Chapter 20: Take away the golden finger bamboo horse 20 [three in one] (1/2)
Huo Wei wants to hold a painting exhibition, the gimmick is already sufficient, and Lou Xiao is hosting it for her. The invited people range from business tycoons to rich second-generation artists to the media, covering all the groups he usually comes into contact with. There are rows of noodles.
Lou Xiao did not consider the rate of return on investment at all. All aspects of the exhibition were carefully arranged by the most professional people. In addition to Huo Wei's ten paintings, he also contributed his collection of famous paintings, which directly increased the appreciation of the exhibition. And invited several well-known contemporary artists to the exhibition with their works.
Therefore, although most people do not trust Huo Wei's level, they also feel that watching this exhibition is a kind of artistic enjoyment and come with anticipation. There are also many important figures in the business world. Seeing Lou Xiao's face, the gold content of this art exhibition immediately rises to the top level, and the invitation becomes hard to find!
Huo Wei's sprained ankle has been completely healed. She was surrounded by the team of stylist invited by Cui Jing early in the morning, dressed extremely elegantly, without losing the youth and vigor of this age.
A lot of Cui Jing's wife and friends came, and they all praised her when they saw Huo Wei. Before, they were still pitying Huo Wei in their hearts, thinking they would see a girl who was a little frustrated or a little rebellious.
Huo Wei is beautiful, generous, sweet-mouthed, loves to laugh, and very caring. Who doesn't want such a good daughter? Especially the intimacy of Huo Wei and Cui Jing holding hands, really makes the eyes of all mothers go bad!
Those with daughters at home suddenly felt that people are more to be thrown away than others, and those with sons in the family wished that they were born with a caring little quilted jacket, and some people started to be in-laws with the Huo family, and asked Cui Jing about Huo Wei’s plans after graduation. Does Huo Wei have a boyfriend?
Seeing that the situation is not good, Huo Wei hurried away. Immediately afterwards, Lou Xiao took him to meet several directors of Yunxiao Group. They already knew that Huo Wei would become the head of the company’s R&D department, and also knew her ability. When facing Huo Wei, she was very kind, leaving others ignorant. People are very confused.
Especially the second and third generations who used to play with Huo Wei, at this moment, they can't rank up to talk to Huo Wei, and they can't help but look at each other in doubt. Isn't Huo Wei just drawing and playing? Why did you chat so vigorously with the directors of Yunxiao Group? what's the topic?
It felt like he hadn't seen him for a while, and Huo Wei suddenly moved further and further away from them.
The opening ceremony of the painting exhibition has almost become a ”communication meeting” for the upper-class circles in City B. This alone makes these big brothers, wives, and second generations a worthwhile trip, and they have a lot of patience and expectations for the exhibition.
Huo Wei also sent invitation letters to Huo Tingwei and Huo Ming. The two of them came very late. When they entered the venue, the opening ceremony was about to begin. The invitation letter can bring companions. I don't know what Zhao Sijia thought, but he also followed.
Huo Wei only glanced at them, without saying hello in the past, and then went on stage with Lou Xiao to start the opening ceremony.
Previews of all the paintings of this exhibition are shown on the big screen. Everyone present knows her recent experience. When listening to her explain the psychological process of creation, they are more serious. Everyone has a picture book in his hand, which not only contains every painting to be exhibited, but also the story behind each painting.
Huo Tingwei's mouth was pressed into a straight line, suppressing his anger. From the moment he entered the court, Huo Wei refused to give him a face in public. As her father, she didn't even say hello, so that all the colleagues were full of jokes.
At this time, she explained her psychological journey on stage again, seeming to be talking about painting, but in fact she was alluding to her disappointment with him and Huo Ming. Even if he did not look around, he could feel that there were many people. Watching him.
He wanted to conceal his emotions by browsing the album, so as not to be photographed by the media. Who knows that when he saw the story of the painting in the album, his face immediately sank!
Huo Wei’s series of paintings were initially a sunny graduation trip, then a dull and unpleasant journey, followed by the anger of being wronged, the shock of being left behind, the fear of injury and pain, the despair of asking for help, and, Lucky to finally survived.
Those paragraphs of text were printed on the album, as if they were printed on Huo Tingwei's face, giving him a strong sense of shame. Does Huo Wei know what she is doing? After turning over the things that were so difficult to uncover, and describing them in such detail, they pointed the finger at Huo Ming. Do you think outsiders didn't read the jokes enough?
Huo Tingwei is not so ashamed of all the parties involved. Huo Ming, the culprit who left Huo Wei, is even more embarrassed. The eyes of others on him gave him the urge to seize the door for the first time in his life. He raised his head and looked straight at Huo Wei on the stage, with anger in his eyes.
Huo Wei was upset, and he had to bear with him. But Huo Weiqian shouldn't be absolutely wrong, shouldn't step on his face on such an occasion! He is the heir of the Huo family and represents the face of the entire Huo family. Does she understand what she is doing? Obviously they are the same year, why is Huo Wei always so headstrong? !
Huo Wei met his gaze and raised her eyebrows slightly. Is the genius brother angry? This is just a warm-up, and you can't even stand this. Then when you enter the exhibition hall, you are afraid that you will turn your face with annoyance?
Thinking about it this way, I can't wait to see how he gaffes.
Huo Wei and Lou Xiao looked at each other and invited everyone into the exhibition hall. The first thing that catches the eye is not Huo Wei's paintings, but the paintings of several artists. Everyone spread out and looked for the pictures they were interested in according to the index on the album. Some people took a leisurely look at them one by one.
Zhao Sijia lowered her head and followed Huo Ming into the progress hall. After not walking very far, she suddenly heard several very low voices talking about her——
”That's her?”
”Yes, it's Zhao Sijia, I didn't expect her to come.”
”She still followed Huo Tingwei and Huo Ming, huh.”
Zhao Sijia heard the ridicule contained in the chuckle, her head dropped lower, and she squeezed her handbag hard, speeding up her steps away from the ridicule.
She couldn't help thinking of the overwhelming curses on the Internet in those few days, and her face became much paler. It obviously passed. She thought it was over. Why did Huo Wei mention it again? Still in this way!
From now on, she and the people in this circle can no longer get along well, they will despise her and taunt her. She regretted it, she shouldn't have come.
Zhao Sijia raised her head and found Lou Xiao after looking around.
Lou Xiao actually held an exhibition for Huo Wei, and it was such a large and high-end exhibition. She once asked Lou Xiao to show her the famous paintings in her home, but Lou Xiao refused without even thinking about it. Now, for Zhao Sijia, he actually took out all his famous paintings for exhibition!
What is Lou Xiao thinking? Isn't he the best to her? There is no woman beside him, and even the assistants are men. Only she is special. Why is it better to Huo Wei now than to her? Yu Hai also lied to her, saying that Lou Xiao and Huo Wei became confidants because of their paintings, so she didn't believe it! Huo Wei's paintings are far worse than hers. Lou Xiao really appreciates her paintings. Will she like Huo Wei's paintings?
Zhao Sijia's face was so ugly that even Huo Ming, who was angry, could see it. Huo Ming asked in a low voice, ”What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable?”
Zhao Sijia shook her head, looked around again, did not find Lou Xiao, but met a few mocking glances. She quickly lowered her head, bit her lip and whispered: ”Huo Ming, I'm a little uncomfortable, I want to go now.”
”Then I will ask the driver to see you off.” Huo Ming still needs Huo Wei to settle accounts, and doesn't want to leave for the time being. But when Zhao Sijia heard what he said, she couldn't help being disappointed, and she suddenly wondered if Huo Ming really liked her? Where is the attitude to the sweetheart?
She was about to nod and leave when she suddenly heard a noise in front of her. In other words, it's not a noise, just the rich second generation is talking, and there are more people talking, naturally the place seems very noisy. It was in the corner of the exhibition hall. Looking at the catalogue index, it happened to be the place where Huo Wei exhibited her paintings. She saw a girl who was covering her eyes!
Zhao Sijia's eyes flashed, and there must be something wrong with Huo Wei's painting. How could she miss such a rare opportunity to watch Huo Wei's jokes? Maybe she can find a chance to come back on the spot and let those people's impression of her be cleared up again.
She immediately pulled Huo Ming's sleeves and said, ”It seems that something has happened over there, let's go and take a look. After all, this is Huo Wei's first exhibition, so there can be no mistakes.”
”You are so sensible every time.” Huo Ming said, leading her to the side in strides.
Not only did they discover the anomaly over there, but also those who participated in the exhibition. However, they thought it was a group of children messing around, and although they were not happy with the noise in the exhibition, they did not rush over.
As soon as Huo Ming and Zhao Sijia approached, they heard a few words cursing them.
”Huo Ming is simply a bastard, so crazy, leaving you alone?”
”How did Zhao Sijia pull away the branches without paying attention to the back, she must be deliberate!”
Huo Ming looked at Huo Wei and saw Huo Wei's good friend hugging her and tears were falling, ”Huo Wei! Huo Wei! Fortunately, you are back alive! My God, I can't imagine you without seeing these paintings. How desperate! You came back and laughed so happily with my video. I always thought that what the media said was deliberate. I thought you were okay and I didn’t even go to see you! Fortunately, you are fine, and you will be fine in the future...”
There was a girl standing next to Zhao Sijia. When she saw her raising her hand, she pushed her, then grabbed her, dragged her to the wall to look at a painting, ”You still have a face? Tell me clearly. , What do you mean? Huo Wei is right behind you, and you slap her with a branch?? You are ashamed to say that you are innocent, I have never seen you such a shameless person!”
Huo Ming subconsciously stepped forward and pushed the girl's arm away to protect Zhao Sijia. As a result, his action was like a drop of water dripping into a pan, and it exploded instantly!
”Huo Ming, what are you doing? What's up with you when the girl talks?” The guy who played best with Huo Wei pulled Huo Ming away, pointed to the painting on the wall and said, ”It just so happens that you are here, with everyone Tell me what do you think? Weiwei is going to be killed for such a prankster woman?”
”Huo Ming, your brain is flooded, right? I know your brain is flooded, but I didn't expect your mind to be flooded! What's wrong with you so cruel to Weiwei? You don't want this sister to give it to us, We are willing to be her brother!”
”We are still willing to be her sister, Huo Ming, you are really cruel! Come and see, you look at Weiwei's paintings, I am uncomfortable as an outsider, she was so desperate at the time, didn't you feel it? Aren't you twins?” Huo Wei's best friend pushed Huo Ming to look at the painting on the wall, and her voice choked when she shouted at him.
Huo Ming saw the paintings on the wall clearly, and stayed in shock.
Huo Wei's first painting is full of flowers and plants in the mountains, the sun is warm, and it makes people feel like a relaxed outing in the wild, as if the sun is shining on the body, and can't help but smile.
But in the second picture, the color of the painting became darker. He remembered that it was cloudy and the wind on the mountain was also very strong. Both he and Zhao Sijia were dissatisfied with Huo Wei's decision to climb the mountain. Without a smile, Zhao Sijia also said that she had chosen to go fishing on the island, but unfortunately there was no time to go.
Huo Wei didn't say anything at the time, did her mood become so dull?
Huo Ming never understood the paintings. He didn't know why he could feel Huo Wei's dull emotions from this painting. He only knew that these paintings were the world in Huo Wei's eyes, the pictures she saw at that time. And her most real feelings at the time.
The third painting should be that they managed to reach the top, but they were very tired. Thinking of going down the mountain even more tired, they didn't even want to say anything. This painting clearly depicts the heights of the sky after reaching the summit, but it is unreasonably suppressed, like suppressing anger, and like suppressing boundless disappointment.
He remembered that Huo Wei hadn't said a word ever since he reached the top. He occasionally looked back and saw her, and she also lowered her head.
The fourth, fifth, sixth... one is more depressing than the other, with uncomfortable, sad, disappointing, and a lot of bad emotions, even Huo Ming feels uncomfortable seeing it.
And there is one in the back, which is the back of Zhao Sijia pulling branches in the rain forest. The back is very big, only above the shoulders, almost covering the entire canvas. That's because Huo Wei is so close to her, she can see the back of her head when she looks up close.
However, Zhao Sijia's hand fiddled with the branch was particularly abrupt, and that branch increased the color, inexplicably making people want to avoid immediately! Because standing in front of this painting, you will feel that Zhao Sijia is pushing away the branches, and that branch will be drawn in the next second!
The direction and degree of the bending of the branches, you can see how painful it will be when you are drawn. If you draw your eyes, your eyes may be blinded!
Huo Ming remembered that when he heard the voice turning back from the corner, he saw the two of them standing in this place, and then Huo Wei angrily pushed down Zhao Sijia. He angrily asked Huo Wei to apologize.
What does this picture mean? Huo Wei wants to say that Zhao Sijia deliberately smoked her, causing her to fall? Did she push Zhao Sijia out of anger?
He instinctively didn't believe it, frowned and said: ”This is impossible!”
Zhao Sijia finally recovered her voice, and said calmly: ”This painting is fake, I have never touched a branch.”
Huo Wei's best friend already hated her, so she stared at her and asked: ”Then how did Huo Wei get a concussion? Did she do it by herself? She is what Zhao Sijia is, worthy of Huo Wei wronging her? If you remember correctly, Huo Wei doesn't even recognize you, right? She doesn't recognize you anymore, and still cares about Zhao Sijia?”
A boy next to him also said: ”Huo Ming, a brain injury is a joke, and a brain injury can make people sick for a lifetime.”
Huo Ming stared at the painting, and countless questions popped up in his mind. Did Zhao Sijia really do this? If not, how could Huo Wei suffer such a serious injury? If Zhao Sijia did it, it was not an accident, because there was no need to conceal the accident, Zhao Sijia was still denying it just now.
Huo Ming looked at Zhao Sijia, Zhao Sijia did not dare to say: ”What are you doing? Do you believe her?”
”Nonsense! Huo Ming doesn't believe his sister, can you believe you? Isn't your virtue just the kind of innocent little white flower? It's... I really want to throw up!” Huo Wei's best friend turned swearing, and turned away without looking. she was.
Huo Ming looked at Zhao Sijia, but saw the last painting behind her. It was a picture of Huo Wei walking alone in the forest after he left. Only this one was not the world in her eyes, but a thin figure that stretched away and drew a piece of wood, as well as a thin figure leaning on branches with both hands to move hard.
The fragile figure that seems to fall at any time is Huo Wei. The whole painting is full of despair and deep sadness, as if she is trapped in this wood and can never go to the end. That kind of despair is an extremely strong despair that combines fear, helplessness, and disappointment, and Huo Ming's heart is awkward.
