The old secretary and Mayor Luo, under the leadership of the curator Yue Yunling, came to the exhibition hall on the second floor to view the exhibition, followed by several provincial and municipal officials and secretaries.

Yue Yunling smiled, and as he walked, he reported to the old secretary and Mayor Luo the results of this year's art exhibition and the work to be carried out in the future.

The old secretary said to Yue Yunling: "Director Yue, let's not talk about work today, Mayor Luo and I just came to see the art exhibition, you can take us to see it." ”

Yue Yunling has long known that the old secretary is close to the people, and when he saw it today, he felt it firsthand.

And for so many years, it was the first time for the old secretary to come to the art exhibition in person, and Yue Yunling was still a little excited.

He no longer reported to the old secretary and Mayor Luo, and took the two of them to see the exhibition like ordinary people.

However, even though the old secretary and Mayor Luo were very low-key, the citizens who visited the exhibition still recognized them and greeted the two one after another.

The old secretary and the mayor of Luo City had no fight, and they also waved hello to the citizens, and wherever they went, the citizens came up to greet them, which shows how popular the two are among the citizens.

There are also many young people who took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and took pictures of the old secretary and Mayor Luo greeting the citizens cordially, and put them on Weibo.

Yue Yunling took the old secretary and Mayor Luo, just like this, while watching the art exhibition, interacting with the citizens, and unconsciously came to Lin Fei and Kong Lao, these painters.

Seeing that the old secretary and Mayor Luo were coming, Chen Gongnan, who was eager to show up and wanted to give a good impression to the old secretary and Mayor Luo, was the first to step forward with a smile on his face and respectfully greeted the old secretary and Mayor Luo: "Old secretary, Mayor Luo, welcome to the exhibition, please give us more guidance." ”

The old secretary and Mayor Luo couldn't help but be stunned by Chen Gongnan's serious and thoughtful greetings.

The old secretary looked at Chen Gongnan and said, "Who are you this comrade?"

Chen Gongnan hurriedly said: "I am Chen Gongnan, deputy director of the art museum and vice chairman of the Provincial Art Association. ”

The old secretary didn't expect that when Chen Gongnan introduced himself, he would have to report his two job titles, although he didn't know who Chen Gongnan, the deputy director and vice chairman of the Art Association, was?

But he still stretched out his palm to Chen Gongnan: "It turned out to be Comrade Chen Gongnan, hello!"

"Hello, old secretary. Chen Gongnan hurriedly held the old secretary's palm and smiled brightly.

Although Mayor Luo on the side felt that Chen Gongnan, who did not forget to report his two job titles in front of the old secretary, was too vain and formal, the old secretary shook hands with him.

Mayor Luo also shook hands with Chen Gongnan as usual.

At this time, Kong Lao and other old painters came over to greet the old secretary and Mayor Luo.

These old painters can be said to be both virtuous and artistic in South China Province, and they are also old painters for decades.

The old secretary and Mayor Luo knew them on the contrary, and they also greeted them noisily and warmly, and said a few words of homely things.

This made Chen Gongnan, the first person in South China, the deputy director of the Provincial Art Museum and the vice chairman of the Art Association, who felt that he was a big man, felt very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Mayor Luo looked at Kong Lao and asked, "Kong Lao, I told you last time at Huadu University that I asked Lin Fei to participate in this art exhibition, didn't he come?"

Kong Lao hurriedly said, "Mayor Luo, Lin Fei is here." ”

But as soon as Kong Lao turned around, he didn't know when there were more than a dozen young and middle-aged painters standing behind him, and Lin Fei was squeezed behind by these people at some point, and he couldn't even see his face, only his head.

So, the old man said to a dozen young and middle-aged painters who were eager to show up in front of the old secretary and Mayor Luo: "Please let go, let go!"

Then, Kong Lao couldn't help but pass through the layers of obstacles of these dozen young and middle-aged painters, and then took Lin Fei's hand, broke through the layers of obstacles, and came to the old secretary and Mayor Luo.

"Old Secretary, Mayor Luo, hello!" Although Lin Fei had long wanted to come up and greet them, there were too many people who wanted to get close to and close the relationship between the old secretary and Mayor Luo.

As soon as he didn't notice, he was pushed to the back.

"Lin Fei!" Seeing Lin Fei, the old secretary was a little surprised, then looked at Mayor Luo and said, "Mayor Luo, this is what you told me, a young genius painter!" (Note: This is a teenager, not really a teenager, just used to describe Lin Fei's youth.) ）

Mayor Luo nodded solemnly to the old secretary: "That's right, it's him." ”

"Mayor Luo, you may not think that I have known this young genius painter for a long time, and I can tell you for sure that he is not only a genius painter, but also a Hua Tuo, yes, Hua Tuo!" the old secretary said to Mayor Luo with a smile.

As soon as the old secretary's words came out, Chen Gongnan and those young and middle-aged painters were so jealous that they were like overturning a vat of old vinegar, not to mention how sour.

Chen Gongnan didn't expect that as the deputy director, vice chairman of the Art Association, and the name of the first famous artist in South China, he tried his best to get close to the old secretary and Mayor Luo.

In the end, the old secretary and Mayor Luo became closer to the old guys.

What he didn't expect the most was that the old secretary and Mayor Luo actually knew Lin Fei, and Mayor Luo said that Lin Fei was a young genius painter, and the old secretary also praised Lin Fei as Hua Tuo.

This made Chen Gongnan feel that he was in the limelight, and he was robbed of all by Lin Fei at once, and he couldn't tell how jealous he was.

Kong Lao, these old painters, heard the old secretary say that he knew Lin Fei, he was also shocked, those old painters were very envious of Kong Lao, there are disciples like Lin Fei who even the old secretary and Mayor Luo have praised him, Kong Lao, who is a teacher, has a lot of face!

"Old secretary, Mayor Luo, you have won the award. In the face of the praise of the old secretary and Mayor Luo, Lin Fei was very modest.

Lin Fei's modesty made the old painters feel that Chen Gongnan's love was in the limelight, which made them appreciate Lin Fei more.

"By the way, Lin Fei, Mayor Luo has always recommended to me that your oil painting "The Old Man and Suona" was made for Mrs. Liang, the last veteran of the Red Army in our city, so today I specially came to see with Mayor Luo, which exhibition hall is your painting in?" The old secretary looked at Lin Fei and asked.

When Chen Gongnan heard this, his face was shocked, and his heart was even more jealous: This is impossible! How could the old secretary and Mayor Luo come to the exhibition in person, just to see Lin Fei's paintings?

Thinking of the previous time he had repeatedly laughed at Lin Fei, and then seeing the deep eyes of the old painters, he looked at him sarcastically.

Chen Gongnan's face was pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and even his legs trembled subconsciously in his pants, as if he would fall to the ground at any time.

At this moment, Kong Lao pointed to Chen Gongnan and said to the old secretary: "Old secretary, which exhibition hall Lin Fei's paintings are in, this Deputy Curator Chen must know, you might as well ask Deputy Curator Chen." ”

Chen Gongnan's eyes looked at Kong Lao at once, and his anger was indescribable, this Kong Lao obviously knew where Lin Fei's painting was, but he asked him to tell the old secretary.

This is clearly to make him, who is very embarrassed, the object of everyone's jokes.

This old thing is clearly falling into the well!

The old secretary looked at Chen Gongnan, whose face changed and was very embarrassed, and said, "Deputy Director Chen, can you take me to see Lin Fei's "The Old Man and Suona"?"
