Chapter 344 Wu Daocheng's Paintings
Lu Weiguo followed Shi Tingyu into the room. Seeing that she was taking a suitcase, he hurried forward and hugged her, and said anxiously: "Wife! What are you doing? Let's talk it over. Where are you going with your luggage?"
Shi Tingyu struggled, but finally failed to break free from the man's arms. She shook her body and said helplessly: "I'm going to be strangled to death by you. Let me go. I'm looking for something, not packing my luggage."
Lu Weiguo's body froze, and he let go of her a little embarrassedly.
But then he thought, it's not shameful to make a mistake in judgment in front of his wife, and he was no longer embarrassed.
Lu Weiguo coughed lightly, "Then...wife, what are you looking for? I'll help you."
"No need, I'm just looking for the invitation letter that Mr. Wu gave me before."
Speaking of the invitation letter, Lu Weiguo actually knew that when his wife came back from Beijing, he was the one who packed the luggage.
"Wife, the invitation letter is not in the suitcase, it's in the second drawer of the desk."
After hearing this, Shi Tingyu immediately let go of the suitcase and turned to the desk.
The second drawer contained the honorary certificate of the painting competition, and under the honorary certificate was a red invitation letter to join the association.
Seeing that his wife had found something, Lu Weiguo went over to take a look.
Finally, his eyes stopped at the contact number of the Chinese Artists Association. His brain waves seemed to be in sync with Shi Tingyu's at this moment.
"Wife, are you going to ask the Artists Association for help?"
Shi Tingyu nodded and told him about how she met the chairman of the association.
Hearing his wife's approval of Mr. Wu Daocheng, Lu Weiguo also felt that the matter was feasible.
"Then give it a try. If it doesn't work, think of other ways."
In fact, Lu Weiguo was just angry about this matter, but he didn't think it would go as Liu Tingting wanted.
His wife just helped the United States solve the bomber who threatened social stability. The "News Network" gave his wife two shots, which all show one thing, that is, his wife has official endorsement.
His wife is now well-known internationally.
Whoever smears his wife at this time is not going against the official?
His wife is now a small window for China to increase its international reputation.
Wait, the "Yangcheng Daily" will definitely not get any good, not to mention the instigator Liu Tingting.
But what should be done still needs to be done.
If you want official support, there must be evidence to prove that his wife's paintings are indeed better than Liu Tingting's.
After all, any official action must be cautious.
But up to now, no one here has seen Liu Tingting's work.
Shi Tingyu didn't waste any time. After finding the phone number, she went to the office of the principal of Jiguan Primary School.
Principal Ren also knew about Shi Tingyu's situation, and lent her the office without saying a word.
After dialing the number of the Artists Association, Shi Tingyu took a deep breath, and after calming down, he said, "Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Wu Daocheng. Is he here?"
The other party hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you Teacher Shi?"
Now it was Shi Tingyu's turn to hesitate, "If the Teacher Shi you are talking about is Shi Tingyu, then I am." When
the other party heard this, his tone became much warmer, "Hello, Teacher Shi, Mr. Wu has now gone to Guangzhou. Before he left, he told me that if I receive your call, please be patient."
Shi Tingyu pondered for a moment and understood what Mr. Wu meant.
Mr. Wu is a very serious person. He has artistic ethics and is willing to help young people, so he is even more reluctant to make random judgments for fear of ruining young people with talent.
Therefore, the other party should go to Yangcheng to see Liu Tingting's paintings.
Everything has to wait until the other party has seen the paintings.
After understanding what Mr. Wu meant, Shi Tingyu hung up the phone.
On the other hand, Mr. Wu arrived at Yangcheng Hotel two days later.
As soon as he arrived, he went straight to the point and pointed out that he wanted to see Liu Tingting's paintings reported in the "Yangcheng Daily".
Xiao Li, the assistant who came with Mr. Wu, introduced Mr. Wu's identity and showed him his work certificate and letter of introduction.
After confirming that there was no problem with the identity, the staff asked someone to take them to see the paintings.
Wu Daocheng followed the staff to the Hongmian Hall, which was a large conference hall that hosted business meetings for some foreign guests.
The hall was decorated magnificently, and on the side wall of the hall hung a painting with very pure colors.
Wu Daocheng looked at the painting for a long time, and his face became gloomier the more he looked.
After a long time, he pointed at the painting on the wall and asked the staff next to him with anger: "Is this the painting you found after destroying the contract with Shi Tingyu?"
"I don't know what you are talking about!"
Xiao Li saw that Mr. Wu was angry, and hurriedly persuaded him to calm down.
Although Xiao Li was an assistant, he worked in the calligraphy and painting circle, and he was good at simple painting and had no problem with his appreciation ability.
Wu Daocheng was persuaded by Xiao Li, but when he looked up at the painting, he got angry again.
"Xiao Li, tell me, how is this painting?"
Xiao Li took a look at the painting and said, "This color doesn't match this conference room, and the color is too pure. It will make your eyes uncomfortable if you look at it for a long time. It doesn't look like a color that has been skillfully mixed. It looks like..." He looked at Wu Daocheng and saw that he didn't mean to stop him, so he continued, "It looks like it was directly pasted on without mixing."
Wu Daocheng originally thought that the other party dared to publish it in the newspaper, so he should have some real skills. He couldn't immediately judge the paintings of Shi Tingyu and Liu Tingting, so he came here.
But at this moment, he felt that he had taken such a long train ride in vain. He worked so hard just to see such a thing.
This painting is nothing more than random scribbles of various colors.
I guess the other party wants to paint an abstract painting, but abstract painting is not something that can be painted casually.
Its colors, composition, and the thoughts and emotions it conveys must be extreme.
Being compared to someone so ambitious and fame-seeking was an insult to Shi Tingyu.
The staff of the hotel next door looked unhappy.
People of this era have a sense of collective honor for their work units. Although he also felt that the painting was not good-looking and it would make his eyes uncomfortable if he looked at it for a long time, he could not just criticize their hotel.
"Hey, old man, this is the Yangcheng Hotel. It is one of the best in this area. If you can't get used to this painting, don't look at it."
Wu Daocheng really didn't want to look at the painting any longer. "I don't want you to let me look at it. It hurts my eyes. Xiao Li, let's go."
So in the angry eyes of the staff, Wu Daocheng took Xiao Li and left.
Wu Daocheng knew that he had wasted a lot of time traveling from Beijing to here, so after he left, he directly submitted an article to the Yangcheng Daily in the name of the chairman of the Artists Association to clear Shi Tingyu's name.
At the end of the report, he also called on young people to be down-to-earth and not to be too ambitious.
What he didn't expect was that the Yangcheng Daily did not accept his article.
Liu Tingting's article was published a few days ago, and it was a bit of a slap in the face to publish Wu Daocheng's article now.
The Yangcheng Daily said that this thing could not be done.
