Blackening starts from the golden years

Chapter 292 Chen Xi
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan."

"You're welcome, sit down."

"Hey."

Mina sat down next to Yuan Xudong, she looked up at him and smiled happily:

"Mr. Yuan, I recommend to you two painters, Qiao Jiafeng and Kang Yun. They are both my agents. I have been following them for several years. I guarantee you that their paintings will have a very impressive output within three to five years." There is room for appreciation, especially the painting "Desire" that Kang Yun recently painted. The concept, style, and color are all very unique. "

Looking at Mina sitting next to him, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"I can see that you work very hard. How about this? I'll take a look at the "Desire" first and then make a decision, okay?"

"Okay, thank you Mr. Yuan, you will not be disappointed with that painting "Desire"."

Mina smiled slightly, and Yuan Xudong hummed lightly. Looking at him, Mina hesitated and said:

"Mr. Yuan, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

Seeing everyone in the gallery looking at her, Gu Moli broke away from her mother-in-law and said angrily:

Gu Moli came back and saw Mina fawning over Yuan Xudong, so she called her with a smile.

"Gu Moli, I have something to do with you!"

"No matter how important the contract is, it's not as important as the fact that I'm looking for you. Get up and follow me!"

"Mina."

Gu Moli smiled.

Mina glared at Gu Moli, but before she could finish her words, Gu Moli let go of her, walked towards Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry, I'm a little late."

"You said."

"Jasmine, you are back."

Yuan Xudong looked at Mina and smiled. This young girl is still too shallow in morals, and everything she says and does seems a bit deliberate, but she is young and beautiful. Yuan Xudong doesn't mind her being a little cautious. Isn't it interesting to play with her?
Looking at the smiling Yuan Xudong, Mina leaned forward slightly and whispered:
"The valuation of the three paintings Gu Moli sold to you is a bit high. The paintings by the author Chen Qirong last year were about 32% lower than the current market price. Apart from speculation, what can rise so fast? You got it."

"Tell me, what do I regret?!"

"You're welcome, you should."

"Okay, I say!"

"Gu Moli, you said..."

Yuan Xudong raised his head and glanced at the badge hanging on Mina's chest. It was quite decent, big and round.

"Okay, this is what you want me to say here, don't regret it!"

With that said, she threw all these hotel invoices into Gu Moli's hands. Gu Moli glanced at these hotel invoices, then looked at the people watching around her, she blushed and said:
"This is my privacy, why are you looking through my things?"

"You're welcome, you should."

"It's okay, I forgive you."

Zhu's mother forcibly pulled Gu Moli up from the sofa and led her out of the gallery.

Looking at Mina, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Your name is Mina, right?"

"You're right, I was negligent. Thank you."

"Grandma Coco?"

Yuan Xudong was ready to simply read the contract and sign it. He had already agreed with Gu Moli on WeChat about the painting he wanted to buy and the price. This was actually a kind of compensation for Gu Moli. Well, I don’t know how many days had passed since he and Gu Moli had spent the night together.

"If you have anything to say, just say it here!"

Mother Zhu said angrily:

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Mina said with a flattering smile.

"Yes, my name is Mina, Mr. Yuan, can I add your WeChat account?"

"No, Grandma Coco, what are you doing?"

"Should I go through your things?"

Yuan Xudong smiled slightly. Gu Moli walked to him and sat down, handed him a contract in her hand and said with a smile:
"Mr. Yuan, this is your contract. It is a standard template. You can take a look at it and sign it if there are no problems."

Seeing Gu Moli, Zhu's mother walked over and pulled her to leave the gallery. Gu Moli didn't want to leave and said:
"You go outside and wait for me for a while. I'm signing a very important contract. I'll be fine in a moment."

After saying that, Mina was about to leave. She walked past Gu Moli. Gu Moli grabbed her arm and whispered in her ear:
"Don't look too ugly when you eat. Mr. Yuan is my client and you can't take it away."

"it is good."

Next to her, Mina looked at Gu Moli, who was smiling coquettishly, with some jealousy. At this moment, a fat old woman rushed into the Bird Gallery angrily and shouted:
"Gu Moli, come out!"

"Well, thank you for helping me receive Mr. Yuan."

Looking at Zhu Jincao's mother and mother-in-law, Gu Moli asked in surprise:
"Why are you here?"

Mina was a little embarrassed. She quickly stood up from the sofa, looked at Gu Moli and said with a smile:

Mina smiled slightly and said:

"We are all colleagues. We help each other. If you are not in the gallery, you can't let Mr. Yuan sit here and wait, right?"

Mother Zhu opened her backpack and took out a stack of invoices from a boutique hotel. She looked at Gu Moli and asked loudly:
"Look, there's such a thick pile of hotel invoices. Do you want to explain it?"

"I won't wash your clothes, how can I find this? Who did you check out a room with?"

"How do you talk?"

"How can I talk? You are my son's wife and my granddaughter's mother. You go to a hotel with someone else to book a room behind my son's back. Please explain, what do you mean?"

Looking at the people talking around her, Gu Moli held on and said:
"Then you heard clearly, the person who went to the hotel with me to book a room is your precious son Zhu Jincao, my legal husband. Are you satisfied now?"

"Is it possible? You have a home, and you go to a hotel to get a room? You pay eight hundred at a time. Who are you lying to? Who would believe it?"

"Go home and ask your precious son, why did you come to my gallery to cause trouble? Don't you feel embarrassed?"

"Am I embarrassed?"

Seeing Gu Moli wanted to leave, Zhu's mother grabbed her arm and said angrily:
"Don't even think about leaving today. Let's make it clear here. Who did you go to the hotel with to book a room? Who is that man?"

"No, I'm going to sign the contract."

"What contract are you signing? Is it important that you sign a contract?"

Looking at Gu Moli entangled with Zhu's mother, Yuan Xudong stood up from the sofa in the rest area and said:

"Moli, I'll go back if I have something else to do later. Let's sign the contract another day."

"Mr. Yuan, please wait a moment, I..."

"Gu Moli, don't even think about running away. Tell me clearly. Who is that man? Who did you rent a room with?"

"not me……"

Yuan Xudong left the Bird Gallery, and taking advantage of Gu Moli being entangled by her mother-in-law, Mina chased her out.

……

On the stone steps outside the Bird Gallery.

"Mr. Yuan, please wait for me!"

Yuan Xudong walked down the stone steps, and Mina chased him from behind on high heels. Hearing her shout, Yuan Xudong stopped and turned around to look.

"Mr. Yuan, wait!"

After chasing Yuan Xudong, Mina immediately bowed and apologized:

"Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry, please don't be angry. Gu Moli definitely cannot represent the service attitude of our gallery. You can't stop buying paintings from our gallery because of her. Besides, your new villa is so big. How can there not be a high-quality painting to match the living room? "

Looking at the panting Mina in front of him, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"I'm not angry. I really have to leave for something. However, I bought the painting "Desire" you recommended. You go back and prepare the contract."

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan, thank you. Can I add you as a WeChat friend?"

Mina looked at Yuan Xudong with excitement and smiled.

"Okay."

Yuan Xudong took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat. Mina also took out her mobile phone and opened WeChat and smiled:

"Well, let me scan you."

"Ok."

After adding WeChat friends, Mina looked at the cartoon avatar used by Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:

"Mr. Yuan, you are so cute with this avatar. I really didn't expect that you are still a childlike person."

"Don't you think it's childish?"

Yuan Xudong asked with a smile. Hearing this, Mina shook her head slightly and smiled slightly:

"I think this is quite cute."

"is it?"

Looking at Mina, who was wearing a white dress, long hair shawl, and very delicate makeup on her face, Yuan Xudong smiled slightly:

"Are you free tonight? I would like to treat you to dinner and talk about buying paintings by the way, okay?"

"Okay."

Mina was just stunned for a moment and immediately agreed to Yuan Xudong's invitation. She was very excited. Could it be that Mr. Yuan fell in love with her?
"Okay, see you tonight, bye."

"Hmm~"

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Mina waved to him and smiled:

"Mr. Yuan, please walk slowly, bye."

"Ah."

Yuan Xudong left. After watching him leave the gallery in his sports car, Mina stamped her feet very excitedly, clenched her hands into fists and shouted:
"Yeah yeah..."

After venting her excitement, Mina calmed down the excitement on her face, flipped her hair, then turned around and walked back to the gallery with her head held high to check out Jasmine's jokes.

……

In the afternoon, the company where Zhu Jincao works.

Zhu Jincao was in a meeting, and his mother kept calling him, so he could only run outside the meeting room to answer the phone.

"Mom, I'm in a meeting, what can I do for you?"

"Zhu Jincao, go home quickly."

"No, I'm in a meeting."

"What meeting are you having? Come back soon and tell me clearly. Did your wife Gu Moli go to the hotel with you to book a room?"

"No, how did you know about this?" "Is it really you? Come back here quickly, you spend eight hundred yuan for two hours, how can you be so wasteful?"

"not me……"

"Come back, I'll hang up first."

"Here……"

The phone was hung up, and Zhu Jincao had no choice but to ask the leader for a half-day leave to go home.

……

Zhu Jincao's house is a small house with one bedroom and one living room.

When Zhu Jincao came back, Zhu's mother sat at the dining table in the living room, holding a stack of hotel invoices in her hand and said angrily:
"One is eight hundred yuan. How much does it cost to have such a stack of hotel invoices?"

"I paid for all the money for the apartment."

Gu Moli sat opposite Zhu's mother and pointed at herself.

"It's not okay if it's your money."

After glaring at Gu Moli, Zhu's mother said angrily:
"Are our family some kind of rich family? We, the old couple, lived frugally and bought this house for you. It would be better for you two to go to a hotel and book a room for 800 yuan in two hours. You really don't use the money as money."

"Do you use money as payment? You went to the gallery to cause trouble today, causing me to lose all my orders. Do you know how much the commission is?"

"You still blame me, right? I wanted to drag you out today to tell you. Didn't you ask me to tell you in front of your colleagues?"

"Grandma Keke, are you being reasonable? Has this become my fault?"

"It's your fault in the first place. If you hadn't gone to the hotel to book a room, wouldn't this have happened?"

"Here……"

Gu Moli was stunned, then Mother Zhu continued:
"Let's do this from now on. Every Friday, when we go out, you two can toss around in this room, okay? I still want to have a grandson anyway, so why don't you two have a second child?"

"Having a second child? Who are you scaring to death?"

"Two hours, two hours is enough for you two, right?"

"Is it a matter of time?"

Looking at Zhu's mother, Gu Moli said angrily:
"I don't do sneaky things. I'm not used to having outsiders at home. If you don't feel embarrassed, I still feel embarrassed."

"Who are you calling an outsider?"

Looking at Gu Moli, Zhu’s mother said angrily:
"I am Zhu Jincao's mother and your mother-in-law. I cook for you, wash clothes, and take care of the children. Am I an outsider?"

"That's not what I mean by outsiders. Please don't deliberately confuse the concepts, okay?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"I……"

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Zhu Jincao interrupted. He first looked at his mother and said:

"Mom, no matter what, you can't go to Jasmine's gallery to cause trouble. Even if this incident is true, family scandals cannot be made public. Don't you understand?"

"Hey, Zhu Jincao, why is the family ugly again?"

Gu Moli said dissatisfiedly.

"Honey, I was just making an analogy, not really saying that you are a family scandal."

Looking at the coquettish Gu Moli, Zhu Jincao felt extremely distressed, and he quickly coaxed:

"Well, now you go back to the gallery and explain to Mr. Chen that this is all a misunderstanding, and try to get that order back."

"It's not like I want to come back, so I'm leaving."

"Well, let's go."

Seeing Gu Moli carrying her bag to go out, Zhu’s mother said:
"Pull that dress up so that both shoulders are exposed. What does it look like?"

"I won't."

"you……"

"Zhu Jincao, look at your wife, she is..."

"Mom, calm down, calm down, I understand, I understand everything."

"You know nothing, Zhu Jincao, you are just a lazy dog, do you know that?"

Looking at her son, Zhu’s mother couldn’t help but rolled her eyes and said angrily:

"You are a lazy dog ​​who can't help you up the wall. I, the dog helper, will almost die from exhaustion."

"Yes, yes, I am just a lazy dog. Please calm down, calm down."

"You, your wife is not someone who lives a good life, why do you have to marry her?"

"Yes, no."

……

After leaving home, Gu Moli guiltily took out last night's hotel invoice from her bag, tore it into pieces completely, and threw it into the trash can on the roadside.

Back at the gallery, Gu Moli went directly to the office to find Mr. Chen, the director of the gallery, and Mina.

Looking at Gu Moli who came to ask questions, Mina said proudly:

"Had I not adapted to the situation, turned the tide and recommended my painting to Mr. Yuan, this big customer would have been lost."

"You can speak so grandly when trying to win an order, Mina, you are truly worthy of being a sales gold medalist."

Gu Moli sat behind her desk and said sarcastically that Mina was jealous of her, and she also couldn't stand Mina.

"Do you still need me to snatch it?"

Looking at Gu Moli, Mina said sarcastically:
"Your mother-in-law made our gallery look like a vegetable market. This has seriously affected the image of our gallery. Are you still reasonable?"

Ignoring Mina, Gu Moli looked directly at Mr. Chen and said:

"Mr. Chen, although our gallery does not explicitly prohibit prying, it is an unwritten tacit understanding between our agents not to poach others or do such destructive things. Mina broke the rules. What do you think we should do? ?”

"Jasmine, your failure to handle your family affairs has affected the gallery. This is your problem. Mina also wants to retain clients."

Looking at Gu Moli, Mr. Chen said:

"It's hard to run our gallery business now. The rent costs millions every year. Can you two stop the internal friction?"

Looking up at Mr. Chen, Gu Moli said:

"Mr. Chen, do you still need to follow the rules in the future?"

"I'm telling you, I look at performance first, and then I talk about rules."

After speaking, Mr. Chen left the office directly. There were only two people left in the office, Gu Moli and Mina. Looking at Mina who looked a little proud, Gu Moli smiled slightly and said:
"Mina, I told you before, Mr. Yuan is my guest, you can't take it away, so don't waste your efforts."

"is it?"

Looking at the arrogant Gu Moli, Mina smiled and said:

"Then let's just wait and see."

"Okay, let's just wait and see."

Gu Moli smiled slightly. She and Mina looked at each other, both confident in themselves.

Mina sat behind her desk, and she and Gu Moli sent WeChat messages to Yuan Xudong almost at the same time.

Mina:

[Mr. Yuan, where can I meet you after I get off work? 】

Gu Moli:
[Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry for taking you so long today. Are you angry with me? 】

【Do you have time in the evening? May I explain this to you in person? 】

……

On the other side, Yuan Xudong is meeting with Chen Xi, the star designer of Winner Decoration Company, in his newly renovated villa.

Looking at Chen Xi, similarly, a translucent blue display slowly appeared on her head:

[Character: Chen Xi]

[Identity: The heroine of the New Home Date world, the number one star designer of Winner Decoration Company]

[Relationship: I am the decoration designer of the host’s new villa, and the design fee per square meter is one thousand yuan]

[Experience: A proud little princess since childhood]

……

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Chen Xi frowned slightly and asked:

"Mr. Yuan, are you dissatisfied with my design?"

At this time, the assistant Cao Lulu who was following her looked at Yuan Xudong's new villa and said with a smile:

"Mr. Yuan, I think the decoration is quite good? Why do you want to complain to Sister Chen Xi?"

"good?"

Yuan Xudong said with a cold face:
"Replace the imported high-grade oak with rubber wood, and replace the imported fish belly white marble with low-quality ordinary white marble. You said that the imported decoration materials were good and I accepted them. But what happened? Is this how you, the winner, fooled me? You thought I was a fool. Do you think I’m making a lot of money? I’m telling you, I’m not only going to complain to you, but I’m also going to sue you. Just wait for the court summons!”

"Mr. Yuan, please calm down first. Our winner is a very formal decoration company. Is there any misunderstanding?"

Chen Xi's assistant Cao Lulu said. Yuan Xudong ignored her. He looked directly at Chen Xi and said:
"Designer Chen, go and take a good look at it yourself!"

"it is good."

Chen Xi nodded. She peeled off a lollipop and stuffed it into her mouth, preparing to see what was going on in Yuan Xudong's house.

At this time, Yuan Xudong looked at her and said:
"Give me a lollipop too, I need to calm down."

Hearing this, Chen Xi raised his eyes and glanced at him, then said calmly:

"No, this is my lollipop. If you want to eat it, just buy it yourself."

"you……"

Looking at the cold and charming Chen Xi, Yuan Xudong looked at the assistant Cao Lulu beside her and said:
"Go and buy it for me. I want a lollipop exactly like hers."

"what?"

"do not go."
