Chapter 388 I’m Afraid You’ll Be Beaten

Jiang Xuan's face was full of frustration, and he looked at Lin Chen with resentful eyes: "Brother-in-law, is my work really this bad?"

"Uh..." Lin Chen didn't know what to say for a moment.

You can't really criticize him as useless, right?

This... was too much to bully him.

Thinking about it, Lin Chen rolled his eyes and began to have an idea in his mind.

"Actually, not really. There is something remarkable about him. What I just said was a bit exaggerated."

"What's remarkable?" Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up, "For example?"

"For example...for example..." Lin Chen argued for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything.

"The brush strokes are quite delicate."

Jiang Xuan was extremely frustrated again.

Is this called praising someone?

Is this called encouraging?

Brother, you are killing someone and killing your heart.

"Brother-in-law, this is so heartbreaking!"

Lin Chen also smiled sheepishly.

Jiang Xuan took a deep breath and asked again: "Brother-in-law, tell me, what is wrong with my painting? I will improve it in the future."

Although it was really heartbreaking, he still understood the principle that criticism leads to progress.

"I'm not very skilled in composition or technique, and the characters are not expressive. My eyes are dull, as if they were dead," Lin Chen said.

Then, he patted Jiang Xuan on the shoulder: "Come on, you will definitely be better in the future."

"Brother-in-law, you are right, I will definitely be able to do better in the future."

"come on!"

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xuan said again: "Sister, why don't you find a place to sit? I want to see the art exhibition again."

He won't ask Lin Chen to read it now.

Even his teacher's works were criticized like that. There were probably few paintings in the entire exhibition that Lin Chen found good.

Lin Chen said: "We'd better go with you."

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Li again: "What do you think?"

Jiang Li nodded: "Yes, I can do it."

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan could only say: "Then let's go together."

This time, Jiang Xuan was smart enough not to ask Lin Chen to comment.

Originally, he was quite sad that his work was said to be worthless by Lin Chen.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt a little relieved that even his teacher had been criticized completely.

However, he realized belatedly that most of the questions Lin Chen had just asked were common sense questions and few technical ones.

Maybe he doesn't know much about painting, he just has good observation skills.

After all, Lin Chen is only so young, and the profession of painting relies on years of tempering and accumulation, and then slowly comprehending it.

How profound can Lin Chen be at this age?

Besides, his brother-in-law is also busy making money. He probably leaves early and comes home late just like his father. Where does he have time to learn painting?

I’ve finished reading the outside circle.

At this time, Jiang Xuan said: "Let's go to the inner hall to see? That's where the gods fight."

Lin Chen and Jiang Li both nodded.

Sure enough, the paintings in the inner hall are at least one level higher than those in the outer hall.

Moreover, there is a master who is painting in front.

There were many people surrounding him, praising him.

Everyone feels that the level of this master's paintings is particularly high.

"This technique is really admirable!"

"I have never seen such a powerful technique!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's great!"

"President Fang's technique is simply amazing!"

"This brush is full of ink, and the details are detailed. It perfectly displays the majestic momentum of the towering mountains. What a good calligraphy!"

"I didn't expect to see President Fang painting with my own eyes today. This is simply a blessing for us!"

…

Fang Mingli put the final finishing touch before slowly placing the pen on the pen holder.

The painting in front of him is the most satisfying one he has painted in recent months.

But I always feel like something is missing.

He thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what was missing.

It would be great if a more powerful master could give me guidance at this time!

This is his only regret.

"My knowledge is so shallow that I am making everyone laugh." Fang Mingli said modestly.

Everyone then paid another round of compliments.

Lin Chen gently pushed Jiang Xuan beside him and asked in a low voice: "Who is that?"

Jiang Xuan glanced at the man respectfully, then turned to Lin Chen and said, "He is the dean of our Academy of Fine Arts and the president of the Shanghai Painting and Calligraphy Association. This exhibition was organized by him."

Lin Chen nodded: "So that's it."

At this time, there were several men and women who looked like students not far away, waving to Jiang Xuan.

"Jiang Xuan, this way."

"That's my classmate. I have to go there." Jiang Xuan said.

Jiang Li nodded: "Go ahead."

It was good to be alone with Lin Chen for a while, she preferred this.

After all...

Jiang Xuan passed happily.

"You are here today, why didn't you tell me?" Jiang Xuan asked.

One of the boys lightly punched Jiang Xuan on the shoulder: "Didn't you tell us?"

"Yes, Jiang Xuan, we just saw your painting in the outer hall. It's really good!"

Jiang Xuan scratched his head and said sheepishly: "Well, that's it!"

At this time, someone suddenly asked: "Who was with you just now?"

"It's my sister, following me as my future brother-in-law." Jiang Xuan said.

"Wow! You're such a big light bulb!"

Jiang Xuan slapped him on the back of his head and cursed him with a smile: "Go to hell!"

The man begged for mercy.

"But to be honest, your sister is really pretty and your brother-in-law is also very handsome!"

Jiang Xuan raised his chin: "Of course, don't you see who your sister and brother-in-law are!"

"Okay, okay, let's go over and say hello to your sister and brother-in-law?"

Jiang Xuan nodded: "Okay."

Here, Jiang Li was talking to Lin Chen, and a bunch of young men and women who looked like students came over here.

"Hello sister, hello brother-in-law!"

Lin Chen and Jiang Li were a little amused.

"Hello."

Seeing that the eyes of several girls looking at Lin Chen were sparkling, Jiang Li took Lin Chen's arm without leaving a trace, silently swearing her sovereignty.

"Sister, brother-in-law looks so good together!"

"Yes, the two of them standing together, just like a painting!"

"I'm so envious!"

"Hey sister, are you here to see the exhibition too?"

Jiang Li smiled and nodded: "I'm here mainly to accompany Jiang Xuan."

"Then let's go see the dean's paintings together?" someone suggested.

"Let's go!"

Lin Chen and Jiang Li were also pulled over.

In front of them was the painting of mountains and flowing water that Fang Mingli, the dean and president, had just painted.

Several of Jiang Xuan's classmates were very interested and kept praising the painting.

Then Jiang Xuan asked jokingly: "What do you think of our dean's painting?"

Their dean is a master painter after all.

Lin Chen can't find fault with his paintings, right?

After all, his academic qualifications, status, and qualifications are all here.

It's impossible for Lin Chen to have any accomplishments in this area, right?

Jiang Xuan thought very well.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

Big mistake...

Lin Chen looked at it carefully, then shook his head: "I won't comment on it."

Jiang Xuan looked proud: "Are you impressed by our dean's superb painting skills?"

Lin Chen shook his head and nodded.

"What does it mean to shake your head and nod?"

"It's okay." Lin Chen said.

Jiang Xuan looked at Lin Chen suspiciously: "Brother-in-law, you can't find faults in our dean's works, right?"

Lin Chen paused: "You, do you want to hear the truth?"

"I want to hear it." Jiang Xuan nodded: "But you have to keep your voice down, or I'm afraid you'll get beaten."
