Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 300: Visiting the President of the Painting Association
Li Yan walked out of the Imperial University with Chu Luo in his hand. The two of them did not care how many jealous people were behind them.
After getting into the car, Li Yan asked Chu Luo, “Are you still doing experiments tonight?”
“Ya.” Chu Luo suddenly thought of something and asked Li Yan, “Did you send someone to protect Professor Wu and the others?”
“Mm, don't worry,” Li Yan said to her. “The Duanmu family is holding the Qin family. At most, they will find a reason to make them stop their research.”
Chu Luo was relieved.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a phone call from Wang Mingtao.
As Chu Luo rubbed the answer button, Wang Mingtao's anxious voice could be heard. “Sister Chu, I've been wondering. My father planted flowers in some of the painters' previous homes and had a good relationship with one or two of them. When you want to see them, my father will take you there.”
Chu Luo thought for a moment and said, “Tell Uncle Wang that I want to meet them tomorrow morning.”
“Good.” After Wang Mingtao agreed, he asked, “Saudari Chu, what else do you need me to help you with? Although I can't help with the technical aspects, I can definitely do the physical work.”
Chu Luo did not intend to be polite. “Alright, wait for me at the Student Union at four in the afternoon tomorrow.”
Wang Mingtao quickly agreed. “OK okay. I will definitely come in time.”
Chu Luo smiled and hung up the phone.
At this moment, Li Yan glanced at him and asked, “There can I help you with?”
Chu Luo glanced at him and blinked. He deliberately asked, “I will contact the master painter to be the judge of the National University Painting and Calligraphy Competition held by our school this weekend. Do you know anyone in this field?”
Li Yan nodded. “I can help you contact the president of the Painting Association. If you want to find a jury, why not just look for the president?”
Chu Luo looked at him in surprise.
Li Yan's lips curved. “If you want to see her, I will help you ask her for an appointment tonight.”
“Can I?”
“Sure.”
As Li Yan spoke, he pulled out his phone and called. The other party took it quickly. Li Yan said that he wanted to meet with the president of the Painting Association. No one else knew what the other party was saying, but Li Yan hung up the phone and quickly turned the wheel.
To Chu Luo's surprise, they directly went to the old district.
“President of Painting Association you mentioned lives in old district?”
“Mm.”
“How did you meet him?” Chu Luo was extremely curious.
“President of the Painting Association is Tan Yufei's uncle.”
“...So, who did you just call?”
“Tan Yinfei.”
Chu Luo was silent for a few seconds before suddenly laughing.
“So, should I thank your secretary?”
“Not needed.”
Li Yan would never persecute those around him. Even if the public did not have a good impression of him, no one could hunt down the people who worked for him because he had the ability to gain the loyalty of his men.
The House of the president of the Painting Association and the residence of Chu Luo were not on the same street, but they were not too far away.
When the car arrived outside the door of the president's house, a white car stopped right in front of them.
Then, he saw Secretary Tan, who looked like an elite, get out of the car and walk over.
Chu Luo and Li Yan descended simultaneously.
Secretary Tan said to the two of them, “CEO, Miss Chu, I already greeted my uncle. She's waiting for you at home.”
After saying this, he said to Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, may I ask why you want to see my uncle?”
“Our school held a National University Painting and Calligraphy Competition this weekend. I'd like to invite some judges.”
Secretary Tan nodded and warned him, “Although I can help introduce you to him, I cannot guarantee that my uncle will agree to be a jury. As an artist, he has his own pride. Whether you can persuade him or not depends on your ability.”
Chu Luo nodded in understanding.
Secretary Tan led the two of them towards the door.
They had just walked to the door when it opened.
A middle-aged woman with a good disposition and wearing a cheongsam stood inside.
Secretary Tan greets you respectfully, “Bibi.”
Aunt Secretary Tan complained with a smile, “Yinfei, why didn't you call me earlier? If you call early, I can prepare your favorite dish.”
“Auntie, I've eaten.”
Tan Yufei then said to Chu Luo and Li Yan, “This is my aunt. You can call her Madam Zhang.” He then pointed at Li Yan and Chu Luo. “Auntie, this is my boss and Chu Luo. I brought them to see Uncle.”
Madam Zhang was a little surprised. He measured the two of them and was first stunned by Li Yan's aura. Then, she looked at Chu Luo and could not help but praise, “The young woman is truly beautiful.”
Aunt Secretary Tan nodded at him and said, “Come in. Tua He is drawing in the living room.”
The three of them followed Madam Zhang into the courtyard.
Residences in the old district were mostly two-way courtyards, but the layout of each residence was different.
In the front yard of the He residence, there were many sturdy bamboo plants planted. The bamboos look very artistic when blown by the afternoon breeze.
They walked into the courtyard and saw a small bridge over the flowing water. It looks old-fashioned.
The three of them walked to the other door.
When they entered, they saw many calligraphy paintings in the living room.
Chu Luo glanced at the calligraphy painting before pulling her gaze to look at the middle-aged man standing beside the table on the left and painting seriously.
He Zhiqian is 52 years old this year. Since he had been immersed in art for a long time, he had a proud disposition that was unique to scholars.
“He Old, Yufei, and others are here.”
After Madam Zhang spoke to He Zhiqian, she said to Secretary Tan, “Yinfei, take the two guests there to sit down. I'll make tea.”
“OK, Aunty.”
After Madam Zhang turned around and left, Tan Yinfei led the two of them to He Zhiqian.
He Zhiqian did not stop. When the three of them walked over, he simply glanced at Chu Luo and Li Yan and said warmly, “Yinfei, take the two of them there to sit down.”
“OK, Uncle.”
Tan Yufei said to the two of them, “Let's go there and wait a minute.”
Chu Luo looked at the artwork He Zhiqian drew and said to Li Yan and Tan Yufei, “Go and sit down. I'll see Mr. He.”'s artwork
Tan Yufei wanted to say something, but Li Yan glanced at him and he immediately closed his mouth. He brought Li Yan to the sofa and sat down.
Chu Luo did not bother He Zhiqian. He stood more than a meter away from the table and watched.
There are mountains and rivers, flowers, and grass in He Zhiqian's painting. The biggest highlight is the frolicking mountain sparrows.
Each sparrow gave one a different feeling, but it also made one feel their current excitement.
Chu Luo looked at the painting seriously. He Zhiqian continued to draw and did not look at him.
While he was painting the last sparrow, He Zhiqian's hands suddenly trembled. The whole painting became very interesting because of the scratch.
He Zhiqian sighed and was about to tear the painting apart.
“Master He, wait.”
Chu Luo walked closer to the table and looked at the painting. “Since Mr He doesn't want this painting anymore, can you let me add a scratch?”
He Zhiqian finally looked at Chu Luo. His expression was a little annoyed as his efforts today had been ruined. His tone is not very good. “You want to draw like this?”
“Master He, lend me your drawing brush.”
“No. Although this painting has been destroyed, I do not want it to be completely destroyed.”
“How did Mr He know that I was going to destroy this painting? Do you believe if I say that ak7 can save him?”
“What an arrogant tone.”
“Then should we bet?” Chu Luo looked at him and smiled confidently. “As long as I save this painting, you will agree to be a judge at the University Painting and Calligraphy Competition organized by Imperial University this weekend.”
This was the first time He Zhiqian had met someone as confident as Chu Luo. He wanted to teach her a lesson and said, “What if you can't save her?”
“If I can't, I'll be responsible with treating Mr. He.”'s hand disease
He Zhiqian finally looked surprised. “How do you know I have a hand disease?”
“I can tell you about this later, Mr. He.”
After saying that, Chu Luo extended her hand to him. “Mr He, please lend me your brush.”
He Zhiqian looked at Chu Luo, not believing her at all.
At this time, Tan Yufei, who was sitting at the side, said, “Uncle, I can guarantee Chu Luo.”
He Zhiqian was a little surprised that his nephew who always asked for perfection would say this. After thinking for a while, he handed the brush to Chu Luo and stepped aside.
Chu Luo walked over with a brush and quickly began to draw.
Soon, two mountain sparrows chased and played on paper.
An unlucky mountain sparrow has one of its tail feathers broken by another mountain sparrow. The mountain sparrow whose feathers had been pegged looked at the falling feather in a daze. The brushstrokes drawn by He Zhiqian happened to be the middle of the fallen feather.
Two mountain sparrows and one feather fell. Not only did it not destroy the entire painting, but instead, it made people feel even happier.
After a while, He Zhiqian suddenly praised loudly, “Brilian!”
He was only astonished by Chu Luo's addition of two mountain sparrows and falling feathers. His previous indifference was instantly removed. When he saw Chu Luo, his gaze became solemn. “Young friend, how do you think to add this?”
Chu Luo pointed at the picture. “I draw only according to the intention of Mr. He.”
He Zhiqian nodded. Admiration flashed in his eyes as he gestured at her. “Come go and sit.”
