Chapter 389 – One needs beverages to go with the melons! (2)
“It is the Ink Painting... Guru’s token gesture that we are talking about here. What does that have to do with learning poems and lyrics?”
Hearing that from the car, Gu Shishi wiped off her sweat.
The president was surely a wise man.
The very next second, Huang Chuan said very matter-of-factly, “As for my work, my specialty is lyrics and the lyrics fuse with the painting. If she could use any help in that area, naturally I will be the best person for that job.
Gu Shishi, “... ...”
Siyi, “... ... em, should we talk about the token gesture?”
Gu Shishi quickly nodded while holding her cellphone. “Yes, yes.”
She quickly explained her intention. As she was still inexperienced and didn’t know too many people, the managing of the art studio had a lot of room for improvements.
Unfortunately, she was just one person. Even if she was to become an instructor herself, she would only be able to carry very limited number of classes.
She blushed when she was talking.
It was very unreasonable for her to ask these elders for favors the very first time that she met them.
Lo and behold, a loud scolding came over from the other end of the cellphone.
“What a waste of talent! With your talent and being able to produce such amazing work at your young age and you are telling us that you are wasting your time on managing an art studio to enlighten others?”
“No way! That is such a waste of your time!!”
“What art studio is worth you wasting your talent like so? You can count on old folks like us who have not had any improvements in years to help you promote ink painting!”
“Exactly. We have been stuck at our bottlenecks for years. Which was why we are attending these exchanges and having disciples. Hoping that will somehow help us breakthrough. There is no reason for someone you age to do something like that!”
“Ai ai ai, let me know what kind of help you need and I will send my disciple there. He had been stuck the last few years on how to continue to improve himself, which was why I had him take on some students to revisit the basics.”
“Mmmhmm, I have a few disciples who had been teaching classes as well. I can have them go to your art studio. You have the address for us?”
Gu Shishi’s idea was very well received.
Siyi was an efficient one and immediately provided Manager Jie’s contact information to the elders.
They could reach out to him for compensation, etc.
Naturally nobody there could be bothered by earthly matters like that. All they did was snapped pictures of the contact information and promised that they would be sending people over.
Even Huang Chuan, the vice president of the General Association of Fine Art, voluntarily asked Siyi for his number. “I have many students including some who graduated a few years back. They have been creating at home but reality... can be difficult.”
Only very few individuals could make a living with art.
One would need timing, opportunity, and other human factors.
Among talent, luck, and network, many people only need an opportunity to become famed. Nevertheless, that opportunity never happened for most.
Siyi nodded.
“I shall bid my farewell now. We appreciate all the helps from you seniors.”
Before he actually took off, he hung up on his call with Gu Shishi.
And walked in front of her painting.
“Fellow seniors, my big boss would like to retrieve this painting.
“Nevertheless, he did not want to break the rule of the art association’s exchange so he will be donating 50 million yuan for the development of the art association as a trade for this painting.”
Huang Chuan’s mouth dropped open.
The others were taken aback as well.
“Big boss? Boss?”
“Em, how many bosses do you have?”
Siyi grinned and his white teeth could be seen. “Our big boss is ... the man in this painting that you have discussed passionately earlier. He is also the husband of our little boss.”
“... ... ... ...”
Why was it that the Ink Painting Guru was able to incorporate such harmony and passion in her painting at her young age?
Don’t even bother asking.
If one must ask, there was only one answer — “dog abuse”!
