The person who spoke was Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was twenty-eight years old this year, but his attainments in calligraphy and painting weren't low. He was also very talented and could be considered young and promising.
His teacher was also a calligraphy expert, so naturally, he received an invitation.
He arrived early, so the camera followed behind him.
Lin Xi was young and impetuous, so he didn't think about anything or consider the consequences. He just directly exposed himself.
It had nothing to do with him anyway.
In front of the camera, Lin Xi pointed at a very faint pattern in the middle of the scroll. "This is Master Wei Hou's personal seal. Outsiders won't be able to tell."
"But if you look closely, you can see that this pattern forms the character 'Wei'."
Qing Zhi's teachers looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
Luckily, there weren't many people watching the live broadcast at this time.
The head of the art team came back to his senses and raised his hand, gesturing for the cameraman to turn off the camera.
Lin Xi's expression was cold. "What does your school have to say about this?"
He had just handed the scroll to Wei Hou the day before yesterday, and now he saw it here.
He didn't believe that it wasn't stolen.
"We didn't know about this either. We didn't think that a student would be so bold." The head of the art team didn't find an excuse. "How about this, we will criticize it at the opening ceremony and expel it."
Qing Zhi absolutely couldn't tolerate cheating.
Needless to say, this matter involved Wei Hou.
This time, the school invited many masters of the art world, and even the president of the Hu City Calligraphy Association.
But Wei Hou was a director of the Hua City Calligraphy Association.
Their statuses couldn't be compared at all.
Stealing Wei Hou's calligraphy was the same as provoking the Hua City Calligraphy Association.
The head of the art team looked at the words on the scroll and furrowed his brows.
He had his suspicions before, but it turned out that Ying Zijin didn't write it herself.
Lin Xi's expression softened. "Your school's decision is very fair. She should be severely punished."
He didn't have any interest in watching anymore. When he left the exhibition room, he bumped into Zhong Zhiwan.
"Senior Lin," Zhong Zhiwan greeted him with a smile. "I didn't expect you to come too."
"Zhiwan, I was looking for you," Lin Xi said as he led her to the side. "Do you know a student called Ying Zijin?"
Zhong Zhiwan was surprised. "Ying Zijin? She's my cousin. What happened to her? "
"No wonder." Lin Xi knew that Zhong Zhiwan had borrowed the scroll and copied it. "She must have seen how well it was written. She didn't know who wrote it, so she stole it to attend the art festival."
Zhong Zhiwan hesitated. "It can't be. Although my cousin is from the countryside, she's actually …"
"For money," Lin Xi said contemptuously. "I've seen many people like this. They don't really like calligraphy."
His teacher was also from the Calligraphy Association. Every year, many people wanted to be his disciple.
However, many of them wanted to use his teacher's reputation to sell their paintings for more money.
"So …" Zhong Zhiwan paused. "Senior Brother Lin found out that she cheated?"
"Yes. Don't plead for her." Lin Xi raised his hand and said calmly, "In a while, your school will issue a notice of criticism and expel her."
Zhong Zhiwan pressed the corners of his lips and tried to hold back his laughter. "I understand, Senior Brother Lin."
**
Below the stage.
In the student area.
The girl who was leaning against the chair straightened her body and opened her eyes.
The sunlight scattered on her long eyelashes, casting a mottled shadow.
"Papa YIng, aren't you sleeping?" Xiu Yu noticed her movements. "The opening ceremony hasn't started yet."
Ying Zijin slowly stretched and said in a low and cold voice, "Something happened."
"Huh?" Xiu Yu didn't understand. "What happened?"
"Nothing." Ying Zijin supported her head with her hand and said lazily, "Something fun."
Xiu Yu scratched her head.
Here it comes again. Just like that.
It made her think that Papa YIng was a fraud.
A few minutes later, it was nine o 'clock sharp.
The camera equipment was fully set up to ensure that the live broadcast would not be interrupted by sudden malfunctions.
The seats on the stage were also set up. There were nameplates on the table.
Some seats were empty, but most of the guests were already seated. They were all leading figures in the art world.
Even with Lin Xi's status, he could only sit in the third row.
The live broadcast officially began. More and more people were watching.
As one of the top three schools in the country, Qing Zhi High School was very famous.
[Phew, it's time for the opening ceremony. I want to see how heroic Qing Zhi is.]
[I'm here, I'm here. Look at the guest area. There are so many masters here.]
[Lin Xi! Is that Lin Xi? Lin Xi is really the most handsome person in the art world. He's so handsome.]
[No, he's not bad looking. But isn't the art world all about ability? Why is it about looks?]
[Then let's talk about our Lin Xi. When he was 12 years old, his calligraphy was sold for a high price of 500,000 yuan.]
[Awesome, awesome …]
He was really talented to have such an achievement at 12 years old.
[Hey, look. Why is Lin Xi standing up? What's he doing with the microphone?]
[I'm a little confused. Shouldn't the host be speaking first?]
[Lin Xi doesn't look too good. Something big must have happened.]
The principal, who was sitting in the first row with the president of the Hu City Art Association, was also puzzled. "What's going on?"
The leader of the art group quickly said, "Principal, something unexpected happened."
He explained in a low voice. On the other end, Lin Xi had already spoken.
"Art is noble and great. It allows us to know what beauty is. Therefore, I will never allow anyone to insult art." Lin Xi's voice spread throughout the field through the microphone. "I'm here today to admire the works of the younger generation and help them. I didn't expect something so bad to happen!"
"A student actually stole Master Wei Hou's work to participate in the competition!"
Lin Xi said coldly, "If Master Wei Hou didn't tell me personally that this work was written by him, I would have been fooled by this student too."
As soon as he said this, not only the students below the stage, but even the netizens watching the live broadcast were shocked.
[F * ck, did I hear wrongly? She stole Master Wei Hou's work to participate in the competition?]
[Ah … Even I, who don't care about calligraphy, have heard of Wei Hou's name. How dare this student?]
[Tsk tsk, there's a good show to watch.]
"She used Wei Hou's work to participate in the competition," Xiu Yu exclaimed. "Papa YIng, who do you think is so awesome?"
Ying Zijin changed her sitting position. "Yes, it's me."
Xiu Yu choked. "… Dad, don't joke around. I'm having a heart attack because of you."
"I can help you remove it. Let's change it to a mechanical one."
"…"
On the stage.
Lin Xi was already standing to the side. The person who took the microphone was the leader of the art group.
"The school will not tolerate this cheating incident. After discussion, Ying Zijin's participation in the competition will be revoked and she will be expelled."
The apple in Xiu Yu's hand fell to the ground.
Jiang Ran slowly looked up and narrowed his eyes.
There was a lot of discussion around them.
"Ying Zijin? Why is it her? She cheated because she couldn't think straight. "
"She probably saw that Zhi Wan was participating, so she wanted to participate too. She wanted to compete with Zhi Wan in everything. She didn't even think about how she could compete."
"She really brought this upon herself."
Jiang Ran was annoyed when he heard this. He suddenly stood up and pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth. He was very irritable. "What are you blabbering about? All of you, shut up! "
The students immediately fell silent.
"I say, what kind of punishment is this?" Jiang Ran turned his head and his eyes were faintly red. "Do you have evidence? You're just going to expel her? What kind of teacher are you? "
[F * ck, who is this? So unreasonable?]
[Qing Zhi must be a school bully. Birds of a feather flock together.]
"Of course I have evidence." Lin Xi didn't know Jiang Ran and naturally didn't know his identity.
He took out a scroll, unfolded it, and projected it on the big screen. He sneered. "Look carefully. This is Master Wei Hou's seal. Ask her if she wrote this."
"Yes." Ying Zijin finally spoke. She glanced at it faintly and said indifferently, "I didn't write it."
Jiang Ran frowned.
Xiu Yu pulled him back to his seat. "Dad is talking. Don't interrupt."
Jiang Ran: "…"
Zhong Zhiwan's expression froze. He was very surprised.
He didn't expect Ying Zijin to admit it just like that.
Did she think that taking the initiative to admit her mistake would reduce the punishment?
She was too naive.
The bullet screen was also filled with ridicule.
[I'm going to vomit. She really has the nerve to say that she didn't write it. Then why did she cheat?]
[She's so thick-skinned. Qing Zhi did the right thing. This kind of student should be expelled.]
[She's helping to slap her own face.]
[If I don't comment, there might be a reversal. You'll be the ones slapping your own face later.]
"Did you hear that? She … "
Before Lin Xi could finish his words, he heard the girl's voice slowly rise.
It was an understatement.
"I can't write such rubbish."
"…"
The whole place suddenly fell silent.
Zhong Zhiwan was shocked.
Did Ying Zijin know what she was saying?
Even her teacher couldn't write such words.
Ying Zijin actually said that this word was rubbish?
[No, she also said that she can't write such rubbish. Who does she think she is???]
[I'm convinced. She's so arrogant. Ning knows who Master Wei Hou is. How can she say that? Who gave her the face?]
[I'm dying of laughter. If you can't write such rubbish, then write it. Write it now so that we can see how good your writing is.]
Lin Xi also didn't expect the girl to not only not admit her mistake, but also be so arrogant.
He was so angry that he laughed. He ordered coldly, "Set the table and bring a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Let her write."
