Chapter 441 - What was Gu Jiangxin talking about? (1)

Gu Shishi had no idea that old man Gu Jiangxin had his heart set on getting his hand on one of her work.

It didnt matter how much or little did Gu Jiangxin knew about paintings. All in all, he had yet to see those three paintings but he was very determined to obtain them.

The next day, he sent someone to the exhibition. First to take photos of them then reached out to the organizer for the contact information of the artist.

Unfortunately, they had only been asked the same question from too many others!

Mayor Liu was among the first batch to have access to the exhibition and a government official.

Once the exhibition had formally began, many other real collectors as well as those active in the art field wanted to reach out to this Ink Painting Guru.Some of them wanted to purchase her work; others would like to befriend her and swap their ideas on art.

The person sent by Gu Jiangxin, naturally, was drowned out among these requesters.

Gu Shishi didnt know that Gu Jiangxin was one of them. She only knew that many wanted to purchase her work and was a bit troubled by that.

She couldnt spend too much time on her cellphone right now nor could she guarantee that she would be able to produce high-quality work periodically for sale.

Adding these people on her WeChat would not be of much help.

President Huang. I will add Mayor Liu. I will add any of the others that are good friends of yours but not the rest.

Gu Shishi was sitting in front of her work table.

Before the call came in, she had a dictionary in one hand and her writing brush in the other. She was working on coming up with names for her children.

She was a busy woman.

Naturally, Huang Chuan wasnt going to pressure her into anything.

It would be a joke if an artist would add ever single visitor on their WeChat after an exhibition!

He merely called to let her know that she had received a lot of compliments.

He also wanted to take the opportunity to see ask again even though he knew she wasnt planning on selling her work.

Even he wanted to spend high price in adding these to his collection. Studying them everyday would allow him to work on his bottleneck that he had been stuck on for a long while and perhaps even reached the next level at his age!

No, those three paintings are not for sale. With her writing brush, she wrote down the Bingcharacter. She studied it for a little while, felt that it looked quite nice, before she spoke again. Its okay for exhibition purposes.

The first two were for herself. They were meant to be encouraging. She wanted to save the Maitreya one for the boss.

Besides, what if the prodigal boss bought it back for a high price again after she had sold it?

The more she sold the more they would lose!

Gu Shishi had it figured out by now. She only needed to exhibit her work in order to gain fondness and increase the number of times the skill was activated. There was no need to sell them.

Alright.

Huang Chuan was disappointed but that was also expected.

Good work doesnt happen all the time. They are meaningful to any artist.

There was no need to sell any of them to the extent that they were in no shortage of money.

Ill respond to Mayor Liu and the others that you will be keeping them for yourself. You wont need to bother replying to Mayor Liu from your end.

Okie.

Gu Shishi hung up happily.

She had been busy. As she had been practicing calligraphy since she was a child, the matters of looking for a suitable name became very complicated.

It had to be meaning, and roll off the tongue, and also had to look chic in its written form!

If it was a boy, the brush strokes had to be forceful and exuberant. The name must look like it belonged to someone who was destined for great accomplishments.

For a girl, it had to come across as tender, elegant, and also have an out-of-this-world feel to it.

So tough.

It was tough to fulfill all of the criteria.

Besides, it wasnt a one-person decision.
