Highly Educated Gigolo (3)

Chapter 37

Zhou Ranran found it strange that she just went up to the second floor, and when she came down again, her mother, who was still angry at first, was so affectionate to Nagasawa.

"Okay, okay, don't send me away anymore. Go back. Nagasawa, if you don't want to go to work tomorrow, don't go to work. Go back. Go back. I'm here in the company."

"correct."

She thought of something again and turned back to her daughter and son-in-law: "There is a party tomorrow. Do you want to go to it?"

Ji Changze asked: "Is there anyone at that party?"

Mother Zhou thought for a moment: "It's nothing. It's just that Jin Hui's old director is getting married. Everyone is going. Nagasawa, didn't you say you wanted to open a gallery before? I don't know much about this aspect. Jin Hui has many galleries. You can ask when you have the opportunity.”

Ji Changze understood that this was a network of connections.

Zhou’s mother also has a good personality. After hearing Ji Changze say that she really likes painting and being grateful to him, she started to think of ways to help him.

He nodded: "Okay, thank you mom, Ranran and I will definitely go."

Mother Zhou is gone.

Zhou Ranran waited until she got in the car, and kept looking at the butt of the car as it left in a strange way. She waited until it was gone, then took her husband's hand and asked curiously:

"Nagaze, why is mom so nice to you all of a sudden?"

"Look at what you said."

Ji Changze smiled and touched her head: "Mom, was she not good to me before?"

"No, it's just..."

Zhou Ranran didn't know what to say. Her parents were pretty good to Nagaze before, but because Nagaze stayed at home and didn't go to work, they still complained about it.

Especially since my father's accident, my mother has been able to take the leading role by herself recently. She also has to deal with the pressure inside and outside the company, and her temper has become a bit fierce.

He is not as tolerant towards Nagasawa as before.

She didn't know what to do, so she could only persuade her from both sides.

Zhou Ranran thought for a long time before saying the right thing: "That's right, my mother's temper has been a little bad these days, and she suddenly became so good. I'm a little surprised."

"She is in a good mood because she sees our good relationship."

Ji Changze had a natural look on his face: "You are not in good health. Mom has been worried about you. When I came today and saw that I took good care of you, of course I felt better."

"Actually, it's normal for her to be stressed. Ran Ran, you can pay more attention to her during her rest time. Dad's not awake yet, and Mom is too tired to support her alone."

Zhou Ranran nodded; "I understand."

After Zhou Ranran went upstairs to see the flowers she had raised, Ji Changze went to the studio.

Yes, the original owner had a studio.

And it's huge.

When he was renovating it, he had quite a lot of requirements. One moment he wanted this, another moment he wanted that, and the next moment he didn't want abcd.

But the people who let him control were all the decoration people. With the money, no matter how angry those people were, they couldn't get angry and could only endure the work.

It's just that the original master wanted to become a great painter, but he didn't have the talent and perseverance of a great painter.

Any art student would be able to beat the paintings hanging on the wall.

He felt that he was talented, but it was just obscured by this world that ordinary people could not see through his amazing talent.

The original owner has always been so persistent. In reality, he told Zhou Ranran that Zhou Ranran, who did not understand painting, could still encourage him.

But on the Internet...

Ji Changze opened Weibo, and sure enough he saw ridicule under every Weibo post.

It’s no wonder people ridicule you.

In fact, the original owner still cares about his image in real life, but he no longer has such scruples on the Internet.

The Internet is a protective umbrella. No one can know who he is hiding underneath.

So he registered a Weibo and boasted about his paintings.

When most people are satisfied with their painting, they will humbly ask for your advice.

When the original owner was satisfied with the painting, he took a photo and posted it on Weibo. He first boasted about himself and wrote down what ideas and emotions he wanted to express in his painting, as well as what his mood was like and the lighting when he was painting.

After a long paragraph, there is one last sentence. People who understand will naturally understand.

Of course, he himself didn't know what he knew.

He's just pretending.

However, his zhu:ang'b-i ability is not up to par. A discerning person will think at first glance, wow, this guy talks a lot.

At the second glance, hey, this guy is zhu:ang'b-i.

What else is there to say? That's what you should say, big brother zhu:ang'b-i. You are a novice, and your painting is not as good as that of others with your left hand. How dare you zhu:ang'b-i?

Spray you! !

Squirt hard! !

It makes you doubt your life, and it makes you see clearly the nature of your own noob.

However, the original owner was not affected at all.

He firmly believes that he is a master-level boss, and these people are criticizing him because they are noobs and they don't understand at all.

As for what you know.

The original owner doesn't know either.

They must not understand anyway.

He still insists on being himself.

I use my wife's money to buy followers, and occasionally post a picture that others don't even know what it was drawn on.

He doesn't delete or reply to those who troll him, but looks at them with a mocking attitude.

Squirt, squirt.

Strong people are always envied.

Anyway, he has money. No matter how much these people complain, his fan base looks very beautiful.

And because he sends out red envelopes from time to time, many people are willing to give in for money. Some people even follow him even though they don’t understand painting, just to praise his paintings like crazy when he posts on Weibo.

After all, according to experience, the more powerful the praise, the greater the amount of red envelopes received.

Those powerful painters either rely on their works to gain fans, or they rely on their new ideas to gain fans.

As for the original owner, he relied on local tyrants to increase his fan base.

Others praise me because of my good paintings, but when it comes to him, they praise me for his money.

The original owner had such a style, and soon his account became a unique figure in the circle.

The kind that doesn't have a very good reputation.

Some people regard him as a cancer in the painting circle, thinking that he is following a deviant path and his paintings are not very good. He is still bragging about himself, with a look like "I am so capable and you are all rubbish".

While Ji Changze was eating an orange, he opened the private messages one by one to read them.

Well, this is a pretty good scolding.

Well, even he doesn't know this curse word. Write it down, maybe you can use it one day.

Just as I was watching, a new private message came.

Ji Changze clicked on it, and there was a line of text at the beginning.

[I know your name, Ji Changze. 】

[If you don’t want me to expose your real name and photo, give me one million. Don’t fool me. I know you have money. 】

Understand the threat.

Ji Changze dug around in his memory, and sure enough, he pulled out this memory.

At that time, someone also threatened the original owner to expose him. The original owner was afraid and beat him with one million.

After that, that person did not appear again, but never appeared again.

However, it is not ruled out that the original owner would have been stabbed to death by Zhou Ranran before he appeared again.

Ji Changze put his hands directly on the keyboard and followed the message all the way through.

They are not enemies and there is no conspiracy.

He is a person who makes money by threatening Internet celebrities.

The original owner is two different people in real life and on the Internet. I think the reason why he is so wanton on the Internet is that he is sure that no one will know his real name behind this Weibo.

Normally, if his name and photo are exposed, everyone will look at him strangely.

The original owner was arrogant but not stupid. If he was really stupid, he wouldn't be able to coax Zhou Ranran down all the time. Of course, he could only do it privately.

But if it were Ji Changze...

He took a screenshot of the private message and posted it neatly on Weibo.

[I haven’t done anything shameful. It’s just a Weibo account used to post my works. Why don’t I dare to expose my true identity in reality? I have called the police on this friend who extorted one million yuan. I wish him well. 】

This Weibo account is more or less a black and red one. After the Weibo was posted, the fans who had bowed down for money had not yet arrived, but the perennial sunspots had already arrived.

[It made me laugh so hard that I used it to display my own works. Can those paintings of yours be called works? Simply the biggest joke of the year. 】

[I didn’t do anything shameful, I just did something embarrassing. Which painter nowadays is like you, who doesn’t rely on painting for money. 】

[I’m curious if anyone knows the blogger. In reality, the blogger is so boastful and can’t see himself clearly? 】

[Blogger, my younger sister in elementary school can draw better than you. Really, I advise you to delete this Weibo as soon as possible. Be careful of people in real life laughing at you. 】

Less than three minutes later, the army of people seeking red envelopes also arrived.

Start all kinds of fancy flattery.

[Those scumbags upstairs, please don’t slander us, okay? You are not moved by his artistic conception at all. If you say that my painting is not good before you have reached that state, where is your conscience? 】

[This kind of person is really disgusting. He uses his real identity to blackmail on the Internet. He must be caught and punished severely. 】

[Yes, it’s just a Weibo for posting works. We are not afraid of slanting shadows when we are upright, so there is nothing to be afraid of! 】

The two parties soon started "fighting", and it was very lively.

Ji Changze started painting while fishing.

What he painted this time was a sunflower. The bright sunshine was shining above, but there was thick ice underneath, and half of the sunflower was frozen.

The whole picture gives people a chilly feeling.

After finishing the painting, Ji Changze took pictures like the original artist, and then posted it on Weibo with the caption:

[The starting point of this painting is to draw warmth and guidance. After finishing the painting, I can feel that this painting has the power to reassure people, and I feel that I have made progress again. 】

I didn’t forget to add the iconic words of the original owner at the end; [If you understand, you will understand naturally. 】

After the Weibo display was posted, the black people and red envelope recipients were stunned for a second.

What should I say about this painting?

It's really different from before.

It's not that the painting is too good, but the painting is too...how should I put it?

Let’s use an analogy.

For example, the paintings this blogger drew before seemed to them to be at the level of a junior high school student.

So now, it has regressed directly to the level of primary school students.

Still in the first or second grade.

A sunflower is painted crookedly, and the light from the sun is also very wrong, not to mention the ice cubes underneath.

This kind of painting method can be seen as very crude even by people who don't know how to paint.

The black men reacted first and started laughing wildly:

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, you drew this with your feet, right? Oh my god, any elementary school student can draw better than you. ]

[It's warm, it makes me laugh to death, where do you see the warmth? With your heart, hahahahahahahahahahahaha. ]

Red envelope party: ...

How can I praise this painting when it's like this?

But think about the red envelope...

Forget it, just bite the bullet and talk nonsense.

[What do some people know, this painting is obviously perfect, okay? Even an elementary school student can draw better than this, you can find an elementary school student to draw it, you look at this curve, look at this color, and then look at this visual effect, it's so good that I'm at a loss for words. ]

After racking his brains to type this paragraph, the red envelope party let out a heavy breath.

It's really not easy to make money these days, not only to torture your own aesthetics, but also to torture your own hands.

Other red envelope parties are not to be outdone.

[Yes, I also felt the warmth. Dad has really improved a lot compared to before. As of now, I think only the painting Dad drew in March can compare with it. ]

This is pretending to know something and talking nonsense.

[Wow, I am moved to tears. The painting is so good. After seeing this painting, I feel warm all over. It is so perfect and great! ! ! ]

This is nonsense proved by itself.

[Oh my God! ! ! It's amazing. Dad is really improving day by day. As a little fan who has been with Dad since the beginning, I really feel so happy. I hope Dad can get better and better. ]

This is to pull out his own veteran status and try to get a bigger red envelope.

So, for a while, there were two completely different styles of painting under Ji Changze's Weibo.

One is to want to blow Ji Changze into the world of the magic brush Ma Liang, the most awesome painter in the world.

The other is to mock fans for polluting their eyesight for red envelopes and then mock this painting for being so rubbish.

While they were arguing, Ji Changze turned on his computer and found a water army company.

After placing an order for them to brag about themselves crazily, he turned around and found another company and placed an order for them to blacken themselves crazily.

As a result, the quarrels under Weibo became more and more intense.

Because of the high popularity, some passers-by who did not know the truth strayed in and watched the quarrels below with a confused face.

And it was actually for a painting that looked like a painting by an elementary school student.

They were confused for a while, and first looked through the comments and found that there were many flattering comments. Some people who knew about painting naturally did not believe it.

But for those who don’t understand painting, even world famous paintings are just paintings in their eyes, and they can’t understand why a painting can be sold at such a high price.

So, it is understandable that they can’t understand why this painting like a primary school student was praised so sincerely.

Ji Changze watched them quarreling, and from time to time, if one side was weak, he would add money.

This quarrel lasted all night.

The red envelope party was just blowing rainbow farts for the red envelope, but they were really scolded and angry.

For a while, everyone was very sincere.

The next morning, Ji Changze, the culprit, went on Weibo and posted a Weibo.

[Everyone stop arguing, especially my loyal fans. Some people can't feel what I draw. The artistic conception is just different. ]

The haters who were planning to rest after arguing all night: ...

Damn, this is too zhu:ang'b-i!

I can't stand it, brothers, come on! !

The red envelope party also received the red envelope from Ji Changze, and they were full of fighting spirit and rushed up with shouts.

Ji Changze had already changed his clothes and took the painting with him, ready to go to the wedding of Jinhui's boss with Zhou Ranran.

In fact, it can't be called a wedding completely, after all, there was no ceremony, just invited a circle of people to have a banquet at his house together.

Zhou Ranran was not surprised: "This is the eighth time that Director Jin has married. It's normal that he doesn't want to have a big wedding."

Ji Changze nodded: "Yes, but although Director Jin has married many times, he has only two children."

Speaking of this, Zhou Ranran was a little embarrassed: "Changze, Director Jin is getting married today, Yan Zi must be there. I told her that the last time was a misunderstanding. She was doing it for my own good. Don't blame her."

"It's okay. She is your best friend. It's normal to have that kind of reaction." Ji Changze smiled and looked indifferent.

Jin Yan is the eldest daughter of Director Jin Hui and a good friend of Zhou Ranran. The original owner had a conflict with her before.

It was probably that the original owner wanted to go to the bar for a romantic encounter, but ran into Jin Yan who was having fun there. When Jin Yan saw her good friend's husband talking and laughing with a beautiful woman in the bar, and even got close to her, she got angry all of a sudden.

She went up and scolded him, and called Zhou Ranran to complain.

It's just that the original owner is a high-level person, and knows that there is nothing secret in the world. Before coming to the bar, he told Zhou Ranran that he was going to the bar to find inspiration. Zhou Ranran thought it was a misunderstanding because he reported it.

And the bar was dark, and Jin Yan was so angry that she didn't think of taking photos and videos. There was no evidence at all, so she had to give up.

But since then, she has had a problem with the original owner. It was because of her nosy eyes that the original owner never found a chance to cheat and play with women.

These two people are definitely disgusting.

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the place, Jin Yan was already waiting at the door. When she saw Zhou Ranran, she immediately smiled and greeted her, holding her hand affectionately: "Ranran, you are finally here, I have been waiting for a long time."

When she saw Ji Changze next to her, the smile on her face immediately faded a little, but with people coming and going, she could only maintain superficial politeness: "Changze is here too."

"Yanzi."

Zhou Ranran gently shook her hand, indicating that she should not look at Ji Changze's face, and Jin Yan was angry.

She actually had a good impression of Ji Changze, because Ranran kept telling her how good Ji Changze was, but she was a woman and was used to seeing all kinds of things in the circle, so she was particularly conscious and tried not to meet Ji Changze, the husband of her sister, to avoid suspicion.

As a result, she actually saw that scene.

When she thought that Ranran actually believed this scumbag so much, Jin Yan was very angry, but she couldn't produce any evidence.

She glanced at the box in Ji Changze's hand: "You also brought two gifts?"

Generally, couples bring one by default.

Zhou Ranran shook her head and smiled: "This is a painting by Changze, who said he wanted to give it to Xiaocheng."

Jin Yan showed a fake smile to Ji Changze: "Thank you, but my brother is only eight years old this year, he can't understand the painting."

Ji Changze smiled: "I drew this painting specially for him, he must like it."

Jin Yan was even more angry.

What does Ji Changze mean.

Everyone knows that her brother Jin Cheng is autistic. He doesn't even say a word, let alone like something.

He is an adult, is it fun to squeeze a child like this!

She was about to fight back, but a little boy ran over with an expressionless face, hugged her legs, and lowered his eyes without saying a word.

"Xiaocheng, why did you run out alone?"

Jin Yan, who had a fierce look in her eyes just now, immediately softened her expression, picked up her brother, and coaxed him in a low voice: "Are you scared because there are too many people?"

Jin Cheng's face still had no expression, and a pair of big eyes that should have been very beautiful were very dull.

Just as Jin Yan was about to continue coaxing, Ji Changze had already stepped forward, took out the painting, unfolded it and placed it in front of Jin Cheng, and said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Cheng, this is a painting that your brother gave you. Take a look. Do you like it?"

Jin Yan glared at him and saw that the painting was actually a strange-looking sunflower, so ugly that she couldn't bear to look at it, and she became even more angry.

"Ji Changze you!"

"So warm."

A tender child's voice suddenly sounded.

Jin Yan looked at her brother in her arms in disbelief.

The boy stared at the painting without blinking, tilted his head slightly, stretched out his hand, and took the painting on his own initiative.

Jin Yan: "!!!"

She was already incoherent with excitement, and even her eyes were slightly red.

"Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng, you spoke??!!"

"Xiao Cheng, can you say another word, Xiao Cheng, are you really speaking?"

Jin Cheng spoke again:

"So warm."

He held the painting and looked up at Jin Yan:

"Sister, I like this painting."
