The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90: 088 Arrogant, writing “1 more chapter” in front of everyone

The speaker was none other than Lin Xi.

Lin Xi, now twenty-eight years old, possesses significant artistic talent and accomplishment in calligraphy and painting and is considered a promising young talent.

Since his teacher is a calligraphy master, he naturally received an invitation as well.

He arrived early, and the camera crew followed in behind him.

Lin Xi, full of youthful vigor, hadn’t given any thought or consideration to the consequences when he exposed the matter so directly.

After all, it didn’t have much to do with him.

Lin Xi, in front of the live broadcast camera, pointed to a very faint pattern in the middle of the scroll, “This is Master Wei Hou’s exclusive seal, which laymen can’t recognize.”

“But upon closer inspection, you can see that the pattern forms the character ‘Wei’.”

The teachers from Verdant exchanged looks, inevitably feeling some dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, there weren’t that many people watching the live broadcast at that moment.

The head of the art department snapped out of his shock, raised his hand, and signaled the cameraman to turn off the camera first.

Lin Xi’s expression was cold, “With such an incident, how does your school propose to handle it?”

He had only handed over this piece of writing to Wei Hou two days ago, and now he saw it here.

To claim it wasn’t stolen, he wouldn’t believe it.

“We were unaware of this incident as well, and didn’t expect a student to be so bold,” said the head of the art department without making excuses, “In that case, we’ll issue a criticism notice and expel the student during the opening ceremony.”

Verdant absolutely could not tolerate cheating.

Not to mention, this incident involved Wei Hou.

This time, the school had invited quite a few masters from the art world, including the Chairman of the Shanghai Calligraphy Association.

But Wei Hou is a director of the Hua Country Calligraphy Art Association.

Their statuses and positions were simply incomparable.

Using Wei Hou’s characters without permission, wasn’t this a provocation to the Hua Country Calligraphy Art Association?

The head of the art department looked at the characters on the scroll and frowned deeply.

He had his suspicions before, and now it turned out that Ying Zijin had not written them herself.

Lin Xi’s demeanor finally eased, “Your school’s decision is just, and the punishment indeed needs to be severe.”

No longer interested in watching further, he left the exhibition room and happened to run into Zhong Zhiwan.

“Senior Brother Lin,” Zhong Zhiwan greeted with a smile, “I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Zhiwan, I was actually looking for you,” Lin Xi pulled her aside, “Do you know a student named Ying Zijin?”

Zhong Zhiwan was surprised, “Ying Zijin? She’s my cousin, what about her?”

“No wonder,” Lin Xi knew that Zhong Zhiwan had borrowed the scroll to copy it, “She probably saw that it was well written, not knowing who wrote it, then stole it to participate in the art festival.”

Zhong Zhiwan hesitated, “That can’t be, although my cousin is from the countryside, she actually…”

“For money,” Lin Xi scoffed, “I’ve seen many people like her, they don’t truly appreciate calligraphy.”

His teacher is also from the Calligraphy Association, and every year many people want to become his disciples.

But many are just looking to exploit his teacher’s reputation to sell their calligraphy and paintings for more money.

“So—” Zhong Zhiwan paused, “Senior Brother Lin, you discovered she cheated?”

“Yeah, don’t plead on her behalf,” Lin Xi raised his hand, indifferently, “Your school will issue the criticism and expel her shortly.”

Zhong Zhiwan pressed her lips together, holding back a smile, “I understand, Senior Brother Lin.”

Below the stage.

In the student area.

The girl leaning back in her chair straightened up, and her half-closed eyes fluttered open.

The sunlight scattered over her long lashes, casting mottled shadows beneath.

“Daddy Ying, you’re not sleeping anymore?” Xiu Yu noticed her movement, “The opening ceremony hasn’t even started.”

Ying Zijin stretched languidly, her voice low and cool, “Something’s come up.”

“Hm?” Xiu Yu was puzzled, “What is it?”

“Nothing much,” Ying Zijin supported her head with her hand, relaxed and casual, “Just something entertaining.”

Xiu Yu scratched his head.

Here it went again, it was just like this.

It made him feel like their Daddy Ying was a fortuneteller.

A few minutes passed, and it was now nine o’clock sharp.

The filming equipment was fully set up to ensure the live broadcast would not be interrupted due to sudden malfunctions.

The stage had also been prepared with chairs and name plates on tables.

Some spots were empty, but most guests had already taken their seats, all leading figures in the art world.

With Lin Xi’s status, he could only sit in the third row.

The live broadcast officially started, and more and more people tuned in.

As a school ranked in the top three nationally, Verdant Middle School had an excellent reputation.

[Phew, made it for the opening ceremony, I want to see how grand Verdant really is.]

[I’m here, I’m here, take a look at the guest seats, there are so many masters indeed.]

[Lin Xi! Isn’t that Lin Xi? Lin Xi really is the pop icon of the art world, so handsome.]

[No, he looks good, but isn’t the art world supposed to be about skill, why focus on his face?]

[Then let me educate you about our art world pop icon, Lin Xi. When he was twelve years old, his calligraphy sold for a high price of five hundred thousand.]

[Awesome, awesome…]
