Chapter 244 Stopping and Lingering

A fusion of artistic conception?!

Are you sure you're not kidding me?!

Li Donglai looked at Situ Changqing in surprise, only to see that the latter was just looking down at the intelligence report with bright eyes.

This man, recognized as the richest man in both China and Xia, suddenly couldn't sit still.

"Hey, don't grab it! I haven't finished watching yet..."

The document that Situ Changqing was carefully examining had vanished. He subconsciously looked up and saw Li Donglai holding the stack of intelligence reports. In the blink of an eye, he ran to the French windows.

At this moment, Situ Changqing was somewhat at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

Do you really think that anyone who achieves great things is necessarily unconcerned with trivial matters?

Situ Changqing looked puzzled.

At least he didn't see that in Li Donglai.

"Good lad!"

"He's only been in Lizhou for less than two days, and he's already being asked to be a judge for some random competition involving music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Is he just bored?"

"You think you can just let him participate? But he even produced a painting and calligraphy work that perfectly blends artistic conception. Isn't that a waste of his talent?"

Hearing Li Donglai's sour self-talk, Situ Changqing saw through it but didn't point it out, smiling without saying a word.

"You can see the fusion of artistic conception in just one photo?"

Situ Changqing said with a half-smile, "How about we change the itinerary?"

After hearing this, Li Donglai suddenly turned around.

For a fleeting moment, he really wanted to agree.

But in the end, he sighed and waved his hand, "Never mind, it'll be put into storage sooner or later. Let the Xia family be smug for a few days first."

That's what they say, but Li Donglai's performance was somewhat unsatisfactory.

For example, if he suddenly walked towards the study, Situ Changqing could guess what would happen next with his bare hands; it was nothing more than the quirks of a scholar.

He calmly brewed himself a cup of hot tea, not even glancing at the study out of the corner of his eye, let alone looking at it. He had no interest in doing trivial things like grinding ink for others.

Xiazhou.

At this moment, this landscape painting, which had been handled by Lin Rui, was not only framed by the Xia family, but also hung in the arena for the competition of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Although the event will be held in three days, the venue is already in a warm-up mode.

Nowadays, only invited guests and contestants are allowed to enter and exit the venue.

Not only were there well-known artists from Xiazhou, but also some professionals with extensive knowledge of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, who were also whispering and commenting on the competition.

Of course, the exhibited works are almost all treasures from various families, and many are also new works from these families.

"The Xia family sent someone to deliver a landscape painting."

At the sound of a shout from the middle-aged butler of the Xia family, the guests who were nearby immediately gathered around.

Fleeting life?!

Some people's expressions changed, while others looked bewildered.

This painting is neither from the Xia family collection nor by the three elders of the Xia family.

So, who is this Fusheng?

Could it be the singer who performed "Big Fish" on the Spring Festival Gala?

The name "Fusheng" is not a real name, but a stage name, so the possibility of having the same name as someone else is extremely small.

Because they realized this, some people present became unsettled.

Are you kidding me?

A musician who also knows calligraphy and painting?

Especially since it's placed in such a prominent position, this is an exposure point that the Xia family worked so hard to secure. Who is this Fusheng, and what merits does he have?

Aren't the Xia family worried about being unanimously criticized by the Lizhou calligraphy and painting circles because of this foolish behavior?

Many people with ulterior motives smirked. Because they were far away, they couldn't see the specific content of the calligraphy and painting clearly, but just listening to the gossip of the people around them was enough to make them think of something crooked.

He secretly gave a few instructions to his assistants, who immediately began to spread the word, and soon even guests who hadn't noticed this area were quite interested in coming over.

What's with those expressions?
