As Jiang Tong finished speaking, everyone pondered her words thoughtfully.
It seems like...
She makes a valid point...
Someone as skilled in painting as Mr. Tang shouldn’t make such a basic mistake.
Which leaves only one reason, it’s something Mr. Tang did on purpose.
Jiang Tong’s words really opened everyone’s eyes!
The painting is titled "Birth"...
The start and finish of the strokes perfectly embody the theme...
No wonder it’s by the great Tang Yuanqing of traditional Chinese painting!
"So that’s what it means!"
An older member of the painting association stroked his beard and couldn’t help but exclaim.
With someone leading, everyone began to chime in.
"Exactly! I even thought this painting was fake just now! I’m truly ashamed!"
"Mr. Tang’s painting skills have truly reached new heights, it’s truly admirable!"
"Indeed! This painting is no longer just an object, but a marvel of Mr. Tang’s imagination!"
"That’s right..."
"..."
The crowd started buzzing again, but this time it was all praise for the painting.
Mr. Lu looked at the scene below, casting a glance of appreciation at Jiang Tong.
This girl is extraordinary...
Even he hadn’t thought of this perspective...
Today, the Lu Family owes her a big favor indeed.
"I believe this painting’s market value has exceeded five billion..." said an appraiser from the painting association.
Incorporating so much of Mr. Tang’s clever ideas.
Selling this painting for five billion would be a loss indeed...
"Right, the Lu Family really hit the jackpot."
"So envious! I wish I had a painting by Mr. Tang too."
"Oh, if I’d known this painting held such deep meaning, I would have gritted my teeth and bought it. Now there’s no chance."
The scene was turned around by just a few words from Jiang Tong.
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back a few paces into the crowd.
Ouyang Jingxian and Qi Feng stood there dumbfounded.
They were probably the only ones present who knew the truth about the painting.
Witnessing firsthand the crowd’s shift from admiration to doubt and back to admiration.
What could they say at this moment?
Jiang Tong is incredible!
This is absolutely amazing!
"How about that, am I impressive or what?"
Jiang Tong retreated behind them, hooking their shoulders with hers, her peach blossom eyes full of amusement.
Who would have guessed how fast her heart was pounding when she said those words!
Although she did have a rather thick skin.
That scene was truly nerve-wracking.
One wrong move, and she’d be in pieces.
"Jiang Tong, you’re something else."
Ouyang Jingxian shook her head in a daze, not knowing what to say.
Qi Feng turned around, "Xiao Tong, how did you do it?"
Truly amazing!
Now not only is Mr. Tang’s reputation intact, but it will be even better after this incident.
"Of course, haven’t you seen what I rely on to make a living?" Jiang Tong coughed lightly, a hint of guilt flashing across her face.
After all, deceiving people like this...
Is somewhat unethical...
Hearing this, Ouyang Jingxian pouted.
She surely knew what Jiang Tong relied on to make a living.
Once, her mouth was unrivaled across Hengchuan.
Otherwise, she couldn’t have been the founder of the Haolan Debate Club.
Seeing Ouyang Jingxian zoning out, Jiang Tong raised her eyebrows and leaned in towards her.
"Hey, don’t get too infatuated with me, sister is just a legend."
