Chapter 465 - 465 High Price
465 High Price
“I thought it was my immortal aura that attracted the b.u.t.terflies. I didn’t expect it to be your painting. It’s too beautiful.”
“The painting is so real that I almost couldn’t recognize it. Look at the details. This is simply a detail that can only be discovered with a microscope. It’s too amazing, Little Brother.”
“You’re simply a genius, Little Brother. You’re the divine painter Ma Liang of the current generation. You’ve surprised me too much.”
“I didn’t expect the painting to be so good. However, it’s still a little inferior to mine. Little Brother, if you practice hard, you can reach my standard.”
Ye Fei pretended to be profound and made the other sisters laugh.
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that this painting could be said to be the work of an immortal. Even if it was compared to a contemporary master painter, their best work was still slightly inferior to this painting.
This was simply not something a human could draw. The color had already reached an indescribable level. Those who did not know how to draw felt that there were at most a few colors at a glance.
However, those who knew painting knew that there were no less than hundreds of colors used to outline and fill in the painting. Beginner painters could see more than ten colors, high-level painters could see dozens, and only master painters could see hundreds.
This was a gap that could not be bridged by talent and hard work. It was an innate sense of color. Only a pair of eyes that could see more colors than ordinary people could achieve so many colors.
Only those who knew paintings better would understand the hidden difficulty of this painting and the breathtaking colors.
“Forget it, Fifth Sister. I haven’t seen b.u.t.terflies flying towards your painting either. Look at how many of them I have.”
Ye Xuan teased. He shook his slightly numb hand and pointed at the b.u.t.terflies and bees flying around and circling the rose in the painting.
The sisters laughed even more happily when they heard this. Only Ye Fei’s face darkened as she looked at the large group of b.u.t.terflies with jealousy.
Then, she jumped up to catch b.u.t.terflies. She wanted to catch a few and question them why they didn’t come to her painting.
Seeing this, the sisters also played with the b.u.t.terflies. The b.u.t.terflies didn’t fly very quickly, so it was very easy to catch them.
When the b.u.t.terflies weren’t paying attention, they could pinch their wings with two fingers. However, they were worried that he would hurt them, so his sisters didn’t grab them. They only scared them and watched as they fled from the roses in the painting in a panic. After a short while, they returned to the painting reluctantly.
Everyone was overjoyed.
At this moment, Director Zhang brought Boss Fu and President Li over.
When the three of them saw this scene, they looked at one another in confusion and walked straight to Ye Xuan.
When they walked up to the painting, they realized that the light pink rose on the drawing board was like a heavenly item. For a moment, the three of them were stunned.
Their faces were filled with shock. They had never seen such a good painting. It was exactly the same as a real flower, and it was even more realistic than a real flower. Even when they were close, they could not see any blurry details with a magnifying gla.s.s.
There was no blurry feeling of setting a 1080P wallpaper in a 2K display. Even if it was in a 4K display, no blurriness could be seen at all. This was an unprecedented painting.
It simply broke the restrictions of painting and reached an unprecedented new height.
“Is… Is this really a painting…”
Boss Fu was dumbfounded. His fingers that were pointing at the drawing board trembled slightly, completely breaking his worldview. He was in disbelief.
Meanwhile, President Li was much calmer. He took a deep breath and looked at Ye Xuan with shining eyes.
“Little kid, I’ll pay 500,000 yuan for this painting. How about you sell it to me?”
Upon hearing this, Boss Fu immediately reacted and hurriedly offered.
“I can offer a million yuan. President Li, everyone knows the standard of this painting. Let’s give a conscientious price.”
If this painting was auctioned, it would be worth at least tens of millions. If there were people who knew what was good, hundreds of millions would not be a problem.
President Li naturally knew very well that he was simply trying to get this valuable item for a low price. However, when he heard Boss Fu’s words, he looked a little embarra.s.sed.
Thus, he raised the price.
“Alright, then I’ll bid three million. How about this price?”
“Then I’ll pay four million. President Li, I’ve liked paintings since I was young. Now that I’m old, I’m even more interested in collecting paintings. This rose drawn by this little kid is really one in a million. I can’t ask for more. President Li, why don’t you let me fulfill my wish?”
Boss Fu had a tearful expression on his face. He was preparing to play the emotional card.
Of course, President Li did not fall for his tricks. They were all tricks to fool others. He was an experienced person, so how could he fall for this?
He immediately retorted.
“Hey, Boss Fu, you should keep this to yourself. To be honest, my wife has always been very interested in paintings. This rose painting is so outstanding. Coincidentally, it’s my wedding anniversary. I plan to use this rose as a gift. I hope Boss Fu can fulfill my wish.”
After saying that, President Li turned to look at Ye Xuan and smiled.
“I’ll pay seven million. How about it, little kid? You won’t be able to find another bidder who will offer this price.”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by Director Zhang.
“A good item should have a good price. I’ll pay ten million. I don’t have much on hand, just a few small sums of money. Coincidentally, there’s an art exhibition in the city in a few days. I’ll ask my granddaughter to take it to the exhibition.”
When Boss Fu and President Li heard Director Zhang’s words, they were instantly speechless.
After Director Zhang finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xuan expectantly. After all, the price of this painting was indeed very tempting.
However, Ye Xuan smiled and replied to Director Zhang.
“Thank you for your appreciation, but I’m sorry, this painting isn’t for sale.”
With that, he reached out and took off the drawing paper before handing it to his sisters beside him in front of Director Zhang and the other two.
“Sisters, this painting is for you.”
Hearing this, the sisters were still a little stunned, but they quickly reacted. They took the drawing paper happily and spoke happily.
“As expected, your sisters didn’t dote on you for nothing.”
“Let’s frame this painting later and place it on the wall of the living room. That way, we can see it at a glance.”
“Yes, yes, not bad. It will definitely be very beautiful. I wonder if many b.u.t.terflies will fly into the living room.”
“Hahaha, it’s so beautiful to think about it. We will be surrounded by b.u.t.terflies and bees every day. I’m so happy!”
…
Seeing how happy his sisters were, Ye Xuan was happy for them.
Seeing this, Director Zhang wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he shook his head helplessly and sighed. He held the German Shepherd and turned to leave.
Boss Fu and President Li also shook their heads and sighed.
“He’s capable, and his temperament is even more impressive. He doesn’t even blink when it comes to something worth ten million yuan. Sigh, forget it.”
“This child will definitely become a great person in the future. Let’s go back. We won’t have the chance to obtain this painting.”
With that, the two of them gradually followed Director Zhang into the distance until their figures blurred and they disappeared from sight.
