In the gallery, staff are checking the upcoming paintings one by one.

Xu Yanning sat in the suite inside, and the two huge paintings in front of him were covered with white cloth, faintly, the strong colors and contours were revealed.

She looked at her phone, it was calm, she threw it aside a little anxiously, and hatred swelled in her heart.

Zhou Yanhuai's heart is too hard, no matter how she threatens him, he refuses to lower his posture, he seems to be determined to draw a line with her.

Since he didn't mind tearing his face, then she didn't need to keep her sanity, she just wanted to do things that made him uncomfortable now, to make him regret his indifference to her now.

She tore off the white cloth from the painting, called for someone to come over, and put the painting in the most prominent position.

When the painting was hung, she looked at the time, asked someone to open the gallery door, and there were media outside, but there were surprisingly few of them, she thought that it should be less time, so she straightened her clothes and prepared to go out to welcome customers.

She imagined the uproar caused by the art exhibition, and she was about to go out, when suddenly a clerk hurried in and whispered a few words in her ear.

Xu Yanning was stunned for a moment, and then saw a few police-looking people suddenly come in, and asked her very seriously, "Who is in charge here?" ”

"It's me." Xu Yanning walked out and said unhappily, "We are going to hold an exhibition here soon, and there will be a lot of media and celebrities coming, what is the matter with you?" ”

"Someone called the police and said that the paintings sold in your gallery were counterfeits."

Xu Yaning reprimanded, "How is this possible!"

Before she could learn more about it, several media outlets outside who heard the news immediately rushed over.

Xu Yanning said repeatedly, "We have absolutely no fake paintings here, if you have any objections, you can find an authoritative expert for identification." ”

The police only said, "Of course, we will find a professional organization for identification, but now, your art exhibition cannot be opened, and according to the procedure, we will take away some of the paintings in your gallery for evidence." ”

Xu Yaning watched the police take down the freshly hung paintings, and she said indignantly, "You guys are lighter, these paintings are worth millions of dollars!" Can you afford to pay for it?"

The police looked at her babbling appearance and said unceremoniously, "I'm sure it's the real painting that is worth it, Miss Xu, come with us!"

Xu Yaning gritted his teeth, made a phone call before leaving, and reluctantly got into the patrol car.

——

Later, in the hotel, Ji Cong put down the phone and walked to Zhou Yanhuai's side, "Mr. Zhou, Xu Yining refused to admit it, she asked to appoint an expert to identify it, and did not recognize the results of others." The police have released her for the time being, and she is calling the media to press for a press conference. ”

Zhou Yanhuai sat on the sofa with his legs folded, "Let her open." ”

After Xu Yanning was released, she immediately contacted several familiar painters and well-known collectors, who had already been invited to come to see the exhibition, so as soon as she called, they agreed to come over.

The media came more than during the day, Xu Yanning looked left and right, and didn't see Zhou Yanhuai, but she knew that he was paying attention, he knew everything that happened, and even secretly controlled everything that happened.

She was resentful in her heart, and first said to the media, "I will first clarify the rumors about our gallery selling fake paintings, I have entrusted a professional appraisal agency to issue a report, and I believe that the experts will pay me justice." ”

Before she could say more, a voice of righteous indignation suddenly came from the crowd, "Liar! This person makes and sells fakes, don't fall for her!"

Everyone looked over and saw a very familiar figure walking out - a middle-aged man named Lao Mo, who is quite qualified in the collection circle, and there are many people who know him.

As soon as they saw that the person who came out to accuse them of selling counterfeits was Lao Mo, everyone present was shocked.

Xu Yanning reacted the most violently, she said angrily, "It turns out that the person who slandered me is you-you did buy two paintings from me, but those are really genuine, as we all know, I have learned to paint with Jiang Ao, and I am a student of his own hand, and the teacher's painting in my hand is absolutely not fake." ”

Lao Mo said firmly, "You are still quibbling, those fake paintings are from your handwriting, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that you have been deliberately imitating your teacher's style and skills after the price of your teacher's works has risen sharply." You still hype yourself up and open an art exhibition for marketing, but in fact you don't have your own characteristics at all, you will only imitate others completely, your recent paintings are evidence, you completely copy the teacher's techniques, do you dare to say that you didn't move crooked ideas? ”

As he spoke, Lao Mo directly took out two paintings and put them out, "Let's see, the one on the left is Xu Yanning's own signature work, and the one on the right is the painting I bought from her gallery, Jiang Ao's painting, everyone will know if she is lying!"

Everyone came over to see it, they were all people in the industry, and it was clear at a glance that no one would doubt that the two paintings were painted by one person, and the techniques and styles were completely identical.

Xu Yanning's face changed slightly, "What's so strange about students imitating teachers?" If I draw it myself, I will sign it, it doesn't mean that I will impersonate the name of the teacher!"

"It's good if you admit that you've been deliberately imitating your teacher, everyone in the circle is there, I might as well say it directly, Qi Baishi said that "those who learn from me live, and those who are like me die", people like you who are not very talented, you are still imitating your teacher after painting for so long, you have neither artistic level nor artistic morality, and your marketing can be stopped, the art circle is to make people like you stink. ”
