YM778.TV Chapter 391 - 391 Sell For Millions.
Pan Er Jiu was startled for a moment by his abrupt interruption. After she got him, she hurriedly nodded like a pecking chick and said, "Yes, yes, Madam Sheng. So, I was saying… eh? I forgot what I was saying…"
\'Poor child.\' Luo Lixi thought with a smile at Pan Er Jiu\'s embarrassment. She eyed Sheng Ruming who was having a great time then.
\'She deserves a pay raise!\' Sheng Ruming thought with a pleased expression. The man only heard the [Madam Sheng] part and the other things were censored by his filter mind!
Yang Meili laughed and was the only one who saved Pan Er Jiu from further embarrassment while reminding her, "Madam Sheng asked why you are here too…"
"Oh!" Pan Er Jiu hurriedly turned to Luo Lixi as she recalled and said with awkwardness.
"Madam, I am an employee under Sheng Industry and Corporation. CEO Sheng was my real boss even though I started to work for you. Now that you are here, it\'s only right for me to return to Ming city and work for either you or CEO Sheng. Not for Luo Corporation…"
Also this time, the man got the part [Madam Sheng] from Pan Er Jiu\'s speech and decided to give her a pay raise as well. The two oblivious ladies didn\'t know that such a bizarre thing could raise their pay up to 50% extra!
…
"Madam, let\'s enter the building. We have been waiting for a long time for you two." Yang Meili said as she wiped her sweaty forehead with the back of her hand.
"It\'s hot outside…" Luo Lixi also commented as she felt the heat.
The sky was too clear with no clouds and the sun was shining too brightly, causing the Yang Meili who was accustomed to working under air-conditioning to drench in her own sweat in a short period of time.
"Let\'s go then." Sheng Ruming answered instead and dragged Luo Lixi inside. After they walked ahead, Yang Meili and Pan Er Jiu followed as well with hurried steps.
While they entered, many female staff were standing in two lines and welcomed them with a courtesy bow. Luo Lixi blinked and noted a thing with a single glance, \'No man is here except Ruming...\'
"What is this place? Why aren\'t you saying anything?" Luo Lixi asked as she saw the inside of the building. She couldn\'t calm down the weird feeling when she saw several figurines and art pieces of mythological creatures, such as dragon, phoenix, Quinn etc.
For some reason, Luo Lixi felt very sad and wanted to leave but didn\'t have the courage to say when Sheng Ruming replied at the next second.
"You will know in a while." As Sheng Ruming said, he went up to the lift with large steps and brought her together. Soon, the four people went up to the highest floor of the building.
When Luo Lixi walked out of the lift, she was stunned by what she saw. She had the urge to walk back but Sheng Ruming didn\'t let her.
"Behave!" The man eyed her and said strictly. Luo Lixi could only obey and be dragged by him again.
...
The walls and ceiling of the fifth floor were made of glasses. But those weren\'t ordinary glasses. Many beautiful and classic pictures bloomed on the wall by the colourful art of beautiful and shiny fragments of glass.
Luo Lixi stopped in her steps and her eyes narrowed into slits. She clenched her palms and turned to him while murmuring, "This place, is it someone\'s?..."
From the side, Sheng Ruming was pleased by her dumbfounded reaction. Even though Luo Lixi was trying to hide her admiration, Sheng Ruming could clearly see that she loved the place.
"Ruming… is it an art studio?" Luo Lixi pointed inside and asked again. She turned to him with an inquiring gaze while asking in a whisper when she saw the mesmerising surroundings.
"Cough! You have finally figured it out? Good then." Sheng Ruming grabbed her stiff figure and walked to another section of the floor.
Behind them, Yang Meili and Pan Er Jiu were following without saying anything. The man was answering everything and the two women felt they shouldn\'t interrupt the Boss and his wife!
As Sheng Ruming pushed a glass door of a room, brushes, paints, canvases… in short, all kinds of materials for painting were seen there. Sheng Ruming waved his hand and said domineeringly.
"From today, this will be your art studio. You can make any kind of art and design… like our high school times. Painting, sculptures… anything. No one will say anything or stop you." Sheng Ruming whispered as he brought her into the room. He saw her looking around in a daze and the lady was somewhat lost.
Sheng Ruming smiled and picked up a painting brush. Then he stuffed it in her hand and brought Luo Lixi in front of the canvas. Sheng Ruming stood behind and hugged her waist from behind.
Then he dipped the brush in yellow colour and while grabbing her right hand, he made a twisted-ugly duck in the snow white paper.
After he was done, Sheng Ruming continued to stare at the paper gravely and said with a smirk, "Look Lixi. Such a fine piece of art. Should I put it for auction? It will surely sell for millions!"
Luo Lixi gripped the brush tightly and turned around to glare at him. She gritted her teeth and murmured, "If you praise someone for such a disgusting thing, they will lose their motivation to live! Also, millions? This thing can only be used as tissue paper!"
From behind, Yang Meili and Pan Er Jiu saw this scene and felt the richness of sweetness from the air. The two single women couldn\'t bear to see the couple\'s bickering anymore!
"We should leave now, right?" Yang Meili whispered to Pan Er Jiu. The other woman nodded with a smile. Thus, the two women left quietly and closed the door so that the couple wouldn\'t be disturbed by someone else.
…
"Lixi, this is the studio I have prepared for you." Sheng Ruming grabbed her hands and both of them stared at each other while his voice rang out in the quiet room, "I know... you don\'t like to work in a company. Also, I remember the dream of yours… to become a famous painter, an artist."
When Luo Lixi heard him, she pursed her lips. Her eyes glanced around the room and she knew, Sheng Ruming must have bought every single necessary item for her to use but for some reason, she felt reluctant.
"Ruming, it\'s been a long… long time since I have last made a painting. I don\'t know if I can still do it or not…" Luo Lixi said sadly. Also, earlier, her fingers shook when she tried to grab the brush tightly. Her heart was beating so fast that she felt like getting a heart attack!
"Well…" After hearing her hesitance, Sheng Ruming rubbed his chin as he went into deep thoughts. But after a while, he grabbed her chin and dived into a fierce kiss.
"What was that for?" Luo Lixi asked groggily while wiping her wet lips.
"I believe in you. Good luck!" The lady froze when she heard him. As Sheng Ruming murmured, he gave a light kiss on her cheek and turned around to leave.
"Where are you going?" Luo Lixi asked as she rubbed her cheek. She was very delighted when Sheng Ruming said he believed in her yet he went ahead to leave in the next moment? Luo Lixi had the illusion that he was lying.
"Well, didn\'t you want space? Make yourself familiar with the things and make a painting. Failure is also welcomed. I will wait for you outside." Sheng Ruming glanced sideways and told her his mind. Then, the man left in large steps and left her alone. Even though he went away, Luo Lixi could see him as long as she wanted to.
After all, the walls were made of glass…
Luo Lixi gripped the brush tightly and turned back. Her orbs eyed the canvas sternly as she put the brush down. Then, she moved around and checked the painting materials present in the room.
After pondering for some minutes, Luo Lixi picked all those and placed them beside the canvas. The lady sat down on a stool and stared at the white surface.
\'Not enough.\' As she pondered, Luo Lixi changed it into a larger canvas. Afterwards, she made 50 different shades of different colours.
Right then, Luo Lixi grabbed the brush harshly and turned to the white paper. She closed her eyes in deep thoughts, \'What should I paint?! Why is it so difficult to decide something?! \'
At once, more than a hundred topics came to mind but she was confused as to what to pick. While holding the brush for a long time, suddenly, she opened her eyes and then looked down on the canvas. Then, her eyes flashed as a smile broke out on her face, "Let\'s begin."
