The Evil Villainess' Sweet Love Story

Chapter 145 Participating in the Design Competition

All of them were disciples of Master Nanshan. No matter what, they were all genuine talents. However, this Xu Wanwan did not seem to possess anything else other than her good looks.

Furthermore, Master Nanshan was especially biased toward her. Perhaps she had really used some disgraceful means.

When Zhou Lin heard her Master’s biased words, she felt even more uncomfortable.

She stood up, looking as if she were trying to smooth things over. “Master, since the students still don’t understand the abilities of the new disciples, why don’t we let all of them participate in this design competition?”

“This architectural design competition will be held soon. At that time, the winner will also have access to a bigger platform. Their works will also have a chance to be purchased by high-quality enterprises at a high price. This is a very good opportunity.” Master Nanshan sounded a little better when he heard this. “That’s a good idea.”

“Then it’s decided. The design competition is next month, so all of you should get ready.”

Xu Yue said confidently, “Master, I have no problem with that!”

Hmph, it’s time to see whether it was a mule or horse that will walk when pulled.*

She had studied drawing and design for more than ten years. How could she not be better than a country bumpkin?

Li Jingran might be able to Xu Wanwan for a while, but he could not help her for the rest of her life. Let’s see how arrogant she would be if she were to lose in the competition.

Master Nanshan glanced at Xu Wanwan. “Can you do it?”

“I can do it too.” Xu Wanwan smiled faintly and her eyes were calm.

Although she had never studied professionally, with her experience from her previous life, she should be able to get better at it. There was still a month’s time. She could still make use of it to learn more about the famous works of the industry.

After all, she could only gain master Nanshan’s appreciation by completing outstanding designs.

Only then could she obtain Master Nanshan’s designs for the Li Corporation.

For this goal, she would definitely try hard!

After the apprenticeship ceremony ended, Master Nanshan brought them to his private exhibition hall.

“These are my works from recent years. Take a look, maybe it will give you some inspiration.”

Xu Wanwan walked in the exhibition hall and looked at the works hanging high on the wall. She could not help but admire them.

As expected of a master. These design works were all remarkable.

There was a huge gallery in the exhibition hall. The paintings hanging there were also very outstanding

Xu Yue saw that Xu Wanwan was looking at them so seriously, so she snorted in disdain.

She really knew how to put on an act. She clearly did not know anything, but she still had the nerve to look at them with interest.

She straightened her chest and stepped forward. “Master, your works are really great, especially that landscape painting. I like it very much!”

“Actually, I’ve been learning Chinese painting since I was young. My parents have always trained me to be exposed to works of art. I’m very lucky to be able to see your work today. I’m very proud of it.”

Master Nanshan chuckled. “As my disciple, I hope that you can create such works as well.” Xu Yue said eagerly, “With your meticulous guidance, I’ll definitely work hard and not let you down.”

Zhou Lin walked to the side and observed Xu Yue’s performance from time to time. A hint of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.

As expected, she was a talkative girl who knew how to cater to her master.

She also followed and said, “Master, to create in our line of work, liking it is vital. Xu Yue has been learning art since she was young. I believe she will definitely learn a lot from you.”

Her words were not only meant to praise Xu Yue, but she also insinuated that Xu Wanwan did not know art.

“You’re right.” Master Nanshan nodded. “But liking and being able to understand art are two different things.”

“In our line of work, the most important thing is a keen talent.”

Xu Yue pursed her lips and snickered.

Wasn’t this purely praising herself?

With her talent, she would definitely be highly valued by Master Nanshan when the time comes.

Xu Wanwan followed behind a few of them. She did not speak to them, only quietly appreciating the work.

After walking for a while, Master Nanshan suddenly turned around. “Little Xu, come here.”

Hearing her Master calling her, Xu Wanwan hurried over.

“Master, are you looking for me?”

“Yes,” Master Nanshan said calmly. “After seeing so much, do you have any insights?”

Xu Wanwan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. “Master, my talent is mediocre, so I cannot comment on your works yet.”

Although she didn’t love art that much, she still had a lot of respect for this profession.

She was just a newbie who had just started, so how could have the right to critique Master Nanshan’s works?

Master Nanshan could not help but laugh. “You’re such an honest child.”

“I’ve taken in disciples for many years. The most I’ve heard is praise. You’re the first person to choose to remain silent.”

Xu Wanwan said in a low voice, “I’m sorry. I’m lacking in words. I can’t describe the amazement in my heart.” Master Nanshan smiled kindly and waved his hand. “Forget it, I went through the same thing as you guys. Modesty is a good thing, but you should still have confidence in yourself.”

“Maybe in a few decades, your artistic attainments will far surpass mine.” Xu Wanwan did not know how to respond to that. She just smiled slightly. She felt that what her Master said made sense.

After all, the river flows east for thirty years, and the river flows west for thirty years. No one knew what the future would be like.

Some of them watched for a while more. Then Xu Wanwan suddenly thought of something.

Lin Jianan’s father’s birthday was coming up, and she still wanted to ask if Master Nanshan’s works were for sale.

Taking advantage of the silence, she took small steps forward. “Master, can I ask you a

question?”

“If you have something to ask, don’t be shy!” Master Nanshan said straightforwardly.

Xu Yue and Zhou Lin also quieted down. The two of them stood at the side and watched the show.

They also wanted to know what kind of question Xu Wanwan would ask.

A country bumpkin like her might even make a joke out of herself.

Xu Wanwan paused and said softly, “Master, are your works for sale?”

The moment she said that, there was silence in the air.

Even Master Nanshan was surprised for a moment.

He had already prepared to answer his disciple’s professional question, but he did not expect Xu Wanwan to ask the most unexpected question. Was his work for sale?

Interesting!

This was something his disciples had never dared to say. When Zhou Lin heard this, she almost laughed out loud.

As expected of an out-and-out country bumpkin, she actually displayed his ignorance of the world to such an extent.

She also didn’t think that an outstanding artist like Master Nanshan would sell her work cheaply.

To be able to buy his work, the other party would either be rich or noble.

Even she didn’t have any of her Master’s works.

A newbie had the nerve to ask such a shameless question.

Xu Yue was also gloating.

This was hilarious. This country bumpkin, Xu Wanwan, was so stupid that she could even say such nonsense.

Should he sell it or not? Why should he sell it to her? Moreover, could she afford it?

Master Nanshan looked at Xu Wanwan with a hint of scrutiny. Has this girl always been so honest?
