Ex-wife strategy: Mr. Gu dotes on me to the core

Chapter 72 The Secrets of Painters
Ye Xihe found a place to sit under the flower bed opposite the unit door.

Half an hour later, an electric car came in from outside and stopped at the door of the unit in front of her.

The other party seemed to have noticed her too.

"Are you Director Ye?"

"Yes, I am, Painter Li?"

She was not sure that the middle-aged man in front of her with unshaven beard, oily clothes and dark fingernails was the painter Li she had been in contact with.

"Go upstairs, be careful."

Although the other party's attitude was cold, fortunately, it was a good start and did not constitute a threat to her.

When I was buying groceries just now, it was obvious that I really went to buy groceries, and I didn't mean to make things difficult for her.

But she didn't understand why the artist Li wanted to jointly complain with those people. Wouldn't it be better to wait for the exhibition to end and receive a sum of money?
After climbing up stairs one after another, we finally arrived.

I saw the house number, 701, and Painter Li who lived on the top floor.

"The room is a bit messy, you can sit wherever you like."

After saying that, he took the vegetables he bought and went to the small kitchen. There was a small refrigerator half a person's height. Ye Xihe found a clean sofa and sat down. He could see the whole room clearly at a glance.

There is a small shoe rack on the left side as soon as you enter the door, and the rack on the right is filled with paints. There is a small sofa in the living room, and there is an easel in the middle instead of a coffee table. This is probably where he creates.

There is only a twenty-thirty centimeter corridor left. The innermost part is separated by a curtain. It should be the bedroom. Next to it is a small kitchen. Beyond the kitchen are the toilet and bathroom.

A painter who lives alone in a house of no more than 40 square meters has an unsatisfactory life.

Logically speaking, this painting exhibition at Li Zilong Art Museum should help him temporarily ease his finances. Why is this person still so stubborn?
"Thank you for your hard work." Painter Li brought a glass of water over, but Ye Xihe didn't drink it. After experiencing the kidnapping, she had become more vigilant. She always kept anti-wolf spray in her pockets and bags.

"Painter Li, let's get straight to the topic. You know the purpose of my visit today."

Painter Li said nothing.

"This art exhibition can bring a change in your life..."

Before Ye Xihe finished speaking, a voice sounded in the house.

"Hiro, who is here?"

The old female voice said, and Ye Xihe's eyes flashed with surprise. There were actually two people living in this small house.

"Sorry, it's my mother. I'll go check it out."

The conversation between the two was interrupted, and Painter Li opened the curtain and entered.

The old lady inside watched her go in and said, "Is A-Lian back?"

Painter Li's voice was dull: "No."

It turned out that he spoke like this, not on purpose or because he was not interested in Ye Xihe's conversation.

Then, a soft rustling sound came from inside.

Painter Li opened the curtain, came out and returned to the sofa, as if nothing was wrong.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Although Ye Xihe could tell that Painter Li didn't want to talk more about her mother, she keenly discovered that this was an important breakthrough.

"You need someone to take care of you at all times." He said casually.

"The royalties for this exhibition are five figures, with a minimum of five figures." Ye Xihe knew that he was short of money.

"What? Didn't you say that it was reduced to three or three digits?"

Sure enough, when it comes to the word "money", people who are short of money will always show their flaws.

"Who told you that the price starts from 3 digits. The minimum price starts from 5 digits. This is Director Li's expression of regret for your paintings that were destroyed last time. It did start with 3 digits before, but it will not be lower than 8."

"So, after you became the director, you also provided benefits for everyone?" Painter Li's voice sounded like a broken gong. "It's not my fault, it's the museum's apology. Although it's not a lot, we really value you painters."

Ye Xihe is now highlighting the importance of Painter Li. According to his current life, he probably encountered obstacles everywhere before.

"To tell you the truth, someone told us that the price of this painting was lowered by the new director."

"That's why you jointly complained against me." Ye Xihe said an affirmative sentence, not a question.

Painter Li hesitated for a moment and said, "That's right."

"I promise you, the minimum is 1 prefix and five digits. Do you still have concerns now?"

Ye Xihe has given such a guarantee, so what worries does he have?

"I'm sorry, Director Ye, I was really worried that the price was too low and that I wouldn't be able to recover the paint fee."

After saying this, he subconsciously looked at the curtain.

"Don't worry, it won't."

Ye Xihe's eyes were firm and powerful, and Painter Li's heart was completely moved.

"Director Ye, we are all in similar situations."

"I understand, I won't embarrass everyone." This is what she can do.

"But I have a question. Who told you that the price of the painting has been reduced?"

Although she already had the answer in her mind, she still wanted to confirm it from his mouth.

"It's Director He."

At this point, Painter Li is afraid that he already hates He Yuan to death. He deliberately spreads false news to make low-level authors like them rise up to resist and jointly report. In the end, He Yuan will take advantage of the benefits, while the disadvantages will be taken away by He Yuan. It’s all up to the painters.

"Okay, I won't tell anyone. This is a contract. It's clearly written on it. If you're satisfied with the number, just sign it."

That's it for now, there's no need to say anything more.

Painter Li took over the contract. The clear five-digit number on it still started with the prefix 2!

After checking that there were no problems with the contract, he signed his name.

Li Yang.

Ye Xihe's pricing had been discussed with Director Li a long time ago. In order to avoid the recurrence of the last time the painting was destroyed, they deliberately did not make it public.

Therefore, He Yuan also took advantage of the loophole.

"Painter Li, I hope we can continue to cooperate if we have the opportunity in the future." Ye Xihe handed over his business card.

Painter Li took it with both hands: "Thank you, Director Ye."

After coming to the first painter's house, he gained so much information. At this moment, Ye Xihe felt more confident. They were all a group of people who had been deceived. After knowing who the real liar was, there were only benefits for Ye Xihe. , no harm.

After leaving Painter Li's house, Ye Xihe looked at the house number on the 7th floor, his calves trembling.

Fortunately, going downstairs is easier than going upstairs.

Next is a female painter named Minghui who just graduated from college.

A passionate and brave man!
The community is actually the same as Painter Li, but in different buildings. It is a resettlement community. The changes in the city have brought all the original farmers into the resettlement community. These people have a large number of people and the community has a wide range.

Although they were in the same community, Ye Xihe didn't want to walk anymore and drove to the downstairs of Minghui's house.

There was a young girl at the door of the unit looking left and right.

That's her.
