On the third day after Song Moqing returned to the country, Pan Nuo finished handling the studio matters in Paris and returned to B City from Paris. The first thing Song Moqing did when he returned to B City was to settle his work. She relied on her amazing academic qualifications to stay at University A to teach. On the other side, a gallery named Sofia was also opened in B City.
All the paintings on display in Sofia were by Song Moqing himself. Her style was similar to Monet's, ethereal and natural, with a focus on subtle color changes. She painted natural sceneries and the details of life. Often, a single painting could be sold for a good price. This was rare among young painters.
Song Moqing's first mission after returning to the country was a charity project. Pan Nuo planned to auction off a set of paintings called Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon in her name. The painting was signed as Spring Breeze, Lotus Flower, Winter Snow, and Full Moon. The four paintings had distinct colors and were very eye-catching. The money from the auction would be donated to a charity fund in her name.
Song Moqing had always been a kind person. She expressed her unconditional support for such a good deed.
Ding dong. The doorbell suddenly rang. Without a doubt, it must be Pan Nuo. Only he knew where Song Moqing lived. Apart from his mother, Pan Nuo was the only other person Song Moqing frequently contacted on his phone. Of course, there were also some teachers and friends in Paris, but they didn't keep in touch often.
"Little Qing, I have something to discuss with you.”Pan Nuo entered the house, travel-worn, carrying a big bag of food that Song Moqing usually liked.
"Tell me." Song Moqing took the milk from Pan Nuo and placed the boxes into the fridge. Then, he looked at Pan Nuo.
"I hope you can attend the charity ball with me this weekend.”
"You know I never appear in public.”Song Moqing said calmly.
Pan Nuo frowned in annoyance. The buyer insisted on meeting Sophia. He couldn't mess up his first job after returning to the country. Although Pan Nuo had helped Song Moqing solve many troublesome buyers, he had no choice when faced with such a pestering master. In the end, he could only negotiate with the buyer, hoping that he would not reveal Sophia's identity and just meet her.
"This time is different. You only need to meet the buyer of the painting with me. You don't need to do anything else.”Pan Nuo continued to persuade him, hoping that Song Moqing would change his mind.
Pan Nuo would never force himself to attend such an occasion. There must be a reason for his insistence. With that thought in mind, Song Moqing raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement.
Pan Nuo was very happy. She wrote down the time and place of the party and left in a hurry.
Song Moqing looked at the paint that was about to be used up and couldn't help but frown. In a few days, classes would start in the academy. It seemed that he had to go out personally…
Song Moqing's brushes and paint had always been done by herself, so she couldn't allow anyone else to do it.
As he walked on the street, a cold wind entered his body through his collar. Song Moqing subconsciously shrank his neck. She thought that Paris did not have such cold weather. The warm and humid wind blew on her body, making her feel very comfortable.
As they passed by a street and turned the corner, a uniquely decorated shop came into view. Painting Intent was a shop that specialized in painting equipment. When he was at A University, Song Moqing often came here to buy painting equipment. I wonder if the lady boss here can still recognize me. Song Moqing thought silently.
"Lady Boss, give me a set of blue-purple paint. I want Windsor Newton.”Song Moqing shouted into the shop. After a pause, he added," And a set of high-grade ash.”
The shop owner replied," Alright!" It was like the tone of a waiter in an ancient TV series. Song Moqing found it funny.
When the shop owner handed the painting to Song Moqing, he felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who this beautiful lady was.
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind Song Moqing." Moqing?”He sounded hesitant.
Song Moqing turned around and saw Su Jie, whom he hadn't seen for seven years! It turned out that she had been buying art tools here. It was truly a coincidence…
When Su Jie called out, the lady boss also remembered that this was the talented girl from the art department who used to visit their house a few years ago. She was really becoming more and more beautiful! The Lady Boss sighed.
When Su Jie saw Song Moqing, she was dumbfounded. She didn't dare to step forward to acknowledge him. However, when she saw Song Moqing's gentle smile, she was sure that this was indeed her best friend! Song Moqing…
Su Jie rushed over with red eyes and hugged Song Moqing. She mumbled," Moqing, I missed you so much! After seven years, there was not even a shadow. I thought I would never see you again.”
Song Moqing patted Su Jie's back helplessly. He recalled what he had done back then. It was a little overboard. However, at that time, he was determined to cut off all contact with Tang Yu and could not care less. "I'm sorry, Jie." Song Moqing said apologetically.
Su Jie shook her head in relief and wiped away the tears on her face." Mo Qing, where are you staying now? Where do you work?"
Song Moqing said," I live in Impression Dongfang and just returned to China not long ago. I should be teaching at University A in a few days.”
Su Jie widened her eyes in surprise." Oh my god! Mo Qing, you're actually living in such an expensive building and teaching at University A. What have you been doing all these years?”
Seeing Su Jie's expression, Song Moqing was afraid that she would reveal all her secrets to the public, so he took her back to the apartment in Impression East.
As soon as Su Jie arrived at the apartment, she began to praise him." It's too grand, too noble, too perfect, too…" Su Jie suddenly ran to Song Moqing's side and said sneakily," Moqing, did you win the lottery?”
Song Moqing burst out laughing and told Su Jie all about his experience. Of course, this also included the fact that he was Sophia. Song Moqing was unusually gentle towards his friends, unlike her usual cold demeanor. Especially for Su Jie, she was even better. Song Moqing didn't have many friends in university. Coupled with her cold arrogance, no one was willing to get close to her. Su Jie was the only exception at that time.
"Oh my god! Heavens! Oh my god!" Su Jie tried her best to digest the news she had just heard. Her best friend was actually a famous painter at home and abroad. How could she accept this?!
Song Moqing smiled faintly and grabbed Su Jie's arm that was waving up and down." Little Jie, you have to keep this a secret for me.”
Su Jie stopped and nodded seriously.
"Jie, where do you work?" Song Moqing suddenly asked.
Su Jie scratched her head in embarrassment." I'm just a small teacher in a studio. Food and accommodation are provided there.”
Song Moqing lowered his head and thought for a moment before going out to call Pan Nuo. When she came back, she smiled and asked Su Jie," If I let you stay with me and be my assistant, would you be willing? I'll pay you."
Su Jie's eyes widened and she nodded excitedly." I'm willing. I don't care about salary, as long as you provide food and accommodation."”
Song Moqing smiled." Then, when are you moving in?”
"Now, immediately, immediately. I'll be right back.”Su Jie said impatiently. She jumped up, put on her shoes, and went out.
Looking at Su Jie's cheerful back, Song Moqing sighed deeply. She was still the same as before! That was great.
