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

Jiang Zhe scooped up water to wash his face.

The cool touch makes the brain clear.

"Xiaozhe, come down and have breakfast." came the mother's voice.

"I'll be right there." Jiang Zhe wiped his face with a towel.

Yesterday, my parents stayed in the villa to rest.

He went downstairs and helped his parents put breakfast on the table. Xiaoka also ran into the living room, waiting for his breakfast.

Crispy fried dough sticks, pies stuffed with chives and eggs, and tea eggs all have an enticing aroma.

Xu Li said as she served the porridge: "Xiaozhe, it's nothing, we will go back today. Remember to eat on time, don't just rush."

Jiang Zhe said: "Why don't you stay a few more days? You don't have anything to do."

"Who said it's okay? I'm going to a wedding today. I have to go back and clean up. I can't leave no one at home." Xu Li said.
"Whose wedding is it?"

"My colleagues' children are all married."

Jiang Zhe said: "I'll prepare red envelopes for you."

"No, we are all ready." Xu Li said, "I don't know when we can get it back."

Jiang Zhe was already traumatized by these words from his previous life, so he immediately lowered his head to eat.

After breakfast, Jiang Yi and his wife left Xiao Ka in the villa and went about their business.

In the morning, Jiang Zhe continued to perfect his work.

At noon, Chen Yan came over to have lunch with Jiang Zhe.

Wang Zhen also called at this time.

"Jiang Zhe, can you come to the capital on Saturday and Sunday next week? We have arranged some promotional activities."

Jiang Zhe asked: "What do you need me to do?"

“The Biennale opened on September 9, and there were many activities in the early stages. After the special guest list was announced, many people were discussing it.

You go to the planning committee first to show your face, and then we will have publicity, mainly media interviews. But..." Wang Zhen hesitated when he said this.

"what happened?"

"This interview was arranged by us, Times Auctions, and Christie's..." Wang Zhen told Jiang Zhe about some of the publicity arrangements.

Several companies wanted to take this opportunity to hype up the painters they worked for. Wang Zhen also arranged for Jiang Zhe to be included in the publicity.

According to the plan, several painters will discuss their artistic views during the Biennale, and their views will be tit-for-tat to attract some people's attention.

This kind of debate and even contradictory hype method is very common in the art circle. People have been doing this for decades.

Wang Zhen said: "We have prepared everything you need to do and say. Just follow it when the time comes. I will send it to your email so you can familiarize yourself with it in advance."

"Okay." Jiang Zhe would not be hypocritical and oppose the hype.

After the call and lunch, he checked the information in his email.

Wang Zhen’s arrangements are very detailed. Although it is a script, it seems quite real at first glance.

Chen Yan came over and asked, "Going out next week?"

Jiang Zhe said, "We'll go to the capital next week."

"do what."

"Go to the bedroom and I'll tell you."

The rain has passed and the clouds have cleared...

Jiang Zhe was sitting in the study room, and could vaguely hear the sound of water running in the bathroom. He looked through the information sent by Wang Zhen.

Some of the artistic views arranged for him are very interesting, but only some of them are consistent with his real thoughts. Of course, some of the words in the script are very implicit, neither naming nor pointing out any particular work, but every sentence can make people associate.

When I was looking at the information, the system issued a prompt sound.

Jiang Zhe opened the system and saw the prompt content.

You are exposed to the opportunity rewards issued by the system. When faced with opportunities that do not completely meet your inner thoughts, you can make the following choices.

Follow the existing script, proceed step by step, and get the reward.

Follow your true thoughts. This choice may result in nothing, or it may bring more rewards.

Since entering the special invitation list, the system has not given any prompts. At this moment, the reward opportunity is finally clear, but there are new choices.

Considering the consequences, Jiang Zhe did not rush to make a choice. The system did not require him to choose immediately, but he still made a detailed understanding and weighed the pros and cons before making a decision.

Chen Yan came out of the bathroom with a headscarf wrapped around her.

"I'm fine, you go wash up quickly." Jiang Zhe did not rush to wash himself, but reached out and embraced Chen Yan.

Chen Yan hurriedly stopped him: "You are so annoying. I just finished washing, you should go and wash quickly." However, resistance was useless.

Jiang Zhe walked into the bathroom contentedly.

After dinner, Jiang Zhe drove Chen Yan home.

Before getting out of the car, Chen Yan patted Xiao Ka who was sitting in the car.

"You're going to send it back to your parents' house?"

"I'm not at home during the day, so I have to leave it with my parents to feel at ease."

Chen Yan patted Xiaoka: "I won't see you next week."

Xiao Ka didn't know what the two people were talking about.

"I'll be back soon." Jiang Zhe comforted Chen Yan.

Chen Yan got out of the car and watched Jiang Zhe drive away reluctantly.

In the following week, Jiang Zhe attended classes or took professional training in school during the day, and returned to his studio at night to perfect his creations. Although it was just a change, he always had to think over it repeatedly before he could start writing. Every change took a lot of time. Friday afternoon.

Jiang Zhe examined the sketch in front of him that he had spent six days drawing.

The shapes and movements of the characters in the painting have basically been presented.

He didn't want to create a painting full of pencil tones. This time, all the ink was used to express the key image, and try not to use ineffective ink.

According to the current creative progress, it is estimated that this painting can be completed in another six days of professional classes.

Jiang Zhe put away his paintings, packed up his tools, said goodbye to a few classmates, and prepared to leave early.

The professional course teacher is not in the studio today, so just say hello to the class monitor.

Fu Min, Mou Xing and others knew that he was going to the capital today, and they all cheered him up.

Watching Jiang Zhe leave with his bag, a classmate sighed: "When can we participate in it?"

Another person joked: "Aren't we participating in the selection? Registering counts as participating."

The person being teased said, "Do you think we can get through this school?"

Another person said: "I don't have such high requirements. I just want to go to our Binhai exhibition. If that doesn't work, I can participate in the on-campus exhibition organized by our school. I'm satisfied with that too."

Several other people also joined the discussion.

As classmates, they all have personal experience of Jiang Zhe's gradual development after entering college. When the distance becomes farther and farther, only envy remains. Of course, college students cannot feel the pressure of society for the time being and will find happiness on their own.

At the same time, because Jiang Zhe was included in the special invitation list, those who were influenced and stimulated have begun to prepare to give him a surprise.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Jiang Zhe arrived in the capital.

Wang Zhen came to the airport to pick him up.

"How do you feel after being included in the special invitation list? Have you experienced the joy of success?" Wang Zhen asked as they got in the car.

Jiang Zhe shook his head: "Don't mention it, many people came to visit, all kinds of social events..."

After the list was announced, he tried his best to turn down social engagements, but various things still came one after another, making him feel annoyed.

Wang Zhen smiled and said, "I've heard some people in the capital say that you're too aloof. Now that you've won an award and become famous, you don't hang out with your friends anymore."

Jiang Zhe said: "If I spend time receiving every person who comes to me, I probably won't even have time to sleep."

"The more famous you are, the more this kind of thing happens."

"What do I need to do?" Jiang Zhe asked about the business.

"Tomorrow morning, we will go to the Artists Association, which is the planning committee, to visit a few friends. We will arrange interviews tomorrow afternoon, and participate in a seminar the day after tomorrow." Wang Zhen said.

Even though it was a script, they tried to make it as natural as possible.

After giving some instructions, she said, "You should stay in the same hotel as last time for the next two days."

Jiang Zhe suddenly remembered something and asked, "You've been spending a lot of time in the capital recently. Where do you live? In the company?"

"I rent a house near my company. The rent here in the capital is really not cheap," said Wang Zhen.

Jiang Zhe had the idea of ​​buying a house again.

"Have you ever considered buying an apartment in the capital? I want to buy one. If you want one, please keep an eye out for me."

Wang Zhen looked at Jiang Zhe. "You want to buy a house here?"

Jiang Zhe said: "If you come to the capital often in the future, it will be more convenient to buy a house and live in it yourself."

Wang Zhen thought for a moment and said, "When I was renting a house, I found that the house price was quite high. If I buy a house, I will have to spend a lot of money."

Jiang Zhe said: "You can consider buying one. After all, this is the best place. Except for certain historical periods, the houses here are valuable.

I guess that from now until the Olympics, and even after the Olympics, housing prices in the capital will continue to rise.”

If it weren't for the experience of rebirth, it would be difficult for an ordinary citizen to judge that such great changes would occur in the future.

"Are you so optimistic about houses in the capital?" Wang Zhen became interested.

She thought of several investments Jiang Zhe had made, all of which seemed to have made a profit.

Jiang Zhe could only make excuses for himself: "I just think that as our country develops, housing prices in the capital will rise."

"What kind of house do you want to buy?" Wang Zhen asked.

"Good location, convenient living. If you have money, you can also buy a courtyard house." Jiang Zhezhen has no specific goal.

Wang Zhen said: "You can't buy a Siheyuan just because you want to. If you can buy one easily, it's probably a bit troublesome or very poor."

"Then consider a house in a good location, or a high-end property owned by a large group," said Jiang Zhe.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you, but you have to wait until after November 11th," said Wang Zhen.

"Not in a hurry."

The two chatted and came to the hotel.

Wang Zhen helped Jiang Zhe settle down and prepared to say goodbye: "You should rest early. I will pick you up early tomorrow morning. Let's go to the Artists Association first."

Jiang Zhe packed up, reported to his family that he was safe, and then called Sister Liao.

Sister Liao knew that he was coming to the capital and told him which people to visit.

On Saturday, Jiang Zhe got up early and went to the Artist Association with Wang Zhen.

When we walked into the building, we saw the staff here and they were obviously busier than before.

Coming here again, Jiang Zhe is no longer the invisible man he used to be.

Many staff members recognized Jiang Zhe and greeted him politely.
