BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1757 - 1757 The Venue Was Snatched!
“It’s not bad. Brother Gouhua, you know so much,” Su Bei said sincerely.
“I love doing what I do,” Qian Guohua said with a smile.
After looking around the area, Qian Gouhua saw that Su Bei had no objections, so he said, “Then the art exhibition will be held here. Just remember to come. Just show your face for a while. I don’t expect you to stay for long. Just give a brief explanation to the art aficionados.
“Yes, I’ll definitely be there on time. Since you’re so concerned, I should pay more attention to my work,” Su Bei said.
At the side, a woman in clothes that made her look capable was on the phone. “I’m sorry, Shihui. The venue of that family has indeed been booked by someone else. As you know, the person is Miss Dubilat. It hasn’t been a day or two since she’s been so wilful. I had no choice but to give in to her.”
He Shihui was indeed very angry. Why did Dubilat set her sights on her venue?
“Is it too late to change venues now?” she asked.
The person she was on the phone with was her manager, Li Yishou. Li Yishou was dressed in clothes that made her look capable, and her eyebrows were exquisitely drawn. “I’ve communicated with my friend. There’s another good venue, but someone else has already decided on it. It might take some effort.”
He Shihui said, “Then try your best. I can’t delay this matter.”
She was afraid that the more she delayed, the more biased Grandpa would be toward Su Bei. If that happened, He Shihui would not even be able to keep everything she had now.
Li Yishou hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and walked in. She bumped into Qian Gouhua.
Su Bei’s paintings fell to the ground. He immediately bent down to pick it up. When he looked up, he saw Li Yishou and was stunned. “It’s you?”
Li Yishou did not expect it to be him either. An unexpected look flashed across her face, followed by an unnatural look.
However, after thinking about it carefully, they were not surprised. After all, they were both in this industry. It was normal for them to meet here.
Li Yishou asked calmly, “You came to the United States to hold an art exhibition?”
“That’s right. Can’t I come if you’re here?” Qian Gouhua had always been stiff and not very amiable.
“That’s not it. Did you book this venue?” Li Yishou asked politely.
Qian Gouhua did not say anything. There seemed to be emotions surging in his eyes behind his glasses.
Li Yishou said in a low voice, “Let’s find a place to sit down and have a drink. I have something to talk to you about.”
“No, thanks. I’m busy.”
“Qian Gouhua, did you rent the venue? Can you sublet it to me?” Li Yishou asked.
“Yes, I have an art exhibition to hold here, so I’m very busy. Please don’t say anything else. As for subletting, it’s impossible.”
Carrying Su Bei’s paintings, Qian Guohua quickly walked out.
It took Su Bei a while to catch up with him. “Brother Gouhua?”
Qian Guohua seemed a little embarrassed. He stopped and said, “It’s nothing. I still have to go back and frame these paintings of yours, so I’m going to leave first.”
“Let’s eat something before leaving.” Su Bei saw that he had even taken the wrong path and looked like he had lost his soul. It did not seem like his usual style of doing things. She did not dare to let him leave alone.
Qian Guohua followed Su Bei into a restaurant and let her order for him. He looked a little stunned.
Su Bei did not disturb him. She thought that it would be good for him to have some time to himself.
A moment later, Qian Gouhua came back to his senses and began to eat slowly.
After eating, he smiled. “Okay, I’m fine. I have to go back and frame your paintings now.”
Seeing that his mental state had improved, Su Bei was relieved. “Then let’s call each other when the time comes.”
The two of them were about to leave when Qian Gouhua’s phone rang. He picked it up, and his expression darkened. “What? I’ve already paid the fees. Why? No, I don’t agree! Wait for me, I’ll be right there!”
“What’s going on?” Su Bei was extremely worried when she heard that it was related to the art exhibition.
Qian Guohua said, “Li Yishou, the woman you saw just now, insists on occupying our venue. She directly contacted the person in charge of the venue and took it away from us.”
Su Bei frowned. “Do you know her?”
Qian Guohua said as they walked, “It’s a lot more than that.”
Previously, he and Li Yishou were in the art exhibition business and were doing well in the United States.
Later on, Qian Gouhua met He Shihui and hit it off. He became He Shihui’s manager and specially managed her art career.
He Shihui’s creative talent was not bad. Although she could not compare to Su Bei’s talent, with Qian Gouhua’s help, she was pushed out into the limelight.
For a few years, Qian Gouhua helped He Shihui gain recognition with her art exhibitions. He also made her a rising star in the United States’ art world.
However, He Shihui didn’t paint for a living. Their cooperation became less and less stable after He Shihui gained a foothold in the industry.
Therefore, Qian Gouhua brought a few other painters along later.
However, when his career was at its peak, all the artists, including He Shihui, refused to work with him. Instead, they worked with Li Yishou alone.
In other words, Qian Gouhua was excluded from the management industry that he had built himself.
It was also at that time that Qian Gouhua found out that Li Yishou was in a relationship with one of He Shihui’s assistants. For the sake of more benefits, they kicked him out.
Under Li Yishou’s management, He Shihui had indeed become more and more like a fish in water in the past few years. After all, what she wanted was not to become a simple well-known painter but to get into contact with more figures in the business world through her painting career so that she could earn money and gain a foothold in He Consortium.
Qian Gouhua genuinely loved art. He wanted her to focus on painting. He purely wanted to make her a painter.
Li Yishou knew He Shihui better. She knew her interests and how to help her achieve them.
As a result, Qian Gouhua was chased away without a single cent. He could not stay in the United States anymore and returned to S Country. He started from scratch again and relied on his unique vision to earn a lot of money.
Before coming across Gun Gun’s and Su Bei’s paintings, he had no intention of being the manager of any artist. He just wanted to be a businessman who loved painting and made a living by painting.
However, Gun Gun’s and Su Bei’s paintings aroused his long-lost passion. He had to push these talented painters out into the world so that his legacy would not be covered in dust.
