Who is calling me at this time?

Confused, Ji Chen returned to his desk and was slightly surprised to see the caller's note.

It was actually the master.

Without hesitation, Ji Chen picked up the phone on the table, answered the call, and took the initiative to greet him.

"Master."

The other people in the dormitory thought it was Ji Chen's girlfriend calling, so they all looked at Ji Chen silently.

Hearing the name from his mouth, they felt bored instantly.

It was heard that Ji Chen had a chess master, but they were not interested in chess.

At this time, Xia Zhonggeng on the phone heard the voice of his little apprentice, and the smile on his face became more kind, but his tone was pretending to be unhappy, "Xiao Ji, you are such a low-key kid! You are so good at ink painting, but I didn't even listen to you."

Ji Chen was slightly stunned when he heard what Xia Zhonggeng said, but he quickly reacted. It should be that the principal knew about the painting of winter willow and sparrows. After all, his painting seemed to have accidentally caused quite a stir at the art exhibition.

And the master likes calligraphy and painting so much, it is probably the principal who told him.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen smiled and said, "I just dabble in it a little, it's not worth mentioning."

"Xiao Ji, don't be modest, just based on your painting of winter willow and sparrows, the level is higher than that of the Chinese painting master Lin Changsheng!" Xia Zhonggeng did not hesitate to praise him.

He also has a lot of Lin Changsheng's paintings in his hands. Although they are all excellent works, they are far inferior to his little apprentice's!

Ji Chen smiled when he heard what Xia Zhonggeng said, and said, "Master, do you like this painting?"

Xia Zhonggeng did not comment, and immediately replied, "I like it, how could I not like it? This is the first time I have seen such an excellent work."

Ji Chen continued with a smile, "Master, if you like it, I will bring the painting to you after the exhibition is over."

Speaking of which, he has been worshipping Xia Zhonggeng as his master for so long, but he has not formally given him any gifts.

If the old man likes this painting, it would be fine to give it to him to make him happy.

After all, this is not only his master, but also his future grandfather. He must love the old man and treat him well.

When Xia Zhonggeng heard what Ji Chen said, he was stunned! He was flattered.

Xiao Ji actually wants to give him the painting of winter willow and sparrows?

This, this is not allowed!

Let alone other things, if he really likes this painting, he can buy it for one million or eight hundred thousand without blinking an eye.

Some fanatics even offer millions.

He likes it, but he doesn't want to take advantage of his apprentice.

Maybe the kid doesn't know how valuable his painting is now, so he can't cheat him.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhonggeng continued, "Xiao Ji, your painting is very valuable for collection. You can't give it to me like this, but I really like it. I can give you a suitable price and buy it."

Xia Zhonggeng didn't want to talk about money with Ji Chen, but this painting is not worth tens of thousands.

He is just Ji Chen's master, and the kid is only 19 years old. How can he feel embarrassed to give him such an expensive gift?

Ji Chen can understand Xia Zhonggeng's thoughts, but how can he accept the money of his future grandfather?

And he can see that Xia Zhonggeng is really good to him, so it is even more impossible for him to accept his money.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen pretended to be unhappy and said, "Master, it's too polite for you to mention money to me. No matter how much this painting is worth, it's my intention. I'm giving it to you voluntarily. Anyway, I can't sell it to you."

"This..."

This is the first time that Xia Zhonggeng has heard Ji Chen speak to him in such an annoyed tone. It's obvious that talking about money makes him unhappy.

And he really likes this painting. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will accept your kindness first. Thank you, Xiao Ji."

Since this child gave him such an expensive gift and was unwilling to accept the money, he would give him a set of real estate in Jiangcheng that he had bought privately if he had the chance.

Anyway, he has saved a lot of Wanwan's dowry, so he doesn't need these millions.

Thinking of his granddaughter's dowry, Xia Zhonggeng couldn't help but feel sad again. It was such a pity that Ji Chen, such an excellent child, couldn't be his grandson-in-law...

When Ji Chen heard Xia Zhonggeng agree, he smiled and said, "Then it's settled. I'll send it to you after the exhibition ends tomorrow."

Xia Zhonggeng said readily, "Okay, come over for dinner then, and I'll cook a table of delicious food for you."

"Okay, but I may not be here until after seven o'clock. You can eat first, and I'll eat when I get here."

The art exhibition award ceremony will be held at five o'clock tomorrow. As an exhibitor, heStudents must not be absent. It will probably be after seven o'clock when the ceremony is over. It should be quite late when they get to Xia Zhonggeng's place.

He didn't want the old man to wait for him with an empty stomach.

"It's okay. I'll do it later. Then you can come with your master's wife and Wanwan. It will be more lively when you eat together."

Ji Chen didn't know what to say after hearing what Xia Zhonggeng said. He could only smile and say, "Okay!"

After making an agreement, the two said a few more words before ending the call.

Yun Chuan had been paying attention to Ji Chen since he heard him talking about the painting. When he saw him hang up the phone, he immediately came over and said, "Old Ji, did you give the painting away?"

Ji Chen put the phone back on the table, plugged in the charger, and said, "Yes, my master likes it, so I will definitely give it to him. I won't sell this painting. I will tell Mr. Lin in person tomorrow."

Although Ji Chen had not promised Mr. Lin to sell the painting to him before, he did say that he would give priority to him if he wanted to sell it after the exhibition. Now that he has decided not to sell it, he should also let him know in person. After all, he can see that Mr. Lin really likes his work.

After hearing what Ji Chen said, Yun Chuan could only nod his head, although he felt a little sorry for his master. "Okay, I'll contact him tomorrow."

He couldn't help but admire Ji Chen again, "Old Ji, you are really bold. You gave your master a painting worth more than one million without saying anything."

At this time, the other people in the dormitory heard what Yun Chuan said, and they also reacted one by one, with shocked faces.

Fan Zhuo was so shocked that his chin almost fell on the keyboard. He looked at Ji Chen, "Old Ji, you gave your painting to your master? Isn't this the master you just recognized?"

After all, this is 1.1 million!

Not 100,000!

Now, gifts for elders start at one million?

Then he has been typing for ten years, and he can't give a gift!

Zhao Ran was sitting on the bed playing ball, and the basketball on his finger flew away in shock. He stared at Ji Chen blankly, "Fuck, Old Ji is too willful, 1.1 million directly for a newly recognized chess master?"

Ji Chen continued to look for clothes to change, and said, "This is not something that can be measured by money, this is my intention for the old man, okay!"

After all, Xia Zhonggeng is not only his master, but also the grandfather of his future daughter-in-law. If the old man likes it, let alone one, ten paintings are fine.

Of course, even if it is ten paintings, he has to draw them when he is inspired. Only such works have souls, and that is true art.

It is not like fashion design, which is purposefully created and designed, which is not true art.

At this time.

A certain system with a negative existence feels relieved!

The host finally realized it!
