Chapter 1292: The Same Truth
My precious daughter is a bit disappointing. She is in the second year of high school and can't learn any subject well. She has become a "ruffian" child who is neither good at literature nor martial arts. Usually, my daughter cries and shouts that she wants to change to art, learn fine arts, and take professional exams. The middle-aged waitress, who is also the manager of this "He Shuyuan", didn't take it seriously at first, but when she suddenly ran into a professional female painter, she was immediately attracted.
People in the service industry have always been active in their minds, which is a professional habit! They are welcoming and seeing off people all day long. There is nothing else, just that they meet a lot of people, and their life experience is a little richer.
In the medical field, the female manager knows more or less what Bian Mu is now. The painters he can contact should not be ordinary people.
The female manager knows that in this Lijin city, there are three types of people who cannot be easily offended: famous doctors, famous lawyers, and famous teachers with a good reputation.
In her opinion, the industry leaders in these three industries can easily get in touch with high-level people, and... it is easy to establish various relationships with those high-level people. If that guy does something that ordinary people are particularly troubled by, it will be a side job!
Without thinking, the female store manager hurriedly asked a waiter to build a wooden screen between Bian Mu and the other diners, and the dining atmosphere suddenly became different.
Looking back, the female store manager hurried to the kitchen to give a few instructions, asking the chef to take the trouble to make Dr. Bian's table extra careful.
People, sometimes, the face on the street is really earned by real skills!
...
The dishes began to be served. Painter Fang explained the basic principles of the three primary colors. Bian Mu's brain was quite good. He only grasped the core points and made logical abstractions at any time. As long as it was reasonable and the underlying logic was tenable, he would try to lean on the basic pharmaceutical ideas of Situ Jianqing or Director Yuan.
"According to the rules of your industry, the three colors of red, yellow, and blue have always been recognized by the industry as the basic colors that cannot be decomposed, so they are called the three primary colors. In a sense, other colorful paintings are based on the three primary colors, and other colors are added. Then... in the production of Chinese patent medicines, there may be similar compatibility rules, but... the pharmacological properties of the three Chinese medicinal materials ephedra, pinellia, and magnolia do not seem to be so mysterious! Ephedra is the main drug of traditional Chinese medicine, which is considered a major drug and is often used as the main drug. I can accept it; pinellia has flexible medicinal properties. As long as the right medicine is used, the prescriptions that can be used with it are ever-changing. I have some experience in this, but this magnolia dot... seems to be a little bit inferior..." At the end, Bian Mu couldn't help but mutter a few words.
"I know nothing about medicinal materials! It's hard to make a comment, but... intuitively, in terms of the underlying philosophical logic, there seems to be some connection between the two. Do you think... that senior has also learned painting? Moreover, it's oil painting. Maybe the old man is quite good at oil painting!" Inadvertently, Painter Fang said a few words based on his imagination.
"Huh?! That's right! Why didn't I think of it? Based on Sima Kui's age, Mr. Situ's age... should be born in the 1920s, right? Yes! Maybe it was the beginning of the 20th century, Ms. Fang! At that time, Western oil painting seemed to be quite popular in China, right?" Thinking of this, Bian Mu seemed to be quite inspired.
"It's true! There were many famous artists who went abroad to learn oil painting in that era. Not only that, Western oil painting seemed to be more popular than it is now!" Hearing this, his eyes lit up and Painter Fang smiled and responded a few words.
"Is it possible... Mr. Situ has a rich family, not only has he studied abroad, but also has a wide range of hobbies, and even... he briefly studied medical chemistry in a foreign university! Right! It should be like this. If he didn't have the foundation of Western medical chemistry, even if he was a rare genius in a century, he would never have come up with such a set of pharmaceutical theories of "three original drugs". Now I think about it, back then, the old man was in the experiment... What a huge workload it must have been?" Thinking of this, Bian Mu couldn't help but look a little lost.
"Hearing what you said, that senior is really amazing. For example, when I paint, I am used to preparing two canvases, one large and one small. The small one is used for color matching and mixing pigments. The palette feels bad, and there are still differences in touch. I use two as a unit, compare multiple times, try repeatedly, and brush the tone! It takes at least six weeks to finish a painting. Sometimes, it may drag on for half a year!" Painter Fang subconsciously chatted a few words.
Painter Fang was born into a family of scholars and had lived a very comfortable life since childhood. If it weren't for an unfortunate marriage, she would have continued her simple, peaceful and happy life for a long time. People like her have pure talents and can often see the essence of things in a short time.
"When we try to make medicine, sometimes we also mix two by two, then try another dose to verify it, and then try again... This is repeated, and during this period, I need several large notebooks just to take notes... It makes sense... What you call the three primary colors, plus elements such as light and shadow, and spatial composition, that thing is almost an infinite value after permutations and combinations, right?"
"It's not that I can't say that there is an infinite amount, at least I can't reach that level. Theoretically, we can create infinite themes, show infinite artistic understanding, and vent infinite emotions through three-dimensional construction and flexible use of light and shadow, color... In fact, in the process of creation, the scope is quickly stereotyped and relatively solidified. For example, I am more accustomed to using yellow, magenta, and cyan as the three primary colors. This is the result of the evolution of printing technology. You know, my family's economic conditions are actually very average. When painting, I have to consider selling it at a high price. The Lu family looks rich on the surface, but in fact... they are very stingy when spending money. As for me, my self-esteem is stronger than that of ordinary people. Unless my son needs money, I usually won't use their money. Therefore, I have to consider the market's acceptance of my paintings. As a result, I have borrowed a lot of advanced printing technology and color matching methods. Don't tell me, before I got sick, my paintings were always selling well." Painter Fang no longer regards Bian Mu as an outsider. She is not very taboo about things that belong to her inner voice. She talks about whatever she thinks.
Bian Mu listened quietly, having long forgotten that he came here to eat.
"Ouch! The food is getting cold, eat slowly!" Painter Fang stopped thinking and began to persuade them to eat.
The food carefully prepared by the kitchen was naturally more delicious. The two of them ate very happily and talked about very professional topics. The relationship between the two of them became much closer.
The phone rang, it was Bian Mu's phone. It was an unfamiliar number, from the local area.
Bian Mu's phone was specially set up by Fan Sanqiao, so he almost never received fraudulent calls, so Bian Mu raised his hand to answer it.
"Doctor Bian! It's me! Legal Li, Liu Xiangyang's side is completely settled. We have handled the hardware erasure of computer hard drives, motherboards, etc. Don't worry, Liu Xiangyang has no background, and he should not dare to ruin your business in the future on the technical level!" On the other end of the phone, Mr. Li, the leader of the negotiation team sent by the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, reported the results of the negotiation.
"Thank you, thank you! Thank you for your hard work. If it's convenient another day, I'll treat you! Please arrange it." On the other end of the phone, Bian Mu quickly said a few polite words.
"Okay, if you don't have any instructions, we will go back and report to Mr. Zhong!"
"Okay, thank you again! You helped me a lot!"
"You are too polite, Doctor Bian. I won't bother you any more!" After saying that, Mr. Li, the legal affairs officer, hung up the phone.
