The other students looked at Tao Wan with envy and surprise. Only Xu Shaoyan glared at him fiercely, completely forgetting to maintain his kind and generous image.
After the broadcast ended, Hu Wenshan was silent for a while before he started the class. However, his speech was disjointed, and the students couldn't connect the dots, so they didn't want to interrupt him. Hu Wenshan was just following the orders of his superiors. Since he didn't succeed, he would definitely be taught a lesson, and the benefits that were originally promised to him were also gone. Moreover, during this period of time, he was so angry at Tao Wan that he almost had a heart attack. He had already invested a lot of personal emotions, and he really didn't want him to win the award.
Usually, this kind of good news would only be broadcasted in each school. It was very rare for it to be broadcasted to the entire school. However, Tao Wan's work was selected to be exhibited in the National Gallery. This kind of honor was definitely worthy of being broadcasted to the entire school. Moreover, he was the first student in the country whose work was selected to be exhibited in the National Gallery.
Xu Shaoyan's third place was just incidental. Moreover, it was because his father had an acquaintance in the school that he was mentioned in passing.
After class, Tao Wan walked to the corridor outside the classroom and leaned against the wall, waiting for Xu Shaoyan to come out.
"Congratulations on getting third place," Tao Wan said as he looked at Xu Shaoyan walking out of the classroom.
Xu Shaoyan's expression was very ugly. He wanted to say, "Don't be so smug, I'll beat you sooner or later." However, there were other students around, so he gritted his teeth and held back those words.
"I've already congratulated you. Don't you have anything to say to me?" Tao Wan asked.
"… Congratulations to you too," Xu Shaoyan lowered his voice and said reluctantly.
"Congratulate me for what?" Tao Wan asked with a puzzled expression.
"Congratulations on getting first place," Xu Shaoyan clenched his fist, and from the exposed veins on the back of his hand, it was obvious how much patience he had.
"Thank you." Tao Wan smiled and said, "You treated me as your biggest stumbling block and did everything you could to prevent me from participating in the competition. You also asked Hu Wenshan to deliberately not let me draw well. In the end, you only got third place? Can't you work harder and get second place? At least prove that you're really just a little bit worse than me. "
"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Xu Shaoyan certainly wouldn't admit that those things had anything to do with him.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. After all, with your IQ, it's normal that you don't understand what I say." Tao Yuan stepped forward and said, "If you have time, go to the National Gallery to see my works. You will know that the gap between you and me can't be made up by those despicable means."
Tao Wan turned around and went downstairs. Once again, he met Liu Xiujie who came to pick up Xu Shaoyan. Tao Wan ignored him again and directly walked past him.
Liu Xiujie saw Tao Wan and stopped subconsciously. He also heard the broadcast just now. Looking at Tao Wan's back, he felt very complicated.
Tao Wan despised people like Liu Xiujie the most. If Xu Shaoyan and Hu Wenshan were despicable and shameless, then Liu Xiujie was childish and selfish. Tao Wan hated people who bullied others when they couldn't get you. They didn't even have the qualifications to be his opponent, so he didn't even bother to look at them.
Liu Xiujie liked the original host, but he didn't get a response after pursuing her for a while. He felt very embarrassed, so he got together with Xu Shaoyan. Then he helped Xu Shaoyan to bully the original host while trying to get the attention of the original host.
Tao Wan thought that it was lucky that the original host didn't like people like Liu Xiujie. Otherwise, he would be disgusted to death if the original host had a good relationship with people like Liu Xiujie.
Wei Shicheng knew that Tao Wan's works would be exhibited in the National Gallery, so he asked him to see it together.
Tao Wan thought that they couldn't show up at the same time, otherwise they would definitely be gossiped about. What was there to see together? But considering that he was his employer, he agreed.
After the car stopped, the two people who were kissing together separated. Tao Wan let go of Wei Shicheng's hand and said, "I'll go down first, godfather."
"En, wait for me inside." Wei Shicheng said.
"… Okay." Tao Wan suppressed what he wanted to say in his heart. After he agreed with a smile, he opened the door and got out of the car.
Wei Shicheng had to go around to another entrance. Under Tao Wan's request, although the two of them came to see the art exhibition together, they wouldn't walk together. They would pretend that they didn't know each other at all. So Tao Wan just wanted to say that they wouldn't know each other after they went in, so why would he wait for him?
Tao Wan entered the exhibition hall and quickly found his works. The works exhibited here were all works of the master level of Chinese painting. His works could get a prominent position here, which was something to be proud of. The news had already reported on his works. After the award ceremony, there would be reporters to interview him.
There were many people in the National Gallery Exhibition Hall every day. There were still many people who came to see the exhibition today. Some people were already standing in front of his works.
"It's really shocking. Such a magnificent landscape painting was actually drawn by a student who is less than 20 years old. He must be a genius!" An old voice exclaimed excitedly.
The other people around also nodded in agreement. If it wasn't for the explanation board next to the painter's introduction, no one would believe that it was drawn by a college student.
Because the competition required the submission of a video of the painting process, the jury selected him as the first place without any doubts and let his painting be displayed in the National Gallery Exhibition Hall.
"Contact the exhibition director and ask him to give me the painter's contact information. I want to buy this painting." The old man who had just exclaimed excitedly turned back and said to his assistant.
The moment the old man turned back, Tao Wan recognized who this old man was. He was the Go master Su Yongfu, known as the contemporary Go Saint.
"I'm the painter of this painting. If there's anything, you can tell me directly." Tao Wan didn't expect to meet the Go Saint Su Yongfu here, but for him, this was a good opportunity.
Everyone turned to look at him. Su Yongfu directly began to size him up, but there was some doubt in his eyes.
Tao Wan took out his student ID and handed it to him.
Su Yongfu took his student ID and looked at the information on the explanation board. Then, he returned Tao Wan's student ID and said, "Name a price, young man. I want this painting of yours."
"Can I make a request?" Tao Wan asked.
"What request?"
"I want to play a game of Go with you. If you win, I'll give this painting to you." Tao Wan said.
Su Yongfu raised his eyebrows and looked at Tao Wan. "This painting of yours is worth a lot of money. You're giving it to me just like that?"
"A painting is nothing to me." Tao Wan said with a smile.
Su Yongfu raised his hand and touched his goatee. He thought that this young man in front of him had an outstanding temperament. He had the aura of a scholarly family. It seemed that not only did he know how to draw, but he also knew how to play Go.
Su Yongfu had won countless times and was already numb to it. So, he would often play Go with some young people to get a feel for their style. To put it simply, he was just playing with them.
There were also many young people who wanted to be his disciple. He wasn't a selfish person. If he saw someone with talent, he would give them a few pointers. He thought that this young man in front of him most likely wanted to be his disciple. Well, since he had such an amazing talent in painting, if his Go skills were passable, he would accept him as his disciple.
Su Yongfu asked his assistant to go to the car to get some Go. Then, he set up the Go board in the resting area next to the exhibition hall. The two of them sat down and started playing.
Some people who came to see the exhibition found that someone was playing Go in the exhibition hall. Out of curiosity, they took a few more glances. After recognizing that the person playing Go was actually the Sage of Chess, Su Yongfu, they immediately walked over to watch with the others.
Wei Shicheng received a phone call in the car. He was delayed for more than 20 minutes before he entered the exhibition hall. After finding the work with the three words "Du Qingyu" on the side, Wei Shicheng took a few steps back and then looked up at the painting.
At first glance, Wei Shicheng was shocked. He took another two steps back and took the whole painting in his eyes. He was shocked by the magnificent landscape in the painting.
After the shock, Wei Shicheng was puzzled. He thought that he might have made a mistake. He walked closer and looked carefully at the annotation board. It was indeed written with the name Du Qingyu. Could it be that the people in the exhibition hall made a mistake? The National Gallery shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.
After standing in front of the painting for more than 10 minutes, Wei Shicheng was still shocked. He was determined to make Tao Wan sell the painting to him. He wanted to hang it in his office and look at it every day.
Wei Shicheng went to look for Tao Wan. He thought that he had gone to look at other paintings, but he couldn't find him. Seeing a large group of people in the resting area, Wei Shicheng felt that Tao Wan wasn't the kind of person who liked to join in the fun. He turned around and went to other places to look.
Wei Shicheng looked around again, but he still couldn't find it. He took out his phone and wanted to call Tao Wan. However, he turned around and looked at the crowd. He put away his phone and decided to go and have a look. After all, it wasn't good to make a call in a place like the exhibition hall.
With the advantage of his height, Wei Shicheng looked through the crowd and saw that someone was playing Go. He then looked at the person playing Go. It turned out to be the Chess Saint, Su Yongfu. No wonder there were so many people here. Looking at Su Yongfu's opponent, he was immediately stunned. He wondered why Qing Yu was sitting here and playing Go with the Chess Saint. No wonder he couldn't find him after looking around twice.
Wei Shicheng didn't want to disturb them in front of so many people. Besides, he had promised Tao Wan that he would pretend not to know him. So, he also stood outside the crowd to watch the game. He also knew a little about Go. After seeing the game on the chessboard clearly, he was very surprised. The black and white pieces were playing against each other. They were evenly matched.
If it were two experts of similar skill levels, it wouldn't be surprising for such a situation to occur. However, the one sitting there at the moment was a young man less than 20 years old, and his opponent was the Chess Saint, Su Yongfu. It was hard not to be surprised.
Wei Shicheng looked at Tao Wan's serious face and thought that this child really surprised him again and again. Being able to play the zither, draw, and play Go was nothing. The important thing was that he was young, but he had reached the level of a master in all these things. Who else in the world could reach such a level at his age?
Tao Wan picked up a piece and put it on the chessboard. He held a white piece because he liked white. White looked simple and pure, but it was actually the most complicated color. It was also the color with the strongest tolerance and acceptance.
After the game, Tao Wan smiled and said, "I lost. You are indeed the Chess Saint. I still lack some experience."
Su Yongfu had heard this sentence many times, but it was the first time it came from such a young man. Although he had won the game, it was a narrow victory. It was the first time in his life that he had been forced to such an extent by a young man less than 20 years old.
"That painting is yours. When the exhibition time is over, you can send someone to pick it up. I will let the exhibition director know." Tao Wan finished speaking and got up. He saw Wei Shicheng from the corner of his eye and continued to walk out, pretending not to know him.
Su Yongfu was still sitting there, motionless, looking at the layout on the chessboard. He couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Falling in Love with a Rich Godfather 5
Wei Shicheng had a meeting early in the morning tomorrow, so he couldn't stay at the teahouse overnight. After three times, he held Tao Wan in his arms and kissed and rubbed him for a long time before letting him go and picking up the clothes on the ground.
After the passion, Wei Shicheng's brain and body calmed down. He felt that although this was a gift from Boss Chen to please him, he was quite satisfied with this gift. The degree of satisfaction surprised even himself. Therefore, he decided to keep this gift so that only he could enjoy it.
When Wei Shicheng put on his clothes, Tao Wan also picked up his clothes and put them on. Even he was embarrassed to look at the red marks on his body. The first time in his previous life and this life was given away just like that. Although the process was a bit exciting, Wei Shicheng was a top-notch man in terms of appearance and other aspects. He would take it as if he had taken the money and used it to whore him, not the other way around. With this thought, Tao Wan's heart relaxed a lot.
After Wei Shicheng put on his clothes, he sat beside Tao Wan, stroked his face and said, "I recognize you as my godson. In the future, I will take care of you and give you as much money as you need."
After the two of them had this kind of relationship, Wei Shicheng said that he recognized him as his godson, but of course, it wasn't a real godson. In the past, recognizing a godson and a godson was a real godson. They had to visit each other during the New Year and other festivals. Therefore, the father of the original owner let his son recognize Wei Shicheng as his godson. He wanted to climb up Wei Shicheng as his godson, but Wei Shicheng's business wasn't that big back then.
But in the past few years, the relationship between a godson and a godson had changed, and there was another hidden layer of relationship.
"The manager said that I only need to serve you this time. He didn't say that I have to serve you in the future." Tao Wan lowered his head, showing a reluctant look.
"You listen to your manager like this?" Wei Shicheng said unhappily, "Then do you know that no matter what I say, your manager has to listen?"
"This isn't a matter of who I listen to. I only promised to serve you once, so I only took the money once." Tao Wan tried his best to show the original owner's personality. He was cold, arrogant, and didn't give in easily. Although after the relationship, he didn't seem to have the confidence to act like this, but he couldn't give in immediately. This wasn't in line with the original owner's personality. Tao Yuan was still thinking about how to get into character, so he continued his performance.
"You probably don't understand my personality. Do you know why your manager doesn't let you talk back to me?" Wei Shicheng asked.
"Because you have money, power, and a lot of tricks. So I can't offend you." Tao Wan replied.
"You really don't know much. But it's okay. You'll slowly understand in the future." Wei Shicheng kissed the corner of his mouth, then looked into his eyes and said, "I don't like to force people on these kinds of things. It's best if you're willing. Being with me will only bring you benefits."
Tao Wan quickly blinked and asked, "Then this relationship, when will it end?"
"It will only end when I say it's over." Wei Shicheng was used to being domineering. Since he had set his heart on him, he naturally wouldn't end it so easily. "While you're my godson, you're not allowed to have relationships with other people. Do you understand?"
"I understand …" Tao Wan replied in a small voice.
"Let's go. I'll send you back." Wei Shicheng touched his white and tender face. The smooth feeling made him reluctant to move his hand away.
Tao Wan wanted to stand up, but he immediately sat back down. His face was as red as if someone had splashed rouge on it.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "Wei Shicheng asked with concern.
"Can you, can you, go downstairs and wait for me?" Tao Wan was so embarrassed that he couldn't raise his head.
"What's wrong?" How could Wei Shicheng leave him here alone, especially when he was obviously not right?
"… Yours, yours …" Tao Wan pressed his lower abdomen and forced himself to say, "Yours … is still inside."
Only then did Wei Shicheng remember. He suddenly realized and said, "Yes, there are still quite a lot left inside. If you are a girl, you may be pregnant this time."
"You go out first. I'll be back in a bit." Tao Wan pushed him.
"I'll help you." Wei Shicheng had never helped anyone before, so he had no experience. But because of the child in his arms, not only was he willing to make an exception, but he also felt that it was quite interesting. Even he himself found it incredible.
When Wei Shicheng and Tao Wan went downstairs, Manager Wu was still sitting in the lobby with his men. He was still worried that Tao Wan would anger Wei Shicheng. When he saw the two of them coming down, he immediately got up to greet them and bowed to Wei Shicheng.
The music had stopped long ago. The two of them had been alone upstairs for a few hours. Just by looking at Tao Wan's embarrassed face, he knew that what should have happened had already happened.
Tao Wan's steps were a bit shaky, and his waist was a bit sore. It was the first time someone had visited him, so he was still a bit uncomfortable. The people downstairs all knew what they were doing upstairs. Under their gazes, Tao Wan was too embarrassed to raise his head.
After sending the two of them to the car and watching the car drive away, Manager Wu felt that Wei Shicheng was very satisfied that he was willing to personally send Tao Wan back. He finally let out a sigh of relief. He rubbed his sore neck and walked inside, thinking that he could finally have a good night's sleep.
