Chapter 1756 - 1756 Please Keep A Low Profile
1756 Please Keep A Low Profile
He Shihui was very humble and sincere. Although she was indignant, she knew that with her strength, there was no benefit in fighting Su Bei head-on.
Su Bei’s father, brother, and husband were so influential. She could only rely on time to surpass Su Bei and defeat her.
Nothing could be done overnight.
“Then I’ll send you an invitation to the art exhibition,” He Shihui said.
“Okay, okay. Give it to me in advance so that I can be prepared!” Old Master He was already looking forward to it.
…
Su Bei received a call from Qian Gouhua. “My art exhibition? In five days?”
Coincidentally, it happened to coincide with He Shihui’s timing.
“Is that not okay, Su Lu? I spent a lot of effort preparing for this. I rushed to the United States overnight, did all the preparations, and got someone to book a venue for me. I almost lost my life here. Don’t tell me you can’t! Anyway, you have to do it even if you can’t. I’ve already shipped your paintings over. Just prepare two new ones for me!”
Qian Gouhua could not wait anymore. He was more concerned about the art exhibition than Su Bei herself!
Of course, it was also because his own career was on the line.
“But the timing is really a little unlucky,” Su Bei said.
He Shihui had specially prepared this art exhibition to please Old Master He.
He Shihui didn’t have any obvious hostility toward her at the moment. There were only some hidden struggles. Su Bei didn’t want to fight with her now.
“What’s so unlucky about it?! Anyway, no matter how unlucky it is, this is the only time we can do it. I’ve already booked the venue! Su Lu, don’t give up at the last minute! I’m risking my life here!”
Qian Gouhua was usually a very stiff person. It was only when it came to matters related to paintings that he would kick up a fuss.
Su Bei had a headache. “Okay, okay. Let’s do it at this time. But let’s keep a low profile, okay?”
“Okay, okay. I know you don’t like to socialize with too many people. I’ll definitely try my best to keep a low profile and not let too many people disturb you. Also, I won’t accept social engagements that I shouldn’t.” Qian Gouhua was also very straightforward.
He had been Su Bei’s art manager for so long, but he had never done anything out of line to make things difficult for Su Bei.
Su Bei just let him be.
As she had to hand over two new paintings to him, Su Bei had to disguise herself as Su Lu to meet him.
Su Bei was staying in the He family’s mansion now, so it was not appropriate for her to appear in the He family’s mansion as a man.
Fortunately, He Jiang and He Xuyan were worried that she would not be used to living in the He family’s mansion, so they left her the keys to a few apartments. They told her to stay wherever she liked and experience the charm of the city where the He family was located.
This was really useful now.
Su Bei went to buy some suitable men’s clothes and found a nearby apartment. After changing inside, she walked out.
She hadn’t worn men’s clothes for a long time and felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, no one in the United States knew her. She had plenty of time to get used to it.
She quickly arrived at the place she had agreed to meet Qian Gouhua and waited for him to arrive.
Soon, she saw Qian Gouhua arriving wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and an ordinary black suit. His face was filled with excitement.
“Su Lu!” Qian Gouhua came forward to hug her.
Su Bei quickly stopped him from being too enthusiastic. This person was really something. He usually did not act like this. But as long as it was related to paintings, he would become especially enthusiastic.
“You’re finally here.” Qian Gouhua didn’t mind. It did not matter if he did not manage to hug Su Lu. “I wanted to hold an art exhibition for you in the United States before. Now is the right time and place. The right people are here too. When I was in S Country, they promised to rent that venue to me. Let me tell you, I’ve helped other artists hold exhibitions in that venue before. It’s a particularly good place with good feng shui! So this time, I specially arranged it for you!”
“Not bad,” Su Bei praised.
“Yes, it’s great. Actually, I got someone to reserve it for me a long time ago. I’m on good terms with the people there, so, of course, they have to leave the venue for me. I’ll bring you there to take a look later.”
“Okay, then I’ll give you my paintings first. Take them and frame them up first.” Su Bei handed him her new works.
“I know how to frame them myself, so don’t worry!” Qian Guohua reached out to take the paintings. He unfolded them and looked at them. He couldn’t wait to frame them immediately.
Su Bei’s skills were improving, but she was still able to maintain her original style. The genius displayed in her new works was really rare.
“Didn’t you say we were going to the venue?” Su Bei asked.
“Yes, we’re going to see the venue. Let’s go see the venue first!” Qian Gouhua carefully rolled up Su Bei’s paintings and held them in his hand.
No matter how important framing the new works was, it was not as important as the venue.
Su Bei went to a commercial building with him.
The top floor of this commercial building was specially used for art exhibitions. It was a completely different world.
Those who often came here were very fond of art. Therefore, although the art exhibitions held here could attract the people who were attracted by the publicity, there were also enough individual guests who would attend just for the sake of admiring art.
Choosing a venue and renting a venue tested the ability of an artist’s manager.
Painters needed to focus on their own matters. Many business negotiations, cooperation negotiations, venue selection, and so on needed to be handled by specialized people.
Only by leaving professional matters to professionals could they maximize their value.
Therefore, a painter needed an agent.
Even a rich young lady like He Shihui had to hand over her artwork to a professional manager, not just her assistant.
This was where Qian Gouhua’s professional talents were displayed.
“Su Lu, what do you think of this place?” Qian Xuhua led Su Bei in proudly.
The spacious venue could accommodate many people. The decorations were very professional and artistic. The separate cubicles could better separate some paintings from others. They could be specially placed for people to admire.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows could receive bright sunlight, allowing the light in the room to fuse with the light outside, forming a spectacular scene. The space was transparent, imposing, and bright.
At night, the neon lights outside the window could add more artistic color to the art exhibition itself.
At the scene, there were already workers setting up the venue according to Qian Gouhua’s plan.
When Su Bei saw this place, she was very satisfied. A smile gradually appeared on her face.
“It’s not bad, right? Look over there…” Seeing her smile, Qian Guohua talked to her even more vigorously.
