Chapter 45 Is she your girlfriend?

Looking at the painting his daughter was pointing to, Mr. Qin's lips twitched involuntarily. "Yanyan, have you been under too much pressure lately?"

What are these drawings? They're enough to give me the creeps.

Upon hearing their words, Qin Yan realized that what she was pointing to was actually a Cthulhu painting full of madness.

She could only bite the bullet and say, "It's not that I like the painting; I mean, I used to like the artist quite a bit, but I never expected her to paint these kinds of things."

After making up a flimsy excuse for herself, Qin Yan quickly led her parents in the opposite direction, while sending a message to Lin Qingsong on the way: "Old Lin, I think I just saw you. Did you come to the art exhibition by yourself?"

She had no right to question Lin Qingsong, so she could only ask him in this roundabout way.

Lin Qingsong, who was about to reach Anxiao's booth, was stunned when he saw the message Qin Yan sent on his phone.

So the person I just saw was Qin Yan. He said she looked so familiar.

"I came with a friend. Where are you? Want to go for a walk together?" After replying, Lin Qingsong continued walking with Shen Xingyu.

After turning a corner, the two arrived at An Xiao's booth.

"Is this your goal?" Shen Xingyu looked at the painting "Golden Rose" hanging on the wall and nodded approvingly, "It is indeed quite inspired."

However, looking at the empty space around her, she shook her head helplessly and said, "It seems that even at an exhibition of emerging artists, people prefer to pay attention to those painters who are already somewhat famous. In my opinion, this painter named An Xiao's brushwork is no worse than those famous painters!"

"That's good too, I don't have to compete with others." Lin Qingsong smiled as he walked up to "Golden Rose," and seeing the contact information on the plaque next to it, he took out his phone and made the call.

Most art exhibitions usually include contact information next to the artworks. Of course, this contact information is unlikely to be from the artist themselves; it could be from the artist's agent or the exhibition organizer.

After the call was connected, Lin Qingsong briefly described his needs, and the other party immediately said that he was nearby and would come over right away.

"Qingsong, this painter is quite interesting. Besides the gold rose, he also has silver roses and iron roses. He's created a whole rose series." Shen Xingyu said with a smile as she looked at the other paintings.

"Isn't this great?" Lin Qingsong said with a slightly hearty tone, "Since he painted a series of roses, I'll buy the whole series!"

"Oh?" Shen Xingyu said with a hint of surprise, "Qingsong, you think highly of this painter?"

“That’s right!” Lin Qingsong nodded and said, “When An Xiao’s agent arrives later, I’m going to ask if we can pack up all of An Xiao’s paintings and take them with us.”

He glanced at the paintings and saw that there were only five in total. The most valuable one was definitely "The Golden Rose," which was worth five thousand yuan.

Therefore, the total value of the five paintings would not exceed 20,000 yuan.

"Sir, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!" Just then, a woman wearing a short suit jacket, a yellow tank top underneath, and brown trousers walked over from a distance, wearing black pointed high heels.

After she finished speaking, she introduced herself: "Sir, I am Si Ruoxuan, a senior agent of Nahai Gallery, and also An Xiao's agent. May I ask your surname?"

"Lin Qingsong".

"Hello Mr. Lin, may I ask which of An Xiao's paintings you wish to purchase?" Si Ruoxuan asked politely.

"All."

Si Ruoxuan, who had been smiling, was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. However, she quickly recovered, as such incidents, though rare, had occurred a few times in her two or three years of professional career.

“Mr. Lin, although An Xiao is not well-known in the art world, his skills are solid and his brushstrokes are moving, so the price of a painting will not be particularly cheap.”

Lin Qingsong nodded slightly: "I know, so how much do all these paintings cost in total?"

"Twenty thousand."

It must be said that most of the system's intelligence was accurate, and the price quoted by Si Ruoxuan did not exceed Lin Qingsong's estimate.

"Okay, where do we sign the contract?"

Si Ruoxuan gestured to those behind her, saying, "Mr. Lin, please come with me. Also, I hope you can understand that these paintings can only be taken down and transported to your designated location after the exhibition ends."

"No problem." After agreeing, Lin Qingsong turned to Shen Xingyu beside him and asked, "Sister Yu, do you want to come along? Or do you want to wander around by yourself first?"

"Let's go together," Shen Xingyu said nonchalantly. "This shouldn't take too long, right?"

"No, it won't happen." Si Ruoxuan said with a smile, "We are using the standard contract provided by the art exhibition, and the exhibition also provides free legal counsel, so we will be able to sign the contract very quickly."

When Lin Qingsong arrived at the dedicated signing room, he found that the efficiency here was indeed very high. From the time he paid the money to the time he signed the contract, it only took about ten minutes.

As Si Ruoxuan left the signing room, she glanced at Shen Xingyu and then smiled at Lin Qingsong, saying:
"Mr. Lin, would it be convenient for me to add you on WeChat? You can contact me if you have any follow-up needs. Also, if An Xiao has any new works, I will send them to you in advance."

"Of course!" After adding the MSI, he suddenly heard Qin Yan and her parents' voices coming from ahead.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Yan's figure appeared before him.

The moment Qin Yan saw Lin Qingsong, she was completely stunned.

She wanted to avoid Lin Qingsong in the signing room when she bought the painting, but he was everywhere!

Seeing Qin Yan's stunned expression, Lin Qingsong couldn't help but laugh.

Although being a joker is not good.

But the reason he wanted to pretend to be Qin Yan's boyfriend was simply to see Qin Yan's icy face show a different expression.

"Mom and Dad, I remember now! Another painting I just looked at seems pretty good too. Why don't you come with me to take another look?" Qin Yan said, looking at her parents who were trying their best to stop them from coming over.

Lin Qingsong decided to act like a human being and said to Shen Xingyu, who was standing next to him, "Sister Yu, let's go back to the signing room for a while."

Shen Xingyu was quite clever. Looking at Qin Yan in front of her, she immediately made a guess, but she didn't say anything. She just followed her back to the signing room.

Si Ruoxuan was a little confused, not knowing what had happened, and could only quickly follow Lin Qingsong back.

Lin Qingsong had only been sitting down for a few minutes when he heard a series of slightly hurried footsteps outside the door.

Qin Yan stood at the door, calming herself down a bit before pushing it open and asking Lin Qingsong, "Old Lin, is this your girlfriend?"
