338 Study First
“This is really not Wang Zhi’s real work!”
“Which painter is Man? With such superb painting skills, she’s definitely not an unknown person.”
Everyone discussed this matter.
“She seems to be a female painter, but there are very few female painters in history. Her name doesn’t match theirs either.”
“There are actually still painters’ paintings that we don’t know about that haven’t been dug out. I have a feeling that if this person’s paintings are dug out, they will definitely be famous for generations!”
Hearing other people’s praise, Gu Man should be in a good mood, but looking at the words, she felt her heart sink.
It was not good to have an incomplete memory. She felt that she had forgotten something important. She shook her head and tried to push away the frustration in her mind.
Gu Man looked at the beautifully written words that had already been exposed without losing strength. The flamboyant style represented the carefreeness of the original painter. This was enough to prove that this painting was fake.
Shaking her head, Gu Man came back to her senses. Her slender finger pointed at the words.
“This painting is fake.”
No one refuted this fact. Elder Zhou and the Manager were in disbelief, as if they had yet to recover from the fact that this was a fake painting.
They had never heard of this so-called original painter’s name, which proved that this painting was not worth much.
Although the imitation was extremely similar, the fake was fake and could not compare to the real one.
She looked at the painting and decided to frame it back. After all, she still wanted to keep this painting for her collection.
Everyone was immersed in the fact that this painting was fake. No one could react that Gu Man had already started to frame the painting back.
As Gu Man was seriously framing the painting, an old voice suddenly came from the side.
“Little girl, where did you learn this skill? Your skills are not bad.”
She subconsciously looked up and saw an old man with a gray beard standing beside her.
Their conversation attracted the attention of many people. Someone recognized the old man and exclaimed.
“Why is Old Chen here?”
“Who is this old man? Why have I never seen him before?”
“You don’t even know Old Chen? He’s a famous archaeologist of the modern era. Speaking of which, his painting unveiling skills are top-notch. To be praised by Old Chen, it seems like Miss Gu really knows how to unveil paintings.”
“Didn’t you already know after watching for so long just now?”
“This is different. This is officially certified.”
When Gu Man heard the words from the crowd, she also realized that the person in front of her did not seem to have a simple identity and was quite authoritative in the archeological world.
She nodded as a greeting to Old Chen. “Self-study. Thank you for the compliment.”
However, Old Chen’s face could not be said to be familiar. She did not see him in the crowd just now. Could he have come suddenly?
At this moment, the Manager walked over. Unlike the flattery on his face when he faced the others, he had respect on his face when he faced Old Master Chen. “Why didn’t you tell me you were here?”
“I just came to take a look when I had nothing to do. I didn’t expect that I would discover a treasure.”
Old Chen stroked his beard and sized Gu Man up, feeling even more satisfied.
He had watched her unveil the painting just now. It was not an exaggeration to say that this little girl’s unveiling skills were even better than his.
He was really getting worse the more he lived. He could not even compare to a little girl’s painting unveiling skills.
However, Old Chen was convinced of his loss. Because there were probably not many people in this world who could surpass Gu Man’s painting unveiling skills, he was not too embarrassed.
“Little friend, continue.”
Old Chen raised his hand slightly to signal for Gu Man to continue. Gu Man nodded and continued what she was doing.
The process of framing the painting was much faster than unveiling it. Not long after, the painting had returned to its original state. Perhaps only by unveiling it could one discover the traces of someone unveiling it.
Looking at the completed painting, Old Chen was more and more satisfied. He touched the surface of the painting and suddenly looked up, his gaze landing on Gu Man. “Little friend, are you interested in following me after this?”
“I’m sorry, I’m focusing on my studies currently.”
