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

Chapter 301: Conflict of Interest, Calm and Peaceful
In the hotel box, Sister Liao picked up her wine glass, took a sip of wine, and said to Jiang Zhe, "I have some ideas about this matter. Let's eat first and don't let it affect our mood. Let's talk about it after dinner."

Jiang Zhe nodded: "Okay, you are right. Let's eat."

During the meal, the two chatted about daily topics. After leaving the restaurant, Sister Liao suggested: "There is a place nearby that is suitable for a walk after dinner. Let's go for a walk?"

"Okay." Jiang Zhe also wanted to relax.

Sister Liao took Jiang Zhe to a lakeside park.

This is a park in the city, covering a large area. There is a walking corridor by the lake, connecting some antique pavilions and towers.

The two walked hand in hand along the corridor.

Jiang Zhe smelled the fresh air of the park, felt the evening breeze, and quickly relaxed.

Sister Liao asked quietly, "You are hesitant because you are worried that something might go wrong at the museum and you will lose both sides?"

Jiang Zhe nodded: "I do have this concern. If there is no possibility of it being collected by the museum, I will agree to Christie's suggestion to auction it."

Sister Liao asked: "Now, forget about the gains and losses, and start from your heart. Which choice do you prefer?"

Jiang Zhe walked slowly, and after a while, he said, "I hope my works can be collected by the museum so that more people can see them. If possible, I also hope that my works can be preserved in the museum for a long time."

Sister Liao smiled: "Look, the answer is here."

Jiang Zhe said: "Wang Zhen doesn't know about this yet. Should I tell him? Or how do I reject Christie's auction company?"

Sister Liao said: "Delay as much as possible. Your market is always here. The aesthetic rights of art abroad are in the hands of others. Your works will be exploited by others when they arrive there."

"Relax a little. Maybe, things will turn around tomorrow."

"Thank you for chatting with you. I feel much better."

……

The next morning, Jiang Zhe and Professor Qin came to the main gate of a community. Professor Qin dialed a number on his mobile phone, listened for a moment, and frowned.

Jiang Zhe waited quietly.

Think back to your experience this morning.

He followed Professor Qin to visit several senior figures in the art circle.

The process of meeting the first and second people went smoothly, but the next few people I visited were not at home.

Professor Qin put down his phone and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.

"Lao Tao said he had something urgent to do and is not at home."

Jiang Zhe said, "Teacher, if that's the case, let's come back another day. It's almost lunch time, let's find a place to eat and rest for a while."

Professor Qin nodded.

Jiang Zhe appeared calm, but he was thinking that it was no coincidence that several people happened to have something to do and could not meet as agreed. What could be the reason that made these people disregard Professor Qin's face?
Professor Qin was familiar with the situation in the provincial capital and took Jiang Zhe to an old store.

He ate very little, and after Jiang Zhe finished eating, he spoke up, "These people are avoiding us, so there must be something else. Don't worry, it may not be related to your problem."

Jiang Zhe agreed. He thought, how could he not be worried after hearing such comfort?
"I'm really sorry that you've worked so hard for the whole morning because of this matter." Jiang Zhe advised Professor Qin to rest in the afternoon and not worry about this matter for the time being.

Professor Qin had no other options and had to take a rest.

In the afternoon, Jiang Zhe had nothing to do, so he went to the largest bookstore in the provincial capital and bought two books. When he was paying, he received a call from Wang Zhen.

He answered the phone as he walked out of the bookstore.

"Jiang Zhe, I heard some bad news." Wang Zhen said, "Today, two friends told me that several people in the circle have spread the rumors about you again, and this time they are even more outrageous, saying that the purpose of your group painting is to please the Western art market.

Our meeting with Annie yesterday must have been known to others."

Jiang Zhe's heart sank. He knew that people's words were scary.

"To please the Western market? I will exhibit it here?" He complained, but he also knew that it was useless to say this to Wang Zhen. "What do you want to do?" Wang Zhen asked, "You didn't mention it to anyone else, did you?"

Jiang Zhe thought, I only told Sister Liao. Will she have any problems?

"No."

Wang Zhen said: "There is nothing wrong with me, maybe there is something wrong with Annie. Or someone saw it. It is difficult to keep it secret.

Those who slander you may be deliberately creating public opinion. Especially at this time, we cannot back down. We should continue to talk to Annie. "

Jiang Zhe said, "Okay, I want to discuss this matter with Professor Qin."

"Okay, there's no need to keep it secret now. You just have to hold on and never back down."

"I understand." Jiang Zhe ended the call and looked at the time. Professor Qin should be resting at this time.

He planned to call Professor Qin in an hour. Feeling a little depressed, he strolled down the street and unknowingly came to the lakeside park he had been to yesterday.

At this time, there were several anglers fishing under parasols or in the shade of trees.

Jiang Zhe sat down in the shade of a tree, looking at the scenery in front of him, thinking about the news brought by Wang Zhen.

He knew very well that the resistance and attacks he encountered had nothing to do with grudges, but were purely a struggle for interests.

He was disgusted by this kind of thing. Suddenly he remembered the suggestion before the system task, so he quietly opened the system and saw that the option to consume the reward and get the message did not disappear.

Jiang Zhe stared at the options, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not press it.

He closed the page, took a deep breath, and calmed himself.

The worst outcome of this incident might be that the provincial art gallery's collection of his works and the auction of his works would all fail. Also, he might be laughed at.

Apart from these, there seems to be no worse impact.

He thought about the worst possible outcomes. It seemed that he could bear these outcomes. Since he could accept the worst outcome, then the twists and turns in the process were nothing to be afraid of.

After figuring out the whole thing, Jiang Zhe decided to just go for it. He just did what he had to do and proceeded at his own pace.

He was in a relaxed mood, taking in the scenery of the lakeside park.

Jiang Zhe took out his sketchbook and art pen and began to sketch some images with lines. Lakeshore, willow trees, lotus flowers, pavilions... He didn't care whether the images were accurate or not, he just drew whatever he wanted.

When the appointed time came, the smile returned to his face as he put away his tools.

……

Professor Qin's room.

Jiang Zhe told Professor Qin about his contact with Jiashide Auction Company.

"I thought about it again and again, maybe it was because of this incident that the interests of others were affected."

Professor Qin was silent for a while, then said: "It is possible. Before you came, I just heard that someone was slandering you.

Maybe someone wants to deliberately create public opinion to make you back off.

I think that when Director Li returns to follow the procedures, he will definitely notify some people. This news may also arouse the jealousy of some people.

What do you think? "

Jiang Zhe said: "With a clear conscience, let's see what other tricks they can come up with."

Professor Qin was impressed by Jiang Zhe's calmness.

"After the exhibition is over, the collection of the works should be finalized. Do you think we can make some time difference?"
