"But this is not my painting." I was very sure that my painting had been replaced.
The staff didn't know what to do. It was my turn to go on stage soon, but something went wrong. I asked them to adjust the monitoring immediately, but I was told that it was not that fast and there was no time for me to go on stage.
I was anxious, but it was useless to be anxious now, so I found other people in charge and wanted to change my number temporarily. I was last in line so that I might have time to find my own paintings.
"That's not okay. Our ranking session was live broadcast yesterday. Everyone knows that you are No. 9. Today, the order was suddenly changed. It can easily be misunderstood as a secret operation. After all, you are still Teacher Zhang's closed disciple. This time He is the most important judge in the competition." The person in charge, Lao Liu, was in a dilemma.
I myself followed the arrangements of the game throughout the whole process, but some people may overthink it.
What Lao Liu said is not unreasonable, but what should I do now?
At this time, the two previous contestants had finished displaying and explaining their works, and it was time for a break. They had about half an hour to rest.
I immediately went to find Jin Han, because he was the largest sponsor of this competition and had a lot of say, even better than Zhang Xiuqian.
Of course, I didn't come to him to find a backdoor or anything like that, but as a contestant, I should be able to go to him to solve these problems.
"Brother-in-law, are you going to attend some kind of jewelry reception with my sister tonight? There is a brand I particularly like there. I wanted to order a necklace before but couldn't, so why don't you take me there tonight? Well, you can open my mouth for me, I'm sure it will work!" As soon as I found Jin Han, I heard Ning Qingyi's coquettish tone.
Jin Han put one hand in his pocket and held a cigarette in the other. He had no intention of letting Ning Qingyi avoid second-hand smoke.
He just thought about it for a moment and then agreed, "Well, you and your sister can be together then."
"Brother-in-law, you are so kind!" Ning Qingyi blushed, a little shy and excited.
The two of them didn't seem to notice that I was coming. It wasn't until Jin Han glanced sideways at me that Ning Qingyi followed his gaze and looked over.
The moment she saw me, Ning Qingyi made an inaudible sound, her eyes filled with contempt.
"Is something wrong?" Jin Han put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the ashtray on the trash can nearby, asking me indifferently.
"Something happened, my painting was changed." I got straight to the point, there was not much time to waste.
After hearing what I said, Jin Han didn't ask, but Ning Qingyi sneered and said, "Sister, are you mistaken? You are the next one to come on stage. Are you here to tell us that your painting has been changed? Shouldn't you? Could it be that you were not prepared at all and were afraid of being embarrassed, so you deliberately made an excuse?"
"My painting has really been changed. Either put my number at the end of the queue now and give me time to adjust the monitoring to find the painting, or my part will not count." I ignored Ning Qingyi and just looked at it with bright eyes. Looking at Jin Han.
I know that he is the one who has the final say.
Jin Han's thick eyebrows tightened, "Each contestant's work is an independent safe, and no one can open the door alone. Even the staff member who keeps the password needs three people to check the password before they can open it, so are you sure it's you? Was the painting replaced by someone else, instead of me taking the wrong painting in the first place?"
He didn't believe me, and I felt very sad in my heart. In such important situations, he still habitually doubted me.
It was only during the time when he wanted to remarry that he reluctantly believed me.
I forced myself to smile, "Jin Han, do you think I'm so stupid? So stupid that I brought the wrong entry?"
"It's not a question of whether you are stupid or not, it's that some people are careless!" Ning Qingyi interrupted again.
I glanced at her coldly, feeling that her voice was extremely noisy at this time.
At this moment, Gu Shisong's figure appeared, and there was another judge beside him, who seemed to be chatting.
After seeing me, Gu Shisong's eyes lit up, he said a few words to the judge teacher and strode over.
When Jin Han saw Gu Shisong, it was as if he saw something unclean, and there was no concealment of rejection in his already ruthless peach blossom eyes.
Fortunately, Gu Shisong had always ignored Jin Han. He didn't care what his face or attitude was.
"Baby, why are you here?" As soon as Gu Shisong opened his mouth, I changed my title again.
Jin Han's expression also worsened.
Ning Qingyi twitched her lips, "Baby? Shu Wanyi, don't you have a boyfriend? Why don't you love yourself at all? Is the baby barking randomly? Are you unclear about your relationship with him?"
As soon as Ning Qingyi finished speaking, before I could speak, Gu Shisong turned around and gave her an indifferent smile, "Baby, are you here?"
Ning Qingyi couldn't stand it this time. She pointed at herself and said, "You called me?"
"Hmm? The name "baby" is not random. You and I...are we not clear about it?" Gu Shisong asked curiously.
Ning Qingyi was extremely angry, "Why are you like this?!"
