Chapter 142 Thorough Investigation
Several art professors on the stage were discussing and marveling at the performance, occasionally giving exclamations of praise.
They gained a new appreciation for this painting, and were once again amazed at the artist's exceptional skill. After all, not everyone possesses such talent. Adding one's name to one's own painting is no easy task. One must blend the name into the painting, without even a hint of incongruity. Otherwise, the painting would be ruined.
Moreover, even if you draw your own name, you cannot let others see it, otherwise it will be considered a failure.
The author of this painting handled it particularly well, using the classic complex square seal script to make the name and the lines of the mountains and rivers blend into one, so natural that you can't tell it's a name at all.
Following the professors' exclamations, the audience fell completely silent, with shock evident on everyone's face. Clearly, this was a result they had not expected.
Written by Zhong Nianyao.
Doesn't that mean that this painting was really painted by Zhong Nianyao? Otherwise, who would add someone else's name to their own painting so subtly? Moreover, the name was followed by the word "着".
This means that Shen Yixue's award-winning work was not painted by herself at all, but was stolen from Zhong Nianyao.
When everyone looked at Shen Yixue, their eyes were full of naked contempt.
Shen Yixue stood on the stage, her lips were completely bloodless, her body was trembling, and she couldn't say anything at all.
She felt icy cold, as if she were still soaking in ice water in the dead of winter. She had never imagined that the artist of this vast landscape painting was actually Zhong Nianyao. Moreover, Zhong Nianyao had actually left a secret behind when she painted it, and had subtly added her own name in it.
It's over. It's all over now.
Now that so many people are here, they all know that the painting belongs to Zhong Nianyao. Soon, this matter will spread throughout the academy. How will she face people then?
Today should have been the most glorious day of her life, but now it has become the darkest day of her life.
"Xiaoxue, what's going on?" Li Jingming looked at everything that happened in front of him in disbelief, then he directly pressed Shen Yixue's shoulders and asked directly, "Explain it! This painting was drawn by you, and it has nothing to do with Zhong Nianyao. Hurry up and tell me!"
He couldn't believe that Shen Yixue, who had always been pure and beautiful, would actually do such a thing. This kind of Shen Yixue completely overturned his understanding.
"Li Jingming, you are really blind!"
Zhao Xuanlang, who was in the audience, stood up and spoke loudly, "Isn't the truth obvious now? Shen Yixue, that shameless person, actually dared to steal my eldest brother's work to participate in the competition. After winning first place, she shamelessly accepted congratulations from so many people."
“Shen Yixue, you are really shameless enough!”
The questioning made Shen Yixue's face even more embarrassed. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to say. The more nervous she was, the faster her heartbeat became.
Then, everything went black before her eyes and she lost consciousness.
"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, how are you?"
Seeing Shen Yixue fainted, Li Jingming reacted quickly. He immediately supported Shen Yixue. Then, he began to check nervously. After discovering that Shen Yixue was not injured, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, he immediately picked up Shen Yixue and ran out.
Although he felt very sad and disappointed that Shen Yixue had done such a thing. However, in his heart, Shen Yixue was still very important. Therefore, in his eyes now, the most important thing was Shen Yixue's safety.
Shen Yixue, one of the protagonists, left the scene in embarrassment.
However, her departure did not cause others to leave. Instead, the discussion became more and more intense.
At this time, Chen Lian'er had already sneaked away from the stage. She didn't dare to stay there any longer, fearing that if she attracted other people's attention, her situation would become embarrassing.
At the same time, she also blamed Shen Yixue in her heart for doing such a thing and deceiving her all the time. It made her look like a clown and stand up for Shen Yixue many times.
On the stage, when several professors from the Art Department looked at Zhong Nian Yao again, their eyes were as if they had seen some treasure.
As people who were devoted to art, they never paid attention to the rumors in the academy. So they didn't know much about Zhong Nianyao, but this did not prevent them from appreciating her.
They felt that it would be a waste of talent if a promising young talent like Zhong Nianyao did not go to their art academy.
Xue Zhi's eyes lit up. He took a step forward and came in front of Zhong Nianyao, assuring her, "This little classmate is called Zhong Nianyao, right? I'm older than you, so I'll be more generous and call you by your name."
"Nian Yao, don't worry. Our Calligraphy and Painting Association will investigate this matter thoroughly. As for all of Shen Yixue's achievements, we will cancel them all. After the investigation is thorough, we will make everything public and will never let you suffer any injustice."
Looking at Xue Zhi's serious expression, Zhong Nianyao's mouth twitched involuntarily.
She really wanted to say that there was no need to be so serious. The reason why she chose to expose Shen Yixue today was just because she didn't want her things to become a stepping stone for Shen Yixue to rise to prominence.
However, this matter does need to be thoroughly investigated. Moreover, it's not just the calligraphy and painting association, the school side -
A trace of confusion flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes, and then she turned her head and looked at the school leader who had not yet recovered from the shock, and spoke directly, "Director, shouldn't the school also give me an explanation for this matter? Why did the work I submitted end up being Shen Yixue's?"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's almost interrogative words, the school leader did not get angry. Instead, he said seriously, "Student Zhong Nianyao, the school will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. If anyone is found to have violated any regulations, the school will definitely punish them severely."
Zhong Nianyao was still very satisfied with the attitude of the school leaders.
What happened that day was like a farce and soon spread throughout the school.
