As the saying goes, nothing is perfect in the world.
The same goes for Ning Weimin's life.
His life was not bad.
Unfortunately, it was not as flawless as his colleagues imagined.
The main reason is that in his "Grand View Garden", there are not only "Twelve Hairpins".
There is also a "Little Pepper" who is arrogant and domineering and presses on him step by step.
Go and be busy, it will be better.
Now that she is no longer busy, every afternoon, after Huo Xin has finished her own affairs, she will be in a happy mood and come to chat with Ning Weimin.
This became a kind of harassment and psychological burden to Ning Weimin.
Once, he wanted to drive Huo Xin away, and he issued an eviction order rudely.
"Hey, can't you go somewhere else to chat with someone else? Don't bother me all the time."
But Huo Xin was sitting on a chair in the room and couldn't get up.
"What am I disturbing you for? What's the point of being alone in the house?"
Ning Weimin, on the other hand, acted as if he was a student of acting. When he entered the scene, he immediately pulled the newspaper and began to read it seriously.
"Look what you said, am I idle? If I were to be idle, the company's business would have stopped long ago."
"I have to study policies, think about countermeasures, and make suggestions for the company. How about I figure it out about the art exhibition? "I said, you'd better go out quickly. I need to concentrate when I think."
But this is also of little use to Huo Xin, who has a pair of fiery eyes.
As soon as Ning Weimin glanced at the headline, Huo Xin snatched the newspaper from his hand and stood in front of him and said.
"What are you pretending to be? Are you tired? There is no one else here, so don't do this with me."
"Which one am I going to do? You're cooking fried cakes on fire. Don't make trouble and bring me the newspaper."
Ning Weimin stretched out his hand to grab the newspaper.
Huo Xin smiled and hid the newspaper behind her back.
"Who made the fuss? It seems like you care too much about national affairs. Are you just trying to make a fool of yourself? Are you interested or not?"
Ning Weimin had no choice but to ignore her and picked up another newspaper to flip through.
But Huo Xin, on the other hand, not only snatched away the newspaper with a snap, but also tore it to pieces.
Ning Weimin immediately frowned and became a little angry.
"You insist on asking me to be in a hurry with you, don't you? It's so shameful for you to push your nose and face."
But even so, it's still ineffective.
Huo Xin only took a few steps back, still smiling nonchalantly.
"The painting is already hanging on the wall. Come here, come here. I have never seen you angry before. If you are anxious with me, be anxious with me!"
Come on! Ning Weimin knows how difficult it is for a woman to get involved with a man.
It's not that he doesn't want to rush, it's just that he can't rush.
After all, there is no one else in the room. If he really wants to get angry, yell loudly.
Huo Xin would definitely cover his face and run out, crying as if he had been humiliated.
Then if people outside hear or see it, what will happen?
Can he tell others that he is in a hurry with Huo Xin just because of the trivial matter of fighting for the newspaper?
If Shan says something that seems stingy but not stingy, how can others believe it?
Besides, some people believe it.
But Huo Xin dared to bully his superior like this, which further proved that the relationship between the two of them was unusual.
Others will definitely think that he is bullying women, or that he dares to do something that is not appropriate.
What is this called? This is a good thing to say or not.
Even if Huo Xin took the initiative to defend him, it was useless.
Because people tend to only believe what they want to believe, which makes it even more obvious that there is no silver in this place.
On the other hand, it would be equally bad if he was not in a hurry.
Then it becomes more and more endless, and it looks more and more like flirting. Wouldn't it be more troublesome for people to bump into it?
Once or twice, gossip will spread.
In short, facing this situation, Ning Weimin was extremely embarrassed and couldn't help but feel anxious.
What particularly frightened him was that he had just come so close to grabbing it.
Fortunately, I realized the danger in time and stopped in time.
Otherwise, if the anger is not contained, the two of them will get into a physical fight with each other.
We're twisting and turning, why don't we just hug them together?
At that time, who can say that it is just grabbing newspapers? It doesn’t mean that?
If you don't get it right, it will become a fait accompli. It will be too late to regret it!
Alas, the relationship between men and women these days is full of dangers.
If one is not careful, who is harassing whom may be reversed in an instant.
This is the gender advantage of women and the disadvantage of men.
So there was no choice. Ning Weimin took the wisest move, which was to hide away if he couldn't afford to offend him.
He looked at Huo Xin expressionlessly, turned his face and walked towards the yard outside the door where leaves began to fall.
He went all the way to public places to show his decisive stance.
Well, it's good this time. There are witnesses outside, and Huo Xin no longer wants to curse.
No matter how much I wanted to make trouble, I could only endure it and sulked silently in my heart.
Of course, Ning Weimin was not a person who was willing to be passively beaten.
He also couldn't stand the humiliation of being a leader but being kicked out of the position by a little secret.
So in order to completely smash the enemy's conspiracy to force him to submit, he quickly made a move.
That is to invite friends and come to your office as guests.
Soon, Ning Weimin made friends with the college students who were making sculptures in the outer courtyard of the bell tower.
He also said that the door of his office is always open to friends.
They are allowed to rest and chat as they please, and cigarettes and hot tea are provided free of charge.
This brings great happiness to these college students, who all regard Ning Weimin as a confidant who respects and appreciates the art of sculpture.
Not to mention, Ning Weimin really liked chatting with these people.
Because people who engage in art are indeed different from ordinary people.
They live in another literary world.
They have more interesting views on many things, are more sensitive, and like to find new approaches.
Ning Weimin heard many novel jokes from their mouths.
I also gained a general understanding of some Western art knowledge and methods of appreciating sculptures.
The "groceries" in his stomach and the knowledge that can predict the future are also very attractive to these college students who have no contact with society.
This should be considered complementary knowledge.
For example, there is a boy named Xiang Qun who was inspired and touched by a joke by Ning Weimin.
I completely overturned my original creative ideas and discarded them.
He used fiberglass to create a work in which a wisp of green smoke went straight up and turned into floating clouds, which he named "Cloud Smoke".
Needless to say, the effect of this work is really good.
It is both traditional and modern, both concrete and abstract, allegorical and dynamic.
Completely in line with the theme of the art exhibition.
Not only was Xiang Qun himself quite satisfied, but others also praised him and thought that it would be no problem to at least enter the Excellence Award.
In this way, Ning Weimin's office became increasingly lively.
More and more people came to him to smoke, drink tea and chat.
Not only did the participants quickly spread to students from other departments of the two art schools, but some even brought people from the music school.
And because the form of this chat is very close to the aristocratic salons of France in the 17th and 18th centuries, it also has a modern style and a sense of spiritual stimulation.
Therefore, Ning Weimin's office soon received a rather fashionable new name "Pa'er".
As the organizer and sponsor of the salon, he was also respectfully called "Master Ning" by these college students.
In this way, Ning Weimin actually got ahead of Song Huagui, the founder of the "Literary Salon" in history, and organized the first art salon in China in his own small territory.
To be honest, he really didn't want to steal Sister Song's glory and deliberately put the title of "Salon Godfather" on his head.
It was completely due to helplessness and accidental collision.
The most interesting thing is the change in Huo Xin's attitude on this matter.
At first, Huo Xin was extremely unhappy because he found that he had lost the opportunity to be alone with Ning Weimin.
She couldn't wait to kick out all these literary and artistic hooligans who hung out in the houses of Ningwei people all day long to drink tea and smoke.
All day long my nose is not a nose, and my eyes are not eyes.
But slowly, she fell in love with this atmosphere where everyone discussed the same topic enthusiastically and spoke freely.
Maybe it's because women like her are naturally expressive, or maybe her family makes her naturally adaptable to social situations.
She performed very well in the salon and became the star of the salon within a few days.
And she not only enjoys the pleasure of overwhelming her opponents in debates, but also is willing to accept everyone's affirmation and compliments.
In the end, he became a staunch supporter and promoter of the literary salon.
Especially Song Huagui also expressed his position on this.
"Relationships, these are all relationships, future relationships."
And it is said that the purpose of Pierre Carton's company is always to become friends of artistic creators.
I hope Ning Weimin can maintain this salon well on behalf of the company, and the company is even willing to provide some funding for this.
Huo Xin almost immediately gave Ning Weimin a proposal.
He said that he wanted to make this salon more formal and have stable members.
Then you should find a day to organize a more formal gathering at least once every month, or every two weeks.
And it is best to include entertainment performances and dinner activities, just like European and American classmates.
This reminded Ning Weimin of an article written by Bing Xin called "Our Wife's Living Room".
This article describes the social scene of literati during the "Saturday Party" organized by Lin Huiyin in the 1930s.
The article states, "Our wife herself thought, and her guests thought she was the owner of a local 'salon' at that time."
Perhaps this sentence accurately and truthfully expresses Huo Xin's feelings.
