Austria, in the Jelena Manor.
It was exactly 7:45 in the morning. The tall French butler directed the servants to push the cart to the door of the study.
"Miss's breakfast."
The nurse sitting behind the desk at the housekeeper's door said.
As an heiress trained by a traditional upper-class family.
Although the Elena family has always been known as art lovers, the workaholic style with a martial atmosphere of the old German and Austrian military monarchs and military aristocratic society can still be seen in Anna. Make a shadow.
Miss Anna’s daily routine is extremely regular and self-disciplined, as accurate as a well-wound clock.
She never stays up late and insists on doing upper body yoga for an hour and a half every day.
She is unable to walk. In order to prevent the atrophy of her leg muscles, a specialized physical therapist will spend an hour in the evening massaging her to relax the corresponding muscles.
Anna goes to bed at half past ten and gets up at half past six every day.
After a simple wash, she would handle official duties for an hour in the early morning, and read the day's current affairs newspapers and various art magazines.
If necessary, relevant review outlines will also be written.
At 7:45 in the morning, the butler will order the servant to bring breakfast, which is mainly organic corn cereal and decaffeinated coffee.
She finished breakfast in the study.
If she needs to go to work or have a formal social event, the housekeeper will pick out suitable clothes for her and arrange a driver to prepare for departure.
If there is no rest day on the schedule, she will deal with some personal matters before lunch.
Day after day, year after year, the routine is completely unlike that of a young woman in her twenties.
But today, for the first time, the study door did not open as usual with the ringing of the bell by the nurse sitting in the secretary's office at the door.
"Miss Anna, your breakfast."
The nurse aunt rang the intercom phone in the room.
"Oh, please come in."
A few seconds later, just when the servants began to wonder if the mistress of the manor was feeling unwell, Anna's voice came from inside .
The housekeeper opened the door.
There is an open ac on Anna's desk. She is sitting behind the computer, staring at the computer screen.
"Leave the breakfast cart here, I'll eat it later."
The hostess said without raising her head.
Although the housekeeper was curious, he naturally had no objection to his employer's decision.
He ordered the servant to put aside the breakfast cart and the hot towel used to wipe his face, turned around, and left quietly.
Before leaving,
he noticed that the newspapers and magazines he had placed in the corner of the room this morning were still there intact, not even touched.I encountered it once.
The housekeeper feels that Anna has been acting very unnaturally recently.
Especially after that day, the manor was flooded with setting teams to record the show. He often saw Anna frowning and looking dazed.
"Hurry up, why haven't you replied to the message yet?"
Anna's finger once again clicked the refresh button at the top of the screen on the touch pad.
Her face was still cold, but her slightly frowning brows and her fingers tapping on the table from time to time showed that she was definitely not calm at this time.
The computer webpage is Gu Weijing’s Detective Cat online store.
The page shows that Anna has sent a lot of messages to the other party. And the mysterious detective cat still didn't reply a word.
"What is she doing?"
"Did she see my message?"
"If she saw it, why didn't she reply?"
< p>"Would she be sad if she was scolded by people on the Internet?""Have she been deceived by those damn art vampires and signed a contract that she shouldn't have signed?"
Countless chaotic thoughts flooded into Anna's mind, causing this critic, who was always known for her elegance and calmness, to lose her usual composure.
Ever since Thomas’s video recording was completed that day, Anna has wanted to contact the detective cat lady all the time.
If it were not for the requirements of the confidentiality contract, I could neither disclose the relevant information nor contact any of the seven illustrators before the Thomas video was officially launched.
She had already sent a message to Detective Cat on the day she saw the other party’s work.
Anna's heart was not only filled with the joy of discovering an outstanding genius, but also the urgency to talk to the master.
More so, it is pure worry.
Judging from the behavior of this person who has master-level painting skills but still sells cheap popular illustrations online, Anna guessed that the living conditions of the other party would not be very good.
At this time, she suddenly became famous, and all kinds of complicated news came to her at once.
There are so many people on the Internet who praise him, and naturally some people feel that he is not worthy of being criticized alongside Jane Arnold.
Anna doesn’t think this illustrator who makes a living selling paintings online might handle it well.
She may even fall into some traps.
Why does a master like Mr. Cao need a dedicated art assistant and agent to handle contracts and related content for him.
Furthermore, the salary structure of these most personal staff is basically based on high commissions.
A great painter can earn a total of 100 million US dollars a year, and these assistants can easily earn salaries in the order of 10 million US dollars.
It’s not that the master is too arrogant or has too much money to spend, but that countless predecessors have fallen into this trap.
Not to mention that many masters are terrible at handling property.Worry, your ability to take care of yourself is like that of a disabled person. There are many twists and turns in the contract that normal people can't understand.
High commission is nothing.
I am afraid that some small galleries like to offer some seemingly generous signing fees, but in fact come up with some breach of contract clauses that are simply impossible to fulfill.
Similar to some Korean art economic companies that have been criticized by the media as sweatshops.
I signed a 10-year contract and looked good on the surface. After I finished my work, I found that I still owed the company money.
These irregular art dealers like to attract painters who have excellent painting skills and were originally unknown but suddenly gained huge traffic.
This is like a gold mine to them.
They will be like slave owners, whipping their painters, squeezing their labor and inspiration, and finally throwing them away without mercy.
This kind of news is not just in the fields of painting and music, nor is it just a recent thing. Anna knew nothing about this. Balzac was almost forced to jump off the building by his publisher.
But there is something special about the field of painting, which is money laundering.
No need to avoid it.
In the art market for art and antiques that has been rising steadily over the years, in addition to the benign art economy, there are also shocking money laundering activities.
Behind some inexplicable auctions may even be Latin American drug lords or human trafficking and other unscrupulous activities.
If you accidentally get attached to these people, a painter will be ruined.
Even if none of these things happen, if you are anxious to make money and take on some paintings that you don’t like and are not good at, this will be a huge stain on your career.
Faced with the temptation of sudden wealth, can the detective cat really be able to hold it?
Anna is worried that the other party has accepted a contract that he should not have accepted, and that someone wants to take it. His works laundered money, and for a while she worried about whether the other party would be trolled by some jealous trolls. She couldn't accept it
She felt like an old mother who was worried about her children. She had not been there for several days in a row. Get a good night's sleep.
"Mrs. Detective Cat, are you there?"
Anna typed again. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
