Glass Butterfly

After dinner, they stopped in front of the revolving door of the hotel. Tang Tu was going to pick up the car from the underground garage, and Ruan Youqing wanted to say goodbye to him.

"I'll see you off." Tang Tu stopped him.

"No, it's too far away, and the subway is more convenient." Just after dinner, he naturally rejected Tang Tu's kindness. Unlike his half-skid shift, he could see that Tang Tu was really tired: " Bye-Bye."

Afraid that the other party would continue to shirk with him, he immediately turned around and ran all the way to the subway entrance. When he took out his card, he realized that he had actually put the blue eight-treasure candy in his pocket. Did he forget to ask why this thing was in the Tang Dynasty? on the desk.

Forget it, next time, anyway, we will meet soon.

Ruan Youqing's company is very small, and there is no human resources department, so he handed his resignation letter directly to the boss.The boss expressed regret, and didn't say anything to persuade him to stay. Ruan Youqing thanked him for taking care of him this year, packed up his things and went back.In fact, he has nothing. He didn’t buy a computer. He used an old computer from the company. He didn’t decorate the desk with cute decorations like other female colleagues. There were snacks and cute nap pillows in the drawer. There are only a few pens and a few sketchbooks in total, which are convenient for writing and drawing by hand.

He bid farewell to his unfamiliar colleagues, but fortunately, everyone didn't pretend to form a situation or anything, and just said a word of care and disappeared from each other's world.Before leaving, Ruan Youqing took a look at the designer next door who was doing private work. In fact, many people were taking private work, because this salary was not enough for them to gain a foothold in such a big city. He hoped that the boss would find out on Thursday. Give these young people who were originally full of ambition and drifting in a foreign land a year-end award, so that they can live a year with a little human touch.

- I resigned.

During the lunch break, he sent Tang Tu a message.

— Do you want to come over now?It happened that everyone was there.

Ten minutes later, a wide black Mercedes parked near his address.He had seen the driver before, and it was the one who rescued him when Cui Pinyue made trouble in front of the hotel.He opened the co-pilot's door and bowed to say hello. The car was filled with the scent of Tang Tu's usual perfume. The other party smiled at him, but did not start the car.

"Fasten your seat belt."

Ruan Youqing was taken aback by a mild voice from the back seat, and turned her head: "You're here too."

"Well, drop by." Tang Tu said, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Ruan Youqing nodded and pointed to a convenience store not far away: "Go in and eat buns while you are waiting."

Tang Tu glanced at the convenience store along his fingers, and told the driver: "Let's go, go back."

It was very warm in the car, they were stuck in front of traffic lights one after another, Ruan Youqing was slightly sweating, her ears were also a little hot, it was inconvenient to take off her coat.He somewhat regretted agreeing to them taking a detour to pick him up. The traffic conditions were not good at this time, and the subway was the most convenient choice.

"Why do you have Bluetooth on both sides?" The driver seemed bored waiting, so he chatted with him.

Ruan Youqing was about to tell him that it wasn't Bluetooth but a hearing aid, but Tang Tu took advantage of his hesitation and spoke first: "Zhang Wenbin, send a group message and tell them that we'll have a meeting first. Meet new colleagues."

"okay."

Ruan Youqing slowly closed her mouth and glanced at the rear seat from the rearview mirror. In the mirror was a pair of slightly closed eyes. Tang Tu was resting on the headrest. It was hard to tell whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate rescue for him.

"Boss." Xu Hanyi at the entrance of the gallery took Tang Tu's windbreaker and put it on his arm: "Brother Cheng is already waiting for you."

The gallery is still under construction, and the smell of fresh paint has not dissipated. Several fresh air fans are installed to purify the air diligently.Several workers were carefully moving the packaged oil paintings on canvas. It seemed that Noah's solo exhibition was almost ready.

Several people were waiting on the balcony in the deepest part of the gallery, and Ruan Youqing found that her painting style was a bit out of tune.Each of them is wearing formal attire. The two girls are wearing white shirts and color-blocked A-line skirts. They are decent and stylish. They seem to be girlfriends. The slightly mature man standing in the middle is similar to Tang Tu in simple dark colors. The three-piece suit looked more serious than Tang Tu.

"This is Ruan Youqing." Tang Tu introduced, "You should all know him."

"Yes, glass artist." The girl who had never met before answered, she didn't seem to be very afraid of her boss.

The mature man stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "I'm Cheng Mo, I heard Tang Tu mentioned you."

"This is the director of the gallery. He is mainly responsible for contacting collectors. He is responsible for introducing and selling the works of artists." Tang Tu continued to introduce the girls to him: "Xu Hanyi, you have met. This is Liu Yan, Gallery editor." After a few words of pleasantries, Tang Tu looked at the time and spread his hands in front of Xu Hanyi, and the other party would immediately put the IPAD on.

"There is also the driver just now, who is also an assistant, Zhang Wenbin, who is in charge of miscellaneous things. Just follow Xu Hanyi for these people, and you can do whatever she does." Tang Tu put away her smile and signaled for the end of the meeting: "Go get busy Go ahead. Get this week over."

The surrounding walls were painted a worsted gray with low saturation. The exhibition team was installing and adjusting the lighting according to the design drawings. Tang Tu opened the video with his IPAD. It seemed that he had arranged to talk to Noah long ago. Xu Hanyi talked about Ruan Youqing Sleeve: "Handsome guy, come with me."

He followed the little girl out of the gallery and went up to the office on the top floor again. Xu Hanyi gave him an access card for the elevator: "Swipe the card first and then press the corresponding floor, otherwise you won't be able to get up. This is the key to the storage room. I found some paintings for sale by contracted painters. Generally, customers will make an appointment before viewing the paintings. Here is our artist index. You can take a copy back to read. Oh, this is the brochure of Noah’s solo exhibition. You should also take a copy. "

Ruan Youqing was stuffed with a lot of things by her in a short while, she spoke very fast, everything she did was rushed, she hung up the windbreaker for her boss before she ran back to Ruan Youqing before she lowered her head and raised her head again.

"Handsome guy, do you have... formal clothes?" The girl looked him up and down: "Although there are no hard and fast rules, it's better not to dress too casually, the style of painting is wrong."

"There is a shirt." Ruan Youqing thought for a while: "Is it okay not to wear a suit, ordinary shirt and trousers."

"Barely, but don't wear sneakers." Xu Hanyi pursed her lips: "Handsome, do you usually speak so slowly? Don't be so leisurely at work, or you will definitely be disgusted by my boss... Oh, you must You have to do your homework in advance, whether you are meeting guests or artists, you must be ready. Otherwise..." Xu Hanyi shuddered and shook her head: "In short, do your homework in advance. You can't be cold."

"Okay." Ruan Youqing was still thinking about formal attire, he couldn't remember which pair of pants he wore with his shirt last time.

"Some artists have weird tempers, but those people are basically the boss who is personally responsible and it's not our turn." The girl paused: "I forgot...you are also an artist, sorry."

Ruan Youqing doesn't feel that he has the qualifications to be called an artist now, the artist in his impression should be a highly respected person in the industry like Li Yunchuan.He shook his head: "I'm not yet."

"From then on, I'll call you by your name directly." Xu Hanyi blinked at her: "You can call me anything, brother Cheng can call me Xiao Xu, or you can call me by my full name like the boss, just don't call me sister."

Ruan Youqing was taken aback, and the girl looked at him who was about the same age as him: "How do you know that you are older than me?"

"Aren't you 23 years old, oh, it's almost Chinese New Year, you'll be 24 next fall, right? The boss said he wants to sign you, so I've read all your information." She took out her phone and signaled Ruan Youqing to exchange contact information, by the way Dragging him into the Tubai Gallery's group, Ruan Youqing felt a chill in her heart, she didn't expect that no matter where she went, she would not be able to escape the nightmare of using WeChat to work.Seeing his stagnant eyes, Xu Hanyi added: "It's just a chat group. Let you get acquainted with everyone quickly."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Hanyi sat back at her work station, answered the phone, entered information, and looked up materials. Ruan Youqing took off the hearing aid on one side and flipped through the books at the desk in the corner.It wasn't until after seven o'clock that Tang Tu returned to the office from the gallery downstairs, followed by Cheng Mo: "Fortunately, we made an appointment early, and the price was already set. Last week's Montrouge shortlisted works auctioned his pair With 12 francs in the photo, it is estimated that the value will soon take off."

"Let Liu Yan add the bidding part of the auction to the promotional video." Tang Tu was very calm, not as excited as Cheng Mo: "Go back, it's getting late."

"Bye, boss!" Xu Hanyi put on a peach pink half-length windbreaker, and flew out the door like a beautiful bird.

Cheng Mo also took a thick black windbreaker from the hanger at the door, put it on and left. Tang Tu heaved a sigh of relief, and casually half-sat at a table, took off his glasses and rubbed the space between his brows with his knuckles.The strategizing aura dissipated, Tang Tu stretched his waist, a wrist was exposed from the sleeve, the wrist bones were slender, and the back that was always upright also slightly collapsed, like a meek herbivore, the lines softened.

"Are you tired?" It was the first time he saw such a relaxed Tang Tu.

The other party was obviously taken aback, turned around the corner, stood up straight for a moment, and looked warily at Ruan Youqing who was covered by the computer screen.

Ruan Youqing stuffed the hearing aid back: "I haven't left yet... Are you scared?" He originally wanted to ask about the contract, but seeing Tang Tu so tired, it's hard to ask him to increase his workload. Just ask Xu Hanyi tomorrow .

He walked up to Tang Tu and took out the blue eight-treasure candy from his pocket and handed it over.

Tang Tu grabbed the candy and signaled Ruan Youqing to go into his private office together: "Why are you here?"

"I accidentally took it away last time." Ruan Youqing stood in front of the door waiting for him to put on his windbreaker and turn off the computer.

"Why do you have this?" He asked Tang Tu.

"It's a gift from Liu Yan for buying a handmade cup. I thought it was interesting, so I brought it. It seems like I ate it when I was a child." Tang Tu turned off the lights and locked the door, and they stood in the aisle waiting for the elevator.

"England also?"

"No, when I was 12 or 3 years old, I went back to China and lived for more than two years. At that time, my grandfather was still alive and lived with him." Tang Tu glanced at him: "Do you like food too? Which flavor do you like?"

Ruan Youqing shook his head, he doesn't like candy very much, he only remembers that blue is the smell of soda.

At that time, Jiang Jilan bought a big bag and only picked out the blue ones to take away, and put the rest of colorful colors in a big bottle and put it on the window sill of the porcelain kiln reception room. Every day, children came to ask for sweets.

"I don't remember the taste." He looked down at his feet, Tang Tu's shoes looked similar, but Ruan Youqing found that each pair was different.Today is a pair of gray-blue Derby shoes with exquisite stitching, the matte leather looks extra soft, and a little cotton sock of the same color as the leather shoes is exposed at the ankle when walking.They stopped in front of the revolving door as usual. It stands to reason that Tang Tu should take the elevator directly to the underground parking lot, and there is no need to accompany him out of the lobby on the first floor.Ruan Youqing said, "Should you drive?"

Tang Tu nodded, still standing there without moving: "Aren't you going back?"

"You don't have to see me off every time. You go first." Ruan Youqing is not used to being taken care of all the time, and she is not a child.

Tang Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, a little puzzled, but didn't argue with him, turned and walked towards the elevator.Watching the elevator doors close, Ruan Youqing walked out of the revolving door.

An artist, he thought.

Also an artist, Noah's paintings fetched 12 euros, and his eight-treasure candy was just a free gift.

But Tang Tu looked at him very firmly that day, and said to him: "My vision is very accurate."

The eyes of the artist are very accurate, and the man is just like a man hhhhh (a new chapter will be added tomorrow)
