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

Chapter 537, Fermentation, the role of opportunity

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, Jiang Zhe took his cup to get some water and met Fu Min on the way.

He said first: "Fu Min, congratulations. I just went to see the school's good news. Your work can participate in the provincial art exhibition."

"Thank you. I'm still far behind you." Fu Min smiled happily. She, Mou Xing and several other classmates originally aimed to participate in the Binhai City Art Exhibition. But after the operation of Wang Zhen's gallery, they can also participate in the provincial exhibition. Although this exhibition is a group exhibition, it is also an improvement.

"We all heard that you are going to the capital on Friday..." While the two were chatting, a few more classmates came over.

These students envied Jiang Zhe and Fu Min. After all, Fu Min was closer to them.

Because the teachers and students of the school participated in the selection of multiple exhibitions and competitions, many students' attention was drawn to this aspect, so there was a lot of discussion on related topics.

That night, Jiang Zhe returned to the villa and waited for news while revising his work.

Wang Zhen finally called.

"Brother Jiang, let me tell you something. The report we arranged earlier has been postponed for one day due to some reasons. It will not appear until tomorrow. Don't worry."

Jiang Zhe said, "Oh, it's okay. You should take a rest and take care of yourself. I see you've been too busy recently."

"After this busy period, things should be much better." Wang Zhen's tone was filled with fatigue.

After ending the call, Jiang Zhe thought for a moment, opened the system, and saw no new prompts.

Thinking back to Wang Zhen’s expression and reaction when they were having dinner together, Jiang Zhe thought that maybe this postponement might be related to his own choice?

Before making a choice, the system reminded me that this choice might bring higher rewards, but it might also result in bad results.

Never mind, the choice has been made anyway, there is no point in thinking about it.

The next day, Jiang Zhe put the matter behind him and continued with his class.

During class, he saw a text message from Wang Zhen:

Call me back sometime.

He thought that maybe the report was out, but he was in class, so he didn't rush to call.

However, not long after, Sister Liao also sent him a text message, asking him to call her when he had time.

Sister Liao rarely sends me text messages when I am in class.

Jiang Zhe felt that it wouldn't be as simple as just saying congratulations.

During the break, he dialed Sister Liao's number.

"Sister Liao, is there anything urgent?"

Sister Liao said, "It's not urgent. It's about your report."

"You saw it so quickly?"

"I know Wang Zhen's publicity plan and have been following this matter. However, there seems to be something wrong with this publicity."

"Oh, what's the problem?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"You haven't read the report yet?"

"No."

"Well, let me briefly explain it." Sister Liao's tone sounded calm, but based on Jiang Zhe's previous understanding, this was a big deal.

“This report looks good, but some of your views on contemporary art may be offensive to some people. This kind of report…

Let me put it this way, while promoting you, there will also be uncontrollable consequences. We don’t know what the consequences will be yet, I will do my best to help you make up for it, but you have to be prepared. You should read the report first.”

"Okay, I understand. Thank you Sister Liao." Jiang Zhe understood that his choice had worked, but he didn't know what the consequences would be.

"No need to thank me."

Jiang Zhe dialed Wang Zhen’s number again.

"Hello?!" Wang Zhen's voice was a little angry. "Is it convenient to talk now?"

"Convenient." Jiang Zhe replied.

"I'll make it short. The report is out and I've read it. The first half is OK, but there are some viewpoints in the report that may cause some controversy.

Although there has been no response yet, I think there will be some later. I will do my best to respond, and you should also be prepared that someone may criticize you or even refute your views. By the way, do you want to read the report?"

Jiang Zhe said, "I want to read it, but I didn't get the newspaper, so I haven't seen it yet."

"You can call Meng Xi and ask her to read it to you."

Jiang Zhe asked, "Is there any fiction in the report?"

Wang Zhen did not answer directly: "There is nothing wrong with the text. There are some words that we don't feel are problematic when we say them ourselves, but to some people, it sounds different.

I won’t say much more, you can read the report first.”

Jiang Zhe hesitated for a while, thinking that they were all busy, so he sent a text message to Meng Xi, asking her when she would be free.

Meng Xi replied that he could contact her at noon.

At noon, Jiang Zhe called Meng Xi.

Meng Xi read the report to Jiang Zhe word by word on the phone.

Jiang Zhe listened very carefully.

The first half of the report is basically praise, while the second half is mixed with some of his opinions.

Meng Xi told Jiang Zhe that the newspaper reported on both him and the American painter.

The two people had conflicting opinions. This was originally planned, but because of some words, the tension became stronger than expected.

"Hey, are you still listening?" Meng Xi asked.

Jiang Zhe replied: "I'm listening."

"Manager Wang was very angry and had a quarrel with the middleman."

"I understand, thank you. I will call Mr. Wang." Jiang Zhe said.

……

"Manager Wang, I heard Meng Xi read the report to me. I'm sorry, I may have gotten into trouble this time because of something I said."

Although Jiang Zhe didn't think he said anything wrong, after all, Wang Zhen and the others were busy running around, and now there might be some consequences, so he had to be cautious.

Wang Zhen's voice was a little hoarse, "This matter is not your fault. There was something wrong with their report.

I calmed down and thought about it. There must be something going on between this media outlet's changing of reporters and its delay in reporting that we don't know about.

After careful analysis, now that the report has been sent out, it is impossible to withdraw it. We can only respond with caution and eliminate the negative effects.”

"What is the attitude of the auction companies?" Jiang Zhe asked about the attitudes of the two auction houses.

"These two auction houses are very patient. I hope to observe for a while."

Jiang Zhe did not see the report in person, but the report had already spread in the capital's art circles.

Many people started to take action.

Jiang Zhe continued to attend classes on Wednesday.

Wang Zhen kept sending messages.

Many people in the circle have seen this news, causing a lot of discussion...

The news is still spreading.

On Thursday, Jiang Zhe got the newspaper and saw the initial report.

Just as Wang Zhen said, there are some words in it that seem ambiguous, but if you analyze them carefully, you can tell the critical meaning.

Wang Zhen called Jiang Zhe to tell him that the news had spread to other circles and many people were talking about him.

Some have already begun to criticize.
