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

Liang Gui is 52 years old this year. He is successful in his career. Since he met Li Lu, he feels that he has met the best helper and confidant. Therefore, he has been very successful in the past few years.

He knew that Li Lu was ambitious and that she was also optimistic about her own value, but so what? As long as he felt comfortable, that was enough.

However, things have not been going smoothly since the end of last year. After hearing that a young painter from the same province had his works collected by the Repin Academy of Fine Arts, he became interested and started to work on this with the help of Li Lu.

Unfortunately, for some reason, he didn’t receive any response after several attempts to contact her. The most recent time, he was directly rejected, which made him very embarrassed and he got angry several times.

Today, Liang Gui came to the art museum and saw the teachers and students of Binhai Art Academy at the first place, and even more so Jiang Zhe.

When I saw Jiang Zhe, I thought of the things that made me lose face, and also some recent rumors.

Some of their peers whose works are priced similarly to their own are all seeking breakthroughs. They are all trying to get their works collected by art or cultural institutions, but unfortunately some succeed while others fail. Many people are beginning to discuss whether these painters are becoming obsolete.

Although Liang Gui knew that he shouldn't care about these words, he still felt uncomfortable when he thought about them. These people were blind.

So, when taking the photo, he didn't respond to Jiang Zhe's smile. Just now, he tried to pretend he was unfamiliar with Jiang Zhe when he walked to the opposite side.

However, this Li Lu actually took the initiative to greet people.

What is there for me to communicate with this young man?

While Liang Gui was complaining in his heart, he extended his hand to Jiang Zhe. His many years of experience in the circle made him habitually smile and take the initiative to shake hands with Jiang Zhe.

It only took a short time from stopping to shaking hands, and Liang Gui had tried very hard to control his expression.

"Mr. Liang, I saw your masterpiece as soon as I arrived. I was shocked."

"I don't deserve it. Your work is the most eye-catching among them." The two people greeted each other in a fake manner.

Jiang Zhe noticed that the two people opposite him were out of sync at that moment, and he could also feel that Liang Gui did not want to communicate with him.

This kind of small talk made him feel uncomfortable. He wanted it to end quickly.

Just as he was about to find an excuse to leave, he heard Li Lu say, "Two of Mr. Liang's works were recently sold at Shengjia Auction. Mr. Jiang, do you have any works up for auction recently? We can help promote them."

When Jiang Zhe heard the other party showing off, he said, "Two of our works will be auctioned."

He didn't want to say more, but the other party took the opportunity to continue, "Which auction house sells your works? I remember that you often cooperated with Times Auctions in the past.

Now that we know each other, let’s help each other.”

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

"How much did your work sell for at Times Auction?" As Li Lu spoke, she looked at Liang Gui next to her, motioning for him to join in the conversation.

Liang Gui was annoyed with Jiang Zhe. Li Lu and Jiang Zhe talked a few more words, which reminded him of what Li Lu once said: although she wanted to suppress this rising star, she still had to maintain a good relationship on the surface.

He misunderstood the words that Li Lu handed over and had wrong thoughts.

Liang Gui said: "I remember it was 62?" Although he used a questioning tone, he actually remembered it very clearly.

Jiang Zhe secretly complained, why do you remember it clearly? You must have thought about it a lot in secret.

"Yes, 62." Jiang Zhe added to confirm.

"Among young painters in the province, this should be the highest, and there is still a lot of room for improvement." Liang Gui said with a smile: "In the auction that just ended, one of my works was sold for 71 yuan. This is roughly the average price. Have you seen this work?"

He deliberately mentioned the price and regained his balance psychologically. Your work is collected by the Repin Academy of Fine Arts, but my work is sold at a higher price than yours. Jiang Zhe understood what he meant.

Li Lu felt that this statement was too deliberate, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Teacher Liang likes to communicate with young people, and also cares about the growth of young painters."

"I haven't seen Teacher Liang's work." Jiang Zhe responded coldly.

Liang Gui said: "We have different painting styles. I think it would be too conservative to continue with the realistic style at this time. You are still young and need to learn more. At my age, I am still studying expressionism."

Jiang Zhe no longer wanted to be perfunctory: "Teacher Liang is willing to accept new things, which means you still have room for improvement."

He sent this back.

Liang Gui's expression was stiff: "Although the price of your works is not bad for young people, it is still far behind that of old painters. You should be more humble."

Jiang Zhe said, "Yes. Be more modest. When the prices of the spring auction come out, I will compare the differences carefully. Study hard."

When he said this, his tone was gentle, but he no longer concealed his true intentions, "I will soon surpass you."

"So you are very confident about this auction. I wonder how much the auction house estimates your work will be worth?" Liang Gui asked.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"The estimated price from the two auction houses could exceed 70." Wang Zhen's voice came over, and he spoke as he walked to Jiang Zhe's side.

Not only that, she also pulled Lan Xin over.

She was originally chatting with Lan Xin and some colleagues when she accidentally saw Jiang Zhe talking to Liang Gui and Li Lu.

Wang Zhen knew about Li Lu's situation, and some rumors in the provincial capital's circles also reached her ears.

She instinctively became alert, and when she walked over, she happened to hear their conversation and immediately helped.

After Li Lu greeted Wang Zhen, Liang Gui said, "Mr. Wang, estimates are not necessarily accurate. Many of my works were auctioned together but failed to sell, and some were sold at prices far below expectations. The changes in the market are a good reflection of the clients' recognition of the painter."

"That's right. Mr. Li and I pay close attention to the market's reaction. Recently, Christie's Auction Company has been urging Jiang Zhe to create more works.

However, Jiang Zhe always demands perfection and refuses to bring out any problems. I have to deal with both sides, which is really a headache. "She complained openly, but in fact she was being Versailles.

Liang Gui asked, "It seems that Mr. Wang and Xiao Jiang are very confident. When the results come out, remember to let me know so that I can also share in the joy."

Jiang Zhe said: "Tomorrow, we will know the result tomorrow."

"I'm looking forward to good news." Liang Gui smiled happily.

Li Lu and Wang Zhen didn't want to continue talking, so they each made excuses and pulled their people away.

Not long after they walked, Liang Gui said to Li Lu, "Pay attention to the news about the Times Auction tonight.

Times Auction has no future. The price of Jiang Zhe's works cannot be raised in a short period of time. As long as the auction price of his works is lower than mine, we will help him promote them. "

Li Lu was a little worried: "His works will also be auctioned at Christie's. With Christie's helping him, the price shouldn't be too low."

"To Americans, he is an outsider." Liang Gui was very sure: "Tomorrow, I want to see if he still has this arrogance."
