Yin Yuan received a strange phone call.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Shida from the organizer of the Lingnan New Artists Exhibition. That's right, last time you called to inquire about the exhibition, so I now inform you that if you are interested in exhibiting, you will send your works to the Yangcheng Library in the next few days, and we will have professional painters to evaluate whether the works have artistic value and whether they can be exhibited in the museum."

Jiang Shida said: "All the works of the painters are exhibited in the library for half a month, and then the works are graded. Including the public score given by the audience, the expert score given by the expert, and the comprehensive score, the top three award-winning works of this exhibition will be selected, and the top ten potential painters' works will be selected.

In addition to generous bonuses, the top three award-winning works can also get professional guidance from famous painters in the province. Ten potential painters will also receive a certain amount of bonuses, and one or two painting trainings will be organized every year, and famous painters from inside and outside the province will be invited to give lectures."

Yin Yuan said that I will send the work over tomorrow.

He went back to tell Wan Ting about it: "I want to send this "Snow Scene in a Mountain Village in Winter" and "Beauty in the Snow" to be exhibited."

Both drawings were framed and hung on the living room wall, becoming part of the villa's décor.

Wanting said: "Either send that "Winter Mountain Village Snow Scene", and the other one is a beauty, I'm afraid that I won't be worthy of this title and will be laughed at."

"Who said that my wife is not a beauty, I am in a hurry with him."

Yin Yuan believes that sending this kind of picture to the exhibition will not cause any bad impact.

"It's not a *** painting, my wife's *** painting can only be seen by me, and it will definitely not be exhibited."

Wan Ting glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, when did I promise to paint *** painting for you, don't even think about it."

Yin Yuan looked at his son's sleek and delicate, chubby and cute appearance, and said with a smile: "Put the little chubby dun on this soft chair, and I will draw a picture for him, the name is "My Little Chubby Dun", okay?"

Wanting was noncommittal.

At this time, Cheng Bin called him: "The young man who hurt the dog yesterday is the son of Director He, after criticism and education, he has realized his mistake, and he has also compensated the child's medical expenses, so he decided to release him today, do you have a different opinion?"

Yin Yuan said: "This kind of person can teach him a lesson, as for how to deal with it, you just have to make a decision."

After all, there is a background, so you should be cautious when dealing with it.

Cheng Bin asked him, "Are you free now?" If you have one, I will take you to the master's house for tea, and by the way, play a game with him, and you will not suffer if you know his old man."

The characters who used to call for wind and rain in Jiangming City, although they are retired, still have an impact.

Yin Yuan said, "Then I'll pick you up at the City Defense Office?"

Cheng Bin said, "Just wait for me at the gate of Minghua Middle School."

Yin Yuan said to Wan Ting, "Wife, this painting can't be painted again, Lao Cheng took me to visit the retired Boss He, and I may have dinner at his house."

Wanting said, "When you go to someone's house for dinner, you always have to give some gifts, right? Why don't you send some souvenirs from home?"

Yin Yuan picked up two soft-shelled turtles, a few catties of winter bamboo shoots and bacon, a few catties of dried plum vegetables, and a bag of sun-dried peanuts.

Drive to the entrance of Minghua Middle School.

Soon I saw Cheng Bin driving his jeep to meet him.

There is a villa not far from Minghua Middle School, surrounded by a wall on the outside and an iron gate in front.

When the car arrived at the iron gate, Cheng Bin pressed the horn, and a man inside saw that it was Cheng Bin and opened the iron door.

The two parked the car in the small courtyard.

The white-haired old man Yin Yuan saw in the small square was watering the grass in the courtyard.

Cheng Bin said, "Master, I brought Yin Yuan to meet you, his Go level simply crushed me."

He Jian said to Yin Yuan, "Welcome, you were completely right about what you did with my bastard nephew that day, and when I came back, I called my cousin and told him about him."

Cheng Bin said: "After detaining him for one day, he realized his mistake and took the initiative to compensate the injured for his medical expenses, and released him the next day. He's definitely going to be a bit more restrained in the future."

He Jian said, "This kind of rotten person should be locked up for ten days and half a month."

Yin Yuan took down the souvenir food he brought from home from the trunk and said, "It's all brought from my hometown, bring it to He Lao to taste."

Cheng Bin scratched his head and said, "Every time I come to my master's house, I come empty-handed to eat and drink, I can't imagine that you, Brother Yin, are you still so good at behaving?"

It's no wonder that this guy is just as popular wherever he goes, and he has high emotional intelligence.

Yin Yuan said, "I don't understand the world, it's my wife's idea."

According to He Jian's character, if it is a red envelope or a gift bought in a shopping mall, he will definitely unceremoniously let him take it back.

But now Yin Yuan is sending souvenirs.

"Young man, where is your hometown? There are also dried plum vegetables and winter bamboo shoots......

"Elder He, my hometown is from the Pingxiang area of Jiangxi Province. I went home this year and bought a lot of these specialty foods. This stir-fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots and steamed roasted pork with dried plum vegetables taste good."

He Jian said, "When I was young, I worked in Pingxiang City for a few years."

Yin Yuan said happily, "I can't imagine that Old He has worked in Pingxiang City before."

He Jian said: "When I was young, I went to many places, and I went to the Northeast, but now when I am old, I can only play chess and play antiques at home."

He took Yin Yuan and the two into the living room.

The furniture inside is all the same color of golden silk nanmu, and the cabinet at the back is also.

Several ornaments are also valuable antiques.

He Jian said, "Let Master Sun take your ingredients to make a few dishes, and the two of you will stay for dinner tonight." Cheng Bin said that your Go level is good, how about we play the next game?"

Yin Yuan said modestly, "I'm about the same level as Brother Cheng."

There is a chess table in the living room, the chessboard is made of whole golden silk nanmu, the chess pieces are jade, and even the chess box is a handicraft.

Like the Go in Cheng Bin's hand, they are all valuables.

He Lao put on his old hair glasses and sat opposite.

A middle-aged woman in the house made tea and beckoned them to drink tea.

Yin Yuan modestly took the sunspot.

In the front dozen layouts, He Lao spent a lot of time.

Older people are more cautious when playing chess.

Cheng Bin watched the two play on the side.

Yin Yuan's chess does not seem to have much lethality on the surface, but the seemingly traceless chess pieces, after the extension of the chess path, have a surprisingly winning effect.

Trends can often be unexpected.

He Lao spent more and more time thinking about it every time.

Cheng Bin also saw that the more Yin Yuan's chess move went to the back, the more varied it became, and it was a bit unguardable.

At the same time, the speed at which he fell was fast, He Lao fell after a few minutes of thinking, and Yin Yuan was able to make a decision in almost ten seconds.

After more than 200 eyes, He Lao said with admiration: "It's still that you young people are more active in thinking, and it's really good, and I'm not your opponent."

Yin Yuan said politely: "He Lao's chess skills are also good, at your age, you still play Go at such a high level, and you can't find a second one in Jiangming City."

Cheng Bin said, "At Xiao Yin's level, can you defeat those players in Xiangshan City?"

He Lao said: "I think I am sure, in the chess competition between the two cities in October this year, you must represent Jiangyin City to participate, we have lost to them in a few years, I hope you will fight for my city this year."

He Lao's daughter-in-law cooked the meal, and when she saw that the old man was in full swing in chess, she didn't bother them, and now when she saw that they were done playing chess, she asked them to eat first.

Several special dishes made He Lao full of praise.

I was also particularly impressed by Yin Yuan.

When the two left, he also said to Yin Yuan, "Comrade Xiao Yin, if you have time, you can often come to me to play chess and chat."

He also gave his home phone number to Yin Yuan.

Yin Yuan also left a business card for him.

The next day, he spent more than two hours coming to the Yangcheng Library.

Holding two drawings

Find the exhibition organizing office.

There were more than a dozen people lining up at the door with paintings.

I didn't expect that there were so many people who wanted to participate in the exhibition.

Yin Yuan stood in the line.

In the office, several professional painters make evaluations on the spot, score on the spot, and those who meet the exhibition standards stay, and those who fail to meet the standards let the authors return.

The painter will comment on the spot, and if it does not meet the level of the exhibition, he will also point out the flaws.

Even if the paintings of these business painters do not meet the exhibition standards, it is also beneficial to hear the evaluation of their paintings by experts.

A few people were talking.

"I can't imagine so many people participating?"

"With expert teachers to give you professional guidance, even if you can't be selected for the exhibition, you can benefit a lot."

"Everyone wants to be able to participate in the exhibition, and then they will be stepping into the threshold of a painter. Several of the painters who won the award last year are all famous. Even if I can be selected as one of the ten potential painters, there is a lot of room for development in the future......

"I thought they would charge, but I didn't think they would charge a penny. I participated in the singer competition last year, and I heard that the registration fee was one or two thousand."

"People are famous for singing and entertainment stars, we are painting, we are different."

"A painter has a better career ahead than an entertainment star. Like those famous painters to paint a picture, the starting price is how much is a foot. There are not a few hundred and eighty thousand famous paintings."

"You don't have the dream of being a famous painter here, and I am satisfied to be qualified to participate in the exhibition."

It was more than an hour before it was Yin Yuan's turn to enter.

Fill in your name, the name of the work, the address and the contact number on a form.

The paintings were spread out on the table, and the five experts began to admire them.

The two paintings brought by Yin Yuan were spread out on the table...

"It's a good painting, and the snow scene is also distinctive."

"The painting is fresh and refined, and the choice of perspective is also unique..."

"This girl is fascinated, especially the facial expressions, expressive, with this snow scene, tsk ......"..

"Yes, I can't find fault with it......

All five scored perfect marks.

"Congratulations, both paintings are eligible to participate!"

The staff said to him, "The exhibition will start tomorrow, and the evaluation will be held in half a month, and you will be notified when the results come out, and you will come and pick up the works then."

The people waiting in line at the door saw him walk out empty-handed, and they all said enviously, "Successfully sent one, alas, there is another indicator missing."

Yin Yuan didn't bother to talk to these people, there was no need for this, and he didn't know what their level was.

It was almost twelve o'clock in the time, and he was going to find a restaurant to eat, and then he drove home, and it was the right way to accompany his wife and children.

At this time, someone hit his big brother.

"It's Mr. Yin, right? I'm Ouyang Jinhua from Yuyang, do you still have an impression? The old Ouyang ...... in Ouyang Building."

It turned out to be Ouyang Jinhua, the MLM king who became famous in Yun Province a few years later.

This guy has been in the past few years, and he should now be the chairman of a group company.

began to get all kinds of heads, what vice presidents, committee members, large taxpayers, group chairmen, are trying their best to wear on their heads in the past few days.

"You're a big celebrity in Yuyang, chairman, of course I remember you. You're coming to Guangdong?"

Yin Yuan thought in his mind: This guy is still in the stage of gilding himself, and the contracted mines are bringing him a lot of wealth, and when he is using the wealth obtained from mining to smash various honorary titles, he has not yet turned to pyramid schemes.

He was looking for something to do with himself at this time.

Ouyang Jinhua said: "Sure enough, it's you, I saw you at the door of the library, you look at the restaurant on the second floor of the Yangcheng Hotel opposite, I and my friends are dining here, you shouldn't have lunch yet, come up and meet, table 8 by the window."

The restaurant opposite was at least twenty meters away from the library, and he couldn't think of it

The strength is still so good, I recognize myself at a glance.

Duan Yuan walked to the restaurant on the second floor opposite, and found Ouyang Jinhua and the three of them at table No. 8 by the window.

A plump young woman in her early thirties with short hair.

The other turned out to be Feng Yizhen's uncle Xu Dongxin.

"Hey, uncle, why are you with Chairman Ouyang?"

Could it be that the ancestor of this MLM king is you Xu Dongxin?

Ouyang Jinhua asked in surprise, "Xu is always Xiao Yin's uncle?"

That's a coincidence, isn't it?

Xu Dongxin explained, "My niece married Boss Yin's younger brother as his wife."

Ouyang Jinhua nodded: "I see."

He beckoned Yin Yuan to sit down and asked the waiter to take an extra set of chopsticks.

He introduced the young woman next to him and said, "Chen Xuemei, the treasurer of my company."

Chen Xuemei chuckled and said, "Boss Yin is young and promising, our Chairman Ouyang has praised you many times, saying that you are a person who can do great things in the future."

Yin Yuan said: "I am just an ordinary person, Sister Chen and Chairman Ouyang are the ones who do big things, and I can only be a small boss for the rest of my life."

He knew that Ouyang Jinhua went to Yun Province at the end of 99 to open a Chuguang branch of Kangyuan Industrial Co., Ltd., and the products he operated were SOD capsules, SOD health wine, and Xuemei brand suits produced by his Qinglong Company in Jiangxi Province.

When he was arrested, he was also in the escape car with this Chen Xuemei.

It can be seen how close he is with this woman.

The family had just married a girl of eighteen or nineteen to help him carry on the lineage, because the first wife had only given birth to two girls.

He divorced his old wife and married a girl just to have a boy.

With the taxes he pays every year, even if he has a few more children, someone will give him a cover.

Ouyang Jinhua asked him, "What are you doing in the library opposite?" I really envy you literate young people who like to go to the library, unlike those of us who have never read a book and can't read a lot of big characters."

Yin Yuan knew that he was telling the truth, he had only graduated from elementary school, and he really didn't have much education, but the great things he had done in his life, even if he was a doctoral graduate, he was not necessarily more accomplished than him.
