1477 No Choice But To Part With It
“If you don’t leave, I’m going to call security!” Xiao Bai screamed!
Su Bei and Qiao Mei walked out and saw this scene. Su Bei said sternly, “Mr. Qian, let go of Xiao Bai!”
Only then did Mr. Qian realize that he was too excited. He let go of Xiao Bai and said, “Miss Su, this isn’t intentional.”
Su Bei went forward and pulled Xiao Bai over. Xiao Bai complained angrily, “He’s lying. He clearly touched me! He even wanted to snatch my things! I’m going to call the police now. How dare he do such a thing in the company? Su Bei, you have to be careful. Don’t let him touch you. Sister Qiao Mei, I’m calling the police!”
Mr. Qian hurriedly waved his hand. “It’s a misunderstanding. It’s because I saw this painting that I asked this miss about it. I was too stunned. I’m really sorry. I don’t have any ill intentions.”
Because Su Bei and Qiao Mei had seen him just now, they were familiar with his personality. They said to Xiao Bai, “Don’t call the police yet. He’s someone we know.”
When Xiao Bai heard that he was a friend, she relaxed a little. However, when she saw this person’s crazy look, she did not have a good impression of him at all. She glared at him angrily.
“Mr. Qian, what’s going on?” Su Bei asked.
“I want to know who painted this painting! Miss Su, do you know? Or does Miss Xiao Bai know?” Mr. Qian held the painting in his hand with an urgent expression, unwilling to let go of it.
“Hey, don’t crush that painting!” Xiao Bai went forward to snatch it.
Mr. Qian had no choice but to part with the painting and carefully return it to her.
Qiao Mei thought that Mr. Lu had found someone to paint it for Su Bei again, so she looked at Su Bei.
Su Bei took a closer look at the painting in Xiao Bai’s hand. Didn’t she paint this herself?
Gun Gun studied painting. Her mother, Lin Xiruo, was a famous painter. Sometimes, when Su Bei had nothing to do at home, she would paint a little with Gun Gun. This painting was the one she was going to auction at the charity banquet. In the end, Xiao Bai took the wrong painting and took Gun Gun’s one instead. After that, so many things happened.
‘And now, Mr. Qian has taken a fancy to this one?’
Su Bei looked at Mr. Qian and said, “Mr. Qian, what’s with your behavior?”
“Miss Su, you didn’t tell me who painted the previous painting. But it should be okay for you to tell me the creator of this painting, right?”
Surprised, Su Bei asked, “Mr. Qian, how do you know that these two paintings weren’t done by the same person?”
When Mr. Qian was asked about his field of expertise, he immediately said confidently, “Look at the previous one. The penmanship is young and inexperienced, and the lines are quite choppy. However, the advantage is that the spiritual energy is so high that it makes one unable to put it down. It makes up for the flaws, and the creator will eventually become a master of his generation. As for this painting, the penmanship and technique are relatively mature. The work is talented, bold, and imaginative. The strokes contain great wisdom but to a certain extent, they’re also foolish. Both works have their own merits. The technique, brushmanship, use of colors, and so on are not the same between these two works, so they must have been painted by two different people.”
Su Bei looked at her painting carefully. She didn’t see any difference.
Even so, she had never told anyone about her paintings, especially Da Bao and Gun Gun. Even Qiao Mei and Xiao Bai were not aware of it. In that case, Mr. Qian did have some taste.
“Miss Su, believe me. I’m definitely not wrong. At the moment, the painters of these two paintings are slightly immature. However, this immaturity is also unique to many fledgling painters. This only means that the painters haven’t been tainted by the business market. Therefore, this isn’t a flaw. Other advantages can be made up for over time.”
Su Bei admitted that what he said made sense. She had not studied painting professionally. The fact that she had some skills in painting is probably because she inherited them from her mother.
Gun Gun had always liked to learn how to paint, but he was still young and had only learned the basics.
“You wouldn’t give out the name of your friend just now nor would you let me open an art exhibition for him. What about this friend?” Mr. Qian asked expectantly.
Seeing that this person was beating about the bush, Xiao Bai snorted and said, “Why don’t I understand what you’re talking about? Hmph, our Su Bei won’t easily believe you.”
Mr. Qian was immediately disappointed. He stared at the painting that he had returned to Xiao Bai. His gaze seemed to be nailed to it, and he could not bear to look away.
Seeing that he was still staring at the painting, Xiao Bai covered the painting and refused to let him look at it.
“Can I have another look?” Mr. Qian looked ingratiating.
However, this made Xiao Bai feel even more disgusted. She was determined not to let him look at it again.
Su Bei thought for a while and said, “I really can’t introduce you to my friend who produced the first work. Let me ask the painter for this one.”
Su Bei was not crazy about painting, but she had a natural pursuit of beauty that made her quite interested in it.
If she was no longer filming in the future, it would be quite nice if she could open an art exhibition.
Mr. Qian’s eyes widened when he heard that. He pounced forward to hug Su Bei.
Fortunately, Qiao Mei was already prepared and immediately stopped him. “Stop, stop! Is Su Bei someone you can hug as you please?”
Mr. Qian rubbed his hands excitedly and took a few steps back. “Thank you so much, Su Bei! If your friend is really willing to cooperate with me, I’m willing to pay them lucratively! Moreover, I guarantee that I’ll help them with everything from start to end. As for the painter, they just need to paint whatever they like according to their mood. I promise not to interfere with anything else. If they don’t like to socialize, I’ll block out everything for them!”
“But I’m not sure she’ll agree to it yet.” After all, Su Bei still had to discuss it with Lu Heting and find out more about Mr. Qian’s background. “I’ll contact you when I have an answer.”
“No problem, no problem.” Mr. Qian was now hopeful and excited. “Then I’ll wait for your good news!”
“Yes. Whether it works out or not, I’ll call you and make it clear.”
Mr. Qian nodded eagerly. Behind his lenses, his eyes shone.
After he left, Xiao Bai said, “Su Bei, are you really going to agree?”
“Let me think about it first,” she said.
Xiao Bai unfolded the painting. “Then I’ll have to take good care of your friend’s painting. From what that person said, I can’t afford to pay for such a precious thing.”
Qiao Mei also nodded. “Xiao Bai, go to a special shop to get it framed and put it away. Otherwise, if something happens to it, it’ll be hard for Su Bei to explain things to her friend.”
