Chapter 667 - Ten Legendary Artworks (1/2)

On the Internet.

“D*mn! These two fellas are so arrogant. They don’t even have any respect for Chinese Arts.”

“This Jin Cheng Guo is too shameless. He literally learned Chinese Arts. I didn’t expect him to disrespect his own ancestors.”

“This is a common sight. The Koreans keep claiming that Chinese Arts belongs to them. Previously, a Chinese Artist from Korea kept insisting that it belonged to the Chinese and he was shut out by the others. What’s the point of speaking the truth these days? People suffer horrific fates.”

“Three years ago, Chinese Arts didn’t do well at all in the International Arts Exhibition. The Japanese and Korean netizens laughed. If they don’t get a good placing this time, it’d be shameful.”

“What are they doing in the International Arts Exhibitions? Do we really not have someone that can match up to their standards?”

“Are you talking rubbish? Previously, the Chinese Arts Association organized a competition for kids and they cheated in the results. What do you think of our Chinese Arts Association? This time, it’s going to be the same outcome. We’ll be in the last place again.”

“The ‘Chinese Artists’ these days don’t even have real talent. They’re just cheaters. They sell artworks for more than a few million dollars. Who would be so stupid to buy them? But then again, people really bought them. Then, the Chinese Artists that managed to sell their artworks suddenly became renown artists. Their lives were changed forever.”

…

At the Chinese Arts Association.

“Elder Zheng, people are looking down on us. We have to get a good placing this time. If not, we’d be a joke.”

“Yeah, although we’ve never done well, we can’t do anything about it. We can’t really say anything to rebut them. Now, everyone looks down on us.”

“President, whose works are we going to send? According to the trend, the standard of the International Arts Exhibition improves every year. If we do not submit work of higher quality, we’d be in danger.”

Everyone gathered in the conference room and discussed about this matter.

They were the core of the association’s management. They possessed true talent and they weren’t just artists that produced insignificant results.

Although they were good, they could only do that much about it.

Zheng Zhong Shan said calmly, “Alright, we only have to send thirty artworks for this International Arts Exhibition. Let me split up the work.”

“Elder Yun, you will submit your best artwork. Just one will do.”

Elder Yun was a bespectacled elderly man. He stood up, “Don’t worry. I would give my best one even if I have to lose my life.”

Zheng Zhong Shan smiled, “It’s not that serious. Just do your best.”

Then, he continued to appoint seventeen members. When the others thought that he was going to announce more people, Zheng Zhong Shan sat down. That indicated that it was over.

“President, it’s only been seventeen artworks. According to the rules, there should be thirteen more.”

Zheng Zhong Shan pointed, “Me, Elder Yue and Elder Tao, will be submitting one each.”

“That’s only twenty artworks.”

Zheng Zhong Shan looked at them and shook his head, “I don’t know what to say. Did you guys forget about Elder Lin?”

When he said Elder Lin, everyone was stunned.

“Oh, right. How could I possibly forget Elder Lin? If Elder Lin were to go for this, it’s going to be a good fight.”

“Yeah, no wonder our President seems so calm today. It’s because he is prepared for it.”

The crowd laughed. If they left the remaining artworks to Elder Lin, they could be rest assured. They’ve all seen Elder Lin’s artworks before. They were all stunning. Even if they were to study Chinese Arts for the rest of their lives, they might not even draw as well as Elder Lin.
