Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Seeing _1 There Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Seeing _1 There “Right! Where did Yun Qi go? Why haven’t I seen him since we came in?”
“Never mind him, the boy is going through that turbulent stage of puberty, he’s moody, can’t risk upsetting him.”
As they whispered these words to each other, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise from the front, “Oh! Have you noticed? This painting style looks so familiar!”
Mr. Mi was chatting with some old friends, but upon hearing this, he didn’t even say goodbye. He squeezed through the crowd, grabbed the speaker’s hand urgently, and asked, “Have you seen it? Where have you seen it?”
The man speaking was a middle-aged man, wearing an ill-fitting suit, suddenly feeling uncomfortable being pulled by Mr. Mi.
“I… let me think for a second!”
“No problem, take your time.”
Dai Jinhai also hurried over, and patted Mr. Mi on the shoulder with great gravity, “You shouldn’t be like that, you are not young anymore. Do you really need to react this strongly?”
Mr. Mi let out a long sigh, “How long has it been? The artist is still missing, but his painting has won the gold award, where’s the man?”
They organized this grand celebration, inviting so many people, just to maximize their influence, hoping that the artist could find out and come forward.
Of course, they cannot directly say they are looking for the artist to avoid causing trouble. If it gets out, a bunch of impostors, itching for fame, might appear.
Or those trying to leverage the situation to build connections.
They only told the public that the artist is an introverted mystery man. But as long as the real creator sees his own work, he would certainly understand the situation.
And he would definitely come forward.
After all, that’s an international youth artist award, a gold one at that.
No one would resist such a chance at fame and fortune.
“Don’t be in a rush. We’re not going anywhere, ready to welcome them anytime!”
A horrifying thought jumped into Mr. Mi’s mind, and he gasped, “You think the original artist might have met with an accident, and died?”
“Shut up!” Dai Jinhai was almost out of breath due to anger, “Your words are like a crow’s cry. Can’t you say anything nice?”
“Damn, Damn, Damn… My bad, my bad…” Having said that, Mr. Mi turned to the middle-aged man again, “Have you figured it out? Where did you see it?”
People around them heard their conversation, and someone jested,” Just don’t say it is Professor Yu.”
Someone repeated, “Anyone with eyes can see. The style is similar to Professor Yu’s, but clearly more delicate and heartfelt.”
“We’ve double-checked. It’s not him!”
Mr. Mi was frustrated and muttered to himself, why would they say anyone with eyes can see? These people are so shameless, trying to make themselves sound professional.
The middle-aged man felt more distressed at these interruptions, he said in an overwhelmed voice, “I… I remember.”
“Where did you see it?”
“I… I’m in the clothing business. I once saw designer J’s original sketches at Xin Yuan Clothing Factory. I think this style is very similar to designer J’s.”
Chen Cuihua, who was on the outskirts of the crowd, heard this and her face turned sour, “How dare that Xiaowu? How can he randomly show other people the precious design drafts?”
Gongxi Heng defended his friend, “Perhaps he only caught a glimpse of it unintentionally. Xiaowu has been very dutiful.”
“No! I have to alert him, not to show anyone anything.” Humph! He loves to report to me about trivial matters, this is an opportunity to teach him a lesson.
“Yes, yes… A warning is absolutely necessary!”
