"Okay." Ye Xingzhi's goal was achieved, and while shamelessly putting the phone back into his close pocket, he coaxed people to divert their attention, "Don't worry about the dismantling of the exhibition, I know what's going on."

Sure enough, Zhou Weixia was led away smoothly by his thoughts, and looked up at him with some doubts, "What's going on?"

Ye Xingzhi didn't speak, and took a step back to help someone tidy up the folds of the clothes that had just been pulled and tossed. "Don't worry about it, it's just a group exhibition."

"But if I miss this time, I don't know when the next opportunity for this kind of group exhibition will be." Zhou Weixia frowned, and his tone became professional, "It's really not easy for new painters to show their works."

The smile in Ye Xingzhi's eyes deepened, he stared at him and said, "There are other ways, I'm afraid you won't agree."

"..." No matter how slow Zhou Weixia was, he probably realized that this person had dug a hole for him again, just waiting for him to jump into it.He watched him warily and stood up straight.

"You come and help me with my—"

Ye Xingzhi went to hold his hand behind his back. Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door, and Yan Ping asked carelessly outside, "Brother, how are you?"

The sound reminded Zhou Weixia where he was, he struggled a bit, and quickly broke away from Ye Xingzhi's pull, coughed and said, "I should go out."

The smile on Ye Xingzhi's face froze, and he simply didn't say anything about it.He stopped the person who was going to open the door, and said impatiently, "Don't tell me this kid has been following you all these years."

But the door was already a crack open, and Yan Ping easily pushed it open.Seeing the two people entangled in the door, he went through Zhou Weixia's sentence of "just a classmate relationship" in his mind again, feeling that it was a bit difficult to digest, swallowed his saliva and said, "That...brother, my dad is looking for you .”

Zhou Weixia nodded, his ears were red, he didn't bother to explain any more, and hurried over.

Ye Xingzhi reluctantly watched the people rushing into the crowd, and didn't show any kindness to the innocent child who pushed the door. He took out his phone and made a call on the other side.

Leaning on the railing, he quietly watched Zhou Weixia busy chatting among several seniors from the empty corner of the terrace, and the corners of his lips raised involuntarily.

The mouth is not the heart.

The phone was connected quickly, and Shen Zhang's dispirited voice came from the other end, "Hello?"

After surgery a year ago, Shen Zhang's condition improved slightly.But recently, his illness has relapsed and he has to be hospitalized, and his mental state is not good.As usual, Ye Xingzhi didn't send any greetings, and went straight to the point, "You're the one who asked people to dismantle the exhibition again this time?"

Not for the first time.In the past few years, Shen Zhang had argued with him several times because of work issues. He used all tricks from asking people to buy paintings anonymously to intervening in the dismantling of exhibitions. The few exhibitions he participated in in City B did not go well.

"Your sister has been very busy recently, and it doesn't make sense for you to always hold the title of vice president. Since you are here, I will come to the company to help." President Shen Zhang was still reluctant to confront him head-on, and took a few medicines while avoiding serious matters. Said, "Come to the hospital tomorrow."

Maybe he felt that his tone just now was too harsh, so Shen Zhang took a step back and explained patiently, "You are familiar with the company's affairs, and then go to your own affairs. Otherwise, in a few years, if you want to take over... cough……"

Ye Xingzhi lowered his head and didn't know what he was planning. It took a long time before he spoke, as if he was suddenly persuaded by him, "I should meet Shen Yunman first."

"Meet your sister?" Shen Zhang sounded relieved, "Although she is mainly in charge of the company... But you don't need to worry about it, I will arrange for you to join the largest branch."

Ye Xingzhi was very persistent.Perhaps Shen Zhang also felt that it would be difficult for the two brothers and sisters to operate together in the future without seeing each other, and it would be better to ease the relationship in advance, so he agreed after thinking for a while.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xingzhi bowed his head to think about it, and sent a message to Zhou Weixia through WeChat, saying that he had to leave first.

The person who received the message turned back to him subconsciously.Ye Xingzhi watched his eyes erratically from afar, and called him with a smile.

Zhou Weixia hesitated for a few seconds, then walked away a few steps to pick it up, and heard Ye Xingzhi whisper to him, "To the right."

He looked to the right, and the man was leaning against the railing not far from the glass balcony door and smiling at him.

Obviously behind Ye Xingzhi were brightly lit high-rise buildings, but Zhou Weixia found his own star from the pile of colorful and flickering lights at a glance.He didn't go over, but stood there pretending to be calm and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay." Ye Xingzhi and him looked at each other across the crowd, and the moist evening wind softened his words, "I'm leaving, I want to see you."

The thin-skinned person did not respond as usual, and after a while he said, "The curator teacher said that he can contact the producer for you. You should have a chance to meet..."

Ye Xingzhi smiled softly, "Understood, good night."

It stands to reason that we should end the call right now and say goodbye politely, but Zhou Weixia couldn't help but hold the phone and moved two steps over there.As soon as he stood a little far away from the crowd, the brisk music at the dinner party quietly became the background of the low-pitched singing, amplifying his somewhat rapid breathing.

Ye Xingzhi stared at the red face that could not be seen clearly in the broken light, "Zhou Weixia, can you say good night to me even if you are a classmate?"

He was obviously trying to force Zhou Weixia to remember the ambiguous conversation between the two just now, the person who was so excited by him turned around and did not face him, and said quickly, "I have nothing to do, I will hang up first .”

Ye Xingzhi glanced helplessly at the phone screen that showed hang up, shook his head and smiled, pushed open the glass door of the terrace and left downstairs.

Shen Zhang's actions were quick. Ye Xingzhi went to the hospital the next day for an appointment. When he left, he was stopped by the secretary downstairs, saying that he had already made an appointment with Shen Yunman and wanted to take him to the company's conference room.

As expected, Shen Yunman didn't have a good look at him, and sat there as if facing a big enemy.There was a pile of documents at hand, and there were two lawyers with him outside, as if they wanted to clearly distinguish the property.

As soon as the secretary sat down to ease the atmosphere, Ye Xingzhi interrupted him, "I want to talk to Miss Shen alone."

Everyone else at the table was stunned. The secretary made some guesses, and chose to get up and take the door out.

Shen Yunman raised his delicate chin slightly, squinted at the man opposite, pointed at the documents in front of him, and said coldly, "For Dad's sake, you can choose one of these."

Ye Xingzhi didn't even look at it, and leaned back a little bit, and opened his mouth without much gunpowder, "No need. I have other things to talk to you about."

This meeting didn't take much time. When Shen Yunman returned to the villa from the company, Zhou Weixia was talking on the phone with his father upstairs.

His dad believed in the theory that too much of a social life interfered with his creative work, usually via landline and email.Zhou Weixia has always respected his style, and rarely calls to disturb him so seriously.

"You mean that one of Lao Su's students' paintings has been withdrawn?" Father Zhou asked.

"Hmm. Uncle Su has already inquired about it. It's probably a problem with the producer." Zhou Weixia stammered, "Father, I asked. The producer has worked with you before, so I would like to ask you... for help."

He hardly made a request to his father, and he spoke very nervously, and said cautiously, "Or at least ask the reason."

Father Zhou agreed readily, and asked him to simply send a few pictures of his works to his mailbox, expressing his curiosity about the works that made him help so wholeheartedly.

Zhou Weixia put together two reasons, and then heard Shen Yunman knocking on the door.He hurriedly said goodbye to his father as if he had been pardoned, and hurried to open the door.

As a result, Shen Yunman's first words made him turn pale, "Are you and Ye Xingzhi getting involved again?"
