Eldest sister Xu Qingcheng agreed, "Second brother, you really should be grateful to Xu Mo. If it weren't for his willingness to forgive and forget, you wouldn't have a future!"
Third sister Xu Qingxue: "I'm so envious of second sister! But I'm sure the painting Xiao Mo prepared for me won't be too bad either!"
Xu Mengting and Xu Wenwan watched silently from the side. It was impossible not to feel envious; their eyes even held a hint of jealousy.
However, it's even more impossible to get them to bless their second sister, because even if their second sister earns a lot of money, it has little to do with them, and they won't even get a share!
Xu Mo looked at his third sister, Xu Qingxue, and then handed her the painting: "This painting is called 'Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers,' which emphasizes a grand and magnificent style, showcasing the beauty of traditional Chinese painting. In it, I painted mountains, rivers, plum blossoms... a work that moves from far to near. It has a completely different style from the previous 'Dawn,' but in essence, it is still positive and uplifting, and I have extended it by incorporating the charm of traditional Chinese painting!"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue was shocked by the size of the painting and was also slightly moved: "Xiao Mo, your painting is so big? You must have stayed up very late to finish it, right?"
Xu Mo frowned and said, "This painting is 3 meters long and 70 centimeters wide. Besides, it didn't take long to complete and didn't interfere with my rest last night!"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue eagerly unfurled the painting, and then, a stunning painting was completely revealed to the group of people.
The eldest sister, Xu Qingcheng, covered her mouth and exclaimed, "My God, Xiao Mo is amazing! He actually completed such a masterpiece all by himself!"
Second Sister Xu Ruyan couldn't help but take a second look: "I can see Xiao Mo's talent in the painting! He can't be described as just a genius! He's simply, unparalleled in history!"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue said gratefully, "I don't know if the leaders will like this painting, but I can be sure that the dean will like it. Anyway, my position as the dean of Xinghe Art Academy is secure!"
Fourth Sister Xu Mengting's jealousy intensified, and she muttered, "It's just the position of Dean of Xinghe Art Academy, what's so great about it? Even if you get it, you didn't earn it through your own abilities!"
Fifth Sister Xu Wenwan warned, "No matter what, I suggest you be careful, Third Sister. Don't let your true colors show and end up with a bad reputation for stealing other people's paintings!"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue was in a good mood. Although she disdained what her fourth and fifth sisters said, she still showed off in a friendly manner: "Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, you probably don't know what art is!"
"No matter what my previous paintings were like, once I become the dean of Xinghe Art Academy, even if I just randomly draw a Mickey Mouse or write a few words on rice paper, even if they are terrible and messy characters, people will still pay a high price to buy them!"
"Do you know why? I know you'll say things like, 'The clown is in the hall, the master is in the wilderness,' but that's okay. True masters never show off! Take Xiao Mo, for example! Xiao Mo's strength has already reached a point where he doesn't care about this little bit of fame..."
"In order to get in touch with Xiao Mo, the leaders, and the old dean through me, those people all had to buy my paintings at high prices. So what do you call this? This is about human relationships!"
When Aunt Liu saw the painting, she exclaimed in shock, "Young Master Mo, you are so amazing!"
Xu Mo gleaned some insights from his third sister Xu Qingxue's words, and it was the first time he had ever seen art in such a way.
However, he wasn't very interested.
If he wanted to create paintings like "Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers," he could produce more than a dozen in a single day. How much he could sell them for is still an unknown!
Most famous paintings are sold for their reputation! They showcase interpersonal relationships! They're not flaunting the paintings themselves, but rather wealth and vanity!
Xu Mo was an unknown figure, so even if his paintings were stunning, it was unlikely that anyone would pay a high price to buy them. In his opinion, he was unwilling to spend hundreds of thousands or millions to buy a painting by an unknown person, because that seemed too foolish!
After dealing with his third sister's matter, Xu Mo turned his gaze to his fourth sister, Xu Mengting: "Fourth sister, have you contacted the boss of Yuanhang Company?"
Fourth Sister Xu Mengting nodded happily: "Yes, yes, he couldn't wait to contact you after he found out you were the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but I kept refusing him because you were busy... Just yesterday, I took the initiative to contact him, and he said he could make time to meet you anytime!"
Xu Mo couldn't understand why the owner of Yuanhang Company always wanted to see him. He clearly had a company worth billions and countless riches. He could recruit any kind of talent he wanted, so why did it have to be him?
"Since we've already made arrangements in advance, let's set off now. I'm also very curious about what compelling reason he has to see me!"
Fourth Sister Xu Mengting immediately got up and sent a message to the boss of Yuanhang Company, arranging to meet him at a certain place.
After she had done all that, she took Xu Mo to a five-star restaurant.
The two arrived at the restaurant and entered the designated dining room.
They saw a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap sitting on the sofa.
Xu Mo looked at the middle-aged man with a weathered face in front of him and asked, "May I ask who you are?"
The middle-aged man immediately stood up, excitedly grasped Xu Mo's hand, and shook it vigorously: "Hello, hello, I am Liu Tianyu, the boss of Yuanhang Company. I started out in the coal mining business, so many people like to call me Coal Boss. A few years ago, the coal mining industry was in a slump, so I chose to invest in the Yuanhang transportation industry. Also, if you don't mind, you can call me Boss Liu or General Manager Liu, call me whatever you like, I don't mind!"
Xu Mo was taken aback by Boss Liu's enthusiasm and took the initiative to distance himself from him, asking, "Do we know each other?"
Liu Tianyu gave an awkward laugh and immediately said, "I'm sorry, it was my presumption. I didn't explain some things clearly, which is why you didn't understand. I understand! After all, what stranger is as enthusiastic as me, right?"
Xu Mo frowned even more deeply: "So! Why do you insist on seeing me? And why have you invested so much money in my fourth sister over the years?"
From a realistic point of view, Xu Mo did not want his fourth sister, Xu Mengting, to have a good life, so his words naturally carried a hint of resentment.
Liu Tianyu then realized that Xu Mo and his fourth sister didn't seem to have a good relationship. He looked at Xu Mengting and explained, "But this lady told me before that she is your sister, and if I want to get to know you, I need her to act as an intermediary!"
Xu Mo was speechless: "So you just let her squeeze every last drop of profit out of you? Instead of handing over all that profit to me directly?"
