The small teahouse is not big, it is just renovated from an old house and has an elegant environment.

There is no private room on the first floor, just a simple booth.

The two sat down, Baiye ordered a pot of Biluochun, as well as a few plates of dried fruits and pastries. The things were quickly brought up. When the waiter left, Baiye picked up the cup and sipped the tea.

Without savoring the taste, he smiled and said, "Boss Lu, I am a more honest person, and I will say it directly if I have something to do. Do you want to sign a contract with me and become a collaborative painter at Excellence Gallery?"

"right."

Lu Huaiyong nodded without hesitation and said with a smile: "It can be not only a painting, but also a sculpture. As long as you are happy, I can help you run an art exhibition in the Excellence Gallery, including all the artworks you create."

It sounds quite sincere.

Bai Ye nodded and asked again: "Are you sure you want to sign me? Are you not afraid of... the criticism about me?"

"Ha ha."

Lu Huaiyong smiled and said, "Art is often full of controversy, and there is no need to pay attention to some accusations. What's more... what you call criticism is mostly slander, even fabrication, or smear."

Bai Ye's eyes flashed: "So you know, who is slandering me?"

"Nothing is this."

Lu Huaiyong immediately said: "I just believe in your character."

Bai Ye smiled: "As the saying goes, the road is a long way to know the power of horsepower, and people's hearts will be seen over time. We only met today and have never dealt with each other before. How do you know whether my character is good or bad?"

“I’ve investigated.”

Lu Huaiyong said bluntly: "You are full of friendship with your old boss, and you will not hesitate to speak up for your righteousness. I appreciate yours very much, so I hope everyone can cooperate."

"Thanks."

Bai Ye smiled, not believing a word.

I really admire him, why did I come to him after a year?

After all, Lu Huaiyong is essentially a businessman, so he must come for the sake of benefits. As long as he can provide him with benefits, he will naturally have a lot of good words.

Bai Ye felt that if he hadn't made the list, Lu Huaiyong wouldn't have come either.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide timely help. This is the ultimate truth. Bai Ye would not be angry about such a person's normal feelings. The main reason is that he felt that Lu Huaiyong did not tell the truth.

The other party said he didn't know who was slandering him...

Too fake.

With the strength of the Excellent Gallery and Lu Huaiyong's relationship network in the art industry, he didn't know anything about it, which was an insult to him. The problem was that he did not reveal any verbal words about this matter, and the meaning of it made people think deeply.

Bai Ye speculated in his heart that either the other party had also participated in the incident of overthrowing the Dongxing Gallery, or the mastermind behind the Dongxing Gallery incident, even he could not afford to offend, or he did not want to offend the other party.

Whether it is the former or the latter...

This matter is interesting.

Bai Ye pondered and said, "Boss Lu, thanks to his reputation, I naturally want to cooperate with Excellent Gallery in my heart. After all, Excellent Gallery is one of the best in the industry, and its promotional ability is well-known. If I choose to sign an Excellent Gallery, it will not take long for me to become more famous..."

"It's inevitable."

At this time, Lu Huaiyong was no longer humble, but said a little proudly: "Not only in China, but also overseas, Excellent Gallery also has channels for cooperation. It can be said that as long as you sign a contract with Excellent Gallery, becoming famous all over the world is not a dream."

"Yeah yeah."

Bai Ye nodded repeatedly, then changed his mind: "But this matter is a bit sudden. I need to think about it for a few more days. Please forgive me, Boss Lu."

Lu Huaiyong was stunned and then smiled and said, "I understand, I can understand. Such a major event naturally requires careful consideration and cannot make decisions in a hasty and hasty way."

"Thank you, Boss Lu, for your understanding." Bai Ye smiled and said, "I will give you an answer as soon as possible..."

While speaking, he raised his glass and drank a sip of tea.

Serve tea and see off guests?

Lu Huaiyong smiled again: "Okay, I'll wait for your news. If I have something else, I won't bother you anymore, say goodbye."

He stood up and said goodbye to Bai Ye, but after only a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said meaningfully: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you something. Although this national exhibition was held in Suzhou, it also cooperated with several major domestic galleries to promote and promote together."

“This also means that our Excellence Gallery also has seats for review.”

Lu Huaiyong smiled and said, "I am looking forward to thinking that I will appreciate your masterpiece soon."

"...I'm leaving, see you back!"

Bai Ye watched the other party leave, and his brows slowly frowned.

Is this a threat? Or a hint?

Both...

Bai Ye understood as soon as he thought about it, there was something in Lu Huaiyong's words.

The exhibition cooperates with several major galleries, which also means that if the signed painters from several major galleries also participate in this exhibition, they will definitely have an advantage over others.

So is there a shady story in this exhibition?

Baiye fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he shook his head, feeling that it might not be.

After all, he suspected that this national exhibition was also one of the beginnings of the Xinghan plan. Some people above attached importance to it, so who dares to take the blame for the world and operate it secretly?

Of course, it is natural that the signed painters from several major galleries have additional preferential treatment.

He was not afraid, and he had enough confidence in his paintings.

After all, the prototype of his works he is now creating is the peak of his life's artistic achievements in another time and space.

If you don’t have the ability to overwhelm the heroes like this, it is definitely not his problem, but the exhibition is too dark and the judges are blind.

With confidence, Bai Ye left the teahouse and returned to the hotel to continue painting.

Even if he has a prototype and knows how to draw it, he is not satisfied and needs to understand the essence. This time, in Suzhou, he doesn't want to be perfunctory, he has to do his best to take it seriously.

Time flies, and the final deadline for the grand exhibition is coming soon.

On this day, in the Suzhou Art Museum, there was a hustle and bustle.

Thousands of people gathered in the hall, each of whom was holding, holding, carrying, or carrying, and in short, they all brought things, either easels or scrolls, in a wide range of things.

Meanwhile, outside the art gallery, a taxi stopped and walked down two people.

One man and one woman, a man and a woman are beautiful.

“It’s so lively.”

Lin Xianyu was a little surprised: "I didn't expect there were so many people."

At the gate, you can also see the bustling crowds, not to mention the noise, coming from it, like a lively vegetable market.

"There are quite a few people."

Bai Ye glanced at him and smiled, "But most people are just here to join in the fun."

Lin Xianyu smiled and said with a look of gaze: "You are very confident."

"This is not confidence..."

Bai Ye smiled and said, "I just didn't take them seriously."
