Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 218, Selection, Unexpected Contact, Buying Lottery Tickets
The questions raised by the judges made several people around stop scoring.

A female judge said: "I have noticed this as well. However, there is no stipulation in the selection requirements that two works cannot be submitted at the same time, nor does it say that if a similar situation occurs, one should be excluded."

The judge who raised the question looked around at the people around him and said, "Isn't this a little unfair to the other contestants?"

A judge who had been to the exhibition hall said: "The current selection results have been notarized and were carried out according to the procedures. If you have any questions about the current results and want to change them, you must follow the procedures to invalidate the previous results."

He looked at the three chief judges.

The judge sitting in the middle looked at the notary and the staff in charge of recording. "Are there any problems with the previous process? Have you made any records?"

One person from each of the two groups who were asked stood up and said, "I have made a complete record, which can be checked at any time."

The notary said: "The process is fine and meets the requirements."

The judge nodded and motioned for the two to sit down, then looked at the others and said, "Since it meets the procedural requirements, let's follow the procedure. What do you think?"

The female judge said: "I agree."

Everyone present knew that if they wanted to make any changes at this time, they would have to overturn the previous results, which was tantamount to saying that they were wrong too. No one wanted to slap themselves in the face at this time.

"Yes, we don't need to impose restrictions deliberately, and we certainly can't deliberately equalize things. That would be unfair." The three main judges set the tone, and the others echoed.

……

Conference Hall of the Marina Art Museum.

The seminar on the Binhai Art Association's New Year Painting Exhibition has ended.

Although some individuals caused some minor accidents, this seminar was still a complete success.

The members filed out along the aisle.

When Jiang Zhe stood up from his seat, he deliberately glanced at where Jin Yuming was.

Although many people cast various looks at Jin Yuming, Jin Yuming stood up calmly, joined the crowd, and left.

Jiang Zhe secretly admired his excellent psychological quality.

As he walked in the corridor of the venue, he could hear the discussions of people around him.

"He's really brave to say that. Haha."

"Young people~"

"Old Yu, they have included you in the circle as well."

"I think today will be a busy day."

"Don't worry about it. I don't think those people can do anything to him."

"He only dares to talk about these people. Look at what he painted."

"Hey, why didn't you go up and speak just now?"

“That’s because they didn’t let me go up.”

There were many discussions, some people would lower their voices when they met the association's top leaders, but many people didn't care at all and continued to discuss.

Regardless of their level, most of the painters in the association had their own personalities or problems, and the association's top leaders pretended not to hear anything.

The teachers and students returned to the exhibition hall, and the teacher in charge announced that lunch would be arranged by the school and they could have free time in the afternoon.

Jiang Zhe found his parents in the crowd.

Jiang Yi and his wife had been waiting in the exhibition hall for a long time, and the family of three took a photo in front of Jiang Zhe's works.

When the couple met Teacher Hu and Professor Qin, they expressed their gratitude to the two teachers. They did not end the conversation until Jiang Zhe indicated that the teachers had something else to do.

Jiang Zhe accompanied his parents and took a walk around the exhibition hall.

While looking at the works of some old painters, Jiang Yi sighed that he had seen their paintings when he was young. If it weren't for this opportunity, he might not have come to this occasion to appreciate their works.

The couple was a little tired from visiting the exhibition, so Jiang Zhe accompanied them to take a taxi home.

Jin Yuming took a photo in front of his work and felt that many people were avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally.

He understood the reason and was prepared for this kind of reaction, but the fickleness of human nature still made him realize what reality was.

People who were originally close to me also started to treat me in a non-communicative way, and even pretended not to see me. Even Director Gao, who had always been very attentive, was nowhere to be seen.

He walked towards the entrance of the exhibition hall, preparing to return to the studio, but not far from the entrance, he saw Director Gao waving at him at a corner, motioning for him to come over.

Jin Yuming was hesitant.

Director Gao ran over and pulled him into the temporary office.

Jin Yuming said: "I thought you would ignore me."

Gao Li observed the outside world before closing the door. "What are you talking about? What is our relationship? Hey, that's not right. Why do I feel like you've been wronged?"

Jin Yuming laughed.

Director Gao stared at Jin Yuming and said, "You still have the energy to wander around the exhibition hall. Do you know how many people you have offended today?"

“I’m just stating the reality.”

"Is it your turn to speak? How did the other person offend you? I asked you to read the script, why didn't you? Why did you read it without a script? What's the purpose of this script? It is to avoid mistakes as much as possible." Director Gao was really venting his dissatisfaction.

"I'll be more careful next time." Jin Yuming took a half step back.

"Did you call your sister?" Director Gao quickly regained his senses. "No, it's just a small matter." Jin Yuming replied.

Director Gao saw that Jin Yuming was unmoved and knew that he couldn't persuade him: "Okay, I'm reminding you, stop hanging around in the stadium and go home quickly."

"Okay, see you later." Jin Yuming chatted for a while and seemed to be in a good mood. He left in a leisurely manner.

Director Gao looked at his back, and his anxious expression calmed down. He closed the door, thought for a moment, took out his cell phone, and dialed a number.

The phone rang several times.

"Hello~" a female voice came out.

Director Gao bowed subconsciously: "Hello, Director Jin, I'm Xiao Gao. Yes, it's me... I'm sorry to call you because I have something to report to you..."

Jin Yuming was about to leave the exhibition hall when he saw Jiang Zhe coming back from outside. He thought for a moment and followed him.

Jiang Zhe felt someone approaching and turned around. "Hey, it's you!"

Jin Yuming smiled and said, "We didn't have time to chat before, are you free now?"

Jiang Zhe thought to himself, I don’t want to talk to you right now. Don’t you know how many people you have offended?

He didn't want to flatter someone who was superior and bully someone who was inferior, nor did he want to talk to him for too long, so he decided to be straightforward. "You don't want to talk about those modernist ideas again, do you? To be honest, I really don't understand, or I just don't like it."

As he spoke, he looked towards the past where his work was.

Jin Yuming walked side by side with him: "It can be seen that most people don't understand abstract painting. However, do you know why I am willing to talk to you more?" Jiang Zhe's response made him feel novel.

"Thank you for the high regard." Jiang Zhe let go of his restraints and became more relaxed, like a joke between classmates.

"Don't be happy yet. The painting you put in the exhibition hall on the second floor is a bit tacky." Jin Yuming immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him.

Never mind, it's you again. "How do you say that to offend others?" Jiang Zhe also risked his life.

Jin Yuming smiled: "But I'm telling the truth. I'm willing to tell you more because I saw your painting." He pointed at Jiang Zhe's work hanging in the central exhibition hall. "You have begun to have a modern aesthetic consciousness, better than those people, and you have a good grasp of beauty. It's not just a simple expression of technology, but using technology to express beauty. I think we may have some consensus."

Jiang Zhe heard him say this and looked at his expression, which seemed very sincere, but it was hard to tell what he was thinking. Maybe he really liked abstract works?

He replied: "I don't know what will happen in the future. For now, I don't understand abstraction. Maybe one day in the future, I will change. This kind of understanding cannot be forced, right?
As far as I understand it now, from Cubism to the so-called new installation art, including the art of wrapping the beach, it is actually a kind of exploration. It is okay for him to do it personally, but it is wrong for others to follow suit. "

"See, you still understand."

When Teacher Hu saw the two chatting, he frowned and took the initiative to stand next to Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe hurriedly introduced: "This is my teacher, Teacher Hu."

Jin Yuming politely shook hands with Teacher Hu and said, "I appreciate your work. It is very good and has Lei Dong's style."

The first sentence is fine, but the second sentence starts to be insulting.

Teacher Hu has the identity of a teacher and will not speak without regard for manners: "It is okay to have different understandings of painting, but we must also be careful when criticizing. After all, we are a country of etiquette, and we must be humble and respectful to the elderly."

Jin Yuming's expression remained unchanged: "You are right." As for what he was thinking, others could not tell.

While they were talking, Wang Zhen came closer again.

Jin Yuming took out his business card and handed it to Jiang Zhe: "Let's find an opportunity to have a good exchange."

Jiang Zhe took the business card. "I'm sorry. I really didn't print any business cards. I haven't been selling paintings for long, and Manager Wang helped me, so I didn't prepare any business cards."

Wang Zhen quickly responded: "I can testify to this, he really didn't have time to prepare." She handed her business card to Jin Yuming.

Jin Yuming took the business card and asked for Jiang Zhe's number.

Wang Zhen said: "If you have time, come to our gallery. We have a group of young painters in our gallery, including Jiang Zhe and several of his classmates."

"Okay." Jin Yuming agreed. At this time, his cell phone vibrated several times.

He picked up his phone and looked at it, then said to Jiang Zhe and the others, "I have something else to do. I'll leave first, you guys get busy."

"Goodbye!" Wang Zhen didn't follow him because he saw he was making a phone call.

Jiang Zhe said to Teacher Hu: "Teacher, thank you for helping me out. I really have no other choice."

Teacher Hu said: "You should also be careful. You should learn to say no to certain things. Otherwise, people will think you are in the same group with him."

"Of course, I will learn from you." Jiang Zhe replied with a smile.

Wang Zhen found an opportunity to quietly ask Jiang Zhe: "What is your relationship with Jin Yuming?"

Jiang Zhe said: "No, you saw it all."

"It doesn't matter? He will take the initiative to chat with you?"

"Maybe he admires me?" Jiang Zhe grinned.

hum~
……

At noon, teachers and students eat together, and after lunch, most students return to school.

Jiang Zhe left the exhibition hall, put on a baseball cap and sunglasses, and bought the lottery ticket according to the system requirements.

Because the bonus amount was not small, he tried to be as cautious as possible and was not worried about the result.

Based on past experience, the system's guidance has never been wrong.

According to estimates, after the lottery draw, the amount of money received will be more than one million, and after deducting taxes and other expenses, it should be very close to the prize amount.
