"I drew illustrations online and made a little money."
Gu Weijing thought for a moment and decided to reveal a little more.
You always need to choose some people to trust.
Uncle Alai should be a very trustworthy person, with both vision and principles.
"A little money, Mr. Gu, a million dollars is not a little money, that's a lot of money." Uncle Alai seemed to have a rare desire to complain.
Just in his deep tone of voice.
Tu Cao sounded unhurried, as if an old monk was reciting sutras.
"Does your family know?" the driver asked again.
“I don’t know. I don’t know how to say it, and I don’t know how to explain that I made money and then gave it away. You should understand what I’m talking about. It is always difficult for elders to understand this kind of thing."
Gu Weijing leaned back in his chair and scratched Awang's ears. "Especially, my identity as an online illustrator is anonymous and remains anonymous. Enough mystery is good for this business."
"Uncle Alai, you are the only one who knows about this matter. If you are concerned about whether my money-making channel is clean, I can keep my name anonymous. I’ll tell you my identity.”
It’s not uncommon for illustrators to earn ten thousand dollars a month, but there are only a handful of illustrators in the world who can earn one million dollars a year. .
With this middle-aged man’s ability, if he really wanted to investigate, it would be easy.
Instead of everyone guessing, it is better to be more open-minded.
Uncle Alai was stunned for a moment, and his heart moved slightly.
In his outlook on life, trust is a rarer thing than gold.
In many situations, it is also a very dangerous thing.
When he was doing anti-narcotics work in the past, if an undercover informant told you that only you knew something, it meant that he had entrusted his life to you.
When protecting important personnel, it is often not a good thing if the leader suddenly tells you any secrets.
Not only does it represent trust, but the subtext is to tie you into his political camp. If you don’t obey, you will be killed and silenced.
The gatekeeper's gaze fell on the young man in the back row through the rearview mirror.
This guy probably didn’t get rid of his thoughts, and he definitely didn’t control his abilities.
Perhaps only innocent young people at this age can easily hand over something as precious as trust to others
They have not been betrayed yet and do not know the meaning of trust. importance and weight.
I was inexplicably entrusted with such an important matter, a secret worth a million dollars.
"Like Banksy"
The janitor suddenly asked.
Gu Weijing was stunned for a moment.
He originally thought that Uncle Alai would continue to ask about his identity.I didn’t expect the other party to ask this question suddenly.
"Who"
"I said, Mr. Gu, your current job is similar to that of Banksy, the one who painted girls holding balloons"
"A very appropriate example. Yes, it's like Banksy. But not as good as others." Gu Weijing nodded in surprise.
Banksy is the codename of an anonymous painter.
The most famous modern artist in the world is also one of the most mysterious.
Other than the codename Banksy, the public knows nothing about his true identity, not even whether he is a man or a woman.
His external media image is that of a mysterious man with a brown fast-food paper bag covering his head.
Mystery has become one of his most important ways of public self-marketing. Even the only anonymous person in history to appear on the cover of Time magazine.
Collectors love Banksy’s mystery and eccentricity, and the prices at his auction houses have repeatedly exceeded the one million pound mark.
The girl holding a balloon is Banksy’s most famous masterpiece.
The true identities of Ferrante, who wrote the Neapolitan Tetralogy in literature, and Banksy, who painted the girl holding a balloon in modern painting, are two of the most famous unsolved mysteries in the literary and art world.
Gu Weijing did not expect that Uncle Alai could immediately give such an appropriate example as Banksy.
Although, in the BBC's 2019 investigation, Banks relied on the public's endless obsession with the hazy mystery and the media's never-ending discussion of his true identity.
He even surpassed Monet, Picasso and Turner in one fell swoop, becoming the number one popular artist in the UK.
But this painter is actually not very well-known in the public domain.
People who don’t know the industry may not know it at all.
Even Gu Tongxiang, an old Yangon painter who is far away from the artistic trend, might have to react for a while when the name Banksy is mentioned.
"You actually know Banks"
"Mr. Gu, I am not a boy scout who goes to the battlefield with a gun under the warlord. Sometimes I will perform some diplomatic tasks. , represents the face of the country.”
“So when he was trained in Israel, he received training in diplomatic etiquette and art and religious general knowledge. From 1900 to today, the one hundred most famous painters in the field of art. I can memorize all their masterpieces."
There was no hint of showing off in Uncle Alai's tone, he was simply stating the facts.
"I understand, Mr. Gu, I think I roughly understand what you do. You don't have to tell me your identity." The driver nodded silently.
The weight of trust is too heavy.
Uncle Alai is willing to be his assistant and help him run errands and deal with some troubles, but he is still not ready to accept Gu Weijing breaking the last window.Paper preparation.
Since Gu Weijing is willing to believe in himself.
Even if it is a little unbelievable, Uncle Alai is willing to believe that the other party's money is clean.
Forget the million-dollar secret.
That is far beyond an ordinary employment relationship.
An old man who has suffered too much and experienced the vicissitudes of life has his own standards and standards for doing things.
Some secrets need to be protected with life.
Now that Gu Weijing donated money, he worked for the other party at a low salary. This equal exchange was very pleasant.
Gu Weijing didn't care, but the gatekeeper knew the weight and was unwilling to upgrade their relationship to too many levels above employment.
It would be too tiring for a wage earner to become a trusted slave.
"If you have a lot of money, it means there are a lot of things to do. I may spend a lot of time on the foundation, and I may not have time to pick you up every day. Are there any safety issues that I need to worry about?"
p>Uncle Alai passed a dilapidated Toyota on the road and took the initiative to change the topic.
"It should be fine."
Brother Hao really keeps his word. He does what he says, and he says he won't disturb his creation with peace of mind.
Not only did the bald man never come to trouble him again, but Miao Aung Win also came over to talk to him and stop him.
Gu Weijing has not had any safety concerns for a long time.
"Furthermore, Koko told me, Koko, you know, my classmate at Dulwich College. Her father is a senior police inspector in Yangon Police Station. She said that Brother Hao is going to be in trouble. "
"Brother Hao, you are going to be in trouble"
Uncle Alai raised his eyebrows.
"Maybe the police are planning some thunderous operation." Gu Weijing guessed.
"It seems that Brother Hao still knows nothing. He should be not far away from his downfall."
Gu Weijing passed by the school and Miao Angwen still looked arrogant and arrogant. The annoying look can be seen in a subtle way.
He can probably deduce that Brother Hao still has a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
There was no tense atmosphere at all.
Born in sorrow and dying in happiness.
The same goes for large criminal groups.
It is estimated that this famous Brother Hao is not far away from retiring from the top spot on the Yangon underworld stage.
"Understood"
Uncle Alai hesitated for a few seconds and then said, "But Mr. Gu, you'd better pay attention to safety during this time and don't be careless."
"Aren't you optimistic about this matter?"
Gu Weijing heard another meaning in the man's tone, frowned and asked, "Uncle, you have left the political world. After such a long time, I still have my own network to get information."
"It's not that I have any news, it's just that the atmosphere in this city is not right."
Alai stared at the blocker. The city swept past outside the windshield and whispered.
"Atmosphere"
"You who are painters pay attention to the artistic atmosphere of depicting characters when you paint. A city also has its own atmosphere and temperament." The man considered his words. , "Some cities are gloomy, some cities are cheerful, some cities are slowly decaying, and some cities have restless liquid flowing forever in their blood. Yangon's temperament is like a smoldering furnace."
"Wait a moment ."
Gu Weijing casually opened the recording log on his phone.
Knowledge, technique and emotion are the three elements that constitute the quality of a work in Mr. Cao’s mind.
Knowledge is not just knowledge cards such as the architectural drawings of the Shwedagon Pagoda and the anatomical muscle lines.
The customs and customs of a city are also an important part of knowledge.
A painter only has one life. No matter how wonderful his life is, he cannot experience all kinds of life at different ages and under different circumstances.
So we need to collect styles.
In addition to collecting some on-the-ground scenery, the texture of the environment and the mentality of nearby residents are also important foundations for the "granularity" of the works.
For example, the most original perception of the urban environment is the most profound and profound thing in literary and artistic works. When Yu Hua, the master of the Eastern Xia Dynasty, creates a work, it is often accompanied by a large number of field interviews and records of rural folk songs and folk customs.
The most fundamental core of literature and art is always the same.
Excellent portrait painters can draw the soul and temperament of a character beyond the surface.
Outstanding portrait painters paint portraits of animals and cities, depicting the essence of animals and cities.
Uncle Alai’s rich life experience and his understanding of the city are as profound to local painters as the amber wine that has been gathering dust under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree for decades.
It’s worth a thousand pieces of gold.
He knew that these were important raw materials for painting.
From the time when Professor Lin Tao became a disciple of Mr. Cao until now, he always carries a paper notebook with him to record various experiences and insights from fieldwork.
Gu Weijing was just a little lazy and recorded it on his mobile phone instead.
"The temperament of Yangon is like a smoldering furnace. Uncle, you describe this city like this because of the war. The sky and the earth are like a furnace, and the people are like firewood."
"No, my focus is not burning, but suffocation."
"Yangon is an ancient city with moderate Buddhism and good crop production conditions for the past ten centuries. So this The characteristics of this city are different from other cities. Tel Aviv in Israel is also often threatened by war. The scenes there are much bigger than here, with national-level military confrontations, the vague threat of nuclear war, and the world's powder keg. ."
"But it was like a burning fire."
Uncle Alai released his right hand from the steering wheel.Rod, his five fingers gathered and relaxed, making a burning gesture.
“There are gun-toting security forces and plainclothes Mossad agents walking through the streets, and F15 heavy-duty fighter jets roaring and taking off and landing at the airport day and night. Brown-green military uniforms are worn in coffee shops and grocery stores. Next to the female soldier was a standard automatic rifle manufactured by the Belgian FN company. Everything about the war there was on the table."
"Even if it is a terrorist attack by extremists, the sky roars. The rockets that passed were often as dry and direct as the bamboo joints exploding in the flames."
"Yangon is like a sauna where water vapor is baked by the furnace. It's foggy."
"When big changes happen here that will bring about the downfall of the underworld godfather, nothing happens quietly and quietly, and everything happens. The core temperature of the burned coal was close to being able to melt the alloy, but the outer layer still looked gray."
"I still remember the days before Khun Sa decided to surrender in January 1996. Zhou. At that time, I was transferred back to Yangon, and my office was next to the Federal Government Office Building. In those days, everyone's life seemed to be the same as usual, but everyone could feel a tense atmosphere. Senior government officials hurried in and out of the building, and military and police vehicles roared past the streets."
"But no accurate news came."
"I can often hear the clouds. There was the sound of the propellers of the Mi-24 armed helicopters flying in formation, but when I looked up, I could only see thick clouds. The blue-gray clouds seemed to be weighing on everyone's hearts, making everyone uneasy."
Uncle Alai looked through the windshield at the busy crowd outside the window and said slowly.
"Whether it is Kunsha or Brother Hao, such a giant will not fall silently. The inescapable feeling of heat and humidity in the air is what you should feel on the eve of a great change. I There is no such feeling in the surrounding environment now."
"And I don't know the details of this police operation, but I just feel that it is a secret that even the female students in the school know. "Xingdong, it doesn't sound very reliable to deal with a gangster like Brother Hao."
Gu Weijing nodded as if he didn't understand.
No matter whether the information from Koko is accurate or Uncle Alai's experience is more correct, he can't do anything about such a big thing.
"That's it, I'll be careful." He still listened to the advice. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
