With a single glance from Cedric, his underling brought him paper and pen.
Cedric wrote two receipts, which were signed by both parties.
On Ye Chen's side, Ye Chen and Caroline's brother both signed, and Cedric also signed.
Now all that's missing is Cedric's companion.
"Jessica, come in."
Cedric turned his head and shouted outside.
Immediately afterwards, a girl with blonde hair and long legs walked in.
"Let me introduce you. This is my companion, Jessica."
Cedric turned his head and introduced Ye Chen and Caroline's brother with a big smile.
Strictly speaking, he wasn't actually close to Jessica; Jessica was the younger sister of one of his good friends.
This time, in order to catch Ye Chen and Caroline's brother off guard.
Cedric gave Jessica's brother several of his favorite supercars and even gifted her an old family estate before he finally managed to invite her over.
After listening to Cedric's introduction, Ye Chen didn't think much of it. However, Caroline's brother's face froze the moment he saw Jessica appear.
"What's wrong?"
Suddenly noticing Caroline's brother's unusual behavior, Ye Chen asked him in confusion.
"Jessica... He actually managed to get Jessica here..."
Caroline's brother's voice trembled.
What happened to Jessica?
“Mr. Ye… you don’t know this, Jessica is from the Reynolds family.”
"She's the most skilled painter among our group of peers. Jessica has been studying oil painting since she was little, and she's currently studying at the world's number one art academy—the Royal Academy of Arts in the UK—and has even won international awards..."
The more Caroline's brother talked, the more desperate he became.
At that moment, he finally understood why Cedric was comparing oil paintings instead of his best sport, golf.
He invited Jessica, a "master of oil painting," so what else could they compare but oil paintings?
If Cedric has a 70-80% chance of winning in golf, then with Jessica's help, he probably has a 99% chance of winning in oil painting.
Cedric is so insidious!
Noticing Caroline's brother's angry expression, Cedric couldn't help but laugh.
She smiled exceptionally brightly.
"The Royal Academy of Arts, ranked number one in the world?"
Ye Chen muttered something under his breath, not paying any attention to it.
Even if the Royal Academy of Arts is highly regarded, Jessica is just a student there, not one of their top professors.
She compared herself to herself, but realized she was still a little lacking.
"You said this Jessica comes from the Reynolds family. What's that family like?"
Ye Chen asked.
“The Reynolds family is also a great noble family, similar to Cedric’s family. Although they are not as historically significant as our Wittelsbach family, the Reynolds family is skilled in business, and the wealth and resources they have accumulated are probably comparable to our family.”
"The Reynolds family currently has remarkable achievements in the banking, new energy, and ocean shipping industries."
Caroline's brother introduced her.
"The new energy industry?"
Ye Chen noticed a detail that Caroline's brother mentioned—the Reynolds family, to which Jessica belongs, actually has achieved great success in the new energy industry.
That's even better.
If I win the game and Cedric and Jessica become my servants, dealing with Charlemagne's New Energy Group will be even easier.
While Ye Chen and Caroline's brother were talking, Jessica was also about to sign the papers.
When she noticed that the loser would have to serve as the winner's servant for a year, she didn't rush to sign.
Jessica was quite familiar with Caroline's brother, who was a "laid-back" type. She knew what level Caroline's brother was at and didn't even look down on him.
But it's hard to say about Ye Chen, a complete stranger.
Jessica carefully scanned Ye Chen, but didn't find anything unusual about him.
He's about the same age as her, but doesn't seem like the kind of art master; he's probably not even as good as her.
How could I possibly lose to him?
With that thought in mind, Jessica signed the document with a flourish.
The document is now officially in effect.
"Alright, let's start the game."
This time, it was Cedric who took the initiative to start the match.
"Why..........."
Caroline's brother sighed softly, his heart filled with despair.
He originally thought that he could be on par with Cedric, and that Mr. Ye would be fine as long as he defeated Cedric's companion.
But now that Caroline's brother knows that Ye Chen is going to deal with Jessica, he has given up all hope of winning.
"come on!"
Su Ningshuang spoke up to encourage Ye Chen. Unlike Caroline's brother, she believed that Ye Chen would definitely win.
"Go for it, brother-in-law!"
Victory is certain!
Su Ling'er and Zhao Shuxuan also believed in Ye Chen.
The drawing board, brushes, paints, and so on were all prepared.
Two hours to go! The competition has officially begun!
There were no specific requirements for what to paint in this oil painting competition; everyone could paint whatever they wanted.
Cedric thought for a moment and chose to paint his favorite Palace of Versailles.
Caroline's brother painted Neuschwanstein Castle, a castle that was once the pride of their family and is famous internationally.
Jessica painted the beautiful scenery of the Royal Academy of Arts in England that they brought with them.
As for Ye Chen, he picked up his pen, thought for a moment, and decided he didn't want to paint any beautiful scenery.
If not beautiful scenery, then what should I paint?
Ye Chen thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
He knows what to draw!
