Under the Stars of Van Gogh

Chapter 1 1

Ling... a crisp alarm sounded.

Qin Ankang turned over, habitually stretched out his arms and groped for the alarm watch on the bedside table, turned off the alarm watch and continued to sleep.

For people who always go to bed late and wake up late, even if the alarm watch is on, it may not necessarily play a corresponding role.

When the phone rang out of breath, Qin Ankang moved impatiently, covered his head with the quilt, let the phone keep ringing, and fell asleep.

"Qin Ankang!" The person at the door kept ringing the bell and shouting loudly to the owner of the house.

Qin Ankang lifted the quilt very reluctantly, and stood in front of the door in a dazed state. It took him a long time to react and open the door.

Xie Pengfei had expected this to happen a long time ago, so he was not surprised. He went straight into the room and asked, "Didn't you hear me calling you? Why didn't you answer the phone?"

"I heard." Qin Ankang rubbed his eyes that hadn't fully opened yet. "If you can't wake up, you won't pick it up."

Xie Pengfei turned his head and saw the person who was slumped on the sofa and continued to be dazed. He had nothing to say, so he picked him up and said, "Have you forgotten what happened today?"

Qin Ankang was still in a half-dream and half-awake state, and said vaguely: "Mmm, um."

"What are you eh?" Xie Pengfei pulled him up to the bathroom, "Hurry up and wash up!"

Qin Ankang became sober after being dragged by him like this, and suddenly remembered: "Yes, I have to go to the art exhibition today."

Xie Pengfei sighed and finally remembered.

Today is the weekend, and Qin Ankang is not involved in lawsuits. He planned to take a good rest at home to make up for his lack of sleep.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to get off work, his friend Xie Pengfei called and said that he was asking him to go to a friend's art exhibition together.

Xie Pengfei and Qin Ankang grew up together, and they are very close.

Later, Qin Ankang found out that his "friend" was actually a client of a friend of a friend of a client whom he helped to file a lawsuit.

This relationship is really out of reach, but it's too late to regret it.

One is that he has already agreed; the other is that he is too embarrassed to refuse the request of a good buddy, not to mention that the request is not too much, and he can also take the opportunity to cultivate his sentiments.

Of course, he also knew what Xie Pengfei was thinking. It would be boring to go alone, so he simply pulled a back pad to accompany him, so as to relieve the boredom.

The fact is that he is completely unable to get up early in order to cultivate some sentiments when he is sleeping in the early morning.

Under Xie Pengfei's watchful supervision, Qin Ankang took care of everything as quickly as possible. "Okay, let's go." Qin Ankang got dressed and was about to go out.

"Is this what you wear?" Xie Pengfei asked, pointing to his well-fitting suit.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Qin Ankang looked down at his clothes, which fit well and decently.

"Can you stop dressing so formally? We're going to the art exhibition, not to the court."

"Ah. There are still so many things to do." Qin Ankang muttered, while dawdling in changing into a casual outfit.

The art exhibition was held in the exhibition hall of the Academy of Fine Arts. I heard that the person who held the art exhibition was a young and promising painter of the new generation. His own style of painting was quite influential in the painting world.

But when he heard the name Ren Jianing, he still had no impression. How could a person who doesn't care about art know the artist's name? !

When they arrived, the art exhibition had just begun.

Most of the people who came were painters and some experts in the painting field, as well as teachers and students from the Academy of Fine Arts.

Another identity of Ren Jianing is a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts.

Some people from the business world also came, but they were all sponsors of this art exhibition. The business world now likes to be arty, it seems that if you don't do this, you can't keep up with the trend and can't grasp the situation.

A lot of people came in one after another, and the identities of the people could be roughly distinguished from their clothes.

Qin Ankang browsed through each of the works hanging on the wall, listened to the constant praise and praise from the people around him, and looked at the paintings carefully, really wondering how these static things could make them so much sigh.He couldn't help shaking his head rather amusedly.

"Can't you understand?" A voice suddenly sounded behind him, which really startled Qin Ankang.back

At the head, I saw a white, clean and gentle man standing about ten centimeters away from him, keeping just the right distance.

Qin Ankang knew that he was Ren Jianing, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but he didn't want to admit that he was a person without artistic ability and lack of imagination.

In desperation, he chose the most conservative and smartest way to keep silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Ren Jianing thought he was annoyed at what he said just now, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a bit abrupt.

Not all the people who come today must be painters, so what if they don’t understand?

Can't help but secretly annoyed myself for being too rude.Busy to save the situation, smiled and said: "I'm sorry."

Qin Ankang is a little strange, why apologize to himself?

He didn't know what Ren Jianing was thinking at this time, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Fortunately, Xie Pengfei appeared between the two of them at the right time, breaking the embarrassing situation, "Let me introduce, this is the famous painter Ren Jianing. This is the famous lawyer Qin Ankang."

"You're welcome." The two said in unison, and later, they smiled with a slightly unnatural expression.

Naturally, Xie Pengfei didn't know about this episode between them, so he turned to Qin Ankang: "How is it? Great artist Ren's paintings are not bad, right?"

good?

Qin Ankang didn't see anything good at all. In his eyes, these very abstract portraits had no good intentions at all. It was a waste of such good paper and paint. In his eyes, these paintings and the paintings on the outside wall There is no difference between graffiti, but one is inside the wall and the other is outside.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, and experts watch the doorway.

He completely saw the excitement, and the excitement was not seen from the painting, but from the person watching the painting.

Of course, he was not stupid enough to tell the truth to offend this well-known painter, so he could only vaguely say, "Not bad."

good?

Ren Jianing didn't see at all what Qin Ankang meant by "good". Did he mean his paintings were good or this exhibition was good.

As soon as Qin Ankang entered, he noticed this handsome man in casual clothes.

The reason why you pay attention to him is not because of his clothes, but also because of his appearance.

It was his expression and attitude. In just a short while, he had already seen the entire art exhibition.

Of course, it was absent-minded and wandering around in a fancy way.One can tell at a glance that he is not a person who appreciates paintings.

I have been busy welcoming and seeing off, I really can't spare time to meet this person.

After finally having some free time, I searched and found Qin Ankang in a corner.

At this moment, he had a perplexed look on his face, and from time to time he looked sideways at the people looking at the paintings around him.

"Really? It's just some clumsy works, it's hard to be elegant, and it's a shame."

drink!Still dragging the text!

Qin Ankang's impression of Ren Jianing was that of a sour scholar and a literary painter.

Qin Ankang has always kept literati at a respectful distance. Firstly, he is ignorant of literature and art; secondly, he really cannot accept their "proud" literati plot, and is afraid that someone will accidentally be tarnished by others.So it's better to have less contact.

Xie Pengfei seemed willing to make friends with the painter, with a warm and respectful smile on his face all the time, but in Qin Ankang's eyes, this smile was a bit fake no matter how you looked at it.

"Where, where. You are being polite. In the world of painting, who doesn't know that you are a young man, and you are a young man."

Qin Ankang couldn't help giving him a big roll of his eyes, thinking that this person really knows how to flatter.

"I'm overwhelmed." Ren Jianing smiled, "There are still some things over there, I'm sorry. You can do whatever you want."

"You are busy."

Qin Ankang has always been a bystander of this exchange of pleasantries. In fact, as a lawyer, he should be more comfortable with these scenes.

But Qin Ankang is an upright and hot-tempered person, not to mention coping with the situation, even if he greets each other politely, he won't say it.

He doesn't say it, and he doesn't like the people who say these things, he thinks those people are really fake.People who live with masks are the scariest.

"I didn't see it, you really know how to flatter." Qin Ankang mocked Xie Pengfei a little.

Xie Pengfei was a little embarrassed and said: "Hey, they are all just fooling around on the face, how can you be polite?"

He felt embarrassed because his attitude was the same as Qin Ankang's before, but he didn't know that his attitude took a sharp 180-degree turn after only a few years in the sea.No matter how thick-skinned a person is, he will be embarrassed.

Qin Ankang ignored him, knowing that he was forced to do so.

What's more, I have suffered a lot because of this temper, and I feel that I need to restrain myself in the future.

Qin Ankang, who thought he would only meet Ren Jianing once, never expected that he would meet again only a few hours after the exhibition ended.

And it was in an extremely embarrassing situation.

The situation was that after the art exhibition was over, Xie Pengfei received a call from the company, saying that there was a strike on the construction site, and he needed to come forward to solve it.without

There is a way, the situation is urgent, Xie Pengfei and Qin Ankang hurriedly explained and drove away.

The author has something to say:
