Chapter 64: Eating melon progress 64%
When the exhibition officially opened, the invited guests arrived one after another.
There is a floor-to-ceiling screen at the entrance hall. Su Lan stood in front of the screen and introduced several painters attending the exhibition today, especially the painter Dong Hui.
"Everyone knows Dong Hui. You might have heard of her as a genius or a prolific painter, but how many people know that she was once a senior executive at Turing Pharmaceuticals?"
"She switched to painting at the age of 40 and has since achieved remarkable success, winning numerous international awards. Today, we are honored to showcase all of Painter Dong's award-winning works!"
Dong Hui went up to the audience to say a few words of thanks to his relatives and friends amidst warm applause.
Not far away, Chen Mengyue, vice president of the Orchid Society, was talking to someone nearby. "Did Dong Hui give Gu Xizhou a head start on her first day?"
"Yes, even the Gu family was criticized. The Gu family acquired a remote diagnosis and treatment subsidiary of the Dong family. This subsidiary suffered huge losses under the Dong family, but after joining the Gu family, they revitalized it within a year and made more than ten small profits. Dong Hui was jealous and immediately suppressed Gu Xizhou."
Chen Mengyue observed quietly, "This Gu Xizhou is not angry, but he praises Dong Hui so highly. He is a ruthless character."
Su Lan was not angry at all, and even praised Dong Hui to the sky, throwing words like "female ceiling", "natural painter", and "female inspirational power" at Dong Hui.
Float, how can the plane crash if you don’t float?
When Dong Hui was laughing so hard that he couldn't stop, a voice came from the speakers in the corner.
"What's this little girl's name, Mu Qing?"
"She's pretty, the type Old Peng likes. Send her to him."
"If you ask which industry has the most lucrative profits, it's naturally our pharmaceutical company."
"There's no patent, just add some vitamin C and copy it from abroad."
"The pills cost 50 cents to make, and if they're sold for 2 yuan, how can ordinary people afford them? They have to start at 50 yuan at least."
"You lost your money again? I don't have any money. Don't try to use my money to fill the hole. The worst that can happen is you can just raise the price. You can raise the price of AIDS medicine as you like. People will buy it anyway."
The guests present were talking about it.
"Isn't this Dong Hui's voice?"
"What does this mean? Who are you offering this little girl to? Is this pimping or human trafficking?"
"It's Dong Hui. Who else knows so much about the cost of pills? Isn't she the owner of Turing Pharmaceuticals?"
"I remember that Turing Pharmaceuticals' price increase was even on the news. Then the movie 'Medicine Saint' came out, and the authorities regulated it, so Turing lowered its prices. They're desperately trying to make money from people's life-saving money. They lack the moral integrity of a great man."
"What's this 'Female Ceiling'? Is this 'Female Sewer'?"
At this moment, the screen lit up with a "click" sound, and Dong Hui's big face appeared.
No need to guess now, the answer is here.
Dong Hui's face was so clear that even every pore could be seen on the huge screen.
In the picture, Dong Hui is brainwashing the white-haired man.
"You are lucky that you draw for me. Otherwise, when you die, no one will see your paintings."
"Don't believe me? Try selling it online. No one knows who you are, so who would buy it?"
"I see that you have some talent and work hard. I hope you can grow and get better and better. That's why I asked you to help me draw."
"You want to quit your job and start a training class? You don't even have a diploma. How can you open a training class with a high school diploma? Well, even if someone comes to learn, you'll earn a little extra money today, but that's just teaching a few kids to paint. Do you want to give up your dream? Don't want to hold an art exhibition? Don't want your paintings to be seen by the world?"
Everyone present was stunned.
"What kind of PUA scene is this?"
"I feel the fear of being dominated by my boss. My dream of going to NMD is not well paid, and he only makes empty promises every day."
"Haha, this is the first time I've heard someone talk about someone else being a ghostwriter so righteously, as if they owe her money if they don't do the job."
"I hate this kind of boss the most. He drives a sports car and eats seafood, while his subordinates work themselves to death and eat flatbreads, and are still subjected to PUA. This man doesn't look young, but his hair is all white."
Dong Hui's face turned pale. She wanted to find the switch for the screen, but she was not familiar with the layout of the exhibition and didn't know where to start. She looked towards the person in charge.
At this time, Su Lan, the person in charge of the exhibition, looked anxious and shouted, "Quick, quick, close it quickly, don't disturb everyone from enjoying the exhibition."
Su Lan was anxious, she was acting.
She tilted her head slightly, the corners of her lips curved slightly, and her eyes closed and opened.
The big screen was turned off.
Su Lan walked onto the stage and stabilized the situation. "There was a small technical problem just now. Don't take it to heart. I don't know who is playing a prank. Video synthesis technology is so advanced nowadays. It must be fake. How could our painter Dong hire a ghost, right?"
The more Su Lan said this, the more the audience disbelieved him and whispered about him.
"Video synthesis? It doesn't look like it. It's too realistic."
"Hilarious! All the details match up. The one who unscrupulously raised the price of the drug was Turing Pharmaceuticals, and Dong Hui is the boss lady of Turing Pharmaceuticals."
"I just asked my friends at the Academy of Fine Arts. Dong Hui's presence is no secret in their school. She hires ghostwriters for low prices. The students are already poor, and she's tricked them into saying they can hold exhibitions abroad. They keep sending them wave after wave for her to choose from. And she calls them some bullshit prolific and talented painter. She's clearly just a black-hearted capitalist who exploits people."
Su Lan clapped the back of her palm with her right fingers, and Jin Wanning understood.
The screen switched to an introduction to the award-winning works of the exhibition.
Several painters shared their creative experiences, and when the scene cut to Dong Hui, everyone felt it was very dazzling.
Dong Hui was talking big on the screen, but everyone's attention was focused on the strange comments below...
AP International Art Exhibition First Prize "Morning in a Park on the Outskirts of Paris", work by Dong Hui.
Comment: [Actually, it’s Chen Ke’s painting.]
RTA Art Election Work "Life and Death", by Dong Hui.
Comment: [This painting was also by Chen Ke.]
UN Art Competition work "Mirror Paradise", work by Dong Hui.
Barrage: [Still Chen Ke’s.]
Visitors to the exhibition began to discuss.
"It's funny, Dong Hui has so many award-winning works, but not a single one was drawn by her."
"By the way, who is Chen Ke? He's so awesome!"
"Chen Ke's paintings are truly exceptional. My favorite is 'Life and Death.' A wealthy but despairing professional woman and a cancer patient, desperate for life but desperate to live, stare at each other through the window. They envy each other, yet each is immersed in their own predicament..."
There were many experts in painting among the guests present, and they highly recognized Chen Ke’s artistic attainments.
Su Lan was puzzled: How do you know the name Chen Ke?
When she turned around, she saw the comments in the video.
Jin Wanning walked towards her.
Su Lan asked her: "Did you add this comment?"
Jin Wanning looked at the comments that were exactly the same as Su Lan's thoughts, and thought to herself: Isn't it you?
Jin Wanning couldn't utter the word "heart's voice". Even though she used her muscles and formed her lips correctly, no sound came out.
Helpless, Jin Wanning had to take the blame: "It's me, is it good?"
"It's okay." Su Lan was very satisfied.
Jin Wanning and she were in tune with each other, and the comments she added were very similar to what she had in mind...
Seeing the video was still going on, Dong Hui stood in the center of the screen and said, "I want to state, first, all the paintings are mine, and second, Chen Ke is my stage name. I used to use the name Chen Ke because my paintings weren't mature enough before and I was afraid people I knew would laugh at me."
Su Lan:!
Jin Wanning:!!
[I have never seen such a shameless person.]
[I can actually think of Chen Ke as her stage name.]
Su Lan quickly reacted and took the stage to control the situation. "Are you surprised? Our great painter Dong's little secret has been discovered. I can prove that Dong Hui's former stage name was Chen Ke!"
At this moment, Dong Hui looked at Gu Xizhou (Su Lan) with gratitude.
Even though she had been so difficult before, she still spoke up for herself...
At this moment, a hoarse voice came, "If she is Chen Ke, then who am I?"
A young man with white hair walked in.
Unlike the decadent and dejected look seen in the video, he is full of energy.
Fox eyes, red lips, as if she came out of the second dimension.
People were whispering to each other at the scene.
"Where did this handsome guy come from?"
"That white-haired guy...could he be the Chen Ke who was PUA'd in the video just now?"
“So cool!”
Compared to Dong Hui saying that Chen Ke is her stage name, Chen Ke, a real handsome guy who walked out of a comic book, seems more convincing.
Chen Ke has slender fingers and calluses on his index finger, and it's obvious that he's good at holding a paintbrush.
Su Lan put down the microphone. Chen Ke was here and she could give up the stage.
She whispered to Jin Wanning from the audience, "Nice technique."
Jin Wanning smiled: "You too."
Su Lan asked Jin Wanging to take the real Chen Ke to tidy up.
In just a few minutes, Chen Ke became full of energy and seemed like a completely different person.
After Chen Ke got ready, he stood in the corner, waiting for this moment.
Chen Ke strode onto the stage and said, "I am the Chen Ke you are talking about, the one who was used as a PUA by Dong Hui, Chen Ke."
After saying that, he directly showed his ID card.
The onlookers were unanimous in their response: showing the ID card speaks volumes.
Dong Hui's expression became increasingly grim, but she remained calm as she spoke slowly.
"You and I are strangers, and we have no grudges against each other. Who paid you to smear me?"
"Your name is Chen Ke. What does that have to do with my stage name, Chen Ke?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Dong Hui was struggling.
The video shows a white-haired painter Chen Ke who was PUA-ed by Dong Hui, and a white-haired Chen Ke appeared at the scene.
Dong Hui also said that her stage name is Chen Ke. Who would believe it?
But there was one person who actually believed it and even jumped out, "Chen Ke, we have broken up. Why are you still pestering me and taking revenge on my aunt?"
Everyone looked at the conspicuous Bao Dongshan who jumped out to speak.
Is this a melon?
Dong Shan saw that everyone was looking at her, and she was quite pleased with herself. She continued, "Since we've been apart for so many years, shouldn't we just part ways amicably? Are you still obsessed with me?"
White-haired Chen Ke's eyes turned red. "What did you say? She's your aunt?"
Then, Chen Ke laughed loudly towards the sky, and there was a hint of ferocity in his laughter.
"Part ways amicably?"
"Dong Shan, you were my professor's mistress, snatched my graduation project, and prevented me from graduating. How can that be good?"
"And your aunt Dong Hui said she would give me a chance to be her ghostwriter. If I submitted my paintings, she would sponsor me to study in Italy. I've already painted 29 paintings and haven't even left the country!"
"You aunt and nephew are not good people!"
After Chen Ke finished scolding, a chill ran down his spine. "Have I become part of your play since the graduation project?"
For a moment, the exhibition hall was quiet.
After the silence, there was more lively discussion.
"I've opened my eyes. My niece is a mentor, but the mistress stole his graduation project, and my aunt used his work to participate in a competition abroad. This family is so vicious, they only targeted him..."
"No wonder you have white hair at such a young age."
"This matter is extremely terrifying when you think about it carefully. Could it be that this was planned from the beginning?"
At this moment, Su Lan's inner voice spread out like waves, from person to person, and finally reached the ears of Chen Ke, the person involved.
[You guessed it right. Dong Shan has no artistic talent. Her aunt Dong Hui taught her to approach talented people. Dong Shan and Chen Ke broke up, and she suddenly became Chen Ke's mistress. She stole Chen Ke's graduation project and took the opportunity to study abroad in Italy.]
Chen Ke's graduation project was stolen, and he complained to the school, but Dong Hui directly threatened his instructor that if he didn't want his wife to know that he had a mistress with Dong Shan, he would have to clean up Chen Ke's mess.
[The instructor makes things difficult for Chen Ke, and he doesn't get his diploma from the Academy of Fine Arts. Then Dong Hui appears, promising him a good deal and asking him to be Dong Hui's ghostwriter...]
Dong Hui heard the discussion and stood on the stage to challenge the others directly, "Who is spreading rumors?"
"If you have evidence, bring it out. Let's face it head-on and let the facts speak for themselves!"
"Without evidence, it's just fabricated nonsense. This is defamation. My legal team is no pushover!"
Dong Hui confronted Chen Ke head-on because he was sure that Chen Ke only had a mouth and no evidence.
It’s too early to try to bring her down with just empty talk!
The exhibition hall was silent for a few seconds.
No one can provide evidence.
Even Chen Ke himself could only stand there trembling with his fists clenched, not saying a word.
At this moment, Su Lan took a step forward.
The author has something to say:
Su Lan (with hands full of evidence): Which one do you want?
