Chapter 548 - 548 Performance Artist
548 Performance Artist
“I came to see you guys. Are you satisfied with the environment here?” Chu Ning put her hands behind her back and looked at Crazy Stone with a smile.
Before them, the empty factory alone had an area of more than 500 square meters. After the arrival of these wandering artists, the factory regained its vitality in another way.
Chu Ning looked at the wall that was more than ten meters tall. A long ladder had been set up. At that moment, many artists who were good at painting were concentrating on painting the wall.
“Satisfied. This is our paradise!” Crazy Stone said with a flushed face.
Not only did Chu Ning provide them with a venue for their artistic creations, but she also provided them with food and accommodation. Where could they find such a kind boss?
“Hey, put away the arrogance in your hearts. Stunning Beauty is the owner of this place. We should thank her!” the artist nicknamed Carbon-based Life said loudly.
Carbon-based Life’s hair had changed its color again. When Chu Ning saw him the previous afternoon, his hair was fiery-red like flames, but now… It was very similar to the milky gray color of the factory walls.
“What! Stunning Beauty has such an identity!”
“Is this another capitalist’s game? I, Hu Tao, will never accept the coercion of capital. I want freedom!” A scantily-clad wandering artist abruptly exclaimed after hearing this.
“Come on, if you hadn’t gotten full from a day of eating here, you would have starved to death! To think you’re still showing off here!” Another wandering artist glanced at Hu Tao and said disdainfully.
“I don’t care! Life is precious, but freedom is even more valuable! I want to pack my luggage and leave this place to find the soils of freedom. Only that place will be worthy of me. Only an unfettered soul can breed brilliant art!” Hu Tao said excitedly.
“Hu Tao, do you have any luggage?” Carbon-based Life spoke up with a scornful look.
Although they were homeless, they still had musical instruments. Although they could not afford the rent, they could still earn some income from time to time. However, this Hu Tao… He was a performance artist.
“Stunning Beauty.” Crazy Stone suddenly bowed to Chu Ning.
“I hope you won’t stoop to Hu Tao’s level. He has a problem here. You know, those who engage in performance art are always a little abnormal. Which normal person would do this?” Crazy Stone pointed at his head weakly. He wanted to tell Chu Ning that Hu Tao was a lunatic.
Chu Ning had solved their problems with great difficulty and also provided them with a platform to express themselves. He did not want this to be ruined for other artists because of one person.
“Yeah, Stunning Beauty. Hu Tao is a straightforward person. He once made a bet with someone that a person could survive for a month solely by drinking water and not eating anything. Then, he really did it and almost starved to death,” Carbon-based Life added ruefully.
These wandering artists generally lived in a social circle. Since Chu Ning had asked them to recommend each other to live there, there were naturally many people who came. Moreover, it was only the first day.
“I was challenging the limits of my life! I’ve read in the newspaper that someone has done this before!” Hu Tao straightened his neck as he explained, his face red.
“Before the challenge, those people would consume sufficient fat and protein. In addition, their physical fitness is good, and they have emergency measures. If you hadn’t discovered it, I’m afraid you would have become an unknown corpse in the wilderness,” another wandering artist added.
He moved his lips, wanting to say something, but hesitated.
“Alright, Hu Tao, Mr. Hu, don’t feel burdened. I’m still young. Speaking of which, I’m only 18 this year. I should be younger than you, right? How can I be a capitalist?” Chu Ning said with a smile.
“But if I stay, it’s useless to you. It’s just a waste of your food. I can’t contribute to you,” Hu Tao said dejectedly.
“Are you in a hurry to deny yourself? I feel that as long as you persevere and do what you like to the extreme, you will definitely succeed. I believe in you,” Chu Ning suddenly said seriously.
These words were sincere. At least they were doing their best to find the meaning of life. Although Hu Tao’s behavior was difficult to understand, he did not give up on himself. He even used his life to practice what he considered art.
