Chapter 430: Encountering Discrimination and Counterattack
The final selection of works for the Rodriguez Painting Competition was held at the Chicago Museum of Art.
Only fifty of the thousands of works from all over the world entered the final selection stage.
It is really rare for China to have three people enter the finals.
The staff led Shi Tingyu and his friends into the venue and sat down at their seats.
In front of them was a huge display wall, with fifty works arranged in order.
The ten calligraphy and painting masters of the organizing committee scored for the judges, and the top three scores were the top three winners.
Shi Tingyu and his three friends had relatively close numbers, and were ranked close to the middle among the fifty shortlisted works.
The host above would score each time he read out the name and author of a painting.
Currently, the two contestants with the highest scores are from the United States and Gaul.
The score was tied at 92.
The two of them answered appropriately during the interview, and they were very clear and far-sighted when they expounded their creative ideas.
Shi Tingyu found that the answers during the interview and the final speech were very important.
It would affect the judges' scores.
Shi Tingyu shifted her attention away from the contestants of those works and focused her energy on the paintings on the display wall.
After looking around, she became more confident in her own paintings.
She did not deny that there were many seniors who painted better than her, but among painters of this age, she was not at all inferior. She
was calm, but others were not so calm.
Li Fusheng and Huo Beiyuan looked fine, but their tense bodies showed that they were not calm.
The six people who followed had good mental qualities, but they couldn't stand the tension of being cut by a blunt knife.
Ji Ze whispered to Lu Weiguo beside him: "Boss, if I go up to help my sister-in-law translate, what if I don't translate well? Wouldn't that affect our sister-in-law's score?"
Lu Weiguo said: "You don't need to go to your sister-in-law's place, she will go by herself."
Ji Ze scratched his head and found that except for the players from the United States and Eagle Country, people from other countries used translators, some brought their own, and some were provided by the organizing committee.
But the translators provided by the organizing committee were not brought by themselves, and their trust in them was limited, so they felt that they had to go by themselves.
But Shi Tingyu can go on his own on Ji Ze's side, but Li Fusheng and Huo Beiyuan can't speak foreign languages, and the remaining two soldiers acting as translators are also a little nervous.
Although they have learned a little about the two people's creative concepts before coming, but now they hear what others say, they always feel that the materials prepared in advance are not suitable.
Li Fusheng and Huo Beiyuan are also very nervous at this time. At the beginning, they had informed the translators of their creative concepts in advance. Now they were scared by this battle, and their minds were a little blank. They couldn't remember the tricks they had prepared before.
Shi Tingyu noticed their abnormality and asked a question. Several people seemed to have found their backbone and looked at Shi Tingyu for help.
Shi Tingyu asked them to repeat their creative concepts.
Facing Shi Tingyu, the tension of the two disappeared a lot, and their thoughts became clearer.
After hearing their explanation, Shi Tingyu nodded secretly in his heart, and then helped them to polish it a little bit and told them.
Several people's eyes lit up. They
nodded continuously .
Shi Tingyu had participated in this competition before, so he naturally knew what to say best.
"If you are not sure about the translation, I can go up and help you translate when the time comes."
The two naturally wanted it.
They knew about Shi Tingyu's experience abroad, and as for Shi Tingyu's foreign language, it was the same as the natives here.
They were whispering something here, and a black man next to them suddenly snorted coldly.
He mumbled a string of foreign languages.
Li Fusheng and Huo Beiyuan didn't understand, but Lu Weiguo and others understood.
The man said they were yellow-skinned monkeys and told them to get out of the United States.
The angry eyes of the six soldiers who had been on the battlefield made the other party shrink subconsciously, and then humiliated.
The other party looked at the security personnel on the scene, and felt relieved. Then he turned to Shi Tingyu and the others and drew a line between his eyes.
Shi Tingyu quickly picked up the camera and took a picture of the other party.
The other party was startled by her action and was about to reach out to grab Shi Tingyu's camera.
Lu Weiguo grabbed his wrist with a clamp.
The black man gritted his teeth and did not scream.
The other party knew in his heart that if this matter became a big deal and he was found to be discriminatory, he would most likely be kicked out of the venue.
Shi Tingyu patted Lu Weiguo's hand and asked him to let the man go first.
Lu Weiguo resisted the urge to beat him up and reluctantly let go.
Shi Tingyu smiled and said to the black man softly, "Want some watermelon? I'll treat you."
Chinese people:...? ?
Just when Lu Weiguo and the others were puzzled, they found that the black man's face changed instantly.
Everyone was confused.
Shi Tingyu then formed seals with his hands, made a set of complex hand gestures, and muttered, "Taishang Laojun, hurry up and command."
Then he pushed his hands in the direction of the black man.
The black man was so scared that he sat down on the ground, his face was very panicked, and he kept checking his body.
Shi Tingyu smiled evilly at the other party.
The people next to him noticed the movement here and turned around to ask them what happened.
Shi Tingyu said, "The gentleman who fell down..."
Before she finished her words, the black man quickly got up from the ground and interrupted her, "Nothing, I accidentally fell down."
Shi Tingyu snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.
It would be bad for the person who was giving a speech at this time to make a fuss.
The people around turned away after realizing that nothing happened.
Shi Tingyu's face returned to its cold and hard state.
She had seen this spellcasting video on the Internet before, and she suddenly thought of it and used it to scare the other party. Apparently, black people in this era can't stand being scared.
Lu Weiguo took Shi Tingyu's hand and asked, "What did that mean just now?" As soon as
Lu Weiguo asked, the others also pricked up their ears to listen.
"Are you talking about inviting him to eat watermelon?" Shi Tingyu asked.
Everyone nodded.
Shi Tingyu then told them about the history of black people before liberation.
It has to be said that these black people are also weird. On the one hand, they shout that black lives are precious, while on the other hand, they are doing yellow lives are cheap.
Most of the thousands of attacks on Asians in later generations were done by blacks, and a few were done by whites. Blacks basically carried out fatal attacks, while whites responded by insulting and spitting.
On the one hand, they are afraid of being discriminated against by white people, and on the other hand, they try their best to discriminate against yellow people.
Chinese people living abroad often encounter such things.
Now is not the future, and the country is not as strong as in the future. The discrimination now will only be more serious than in the future.
Everyone nodded in understanding.
It turned out that this watermelon has this origin. No wonder the other party's face was so ugly. It's okay to treat others in their own way.
Ji Ze asked Shi Tingyu curiously: "Sister-in-law, what about the spell you just cast? Sister-in-law, do you still have this skill?"
Shi Tingyu pursed her lips and smiled softly, "That's to scare him. In the future, whenever he is unlucky or injured, he will think of my spell, and then he will be scared to the point of mental weakness."
Everyone looked like they had learned something.
When things got quiet here, Lu Weiguo whispered in her ear: "Do you have any backup plan?"
Shi Tingyu's eyes flashed, "I didn't take the photos for nothing, I will publicize this matter when the time comes."
Lu Weiguo nodded, and he felt relieved.
He was thinking about tracking the other party and beating him up.
But their primary goal this time is to protect his wife's safety, so it would be best if they don't have to take action.
Shi Tingyu's eyes were focused on the front again. She thought to herself, she would not only expose the other party, but she would also make him pay later.
