Zhao Cheng'an worked quickly. Before Shi Dadan could finish eating all his bread, he successfully bought the painting and even brought along a staff member, supposedly one of the organizers of the exhibition and also a student at the art academy.
The staff member came specifically to thank Qin Huai for his strong support of the exhibition and to discuss the delivery time with him.
Only then did Qin Huai realize that the paintings from the exhibition couldn't just be taken after purchase. The exhibition would continue for a few more days. After the Hangzhou exhibition, there would be another in Beiping, as it was a collaboration among several schools, and they would display it in the cheapest galleries in each school's location for a few days.
Of course, if Qin Huai really liked the painting and was eager to have it, he could take it directly.
If Qin Huai wasn't in a rush, they would settle on a time to mail the painting to him after the exhibition ended.
Shipping is free.
