Chapter 149 147. Be honest with friends!
The capital city under the night was extremely quiet at this time, and there were very few cars on the airport expressway, but the atmosphere in the cars was not so quiet.

"Sister Bai Qing, thank you for sitting in front with me. I like to talk to people while driving."

While driving the car, Gong Li said to Bai Qing: "I haven't congratulated you on winning the Golden Lion Award yet."

Bai Qing, the co-pilot, had no expression on her face. If she didn't want Chen Li'an to sit in the co-pilot, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to sit in the co-pilot.

"Thank you, and thank you for coming to pick us up so late."

we?

Gong Li raised her thin eyebrows slightly, glanced at Chen Li'an who was pretending to be smoking in the rear seat through the rearview mirror, and then said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, if Li'an didn't call me on purpose, I would have fallen asleep a long time ago. "

When Chen Li'an heard the conversation between the two, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. What kind of word game are they playing? Boring women, boring conversation.

Can't friends be more sincere?

Can't you be open-minded. Bah, be honest with each other? !

Chen Li'an threw the half-smoked cigarette butt out of the window, and then thought about where he should get off later. If he got off the car with Bai Qing, Gong Li would be angry, and if he went back with Gong Li, Bai Qing would be angry.

It seems that today I can only go home by myself. The final destination of a single man is still a cold bed and hands with nowhere to rest.
"I'll send it to Fangzhuang later, instead of going to Zhushikou Street." Chen Li'an looked at the scenery of the East Second Ring Road, patted the driver's seat and said.

Gong Li asked without looking back: "Your house is installed? I haven't bought anything yet. Can I live in it?"

"My friend made it for me, so I just carried my bags and checked in." Chen Li'an leaned on the back seat, looking comfortable like an old man.

At this moment, Bai Qing suddenly said: "If you go to Fangzhuang, I will go too, otherwise you will have to trouble Sister Gong Li to take me to the west city."

"No, I definitely want to enjoy the new house by myself." Chen Li'an immediately refused, and now he wanted to go home and have a good sleep, and he didn't want to spend the night with anyone.

Enjoying solitude is also a rare freedom.

When Bai Qing heard Chen Li'an's refusal, she stopped talking. She knew Chen Li'an too well, and it was useless to say anything else. She left herself and Ji Fa to find Sophie Marceau when she was in Venice.

As a dog and a man, it is impossible to expect him to find out his conscience or soften his heart.

In Chen Li'an's own words, he is the one he loves the most in this world, and no one can stop him from maintaining his inner joy.

Gong Li looked at Chen Li'an in the rearview mirror, and said to Bai Qing after a short silence: "It's okay, I drive very fast at night, and I also live in Xicheng."

"Okay, thank you." Bai Qing turned to look at Gong Li and said.

The two women looked at each other at this moment, suddenly there was a feeling of sympathy for each other, but this absurd feeling was quickly dispelled, and they stopped looking at each other.

At this moment, Chen Li'an felt that the friendship rules he followed were simply too good, and no one had any choice or position to demand or accuse him of anything.

However, if others knew about this idea, they would definitely scold Chen Li'an for being shameless, but Chen Li'an didn't care, it would be a failure not to be scolded in life.

Gong Li really wanted to scold people now, she really became a free driver for picking up people in the middle of the night!
She slowed down a little and looked at Chen Li'an in the rearview mirror and said, "The news that you won the Golden Lion Award has spread, and Director Yang of the National Art Museum of China asked me to make an appointment." You meet, and Director Wang, whom I met last time, also wants to meet you."

It was not surprising that the news of winning the Golden Lion Award spread, but Chen Li'an was surprised that Director Yang and Director Wang had something to do with him.

"What are they looking for me for?" Chen Li'an asked curiously.

Gong Li shook her head and said, "I don't know, but Director Yang asked about your schooling in Nortel, which may be related to this aspect. As for Director Wang, I don't know, but it must be a good thing."

After hearing this, Chen Li'an nodded slightly, thought for a while and said: "Then tomorrow, you can make an appointment with Director Wang for me. As for Director Yang, I will contact him alone later."

"Okay, I'll pick you up at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon." Gong Li responded, and then accelerated the speed of the car.

It was more than 30 kilometers from the airport to Fangzhuang, and Gong Li drove there in less than half an hour. She seemed to want to end this bad driving experience quickly, go home and have a good sleep, so as not to be mad at herself.

Chen Li'an took his luggage from the trunk, and before he could greet them, Gong Li kicked the accelerator and drove away.

Only Chen Li'an was left alone in the night with his hands half raised in embarrassment.
"Women really hold grudges, and they won't get married after being killed!" Chen Li'an muttered while carrying his suitcase, and ran to his new home.

Only Gong Li and Bai Qing were left in the car, neither of them spoke casually, they just kept silent.

Bai Qing is now thinking that he has to buy a car, not for other reasons but because he doesn't want to cause trouble for Chen Li'an's "good friends", and can't let them work hard for Chen Li'an as a driver.

Gong Li glanced at Bai Qing, hesitated for a while before asking, "When did you and Chen Li'an meet?"

"It's very early." Bai Qing didn't say much, she didn't like to share her affairs with others.

Gong Li didn't care, just to open up the topic, what she cared most about was Bai Qing's attitude towards Chen Li'an.

"You want to be with Chen Li'an?" Gong Li asked directly.

Bai Qing turned to look at Gong Li and said, "This has nothing to do with you."

"It's really okay." Gong Li glanced at Bai Qing lightly, and then said: "Actually, I don't have so many thoughts about him. If we are happy together, we will continue. If we are not happy, we will say goodbye. In the end, I don’t have the energy to guard against death every day.”

What Gong Li said was very direct and sensible, but Bai Qing vaguely felt that she was fooling herself, but seeing Gong Li's expression, she couldn't see any flaws, and finally just hummed coldly.

Seeing Bai Qing's attitude, Gong Li didn't want to say anything more. There are always people who think they are special, and they haven't suffered a lot!
Chen Li'an, who had already got off the car, was walking in the community at this time, looking at the environment of the community in the night, he felt that it was not bad.

After buying the house for a few months, I was finally able to live in it. Chen Li'an never came to see it when it was being renovated, and he didn't know how the final effect would be.

When Chen Li'an opened the door full of expectation, he was dumbfounded as soon as he turned on the light
Why is the bathroom light on?

Could it be that someone came to steal it. Bah, bah, disgusting!

The movement of Chen Li'an opening the door also alarmed the people in the bathroom, only to see Mr. Zhou, who was carelessly wrapped in a towel, walking out cautiously with a toilet in his hand.

Seeing Chen Li'an standing in the porch, Mr. Zhou woke up instantly, dropped the toilet in his hand and rushed over.

"You're back! You scared me to death!" Mr. Zhou hugged Chen Li'an and said with some fear, "I thought it was a thief."

Chen Li'an looked down at the foolish and bold Young Master Zhou, and said angrily, "If you're really a thief, you'll be delivering food when you come out like this!"

Young Master Zhou blushed and defended in a low voice: "I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, who sleeps wearing so much."

Well, who let Mr. Zhou be born free, just like Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an patted Young Master Zhou on the back and said, "Okay, let me go first, why are you here tonight?"

"I saw in the newspaper that you won the award. I wanted to call to congratulate you, but I knew you were going back to China before I got through, so I waited for you here in advance." Mr. Zhou immediately said with a smile, with a smile on his face. With a little pride.

"You're the only one who is smart!" Chen Li'an scratched Young Master Zhou's nose, and suddenly felt that Young Master Zhou was the one who was really smart.

Young Master Zhou let go of Chen Li'an and asked with concern: "Are you hungry? Let me get you some supper."

Chen Li'an shook his head, he had already eaten on the plane, he would have no appetite, he just wanted to see how his house looked.

The furniture style of the 90s is really rustic. Even if Chen Lian was willing to spend money and bought imported furniture, the overall style still cannot escape the strong atmosphere of the times.

Mr. Zhou, who was following Chen Li'an, stepped on the wooden floor with bare feet, and introduced the layout and furniture of the room to Chen Li'an as if asking for credit.

During this period of time, she has been helping Chen Li'an to keep an eye on the decoration, which made her feel like building a new house for herself and Chen Li'an.

Although Chen Li'an felt that the furniture was a bit rustic, he was generally quite satisfied. He turned to look at Mr. Zhou and said, "Very good, much better than I imagined. Thank you for your hard work during this time."

"It's not hard, anyway, I have nothing to do every day, and I can't get a show."

Speaking of this Mr. Zhou, I feel melancholy for a while, why can't I get the show.

What's wrong with being short!What happened if it wasn't from the Big Three!
Chen Li'an would like to introduce some work to Mr. Zhou, but now is not the time, so let's talk to her after finalizing it.

You can't really let Mr. Zhou be your driver, it's better to let Chen Meiren be the driver, the car is safe to drive.

Mr. Zhou's driving skills are still a bit immature, probably because he is too small, every time he drives, he looks slow and careful.

Chen Li'an glanced at the time, it was almost three o'clock, and said to Young Master Zhou: "It's getting late, I'm going to take a bath, let's go to bed early."

"Well, do you want me to help you?" Mr. Zhou asked while holding Chen Li'an's hand.

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "No, it will be fine soon, you can go to sleep first."

Mr. Zhou: "...don't pretend to be stupid!"

"Oh." Chen Li'an touched his nose and said, "That's fine."

The next morning, Chen Li'an and Mr. Zhou were sitting at the dining table having brunch.

Mr. Zhou put his small face on the table tiredly, he lost his appetite to eat, and felt full and lazy.

Seeing her like this, Chen Li'an smiled and said, "You should rest at home, I have an appointment in the afternoon, and I probably won't be back in the evening."

Mr. Zhou is now in a state of overeating, he has no desires, he waved his hands lazily, and doesn't care who Chen Li'an made an appointment with and why he didn't come back.

After Chen Li'an finished his lunch, he simply cleaned up, gave Gong Li a call, and went out.

Chen Li'an waited for a while at the gate of the community, and Gong Li drove over.

Chen Li'an opened the car door and sat in before speaking, when he heard Gong Li say: "Director Wang and I inquired sideways, and it seems that there is a task for you and an award for you."

Chen Li'an: ".Is there still time to get off the car?"

"It's too late!" Gong Li stepped on the accelerator and set off as she said, and analyzed with Chen Li'an seriously: "I recently studied the domestic art circle. There were many painters who participated in the Art Biennale last time, but most of them were Popism and playism do not conform to correct values, your works and style are more positive, and you have won the Venice Golden Lion, so you understand?"

I understand. But I really don't understand
Chen Li'an scratched his hair irritably, and sighed helplessly, feeling that he had failed the award that Claire gave him.

Sure enough, modern art cannot be pure, maybe in the future we really want to play with classicism.

Gong Li looked at Chen Li'an's state, and comforted her, "I know you don't like this kind of thing, but any art cannot ignore the social impact. The artist's village was demolished this spring, don't you know it too?"

Chen Li'an sighed and said, "I know, it's just that this kind of thing is thankless, and it's hard for me to control myself."

"If you can't control it, you have to control it, unless you want to be like the artists in the painter's village." Gong Li seriously warned Chen Li'an, lest he be confused.

Chen Li'an twisted his neck and said: "Understood, if it's not too embarrassing, I won't act recklessly. At worst, I'll be playful in the future, which just suits me."

"It's good to know the seriousness, and I won't let you do the really embarrassing things. If I'm too tired, I will publicize you as a model. Art can't always be pop and fun." Gong Li analyzed very knowledgeably.

Chen Li'an turned to look at Gong Li and said, "Sister, you understand too much now, you can't repay it."

A smile appeared on the corner of Gong Li's mouth. After waiting for a long time, she didn't hear the next sentence, she looked at him displeasedly and asked, "It's gone?"

Chen Li'an said shamelessly: "You shouldn't talk about promises with your body between friends."

"Then get out of the car now!" Gong Li snorted, without any promises of her body, what happiness is there for the two of them?

Chen Li'an: "." It seems that I can only feed my sister with my body.
