Chapter 224 Art is Sublime
Two days later, Gu Lanting went to Yuan Xiao's house and told her about Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng went to the police station to surrender and said that she would cooperate with them to arrest Fu Yuanping.
Yuan Xiao put down what he was holding and asked, "Do you believe it?"
Gu Lanting touched her hair, "Whether you believe it or not, it won't affect our plan. Before the wedding, I will definitely bring Fu Yuanping to justice."
At the same time, he brought a piece of news: "Zhong Xiaofeng is in jail."
Yuan Xiao sat up straight and looked up at him, "Didn't this matter involve Fu Yuanping?"
"No," Gu Lanting said, "Not only that, three-quarters of the people in Dalan Village were involved in criminal transactions."
Yuan Xiao was shocked, "Will Uncle He be affected?"
"Yes." There is no doubt about it.
Yuan Xiao felt a little uncomfortable. If it weren't for this incident, He Changlin could have been promoted.
Gu Lanting comforted him, "Uncle He is not as fragile as you think. He has done a lot for Qushui County before, so his merits and demerits can be considered to be offset."
Yuan Xiao felt a little disappointed. Drugs are really harmful to others and oneself.
Gu Lanting still had things to deal with, so he said a few words and left.
Not long after, Teacher Qin came to the door.
Yuan Xiao guessed that there should be progress on the matter he asked her to do.
"I specifically asked Professor Tan for your home address. I'm coming here uninvited. You won't be unhappy, will you?"
Yuan Xiao quickly invited her in. "I should be the one visiting you."
Teacher Qin sat down. "I mobilized students to participate in what you mentioned last time. Currently, there are more than a hundred students who have signed up, but some students are from the same place, and their paintings are inevitably repetitive. So I came to ask for your opinion."
"It doesn't matter. Even if it's the same hometown, it will present different things in the eyes of different people. The only thing is that I don't want them to just make up the numbers."
Teacher Qin's eyes were filled with pride. "You can rest assured. If we really give you a bad one, wouldn't it ruin our reputation? Come to the school in three days to inspect the results."
...
Three days later, Yuan Xiao arrived as promised and went to the Academy of Fine Arts to get the draft.
But before I even walked into Teacher Qin's office, I heard an argument.
A man argued with Teacher Qin until his face turned red. "Art is noble, how can you turn it into a tool for making money? And you openly encourage students to participate in school. I have no place to put my face!"
Teacher Qin's face turned red, and he was obviously angry. "Mr. Hua, what they are doing now is meaningful. Before they have lofty ideals, they also need to fill their stomachs, right? What is a means of making money? If they don't make money, do they have food to eat? If "If their paintings can be appreciated by others and they can make money, why not do it?"
Next to the man called Mr. Hua, there was a girl standing. She was also filled with righteous indignation at this moment, and looked at Teacher Qin with accusatory eyes: "Teacher Qin, if everyone is thinking about making money, how can art be developed? Art is so noble, how can it be compared with such vulgar things as money? What's more, this is in school, and you encourage more than a hundred students to participate in this matter, which will bring a bad atmosphere to the school!"
"Hua Jingjing!" Teacher Qin was furious.
Yuan Xiao was stunned.
If these two people really regard money as dirt, then the clothes and shoes they wear, and the watches and bracelets they wear are not cheap!
She raised her hand and knocked on the door, "Teacher Qin, I'm here to pick up the drawings."
Teacher Qin tried to suppress his anger, "Come in."
Hua Jingjing glared at Yuan Xiao, "Are you the one who bought the painting?"
Yuan Xiao ignored her and walked to Teacher Qin, "Can I see the drawings?"
Teacher Qin opened the drawer and took out several neatly arranged sheets of paper.
"I have classified them according to the province."
Yuan Xiao took the drawings with surprise. There were not only drawings, but also annotations, which were some of the students' views and thoughts about their hometowns.
No doubt Teacher Qin asked them to add these, and Yuan Xiao had to admire Teacher Qin's attentiveness.
Yuan Xiao took out a bag from her bag, "Teacher Qin, this is the royalties, please help me distribute it. If they have any more manuscripts later, they can contact me directly."
Yuan Xiao was about to leave, Hua Jingjing moved and stood in front of her, "I was just talking to you, why are you so rude!"
Yuan Xiao glanced at Teacher Qin with confusion in his eyes, who is this?
Teacher Qin introduced awkwardly: "This is Mr. Hua's granddaughter Hua Jingjing, and she is also a student of our Academy of Fine Arts."
Yuan Xiao said, "Then Teacher Qin, I'm leaving first."
Hua Jingjing was angry and stopped her from leaving, "Why are you ignoring me?"
Yuan Xiao just felt that she was inexplicable, "I don't know you, why should I care about you."
"Teacher Qin just said that my name is Hua Jingjing!"
Yuan Xiao raised his eyebrows, so what?
"I ask you, why did you buy paintings from my classmates!" Hua Jingjing was arrogant.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Yuan Xiao asked back.
Hua Jingjing stomped her feet in anger, "You ruined our study style, why does it have nothing to do with me?"
Yuan Xiao frowned, "When did I ruin your study style?"
Teacher Qin reprimanded: "Hua Jingjing, stop nagging!"
"I'm not nagging! I said, art is art, it cannot be a tool to make money!" She pointed at the money on the table, "These things have tarnished our art, how can this not ruin our study style?"
Yuan Xiao lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the chain and watch on her hand, "Where did you get this thing?"
Hua Jingjing covered her wrist, "My mother gave it to me, what is it for?"
"Did you pick it up or steal it?" Yuan Xiao asked again.
Hua Jingjing's face was distorted, "How could I wear something I picked up? Don't insult me casually!"
Yuan Xiao sneered, "Since it was neither picked up nor stolen, then you must have bought it? It shouldn't be cheap. You wear such an expensive thing here to study art. Aren't you afraid that this vulgar thing will taint your noble art?"
Hua Jingjing's face flushed, and she was speechless.
She looked at her grandfather with grievance, "Grandpa, look at her!"
Mr. Hua looked at Yuan Xiao coldly, "You are very good at talking."
Yuan Xiao looked at him with innocent eyes, "Is this also a teacher at the school?"
Teacher Qin said, "No, this is Mr. Hua from the Beijing Art Association."
Mr. Hua snorted coldly, "I hope you can put down the painting in your hand, take your money and leave, and don't do such things that ruin the academic atmosphere in the future!"
Yuan Xiao hugged the painting in his hand tightly, "Mr. Hua, my grandma is 55 years old this year."
Mr. Hua frowned, "What does that have to do with me?"
"Then what does it have to do with you if I ask students from the art academy to paint for me? You are not a teacher at the school, you are not a student at the school, and you are not related to me. What qualifications do you have to make decisions for me?"
