"Am also quite surprised to know you can speak English pretty well but pretended not to" Julie said calmly while Mike stood there with wide eyes.
" Sorry about that but what can I do, I have to get a good partner and besides I would've have eventually spoken English to you. Your Chinese is also very good" Wang Ye said with a little luagh.
" Thanks but am not that good with that language. So did you speak Chinese with all the other gallaries here, am quite curious" Julie asked calmly.
" Yes I first spoke some Chinese and when I saw it was difficult for them, I then spoke English to them"Wang Ye replied.
" okay , I bet they would be much surprised" said Julie.
" Yeah " said Wang Ye.just then his assistant came and said something to him.
"I guess I gotta to go but I will visit the museum to talk about the collarbration tomorrow. My assistant will send you all the details later but as of now, I have to visit an old friend" He added.
" ok then see you tomorrow" Julie said with a smile before he went away.
Julie continued with her drawing and completed it within another fifteen minutes. Throughout her whole conversation till the completion of the artwork, the young man stood there patiently and observed her every action which increased his admiration for her talent. He then went straight to her after she removed the apron which she used when drawing.
"Hello, Am quite interested in your just completed artwork. Can you please explain the meaning behind the artwork" He said.
" Hello. And why not, I would love to." she said with a smile.
she then continued by telling him that" Actually when I took the brush earlier on, I didn't really know what to draw. This time I drew a little girl left alone on a mountain because I felt like I was her. That's the feeling I got when I lost both my mother and father. The feeling of loneliness and agony is the is the main element embedded in this artwork.Although I now have miss Magret who took me in and took care of me as her own, the emptiness of having no parents will always be there.Am sorry , I talked too much"
" It's okay, a lot of people appear to be strong but they are actually the most vunerable.its quite understandable because everyone has the feeling of emptiness and you been able to transform it into this wonderful piece means you are a very strong and talented individual. So what name would you give to this master piece?" the young man asked.
" What do you think" Julie said quite liking the way he comforted her.
"Melancholic Mountain" he said with a raised eyebrow.
"A mountain filled with loneliness and emptiness, That quite meaningful as a name. I really love it " said Julie with amusement.
" Then that's it, the painting would now be called Melancholic Mountain" He said with a pleased expression.
" Yes ,that's it. by the way ,am Julie Mathews" She said as she extended her hands with a radiant smile.
" Am sorry but I will introduce myself to you when I visit your gallery tomorrow, is that okay with you?" He said apologetically while shaking her extended hand.
" I guess you have your reasons then. I would really love it when you do visit tomorrow. I will be expecting you" she said with a smile.
" Okay, I will surely come there tomorrow" He said before excusing himself and leaving the arts exhibition with Julie staring at his disappearing back.
"Hey what you looking at?" Magret asked.
"Tell me how can a man be so handsome. I literally couldnt help looking at him when he came up to me" Julie said as she turned to look at Magret.
" were you attracted to him, by the way he looks good. I guess you wouldn't mind dating him right?"Magret teasingly asked.
" Who wouldn't want to date him, I bet you'll fall inlove with him when you meet him tomorrow" Julie said with a smile.
" so he's visiting the museum tomorrow right, Then I have to really do well in setting you guys up tomorrow as you haven't ever been in a relationship. I will also see his pretty face as you said, Did he tell you his name?"asked Magret.
" No. He said he'll introduce himself tomorrow when he comes to the gallery" Julie said.
" okay but by the way, I got some few potential buyers and am really confident about it" Magret said happily.
" okay I hope so too" Julie concluded.
The art exhibition was a huge success and even became a great pavement in Julie's career. Laura's Livestream also contributed a lot this time as many viewers got to witness Julie's skills in both language and artistry. They were also introduced to many antiques and artworks so majority of them were very impressed and even kept commenting they wanted to visit the museum.
The next day, exactly nine am, Wang Ye visited the museum for their partnership.He was the president of the best art center in China.He dealt with both exporting, importing and producing artworks. They agreed on a mutual partnership in which Julie's works would be introduced in the Chinese market and theirs in the American market. Although her gallery was new, he had faith that she would prevail and so went forth with the partnership. Julie was also happy by the partnership and even though the other party was big and famous they agreed on a 50/50 scale of profit division. Wang Ye quite liked the scenery and as he had to catch a flight back to China later that day, he left early without getting a round touring of the museum and of course he exchanged contact with both Julie and Magret as both of them had the meeting with him.He was quite captivated by Magret and she was also quite impressed by him.
Video of Julie's artwork circulated online ganering attention from many people.The Livestream really helped with publicizing the museum.
"Hello Miss Julie , you've got a visitor. " Nessa said on the line.
" What's his name?" Julie asked.
" He said I should tell you that Melancholic Mountain." Nessa replied.
" Okay he is a VIP, bring him up and please take care of him ,he is very important."Julie said through the phone.
" Yes miss" Nessa said politely before leading him to the evelator.
