Chapter 66: True and False
Zheng Gongzi regretted it as soon as he said it, because Wen Dou himself was not sure of victory, let alone what he compared to him? And the reason why he came to meet Lin Zhimo was to find someone to teach him a lesson, how did he end up competing with him.
Zheng Gongzi is not stupid, he understands after a little thought, Lin Zhimo should have understood his intentions from the beginning, and then forced himself step by step with words to the point where he had to compete with him.
Thinking about Zheng Gongzi this time, a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his back, Lin Zhimo's thinking was too meticulous, and he unknowingly fell into his language trap.
However, the words have already been spoken, and because the volume was unconsciously amplified when the two were talking just now, it has attracted the attention of the people around them, and Zheng Gongzi can't regret it at this time.
At this moment, Huo Qigang, the host of the banquet, appeared, with a faint smile on his face, and asked, "Zhigang, what are you guys playing, so lively?" ”
A light joke turned the two people from a hostile state to a joke.
At this time, Lin Zhimo also knew that this Zheng Gongzi was called Zheng Zhigang, but he didn't know what it had to do with the Zheng family, one of the top ten chaebols in Xiangjiang.
Zheng Zhigang was also relieved to see Huo Qigang appear, otherwise he would really have to come up with a way to make people laugh, he also smiled reluctantly, and said: "It's nothing, Brother Qigang, I had a little misunderstanding with this brother just now, and now it's okay." ”
You must know that it was Huo Qigang who held the banquet after all, regardless of what identity Lin Zhimo came in, since the host of the banquet had already spoken, Zheng Zhigang wanted to give face to the host no matter what.
Huo Qigang saw Zheng Zhigang's expression and knew that the other party was still a little uneven, and he thought about it, the eldest grandson of the dignified Xiangjiang Zheng family was forced to such a role by an artist, no wonder he was indignant.
Huo Qigang was thinking about whether to ask Lin Zhimo to apologize to Zheng Zhigang, so he heard Li Zekai behind him say: "Hey, Zhimo, why are you here, I said I looked everywhere and you couldn't find it." ”
When Huo Qigang heard this, a light flashed in his eyes, and Zheng Zhigang on the side was also shocked, and glanced at Lin Zhimo in surprise, he didn't expect that the other party could actually become friends with Li Zekai, and he was a little apprehensive for a while.
Lin Zhimo also discovered Li Zekai, and now he was followed by two people, a blonde foreigner and a thin Chinese.
"That foreigner should be the James Li Zekai said." Lin Zhimo said in his heart, but he said: "I felt a little stuffy just now, thinking that the deck is breathable." ”
Huo Qigang said with a smile: "It turns out that this gentleman is a friend brought by Uncle Li, no wonder he is a little faceless." ”
Because Li Zekai is far from being like the children of other wealthy families, he is omniscient, so he often brings some ordinary children to attend various occasions, so Huo Qigang will say this.
As for calling Li Zekai "uncle", it was from Li Jiacheng, Huo Qigang and Zheng Zhigang are both the third generation in the family, while Li Zekai is the second generation, and they are the same generation as their parents.
Li Zekai said with a smile: "Lin Sheng, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Huo Qigang Huo, and this is Mr. Zheng Zhigang Zheng." ”
Lin Zhimo naturally didn't know what to do, but he still had a cold face, and he shook hands with the two with a smile and said, "Hello, hello, I'm Lin Zhimo." When shaking hands with Zheng Zhigang, Lin Zhimo wanted to make him ugly with his hands, but he was afraid that the other party would not be able to bear the pain and cry out, and he would be too embarrassed at that time, so this idea was abandoned by him after turning around in his mind.
Zheng Zhigang was naturally depressed, but at the same time, he also put away his contempt for Lin Zhimo, no matter what identity Lin Zhimo became friends with Li Zekai, if he wanted to move again, he would need to consider Li Zekai's reaction.
Huo Qigang saw that Lin Zhimo and the two were not tense and confronted each other, so he smiled and said: "Since the two of you already know each other, I won't say much, but I think the competition between the two of you still has to go on, why don't you just let me come up with the question and you can try it?" ”
Huo Qigang's words were taken into account Zheng Zhigang's face problem, after all, he had already said the words of the competition in front of so many people just now, if he took it so easily, Zheng Zhigang couldn't help but have a trace of dissatisfaction with himself in his heart, so he put forward such a proposal.
Sure enough, Zheng Zhigang's face looked much better after hearing Huo Qigang's words, and said: "I have always admired Brother Qigang very much. Okay, today, brother, I'll listen to your arrangement, what do you say? ”
Lin Zhimo naturally agreed. Lin Zhimo is also very clear about the current situation, knowing that Huo Qigang said this to make Zheng Zhigang more decent, not for himself, and he thinks that the next proposed competition method should be some kind of harmless game or something.
Sure enough, Huo Qigang smiled: "I bought an oil painting a few days ago, but a friend of mine told me that it was a fake, and now the results of the technical test have not yet come out. ”
Zheng Zhigang has been very fond of art since he was a child, and he also has some collections of artworks, so he said: "Okay, let's compare it to this, I want to see what kind of fake Brother Qigang will be eyed by." ”
Lin Zhimo's opinion at this time was no longer important, so he could only follow everyone into an exhibition room inside the yacht.
Coming to an oil painting about half a meter long and 40 centimeters high, Huo Qigang said: "This is this painting, I thought it was a landscape painting by the famous French painter Millet, but after being said to be a fake by my friend, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that something was wrong...... However, whether it is analyzed in terms of style, brush, canvas or paint, this is undoubtedly a genuine painting, so now it will be up to you two to find his flaws. ”
Li Zekai said with a smile: "Qigang, didn't you deliberately embarrass them, even if you haven't found it for so long, how can they find it all at once?" ”
Huo Qigang spread his hands when he heard this, and said: "My friend only looked at it for less than five minutes and saw it, and told me that this is definitely a fake, because there is a very obvious flaw in the painting." I was also unconvinced, and I had to do an ultraviolet loss test after looking for a long time but not finding it, and now I am waiting for the results to come out to judge the period of this painting. ”
Li Zekai also became a little interested when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then I will also join in the fun to find out." ”
The painting depicts a night scene with a deep blue sky dotted with stars, a 19th-century dwelling below, and a quietly flowing river at the bottom, with a few faint figures washing clothes by the river, and a few yellow wildflowers blooming around them.
The whole painting gives people a sense of tranquility and comfort, reminiscent of the tranquility of the French countryside in the 19th century.
Zheng Zhigang frowned and carefully observed for a long time, and finally took out a magnifying glass to look closer, but still didn't find any flaws, and said with a smile: "Brother Qigang, you didn't deliberately make up a story for us, why didn't I find the 'obvious' flaw that your friend said?" ”
The word "obvious" accentuated the tone when he spoke, and the meaning was very clear, your friend wouldn't be pretending to understand.
"In my opinion, this is Miller's work!" Zheng Zhigang patted his chest and said.
Huo Qigang spread his hands and said, "I didn't lie to you, my friend ......" was about to speak, his phone rang, and he made an apologetic gesture to everyone, Huo Qigang walked to the side to answer the phone.
Zheng Zhigang looked at Lin Zhimo, who was still scrutinizing carefully, and said, "Lin Zhimo, how is it, have you found anything?" ”
Lin Zhimo didn't pay attention to Zheng Zhigang's words, he just looked at this painting in a daze, and had the same feeling as Huo Qigang, Lin Zhimo was also a little awkward when he looked at this painting at first glance, but he couldn't say what was awkward.
Zheng Zhigang looked at Lin Zhimo frowning and thinking and pouted secretly, in his opinion, where do these artists know how to distinguish art, they are just pretending.
Seeing that Li Zekai didn't have an idea on his side, he approached Lin Zhimo and sneered in a low voice: "Boy, don't pretend here, I'm afraid you don't know who Miller is, right?" ”
Seeing that Lin Zhimo was still staring at the painting and ignoring himself, Zheng Zhigang's face turned a little blue, and his mouth was even more unceremoniously ridiculed: "Don't think that you are great if you become a little star, you will always be just a toad sitting in a well and watching the sky, and we are eagles flying in the sky, you will never understand our world in your life!" ”
When Lin Zhimo heard Zheng Zhigang say the word "sky", a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Yes, I am the frog sitting in the well and watching the sky...... But, alas, the frog saw the flaws in the painting! ”
Zheng Zhigang's eyes widened.
At this moment, Huo Qigang walked over with a wry smile on his face and said, "The test results are out, this painting is a work from the middle of this century." I think if Miller hadn't lived to be over a hundred years old, there would have been no doubt that the painting would have been a complete fake, as my friend had said. ”
The color of Zheng Zhigang's face changed like a marquee, from white to red, from red to blue, from blue to purple......
He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know how to speak, after all, he had just doubted Huo Qigang's friend's judgment, and patted his chest to promise that this was a genuine handiwork, and the test results immediately showed that he was wrong, and he was right.
Zheng Zhigang was feeling embarrassed, and when he longed for a crack on the ground to let him get into, he caught a glimpse of Lin Zhimo with a smile out of the corner of his eye, and said loudly: "Lin Zhimo, didn't you just say that you also found a flaw, why don't you say it and let us all hear it!" ”
Zheng Zhigang didn't believe that Lin Zhimo really found a flaw in the painting, but thought that Lin Zhimo deliberately said this for the sake of his poor self-esteem.
"And I'm going to expose your true colors!" Zheng Zhigang thought triumphantly.
Everyone suddenly turned their attention to Lin Zhimo.
