Chu Yang put away his pen and glanced at Shen Tianhong.
"How about it, I didn't lie to you."
Shen Tianhong looked a little embarrassed. He knew that he really made a mistake this time.
He nodded seriously: "Yes, you didn't lie to me. I blamed you wrongly, but why didn't you let me know your level earlier? If I had known your level was so high, things wouldn't have happened. It has developed to this point today.”
Shen Tianhong was still putting on airs. After all, he was the leading figure in Jiangbei. It was impossible for him to apologize to Chu Yang in a low voice.
However, it is not easy to get a big man like Shen Tianhong to admit his mistakes.
"I told you before, but you didn't believe me." Chu Yang responded calmly.
Shen Tianhong found the steps for himself, and said: "Okay, since you have proven your strength now, let's go over what happened in the past. To be honest, you really impressed me. At such a young age, you are so good at Chinese painting. Your attainments in this area have actually reached such a superb level. You are the well-deserved number one in the activities I organized. I will send a car to pick you up in a few days and have dinner with me at the Mansion of All Nations."
Chu Yang had no interest in having dinner with Shen Tianhong. Shen Tianhong was an old man and had nothing in common.
So, he shook his head and said, "I think it's not necessary to have dinner together."
Hearing this, Shen Tianhong frowned, and a surprised look flashed across his face.
Many people dream of having the opportunity to have dinner with him at Wanguo Mansion, just like Xu Yicheng, who almost goes crazy thinking about this.
But this young man named Chu Yang actually refused.
In the past, Shen Tianhong would have felt that Chu Yang was ignorant of the sky and the earth, but things are different now. After seeing Chu Yang's superb level of Chinese painting, his views will also change.
"Xiao Chu, you have personality, I like it." Shen Tianhong was not angry, but smiled and said: "I can understand that young people have personality, but you still have to go to Wanguo Mansion. I will take you to visit Wanguo Mansion. Let’s go shopping and discuss and exchange creative ideas together.”
Now that the conversation has come to this point, Chu Yang can no longer refuse, so they give each other a chance to step down.
"In this case, I can't shirk Mr. Shen's kindness. I heard that the Mansion of All Nations has a long history, but I have never been there." Chu Yang said, "As for exchanging creative ideas, I really don't have any experience. "
"Xiao Chu is humble, you are so humble. You are amazing. A painting directly shocked so many big people. It was also auctioned by Sotheby's. Even the director of the Xu Beihong Memorial Hall in Beijing was shocked by you. If you haven't Who can believe my experience, hahaha." Shen Tianhong stroked his beard and smiled.
Curator Qu on the side also said to Chu Yang at this time: "Xiao Chu, you scared me. I thought the authentic works of Xu Beihong in the museum had been secretly stolen. It turned out to be a false alarm, but I can't. Without giving you a few more compliments, your level can go directly to the National Academy of Painting. To be honest, your level is really no worse than those old guys."
Chu Yang said jokingly: "Director Qu, I have caused you trouble. I will copy less next time, lest other memorial halls and museums come to settle accounts with me."
Then, Chu Yang suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Mr. Shen, I'll transfer the 23 million you spent to buy the painting back to you," Chu Yang said.
Shen Tianhong shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, this money is nothing to me, you can take it, but I have collected these two paintings of yours, so it's not a loss."
Shen Tianhong was referring to the one sold at the auction, and the one he had just finished painting.
Chu Yang also smiled and said, "If Mr. Shen likes it, I will draw a few more pictures."
Shen Tianhong said: "That's enough, that's enough. If you paint again, don't paint "Horses" again. I also want to see how good you are at copying other painters' paintings."
In this way, Shen Tianhong got to know Chu Yang again, recognized Chu Yang in the field of traditional Chinese painting, and made Chu Yang his friend.
Soon after, the three people left the coffee shop.
