Chapter 218 The Excited Purchasing Group

Seeing Smith's impatient expression, Zhang Junping laughed.

No one wants to be recognized by others, and painters naturally hope that their paintings will be recognized and sought after by the world.

Just like a writer, he hopes that more people will like the stories he has worked so hard to create.

"This is my painting. I'm sorry that I didn't have time to frame it." After Zhang Junping got in the car, he handed the painting to Smith.

"Let me take a look!" Smith slowly opened the rolled up canvas.

"Oh! My God! God bless you, this painting is so beautiful!" Smith exclaimed loudly: "Oh my God, you painted my little princess so beautifully! When I saw your painting, I seemed to see

My little princess acts coquettishly in front of me."

Holding Zhang Junping's painting, Smith couldn't help praising it and dancing around to express his opinions.

Fortunately, Smith was not driving the car himself, otherwise there would have been a car accident.

The car flew quickly and soon drove out of the city and arrived at a manor in the suburbs.

Why do rich people live in apartments and villas?

The really rich people live in manors.

The place where Smith lives is on the lakeside where luxury estates are clustered.

There are mountains and rivers nearby. Even according to Chinese Feng Shui theory, this is a livable place where tigers and dragons sit on top of each other, and Feng Shui gathers together.

"This is the talented painter I was talking about, Zhang from China!

This is my wife, Melissa, and this is my daughter, Julia." Smith introduced Zhang Junping to his family.

"Hello, we like Chinese Zhang Qian's paintings very much!" Melissa smiled kindly at Zhang Junping.

Melissa is in her forties, has an elegant temperament and is well-maintained. Her figure has not deformed at all, but the years have quietly carved some marks on the corners of her eyes.

But time has not taken away her beauty. She is very beautiful, a bit like Kristen Stewart, but of course her figure is even hotter than Kristen.

"Hello, my name is Julia. Thank you for painting me so beautifully!" Julia greeted Zhang Junping politely while looking at Zhang Junping curiously.

Probably because he looks different from them.

Julia is beautiful, like a doll.

Wrong, Julia was originally a doll of foreigners.

He has golden hair and big blue eyes, as if he can talk and is full of aura.

"Hello!" Zhang Junping nodded politely to the two of them, "Julia, you are more beautiful than my painting."

"Melissa, Julia, do you know? Zhang gave me a surprise today!

He drew a new picture for you, making you even more beautiful!" Smith said with a smile beside him.

"Really? Where is it, let me see it quickly!" Julia couldn't help but jumped and shouted when she heard that she was painted more beautifully.

"Here it is! Be careful, don't break it!" Smith took the painting out of the car and handed it to Julia.

"Wow! You're so beautiful! Mom, mom, look, you're so beautiful! You seem to be alive!" Julia shouted to Melissa excitedly.

The little girl is only four or five years old, so it is normal to have a little ambiguity in her speech.

"Really? Let me see!" Melissa said with a smile.

"Oh my god! Did you draw this? Oh my god, I can't believe it, you... Zhang, you look like you are only in your twenties!" Melissa exclaimed incoherently, covering her mouth.

"It was the kindness in your eyes, Mrs. Smith, and Julia's innocence that touched my soul and inspired me to create.

After I finished painting that painting, I always felt that my level was not good enough and I did not express your beauty perfectly, so I painted desperately and thought about what I failed to do well.

Finally, at a certain moment, I caught this inspiration and painted this work that I am personally satisfied with." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

When talking to Europeans, you cannot follow the Chinese habit of being modest, otherwise misunderstandings may easily occur. It is best to speak directly.

"Zhang, you are great! You will definitely be a great artist! A famous painter like Picasso, Paul, Giotto, and Leonardo da Vinci!

No! I feel that you are more powerful than them. At your age, they can't draw as well as you!" Melissa said excitedly.

"Thank you Mrs. Smith for the compliment! They are all goals that I strive to catch up with! I also hope to surpass them one day." Zhang Junping bowed slightly to Melissa to express his gratitude.

"Yes, I believe you will surpass them!" Melissa said with certainty.

Zhang Junping had dinner at Smith's house and helped Julia paint a painting.

No family portrait was taken because Smith said their son and eldest daughter were not home.

It would be unfair to paint a picture of the whole family without the two of them.

Only then did Zhang Junping find out that Smith's son and eldest daughter were already in college.

The little daughter was a gift given to them by God after fifteen years.

Zhang Junping didn't mention anything about work during the whole process, and just chatted with Smith about the history of Prussia.

I talked about the Roman Empire, the Germanic peoples, and the Kingdom of Prussia.

There is also international current affairs news.

The two had a very lively chat, and Smith was greatly impressed by Zhang Junping's knowledge.

Because even he didn't know much about many things about the Kingdom of Prussia, and he had only heard of some.

However, Zhang Junping was able to quote from classics.

Zhang Junping also introduced China to Smith and his family.

It tells the story of China's past history and achievements, and does not shy away from what happened in modern times.

At around nine o'clock, Zhang Junping said goodbye and left Smith's manor.

Smith sent a car to take Zhang Junping back to the hotel.

Zhang Junping returned to his room and was just about to wash up when the doorbell rang.

When I opened the door, I saw it was Liu Jingshan.

"Liu Bureau, it's so late and you haven't rested yet?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"I just want to rest!

If you don't come back, who can sleep?

Hurry up! Mayor Zhou is still waiting for you to report!" Liu Jingshan urged.

"Liu Bureau, how do you feel about visiting the Volkswagen Group today?" Zhang Junping asked as he had nothing to say on the way.

“Feeling? It feels like there is a huge gap between us and developed countries!

It took us fifteen years to acquire our own nuclear weapons.

However, I feel that if we are given another thirty years, our industry will not be able to catch up with developed countries." Liu Jingshan said with some shock.

"Liu Bureau, it all depends on manpower!

If we can't catch up, we still have our children, and our children will still have children.

There are endless descendants, and one day we will catch up." Zhang Junping comforted him with a smile.

"Get out of here!

To catch up with a capitalist country, you still call me Foolish Old Man to Move Mountains!

Let me tell you, it is understandable that our generation cannot catch up.

If your generation can't catch up, then you are sinners!" Liu Jingshan cursed with red eyes.

Zhang Junping touched his nose and said what he said was fine. Why did he still curse?

Why do people of your generation and mine feel that you are taking advantage of me?

"Liu Bureau, you are still young, and you will definitely live to see the day when we catch up with capitalist countries." Zhang Junping responded with a smile.

"I just did not pass the responsibility to future generations, but I said that our socialist cause will be endless for future generations."

While talking, we arrived at Mayor Zhou's room.

Mayor Zhou was wearing pajamas and let Zhang Junping and Liu Jingshan into the room.

This is also a way for leaders to express closeness.

"Have you met Mr. Smith?"

"See you!"

"How was the talk?"

"Mr. Smith invited me to his home today.

We didn’t talk about work matters.”

"You, what a great opportunity! Why don't you know how to seize the opportunity!" Liu Jingshan said anxiously from the side.
