Chapter 106 2 Mom is good, but that bald bastard is bad!
Upon hearing this, Holland, who had just opened the door, strode up to the executive and slapped him across the face!
The next second, Holland ripped off his sunglasses and glared fiercely at the arrogant executive:
"If you dare to insult Xie Junfei again, I can have you carried out of the Huo family mansion!"
"It's not your place to point fingers at the Huo family!"
Having worked in the arts industry for so many years, that executive inherently looked down on Holland, a businessman from the entertainment industry.
Moreover, he was a senior executive at a top gallery like "Tia," where he had been treated with deference for over a decade, and no one had ever dared to speak to him like that before.
Upon hearing Holland's words, he first touched his swollen face, then suddenly laughed:
"Mr. Huo, you've vented your anger now, but have you considered the consequences?"
"Let me put it this way: I've been running and supporting 'Tia' all these years. Without me, do you think 'Tia' could survive?"
"Xie Junfei has lost half a hundred million yuan. Do you think she can earn it back on her own? You're dreaming!"
“I have plenty of connections and resources in the art world. Without me, ‘Tia’ is nothing but bullshit!”
"I'm putting this out there right now: if I leave 'Tia' today, tomorrow, if Xie Junfei wants to invite domestic artists to hold a touring exhibition, absolutely no one will agree!"
These words were quite harsh, but as soon as they were spoken, a calm and gentle female voice interrupted:
"If no one else agrees, then I'll agree."
These words, though spoken softly, carried a powerful weight. Xie Junfei looked up abruptly and immediately saw the Second Madam, dressed simply yet elegantly.
The second wife, ignoring the shocked gaze of the executive, walked to Xie Junfei's side, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at him.
“Good child, you are a member of the Huo family. If he won’t help you, I will.”
“I happen to be holding an art exhibition in China, and I trust 'Tia's' skill level; I believe she will give me a satisfactory answer.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Junfei readily agreed, immediately grasping the Second Madam's hand, his eyes shining brightly:
"Thank you so much, Second Aunt. There's no one better than a mother in this world!"
The executive's face turned pale and extremely ugly as he saw himself being slapped in the face immediately after making those harsh words.
There was no room for him to speak anymore. He took two steps back, about to storm off in anger, when Holland stopped him with a forced smile:
"What? You just finished cursing my Huo family members on my Huo family's turf, and you actually think you can get away unscathed?"
"You really think the Huo family are all pushovers, huh?"
After saying that, Holland gave a look to the person behind him.
The burly bodyguards understood immediately, one on each side, and dragged the executive into a side room to beat him up.
The soundproofing in the old house's reception area was excellent; not a single scream from the executive could be heard.
The second madam took Xie Junfei's hand and looked the young girl up and down before nodding in satisfaction.
No wonder Huo Shen has taken a liking to her; although she is young, she is truly a beautiful woman.
While the second wife was scrutinizing Xie Junfei, Xie Junfei was also observing her discreetly.
The Second Madam's reputation is known even to those outside the art world.
As one of the few "all-around" female painters in China, she has worked on various subjects, including landscapes, flowers and birds, and figures. Her brushstrokes are vigorous and fluid, and her colors are bright and beautiful. She not only inherited the strong and powerful brushstrokes of her father, Guo Moruo, but also took into account the delicate sensibilities of a female writer. In some aspects, she has even surpassed her father.
Not to mention, not long ago, this national treasure-level artist also collaborated with a well-known female-oriented game, successfully expanding into the youth market.
Such outstanding artists, with a young market, are sought after by galleries who want to hold touring exhibitions.
Now, in order to support herself, the second wife has actually given this opportunity to her directly!
Thinking of this, Xie Junfei was moved to tears.
Second Aunt is good, but that bald bastard is bad!
She was just about to thank the Second Madam properly when, unexpectedly, the Second Madam touched her face and smiled gently.
"Good child, we are all family, no need for such formalities."
"Your second aunt likes you and is willing to help you."
After she finished speaking, she chatted gently with Xie Junfei for a while, and only left reluctantly when the Second Master urged her to leave.
After her mother left, Holland plopped down on the sofa, raising an eyebrow at Xie Junfei, who was sitting in the main seat:
"I'm curious too, why did you insist on bringing that old man here, only to get a scolding from him during the Chinese New Year?"
"If you ask me, you should just use the Huo family's resources to blacklist him in the industry."
Hearing this statement, which was exactly the same as Huo Shen's, Xie Junfei rolled her eyes in annoyance:
"Your Huo family is really something, you've been used to everything going smoothly since you were little, everyone's a domineering CEO."
"Don't just think what you think, only think what I think is truly a robber's mentality."
After speaking, Xie Junfei stood up from his office chair and unlocked his phone on the table in front of Huo Lan.
The recording interface is clearly displayed above.
Seeing Holland's surprised expression, Xie Junfei smiled, turned off the recording software, and then casually sent the file to the public relations department, who were still working overtime.
Holland stared at her with wide eyes:
"So, you deliberately brought him here, deliberately provoked him, and let him spout nonsense here?"
Xie Junfei shrugged:
"correct."
Immediately afterwards, Xie Junfei carefully analyzed his plan for Holland.
Unlike the Huo family, who had everything they wanted since childhood, Xie Junfei grew up in the Qin family and had to work hard in the business world, which had instilled in her a cautious personality.
The severe losses caused by the executives' decision-making errors were also orchestrated by her.
It is well known that art itself is not valuable; what is valuable is the artist's network and the stories behind the artworks.
After artists "produce" their works, they often choose to collaborate with galleries to make a living. The galleries then package and process the works and sell them to high society.
Simply put, the relationship between galleries and artists is essentially similar to that between convenience stores and suppliers.
As a long-established gallery in China, "Tia" has attracted many famous Chinese painters, and its annual transaction volume was astonishing ten years ago.
Until the last decade, Tia fell behind the times, and internal factional struggles became very serious. The veteran artists, who were not worthy of their positions, banded together to bully the younger artists.
The biggest problem among them is the executive who just had a fight with Xie Junfei in the office.
Taking advantage of his status and position within "Tia," he has been accumulating wealth recklessly, especially in the last two years. He has even used "Tia's" resources to curry favor with others.
Because "Tia" was previously owned by the Qin family, Xie Junfei had no absolute say in the Qin family and was too lazy to care.
But now that "Tia" is in his hands, and he happens to need connections in the art world, then sorry, this executive has to get out.
As for how to get him out, well, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. What's half a hundred million? It's not even worth one-twentieth of Tia's value.
