1758 No Need To Distance Oneself
“So, you’re helping me hold an art exhibition this time because you want to fight with He Shihui, right?” Su Bei had already suspected that he had selfish motives for holding an art exhibition for her in such a hurry. She asked him directly.
Qian Guohua was not angry. “It’s impossible for a person not to have any selfish motives at all. I have to earn money and vent my anger. However, I still want you to stand out in the United States. After all, the United States still occupies an important position as a world powerhouse, and there are so many people who like you. Why don’t we stand at a higher level?”
Su Bei agreed. Only by occupying the highland of the United States could she truly conquer the world.
The outstanding culture of S Country deserved to be seen by more people.
“However, I definitely have no intention of fighting He Shihui in an arena battle,” Qian Gouhua said. “Recently, an elder of the painting world appeared and even said that he would take in an apprentice. I want you to give it a try. Such a good opportunity will be very beneficial to both you and me.”
Su Bei nodded and understood what he meant.
However, she did not care much about becoming a disciple. She had a mother at home, so there was really no need for her to give up what was close to her.
Qian Guohua laughed at himself. “Do you know He Consortium? He Shihui is a member of He Consortium and Old Master He’s biological granddaughter. What right do I have to compare myself to her? How would I dare to compare myself to her?”
His words were especially self-deprecating. He couldn’t even compare to He Shihui’s assistant. He Shihui would rather choose her assistant than work with him. All those artists thought that they would have a better future if they worked with Li Yishou instead, so how could he compare to He Shihui?
“The venue she usually chooses is the most luxurious and prestigious art center in the city. It gathers celebrities and big businessmen from all over the world. That way, she can build her business dream without caring about the cost. While the place I chose for you is just a place where everyone comes for their preferences and their love for art. I don’t quite understand why Li Yishou wants to snatch my venue.”
Su Bei understood. There was probably still some entanglement between the two of them. She wondered if He Shihui knew about the matter of snatching the venue.
Su Bei wanted to see who could snatch the venue away from her!
Qian Guohua returned to the venue angrily. Li Yishou was ordering someone to get rid of the arrangements he had already made.
“Li Yishou, aren’t you going too far?” Qian Gouhua rushed forward and adjusted his glasses. “You’ve already chosen a place for He Shihui’s art exhibition. This is a place I chose for my own artist. This won’t affect your art exhibition or have anything to do with you. Why did you snatch it away?”
Li Yishou was also in a hurry to hold an art exhibition, so she had no choice but to do this. She said calmly, “I told you just now that I hoped you could talk to me about the venue. You were the one who didn’t want to talk about it. Since you didn’t want to talk about it, I had no choice but to talk to the person in charge. I offered a high price, and I’m willing to pay you the penalty for breach of contract. This is indeed morally flawed, but legally, there’s no problem. Mr. Qian, do you have any more questions?”
The person in charge looked at Qian Gouhua guiltily. It was not that he was disloyal, but this commercial building was under He Consortium’s name. Now that He Shihui was going to hold an art exhibition and she was willing to pay Qian Gouhua the penalty for breach of contract, the person in charge could not resist.
“I’m sorry, Brother Gouhua. I also have to rely on He Consortium to do business,” the person in charge said in a low voice.
Qian Guohua was so angry that he was speechless.
Li Yishou handed over the check and said, “There’s no choice. You have to make an exception. You know how important it is for Shihui to hold an art exhibition. As for your artist, hold the exhibition a few days later.”
Qian Gouhua’s face turned red from humiliation as he tore the check.
Li Yishou’s expression turned cold. “Qian Gouhua, do you really think I’m deliberately trying to snatch your venue to get involved with you? Let me tell you the truth. There’s something wrong with Miss He’s venue, so I chose this place. Usually, we won’t spare a glimpse at this place.
“I don’t have the time to deliberately humiliate you or even cause trouble for you. Don’t tell me you think that Miss He’s success depends on you. Do you think that the small-time artist you’re supporting will steal Miss He’s limelight if they hold an art exhibition on the same day?”
If she really didn’t mean to humiliate him just now, then her words now were complete humiliation.
Seeing that Qian Gouhua was trembling with anger, Li Yishou did not look at him anymore. She said to the person beside him, “Get someone to tidy up the mess here and change all the arrangements according to our requirements!”
With that, she left!
Qian Gouhua clenched his fists tightly, feeling very embarrassed.
This was He Consortium’s power. He was indeed powerless to compare himself to others!
Just like back then, he couldn’t even compare to He Shihui’s assistant!
Su Bei raised her eyebrows and glanced at Li Yishou’s back as she left. A faint smile appeared on her lips. She wondered if He Shihui knew about this.
Qian Guohua walked to her side and said softly, “I’m sorry, Su Lu. I didn’t manage to settle this matter well. I’ll find another place and try my best not to change the time and date. I’ll also try my best to attract the attention of that elder.”
Qian Gouhua indeed had his career in mind.
However, he had indeed been meticulously working for Su Bei. Su Bei was very grateful for this.
After saying goodbye to him, Su Bei changed her clothes and returned to the He family’s mansion.
In the living room, He Shihui was talking to Old Master He about the art exhibition.
“I don’t understand any of this either. It’s boring to listen to it. Su Bei, you came at the right time. Let’s talk about something else.” Old Madam He pulled her hand over and said, “We went out to shop today. Did you see anything fun? Don’t be reluctant to spend money. Buy whatever you like. By the way, I didn’t see you use the card I gave you last time. Feel free to use it.”
“Grandma, I’m not short of money. I usually earn enough to spend.” Su Bei smiled. “I bought you and Grandpa something delicious.”
Old Madam He immediately smiled widely. “That’s your money. It’s the pocket money I gave you, after all. You deserve to spend it as you wish.”
Su Bei took out the soft food she had bought, and Old Madam He ate a lot of it.
She gave the food to Old Master He and heard him ask He Shihui, “Why did the art exhibition change venues?”
“Miss Dubilat took a fancy to the venue I originally liked. I thought that there was no need to compete with her, so I gave it to her,” He Shihui said. “But fortunately, there’s another venue in our own commercial building. It’s a little small, but it’s not bad at all. It’s suitable.”
