Inside the house, Ma Ruilian was giggling while her flowers were trembling wildly.
Because, when Ma Ruilian saw Lou Xi opening his cherry lips wide, even if he retreated, he was still shaking his head with an expression of disbelief. In Ma Ruilian's eyes, Lou Xi was his grandfather's assistant. For a long time, nothing had happened as he did things cleanly. This time, it was rare to see such a puzzled expression on her face.
Very quickly, within the Nine Prefectures Tower, the announcement of the great selection had ended. As for Zhang Yuan Yuan's name, it echoed again and again through the radio in the tower.
In Xiao Chaoran's office on the top floor, Zhang Yuan Yuan heard the broadcast. She sat up straight and mumbled, "Listen to me."
Xiao Yi's hearing was sharp, he had heard it long ago. He immediately nodded and narrowed his eyes. "Mm, you go take a look."
Zhang Yuan Yuan quickly stood up and left the room.
Her eyes filled with tears as she walked out of the office. After so many years of persisting in his dream, he finally saw a glimmer of hope in this late autumn.
Xiao Chaoran sat on the sofa, looked at Xiao Yi and laughed: "Could it be, your girlfriend is qualified?"
"God knows." Xiao Yi laughed.
"If I get selected, then I'll have to make use of this chance to talk about my cooperation with Ma Gelangsi." Xiao Chaoran instantly sat up straight, his spine straight like a spear. His eyes shone brightly.
Xiao Yi laughed, and said emotionlessly: "The higher your heart, the more painful it will feel to fall. This is only the first selection, what's more, you said that Ma Gelangsi was hard to deal with. Also, even if Yuan Yuan is chosen, he might not agree to cooperate with you. It's not good to daydream in broad daylight. "
"I'm joking." Xiao Chaoran smiled lightly, and said lazily: "No matter what, I must try to get this opportunity."
Just as Zhang Yuan Yuan was walking towards Ma Gelangsi's office on the twelfth floor, Jing Linglong was sitting in the hall on the first floor. Listening to the familiar name, echoing in her ears again and again, a sour feeling welled up in her heart.
In the end, she had still gone up. Had she lost?
A bitter smile appeared in her heart.
Jing Linglong hugged her chest, thinking that this would warm her up a little.
Slowly, tears began to fall.
Jing Linglong slowly tightened her body, then raised her head. After that, Jing Linglong realized something was amiss. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Zhang Yuan Yuan to be the only one to be qualified for the first round. Why had she never heard of another name after so long?
This time, Jing Linglong held onto some hope. She instantly stood up and ran forward.
Coincidentally, Lou Xi had personally come to arrange these things.
Jing Linglong brought Lou Xi and spoke anxiously: "Miss, may I ask why I only heard Zhang Yuan Yuan's name in the results of the first round? Have the other names been listed? "
Lou Xi revealed an apologetic smile, and spoke politely: "Miss, I am sorry. This time, when Master Ma Gelangsi saw Miss Zhang Yuan Yuan's work, he was deeply moved. It had been decided on the spot that the future partner would be Ms. Zhang Yuan Yuan. The final candidate had already been selected. The future selections were all cancelled. Therefore, there are no other contestants. "
After Jing Linglong heard this, she was stunned. It was as if a stone statue had been frozen in the wind.
Her tears fell drop by drop onto the ground.
Lou Xi was startled when he saw Jing Linglong's expression. However, Lou Xi still had many things to take care of, so he quickly left.
Only Jing Linglong was left in the sea of people, crying loudly.
"Finally, my dreams of becoming Wu Chen no longer shine." After a long while, Jing Linglong swallowed a mouthful of tears. The green lotus, which has never been tainted by mud, will never be able to escape the muddy water beneath its body … "
His voice was very soft, dissipating in the bustling crowd.
Zhang Yuan Yuan was invited into Ma Gelangsi's office with a perturbed heart.
"Master Ma, you were looking for me?" Zhang Yuan Yuan was extremely nervous, and asked politely after entering.
The moment Ma Gelangsi entered the room, both of his eyes shone brightly as he looked at Zhang Yuan Yuan. Now, after hearing Zhang Yuan Yuan's question, Ma Gelangsi stood up from the sofa and said enthusiastically: "Sit, please sit."
The current Ma Gelangsi was like a young man who had just experienced love, looking at the woman he liked and feeling uneasy.
Zhang Yuan Yuan was startled, and her heart became even more uneasy. However, Ma Gelangsi persisted and said: "Sit, sit, quick, sit. Ma Ruilian, go make some caramel coffee for the Miss Zhang. "
"Hmm?" After Ma Ruilian heard this, she was slightly startled.
"Go, go. After that, the painting was yours. " Now, Ma Gelangsi had promised a sweet treat to his granddaughter, making Ma Ruilian willingly get up and make caramel coffee for him.
Under Ma Gelangsi's extreme enthusiasm, Zhang Yuan Yuan finally sat down on the sofa nervously. However, Zhang Yuan Yuan was extremely nervous when she sat down, as if there was a nail under her butt, and was extremely uneasy. Raising her head to look at Ma Ruilian who was not far away, the mist in her eyes grew even denser.
Why was his love rival in Master Ma Gelangsi's office now?
Ma Gelangsi sat in front of Zhang Yuan Yuan, and said in a joyous manner: "Un, you're really handsome. A standard beauty of the Orient, pretty. "
The moment he said that, Zhang Yuan Yuan was shocked. Could it be that this old man has fallen for me? What did she mean by that? The old cow wants to nibble on the tender grass?
However, Ma Gelangsi's next sentence made Zhang Yuan Yuan dispel this thought: "I heard that Miss Zhang is a friend of's. With her beauty, beauty, she must be Xiao Yi's girlfriend."
Hearing Ma Gelangsi's words, Zhang Yuan Yuan raised her head and asked: "Master Ma, do you recognize Xiao Yi?"
"Yes, we know each other and have some connections." Ma Gelangsi pretended to be indifferent and asked again, "As Xiao Yi's girlfriend, does Miss Zhang have a good relationship with her?"
This was to find out the truth between Zhang Yuan Yuan and Xiao Yi, the more weight Zhang Yuan Yuan held in Xiao Yi's heart. Then, the more likely she would take Xiao Yi as his master.
"It's pretty good." Zhang Yuan Yuan smiled politely: "Thank you for your concern Master Ma."
Right at this time, Ma Ruilian finished brewing the hot coffee and brought it up. Ma Gelangsi invited Ma Ruilian to drink some tea, and said: "Your relationship is good, then it's really good. This time, I have decided that my partner here will be your Miss Zhang. I will soon establish a large scale exhibition hall, and then hold the art exhibition. Miss Zhang, you need to prepare more works. "
"Hmm?" The cup of coffee that had just been picked up suddenly flowed out a little. "Master Ma, what do you mean by this?"
"It's very simple." Ma Gelangsi joyfully looked at Ma Ruilian in front of him, and spoke clearly: "What I mean is that it's very simple. I don't know, does the Miss Zhang have any big demands of us? As for the details, we can discuss it in detail later. "
"Make a request?" Zhang Yuan Yuan felt as if her brain was struck by lightning, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and gathered her courage to ask: "Isn't this just the first round?"
Everything seemed to be happening in a dream, causing Zhang Yuan Yuan to be caught off guard.
"It has already been confirmed to be you. The selection process from now on has been cancelled. You are my, Ma Gelangsi's, partner, an outstanding young painter that I have selected. " Ma Gelangsi looked at Zhang Yuan Yuan with a smile, and spoke of this fact once again.
Zhang Yuan Yuan confirmed the truth and immediately raised his coffee cup in delight. She drank the slightly hot coffee in the cup in one gulp. It seemed like she wanted to calm herself down with this cup of slightly hot coffee.
"That is to say, that in the future, I will be exhibiting my works with the works of the Master Ma together in different parts of the country?" After gulping down a cup of coffee, Zhang Yuan Yuan looked at Ma Gelangsi with longing.
"Of course." Ma Gelangsi smiled as he looked at Zhang Yuan Yuan, and made a decision. "Since that's the case, then, we have confirmed our cooperative relationship. Later, I will have my personal assistant, Lou Xi, sign a contract with you. "
"Alright, alright."
This was originally a great opportunity and good fortune for Zhang Yuan Yuan and the other young painter. This was a shortcut to their dream, how could they still have any objections? Zhang Yuan Yuan nodded her head quickly like a chick eating rice.
Seeing that the matter had been decided, Ma Gelangsi finally looked at Zhang Yuan Yuan with a joyous expression. He carefully asked: "I wonder if it is possible for this Miss Zhang to be introduced.
It seemed to be a casual question, but Zhang Yuan Yuan was slightly startled. When she thought about how Ma Ruilian had greeted him and how she had not talked about her work with him ever since she had come in here, she realized that Ma Gelangsi had never once talked about it with him before. Almost, the topic of conversation had always been pestering Xiao Yi not letting go.
In that moment, Zhang Yuan Yuan seemed to have realized something. The joy on her face suddenly changed. Then, she looked straight at Ma Gelangsi, and asked in a daze: "See Xiao Yi, we can meet again in a bit. Let me ask you something first. I don't know what moved you about my work. Is there anything that is lacking with my work, Master Ma can give me some pointers? "
With just that short question, it caused Ma Gelangsi to be stunned. In his mind, after searching for a bit, he could not find any impression of Zhang Yuan Yuan's work at all.
Because, he did not have the time to see Zhang Yuan Yuan's work.
Ma Gelangsi laughed awkwardly, and then said awkwardly: "Miss Zhang, you have a good relationship with Mr. Xiao, so that is enough for you to become my partner. As for how the work was done, it was actually not important. If it's good, it's my unexpected gain. If it's bad, I can teach it. "
