Chapter 1766 - 1766 The Meaning
1766 The Meaning
Old Master He went to Su Lu’s art exhibition during the day and reminisced about it at night.
He was naturally very happy to see He Shihui. He smiled and invited her to take a seat.
“Grandpa, Carlo is going to take on an apprentice soon. I’ve brought my own paintings to ask for your guidance. This way, I’ll be more confident when I visit Carlo.”
Old Master He unfolded her paintings and looked at them for a while before saying, “Not bad, not bad. They’re already very stylish. However, if you want to be recognized, I suggest you go to Su Lu’s art exhibition to take a look.”
“Grandpa, do you think it’s more likely that Carlo would take a fancy to Su Lu?” He Shihui asked bluntly.
“I went to Su Lu’s art exhibition today and saw his paintings. His style and the content he chose do have a high advantage. With my understanding of Carlo, the probability of his works being chosen is higher,” Old Master He said bluntly. “Shihui, you don’t have to take it to heart. You’re busy with a lot of things every day. You really don’t have that much time for painting. No matter what, I won’t blame you.”
It was not his fault that He Shihui wanted this opportunity.
What she wanted was more recognition.
She had always known that her parents were not powerful enough compared to He Jiang and Lin Xiruo. Her father had passed away early, and her mother’s personality was not presentable. As a result, she had never been valued enough compared to He Xuyan.
Now that there was Su Bei, she was even more worried that she would lose her position, so she was trembling with fear and worry.
She could only rely on her own hard work and progress to fight for more things that belonged to her.
She was really determined to get Carlo to take her in as his apprentice this time!
After she went out, she called Li Yishou. “I want you to find out what painting Su Lu is preparing for Carlo!”
Li Yishou was also a smart person and immediately understood what she meant.
…
Qian Gouhua was busy with Su Lu’s art exhibition.
Su Lu became famous and successful through this art exhibition. As his manager, he also obtained an extremely high reputation in the industry.
Qian Gouhua was currently busy.
In his hotel room, he answered one phone call after another.
When Li Yishou came to look for him, he was answering a call from an advertiser.
Seeing the woman standing outside the door, he immediately said, “Wait a minute. Let me finish the call first.”
He closed the door.
He didn’t want to accept any commercials for Su Lu, so his attitude was very perfunctory. When he saw Li Yishou come over, he deliberately wanted her to wait longer, so he talked on the phone for a long time.
Half an hour later, he hung up the phone and opened the door. He thought that the woman had left, but he didn’t expect to find Li Yishou still in front of him.
She had waited at the door for more than half an hour.
“Why are you looking for me?”
“Can’t I look for you for no reason?” Li Yishou sat down beside him. Her scent enveloped him.
Qian Gouhua felt his blood boil. “Aren’t you married to He Shihui’s assistant?”
“But he’s not as good as you.” Li Yishou put her finger on the back of his hand and scratched it twice with her fingernail.
Qian Guohua trembled. He wanted to avoid her, but he couldn’t. He could only let her do whatever she wanted.
A large part of the reason why he wanted to hold the art exhibition was that he wanted to see Li Yishou regret it!
Now that she regretted it and saw his ability, Qian Gouhua felt extremely happy.
However, he also knew in his heart that this success was a huge coincidence. It was mainly thanks to Su Lu.
Li Yishou said gently, “Ah Hua, I had no choice back then. You know that my father was sick at that time. Only the United States had the kind of medicine that could treat him. I was short of money and a green card, so I had to make that choice if I wanted to stay…”
Qian Gouhua’s heart softened.
She continued, “If I really had a choice, why wouldn’t I choose someone who’s like-minded, understanding, and telepathic?”
Qian Gouhua could not help but be convinced. He could not restrain himself when Li Yishou made a move to kiss him, but he also knew that Li Yishou was a married woman. What was he doing?
In the nick of time, he stood up and said, “I’m going to the washroom.”
He went into the bathroom and splashed his face with some cold water. Li Yishou quickly found the place where he had placed the painting. The two of them had known each other for many years, so she knew his habits too well. She knew where he would put important things.
She quickly took a photo
After washing his face, Qian Xihua calmed down. When he came out, his voice was a little cold. “You should go back first.”
Li Yishou did not want anything to happen between them. She did not want to fall out with He Shihui.
She stood up and said gently, “I know you still need time to think about it. It’s okay. We’ll meet again next time.”
As soon as she left, she turned around and sent the photo she had taken to He Shihui. “This is the painting that Su Lu is going to show Carlo.”
…
The news that Carlo was coming to take in an apprentice was widely spread in the circle. Everyone was waiting to see what kind of apprentice he would choose.
Many painters who had such intentions also handed their proud works to Carlo, hoping to be chosen.
Naturally, Qian Guohua would not give up the opportunity to promote Su Lu. He handed over Su Lu’s work as well.
Now, it was time to see the final outcome.
That night, Carlo held a grand banquet to announce the results.
All the famous painters in the industry were invited. Some businessmen who were very interested in painting were also invited.
Old Master He naturally wouldn’t give up such a good opportunity. Not only was he there, but he also helped Carlo with the venue.
Carlo rarely met anyone, let alone appear in public.
This time, the event was naturally very eye-catching.
Especially since he was an oil painting master and had an extremely powerful family background, people flocked to him.
Some people in the business world especially wanted to participate in this grand event, but because they usually had nothing to do with the painting industry, they were not invited. They tried their best but could not get tickets. They could not help but sigh!
Under such circumstances, it was a rare opportunity for anyone to appear at the scene.
He Shihui received an invitation because she submitted her painting.
Naturally, Su Lu was also invited.
Wang Hui flaunted in front of Su Bei for a long time, hinting that Su Bei did not get an invitation because she was not capable enough.
Su Bei was worried that she would receive invitations as both Su Bei and Su Lu. That would be troublesome. This was perfect.
Old Master He originally wanted to bring her to the scene to see the world, but Su Bei refused.
