Zhang Zhong said that we would talk after dinner, but Xu Yuhan didn't want to, so she immediately put her arms around Zhang Zhong's neck and said, "Say it quickly!"
Having been "locked", Zhang Chong laughed and said, "Okay, okay, let me tell you. The reason why I came back so late is that I went around to the gallery. The person who bought the painting was a man named
Zhu’s husband, he probably doesn’t know about my relationship with the gallery.”
"In other words, is he sincerely buying the painting?" Xu Yuhan asked.
"Yes, I really want to buy the painting." Zhang nodded and said.
Xu Yuhan thought for a moment and said, "Then did you ask him why he wanted to buy the painting? Why was he willing to spend so much money?"
"I asked, and I'm not someone who knows much about art. I just feel like I like these paintings, so I'm willing to spend money on them."
"Then did you sell it?"
Zhang Zhong shook his head, "No."
Xu Yuhan said with a smile in her eyes, "Why don't you sell it? They paid a high price of 2.8 million."
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "Of course it's because I'm rich and I don't take the two million and eight hundred thousand in my eyes at all."
Xu Yuhan patted Zhang Zhong's shoulder and said angrily, "Virtue."
Zhang Zhong chuckled and said, "Actually, I can't bear to part with it, because these paintings are all memories, and I always feel it's a pity that people have to spend some money to buy these memories away. Especially those two paintings of yours, they are quite memorable.
of."
Xu Yuhan raised her embroidered eyebrows, "Really? Which two paintings are they?"
Zhang Zhong took out his mobile phone, found the photos and showed them to Xu Yuhan, "Look, these are these two paintings."
Seeing the photos on Zhang Zhong's cell phone, Xu Yuhan's pupils shrank slightly, and then her eyes began to be filled with memories.
This is a picture that Lin Yang sent to Zhang Zhong before. Above it is a picture of the five paintings that Zhu Guoyun wanted to buy.
Among them, the two paintings by Xu Yuhan were the same ones that had been hung on the wall of Meng's mother's small house, one was a picture of a mountain road and the other was a picture of the countryside.
And Zhang Zhong even mentioned a poem for that mountain road picture before, that is, "Mountain People".
So if you really dig deeper, the price of these two paintings by Xu Yuhan is more than 600,000 yuan. After all, they all have their own stories, whether they are Xu Yuhan's or Xu Yuhan's and Zhang Zhong's.
If collectors knew the origin of this mountain road picture and "Mountain People", they would probably compete for this painting. At that time, this painting alone should cost more than 2.8 million.
Xu Yuhan also recalled what happened at that time, her eyes shining brightly.
"This painting cannot be sold." Xu Yuhan hugged Zhang Zhong's neck even closer, her mouth pressed against Zhang Zhong's ear and said softly.
Zhang Zhong felt itchy at the base of his ears and said with a smile, "Will you let me eat?"
Xu Yuhan then let go of Zhang Zhong and said with a smile, "Did this person say he liked that painting more?"
Hearing Xu Yuhan's words, Zhang Zhong turned to look at her with a smile, "What, you want to know whose paintings he loves more? You still have to fight with Peng Peng."
"No, no, what are you talking about?" Xu Yuhan smiled sheepishly.
Zhang Chong smiled. He understood Xu Yuhan's mood. As a literary and artistic creator, of course he hopes to be recognized by others.
…
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shizhong College had a holiday, and Zhang Zhong finally had some free time.
The good times were short at that time, and not only Shizhong College was on holiday, but Yanjing University was also on holiday.
As soon as Yanjing University had a holiday, Yu Dongyu clamored to come to Jiangyang to play, and even took Wang Yi, Liu Yuan and Zhuang Yu with them.
These three people have not had much to do recently, or in other words, these three people are usually relatively free, so when they heard Yu Dongyu's proposal, they all readily agreed.
Soon, a group travel plan to Jiangyang was born.
They said they were traveling to Jiangyang, but in fact they were just visiting Zhang Chong for fun.
On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Zhong ran to the airport just after lunch and took Yu Dongyu and the others home.
These few people were all old acquaintances, so Zhang Zhong invited them directly to his home.
Hu Huifang and Zhang Xingjun were also at home. Yu Dongyu and the others said hello to them and followed Zhang Zhong up to the sixth floor.
The third and fifth floors are both under renovation, while the sixth floor has been renovated.
The sixth floor was designed as a reception room. In addition to the room with a sofa and coffee table, there is also a pure glass-covered sun room.
However, when Yu Dongyu and the others came, it happened to be snowing, so there was no sunlight at all in the sunroom.
Although there is no sunshine, the sunroom is quite good for enjoying the snow.
When Zhang Zhong originally designed the sunroom, he considered the problem of heating in winter. He directly built a fireplace next to it and got some firewood to light the fire.
In fact, according to regulations, Zhang Zhong's house is not allowed to have a fireplace because it is not a villa or a single-family house.
But because this building belongs to the Zhang Chong family, no one takes care of it.
Opposite the sun room, there is a DIY kitchen with a large circular kitchen counter that can perform various functions. What is special is that charcoal grilling can be performed directly on the kitchen counter.
After visiting these two connected rooms, Yu Dongyu sighed, "It's great to have money."
Zhang Zhong rolled his eyes, "You can't afford it?"
"I can afford it, but I can't bear to part with it. The total cost of your house is probably 50 to 60 million, which is more expensive than the villa you bought in Yanjing. Although it looks a bit ordinary on the outside,
But the space inside is really big." Yu Dongyu said.
"Isn't it big? These floors add up to two to three thousand square meters," Liu Yuan said.
Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "Well, it's close to 3,000 square meters. In fact, it has more than six floors. I also bought the basement. Plus there are some small attics upstairs, it should be eight floors."
"Actually, you should go to Yanjing. After all, you still have real estate in Yanjing and have a place to live when you go." Wang Yi said.
"I don't go to Yanjing very often, maybe once every two weeks on average. I'm quite busy during this period, so I haven't been there for several weeks," Zhang Zhong said.
He does go to Yanjing frequently, mainly because Pengpeng goes to Wu Ziyun to take classes, and sometimes he goes to Yanjing himself for other business, such as attending award ceremonies.
"How's your stove?" Liu Yuan looked at the fireplace and didn't know how to operate it.
"I don't use it very often. I just light the firewood and put it inside, then close the glass door."
Zhang Zhong set up the fireplace based on his impression, and then several people looked at the flames in the stove. No one spoke for a while, just waiting for the flames to gradually grow bigger, until the flames turned into a big flame at the back, and the fire light shone on them
Several people laughed on their faces.
On such a winter day, just looking at the flames can make people feel happy.
