Shen Li tapped lightly on the phone screen.
this man.
She screened her phone and raised her heel to follow Shen Zhijin.
"Knowledge."
A forty-year-old foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes greeted Shen Zhijin with a smile, but his eyes fell on Shen Li behind him.
"This is your daughter, Tangtang?"
He speaks fluent Chinese.
Shen Zhijin nodded and introduced the two of them.
"Tangtang, this is Professor Carroll from the Art History Department of Morley University."
"Carol, this is my daughter, Shen Li."
Shen Li looked at the man in front of him, with deep eyebrows and three-dimensional features, he was extremely handsome.
Despite being forty years old, he still looks very attractive.
He smiled and held out his hand:
"Hello, Tangtang."
The corners of Shen Li's lips curved slightly, and she shook hands with him:
"Hello, Professor Carroll."
Carol blinked and said with a smile:
"I'm an alumnus of your mother's at Sulton College in Cyprus. You can call me uncle directly."
Shen Li looked at Shen Zhijin, and saw him nodding slightly.
Suulton College is a noble college in Cypress City, with high tuition fees, and the students are all from rich or noble backgrounds.
Gu Tingyin went to middle school there.
Shen Li was a little surprised, she didn't expect that Gu Tingyin's alumni would come tonight.
It sounds like the relationship between him and Gu Tingyin should be very good.
And with Shen Zhijin—
Letting Shen Zhijin introduce it specifically is already enough to explain the problem.
Shen Li is as good as others:
"Uncle Carol."
Carol was obviously very happy, his eyes stayed on Shen Li's face for a while, then he looked at Shen Zhijin, and said with a smile:
"I used to be very curious about what you and her daughter would look like, but looking at it now, it's even more beautiful than I imagined."
Shen Li's face perfectly combined the advantages of Shen Zhijin and Gu Tingyin.
Her eyebrows and eyes are like Shen Zhijin, and her straight nose bridge and the corners of her lips are very similar to Gu Tingyin.
Originally, her demeanor was cold, but those dark and clean peach blossom eyes looked more and more indifferent and cold.
But when he laughed, the pear dimple was looming, and the raised arc was almost a perfect replica of Gu Tingyin, with a rare bit of sweetness and softness, which invisibly diluted the bit of alienation and merged into a unique one. Qingyan.
Hearing the praise for Shen Li, a faint smile spread on Shen Zhijin's handsome face.
"Tangtang is more like Yinyin."
Shen Li became more and more curious. Being able to talk to Shen Zhijin like this, the relationship between him and them seemed to be closer than she had expected before.
"Seventeenth Night is your painting?"
Carol asked with a smile.
Shen Li is Ning Li, naturally the shadow of the tree.
Since she disclosed her identity last time, it has caused quite a stir in the domestic painting circle.
But she didn't expect that Carol also heard about this incident.
He was born abroad and is a professor at Morley University, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't pay too much attention to domestic affairs.
But considering that he taught art history, it seemed more reasonable.
"Yes."
She nodded slightly.
Carol said:
"Speaking of which, I've seen that painting at a student's place before."
Shen Li was taken aback: "What? Have you seen it before?"
How can this be
After the painting was completed, she sent it directly to the Yunzhou Painting Association and asked them to take the picture for it.
And it was Lu Huaiyu who took the picture.
And from that time till now, Lu Huaiyu has kept that painting carefully and has never taken it out.
Even if Carol met, it should be at the auction, not with the students.
As if seeing her thoughts, Carol shrugged and said with a helpless smile:
"I only found out some time ago that it was a fake."
Shen Li frowned.
counterfeit.
She has also seen a fake of "Seventeenth Night" in a gallery in the capital.
"When I saw that painting, I admired it very much, but it was a pity that it was slightly flawed, and I always felt a little strange. At that time, I only thought that the artist's talent was not enough, and I felt quite a pity. Unexpectedly, It was because it was a fake painting."
When Carol said this, it seemed a little pity, but also a little lucky,
"I just said that the overall look of the painting could have been better."
There is still a huge gap between real paintings and fake paintings.
From the perspective of ordinary people, they may feel that they are not much different, they all look the same, but Carol is a professional.
He teaches art history and is also a well-known master of painting appraisal.
An excellent original painting is definitely poured into the artist's thoughts and emotions.
Every stroke that falls on the canvas depends not only on the skill, but also on the painter's own thoughts.
It is a complete and natural work.
But fake paintings are not.
Follow the same way, the machine is stiff, it is just stepping on the road walked by others, like a puppet without soul.
So even though Carroll didn't know it was a fake at the time, he still felt something was wrong with the painting.
"I heard that the real thing is in his hand?" Carol said, lifting his chin in a certain direction.
Shen Li turned her head and saw Lu Huai and Zhenghe two men standing together and talking about something.
Carol was referring to him, of course.
"Well. It's on his side." Shen Li said.
Carol nodded and said with a smile:
"Tsk, it's really enviable. I wonder if it will be convenient for me to meet the real thing in the future?"
There are too many people who want the shadow paintings of trees, but there are only so many paintings she has produced in the past few years, and each one was quickly photographed and kept for private collection as soon as it came out.
No one else can even take a look.
Shen Li smiled:
"I'll ask him after that."
Although it was her painting, it is indeed Lu Huai's now, so I still need to ask.
Carol couldn't help laughing:
"Is he willing to reject you?"
At the banquet tonight, Shen Li and Lu Huai didn't have much contact with him.
But Carol could see clearly that Lu Huaiyu's eyes fell on her and never left.
This kind of thinking is really obvious.
"Carol." Shen Zhijin glanced at him.
He was still the same person as before, unrestrained, and joked on Tangtang's head.
Carol didn't agree with him, and gave a soft "tsk".
"When you chased Yinyin before, you were no better than that kid."
This is also putting on airs.
Shen Zhijin: "."
The corners of Shen Li's lips pursed into a smile, but it was rare to see Shen Zhijin suffer.
Immediately, she thought of another thing—the forgery of "Seventeenth Night".
At present, she is still not sure whether the pair he mentioned is the one that appeared in a gallery.
But she just had a gut feeling—maybe, it was possible!
She considered it and said:
"Uncle Carol, you just said that the fake pair was seen at a student's place. I don't know if it's convenient for you to disclose, but who is that student?"
Today's update time is not fixed, everyone can watch it together at night
