Chapter 427 Deep Talent
Shi's parents knew that time was urgent, so they submitted the application early the next morning.
At the same time, Lu Weiguo also reported to the higher-ups.
There was no problem with Lu Weiguo, but Shi's parents were stuck.
The director of the weapons research institute personally received them.
Director Yan attached great importance to Shi's parents, the two core figures of the institute who have made continuous achievements.
He knew that Shi Tingyu was the leading young painter in the country, and the Rodrigo Painting Competition was almost the dream of young painters. It would be a bit inhumane to stop him.
There are no perfect regulations on whether the family members of confidentiality personnel can go abroad, and they are all handled at their discretion.
But Shi Tingyu was kidnapped by the spies from the United States last time.
Looking at Shi's father and mother, Director Yan asked, "Is your daughter very interested in this competition?"
Shi's father nodded, "My daughter is a genius in painting."
Shi's father never hesitates to praise his children for their excellence.
Director Yan naturally knew that Shi Tingyu's achievements could be regarded as legendary.
"Well, you go back first. According to what you said before, the competition will take some time. We will have a meeting to discuss it."
Shi's father and mother looked at each other and had no choice but to leave.
They did not want their daughter's career to be affected by their own work, but the country also had difficulties.
Director Yan had a brief meeting with the National Security Bureau.
But at the meeting, the number of people who agreed and those who disagreed was almost half and half.
Finally, it was the head of the National Security Department who spoke up: "I remember that Professor Shi's lover was the commander of the Lu Corps in our military region, right?"
Director Yan nodded.
After a moment's silence, Team Leader Quan said, "If Professor Shi wants to go abroad, let Captain Lu accompany him, and then we can bring some people to serve as staff. This will also ensure Professor Shi's safety." Director
Yan thought this was fine, and he asked, "How many people are appropriate? It will be inconvenient if we bring too many, and it may be unsafe if we bring too few."
Team Leader Quan took a pen and marked on the paper for a long time before speaking, "I remember you said that three people might go abroad, so we will arrange for six people to accompany them. It is reasonable to have one translator for each person, and each person will have an assistant."
This number of people was also carefully considered by Team Leader Quan. After these people went to the United States, their accommodation and reception would be arranged by the competition organizing committee.
The Rodrigo Painting Competition is an international event that attracts global attention. As the host, the United States has never had any contestants get into trouble.
Of course, the secret struggles between contestants do not count.
If a contestant really gets into trouble in the United States, the face of the United States, as a superpower, will be wiped out. How can it show off in front of other countries in the future?
Just like the Olympics held every four years, there has been no news of any country's athletes being assassinated or detained.
Director Yan did not know about these, so it was all up to Team Leader Quan.
Shi Tingyu was shocked when he heard the news.
"Isn't this making a fuss out of nothing?"
In fact, she was quite confident that she could go abroad, because in the future, the families of confidentiality personnel could go abroad, but she didn't expect that this time, six soldiers including Wei Guo would accompany her.
Lu Weiguo was very happy. In the past, he couldn't be with his wife every time she went out to participate in competitions and awards. This time, at least he had a chance.
He was looking forward to the moment when she stood on the podium.
"Don't think too much. There must be a reason for the arrangement. Have you forgotten that you were kidnapped by American spies before?"
Speaking of this, Shi Tingyu shut up.
So the matter was settled.
Shi Tingyu started her own creative journey.
Now her painting techniques have a taste of returning to nature.
For example, when she painted landscapes before, she could use her superb painting skills to make the landscapes realistic and complex. In terms of the use of colors, she might adjust a color many times until she was satisfied.
Now when she paints landscapes, it seems that everything is in her mind and she knows it clearly. She knows how to adjust the colors at a glance, and the paintings she draws with the simplest and crudest brushstrokes are full of artistic conception.
Shi Tingyu later analyzed it and attributed it to the transformation of her body by the spiritual spring water. Her eyes are much better at distinguishing colors than the original owner, and her hand strength, etc.
These have a bonus effect on her painting skills.
This time she created a more abstract landscape painting.
It is called "The Forest at 4:30 in the Morning in Summer" .
The light at dawn is very mysterious and difficult to grasp, but Shi Tingyu can express the light at 4:30 in the morning vividly.
Under such light, the scenery in her paintings seemed to be covered with a layer of light blue-purple mist.
At first glance, it was all quiet.
From a distance, the scenery was beautiful, as if it led people into a misty forest, but when you look closely, you can surprisingly find traces of life in the painting that cannot be detected from a distance.
Even a tiny bit of paint can outline the insects in the forest.
The shape of the insects cannot be seen, but you can tell what they are at a glance.
Lu Weiguo has never found that his daughter-in-law can paint so focused, and no movement around can disturb her.
Shi Tingyu's painting lasted from November to December.
When Shi Tingyu's painting was completed, the whole family came to see it.
Normally, they would always praise Shi Tingyu's paintings, but this time, they were all speechless.
It was not for anything else, but because they felt quiet when they saw the paintings, and they were afraid that their voices would disturb the spirits in the paintings.
Shen Shen looked at the paintings for a long time and could not come back to his senses. After a long time, his childish voice rang out, "Mom, the insects are getting up."
Shi Tingyu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his son with a look of surprise.
"Shen Shen, did you see it?"
The first feeling of this painting is that it makes the viewer feel peaceful, but hidden in it is a vigorous vitality.
Lu Weiguo was awakened by the conversation between the mother and son. He was surprised to see his daughter-in-law looking at Shen Shen as if she had found a treasure.
Shi Tingyu said, "Shen Shen is born to learn painting."
Shen Shen tilted his head, looking confused, but he still said what was in his heart, "Shen Shen likes painting."
Lu's father and mother couldn't see what was going on, but they heard that their daughter-in-law recognized their grandson's talent.
Lu's mother touched Shen Shen's head and said, "Our Shen Shen has inherited Xiao Yu's talent. He will definitely become a great painter in the future."
Shen Shen was full of joy when he heard that he could be as good as his mother in the future.
Shi Tingyu decided to teach Shen Shen the basics of painting in a more systematic way now.
In the past few years, I followed him to scribble with paints, and my color perception was well developed.
Now that his hands are strong enough, it is just right for him to learn to paint.
After Shi Tingyu finished the painting and processed it, he sent it to the China Artists Association.
In that time, the paintings of the other two people will be sent to the United States by someone sent by the Artists Association.
When Wu Daocheng received Shi Tingyu's painting, his eyes could not help but focus.
He looked at it intently, without saying a word for a long time.
It was not until the assistant beside him reminded him that he came back to his senses, and then his face was full of joy. His voice was a little trembling, and his tone was high. Anyone who heard it knew how happy he was.
"The young are to be feared, the young are to be feared."
