Chapter 746: Han Yin Is His Apprentice
Qiao Xi said indifferently, “There’s no need to make a fuss for now.”
Song Shijing was puzzled. “But that person plagiarized your work. You should be the champion of the Planet Music Festival!”
“It won’t be that simple. The evidence has to be taken out at special times to be of greatest use. Since she bullied my friend, she has to pay the price!” Qiao Xi smiled sinisterly.
“She shouldn’t think that just because she stole my account, those songs will be hers. She shouldn’t flatter herself if she doesn’t have the ability, or she’ll only get into trouble!”
After confirming the copyright matter, Qiao Xi and Gu Yao went to Fragrance Hotel to attend Li Xing’er’s birthday party.
On the other hand, Gu Zheng stood in front of the office window with a middle-aged man standing behind him. He said respectfully, “Mr. Han Ye, the international art exhibition will be held in Li City. We hope you can attend.”
The person in charge would invite Han Ye to attend every year’s international art exhibition because his influence was too great. He had admirers all over the world. Unfortunately, Han Ye kept a low profile and never showed his face. Moreover, he did not participate in any art exhibitions or competitions.
13 years ago, a painting that stunned the entire oil painting world appeared. Everyone thought that it was a new work by a hidden master. The International Oil Painting Organization investigated for a long time before discovering that the creator of the painting was actually a 13-year-old boy.
No one expected a 13-year-old boy to be able to create such a divine piece of art. After many inquiries, the International Oil Painting Organization confirmed that this 13-year-old boy was Han Ye.
Unfortunately, Han Ye was different from other artists. Painting was just a form of entertainment for him. His mind wasn’t on it. He only painted in his free time. He didn’t produce any new works for two or three years. He didn’t care how successful he was in the painting world.
When the president of the International Oil Painting Organization saw Han Ye’s painting for the first time, he decided to pass the position of president to him. Unfortunately, Han Ye refused. Later on, he never participated in the annual international art exhibitions.
The man was filled with disappointment. He had already guessed that Han Ye would not participate as usual. Who knew that in the next second…
Gu Zheng said casually, “Okay.”
The middle-aged man stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds before his eyes were filled with surprise. His voice trembled slightly. “Mr. Han Ye, are you serious? As long as… As long as you agree to attend, we’ll definitely not expose your identity! We won’t cause you any trouble!”
Gu Zheng nodded and said, “My assistant will give you my work later. Also, there’ll be another person attending with me.”
Han Ye’s work was naturally expensive, so he would only temporarily hand the work to the International Oil Painting Organization for the exhibition. After the exhibition ended, Han Ye’s work would be returned to him.
The man said hesitantly, “Mr. Han Ye, you said that there’s another person attending. Can I ask who that person is?”
Since 13 years ago, they had invited Mr. Han Ye every year, but he always rejected them. Could it be that he agreed to attend this time for that person?
Gu Zheng smiled. “Han Yin will attend with me.”
The man’s eyes widened in surprise and joy. “Miss Han Yin? She… She’s actually attending?”
“Yeah.”
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Han Ye, may I ask what your relationship with Miss Han Yin is?”
Both of them had the word ‘Han’ in their names, and they were about the same age. Although the outside world thought they were very old people, the International Oil Painting Organization knew their exact ages. It was just that both of them kept a low profile.
Gu Zheng’s lips curled up slightly. “What do you think their relationship is?”
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment before saying calmly, “Miss Han Yin is your apprentice, right? I remember that she’s only 20 years old. She’s suitable to be your apprentice.”
Gu Zheng was speechless. How annoying! Was he so unlike her husband?
…
Five o’clock.
Qiao Xi and Gu Yao arrived at Fragrance Hotel. At this moment, the hall was filled with people heading upstairs.
“So many people!”
The manager at the side explained, “Sixth Miss, apart from Miss Li’s birthday banquet, there’s also an apprenticeship banquet happening at Fragrance Hotel today. It’s in Room One. I heard that the master is a very famous oil painter. He has apprentices all over the country, and he has many friends too. Therefore, the people attending the apprenticeship banquet are almost filling up Fragrance Hotel.”
