Chapter 461 The Distant Her

"Ma'am, all the consumables you need are here, so let's go first, I wish you a happy new year."

"Happy New Year."

In the fair-faced concrete gallery, the workers placed the decoration materials in the atrium one after another, covered them with a layer of felt cloth, and said goodbye.

These workers will not come to work during the New Year, and they only work for half a day today, so the interior decoration work of the gallery will not be carried out until after the year.

"Ai Qing, it's hard for you to stay in London during the Chinese New Year."

"See you, Miss Bai."

Bai Wenyu expressed an apology on her lips. She provided the concept of this gallery, but Cao Aiqing completed all the interior design alone. This is the busiest thing for the girl recently, and Bai Wenyu's work habits are all things that can be discussed in person. They will not chat over the phone or online, which is one of the reasons why Cao Aiqing will stay in London this year for the Chinese New Year.

As for other reasons...

"Have you received the email from BDP?"

The older woman took out a pack of ladies' cigarettes from her handbag, took out a slender one and put it in her red lips, raised her hand to light the flame, and her manner exuded a casual elegance.

"I received it last night. I was so excited that I didn't fall asleep all night~ Thank you, Sister Bai, for your recommendation!"

Talking about this, Cao Aiqing looked joyful.

BDP, the full name of Building Design Partnership, is one of the top architectural design firms in the world. Cao Aiqing got an interview opportunity through the introduction of Bai Wenyu before, and now she has received the admission offer from the other party. There will be a three-month internship. If she performs well during the period, she can officially start her career as a designer when she graduates with a Ph.D. in June.

Such a starting point is undoubtedly very high.

"You don't need to thank me. I just happened to know a few friends who like to collect art. If you mention it, it doesn't count as a favor. It's purely because of your own strength, Ai Qing."

Bai Wenyu looked at Cao Aiqing with a kind of admiration in her eyes, and she exhaled a puff of smoke. The smell of this lady's cigarette has been diluted, even Cao Aiqing, who is sensitive to second-hand cigarettes, smells nothing, and these few days After years of contact, she is also used to the other party's smoking behavior, but seeing this, she still persuaded:
"Sister Bai, smoking is bad for your health, so smoke less if you can."

Bai Wenyu smiled at this always kind-hearted little girl, raised her chin towards the front of the two of them, which is the center of the gallery on the second floor, and asked:
"Can you tell if it's sunrise or sunset?"

Cao Aiqing looked sideways, and there was the only oil painting in the entire gallery.

In the picture, the sun and the sea are blended together, and the color adopts a large area of ​​dim yellow supplemented by sporadic blue. From the perspective of visual sense, this image is more like depicting a sunset.

"Is this... the work of Sister Bai?"

"correct."

Cao Aiqing did not give a direct answer. She knew that Bai Wenyu graduated from the Oil Painting Department of the Hong Kong City Academy of Fine Arts when she was young. After marrying into the He family, she devoted herself to helping He Panshan establish and develop the Shanhai Group. When she got divorced, she came to Europe. During her career as an auctioneer, she mostly dealt with paintings and artworks, and even now she is building a gallery, which is largely influenced by her student days.

However, compared to her vision and level of appreciating artworks, few people know about Bai Wenyu's own works. This is mainly because she has not put her mind on them these years, and has produced very few works.

"Sunrise."

"how to say?"

The girl gave an answer, and the lady asked about the process of judgment with great interest.

Cao Aiqing turned her head to look at her, instead of analyzing it from the perspective of artistic techniques, she smiled and said a very solid reasoning:
"Because most of the open coastline in the port city can only see the sun rising from the sea, not setting, so you can only see such a scene at sunrise."

Bai Wenyu was taken aback when he heard the words, then couldn't help chuckling twice, and asserted:
"It seems that when you were in Hong Kong City, you must have been to the beach on Zhaoxia Road on New Year's Eve and watched the New Year's sunrise."

Cao Aiqing, who is far away across the ocean, has a lot of thoughts about this kind of hometown habit that can only be experienced by local people in Hong Kong.

"Sister Bai, you must have seen it too, right? Otherwise, the painting wouldn't be so good."

Bai Wenyu held back her laughter, but the corner of her mouth still held a smile as if recalling it, and focused her eyes on the painting she made many years ago.

"When I was young... I went to Tianran's father, how about you? Did Tianran take you there?"

"...Well, in the third year of high school."

"Heh, the father and son are really of the same virtue..."

After saying this sentence, the two women paused for a while at the same time, thinking about their thoughts. After a while, Bai Wenyu said slowly:
"Ai Qing, Hong Kong City can see the sunset by the sea."

"where?"

"In a place called...Nanzhi Island, when I was young, I often went there to collect scenery, whether it was sunrise or sunset, I could see it very clearly, often I set up an easel there and sat for a whole day , so when I was painting this painting, I didn't know whether I was painting a sunrise or a sunset, if you have a chance, you can also go to that island to see..."

As Bai Wenyu said, she walked slowly under the frame and took off her own painting.

"Here it is for you, child."

"Miss Bai...this..."

"Hold it, the paintings hanging in this position should be from Zao Wou-ki, Lin Fengmian, Cui Ruzhuo, and even Sanyu, not Bai Wenyu, but they are all lying in the gallery designed by Cao Aiqing, you deserve it of."

This was a great affirmation to Cao Aiqing. Bai Wenyu handed the painting to the other party with both hands, and the young girl took it with fear and gratitude.

Cao Aiqing thought in her heart that Sister Bai's paintings could only be quietly brought and placed in the most conspicuous place to watch alone when the gallery was not renovated. What was hidden under this behavior should be the appreciation of the painting after she gave up her brush at the beginning. It's a pity...

"Ai Qing, I have something to ask you. Of course, considering your own time, you can think about it and give me an answer after a while. There is no rush."

"Miss Bai, tell me."

"After the Chinese New Year, when the gallery officially opens, I will return to Hong Kong City for a period of time, about two years or three years, it should be a long time, if something happens to the London gallery, I would like to ask you to handle it for me one time."

Bai Wenyu said it lightly, but Cao Aiqing was shocked.

"Miss Bai, you..."

Seeing the doubts and hesitation on the girl's face, Bai Wenyu immediately understood and said with a smile:
"did you eat lunch?"

　Thank you "Little Fairy Pocket" for joining us, I am very grateful! !
