The medicine jar is loved and abused

In addition to the prizes, the top ten works will also be exhibited in this competition, but only the top three are marked.Although this competition is not considered public or official, it is still quite large because of the status of the Qin family in Haicheng and the support of major art circles.

Exhibiting works in this event still has a certain meaning.

Shen Ning felt that he didn't pay much attention to the ranking, but when he actually got there, he suddenly became a little nervous.

Although he didn't express it verbally, he is still quite confident in his skills. As the hidden heir of Wu Shuofeng (another world plane) and his mother's direct disciple, coupled with the praise he received when he was a child, he is self-conscious. He is already at the forefront of the road of oil painting.If you tell him now that he is actually worthless, it is estimated that his entire world view will collapse.

The boy beside him suddenly moved stiffly, Xie Yin turned his head: "Nervous?"

Shen Ning licked his lips: "A little bit, just a little bit."

A little bit of a million.

Xie Yin gently gave him a hand on his lower back, supporting him to straighten his chest, and the two walked slowly towards Mrs. Qin who was oncoming.

Mrs. Qin came out from the door, smiling all over her face, and said, "You guys came just in time, I'm about to hang the painting."

She looked at Shen Ning who was smiling slightly beside Xie Yin, and said meaningfully: "Mr. Shen, you should take a good look, maybe everyone will become companions in the future."

Shen Ning's heart beat wildly, and he smiled and said, "Thank you Madam Qin for your guidance."

"Okay, I won't bother those who appreciate the paintings, I'm going to entertain other guests first."

Mrs. Qin walked towards others with a smile, and Qiao Yuyan blinked at Shen Ning when she passed by, Shen Ning's heart slowly settled down, and she raised her head and said:

"Mr. Xie, let's go in."

"it is good."

They still had to go through several exhibition halls, and Shen Ning realized that he was in a completely different mood this time than when he came back last time.

The last time he admired famous paintings by famous artists purely from the perspective of an outsider, he only saw the good paintings with every look.But at this moment, he couldn't help but take a critical look, glanced at them, and understood the styles and personalities of several masters in his heart.

While watching and walking, they finally arrived at the exhibition hall prepared for the contestants. His eyes slowly and firmly scanned the works on the wall. Before he could see the target, Zhan Bai shouted at the other end near the end. come out:

"That's amazing, Shen Ning, you are No.3!"

As if a boulder collapsed suddenly, the boy's heart suddenly loosened.However, his happy mood did not last for a few seconds, because in the next moment, he frowned and walked to Zhan Bai's side, looking at the other two paintings above him.

No.3 is a matter of course, but what kind of painting is in front of him.Shen Ning looked indifferent, but there was a bit of rebellion in his eyes.

The one marked No.1 is a young painter who he has seen in the brochure and has had a solo exhibition.This is a painter of the neoclassical school. Neoclassicism and classicism pursue similarity in technique and picture performance, and both pursue dignified and elegant beauty.

The biggest difference between this young painter and Li Changya is that Li Changya has a sense of beauty that transcends reality in the figure or posture, sublimating the figure or scenery, which is not only the innate perception of beauty, but also the expression of technique.And this painter lacks a little bit of expression of a higher level of beauty, which may even be difficult to make up for with techniques.But other than that, it's hard to find flaws in this work.

The second place is a characteristic romantic oil painting, the theme of which is "The Great River".

In the painting, the Yangtze River rushes and whizzes like an endless stream of historical hymns. At the end of the river, countless people with different postures and faces are like sparks, like a grain of rice, or an ant, either standing or chasing the long river.Under the rendering of the huge river, they are nothing more than a little weeds on the side of the road, insignificant and insignificant.But these weeds support each other, push each other, and continue to climb forward tenaciously, as if one day they will walk from the bottom of the river to the front of the big river.

Shen Ning stayed in front of this painting for a long time. It is true that the technique and color expression of this painting are still flawed, but for romanticism, emotion is the first element.From this point on, it's almost perfect.

Shen Ning looked at the painting until the emotion in his heart slowly cooled down, then he moved two steps to the side and saw his own painting.

Before seeing other people's paintings, he felt that he had already shown all the emotions he wanted to express, including skills.After looking at those two paintings...

"What, did you feel ashamed after seeing other people's paintings?" A sharp voice interjected.

"No, quite the opposite."

Shen Ning turned around and looked at Li Changya who was standing behind him at some point:

"The first painting lacks a deeper understanding of beauty, which is his fatal flaw. The second large block of color is used too much, the details are not filled enough, and the technique needs to be refined. In summary, I am the one who has the best skills and aesthetic emotions. perfect person."

"And I'm not comparing aesthetics with No.1, and comparing skills with No.2. I just surpass them in everything."

"Oh, is that so?" Li Changya looked at the arrogant Shen Ning and said:

"Then why are you No.3?"

Shen Ning shrugged: "Then I don't know, whatever."

"The appreciation of beauty is a very personal thing. Maybe the judges just can't fully feel the emotions of my works. I don't care much."

"Sounds so nice, do you want to pass all the responsibility to the judges?"

"Whatever you want to say, anyway, I already know my level, and there are two works above me. They are indeed very impactful works. Although I don't think my work is inferior to them, the judges want to arrange it this way. Let's arrange it like this."

"If only everyone could 'know the general' like you, the work of the police could be cut in half."

"That is, compared with Mr. Li Changya, I am indeed very 'understanding'."

His words were so ironic that Li Changya squinted her eyes unconsciously.

"Are you mocking me?"

Shen Ning: "Yes."

"..."

Li Changya became angry unknowingly: "You still think your own painting is the best? Look at your painting..."

The two stood in front of the painting like this, arguing as if no one else was there.Standing in front of another painting on display, Wu Shuofeng, who was forced to admire his apprentice's masterpiece with his old friend, couldn't help passing through the crowd, and cast his eyes on the two people who were arguing fiercely.

So young, so full of vigor, such vigorous vitality, what kind of future will the domestic oil painting industry be led by these young people?

......

"Who is that young man?"

"You mean Li Changya?"

"No, I'm talking about the person who quarreled with him. Li Changya is notoriously aloof from his young age. When did he get so close to others?"

"It seems to be the third oil painting painter. I just heard someone call him Shen Ning."

"He is Shen Ning, so young!" The man couldn't hide his surprise in his tone.

"I like his painting very much, I can feel the unique charm..."

"With such a pen force at such a young age, why don't you collect his paintings before he is famous..."

"Go, go ask Mrs. Qin."

The two behind them talked in a low voice while walking, and quickly walked outside.Zhan Bai looked around, it wasn't just these two people, there were many people in the hall pointing in Shen Ning's direction, as if they were very curious about this young painter.

Zhan Bai let out a hey, with a fresh expression on his face.

"I didn't expect Shen Ning to win the ranking. No.3 is pretty good. I checked. The first two are in their early thirties. They have been painting for a while. Shen Ning is considered a hit."

He tilted his head, and said: "Although his painting is not yet famous, it still feels uncomfortable for people to sell it at a low price. Or I will collect it myself and sell it when he becomes famous. I won't take advantage of him. I will take it back." My cost price is just fine."

Although he now pays at most 30 to [-] yuan for painting, which is not as expensive as his Ferrari tires, but gifts are gifts, and business is business.

Xie Yin said lightly: "He hasn't sold the painting yet, if you want to buy it, tell him yourself."

"How about I don't buy it, although he is not famous yet, but he painted it after all, just hang it in your living room or study..."

Du Mingzhou's face was slightly pale, his eyes passed through most of the exhibition hall, like a poisonous snake entering and leaving a damp cave, staring coldly at the boy in front of a painting who was chatting with a young man named a genius who was only a few years apart .Two well-dressed people approached them and started talking with Shen Ning.

Shen Ning's expression was leisurely, his manner was generous, and there was a trace of calmness on his face, as if he was born to be suitable for such a scene.

Du Mingzhou recalled in his ears what a friend of his who was engaged in art said when he was driving back that day:

"The creator of this painting is skilled and his work is full of aura. In time, he will definitely become a new star in the painting world."

In time...

How could he wait, how could he wait, Xie Yin had already made many extraordinary actions for him, how could he wait for that person to grow up!

Du Mingzhou's eyes passed through the disgusting existence, and he scanned the hall, suddenly his eyes fixed, and he looked at a handsome young man walking from outside.

The young man was still chatting and joking with his companion just now, when he turned his head and met Du Mingzhou's sight, he was slightly taken aback, a trace of fear flashed across his face, and he lowered his head evasively.

Du Mingzhou's face suddenly turned cold.He watched the young man hide in the farthest place from him, trying to pretend to look at the painting calmly, not daring to meet his gaze at all.Until his eyes finally moved to the painting marked "No. 3", the young man's eyes flashed with astonishment, but other than that, there was no other change.

Du Mingzhou's expression finally turned cold, he turned his head and forced a smile to Xie Zhan and the two, and said:

"I'll go to another exhibition hall to have a look."

Zhan Bai waved his hand: "Go, go."

Du Mingzhou walked out of the exhibition hall with a sullen face, and followed a young man not far away. The young man seemed to have noticed that his back was stiff. Drag to the stairwell.

"Mr. Du, Mr. Du!" Xiao Jin screamed in panic, his hand accustomed to holding a pen couldn't break free from Du Mingzhou's shackles.

Du Mingzhou kicked open the door of the stairwell and threw Xiao Jin inside. His ashen face could no longer maintain his handsome demeanor, he almost roared angrily:

"Xiao Jin, do you dare to betray me? Do you think your family can survive this difficulty? Without my help, your Xiao family will never get up again in Haicheng!"

"Mr. Du, Mr. Du..." Xiao Jin looked at him in fear, as if he was about to cry:

"I don't dare, I really don't dare." As he spoke, he moved cautiously to the side, trying to keep himself away from the stairs, lest the man opposite him be unhappy and kick him down.

"I really don't have enough time in two days. You don't know oil painting, so it's too late to draw a similar painting in such a short time. Moreover, my skills are not as good as Shen Ning's, so I can't draw it at all..."

"Do you think I don't understand?" Du Mingzhou interrupted his explanation, his eyes turned cold, and the viscous chill made Xiao Jin shiver violently, as if something disgusting was licking his cheek.

"I don't need you to copy the exact same one, I don't even need you to draw, you just need to take a draft and say that he copied your idea, I just want you to mess around so that he can't explain clearly in public, and let him lose the opportunity to exhibit! Can't you do this?"

"Didn't you do a good job of seducing Xie Yin in front of so many people?! It's also a nonsense thing, why can't you do it this time!"

Du Mingzhou's eyes turned red, his voice suddenly sank, and his eyes stared at Xiao Jin like an inorganic creature:

"You can't do it, or you won't do it."

Xiao Jin was about to cry from his fright, his eyes flickered as if he was looking for a safe passage, and suddenly his expression was fixed, and he shouted loudly: "Mr. Xie! Mr. Xie, save me!"

Du Mingzhou suddenly turned his head, the heavy door was pushed open from the outside, Xie Yin and Zhan Bai's figures appeared outside the door, Xie Yin frowned slightly, as if he didn't like the environment in the stairwell, and Zhan Bai had a complicated expression on his face.

Du Mingzhou grew up in what environment, he knew what happened with just one look.

Xiao Jin quickly ran to the door in a few steps, Zhan Bai pushed him behind in disgust, he shrank his shoulders, looked at the two opposing sides, and ran away quickly.

At the stairs, Du Mingzhou turned around slowly.

His face was pale, his expression was gloomy and gloomy, completely different from Mr. Du, who used to laugh and hang out with others, or be cheerful, unrestrained and suave.He stared at Xie Yin with dark eyes, as if he didn't even see Zhan Bai beside him.

"You already knew?"

Xie Yin said lightly: "You know what? You are targeting Shen Ning."

"If this was the case, I would have known about it a long time ago. I'm just puzzled. Since you are willing to target him at the risk of being discovered by me and displeasing me, why didn't you tell me directly."

Du Mingzhou laughed bitterly, and said, "I told you, will you promise me?"

Xie Yin said calmly: "Did you think I would agree to you after doing these things? Or do you think I will ignore your behavior."

"Why can't it? As long as you don't talk about it and I don't say it, we can still stay the same and have a win-win cooperation." He opened his arms, smiled indifferently, his eyes were crazy and neurotic, just like what they said The matter is indeed insignificant, and their current confrontation has never happened.

Xie Yin just shook his head and said calmly:

"I'm not you, Mingzhou, I won't be so cowardly."

Certain words in this sentence touched Du Mingzhou, his pupils shrank for a moment, and he couldn't bear to shout:

"You say I'm cowardly? Xie Yin, I'm all for you!"

"Xie Yin, don't you have a heart? How many things have I done for you these years? You say I'm cowardly? Yes, I dare not speak out about my feelings, because I'm afraid of destroying our existing relationship, then It's because I care about you! But how can you say that I'm cowardly? Without me, would you be able to go so smoothly all these years?"

"Don't say that you pay for me unilaterally. From the beginning to the end, we are a win-win relationship."

Xie Yin lowered his voice slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"I'm just an ordinary businessman, doing business seriously to develop the local economy. As a member of the local business management, you support and help me. There is no personal relationship involved."

Du Mingzhou laughed wildly, almost crying.

"There is no personal relationship involved here. Xie Yin, how dare you say that? If you didn't expect me to help you, how could you tolerate me so much? I knew it when I entered your circle. You, Xie Yin, seem to be You can play with anyone, but in fact, you only regard Zhan Bai as a friend in your heart, and this is because Zhan Bai has been with you since childhood."

"But you are very tolerant of me. Anyone who sees me will think that he is your good friend Xie Yin. Isn't this just your deliberate guidance? Xie Yin, if you want to break things up now, don't you be afraid -"

His words were silently stuck, and in the next second, his expression changed drastically.

"My dad is going to be transferred to another place..." He vaguely remembered the news that his dad suddenly told them when he came home a few nights ago. Although it was not clear yet, he had already received the relevant news.

He stared at the man in front of him who was still calm.

"Xie Yin, what did you do to my father?"

"I didn't do anything to your father."

"It's just an ordinary job change."

"Ordinary job changes... Xie Yin, because I like you, you don't know how smooth you have been in the past few years. Now you are throwing us away just because of a lover, you know what you are doing What's the matter?"

Xie Yin's expression remained unchanged, but his tone slightly increased:

"As I said, I'm just doing business seriously, but I think the government will support any businessman who helps the local economy."

Du Mingzhou looked at Xie Yin with a stranger's gaze, as if he knew him again.After a while, he chuckled twice, and said: "I didn't even know that you, Xie Yin, are still such a lover."

"No, no, you have always been a lover. I heard about you not long after I came to Haicheng. I almost fell out with my family because of a boyfriend. Maybe it was because of this legend that I started to pay attention to you. I It's really..."

He laughed foolishly twice again, this time, he laughed at himself.

"I lost, Xie Yin, I never thought I would lose to that brat. He has nothing but a face, which is just ordinary..."

He paused suddenly, his eyes flickered, as if he remembered something.

The next moment, he raised his head, and his face had returned to calm.

He said coldly: "Are we finished now? We won't meet again until my father leaves, right?"

Xie Yin: "I hope so."

"Xie Yin—" Du Mingzhou walked out of the door and passed him by:

"You will be punished."

"You will."

......

After Du Mingzhou left, Zhan Bai loosened the buttons on his neckline, looking uncomfortable.

"Brother, tell me, if I knew Ming Zhou liked you, why didn't he say it? If he said it, at least I could comfort him..."

"He doesn't need to be comforted. And Ah Bai—" Xie Yin looked at the younger brother he had grown up with since he was a child, and said:

"Du Mingzhou was not our friend from the very beginning. He was only a person with interests. If you call all those who have interests with you friends as friends, you will be the one who gets hurt in the end."

......

On the other end, after Shen Ning had quarreled with Li Changya and dealt with two future clients who were talking to him, he was looking for the person who came with him, when a person with a vague impression suddenly appeared in his vision.

The man walked towards himself.

"Hello, Shen Ning. Do you remember me?"

Shen Ning searched hard in the memory bank.

"...ah... well, don't remember."

The young man smiled and said, "I am Xiao Jin."

Shen Ning's eyes lit up: "You are the one who draws flowers with a lot of character!"

"Do you remember the flowers I drew?"

Xiao Jin's depressed mood just now surged up again due to a severe blow, his face was blushing, and he said embarrassedly:

"That day I was called by my uncle to sketch...uh, and you called me to paint temporarily. I was so dazed that I could only draw the deepest things in my memory by intuition. That was in my garden every morning. A flower that will bloom, I will smell it every morning when I pass by."

"That flower is really beautiful." Shen Ning praised sincerely:

"I can see your love for it from your paintings. It looks so beautiful in your brush, like the goddess of laurel."

Different from the bold and unrestrained one that day, Xiao Jin looks quite shy now:

"My uncle asked me to come back to help him with his business matters. My family has been taken care of by my uncle. Although I am confused, I don't want to let him down. I am very sorry for what happened that day."

"My paintings have always been mediocre, and the teacher thought it would be difficult for me to become a master. If it wasn't for my rich family, I would have given up a long time ago. You told me that I have aura in painting, and I was really touched. Yes Yes, I also signed up for this competition, but of course I didn’t make the top ten in the end.”

Shen Ning didn't know how to reply for a moment, after all, he is not the type who is good at comforting others, but Xiao Jin didn't intend to seek comfort, so he quickly continued:

"Thank you for encouraging me, and thank you for giving me the courage to ask Mr. Xie for help. It is also because of you that Mr. Xie is willing to help me. If Mr. Xie hadn't helped us this time, my uncle and I don't know what would have happened .”

Although she really wanted to accept this love, Shen Ning still said honestly:

"I think Xie Yin is a very calm and judgmental person. If he helps you, he must think that you are worthy of help. It has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Jin smiled and said, "Hey, can I add you on WeChat? You draw well. I think you draw better than No.1 and No.2. Maybe the judges think you are too young, so they suppress you on purpose. Your rank."

He said the last two sentences very quietly.

Shen Ning let out a "huh" in his heart, and immediately felt that the facial features of the young man in front of him were particularly pleasing to the eye.He took out his mobile phone and said:

"Are you sweeping me or am I sweeping you?"

"Let me sweep you..."

The author has something to say:

Du likes to thank→Thank you for getting help from the Du family→Du is not controlled.

From Xie's point of view, it is indeed the feeling of cutting off an arm, because it involves the government, the plot should be as simple as possible. In short, it is such a logic.

And no matter Du or someone from another family, to Mr. Xie, he is just a pawn to walk (what kind of good man can a capitalist be? [Zhen Sheng]

If some readers wonder if such a simple framing is useful, think about how many people have replaced X in reality, and there will be transactions if there are benefits (of course, if it succeeds, Xiao Jin will be abolished [no one cares])

Tomorrow night at eight o'clock continue to update
