Chapter 43 Nan Mochen

Xie Rouxi nodded desperately and said: "I am willing, grandpa, is it true? Can I come to Sister Yiyi to help? In fact, I have long wanted to find a part-time job in a gallery. I want to hear what customers think and see the real demand of the market. , it is also helpful for my own painting. Moreover, I will go back to Xishi in the second half of the year to continue studying. I am afraid that I will not have so much time in the future and will spend all my time on painting!"

"That's good, of course what grandpa said is true, as long as Boss Zhao is willing to hire you. By the way, Boss Zhao Xixi has no experience in working for the first time, but the salary cannot be less!" Xie Kangnian said with a smile.

Zhao Yiyi agreed: "Mr. Xie, you are making fun of me. If Xixi can come and help, I'm so grateful for it, and the salary will definitely not be less. What other instructions does Mr. Xie have, can I write them down?"

"Grandpa must fully support whatever Xixi wants to do. There is one thing. Acheng must pick you up when you go to and from get off work every day! If you want to go somewhere, you must tell grandpa first. People outside are complicated. And you - one by one I know a lot of people, but Xixi is a naive kid, so I need to give him some advice!"

"I know, Mr. Xie! Xixi is here with me, don't worry, I will take good care of her!"

After a few words, Xie Rouxi got her first part-time job in Xiangdao, and she officially started her journey of working at Yiyi Gallery.But what she didn't expect was that it was this decision that made Xie Rouxi meet the most important person in her life, Nan Mochen.

On a sunny and breezy afternoon, there were no customers in Yiyi Gallery, so Xie Rouxi set up an easel and continued painting quietly.Suddenly, there were several gentle knocks on the floor-to-ceiling window next to her, interrupting her concentration on creation.

Xie Rouxi looked up and saw several college-looking boys standing outside the glass window. A boy in a white shirt in the middle was lowering his head and was being pushed and joking by others.From the looks of it, the boy must have been staring at Xie Rouxi who was painting for a long time, but he was noticed by his companions around him.

Xie Rouxi smiled slightly and was about to lower her head and continue drawing when she saw the boy in the middle raise his head.

In an instant, he attracted all of Xie Rouxi's attention. His face was really long, with short black hair and clear eyes. His whole person was filled with an air of bookishness that could not be concealed. He was considered outstanding among a group of boys, attracting attention. It's natural for her to attract attention.

Seeing that Xie Rouxi was a little dazed, the boy smiled shyly at her. Their eyes met with lightning, and the world seemed to be quiet at this moment.If the playfulness of other boys hadn't interrupted the two's mutual gaze, Xie Rouxi would not have noticed her abnormality. This boy seemed to have a natural attraction to her.

Soon, the people around the boy surrounded him and left the floor-to-ceiling window. Xie Rouxi suddenly felt a little empty and disappointed in her heart. She pretended to be calm and continued painting, but found that she could not concentrate her thoughts.The boy's face and eyes seemed to be welded in her mind, and she suddenly wanted to see him again.

At this time, the sound of "ding dong!" came from the door of Yiyi Gallery. The boys who were pushing and shoving outside just now poured in. The last person who walked in was naturally the one who looked at Xie Rouxi. boy.

"Hello, are you the boss?" A fat boy smiled and asked the boss Zhao Yiyi who was setting up the exhibition at the door.

Zhao Yiyi glanced at the boy and said politely: "Well, I am, what can I do for you? Do you want to go in and look at the paintings?"

"Oh, hello boss, we want to buy a painting. That girl, is she your employee? Or a full-time painter here? Are her paintings also for sale?" The fat boy pointed to Xie in front of the large French window behind Zhao Yiyi. Rouxi said.

As soon as the fat boy finished speaking, and before Zhao Yi could answer, several other boys laughed in unison, and they even pushed the boy who entered the door last.He glanced at Xie Rouxi who was not far behind her. The sunlight shone on her black hair, making her face even more radiant and radiant as snow. Her eyebrows were astonishingly beautiful beyond her age.Then, the proprietress Zhao Yi understood instantly that these boys were also here for her.

A few days ago, there were quite a few people who saw Xie Rouxi painting in the gallery and kept coming over to chat with her, so she deliberately placed Xie Rouxi's easel in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window in the farthest corner of the gallery. .Logically speaking, that location is blocked by the tea restaurant opposite, so it is difficult to see from the road outside. I don’t know how these boys found Xie Rouxi.

Sure enough, Xie Rouxi's good looks coupled with her talented drawing board are the best sign of a gallery.However, she is Xie Rouxi. The Xie family does not need her to make money by brushing their faces, and Zhao Yiyi does not dare to take advantage of her.The behavior of several boys was so obvious that they wanted to get close to Xie Rouxi. She couldn't let Xie Kangnian worry.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yiyi thought about saying to the boy: "Oh, she is my sister. You should be college students visiting Xiang Island, right?"

"Yes, boss, we are here for an academic conference. This is our first time in a gallery." said the fat boy

"Since this is your first time to come to the gallery in Xiangdao, let me introduce the paintings here to you personally. However, I need to state first that the paintings in the gallery are not cheap. The prices are not suitable for college students. You also You can compare." Zhao Yiyi said with a smile, trying to be as tactful as possible.

The fat boy heard the boss's rejection and asked reluctantly: "What about her? Can your sister introduce it to us? She shouldn't be a big painter, right? Maybe we can afford her paintings. Can we talk to her? ?”

"Hahaha, you really can't afford her paintings, and she doesn't have time, so I think it's better to forget it!" Zhao Yiyi simply refused.

"Why can't you afford it? How expensive can it be?" a boy asked.

"You guys go over there and wait for me!"

Faced with the boss's merciless rejection, the boy who looked at Xie Rouxi pushed away the others and walked directly to the boss Zhao Yiyi.

He said politely: "Hello boss, my name is Nan Mochen. We don't know much about the prices of works in the gallery. We were just rude. I just think her paintings are very beautiful, and I think she should know how to paint. I want to talk to her about painting, is that okay?”

"Talk about painting?" Zhao Yiyi raised his eyebrows and asked questioningly.

Nan Mochen took out a student ID card, handed it to Zhao Yiyi and said, "I am a doctor from Western University. I am developing a life app. Her painting skills are helpful to the software. I want to ask you some questions." .You can see it?"

"Your name is Nan Mochen? This surname is quite rare, but you're also a doctor from Western University? Then you are pretty awesome. You are so young and can get a doctorate from Western University!" Zhao Yiyi rolled his eyes at his students and testified.
