"Professor Ye is too modest."
Zhu Shengkang spoke up, but he didn't believe Ye Chen's words at all.
Ye Chen looks to be in his early twenties at most, not much different from his disciples, yet he is already a professor at the Shanghai University School of Fine Arts. If Ye Chen didn't have real talent and learning, the Shanghai University School of Fine Arts would be crazy to have chosen him as a professor.
Of course, although Zhu Shengkang did not look down on Ye Chen, he did not take Ye Chen too seriously either. Although Ye Chen was also a professor, he was just a junior in his twenties. But who was he? He was a professor at Tsinghua University's top North American College of Engineering, who had won many international awards. A painting he painted could sell for a seven-figure price.
Compared to him, Ye Chen is still too young.
Zhu Shengkang felt an indescribable sense of pride and superiority.
Some students from Tsinghua University's North American College were also stunned when they learned Ye Chen's identity. In particular, several of the more attractive girls looked at Ye Chen with shining eyes. After all, who doesn't like an outstanding guy?
In the past, those who pursued them were mostly students, who might come from well-off families but weren't particularly outstanding themselves. Now, they've met a young and handsome professor. How could they not be interested in such an excellent person?
Ye Chen's identity as a "professor" alone increased their goodwill towards him.
"Professor Ye, could you please sign your autograph?"
"Professor Ye, I'd like to take a picture with you."
"Me too, me too..."
Many female students from Tsinghua University's North American College surrounded him, eager to take photos with Ye Chen like fangirls.
Seeing this, Dai Irving and the other male students from Tsinghua University's North American College were filled with hatred.
Just then, a stunningly beautiful figure appeared not far away. With the appearance of this figure, the girls from Tsinghua University's North American College, who were already considered top beauties, instantly became incredibly ordinary.
Just as Ye Chen had attracted the attention of many girls, this stunningly beautiful figure immediately drew the attention of many boys in the room.
And this stunningly beautiful figure was none other than Su Ningshuang, who had rushed here from her dormitory.
Dai Owen, who has extremely high standards for his partner and has always been single, was stunned when he saw Su Ningshuang. His dormant heart started beating instantly. No, he had to go up and chat up this beautiful young lady.
On the other side, Su Ningshuang, who had rushed over, saw many girls from Tsinghua University's North American College surrounding Ye Chen, and some of them even seemed to want to touch Ye Chen's muscles. Her expression changed slightly.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Su Ningshuang quickened her pace and, before Dai Owen could approach her, she had already reached Ye Chen's side.
"Honey, when did you arrive?"
After arriving at Ye Chen's side, Su Ningshuang said coquettishly.
Not to mention others, even Ye Chen was taken aback when he suddenly heard Su Ning Shuang address him like that.
Hearing Su Ningshuang address Ye Chen in that way, the girls took a step or two back to make way for Su Ningshuang. Su Ningshuang stepped forward and took Ye Chen's arm.
*Smack*
The next second, Su Ningshuang kissed Ye Chen on the cheek, then looked meaningfully at the girls, as if announcing that Ye Chen was already "taken".
These people are too late; Ye Chen has already been taken care of by her.
Noticing Su Ningshuang and Ye Chen's intimate actions, the girls from Tsinghua University's North American College looked regretful. Why did such an outstanding young man already have a girlfriend?
Moreover, his girlfriend is so beautiful and has such a great temperament. If Professor Ye's girlfriend were someone else, they might want to compete with her, but faced with Su Ningshuang's beauty, they felt inferior and couldn't even muster the will to fight.
At the scene, not only the female students from Tsinghua University's North American College, but also the male students felt regret and resentment, especially Dai Owen, who was even more jealous of Ye Chen!
They're all the same age, so why is he so outstanding? It's one thing to be a professor, but he also has such a beautiful girlfriend. He's not happy about it.
"Professor Ye, this is a competition between two universities. Why did you bring your girlfriend here?"
Dai Owen stepped forward and questioned Ye Chen with dissatisfaction.
“Ning Shuang is not only my girlfriend, but also my disciple. This time, Ning Shuang is the one representing me in the competition.”
Ye Chen retorted directly.
"ah?"
Dai Owen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Ningshuang. He didn't expect this pretty young lady to be his opponent. However, since she was Ye Chen's girlfriend, he would have to go all out and crush her.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's get ready."
Dean Qin spoke first.
"How about we ask Professor Zhu and Professor Ye to give us a brief demonstration first?"
Dean Qin looked at Zhu Shengkang and Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded, no problem, and Zhu Shengkang also said it was fine.
"I'd like an oil painting."
Zhu Shengkang spoke up, saying that his oil paintings were quite impressive, and many foreign tycoons and celebrities liked them. He had won international awards. As for some people in China saying that his paintings were "foreign worship and fawning," Zhu Shengkang felt that they did not know how to appreciate what truly noble art was, and that they were not worthy of appreciating it.
The level of art appreciation among Chinese netizens is far inferior to that of foreigners.
"Professor Ye, would you like to paint an oil painting too?"
Zhu Shengkang made the suggestion.
"No, I'd like a landscape painting instead."
Ye Chen flatly refused Zhu Shengkang. Ye Chen was determined to paint traditional Chinese paintings for someone like Zhu Shengkang who was so obsessed with foreign things.
"What?! Professor Ye, you're planning to paint traditional Chinese paintings?!"
