Chapter 205 Salon
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 not 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 talk to 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 sitting alone in the house?"
Ning Weimin acted like a student of acting. He took the newspaper and read it seriously.
"Look what you said, am I idle? If I were to be idle, the company's business would have stopped a long time ago."
"I have to study policies, think about countermeasures, and make suggestions for the company. Otherwise, Can you let me figure it out about the art exhibition? "I said, you should go out quickly, I need to concentrate when I think. "
But this is of little use to Huo Xin, she has a pair of piercing eyes.
As soon as Ning Weimin glanced at the headline, Huo Xin snatched the newspaper away from him. Standing in front of him and saying.
"What are you pretending to be? Are you tired? There's no one else here, so don't do this with me. ”
"Which one am I going to do? You're just cooking fried cakes on fire. Stop making 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. It's just a fake trick, is it interesting or not?"
Ning Weimin had no choice but to ignore her and picked up another one. A newspaper is turned over.
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 have to find me to be anxious with you, don't you? You are so disrespectful of me."
But even so, it is still ineffective.
Huo Xin only took a few steps back, still smiling nonchalantly on his face.
"The painting has been hung on the wall. Come on, come on. I've never seen you angry before. If you are impatient with me, be impatient with me!"
Yeah! Ning Weimin knew how difficult it would be for a woman to get involved with a man.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to rush, but that he can’t.
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 was in a hurry with Huo Xin just for the trivial matter of fighting for the newspaper?
How can others believe Shan Shan who seems stingy but not stingy?
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 called pleasant to say but unpleasant to listen to.
Even if Huo Xinken 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, if he is not in a hurry, it will be just as bad.
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, there will be gossip.
In short, facing such a 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 physically entangled with each other.
We are 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 it doesn’t work out, it will become a fait accompli. It's too late to regret!
Hey, the relationship between men and women is in danger these days.
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 nothing to do. Ning Weimin took the wisest move, which was to avoid being provoked.
He glanced at Huo Xin expressionlessly, turned his face and walked towards the yard where leaves began to fall outside the door. He went all the way to public places to show his determination.
Well, it's good this time. There are witnesses outside, and Huo Xin no longer wants to curse.
No matter how much I want to make trouble, I can only endure it and silently sulk in my heart.
Of course, Ning Weimin is not a person who is willing to be beaten passively.
He also couldn't bear the humiliation of being a leader but being kicked out of his 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 can be allowed to rest and chat at will, and cigarettes and hot tea are provided free of charge.
This makes these college students very happy. They all regard Ning Weimin as a confidant who respects and knows how to appreciate 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.
The views on many things are more interesting, more sensitive, and like to find new ways.
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 insight that can predict the future are equally attractive to these college students who have no contact with society.
This should be a form of 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 re-sculpted a piece of glass fiber reinforced plastic into a work in which a wisp of green smoke rises up and turns into floating clouds, which he named "Cloud Smoke".
Don’t mention it, the effect of this work is really good.
It is both traditional and modern, both concrete and abstract, both meaningful 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 come to him to smoke, drink tea and chat.
Participants not only quickly spread to students from other departments of the two academies of fine arts, but some even brought people from the conservatory of music.
And because the form of this chat is very close to the aristocratic salons of France in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it is also modern and mentally stimulating.
As a result, 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 was 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 name of "Salon Godfather" on his head.
It was entirely due to helplessness and accident.
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 hang out in the houses of Ningwei people all day long, drinking tea and cigarettes.
My nose is not a nose, and my eyes are not eyes.
But slowly, she fell in love with the atmosphere where everyone discussed a topic enthusiastically and spoke freely.
Perhaps it is that women like her are naturally expressive, or perhaps her family has made her adapt to social situations.
She performed so well in the salon that she became the star of the salon within a few days.
And she enjoys the pleasure of overwhelming her opponents in debates, and is also happy 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 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 writes, "Our wife thought, and her guests thought she was the owner of a local 'salon' at that time."
Perhaps this sentence is also accurate. expressed Huo Xin's feelings.
