Chapter 18 Selling Paintings
The University of Arts is one of the best art colleges in China. People who love art often come to tap potential stocks, and the University of Arts officials are also willing to match them. The students of the school have made a name for themselves in the art world, which is also the honor of the school.

Today, a lady came, this is the sponsor of the studio building of Yida University.

The dean and the director of the oil painting department personally received the reception. The works of the entire oil painting department students are in this building. Li Ruoxi, an outstanding third-year student, followed and introduced the situation in the department to his wife.

"Auntie, can we have dinner together later? Last time my mother said that I would have dinner with you, I have been looking forward to it for a long time." Li Ruoxi obediently clasped the arm of the lady beside her, her words were flattering and respectful.

"Okay, you call your mother, let's go have dinner together." Madam nodded, and suggested: "It happens that Yang Yi is also idle today, call him together."

When Li Ruoxi heard Yang Yi's name, her face turned red and she lowered her head, humming lightly.

The madam didn't say anything more, Li Ruoxi was the best at observing words and expressions, and with the consent of the other party, she found an excuse to leave first, and went to inform her mother and Yang Yi. With today's dinner, the matter between her and Yang Yi is considered to have passed the elders This is a bright side.

Thinking of Yang Yi coming to pick her up yesterday, giving her generous gifts, and his extraordinary conversation and appearance, being polite and gentleman to her, without the frivolity of a rich boy, Li Ruoxi couldn't help feeling shy.

My mother said that the Yang family I introduced to her was a family of poetry and etiquette. As long as she was satisfied, she would discuss marriage with the Yang family after she graduated.

Originally, she was not willing to go on a blind date, but the other party was Yang Yi, so she was still willing.

Pick up the phone and call Yang Yi: "Hey, little brother Yang, Auntie said that we will have dinner with my mother today..."

When Li Ruoxi walked away, Mrs. Yang said: "Principal, I am here to ask the principal for help."

The dean nodded: "Madam, please tell me."

"To be honest, my husband heard that there is a very talented student in the third year of the oil painting department, but his family is difficult, so he specially invited me to meet her this time."

Yang Ma opened her mouth to explain why she came here. The department head heard the voice and knew that it was Meng Xiao who was talking about. He quickly led the way and asked Yang Ma to go to Meng Xiao's studio to have a look.

"Mr. Yang should be talking about Meng Xiao. This Meng Xiao is the number one every year. He is also very talented in painting. It is a pity that his parents died unexpectedly when he entered the freshman year. There is still a younger brother to support at home. I rely on scholarships and some part-time jobs outside to earn living expenses."

The dean of the department opened the door of Meng Xiao's studio, and the oncoming oil painting was a shining golden yellow, with ripe wheat holding its fruits high, and the awns of the wheat were sharp.The sky is gray and blue, as if on the border between sunny and hazy, just waiting for the viewer to experience it for himself.

This painting, facing the door of the studio, displays its unique spikes.

Looking closer, the texture between the brush strokes makes Maimang tender, and the two contradictory images are handled very harmoniously by Meng Xiao.

Mama Yang nodded, it was a good painting.

The head of the department strongly recommended Meng Xiao. If this student didn't have a problem with his family, he would definitely have made more achievements than Li Ruoxi. If he could get the support of this lady, Meng Xiao's future would be limitless.

When Meng Xiao received the call, he saw the head of the department incarnate as Wang Po, frantically selling his own melons, that is, himself.

"Meng Xiao come here." The head of the department saw Meng Xiao and told her to come over.

Meng Xiao walked in and said hello to the dean and the head of the department.

"This is Mrs. Yang. Mrs. Yang admires your paintings very much." The head of the department hinted that Meng Xiao knew the information well.

"Hello, Mrs. Yang." Meng Xiao said hello.

Mrs. Yang nodded, and the assistant behind her gave a business card, and then asked a few questions about the art building, and asked the dean and department head to go out as well.

Only Meng Xiao and this Mrs. Yang were left in the studio. Meng Xiao looked at her. She was wearing a white designer suit, her hair was combed meticulously, and the jewelry accessories around her seemed to be valuable, but she was not ostentatious. Gives a gentle and kind feeling.

Probably because of being watered by love, she doesn't look old, Meng Xiao can't guess her approximate age.

Mrs. Yang looked at her painting very intently. It was a work created by Meng Xiao some time ago. The inspiration came from the remote path back from the convenience store.

When the wheat was ripe, she and Yang Yi met, and later they often walked through the large wheat fields hand in hand.

"This painting is very interesting." Mrs. Yang praised.

"Thank you Ma'am for liking it." Meng Xiao thanked, but it was a pity that the owner of the land on that road did not plant wheat in the second year but fruit trees instead.

"Here..." Mrs. Yang touched the depths of the wheat field with her fingers, and said, "Can I add something else?"

As soon as these words came out, Meng Xiao knew that Mrs. Yang intended to buy this painting.

In the depths of the painting is a row of private houses, all of which have been demolished now.

"Originally there was a small path in this wheat field, but due to time constraints, it has not been drawn, so that the path can spread far away." Meng Xiao gestured on the painting and asked Mrs. Yang.

"I don't know what Madam wants to add?"

Madam Yang nodded and said, "It will be my husband's wedding anniversary in a few days, and I want to give it to my husband as a present."

Meng Xiao: "I don't know if Madam has any photos of her husband? I hope there are as many photos as possible if allowed."

Madam nodded, and promised to ask the assistant to send the photos later, and promised to pay Meng Xiao 10 yuan.

For the students at school, one hundred thousand paintings is already a very high starting point, and Meng Xiao can't let go of this opportunity.

This was originally a work she created for her graduation exhibition to commemorate her meeting and acquaintance with Yang Yi.

But no matter how precious the memories are, now in front of her eyes, they are no longer more important than money.

Mrs. Yang was very generous and directly paid Meng Xiao [-] yuan.

Then Meng Xiao stayed in the studio day and night, and his wife sent a lot of photos. From the newlywed Yaner to the present, we can see that the two of them have gone through a lot of hardships.

Call Meng Xun to let him study hard, she has already settled the debt, and the [-] is just enough to pay back to his uncle.

The photos of Mrs. and Mrs. were clipped on the drawing board together with the business card, and circled around Meng Xiao. The name and origin of Mrs. were written on the business card.

Yi Yongxian, Chairman of the Board of Directors of BOCO Group.

……

Yang's villa, Yang's mother's car came back from outside.

Father Yang had been waiting at home for a long time, and Yang You was pacing back and forth anxiously.

Today, when she came home from school, she found out that her mother had gone to see that young lady. She wondered if her mother would still recognize her, and what was her impression of her.

The car drove into the garage, and Mama Yang walked in.

"Mom." Yang You went up to meet her and helped her get the slippers.

"Youyou, didn't you do your homework today? What are you doing here?" Yang's mother had a headache, her daughter was about to be in her third year of high school, but now she was so lazy, she didn't know how to do her homework when she got home.

Yang Ma reprimanded: "Go up and do your homework."

Yang You pouted, but their mother was the oldest, and her father didn't dare to help her, so he nodded reluctantly and walked upstairs.

In order to prevent Yang You from eavesdropping, Father Yang and Mother Yang also went to the study to talk.

"How is that girl?" Papa Yang asked.

Yang Ma sat on the sofa, nodded and said: "Regardless of family background, he is indeed a very good child. He has no utilitarianism in his eyes, but some artists are noble and persistent. Compared with Miss Li's family, this child is much stronger."

"It seems that her son's changes in the past few years have something to do with her. People in the company say that although Yi'er is a newcomer, he is not a businessman who is utilitarian. On the contrary, he is much more stable than children of the same age." Father Yang nodded.

Father Yang asked again: "What do you think of being a daughter-in-law?"

There are many kinds of good children, and Yang You is also a good child, but he is too playful, so he thinks that she should stay for a few more years before she can fall in love and get married, otherwise he won't be at ease.

Meng Xiao is a good boy, but that doesn't mean he's suitable to be the wife of a wealthy family.

This... Mrs. Yang is in trouble. She is a nice person, but her family background is too poor.

"I think Yi'er has gotten closer to Miss Li's family these days, why not let him choose. The girl Meng Xiao doesn't know Yi'er's identity yet, let's see how they get along in the future." Dinner with Li Ruoxi's mother and daughter today , she saw that Yang Yi also took good care of Li Ruoxi, maybe her son chose Li Ruoxi in the end.

"Maybe, the two of you have already broken up." Yang's mother guessed, "I also gave Meng Xiao 10 yuan to help her in an emergency. Let's see how her character is. It's not too late to make a decision."

That's all there is to it, Dad Yang has a headache when he thinks of Yang Yi's mess.
