Chapter 573: Chapter 573: The Paintings in Area A

"What?"

"What?!"

Zhou Danqing and Zhou Minran both exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Zhou Danqing was surprised that the gift Shi Yaoguang gave him was actually seen by Zhou Minran first.

Zhou Minran on the other hand was completely stunned.

What did Shi Yaoguang’s words mean?

What he had just seen was just a painting.

It was the sunflower that looked no better than a child’s doodle.

Beyond that, he hadn’t seen anything else that looked like a gift.

This meant that the sunflower he had just seen could very likely be the gift Shi Yaoguang had prepared.

Just as Zhou Danqing was heartbroken that Zhou Minran had seen his soon-to-be-received gift first, he saw Zhou Minran with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

He immediately set his face in a frown and asked displeasedly, "What’s with that expression?"

Zhou Minran snapped back to reality, looked at Zhou Danqing with the kind of expression one has when seeing an elderly person cheated by a health product company, a look of "you could have done better": "Grandpa, she totally played you!"

After saying that, Zhou Minran glared at Shi Yaoguang menacingly, "Tell me, why did you deliberately fool my grandpa?"

Shi Yaoguang ignored him, for she did not want to speak with a fool.

Seeing this, Zhou Minran grew even angrier, "Don’t think you can just feign ignorance! I’m telling you, you need to give me an explanation!"

"What explanation do you want?"

Shi Yaoguang’s face grew more impatient, "That painting is a gift for Elder Zhou, not meant for you."

Zhou Minran patted his chest, "Even if the gift isn’t for me, I can’t just watch you brush my grandpa off!"

"Ah, I get it now!" Zhou Minran said, suddenly looking as if he had an epiphany, "The only reason you could participate in the art exhibition is because you cheated my grandpa with someone else’s painting!"

Before Shi Yaoguang could say anything, Zhou Danqing raised his hand and smacked Zhou Minran on the head.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

After scolding his grandson, Zhou Danqing looked back at Shi Yaoguang and apologetically said, "Yaoguang, my grandson is inexperienced, please don’t take it personally."

Shi Yaoguang shook her head, "Don’t worry, Elder Zhou, he simply misunderstood and didn’t mean any harm, I understand."

Zhou Danqing nodded, "That’s good."

With that said, he still looked disdainfully at Zhou Minran, "Do you see how generous Yaoguang is? You really are..."

He shook his head, with an expression of great disappointment.

Zhou Minran immediately grew indignant.

Why, though?

He hadn’t done anything wrong, had he?

Shi Yaoguang being generous?

Of course, she had to be generous – what kind of scam artist wouldn’t be? Instead of being petty?

Thinking this way, Zhou Minran became even more aggravated.

"Grandpa, you really can’t blame me for this!"

Zhou Minran angrily pointed at Shi Yaoguang, "Explain to my grandpa. Tell him clearly that you can’t paint at all! Don’t think that just because my grandpa is old, you can fool him easily!"

"Even if grandpa is old and not as discerning as before, I’m here by his side, so don’t even think about deceiving him!"

Zhou Danqing became even angrier, "You ingrate!"

Zhou Minran stiffened his neck, refusing to back down, "Anyway, I’m not in the wrong, it’s grandpa who has really misunderstood!"

"I don’t know why you have such a high opinion of her, but I’m sure that she doesn’t have the ability, it doesn’t matter if you’ve been duped grandpa, I will definitely help you get justice!"

"Bullshit!" The old man couldn’t help but curse aloud, "Get out of my sight; I don’t want to waste words on you."

Taking the opportunity, the person in charge spoke up: "The art exhibition is about to start, why don’t we go take a look around first?"

Shi Yaoguang and Shi Yiqing had no objections, and Zhou Minran, harboring the desire to expose Shi Yaoguang’s true colors to Zhou Danqing, naturally had no objections either.

Zhou Danqing also wanted his grandson to see who the truly talented painter was, so he implicitly agreed to the proposal as well.

The person in charge shared basically the same thoughts as Zhou Minran.

They all believed that Yaoguang was highly regarded by the old master simply because she had misled him into thinking she was very skilled.

In fact, the paintings she produced were at the level of a kindergarten student.

The person in charge thought about it and couldn’t help but curl his lips.

Even if she was faking it, should she do it in such a way?

Wasn’t she blatantly telling everyone she had no real talent at all?

Thinking this way, Yaoguang really was the most foolish person he had ever seen.

While he mocked Yaoguang, the person in charge also felt very pleased.

After all, a pig opponent is always better than a pig teammate.

Thinking so, he couldn’t wait.

He believed that once Zhou Danqing saw Shi Yaoguang’s paintings, he would certainly not favor her anymore.

At that time...

He could still sit securely in his position as the person in charge.

...

A group of people followed the person in charge towards a certain direction in the exhibition hall.

Halfway there, Zhou Danqing noticed they were going the wrong way and immediately asked, "Where are you taking us?"

The person in charge was confused, "We’re going to see Miss Shi’s paintings, aren’t we? Is there a problem with that?"

"Her paintings are in exhibition area A."

Zhou Danqing said.

Hearing this, the person in charge was stunned, "Her paintings in area A? How is that possible!"

"What’s so impossible about that?" Zhou Danqing was somewhat dissatisfied with the person in charge’s surprised attitude, "The location of her exhibition area was personally arranged by me, there can be no mistakes."

He not only arranged it, but he also watched the paintings being delivered to the exhibition area with his own eyes.

But soon, he realized the reason for the person in charge’s disbelief.

He showed an expression of speechlessness and said, "I understand now."

"Do you think that Yaoguang’s paintings should not appear in exhibition area A, hmm?"

The person in charge nodded vigorously.

That terrible sunflower, how could it possibly deserve to be in exhibition area A?

Allowing her paintings into the exhibition was already a sign of their exhibition’s "incompetence", but if her paintings were to appear in area A, wouldn’t that make it seem like their exhibition was of low standard?

In reality, their exhibition was not just famous domestically.

It was quite renowned even internationally.

The person in charge understood the status of the exhibition very thoroughly, and it was precisely because of this understanding that he felt even more convinced that a "lucky fluke" like Shi Yaoguang should not appear here.

At this point, everyone thought they were in the right.

But as for who had more reason, that would have to be decided by the facts.

The person in charge was internally questioning Shi Yaoguang’s paintings while he searched with his gaze among the displayed works for that eyesore of a sunflower.

In fact, Shi Yaoguang’s sunflower wasn’t particularly unpleasant to look at.

It just appeared much worse when compared with her childish scrawls.

The person in charge scanned the hung paintings and didn’t find the sunflower, immediately becoming puzzled, "Aren’t the paintings already hung up? Why isn’t it there?"

Unlike the person in charge who was solely focused on finding the sunflower, Zhou Danqing instantly noticed a watercolor painting hanging in the prime position of C.
