fang Qing quickly shook his head, "No, no, I haven't really looked at it yet."
Lu Can grinned, "That's easy. I'll take you there. There are some amazing paintings over there. I heard someone wants to buy them on the spot!"
Lu Can pulled Fang Qing along, chattering along the way as they quickly browsed through many works, until they came to a magnificent masterpiece. He covered his mouth and whispered to Fang Qing's ear.
"Here, this is it. It's said to be the work of a famous artist. This time it was made to show off this association. I didn't expect it to be bought by someone just now!"
Fang Qing looked up and saw a landscape painting more than two meters high. The whole painting was cleverly designed and the brushwork was exquisite, but she always felt that she had seen the brushwork somewhere before. Although she didn't know how to evaluate it, in general, the painting gave people a majestic feeling, and the painter must have been a person with a broad mind.
Lu Can was still talking about the gossip she had heard. "I just heard that this painting was sold for two million! I'm so envious. When I can also get to this point, I will be satisfied..."
Fang Qing smiled without saying anything, preparing to move on to the next work, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of a seal on the corner of the painting. He was stunned for a moment, then turned back to take a closer look, "Qiu Yulin? The artist of this painting is Qiu Yulin?"
Seeing her strange expression, Lu Can thought Fang Qing knew him, and suddenly became a little excited, "What? You know him? My god, you actually know such an important person, why didn't you tell me..."
Fang Qing waved his hands quickly, "How is that possible? I just heard about it before."
Seeing this, Lu Can was a little disappointed. He put his shoulder and sighed, "That's right. If you could know such a celebrity, why would you come to join our small club..."
The two continued their tour until Lu Can started to cry out that he could not walk any further, and then they went to the rest area together.
But when Fang Qing looked up, she saw a private room not far away opened, and a tall and imposing man walked out surrounded by a crowd of people. Fang Qing saw that the other person's face was very familiar, until the man glanced at her, Fang Qing woke up from her dream.
"Qiu Yulin."
