Chapter 74 It turns out there is a financial sponsor!
The scale of this art exhibition is very large and there are many people coming to see it.
The paintings on the wall are either fresh in color and close to nature, or bold in color and passionate in emotion.
Yan Ruo didn't feel bored after reading it all the way through.
There is one thing: no matter how diverse the painting styles are, no matter the size of the paintings, these paintings have one thing in common, that is, they are expensive!
Standing in front of a painting of a sea of flowers, Yan Ruo stared at the price tag next to it for a long time.
Finally he sighed.
Although this painting is quite beautiful and it was drawn stroke by stroke, in the eyes of her, who has no artistic talent.
Why not do something else with the money? Why buy a painting and hang it at home?
Wait for it to appreciate in a few years?
Unexpectedly, in the eyes of others, she looked like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden or a country bumpkin entering the city, making a fuss out of nothing.
"What's the point of the security guard at the door? Is it possible for just anyone to come to Miss Zhou's art exhibition?"
When Yan Ruo heard the voice and looked over, he saw that familiar and annoying face and thought to himself, what bad luck!
I don't want to let others watch the fun in this situation, so I'm ready to turn around and stay as far away from this annoying person as possible.
But she forgot that there is a reason why some people are annoying.
Just like Zhang Ya behind her, seeing that Yan Ruo looked like he didn't want to pay attention to her, she deliberately raised her voice to greet him.
"Secretary Yan, did you come in with Mr. Xu today?"
Since Xu Shaoyu was involved, Yan Ru had no choice but to stop and put on a fake smile.
"It turns out to be Miss Zhang. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you just now."
This Zhang Ya is Zhang Xi’s cousin, and she used to be pretty and pretty.
But I don't know what's been wrong with her in the past two years. She always likes to mess with her face. After all the messing, her facial features do look better.
But put together, they look like mass-produced dolls, without any distinctive features. They become just a good-looking, common face.
Zhang Ya hates it most when people say they didn’t recognize her. Even though she is obviously furious, she still has to put on a gentle smile.
I heard that it was because Xu Shaoyu once said after drinking too much at a party, "I like people who smile gently."
Walking to the painting that Yan Ruo had just looked at, Zhang Ya said very considerately.
"Secretary Yan, do you like this painting? I asked someone to reserve it for you in advance."
When did Zhang Ya become so helpful?
The next sentence directly confirmed Yan Ruo's guess.
She raised a malicious smile at the corner of her mouth and reminded in a voice that could be heard by everyone around.
"It's just that...an exhibition of this level doesn't accept installment payments."
The two women following Zhang Ya burst into laughter, and the people around them looked at them with strange eyes.
Yan Ruo thought to herself, there really is a trap. It's clear they're trying to cheat her out of her money.
If Zhang Ya thought that she would buy the painting just to save face in front of everyone, she was wrong.
Yan Ruo's tone was serious and his expression was curious.
"Ms. Zhang, I'm here today just to broaden my horizons and be influenced by art. I don't plan to buy anything. Do people who come in to see a painting have to buy a painting before they can leave?"
Of course not!
Zhang Ya stared at Yan Ruo's innocent face and instantly became furious.
There are so many people here. If every one of them has to buy a painting, I'm afraid Miss Zhou will have to paint until next year.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Zhang Ya quickly tried to make amends.
"When buying paintings at an art exhibition, it's all about personal preference. I saw Secretary Yan standing in front of this painting for such a long time, so I guess he must like it very much."
"But if you like it, why not buy it home and enjoy it slowly?"
Yan Ruo said directly: "I really like this painting, but the price is too expensive. I am an ordinary worker and can't afford it."
"So you think it's too expensive." Zhang Ya pretended to be surprised, but there was contempt in her eyes that she could not hide.
"Ms. Zhou is an internationally renowned emerging painter. Each of her works is a work of art. They say art is priceless. Secretary Yan's constant talk of money is truly an insult to art."
Yan Ruo tilted her head, glanced at the painting on the wall, and was speechless.
"Of course art is priceless. But we can also negotiate prices, right? Otherwise, why would there be a price tag next to every painting?"
After these words were spoken, Zhang Ya was speechless.
It took a while for him to react, "Secretary Yan is still so sharp-tongued."
Yan Ruo waved her hand and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Zhang. I have always had a good tooth and I am not afraid of any monsters or demons."
Just then, a message came on my phone. I opened it and saw it was from Xu Shaoyu.
The gist of it was that since she was already here, she had to buy one or two paintings to show her appreciation, even if it was just to give face to Boss Boyu. He told her to buy whatever she liked and he would reimburse her.
Now that the boss has spoken, why be polite?
Yan Ruo simply raised her hand to greet the staff.
"I like this painting very much. I wonder if it has been sold?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the staff member's eyes. She was present throughout the whole process, and if she remembered correctly, the lady had just said that it was too expensive and she couldn't afford it.
After all, he is a professional. In just a moment, he put on a perfect professional smile on his face.
"Ma'am, you have a very good eye. Many people have asked about this painting, but it hasn't been sold yet."
Yan Ruo nodded in satisfaction, "That's perfect, I bought it, remember to register it for me."
This reversal came unexpectedly.
Not to mention the staff and the surrounding onlookers, Zhang Ya alone was so angry that she was about to die. She believed that Yan Ruo was deliberately going against her and doing this just to make her angry.
"Secretary Yan, please stop trying to be so impressive. Art is priceless, but it's not nice to leave yourself without money for food just to save face."
Yan Ruo glanced at the man who was walking towards them surrounded by a crowd not far away.
He raised his eyebrows and smiled deliberately with a wink. "What should I do? Even if I buy all the paintings in the hall today, I can still afford it."
What Zhang Ya hated most was Yan Ruo's face. He was clearly just a country bumpkin.
But every time she appears, she always attracts everyone's attention.
Especially when she smiled, her already cold and beautiful facial features became even brighter and more beautiful, and her whole body was glowing, making others look dull and dull.
Over the years in North City, if Xu Shaoyu hadn't been behind her, countless rich second-generations would have been unable to contain themselves.
But she pretended to be unaware of it and always kept people at a distance. She was just a small secretary, but I didn't know why she was so arrogant.
In fact, Zhang Ya had heard a long time ago that Yan Ruo had left Xu's.
She deliberately called her Secretary Yan today just to remind her to be aware of her identity.
In her opinion, if Yan Ruo said that he could buy all the paintings in the venue, he was either bragging or he found a new financial sponsor with the help of his face after leaving Xu's.
Thinking of this, I felt even more contempt in my heart.
"Don't be so confident. Even if your sponsor is very rich, he may not be willing to spend so much."
"My advice to you is, while you're still a little bit pretty, make some extra money. Once the novelty wears off, you might not be able to make any money even if you want to."
Yan Ruo frowned slightly and was about to say that people with a bad heart think everything is dirty.
A familiar male voice came from behind, "I was wondering why Miss Yan looked down on me. It turns out she has a wealthy sponsor."
