Chapter 245 What you said makes a lot of sense
"Is Elder Xia really planning to let that kid be a judge?"
The latest intelligence has been delivered to Li Donglai, and when he saw one of the pieces of intelligence, a strange expression immediately appeared on his face.
Is there a problem?
Situ Changqing leisurely brewed tea.
"That one landscape painting alone, with its harmonious blend of artistic conception and atmosphere, is enough to quell all dissenting voices."
"Of course, if you insist on bringing up seniority, then I have nothing to say."
After saying that, Situ Changqing put the brewed tea into his mouth.
Did I mention qualifications?
Li Donglai glanced at Situ Changqing with annoyance: "What was the theme of this competition again? If I remember correctly, it was the four arts: music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, right?"
Situ Changqing continued drinking his tea, it was unclear whether he had listened or not.
"I'm just wondering, does that silly kid who has intermittent bouts of mental instability really know how to play chess?"
puff!
Situ Changqing suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea.
Li Donglai didn't bring it up, and he hadn't even thought about it in that direction!
The theme of the competition is indeed music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, so the judges selected must also have extraordinary knowledge in these fields.
Simply put, you not only need to be proficient in these four things, but you also need to be stronger than the contestants, if not overwhelming them.
Otherwise, what right do you have to sit on the judging panel and criticize contestants who are far superior to you?
If it were anyone else, whether it were the Xia family or other forces belonging to the organizers, they would treat this issue with caution and carefully scrutinize it.
But Lin Rui is too special.
This twenty-year-old young man was originally a musician and was the first piano master in Xiazhou, and even in China!
Would you question whether someone like that understands the guqin?!
Furthermore...
A landscape painting that blends artistic conception and aesthetics evokes the feeling of being a master of both calligraphy and painting in every viewer. Not to mention this competition, even looking at the whole of China, how many people would dare to question Lin Rui's strength in calligraphy and painting?
No!
For these reasons, everyone, including the organizers, subconsciously overlooked whether Lin Rui knew how to play chess!
"We can't just condemn him outright, can we? Can't we look at it from a more optimistic perspective? What if that kid is actually a very skilled chess player?"
Situ Changqing coughed and began wiping the water stains that had splashed on the tea tray with a tablecloth.
"With that unreliable, erratic guy, are you sure he can really handle something that requires brains?"
Faced with Li Donglai's confident retort, Situ Changqing remained silent.
What you said makes perfect sense!
I was speechless!
Situ Changqing couldn't help but picture Lin Rui sitting on the judges' panel, looking at the players with the same disdainful gaze he had for the chessboard, not at the players themselves.
Damn it!
This scene is absolutely outrageous!
Situ Changqing coughed again: "Did that old ghost Silver Fox think of this part?"
"I don't think so."
Li Donglai rubbed his temples, looking troubled: "Contact Chen Bin and ask him to come up with a solution. If all else fails, we'll just disrupt the game once it reaches the chess stage."
…
Unlike Li Donglai and Situ Changqing, Chen Bin didn't have the same headaches.
The deeper he got to know Lin Rui, the clearer he became about Lin Rui's unfathomable depths.
Of course, if the chess game is indeed Lin Rui's weakness, then he has more than a dozen ways to solve it on the spot.
For Chen Bin, these were minor incidents, not worth mentioning.
