Chapter 1620: Chapter 944: Industry Titans Showing Support for the Juniors (15 Updates)
This Yang Wangchuan is no ordinary person, you can’t just describe him as having a bad temper, but rather...
Very rigid, conservative, even somewhat stubborn and inflexible, a particularly obstinate person.
Colluding together?
Complicit in wrongdoing?
Upon hearing such accusations, everyone felt Yu Zhen’s behavior was utterly ridiculous.
"She claims Mr. Yang and Tang Wan conspired together, this could be the biggest joke of the century. Who doesn’t know Mr. Yang’s temperament? You couldn’t make him do such a thing even if you put a knife to his throat!"
"And he traveled all the way from Nanjiang, how capable is Tang Wan?"
"It’s good enough to have him come here, let alone have him falsify things in public? Yu Zhen must be crazy; no one would cover up plagiarism, and certainly not Yang Wangchuan."
"She’s acting like a cornered dog, snapping at Tang Wan the first chance she gets, is she out of her mind."
"Mistreats small animals regularly, yet pretends to be so dignified in front of others; surely her mind is twisted and perverted, thinking everyone is as shameless as she is."
"Officer, hurry and take her away."
...
Tang Wan coldly laughed and looked at Yu Zhen:
"If you have evidence that we are complicit, show it. Otherwise, not only will you face charges for animal abuse, I will also pursue defamation against you!"
"It’s one thing for you to slander me, but Mr. Yang...is he someone you can slander?"
"I fear even Fu Chen won’t let you off, isn’t that right, Mr. Chen!"
The suddenly mentioned Fu Chen simply smiled.
Could it be that Tang Wan was too lazy to deal with this trash herself and just wanted to throw it to him?
Yang Wangchuan is, after all, his father-in-law, pleasing one’s father-in-law is a lifelong endeavor, there’s no way he wouldn’t take action.
Seeing her situation was completely ruined, Yu Zhen looked desolate, her body weakened, if not for the police holding her up, she might have fallen directly to the ground.
**
Yu Zhen was taken away by the police, her assistant team, ashamed to linger, quickly packed up to leave, and Chen Zhi instructed others to tidy up the stage.
As Yu Zhen’s team left in haste like street rats, they nearly bumped into someone.
A middle-aged man, tall and lean with a clean-cut buzz, squinted his black eyes, looking at the flustered group, exuding an aura of innate authority.
His thin figure made him appear skeletal.
Cold and sinister, he gave off a very sharp and harsh impact.
Yu Zhen’s team was intimidated by his gaze and hurriedly apologized.
"Why aren’t they moving?" someone behind asked, seeing the people ahead stagnant.
"Sorry, sorry!" The entire team scurried by the two, heads down, back hunched, desperate to escape the scene without being recognized as connected to Yu Zhen.
"Who is that?" the person in the back queried.
"No idea, they just seemed flustered."
"Let’s head inside; we’re already late."
The man speaking in the back was dressed in a simple suit, his face thin and pallid, his slender eyebrows and eyes hiding sharpness, giving an incisive, profound impression.
Intellectual in appearance yet completely devoid of scholarly air.
Stern, exuding a kind of aggressive force.
"Is that Qiao Wangbei and Tao Wangjin? Am I seeing things!"
"You’re not seeing things, I feel like I’m dreaming too."
"Probably all the top figures in the industry have gathered here today; Tang Wan has quite the influence and presence to bring such a crowd together."
"It’s a shame we can’t take pictures; I’d love to have a keepsake photo with the masters."
"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. I thought seeing Fu Chen was already extraordinary, and now here are these masters."
...
Some reporters, although without interview equipment, couldn’t help but ask:
"Why are you both here?"
Qiao Wangbei glanced at him, "Tang Wan is my apprentice niece; it’s her first solo exhibition, so as an elder, I’m just here to look around, offer flowers, and support her. Is there a problem?"
"No, none."
You guys are the big shots; of course, you can do as you please.
Tang Wan quickly approached, inviting the two to sit in the front row.
"It’s okay, we’ll just find a spot to sit casually, we’re just here for a look. Don’t mind us, carry on with your work, and if you need help with anything, just ask," Qiao Wangbei said directly.
"Thank you, Uncle Qiao."
"I passed by some display cabinets earlier; your current works are impressive. Your mentor, at your age back then, didn’t do as well," Tao Wangjin smiled, indirectly raising her esteem.
"Thank you for the praise, Uncle. Please have a seat."
**
Tang Wan went up to complete her introduction, then found time to greet the big shots.
"Where’s my mentor?" Upon turning around, she found the group had vanished.
"Master said he’s tired from the flight, so I’ve arranged a lounge at the back for him to rest. Mr. Yan and the others have followed him there," Jiang Jinsang explained.
"I’ll go take a look."
Tang Wan didn’t know they were coming beforehand, so she wasn’t prepared at all.
When she knocked on the door and entered the lounge, she was surprised to find that these big shots were sitting by the window, enjoying the autumn sunshine while cracking sunflower seeds, drinking tea, and chatting.
"You’re here? Have you greeted everyone outside?" Xi Fangli looked her over.
Tang Wan nodded and obediently filled their cups with tea, "Honored mentors, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you’re coming? I could have prepared to welcome you."
Yan Wangchuan took a sip of tea:
"Summer vacation is ending soon. I’m just here with my son to visit family."
Tang Wan pursed her lips, saying nothing, and looked at the other two mentors.
Qiao Wangbei was holding a handful of sunflower seeds, "I’m also purely here for a visit, and just dropped by to check things out. You don’t need to worry, and there’s no need to specially greet us."
Tang Wan nodded and looked at the last person.
Tao Wangjin took a sip of hot tea:
"Your master said he’d give me a Flower Porcelain Vase from the Qianlong Period, so I came."
Xi Fangli spat out a mouthful of tea —
The secret was thoroughly revealed.
"Tao Wangjin!" He was furious.
"Just say you’re concerned about your apprentice straightforwardly, at your age, why be so secretive? Actually, if Wanwan holds an exhibition, even if you didn’t say anything, we’d come to support her when we have time. These young ones are so accomplished, as mentors, we feel honored."
Xi Fangli coughed, lowered his head, drank his tea, pretending not to recognize this group of people.
Betrayed over his vase and having his secrets exposed, what a situation.
...
Meanwhile, in the exhibition area.
Though it’s just a private exhibition, some of the artworks inside are for sale. Tang Wan’s works aren’t priced too high. This Cyan Feather stuff, the expensive part is the feather, Tang Wan uses peacock feathers or goose feathers; the cost lies in the feather base and craftsmanship, so overall the price isn’t high.
The group with Third Master Fu was also viewing the artworks, while the media reporters had been discreetly following for a while.
Until he grew a bit annoyed and turned to look at the group behind him, "What...exactly do you want?"
"Third-Third Master, we just want to know, what brought you here this time?"
"To see the exhibition!"
Reporter: "..."
Turning to Song Fengwan, she simply smiled, "She’s considered my senior sister, I’m just here to show support."
Alright then, Qiao Wangbei and the others repeatedly called her niece-apprentice, while Song Fengwan outright called her senior sister!
Tang Wan’s significance today...
was truly monumental.
Meanwhile, Duan Linbai bluntly told the reporters:
"I’m here to eat sunflower seeds and watch the show."
The reporters were speechless.
How are we supposed to include such things in the report?
However, on the other side, Mr. Jing and Mr. Yun, went through the exhibition completely and bought several pieces of the Cyan Feather set. These two...
Clearly came to purchase for their own Peach Garden.
"Mr. Yun, are you buying so many?" Tang Wan didn’t expect Yun Hezhi to order more than a dozen items.
"Yes."
"That’s quite a lot, and the total price isn’t cheap."
"Just calculate at the higher price. Anyway, it’s not me spending the money." Yun Hezhi hinted at the man not far away —
Mr. Jing!
Apparently, they brought a sucker to splurge today.
"These are for the Peach Garden, not for my personal use," Yun Hezhi explained.
"You make a deposit first, and after the exhibition ends, I’ll have the items delivered and settle the balance."
Yun Hezhi nodded in agreement, and as he left, he wished Tang Wan a successful exhibition.
