Chapter 114 112. Ji Fa’s Responsibility

Paris is really beautiful and passionate. Chen Li'an has been here for a few days, and last night was the deepest experience.

The French rose is really delicate and beautiful, but the flowering period of the rose is very short. People like Chen Li'an who are greedy for beauty always have to spend time waiting for it to bloom again if they want to enjoy it to the fullest.

But compared with the intoxicating roses, all the wait is worth it.

Of course, just admiring it is not enough, Chen Li'an also needs to record this beauty.

Sophie Marceau, who was wearing a red dress, was sitting on the sofa. Looking at Chen Li'an who had become pious and focused again, she couldn't help but say that word in her heart. The contrast was really very different!

Why do seemingly conservative men become so romantic and passionate after drinking!

Last night, Sophie Marceau originally thought she should take the initiative. Who would have thought that in the end, she could only be like a rose destroyed by the rainstorm, letting it blow away in the wind and rain.

But last night was really wonderful, and I can't help but be obsessed with it, looking forward to the next time.

Chen Li'an didn't know what Sophie Marceau was thinking. All his thoughts were now on the painting and the brush in his hand. He was a very focused person and devoted 100% of his energy to what he was doing.

The Sophie Marceau painted on the canvas has a touch of sadness and thinking in her eyebrows. However, the red dress looks particularly powerful against the gray-blue background, like a ruby ​​that no one can touch. .

Chen Li'an had spent seven or eight hours on this painting. Sophie Marceau had taken several breaks, but Chen Li'an had been sitting in front of the easel and never left.

At the end of the painting, the role of the model can be ignored. Sophie Marceau does not have to sit there all the time. But every time she takes a rest, she will sit back again, so that Chen Li'an can see herself and she can also watch. He paints seriously.

Beauty is mutual appreciation.

In the evening, Chen Li'an looked at the painting in front of him, finally put down his brush and couldn't help but stretch.

It took more than ten hours to finish the painting. There is still a big gap between myself and Picasso!

"Is the painting finished?" Sophie Marceau stood up from the sofa, walked to Chen Li'an and looked at the finished painting, with thoughtful eyes, looking at herself in the painting silently.

She felt very strange at this moment. She had a delicate beauty in the painting, and the red dress on her body looked like a deadly poppy, which was particularly attractive, but the bright red color was very different compared to the entire gray-blue background. With a holy flavor.

Especially the twisted lines in the gray-blue background are like a devil's claw that only pulls people into the abyss. It wants to pull them into hell but can't bear to touch themselves.

"Do you like it?" Chen Li'an asked looking at the pensive Sophie Marceau.

Sophie Marceau seemed to be completely attracted by the painting and did not answer Chen Li'an's question.

No answer was the best answer. Chen Li'an didn't care about Sophie Marceau's state. He touched his empty stomach and felt that he was very hungry now, so he turned around to look for food.

What’s really surprising is that the bread at Sophie Marceau’s house is not baguette! Instead, they are fluffy and delicious macarons.

Chen Li'an took a piece of pink macaron and put it into his mouth. It was fragrant, soft and very delicious.

After eating several pieces in one breath, Chen Li'an felt that his stomach was not so uncomfortable. He turned to look at Sophie Marceau, only to find that she was still looking at the painting, as if she had been cast a holding spell.

Tang Monk didn’t read Buddhist scriptures so seriously, right?

Chen Li'an felt very satisfied with the piety and devotion of this young French literary and artistic woman. Being appreciated by others is always a happy thing.

How many people can reach the state of not being happy with things and not being sad with oneself.

People are all emotional animals and they all need affirmation and appreciation. There is no shame in facing your own desires and desires.

But it was getting late now, and the call records on his cell phone reminded Chen Li'an that he should leave.

Although Chen Li'an didn't want to disturb Sophie Marceau, he still said to her: "Sophie, I have to leave. Ji Fa has urged me several times."

Sophie Marceau was awakened by Chen Li'an's voice, stood up and looked at him with complex eyes and said, "Okay."

"Goodbye!" Chen Li'an waved to Sophie Marceau, turned around and left without a parting hug or tenderness.

Seeing Chen Li'an's back about to disappear at the door, Sophie Marceau suddenly ran over and shouted: "When will you leave Paris?"

Chen Li'an, who had just opened the door, turned to look at her and said, "Next month."

"Then can you paint another painting for me?" Sophie Marceau looked at Chen Li'an expectantly with one hand on the front and asked.

Faced with Sophie Marceau's request, Chen Li'an was a little entangled. He didn't like repetition, and he didn't want to paint a person many times.

After a moment of silence, Chen Li'an shook his head. Just when he was about to refuse, Sophie Marceau said quickly: "I know you don't like repetition, so I will show another side of me and surprise you."

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, thought for a while and said, "Okay, wait until I finish this period of time."

After hearing Chen Li'an's promise, Sophie Marceau immediately smiled. Looking at Chen Li'an who had become "conservative" again, he took a step forward and put his arms around her neck, kissed him on the face and said, "Thank you, from the East. Man, you should be as wild and passionate as you were last night, that was so charming.”

Chen Li'an raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at Sophie Marceau and said, "This is the charm of Oriental men, isn't it?"

After saying that, Chen Li'an and Sophie Marceau hugged each other gently and left.

No matter how good the roses are, they can't delay business. I didn't come to Paris just to appreciate the flowers, but for the art!

But French Rose is really beautiful!

Chen Li'an was sitting in the taxi, looking at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly thought that there were many roses in France.

Bah bah bah! Chen Li'an! How can a man be deceived by wine and sex!

Chen Li'an, who regained his composure, began to think about the cocktail party prepared by Ji Fa that evening.

This is to help Chen Li'an and Bai Qing get into the attention of art collectors.

Chen Li'an was not very interested in this kind of cocktail party, and the same was true for Bai Qing.

Looking at herself in the mirror wearing a dress, Bai Qing was not used to it. She felt that this kind of thing had no merit other than being exaggerated.

Ji Fa couldn't help but praise: "Bai Qing, you are so beautiful. This dress suits you very well."

Bai Qing dragged her long skirt and said, "I don't think so, this is not me at all."

Ji Fa walked up behind Bo Qing and supported her smooth shoulders. She couldn't help but rub her fingers lightly and said, "I know you like to be relaxed and free. Although the dress is cumbersome and heavy, it is a business card to show yourself. In a certain place, This is essential on some occasions.”

Bo Qing, who was focused on the dress, didn't notice Ji Fa's little movements, frowned and said, "Does it have to be like this?"

"Yes, dear, please work hard." Ji Fa tilted her head and rested it on Bai Qing's shoulder, looking at her in the mirror and said.

"Well, I hope it's only this time." Bai Qing said helplessly.

On the other side, Chen Li'an had just changed into layers of dresses. He felt like he was tied up by the damn clothes. Ji Fa had bought smaller clothes!

If I had known about it, I would have had it customized, but unfortunately I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to customize the suit this time.

Some tight clothes were worn on Chen Li'an. He didn't have the temperament of an artist at all. Instead, he looked like a thug in a suit.

The slim-fitting suit perfectly shows off Chen Li'an's figure. The wide shoulders and narrow waist look very sexy.

This look will surely attract many female art collectors tonight

Chen Li'an suddenly realized in his mind, could this be Ji Fa's plot? The size given to me is obviously correct, why did I buy it in a smaller size?

Damn Ji Fa! He actually planned to let himself betray his lust!

Thinking of this, Chen Li'an immediately opened the door to see what kind of dress she prepared for Bai Qing.

After arriving outside the room, Chen Li'an looked at Bai Qing in a dress and was stunned for a moment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. It was a very conservative and decent dress. It seemed that Ji Fa had something in mind.

When Ji Fa saw Chen Li'an coming out, he immediately ran over in surprise and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Li'an, I didn't expect you to look so good in a suit, but why do you feel a little small?"

Seeing Ji Fa's slightly frowning expression, Chen Li'an wondered whether he was thinking too much and eating too much recently, so his clothes were a little tight?

Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an's bulging suit and couldn't help swallowing. He stretched out his hand and pretended to smooth Chen Li's clothes. He said seriously and attentively: "It's a little wrinkled here, and it's still a little too small. You can't do it tonight." Don’t make big moves.”

Chen Li'an looked down at Ji Fa who was stroking her chest. He couldn't help but hit her on the head and said, "Have you touched her enough?"

"Yeah!" Ji Fa covered her head and raised her head to look at Chen Li'an and complained, "How stingy and not a gentleman at all!"

Gentleman, do you just want to touch me? Chen Li'an rolled his eyes at Ji Fa angrily, and then asked, "What is the purpose of tonight's cocktail party?"

Ji Fa rubbed his head before saying: "Of course we need to get to know the collectors in advance. After the Venice Biennale in June, we will participate in the summer auction."

Chen Li'an nodded and looked at Ji Fa and asked, "Should we get to know each other in advance, or should we do it secretly in advance?"

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Ji Fa was stunned for a moment and said with some surprise: "You even know this? But you are right to understand it this way. The value of an artwork is not in the art itself. You should understand this truth."

Chen Li'an sighed helplessly and said: "Of course I understand, but it's just an occasion like this for me and Bai Qing to participate, okay?"

"Don't worry, you don't need to interfere in these matters." Ji Fa patted Chen Li'an on the shoulder and said, "Just make the mascot tonight. Leave the rest to me. I guarantee that your painting will sell one good price."

Bai Qing stood behind them, listening to these conversations, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how could good art become like this? The smell of copper is too strong!

Nothing will be pure after it is linked to business. There is no way to avoid this. Chen Li'an can understand it, but he doesn't want to get involved, so he looked at Ji Fa and said: "It doesn't matter what price you sell at. What's important is not to get involved." Get involved in illegal things.”

Seeing Chen Li'an's serious look, Ji Fa smiled, patted his chest lightly and asked, "Do you care about me?"

"That's right. I don't want to have to change managers one day." Chen Li'an said calmly.

Ji Fa nodded lightly and promised seriously: "Okay, don't worry, I am a serious art dealer and will not get involved in those things."

"That's best."

The cocktail party at night was very private, no different from what Chen Li'an had imagined. He was just tired of dealing with every collector who came to talk to him and discussing various modern arts with them.

Bai Qing was very smart at this time. He pretended that his English was not good and rarely spoke, fully fulfilling the duties of a mascot.

Bo Qing held a red wine glass and looked at the people dressed in bright clothes and talking about all kinds of art, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Art is just a piece of jewelry for these people's decoration. Some of these people are pure art. Where is the collector.

Artists really shouldn't get involved in such occasions. It will make an artist lose his original intention and get lost in the feasting.

Chen Li'an could feel Bai Qing's emotions and patted her on the back gently and said in Chinese: "Don't think so much."

"Yes." Bo Qing took a sip of wine and said calmly, then turned to look at Chen Li'an and said, "Are you still going out tonight?"

Chen Li'an shook his head, looked at the irritation in Bai Qing's eyes, gently grabbed her hand and said, "I won't go out tonight."

"Well, let's go back early later. I miss you." Bai Qing held Chen Li'an's hand with his backhand, exerting a little force, as if he had accumulated a lot of emotions in his heart and wanted to vent them.

This trip to Paris did not make Bai Qing feel the feeling of success and recognition. Instead, he felt a little disappointed. This art city was different from what he had imagined.

Maybe it's because Ji Fa told her a lot about the inside story of art trading, or maybe she's tired of dealing with all kinds of strange problems. In short, she has a lot of emotions accumulated in her heart that need to be released.

Looking at Ji Fa who was still talking to someone, Chen Li'an gently held Bai Qing's hand and said, "Wait for me for a while, and I'll go talk to Ji Fa."

"Okay." Bo Qing put down the wine glass in his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

Chen Li'an nodded, came to Ji Fa's side, greeted the people she was communicating with, clinked glasses and took a sip, then turned to Ji Fa and said: "Ji Fa, Bo Qing is feeling a little unwell, I want to go first Send her back."

Ji Fa paused, turned to look at Bai Qing in the distance, then nodded lightly and said: "Okay, you can send her back first, and leave the rest to me."

"Thank you." Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa and said gratefully.

Ji Fa shook his head and said softly: "This is my responsibility. You can go back and remember not to throw your clothes around."

Chen Li'an: "."
