Chapter 80(1/2)

On the second day of the art exhibition, Xia Xiaomu went to the Century Shopping Mall early to ask the visitors yesterday about Xia Qianbai's works. When they entered the hall, they saw that there were a few more Xia Qianbai's publicity newspapers, posted in a very conspicuous location.

He was delighted and hurriedly took the elevator to the service department of the exhibition center on the 58th floor. He asked the staff. Sure enough, Xia Qianbai's works reacted enthusiastically yesterday, and seven works had participated in the auction.

Many guests also came to ask who Xia Qianbai was, including two very famous oil painting merchants.

Therefore, the people of the association also attached more importance to Xia Qianbai's works. Not only did they strengthen the publicity efforts, but they also ranked Xia Qianbai's personal profile and work introduction on the webpage in a more eye-catching position.

Very good!

Xia Xiaomu looked at him in surprise. The staff showed him the auction status chart, seven works, and the tallest one had been sold for 60,000 yuan.

The other works also range from about 30,000 yuan.

A circle of painters like Xia Qianbai, who is unknown to anyone, can get such a response on the first day, which is beyond Xia Xiaomu's expectations.

After all, the next two days will be weekends, and more visitors will be welcomed.

He immediately sent the good news to Xia Qianbai, and also took photos of seven auctioned works and the auction price, and sent them.

Zhou Tingsheng, who ranked first in the auction status table.

This person once called on Xia Xiaomu as his disciple during the Qingjun Cup, so Xia Xiaomu looked over curiously.

His work "Oasis" has been sold at 600,000 yuan, and is the most expensive work among all the exhibition works participating in the auction.

The works displayed by Xie Yu and Xie Wen are to increase the popularity of this art exhibition and attract more visitors. They are friendly exhibitions and do not participate in auctions.

Therefore, in this art exhibition, Zhou Tingsheng's works became the most popular work of art dealers and collectors.

Xia Xiaomu sighed: "I am really a master. I must watch the works of Teacher next week in a while."

Just so happened that Zhang Heran came in, heard Xia Xiaomu's words, and said to him: "Mr. Xiaoxia, you are one step late. Teacher Zhou's painting has just been removed. Teacher Zhou will not sell this "Oasis"."

"Not selling anymore? Why?"

Zhang Heran shook his head and said regretfully: "Say yes, a friend likes me, and I'm going to give it to my friend directly."

He smiled and said, "I really want to congratulate Mr. Xiao Xia. Your father's works were very popular yesterday. I believe that in the past two days, your father's value will be determined in the artistic world."

The quality of a work determines the value of a painter, and the value also affects the price of the work.

The better the work, the higher the value.

The higher the value of the work, the higher the value of the work will be.

If Xia Qianbai's works are sold for about 60,000 yuan in three days, the same size will not be lower than 60,000 yuan in the future.

At present, more than one piece can be sold, and the price is more than 60,000 yuan.

Xia Xiaomu's heart was full of accomplishment and joy: finally, pure artists like Xia Qianbai were no longer covered in dust and gradually appeared in the world.

After Xia Qianbai received Xia Xiaomu's message, he quickly called him back: "Xiaomu, is the auctioned "Running Girl" the one in the rapeseed field?"

Xia Qianbai's works were all named by Xia Xiaomu, and he said little by little, "What's wrong?"

Xia Qianbai was slightly distressed: "...I don't know, you brought that painting with you, can you not sell that painting?"

Xia Xiaomu was stunned and then agreed: "Of course, I can, I'll ask someone to remove it immediately."

Among Xia Qianbai's works, there are basically works of nature impression factions such as mountains, rivers, pastoral scenery, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and snow. Few characters appear.

Only a girl running in the rapeseed field appeared in that painting, so that painting should have a special significance to Xia Qianbai.

Xia Xiaomu hung up the phone and quickly told Zhang Heran about this.

Zhang Heran: "Oh, why are the two paintings going to be removed early this morning? I have to report to the above. I also have to communicate with the auctioneer to apologize."

Xia Xiaomu: "I'm sorry, it's the trouble that caused me. You give me the bidder's phone number and I apologize in person."

Zhang Heran was also stunned when he found out the bidder's information.

---Xie Wen.

How could a master like Xie Wen buy Xia Qianbai’s works?!

While Xia Xiaomu was surprised, she also became worried. It doesn’t matter who bought it, but it was Professor Xie.

Professor Xie not only guided him to paint, but also recommended him to also visit this exhibition.

And if she hadn't brought the old man to see Xia Qianbai's works yesterday and let the old man know the value of Xia Qianbai's works, the exhibition would not have been going on.

Xia Xiaomu was very grateful for Xie Wen helped him so much. She also thought that after the exhibition, she would like to express her gratitude.

But I really didn't expect Xie Wen would like Xia Qianbai's paintings and even participated in the auction. Why did he tell her that this painting would not be sold?

Zhang Heran also advised him: "Or, call your father to communicate."

Xia Xiaomu hesitated for a while, and finally called Xia Qianbai to tell the situation.

Xia Qianbai hesitated on the other end for a while:

"That's to thank your teacher, let's do it. Ask her what style she likes, and I can draw another better one for her. But the rapeseed field... Dad really can't sell it."

It seems that this painting is really of great significance, but if Xia Qianbai wants to draw another painting for Xie Wen, Xie Wen will have more explanations.

Xia Xiaomu: "Then I'll go and communicate with Professor Xie, I think she should be able to understand..."

"What did you say her last name?"

Xia Qianbai suddenly interrupted him and asked anxiously.

"Her surname is Xie, and her name is Xie Wen. She is a very powerful painter. Oh, by the way, Professor Xie said she knows you, do you know her?"

With a "bang",

A loud noise came from the other end of the phone, which made Xia Xiaomu frown and hurriedly left her phone to her ear.

He quickly opened his ears to ask, "Dad, are you okay?"

"...No, it's okay, my phone fell to the ground."

Xia Qianbai's voice also became very anxious: "Xiao Mu, don't sell that painting, just give it to her, and give it to your Teacher Xie."

The attitude was so reversal that Xia Xiaomu nodded in confusion: "...Okay."

Xia Xiaomu is someone whom Mr. Lu needs special care, and Xie Wen is a celebrity invited by the association to help.

Xia Xiaomu wants to give the works on display to Xie Wen directly, so the association will naturally not cause trouble.

After Zhang Heran communicated with the above on a phone call, he asked someone to remove the painting and hand it over to Xia Xiaomu.

It happened that Xie Wen came here today, so Xia Xiaomu went to the lounge to find her to send her a painting.

When she entered, Xie Wen was chatting with a man, and Xia Xiaomu knew him. It was Zhou Tingsheng.

Xie Wen signaled Xia Xiaomu to sit down first, and continued to smile and talk to Zhou Tingsheng: "I feel that this work by Teacher Zhou is different from your previous style. When did Teacher Zhou paint it?"

Zhou Tingsheng laughed awkwardly: "Professor Xie, you are still paying attention to my works. It's a great honor for Zhou, but that painting will not be sold anymore. I'm here today to take it back.

"Why don't you sell it? Someone has bought it at such a high price. What a pity."

Zhou Tingsheng: "What a pity? It's incomparable to Professor Xie's works, and Professor Xie is so interested."

Xie Wen smiled: "I really like the style of "Oasis", and this painting is very different from Teacher Zhou's previous style. I'm curious why Mr. Zhou's style changed so much."

Zhou Tingsheng: "I painted it when I was young, about 10 years ago. Compared with now, it is a bit awkward, which makes you laugh at Professor Xie."

Xie Wen: "Ten years ago, but I think your painting is unique and is not inferior to Teacher Zhou's current works."

Xie Wen wanted to ask, but Zhou Tingsheng obviously didn't want to continue on this topic. He found an excuse and left in a hurry.

After Xia Xiaomu and Xie Wen were left in the lounge, Xia Xiaomu held the painting in her hand and handed it to Xie Wen:

"Professor Xie, my father just knew you were going to buy his painting and told me to give it to you. He also asked me to thank you for your care for me during this period of time. I hope you will accept it.

Xie Wen's smile froze slightly. She did not refuse. She took the picture frame and stood on the table with one hand on it: "Does your father... also sell paintings often?"

Xia Xiaomu nodded embarrassedly:

"It's also for life, but he doesn't know the value of his paintings at all. He sells them as much as others pay. Over the years, I don't know how much he has sold them."

Xie Wen sighed and said, "It's a pity that he won't sell it like this again in the future."

Xia Xiaomu: "I know that in the future, I will try my best to sell his works through art exhibitions."

Xie Wen looked at him and asked, "Are you... going to move here?"

"Yes, it's tomorrow." Xia Xiaomu explained to Xie Wen with a smile:

"But my dad basically stays at home every day. If you meet him near home and he doesn't say hello or say hello to you, please don't mind, he didn't mean it. My dad...he has social phobia."

"What did you say?!"

Xie Wen asked in surprise.

Her brows frowned, as if she had thought of something, her face gradually turned pale, and her voice trembled slightly: "He, when did he have this disease?"

Xia Xiaomu was surprised by her reaction.

He explained seriously: "I don't know either. I probably had it when I was young. I had his diagnosis 20 years ago at home..."

After leaving the lounge, Xia Xiaomu was full of suspicion.

When Xie Wen heard that Xia Qianbai had a mental illness, her expression became very sad and she was about to cry.
