Chapter 2078: Armband
"Lucheng" is a seaside tourist city where people from all over the world come to visit.
There are many domestic businessmen doing business in "Lucheng". In addition to the local restaurants in "Lucheng", the most popular ones are Chinese restaurants.
Zhao Xu took Song Yishuang, Hatoyama Meihui, Chen Xiaodao, Nong Quan and Lao Hei to the famous "Dima" commercial street in "Lucheng".
"Dima Commercial Street" is very famous in Lucheng.
Many of the world's luxury brands are gathered here.
In addition, some large-scale auctions are often held, and there are often private exhibitions held by well-known painters.
After Zhao Xu took everyone to "Dima Commercial Street", he first walked around the department store.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu went to participate in the art exhibition again.
The art exhibition was organized by a woman named "Shalina".
Zhao Xu likes calligraphy and is not very interested in painting exhibitions.
Among everyone, the one who enjoyed the exhibition the most was Mihui Hatoyama.
Hatoyama Meihui told Zhao Xu that this woman named "Shalina" is the most famous painter on "Saya Island".
However, the paintings of "Shalina" are not very famous internationally, but are somewhat famous locally. After all, the land area of Sayar Island is not very large.
After arriving at the art exhibition, there were not many people in the exhibition hall.
Zhao Xu looked carefully at each work in the exhibition hall.
These paintings are all "abstract" paintings.
For people who do not understand the art of painting, in their eyes, every painting is very sloppy.
After turning around, Zhao Xu turned to a portrait.
In this painting, there is a woman holding a child and breastfeeding!
Zhao Xu stood in front of the painting and observed it for a long time, then asked Chen Xiaodao beside him: "Xiaodao, what do you think of this painting?"
Chen Xiaodao looked at it for a long time, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Master, how do I understand this? However, this painting seems to be about a woman breastfeeding a child."
"No! This child is begging from the woman. This woman actually has nothing and gave everything she had to this child."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a woman next to me say, "Sir, you have such good eyesight! You can actually tell that this child is begging from a woman."
Zhao Xu glanced at the woman next to him and saw that the woman was tall and covered with a white veil. Her skin was dark, which did not match the imagined picture.
Zhao Xu bowed to the woman and said, "That's how I understand it. The girl is so complimentary!"
The woman said: "You understand well! This painting looks like a woman feeding a child. In fact, it is a child begging from the woman. This is the first time that someone can see the artistic conception of this painting. If you don't dislike it,
I’ll give this painting to you sir.”
"How could this happen? I feel so ashamed."
"You are my best friend if you can understand the artistic conception of this painting. You deserve it!"
Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao looked at each other.
Zhao Xu looked at the woman in front of him and asked, "Are you...?"
"I am the owner of the exhibition, and my name is Shalina!" Shalina saluted Zhao Xu.
Sure enough!
Zhao Xu hurriedly returned the gift and said politely: "It turns out to be Miss Shalina. Your paintings are very grand. At the same time, what are you using your paintings to express to the world?"
Shalina smiled bitterly and said: "Unfortunately, there are very few people who can understand me! Dare I ask your name, sir?"
"My surname is Zhao!"
"Hello, Mr. Zhao!"
"Hello, Miss Salina!"
Zhao Xu wore a special mask on his face. Therefore, the Zhao Xu that Sha Linna saw was not his real appearance.
Shalina saw that although Zhao Xu had an ordinary appearance, he had a special temperament. Moreover, Shalina could see the artistic conception in her paintings, which made Shalina feel like she had met Zhao Xu too late.
Zhao Xu doesn't know anything about paintings. He just has an extraordinary eye and speaks from his feelings.
At this time, Hatoyama Meihui came over with Song Yishuang.
Hatoyama Mihui held two paintings in her hand and said to Zhao Xu: "Mr. Zhao, I have chosen the painting. You can go!"
Salina looked at Hatoyama Meihui and Song Yishuang, and asked Zhao Xu: "Are they your friends?"
"Yes, he is my friend!" Zhao Xu nodded.
Shalina called the staff, pointed to the painting in front of Zhao Xu, and asked the staff to wrap it up and give it to Zhao Xu. In addition, Hatoyama Meihui would give the lowest discount to the two paintings bought.
Hatoyama Meihui was stunned for a while. She didn't expect that Zhao Xugang would have such great ability just after he came to "Lücheng".
She does not need to pay for these two paintings, she just enjoys discounts and is treated as a "VIP". Because it is said that Salina would rather not sell her paintings than promote her paintings at a discount.
Zhao Xu introduced Hatoyama Meihui: "Miss Meihui, you may not know yet. This lady is the owner of this exhibition, Miss Shalina."
When Mihui Hatoyama heard this, she looked surprised and took the initiative to extend her hand to Salina and say hello: "Hello, Ms. Salina!"
"Hello! Thank you for admiring my paintings."
"Miss Shalina's painting skills are extraordinary, I really admire her."
"Miss, what do you call her?" Shalina asked.
Hatoyama Mihui smiled and said, "Just call me Meihui!"
Zhao Xu pointed at the painting that the staff was packing for him and asked Shalina: "Miss Shalina, the prototype of the woman in your painting should be an Asian woman, right?"
"Not bad! She is a friend of mine. She runs a Chinese restaurant in Lucheng and her skills are very good."
Zhao Xu said: "We just didn't have lunch. Miss Shalina, can you take us to try the craftsmanship of your friend's shop? I'm treating you to thank Miss Shalina for giving me the painting."
"Okay! Then come with me." Shalina said politely.
Zhao Xu and his party waited, then followed Sha Linna out of the art exhibition.
I drove to the "Lucheng" area and found a Chinese restaurant called "Yi Hometown".
After entering the restaurant, Shalina asked Zhao Xu and others to sit down first while she went to call her friends.
After a while, Shalina came over with a woman in her thirties.
Zhao Xu saw that the woman's figure was somewhat similar to the woman in the painting. He stood up and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, boss lady!"
"Hello!" The woman who owned the store smiled.
It is such a joy to be able to hear the language of the same country in a foreign country.
People who have never gone abroad may never experience this kind of intimacy in their lifetime.
After Zhao Xu came to "Lucheng", he often communicated with the other party in English. Therefore, he was very cordial to meet his compatriots.
While communicating with the shop owner's wife, Zhao Xu saw sharply that there was a "dragon emblem" armband on the woman's sleeve.
This armband, Zhao Xu had seen the same armband on the military counselor and Leng Ao before.
Zhao Xu's heart moved when he saw this armband.
Generally, only people with special status have this "armband".
