spectfully in front of the silver-haired old man, bowing and saying 。"Do it" 。"Liu Lao pointed to the seat beside him and said in a low voice, " 。 “Thank you, Lao Liu” 。A look of excitement flashed a...Even if he put on some makeup, if it were really his brother, would he not recognize him Ye Fan came here today and specially used some makeup techniques he had learned before to touch up his face. He couldn't guarantee that no one in the Extinction Leaf Organization would recognize him, so it was better to be more careful.

But this Ma Xiaobing actually brazenly said that he was very familiar with himself, and what's even more infuriating is that looking at his increasingly excited expression, it seemed like he was telling the truth. If that's the case, then his relationship with Li Qiang probably isn't as close as he claimed.

However, this man had a bit of a quirk. At the very least, his ability to lie with a straight face was quite impressive, which Ye Fan admired. After all, men, learning to lie is a must-have skill for picking up girls. However, at this moment, Ma Xiaobing saying these words made Ye Fan feel amused.

"From now on, as long as I, Xiaoma Ge, have a bite to eat, you'll have a bowl of soup to drink. That's what I'm saying. At Linhai University, even the teachers in school wouldn't dare mess with me, little brother. If you have anything you can't settle, just come find me. Xiaoma Ge will take care of it. There's nothing I can't do. By the way, brother, what's your name" Ma Xiaobai thought he had intimidated Ye Fan and wanted to make Ye Fan his younger brother.

Ye Fan, who was too lazy to listen to Ma Xiaobai's trembling voice, saw Zeng Xiaojun carrying a scroll of calligraphy and painting toward another screen.

"Damn it, that bastard!" When Ma Xiaobing saw Zeng Xiaojun, he started squinting and muttered something under his breath. He had never gotten along with Zeng Xiaojun at school, and now in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he absolutely couldn't tolerate Zeng Xiaojun stealing the spotlight. So, he said something brief to Ye Fan and then ran over to Zeng Xiaojun's side.

Ye Fan smiled and walked out, going to view the other exhibition area.

Although he doesn't lack the money to buy paintings now, buying a useless one would be a waste after all. So he also wants to choose a good painting, even if he doesn't need it himself in the future, it can be given away as a gift.

So he wandered around the exhibition hall.

Here are mostly works of famous artists from both home and abroad, including some signed works by world-renowned painters. Of course, the prices are also quite high.

Ye Fan simply skipped over the painting. He wasn't a collector, and there was no need for him to buy such a good piece. Besides, few of his friends knew how to appreciate it.

Suddenly, Ye Fan's eyes were attracted by a small, clear oil painting.

It was a woman's smile, viewed from afar, like a woman smiling at you. But when you gazed at it intently, you realized the woman in the painting had never smiled.

The first thought that flashed through Ye Fan's mind was almost instantly denied, Mona Lisa's smile... this painting itself is a priceless treasure. How could it possibly be in an art exhibition in such a small town It must be on display in some museum in a big country.

As for the painting itself, although the woman depicted is indeed the Mona Lisa, it's clear that the artist's skill hasn't yet reached that level of mastery. Her smile also lacks some of the enigmatic charm of the original. It seems to be the work of a talented but unknown artist.

Although many people have viewed this painting, few have commented on it, and no one has been willing to buy it.

Ye Fan followed the painting and looked at the label. The author was Yue Xian, and the price tag read 20,000 yuan.

Ye Fan couldn't help but chuckle softly. Not to mention how the artwork itself was painted, just saying that it was a forgery, and the difference from the original was actually quite significant, plus the author was completely unknown. To try and sell it at this price was simply unrealistic.

But the painting Ye Fan bought for Ma Xiaobing just now was different. Although it wasn't a masterpiece, at least it was original, and the author was a relatively well-known painter in the circle. Thirty thousand yuan wasn't expensive.

But the painting in front of Ye Fan was obviously not worth this price.

"Sir, if you like this painting, we can give you a discount. And all the funds raised this time are donated to Hope Elementary School. You can check this through our official organization. The address is..." A salesgirl saw Ye Fan lingering and hurried forward to promote it.

Although this event is a charity sale, she will still receive a commission from the paintings she sells.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "That's not necessary. I don't have time to check your website."

The saleswoman wasn't giving up. "Sir, please consider it again," she said. "Let me tell you..." She looked around to make sure no one was listening, then leaned closer with a mysterious air.

Ye Fan felt strange, why did she look like a thief

"Actually, this painting is by a super beautiful woman. Just buy it and you might get her special attention! You have to treasure it, I won't tell anyone else," the salesgirl said mysteriously.

Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat. Could he really be this lucky Could just buying a painting lead to romance Such good fortune wouldn't happen to him, would it

"Really Which beauty is it Is she among those ten super beautiful guests here" Ye Fan asked eagerly. "If that's true, then I'm really close to a great opportunity!"

The salesgirl was actually quite conflicted inside. According to the regulations of the association, she absolutely couldn't reveal these things, but the exhibition area she got today was a newcomer art exhibition. There were hardly any visitors at the newcomer art exhibition, and when there were one or two people who came, they were scared away by the price tag. Those rich second-generation kids had money, but most of them bought paintings from famous domestic and foreign artists to impress girls. She could say that today she didn't sell a single artwork from the newcomers.

As a result, she naturally didn't receive any of the bonus money. Feeling anxious about this, she blurted out the rules of the association. After saying it, she realized her mistake and turned to see if anyone from the association had heard what she said.

Luckily, no one around noticed her. The salesgirl let out a sigh of relief and whispered to Ye Fan, "Sir, this is against our store's rules. Are you sure you really want to buy this painting"

Ye Fan hurriedly took out the gold card and handed it to the saleswoman, saying: "Buy, of course buy, I'll transfer the money now."

The salesgirl was overjoyed. This time, she had completely fallen for him. She took the card Ye Fan handed her and swiped it a few times on the card reader. The transaction was complete. The salesgirl returned the card to Ye Fan and whispered in his ear, "I can tell you this, but you mustn't tell anyone else, actually, the author of this painting is..."

Just then, a sudden shout from behind startled the saleswoman nearly out of her wits.sed his connections to spread Ye Fan's information. 。That is to say, the information that Ye Fan came back was proactively revealed by Fatty to others. 。As for his motives, only heaven and earth know...
