Gu Weijing did not expect such a sentence to come out of Mrs. Sakai's mouth.
He was a little overwhelmed.
"Don't bother, I'm not too thirsty."
"Drink if you're thirsty, don't drink if you're not thirsty. I'm obviously licking my lips all the time, and I'm still pretending You’re so polite. A glass of juice, what’s wrong with that? I don’t like you at all.”
Mrs. Sakai raised her eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly.
Gu Weijing was immediately relieved.
Very good,
This kind of tone and ability to fight against trolls are the normal demeanor of Katsuko Sakai’s mother that he is familiar with. The moment she just asked him if he wanted to drink water, Gu Weijing felt a little creepy.
"Mom, it's okay."
Sakai Katsuko opened the small refrigerator in the back and took out two cups of freshly squeezed juice. She handed one cup to Gu Weijing and hugged her. Holding a cup in my arms.
“Ask my mother to take care of the contract at Mashi Gallery for you. She is an expert in this area. Many times, my father’s contracts and exhibition issues are all taken care of by my mother. "
Sakai Katsuko gently bit Gu Weijing's ear.
"Mrs. Cruz, thank you for making a special trip for me, and thank you for the matter about Mashi Gallery. I will work hard to paint."
Gu Weijing sincerely Nodding towards Mrs. Sakai.
Just before receiving a call from her aunt, Katsuko Sakai told him while chatting in the studio that an agent might come to see her in the next two days, telling her not to rush to sign.
If he is willing,
her mother can help him look at the contract.
"You have a conscience."
Mrs. Sakai thought to herself.
Since she wanted to do a favor for her daughter, she couldn't just leave Gu Weijing to Ma Shi Gallery and let it go. At this time, she must personally come forward.
After learning that Hanks had come to the door.
When Mrs. Sakai simply went to the orphanage to pick up her daughter, she took Gu Weijing away directly. Mrs. Sakai felt that the boy's sincere expression of thanks showed that his attitude was still decent.
She was satisfied in her heart, but still a bit mean on her lips.
"Just thank you for recommending you to a big gallery like Mas Gallery. This is beyond what a simple letter of recommendation can match."
"Mom." Sakai Katsuko coquettishly cried out.
"Katsuko, don't interrupt me." Mrs. Sakai ignored her thin-skinned daughter.
If she doesn’t explain everything she has done to this boy, wouldn’t her favor be in vain?
“You will work hard at painting, hehe, Xiao Gu, you won’t really Think we are helping you because of your talent. There are so many outstanding geniuses in this world, why would they use their own favors to help one of them? Why is our family a charity? No."
Mrs. Sakai curled her lips and said:Wai said proudly.
"Genius, your talent is good, we have to value you, how can it be so easy to reason? How many people outside are asking my husband to speak with gold and silver mountains, do you think your paintings are just It's so special and too sentimental. You really thought I came here just for you."
"Uh"
Gu Weijing is not embarrassed, nor is he angry. .
What they say is completely simple truth without any nonsense.
Senior artists are also ordinary people, and they are complex creatures.
When you see a talented junior, you are a human being who will stretch out your hand and give him a selfless hand, and you are a human being who is willing to kick someone who is afraid of being followed by others.
If the proportion of people who choose the former was so high, the industry of painters would not have been born. Honorable people would be known as the most critical and rarest element in the success of an artist's career.
Fortunately,
He is not too stupid.
Gu Weijing only thought for two seconds and knew the correct answer to this question.
"Mrs. Sakai, thank you. I know you are not doing it for me. I am really lucky to meet Katsuko."
"Glib."
Mrs. Sakai finally felt that she had gotten the answer she wanted from this boy.
She cocked her neck, winked at her daughter proudly, and said slowly, "It's useless to talk about this kind of thing. It still has to be measured by actual performance."
"By the way, Xiao Gu, you usually live with your grandfather. You also live with your uncle, aunt and cousin Gu Lin at home. Gu Lin and you both go to school at Dewey and graduate this year, right."< /p>
The car was quiet for a while, and when it was about to arrive in front of Gu's Book Gallery, Mrs. Sakai opened her mouth as if checking her household registration.
"Well, that's right."
"Are they easy to get along with?" the blond woman asked.
"I think it's okay. Maybe my aunt is a bit harsh, but she's not a bad person." Gu Weijing shrugged. He couldn't speak ill of his relatives at this time.
Thinking of this section,
Gu Weijing felt a little nervous.
Mrs. Sakai is not a round, gentle and harmless fat uncle like Kazunari Sakai, her mouth is like a knife.
Among all the middle-aged women he has come into contact with.
Mrs. Sakai’s condescending sarcasm and his aunt’s nagging moral kidnapping are the two most evil trolls.
It's hard to tell which of the two aunts is more powerful.
Today is a meeting with the parents, right?
Gu Weijing was a little worried that the two of them would start quarreling with each other without talking.
When he was on the phone with his grandfather, he briefly mentioned that Mrs. Sakai was coming, so when the black limousine parked on the embankment in front of the book gallery.
Mr. Gu is already waiting at the doorstep in person.
"You two kids, wait for me."
Mrs. Sakai stopped Gu Weijing, asked the driver to open the junior trunk, and took out a Hermès travel bag.
She straightened her hair in front of the vanity mirror on the sun visor, then got out of the car, stepped on her high heels, and walked towards the book gallery.
"This is Mrs. Cruz for Christ's sake."
Hanks, who was a little impatient while waiting for Gu Weijing, changed his expression when Mrs. Sakai got out of the car. .
It took him three seconds to compare this blond woman with the charming young woman he had met four or five years ago in the Barcelona Art Museum to make sure that he had not mistaken the person.
Hanks was suddenly confused.
There are gossips in the industry that
Professor Sakai’s husband and wife have a very good relationship, and they are childhood sweethearts in the university.
No matter how much Master Kazunari Sakai is outside, he always behaves very well in front of his wife. For many career plans, it is more effective to convince Mrs. Sakai than to convince Professor Kazunari Sakai himself.
It’s just that the other party has a rather tough personality and is not easy to get along with.
When Hanks hoped to sign Kazunari Sakai, he had tried every means to consider whether he could take the lady route and meet this Ms. Cruz.
However, they don’t answer calls from outsiders at all.
Sent an email to her inbox, but nothing came of it.
After a lot of effort, he decided to go to the roasted bird shop and stay with Professor Sakai.
If you want to bloom, the flowers will not bloom; if you have no intention of planting willows, they will create shade.
When Hanks was in Japan, he tried his best to see this lady but couldn't. Unexpectedly, when he came to Yangon to sign this little native, he happened to bump into Mrs. Sakai. myself.
He didn't have time to be surprised.
He just ducked out from behind Gu Tongxiang, and rushed forward with as bright a smile as he bent down.
He found that Mrs. Sakai was not as difficult to approach as rumored, and he extended his hand politely.
Hanks was even more moved.
"Mrs. Cruz, I am Hank Max, the agent of Max Gallery. We met once during a discussion at the Catalan Style Art Exhibition. I wonder if you still remember me. , you are still as beautiful as before.”
Mrs. Sakai’s deft side steps avoided Hanks’s obsequious rushing steps, and lightly slapped away the agent’s outstretched paw with the back of her hand. Then he grabbed Gu Tongxiang's right hand behind him.
"This should be our first meeting, both my husband and I. We both feel that Gu Weijing is the most impressive and outstanding young man I have ever met. I have always I'm looking forward to meeting you, an old gentleman who can teach such a child. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Mr. Sakai.There was no trace of the look on Tai's face that she had just raised eyebrows at Gu Weijing in the car.
She shook hands with the other party very politely and introduced herself.
"Hello, madam"
At this time, Gu Tongxiang's face was full of wrinkles like a smile.
"My name is Adriana Cruz. I am the wife of Kazunari Sakai and the mother of Katsuko Sakai. Mr. Gu, you can call me Mrs. Sakai or just call me Adrianna. You can He is a senior teacher on the road of art, so he can be called whatever is convenient." Hanks, who had witnessed this scene completely, felt that there must have been some changes in the way the world opened that were difficult for him to understand. .
A senior teacher on the road of art
He stared at Gu Tongxiang’s bald head, his eyes widening like two copper bells.
The only thing that may be related to the word "senior" about this old guy is that he is older at most.
However, painting has always emphasized the master as the teacher.
When the art industry reaches high places, it is common for teachers to be younger than their students. Artist Huang Yongyu became a professor at CAFA in his twenties, and among his students there were even old men with gray eyebrows and beards.
Hanks has carefully judged Gu Tongxiang's level, so he can't be said to have any surprises.
But it would be a big joke if it was worth calling Mrs. Sakai an old-timer so respectfully.
"Uh, you, you, you are really too polite."
Gu Tongxiang was also stunned by this plan.
In his whole life, he has never been praised by such a high-end celebrity.
The old man grabbed Mrs. Sakai’s hand and didn’t know what to say.
"If you don't mind, let's go into the room and talk."
Mrs. Sakai smiled at Mr. Gu.
She has a bad personality, but she has always been a person with high emotional intelligence.
Mrs. Sakai would accuse Gu Weijing of doing this and doing that in the car. At such times, she was willing to be more respectful and show dignity to the elders in the other family.
Otherwise, you simply don’t agree to their relationship. If you agree, you have to put in effort to maintain the relationship.
It’s just like in Japanese TV dramas, where the Chinese lady in the mansion of a prince makes sarcastic and sarcastic comments to the in-laws of a poor boy’s family as soon as they meet her. Isn’t she going to put her own daughter on the fire in the future?
"Today is the first time we meet, I brought you a little gift."
Mrs. Sakai asked the driver to put the travel bag on the counter, unzipped the bag, and I took out a few small gift boxes.
Only then did Gu Weijing know why the blond aunt in the car asked him about his family situation.
They are not checking household registration, but making sure that they have prepared a souvenir for everyone.
The uncle got a small teacup with blue and gray glaze., the aunt got a ruby earring half the size of her fingernail, the old man Gu Tongxiang got a small scroll, and even Gu Weijing's cousin Gu Lin had a guardian amulet of "Academic Success" from Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto.
Hanks couldn’t understand it at all.
It’s not that these gifts are too expensive to accept.
These things are very good, but not too expensive.
Hanks gives so many gifts that you can recognize them at a glance. Except that the guardian of Kiyomizu Temple doesn't have an accurate price, the small tea cup should be from Sanqianjia, and the earrings are commemorative models released by Swarovski last year. They are relatively difficult to buy, and the public price should be between 500 and 800 US dollars.
This is very chewy.
This souvenir obviously took a lot of thought.
It can reflect your heart without being too expensive or showing off your wealth.
Considering Mrs. Sakai’s net worth and income, this careful attitude in choosing gifts is even more surprising than the few hundred dollars.
What shocked Hanks even more was the small scroll in Gu Tongxiang’s hand.
Mr. Gu untied the straps on the scroll, and after unfolding it, it was only two or three square feet in size. There were only four simple words on it, good health and good luck.
To be honest,
This word is written in general.
It is definitely not as good as the calligraphy of Mr. Wu next door, and maybe not as good as Gu Tongxiang’s own calligraphy, but the name below is actually Sakai Ichimoto’s.
"There are several professors at Tama Art University who are famous calligraphy masters in Japan, and they can sell tens of thousands of yen per square foot. The performance is far from enough. He originally wanted to ask his colleagues to ask for calligraphy, but I I think it’s better to write this gift yourself. It’s not worth anything, and it might be a bit embarrassing to give it out, so it’s just a token of appreciation.”
Mrs. Sakai spoke lightly.
But at this moment, even Gu Weijing was extremely grateful. The little grudge that Mrs. Sakai had left in his heart was suddenly wiped out.
Mr. Gu Tongxiang even feels that Sakai Katsuko’s family is simply the most cultivated and gentle family of artists in the world.
His old face almost twitched away with laughter.
When the old man learned that his grandson might be dating Miss Sakai, he was more worried than happy.
He always felt that they were too incompatible.
Talk about a girlfriend like Miss Sakai, which may bring a lot of psychological pressure to the grandson, and may not really be a blessing.
Honestly speaking, the old man really likes the little girl Mona who often comes to play at home.
Serious and down-to-earth,
This is what he can see and feel in his heart, a partner who can live a good life with his grandson.
At this time, Gu Tongxiang only felt that Miss Sakai Katsuko was cute, Uncle Sakai was gentle, and Mrs. Sakai was an approachable lady.
Not at all as arrogant as he imagined.
The old man has long forgotten about the little Indian girl.
Who is Mona?
“My wife is so precious.”
I don’t know whether he was happy or moved, Mr. Gu Tongxiang pinched the scroll in his hand and even started to move his lips A little trembling.
"Shengzi, green tea palace fighting, winning people's hearts, you still have a lot to learn"
Mrs. Sakai looked at Gu Tongxiang who was about to cry under her set of moves. , glanced at the innocent daughter beside him, and hummed proudly in his heart. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
