Chapter 336 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!
Although Chen Zhu shamelessly used this reason as an excuse, it obviously worked.
After Yu Xian asked Professor Guan, he quickly got back the information.
Chen Zhu opened his phone happily, but was a little disappointed.
Because Yu Baobao said that although Professor Guan's collection contains works by Gao Jianfu, it is a pity that he lacks the "Flower Pictures" that Zheng Wenlong wanted.
It stands to reason that when you first meet, you should consider the other person's preferences and try to find them.
Even without the [Flower Picture], Senior Brother Zheng should be able to feel the sincerity.
After all, even Anita Kwan, the third generation descendant of the painting school, doesn’t have something, which shows the scarcity of this type of painting.
However, Chen Zhu still hopes to keep improving, so that he may be able to win more support.
"I'll go over for dinner tonight and take a look at Master Gao's works."
Chen Zhu said.
After finishing the cooperation with Taomi, Chen Zhu went to find Yu Xian. In addition, he inquired about the paintings needed by Brother Zheng, which was like hunting down rabbits.
In addition, since Zheng Wenlong admires Master Shang Jianfu, he probably knows a lot about the Lingnan School of Painting.
If you listen to the unique insights of your direct descendants and show them to you when you meet later, wouldn't you be casually introduced as a confidant by Senior Brother Zheng?
…
After class in the morning, Chen Zhu went to the office in Science and Technology Valley for a walk.
Everything here is on track. Even if Chen Zhu disappears for two or three days, everyone is still doing their work in an orderly manner.
Chen Zhu knew clearly that at least in the "Learning Network" project, he would not have to expend too much energy until there was no new action.
What is "new action"?
It is to expand outside the province, and it will be carried out after the Spring Festival.
Chen Zhu told Xia Huilan to transfer 700,000 to their account on time according to the contract with Taomi Technology. When he returned to school in the afternoon, he also contacted Sister Sweet.
This time the two showed good understanding in their cooperation, and they may consider continuing next time if there is an opportunity.
More importantly, because of that fake diamond ring, the relationship between the two seemed to have been sublimated.
So much so that if Chen Zhu doesn't have dinner with the school beauty Song, if he doesn't say something in advance, it would feel like he has done something wrong.
It really feels more and more like a campus couple.
Fortunately, Sister Sweet is not clingy and has her own things to do.
Hearing that Chen Zhu was not at school that night, Song Shiwei didn't ask any more questions. He just said that Mou Jiawen was coming to CUHK today and they would eat and chat together.
"Classmate Xiaomu?"
Chen Zhu thought to himself that he hadn't seen her for a while.
But it is understandable. Just imagine that if Chen Zhu breaks up with Song Shiwei or Yu Xian, Huang Baihan's chances of meeting them will also be greatly reduced.
"Last time I asked Mou Jiawen to help distribute leaflets, and she agreed. I haven't given the leaflets to her yet."
Chen Zhu typed back.
"Do you need me to get it and give it to her?"
Song Shiwei asked.
Chen Zhu thought for a moment: "I gave all the old flyers to Huang Baihan. I'll give them to her after I print the new ones."
In fact, there were a lot of flyers in the office, but Chen Zhu didn't want Song Shiwei to go to the Science and Technology Valley, after all, that was the territory Yu Xianxian "occupied".
If Song Shiwei appears again, it may cause confusion among employees.
…
In the evening, Chen Zhu took a review book and took the bus to the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, but Yu Xian was still copying and practicing in the painting center.
According to convention, there is a provincial-level "Spring Festival Cup" calligraphy and painting competition for college students in early March every year.
The standards are quite high, and the Provincial Department of Culture and the Provincial Communist Youth League are the leading co-organizers.
The competition format is also relatively strict. Although previous works are submitted during the audition, the finals involve on-site painting.
If it is discovered that fake matches have been faked, not only will the results be cancelled, but the school will also be notified.
For college students majoring in fine arts in eastern Guangdong, this is a very valuable competition. If you can win a prize, your resume will be greatly enhanced.
Before going to the capital, Professor Guan once said that the career path planned for Yu Xian would be based on this competition.
It seems that Yu Xian doesn't have much time, because it will be March when he returns to school after the winter vacation.
Chen Zhu was already familiar with Guangmei, so he strolled all the way to the small classroom on the third floor of the painting center.
The first and second floors are for all students, and the classrooms on the third floor are for "inner disciples" to use.
As we saw last time, both Yu Xian and Wu Yu were painting inside.
It's just that their states are slightly different, and Yu Xian's attention is obviously more focused.
The slightly curved long hair is spread over the shoulders, the black and white eyes are as clear as ink jade, and the black eyebrows seem to have been carved, curved on the delicate oval face.
Sometimes she may encounter problems with color or composition, and she subconsciously bites her red lips, which are as spicy as millet, and falls into a state of thinking.
When you have figured it out, lean forward slightly and continue to write lightly on the rice paper.
Yu Xian has a very good figure. Just by leaning over, the curve of her slender waist can be shown. She is really sexy.
Although Wu Yu is also a beautiful female college student who paints, she looks very mediocre when being contrasted by the cosplay sister.
And she seemed to be very impatient, sometimes sighing and sometimes curling her hair.
From a real point of view, Wu Yu might prefer to lie on the dormitory bed and watch TV dramas or play with her mobile phone.
There was also Professor Guan Yongyi in the small classroom. Sometimes as his understanding increased, Chen Zhu still admired this strict old lady.
This is a second-level professor, and there are no first-level professors in the art field. Therefore, her authority in the industry may be similar to that of the academician-level experts at CUHK in their respective fields.
He was unmarried and had no children, and his life was full of talents. Perhaps the most important thing for Professor Guan now is to pass on the complete inheritance of the Lingnan School of Painting.
She first saw Chen Zhu standing outside, and seemed to give a warning.
Yu Xian suddenly raised his head, and after finding Chen Zhu's figure, he blinked his slightly upturned charming eyes and gave out a sweet and charming smile.
Chen Zhu also responded enthusiastically.
Falling in love with a girl like Sister Cos is like a red rose blooming brightly. You will be subconsciously infected by her enthusiasm and cheerfulness.
Occasionally there is that nostalgic touch of pungency, like the thorns on a rose.
Yu Xian asked Professor Guan for instructions again, but the old lady was noncommittal.
So, Yu Xian happily stood up and waved to Chen Zhu to come into the small classroom.
"Professor Guan."
Chen Zhu pushed the door open and said hello to the old lady first.
"Um."
Guan Yongyi was neither sad nor happy, and responded calmly.
Of course, this response was just for the sake of the young disciple. Professor Guan probably also noticed this problem with Yu Xian's love brain.
"What are you drawing?"
Chen Zhu walked up to Yu Xian, looked at the drawing board and said.
All I saw was a misty river on white rice paper. The water gently lapped the peach branches on the shore, and the peaks on the left and right stood faintly between heaven and earth.
There is also a full moon hanging in the upper right corner, and the entire portrait looks like Guilin's landscape at night.
"This is called "A River of Spring Water Flows Eastward"."
Yu Xian raised his head and told his boyfriend.
Even for someone like Chen Zhu who doesn't know much about art, when he sees the contrast between the bright peach blossoms on paper and the mysterious landscape, he has a sense of depth and story that extends out of the picture.
Just like when we were in primary school, we looked at the illustrations in Chinese textbooks and imagined how happy we would be if we lived there.
Wu Yu also wrote "A River of Spring Water Flows East", but I don't know why. The mountains and rivers in each stroke are mountains, and no matter what, I can't understand the artistic conception.
Chen Zhu was a little surprised. It was the first time that he intuitively felt the difference in talent between the two in painting.
It seems that the trip to the capital is really useful. The "meaning" in Yu Xian's works has become so obvious on the page.
In order to take Comrade Wu Yu's face into consideration, Chen Zhu did not make any harsh comments, but asked with a smile: "How long have you been sitting here, are you tired?"
While the two were talking, Professor Guan walked out of the classroom silently, as if leaving space to the young people.
"I don't have any classes in the afternoon. I came here right after I got up during my lunch break."
After being reminded, Yu Xian looked at the time and exclaimed: "Have we been sitting for 4 hours?"
"What do you think?"
Wu Yu said dejectedly: "My butt hurts from sitting, and I don't dare to move in front of Professor Guan. I really regret accompanying you here before, and now I can't leave even if I want to."
Wu Yu used to worry that her best friend would be lonely, so every time Professor Guan would let Yu Xian play a little game, she would come over and play with him.
Later, Professor Guan saw that Wu Yu was doing nothing, so he asked her to follow the special training together.
Wu Yu was immediately speechless. She was like a middle-school student entering the "Mathematics Olympiad Intensive Course", unable to understand, follow, or understand.
"I didn't realize it at all when I was painting, and I'm really tired now."
Yu Xian yawned, like a cat waking up from a nap in the afternoon, with a careless and lazy style.
"Shall I rub it for you?"
Chen Zhu had some enthusiastic suggestions.
"OK……"
Yu Xian was about to happily agree, but when he looked at Professor Guan standing outside, he curled his lips and said, "Forget it, Xiaoyu doesn't have a boyfriend, so she won't feel unbalanced."
"Wow! Who are you looking down on!"
Wu Yu immediately said unconvinced: "When I find a boyfriend in the future, let him hit my back and squeeze my shoulders every day. If I don't hit him well, I'll give him a slap."
"Who is like some people."
Wu Yu rolled her eyes at her best friend: "When I was in high school, I said I wanted my boyfriend to be an obedient puppy, and I also said I wanted him to lick his toes. I didn't expect that after we actually fell in love, it immediately turned into..."
Wu Yu followed Yu Xian's example: "Huh? What is Director Chen busy with today? He hasn't replied to my message for several hours."
"Or else..."
Wu Yu said coquettishly but vividly: "The shoes that boy is wearing are very nice. I will buy a pair for Director Chen next time I go shopping..."
"What?"
Chen Zhu was dumbfounded when he heard this, not because he was surprised at Yu Xian's behavior after falling in love, but at those "bold words" he said before falling in love.
"Damn girl, shut up!"
Yu Xian suddenly stopped feeling tired and rushed over to cover his best friend's mouth.
Even though Chen Zhu has long been regarded as the closest lover in the world, these words are just the nonsense of youth and frivolity.
For example, when I was in high school, I saw a girl in my class crying all morning after losing her love.
Based on Yu Xian's temper when he was not in love at that time, he must have said disdainfully:
"Fragile woman! When I fall in love, I will tame my boyfriend into an obedient puppy. He will do whatever I want, and he will not refuse even if he licks his toes."
Wu Yu memorized these words and now reported them to Chen Zhu.
It's like saying - see, this is what your partner looked like when he was a sophomore in high school!
Chen Zhu definitely doesn't care. How can he not be clear about Yu Xian's character?
Putting aside these silly secondary remarks on the surface, she is at heart a traditional girl who "saves money to buy a house for her boyfriend."
But just because Chen Zhu didn't care, it didn't mean that Professor Guan Lao could endure it.
She saw two little girls fighting in the studio, walked in with a straight face and scolded: "Why are you arguing? If you continue to argue, you will leave!"
Yu Xian and Wu Yu then stuck out their tongues and arranged their hair with blushing faces.
Anita Kwan stopped talking to them and came over to check their copy of "Spring Water Flows East".
After looking at Wu Yu's homework, the old lady didn't say anything and put it down expressionlessly.
Picking up Yu Xian's homework again, Professor Guan's eyes were still sharp and serious, but he could clearly feel his expression softening.
It's like suddenly seeing a top student with perfect scores in a class among a bunch of students who are late for class.
However, Professor Guan did not make any comments, but asked Chen Zhu: "How is your senior brother who has terminal cancer doing now?"
Although the question was a bit sudden, Chen Zhu responded quickly and immediately said sadly: "He is so ill that even foreign experts are helpless. All he can do now is to let him pass away without leaving any regrets."
How to leave no regrets?
Hurry up and find Master Gao Jianfu's "Flower Pictures"!
"Um."
Professor Guan nodded. She originally wanted to introduce some experts from the capital.
Now I heard that I have gone abroad to see it, and I guess there is really no other way.
Chen Zhu is smart and rarely leaves any loopholes in his words.
"I really don't have any of Gao Jianfu's flower pictures here."
Professor Guan paused and then said: "But there are pictures of birds and animals that he drew when he was young. If this is your senior brother's last wish in life, I can give it away."
"deliver?"
Chen Zhu was stunned for a moment: "My senior brother is not poor, so he can spend money to buy it."
To be honest, Chen Zhu didn't intend to take advantage of him in vain. Firstly, he didn't have this kind of character, and secondly, he didn't worry about owing any favors when the money was settled.
"Gao Jianfu's paintings of birds and animals are not expensive, only flower paintings have market value."
Professor Guan said slowly: "Besides, painting is always dead. Even if it has a soul and artistic conception, it cannot compare to a living person."
"If we can alleviate pain, delay death, and increase the number of days we can spend with our loved ones."
The old lady said matter-of-factly: "It is better to survive ten lives than to survive one life. This is the most valuable destiny of a painting."
Listening to Professor Guan’s humanistic words.
A trace of guilt flashed through Chen Zhu's heart, but that didn't stop him from saying shamelessly: "I would like to thank Professor Guan on behalf of my senior brother. That picture of birds and beasts..."
"There's no rush yet."
Professor Guan is a person with both principles and sentiments, and he has been a teacher for many years.
She doesn't need money, but she has to make the whole thing meaningful.
She said: "There is a Gao Jianfu Cultural Memorial Hall at No. 87 Zhuzi Street, Panfu Road."
"You go and help clean up for the week. Your senior brother should have done it originally, but in his case, you can take his place."
"no problem!"
Chen Zhu agreed without hesitation.
Compared to the pressure of starting a business, what does this mean?
However, Chen Zhu still has a question: "Professor Guan, who owns the flower pictures?"
Looking at the persevering Chen Zhuo, Professor Guan couldn't help but become curious: "Do I have to get it?"
"It is great for a man to die."
Chen Zhu sighed: "For the sake of anonymity, I won't say who my senior brother is, but he has made many outstanding contributions to society. I don't want such a person to leave with regrets."
Chen Zhu understands it this way:
I got the flower picture and gave it to Senior Brother Zheng →
Zheng Wenlong approved the money for me →
As a result, retrospection has received an opportunity for further growth and development→
Provide a large number of jobs for the society, increase huge tax revenue for the finance, and establish high-quality service standards for the industry →
In the end, it will be ordinary people who benefit.
So to sum up, as long as Zheng Wenlong gives me a loan, he is a person who has made outstanding contributions to society.
There's nothing wrong with this logic, right?
But Professor Guan didn't know that. She also felt that Chen Zhu was a kind and caring junior brother, so she told her frankly: "Gao Jian's father has a son who lives in Macau. He should have it."
This is information that very few people should know.
No wonder Zheng Wenlong, as the vice president of the Provincial Agricultural Bank of China, has companies that ask him for services every day, but no one can meet his demands.
But conversely, the higher the difficulty, the more precious it becomes if Chen Zhu can get it.
There is a saying that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!
