Chapter 123: Inside Story
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The next day was the weekend. Qi Wenshi brought Qin Churou to the Painting Association.
Qi Wenshi was indeed not as good as before. However, in the painting field, many people still had to call him a senior.
However, in the eyes of some respected artists, they looked down on Qi Wenshi.
When Qi Wenshi came over, the members of the Painting Association in H City recognized him and respectfully welcomed him in.
“Call your chairman, Wu Chong, over here,” Qi Wenshi ordered.
“The chairman is at home.” The member was in a difficult position.
Today was the weekend, and only some members of the Association were left on duty here. Most of them were staying at home on vacation.
Without any special circumstances, the chairman of the Association would not come over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Call him and tell him that I, Qi Wenshi, am looking for him.” Qi Wenshi’s face was stern.
“Alright, I’ll go and ask him.”
The Association member went to make a call. He was very dissatisfied with Qi Wenshi. Who was he showing his ugly face to?
When Wu Chong heard that, he frowned. “Alright, I’ll go over right away.”
He had read the newspaper from yesterday. If nothing went wrong, Qi Wenshi was probably here to interrogate him and push his disciple up.
It was easy to deal with others, but this Qi Wenshi...
Wu Chuang was thinking about countermeasures.
The Association members poured a glass of water for Qi Wenshi and Qin Churou.
Qi Wenshi asked unintentionally, “I heard that a dark horse appeared in the selection of the Youth Painting Competition this time and snatched a spot.”
The association members could probably guess what Qi Wenshi was talking about.
A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, but his tone was very respectful. “It’s true. She’s an artist called Sheng. The Chairman values her paintings very much.”
“Are her paintings very good?” Qi Wenshi drank from the cup in his hand, his tone very disdainful.
Qin Churou was also listening attentively. Her hand that was holding the cup was very tight.
The Association member replied, “I did not participate in the selection this time. I am not very sure. However, since the Chairman has confirmed it, I think it won’t be too bad.”
“Heh, is that so?” Qi Wenshi’s tone was very mocking. “I hope it’s not for some other reason. After all, I’ve seen a lot of this.”
The Association member’s expression was stiff.
Qi Wenshi’s words and tone were all saying that the Association was not clean and that there was an inside story.
By criticizing their Association member like this, the Association member also lost his patience. “Elder Qi, I still have something to do. I’ll go and get busy. The Chairman will come over later.”
After finding an excuse, he left.
Only Qi Wenshi and Qin Churou were left in the reception room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQin Churou looked at Qi Wenshi and asked nervously, “Teacher, did she rely on her own strength to come here? If she’s really that powerful, wouldn’t it be bad for us to be like this?”
Qi Wenshi glanced at Qin Churou. “We’re just here to see if there’s any inside help. It’s fine. Besides–”
After a pause, Qi Wenshi sneered. “No matter what, you have to participate in the Youth Painting Competition.”
Those who were able to participate in the Youth Painting Competition were all outstanding painters from all over the world. Even if they didn’t win an award, they would still be noticed.
This was a great shortcut for painters to become famous.
Qi Wenshi would not let go of this opportunity.
Qin Churou also understood Qi Wenshi’s meaning. Regardless of whether there was a backer or not, she would still have a spot in the Youth Painting Competition.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
Not long after, Wu Chong also came over.
“Elder Qi.” Wu Chong’s attitude was respectful.
In the current market, the price of Wu Chong’s paintings was much higher than Qi Wenshi’s. In the end, Qi Wenshi became famous earlier than him and was once a Master of a generation. Wu Chong still had to treat Qi Wenshi with respect.
“This time, the candidates for our city’s Youth Painting Competition are Sheng and Wei Cheng. I don’t have any questions about Wei Cheng, but I’ve never heard of Sheng. I wonder how her painting caught your eye, Chairman Wu?” Qi Wenshi said sarcastically.
He almost said that Wu Chong was biased toward Sheng.
