Xue Xiangying glanced at Su Ningshuang.
After it's over, she'll know who the truly talented person is and who's just a braggart.
Xue Xiangying skillfully picked up the brush and began to paint.
Fearing they might disturb the two artists' creative process, no one dared to approach them; they could only sit in their seats and wait anxiously.
In the office, Principal Qu and a group of school leaders were getting restless. They couldn't see the details of Ye Chen and Xue Xiangying's painting through the surveillance cameras.
The professors who questioned Ye Chen were quite puzzled. Xue Xiangying was good at sketching and oil painting, so why did she choose to compete with Ye Chen in traditional Chinese painting?
"Perhaps many people don't know that Xue Xiangying's maternal grandfather was Old Qin, who settled in Suzhou."
At this point, a leader who knew the inside story offered a smiling explanation.
Is Qin Lao, a grandmaster of traditional Chinese painting who resides in Suzhou, Xue Xiangying's maternal grandfather?!
Everyone was amazed, never expecting Xue Xiangying to have such a trick up her sleeve.
Those professors who questioned Ye Chen, in particular, sneered. This is getting interesting.
"Dean Qu, shall we go over and take a look?"
One leader suggested that he couldn't sit still any longer; simply watching the surveillance footage wasn't enough.
"Hmm... okay."
After thinking for a moment, Principal Qu, though outwardly calm, also wanted to go and see for himself.
Soon, led by Principal Qu, a large group of leaders and professors from the Academy of Fine Arts rushed toward the classroom where Ye Chen was.
In order to finish his painting faster than Ye Chen, Xue Xiangying sped up his pace. His painting today was "Eagle Spreading Its Wings".
The eagle in his painting symbolizes his soaring to great heights and his remarkable success!
Xue Xiangying's brushwork was skillful, and her brushstrokes and style were quite mature, clearly the result of years of study.
Just as Xue Xiangying was two-thirds of the way through painting "Eagle Spreading Its Wings," Ye Chen had already signed off and finished the work.
Inside the classroom, everyone was astonished to see Ye Chen complete his work in just a few minutes. Although they really wanted to gather around and take a look, Xue Xiangying hadn't finished yet, so they had no choice but to sit quietly where they were.
Three or four minutes later, Xue Xiangying finished his "Soaring Eagle". When he looked at Ye Chen triumphantly, he found that Ye Chen had been watching him all along.
Thump!
Xue Xiangying's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Xue Xiangying moved to the side and looked at Ye Chen's painting.
In an instant, Xue Xiangying's face turned deathly pale, as if she had just crawled out of a graveyard.
Ye Chen created "Landscape Painting," which, with just a few strokes, outlines a magnificent and imposing landscape.
Xue Xiangying had only seen that kind of momentum and charm in a few of her maternal grandfather's works.
Even my maternal grandfather couldn't achieve that level of skill in every painting.
Now, Professor Ye's painting, created in just a few minutes, actually possesses this charm?
incredible!
Moreover, the three characters "Landscape of Mountains and Rivers" on Ye Chen's painting are incredibly vivid, elegant and vigorous, clearly showing the style of a master calligrapher.
Upon seeing that Xue Xiangying had finished her work, everyone eagerly flocked over.
Wow!
"Oh My God!"
"What kind of divine painting is this?"
After viewing Xue Xiangying's and Ye Chen's works, everyone gathered around Ye Chen's piece, praising it repeatedly.
On the other hand, Xue Xiangying's side didn't have many people around. Even her few female fans were excitedly discussing Ye Chen's "Landscape Painting".
At this moment, these people finally understood why Ye Chen could become a professor, while they could not.
The gap between them is not small!
Many of them had seen Mr. Meng painting traditional Chinese paintings, but to be fair, Mr. Meng's skill level seemed to be somewhat inferior to that of Professor Ye.
Professor Ye is amazing.
All the students admired Ye Chen immensely.
Professor Ye's ability to become a professor at his age truly demonstrates his exceptional talent.
Teaching them with Professor Ye's level of expertise would be a waste of his talents.
Many students looked at Su Ningshuang with admiration, all of them praising her discerning eye.
She was the first to stand up for Professor Ye, so Professor Ye must value her highly now.
To be valued by a professor is such an honor.
As for Xue Xiangying, she stood there alone, her face numb, appearing exceptionally lonely.
At this moment, a song kept echoing in Xue Xiangying's mind—"The cold, icy rain slaps my face haphazardly, warm tears mingling with the cold rain..."
Just as everyone was marveling at the scene, Dean Qu rushed in with a group of leaders, startling all the students.
It seems that the appearance of so many college leaders all at once only happens at large-scale events.
What brings these leaders here today?
"Hello Dean Qu, hello Director Liu..."
"Hello Dean Qu, hello Director Liu..."
The students greeted him politely and then stepped aside.
Dean Qu and the others nodded to the students, and then gathered around Ye Chen's work. They had only seen the video recorded by Elder Meng, and this was the first time they had seen Ye Chen's work in real life.
Looking at Ye Chen's "Landscape Painting", the professors who had questioned Ye Chen were all dumbfounded.
Some professors, on the other hand, began to study Ye Chen's calligraphy.
"By the way, our Professor Ye is also a director of the China Calligraphers Association!"
