Chapter 62
You Mian held the phone in his hand, his expression blank and confused for a moment.
The boy stood there, showing a rare look of helplessness that he had never shown before.
Pei Huaiji was right behind him. Even though You Mian came to his senses and immediately put his phone back in his pocket, it only took a moment for him to hear Pei Huaiji's voice asking, "What's wrong?"
You Mian tilted her head and looked up, and met Pei Huaiji's cold, dark eyes.
You Mian pursed his lips. He didn't know why Pei Huaiji made him want to share.
So he smiled calmly, curled his eyes, and said, "Enter the second round of the Star Cup."
Pei Huaiji's frown relaxed instantly, and You Mian saw him showing a handsome smile.
In an instant, it was like the glaciers melting and the cold water boiling.
"Congratulations." Pei Huaiji's voice was a little hoarse when he said this, with mixed emotions.
The man did not conceal the joy in his eyes.
You Mian scratched the thin calluses on his fingers nervously for some unknown reason.
Hong Sheng, who was among the staff not far away, was sitting behind the camera and watching this scene with a teasing raised eyebrow.
This was the first time he saw Pei Huaiji like this.
He took the initiative to invite a group and took people to go skydiving together.
Hong Sheng felt that Pei Huaiji had a different attitude towards You Mian from the moment they first met. In the corridor that day, he held You Mian's hand for only a few seconds, but the other person's brows were already tightly furrowed.
Perhaps Pei Huaiji himself didn't realize it at that time.
But fortunately, I seem to have figured it out now.
Hong Sheng stared at Pei Huaiji and You Mian with a smile, then when he looked down at his phone he found that the originally three related hot searches had suddenly become four or five.
Two more entries about Bai Lin were pushed up and quickly entered the top ten of the hot search list.
Hong Sheng frowned and took a quick look, only to see that all the new entries were related to a Star Cup competition that Bai Lin participated in.
#Bai Lin Xing Chen Cup Oil Painting Group First
#Bai Lin's work received strong praise from Spier Pnock
#Bai Lin's oil paintings of everything
Hong Sheng clicked on a random post and saw the square filled with cheers from fans.
[Ah, baby Linlin is really good!] It is said that Professor Spiel Punock is a well-known professor at the University of Dole in the UK. He reposted Bai Lin's work on his Instagram. Lin Bao must have been recognized by professionals in the circle! 】
【Depend on! It’s such an honor! Linlin is only a junior in college, and he has achieved such great results. He has a bright future! (To me, I am just criticizing some amateurs who are about to graduate but still don’t have an offer.)
[Linlin, charge bravely!] We will always be your strongest support! 】
[Don’t worry about other people’s slander or anything else, you are always the best, the brush is in your hand, the strength lies in you, and no one else can take it away! 】
[Some people should open their eyes and see who is riding on whose popularity. Linlin is not afraid. 】
[Please stay away, all you nagging people. This is Linlin’s topic. 】
[I’m curious, didn’t a certain amateur also participate in the Star Cup? I saw him on the public list. Are the results out yet? I don’t think he will be eliminated in the first round. It’s so funny. 】
[Can any sister give me some information about the value of Professor Punok? I don't hear this name often. 】
[I am speechless. Just go find it yourself. The professor is very famous and a professional. 】
[I saw You Mian on the list of finalists. He is actually the first in the sculpture group. I'm really surprised at how watered down the Star Cup is. A person with this level can get first place. 】
[It is generally acknowledged that the value of oil paintings is higher than that of sculptures. 】
What is this? It's so funny. How is it different from the ornaments sold on the street for a dozen bucks? I really can't see what's good about it, and its level isn't that good either, so how did it get first place? What are the looks on the judges' faces? 】
[Just a secret, You Mian passed the preliminary round and got the internal recommendation from the judges. 】
[Why?] Are there still such vacancies for the judges? So disgusting, why is there still such an open backdoor? 】
[I really hope Linlin stays away from people like this, who have no real ability but only rely on their looks. 】
[What is this carving? I have no idea what it is. What does it have to do with anything else? Linlin’s oil paintings are still the best looking. The first place in the sculpture group is at the level of an elementary school student, hahahaha. 】
Bai Lin's mobile group chat kept ringing with messages, but he couldn't open it to read it now, so he could only secretly turn off the mute function.
Soon, an entry #I can't understand You Mian's works# slowly emerged.
Huo Yanzhi hadn't come back yet. Hong Sheng sat behind the camera and silently scanned the entries for a while. After a few seconds, he walked directly to the preparation area with his mobile phone.
Pei Huaiji couldn't help but stop Hong Sheng when he saw his anxious movements, and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"
Hong Sheng's gaze unconsciously turned to You Mian, his brows tightly locked.
"You two didn't see the trending searches, did you?"
You Mian and Pei Huaiji looked at each other.
You Mian immediately took out his phone and opened Weibo.
The glaring entries and countless malicious intent instantly came to his face. Pei Huaiji leaned over and took a few glances before immediately turning off You Mian's phone.
"Don't look at it yet." Pei Huaiji's voice was cold, with obvious anger.
The hostility lurking in the dark was ready to take action, but You Mian was calmer than he thought.
Pei Huaiji frowned and asked, "Do you need my help?"
JL has the most mature public relations team in Huajiang City, and can almost suppress all these slanderous remarks.
When You Mian looked at Pei Huaiji, she understood what he meant.
But what he wants is not to suppress the trending search.
Old scars will not heal by constantly applying medicine. They must be picked open and the rotten flesh cut off in the bloody mess before the wound will heal.
So You Mian smiled and said, "Let them have a party."
——
When Hong Sheng walked into the preparation room, he saw Bai Lin sitting at the front of several rows of chairs in the room, and other guests in the small room were also sitting or standing nearby.
You Mian and Pei Huaiji arrived late, following behind Hong Sheng.
Hong Sheng stood at the door, shook his phone, and asked with a smile, "Bai Lin, is the result of the Xingchen Cup competition you participated in out?"
Bai Lin's face was still pale. He immediately became alert when he heard that. He blinked obediently, "Really? I don't know. I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable. I didn't have time to check my phone."
Hong Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? I see you're on the trending search."
As soon as Hong Sheng said this, everyone in the room looked over.
Guan Tong picked up the phone excitedly, "Honey, I remember you're participating in the competition too!"
Guan Tong paid attention to You Mian's expression and felt relieved when he found that it was not ugly.
The expression is normal, so the result should be good.
But before Guan Tong could open Weibo with his phone, You Mian sat beside him and gently pressed his wrist, "Don't look at it yet."
You Mian saw those hot search terms just before coming in, and of course also saw all the questions and doubts.
Due to the inherent properties of works of art, some audiences like them while others just don't.
Different tastes and aesthetics will lead to different evaluations of works.
