Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 268, Merger Rewards, Wang Zhen Brings Good News

Jiang Zhe returned to his studio with his painting supplies and gifts.

Half an hour later, he finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed.

Open the system and look at the task prompt:

Sketching assignments are now available for submission.

Jiang Zhe clicks Submit.

Task display: Task completed, do you want to collect the reward?

Jiang Zhe considered that he was not short of money and did not have any skills that he urgently needed to acquire, so he wanted to see what changes would occur if he combined the rewards of the two tasks.

He finally decided to merge the rewards for this mission with the rewards for the subsequent group painting missions.

The system page showed that the merge was complete and the phones rang almost at the same time.

When Jiang Zhe saw that the caller was from his home landline number, he guessed that his parents were urging him to go home for dinner.

……

The sound of the key turning the door made Xiao Ka let out a low bark and ran quickly to the door.

Jiang Zhe pushed open the door and saw Xiao Ka.

He patted the exhibition card.

Mother's voice came from the kitchen. "Is Xiaozhe back?"

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Jiang Yi and his wife came over from the living room and kitchen respectively, and saw Jiang Zhe carrying several bags. They hurriedly took them and urged him to wash his hands and eat.

During the meal, the two asked Jiang Zhe about his experience during the sketching period.

Jiang Zhe selected the more interesting things during the sketching process and described them to his parents.

After dinner, I watched TV with my parents, chatted, and enjoyed happy family time.

On Saturday morning, Jiang Zhe returned to his studio to organize dozens of works he had completed during his sketching period.

He put together the works that were considered fine works, and did not immediately throw away the paintings that were considered good or even ordinary works, so that he could find some desirable content from them and prepare for the group painting.

Looking at the works filling up the studio, he thought about his unfinished tasks, one was a group painting, the other was the semester goal.

Copying the works of Ingres and Raphael and completing the group painting can be carried out simultaneously and must be completed this semester.

He had just finished organizing his work when he heard the doorbell.

Looking at the time, I guessed that Chen Yan had arrived.

When I opened the door, I saw Chen Yan standing outside.

Chen Yan entered the room and waited for Jiang Zhe to close the door. She then put her arms around Jiang Zhe's neck and hung herself on him.

Jiang Zhe was not polite either. He held Chen Yan and walked directly to the bedroom...

When you are tired from activities, eat and continue to move...

After the rain, the clouds cleared.

At 2 pm, Jiang Zhe woke up Chen Yan who was resting.

"Well, what's wrong? Is there anything else?" Chen Yan opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Zhe, then closed her eyes.

Jiang Zhe said, "Wait a moment, Manager Wang from the gallery will be here soon."

"Oh, why choose this time?" Chen Yan complained.

Jiang Zhe said: "Some things can't be put off, she came to give me something."

At 2:30, the studio doorbell rang on time.

Jiang Zhe opened the door and saw Wang Zhen standing outside the door with a briefcase.

"Manager Wang, please come in."

Wang Zhen was let into the house. "Going out for sketching, is everything going well?"

"I have painted a number of works. Please give me some advice." Jiang Zhe invited Wang Zhen to take a seat.
Wang Zhen saw Chen Yan coming over with fruits and asked with a smile, "Chen Yan is here too." "Manager Wang, try some fruit." Chen Yan's face was full of smiles.

Wang Zhen said to Jiang Zhe, "Did I disturb you?"

"No."

Wang Zhen said, "Let's talk about business first." She took out a catalog from her bag.

"This is the catalogue of the Times Spring Auction. Take a look and see if there are any antiques you like. Your work is in the Contemporary Art Oil Painting Special."

Jiang Zhe took the catalog and said, "Thank you for coming to my place. You're welcome. Wash your hands and have some fruit."

"Don't worry, let's take a look at your works first." As soon as Wang Zhen entered the room, he saw Jiang Zhe's works in the studio, especially a group of oil paintings.

Although these paintings were created on oil paper, Wang Zhen looked at them very carefully.

"Though your paintings are different from before, they are still very charming. Bring them to my place for an exhibition."

Jiang Zhe said, "No hurry, the school is organizing a sketching exhibition. Professor Qin asked me to send one or two paintings to participate.

Recently, I want to draw a series of paintings. If I finish them, I can take them to your gallery for exhibition. "

"It's agreed. I'm waiting for your work."

"Manager Zhao asked if you have time to go to the auction next week?" Wang Zhen asked while looking at the works.

Jiang Zhe said, "I guess there's no time."

After Wang Zhen finished looking at the works, he noticed some more small things on the workbench. A cloth tiger made of floral fabric, a wicker-edged basket with handles, and a fruit basket. "Is this the handicraft you bought?"

Jiang Zhe said: "There are several mountain villages where I sketch. There are some old craftsmen there who can still make some traditional handicrafts. I thought it was very interesting, so I bought some."

Wang Zhen said: "Although it looks rough, it retains its original flavor."

Jiang Zhe made tea for Wang Zhen and said, "I also brought you some local specialties. Don't be disgusted. Take them with you when you return to the gallery."

"Thank you." Wang Zhen returned to his seat and said, "Binhai has a lot of things to do during the few days you were away."

"what's up?"

Wang Zhen picked up the cup and said, "It seems that something happened to the Honglu Group that bought your shop. There is news recently that they seem to be selling some of their assets."

"Oh, really?" Jiang Zhe paused.

Wang Zhen said: "Some of my clients have heard some rumors. Since it is related to you, I paid attention to it. I heard that their listing plan seemed to have failed and they were forced to start selling assets?"

"Is it that serious?" Jiang Zhe's expression remained unchanged.

"You should be happy. You and Jin Yuming were competing in the previous selection." Wang Zhen suddenly stopped: "Sorry for bringing up a topic that makes you unhappy."

Jiang Zhe said: "It doesn't matter, it's all over."

Wang Zhen said: "After all, you have had competition. Honglu Group is busy with its own affairs and has no time to mess with you."

Jiang Zhe saw from the system's feedback that the mastermind was suffering, but he didn't know the specific details, so he wanted to know more details from Wang Zhen. Unfortunately, Wang Zhen didn't know much, and a lot of the information was hearsay.

Wang Zhen chatted for a while and then left with the gift.

While Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan were looking through the auction catalogue, Director Jin and a man in his thirties walked out of the conference room side by side. Behind them were their respective subordinates.

Mr. Jin and the man walked towards the elevator, talking and laughing on the way. The people behind them were silent.

In front of the elevator, Mr. Jin shook hands with the man and said goodbye politely.

The man watched Director Jin and her subordinates enter the elevator, and kept smiling and waving goodbye before the elevator door closed.

After the elevator door closed, he put away his smile, turned around and walked back very quickly.

Mr. Jin and his group arrived at the parking lot and got into two cars respectively.

Mr. Jin got into his car, his smile had disappeared and his face seemed to be frozen with frost.

The assistant saw her expression and didn't dare to say a word.

Two cars left the parking lot, one in front of the other.
