Fast forward to Thursday.
At noon, after finishing the experiment, Shen Li received a call from Yu Pingchuan as soon as she came from the laboratory building.
"A Li? Are you free at noon? Can you come to Jinse Bay?"
Shen Li paused:
"It's free, what's the matter?"
Yu Pingchuan's voice was helpless:
"Master had a quarrel with someone today, and now he is so angry that he refuses to eat. I really can't persuade him. I think he listens to you the most. Why don't you take a look?"
Shen Li was silent for a moment, almost thinking that she had heard wrong.
"... Did he quarrel with others, or did he scold others unilaterally?"
"..."
Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my junior sister.
Yu Pingchuan's voice became softer,
"... It's the master unilaterally scolding a group of people."
Shen Li: "..."
Yu Pingchuan seemed to feel that his master seemed a little too domineering when he said this, so he called out again:
"It's actually like this. When Shi Yang released a new painting, it sold for a high price at the auction. Someone came to ask Master what he thought, and Master said two words: It's not worth it."
Shen Li's eyelids twitched.
"Didn't this blow up the pot right away? Many people complained about Shi Yang, and a few of them even quarreled with Master this morning, saying that no matter what, Shi Yang is also the vice chairman of the Painting Association. Master said so, it is really too disrespectful." Shi Yang saved face, for the sake of the Painting Association, and hoped that Master would take back that comment. But you don't know Master's temper, everyone scolded them on the spot and drove out the door."
Shen Li pressed her temples.
No wonder.
Mei Yanqing is notorious for her violent temper. For so many years, she has never said anything in the painting circle, and her tongue is extremely sharp and poisonous.
For this reason, he really offended many people, but he has never been soft, and he is still the same.
Although many people have a headache because of this, but Mei Yanqing is really capable, the real Taishan Beidou in the domestic painting circle.
Who is qualified to stop what he wants to say
This time he publicly made such an evaluation of Shi Yang's paintings, which undoubtedly had a great influence on Shi Yang and the Painting Association.
No wonder those people would come to persuade them.
As a result, Mei Yanqing was completely annoyed.
Shen Li said:
"I see. I just finished the experiment here, and I will go there later."
Only then did Yu Pingchuan let go of his hanging heart.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
…
Half an hour later, Shen Li arrived at Jinse Bay.
Yu Pingchuan was waiting at the door, and when he saw her coming, his tense and worried face immediately relaxed, as if seeing a savior:
"Ari! You're here!"
Shen Li glanced inside: "How is Master doing now?"
While leading her inside, Yu Pingchuan said in a low voice:
"Still angry! Staying alone in the study and refusing to come out!"
It can be seen that he was really angry.
Shen Li went to the study.
The door was locked, and she knocked.
"Master, it's me."
It was quiet for a while, then footsteps could be heard.
Mei Yan cleared the door and saw Shen Li, her face softened a lot, but then she realized something, and she frowned and looked at Yu Pingchuan:
"Ari is so busy, why did you call her over?"
Of course he knew that Yu Pingchuan asked Shen Li to persuade him.
Yu Pingchuan coughed lightly.
Shen Li smiled and said:
"Master, I'm not busy today."
After all, Mei Yanqing couldn't get angry with her, so she could only stare at Yu Pingchuan again.
Yu Pingchuan had no choice but to pretend he didn't see it:
"Ari, you haven't had lunch yet, have you?"
Shen Li shook her head: "No."
Mei Yanqing frowned suddenly: "What time is it? Why don't you eat on time?"
Shen Li glanced at him quietly.
Mei Yanqing was suddenly at a loss for words.
Yu Pingchuan hastily said:
"Then come quickly! The meal is ready!"
Shen Li said:
"Master, let's eat together."
Mei Yanqing gritted her teeth.
"coming."
…
Several people finally sat at the dining table together.
Shen Li filled Mei Yanqing with soup and put it by his hand:
"Although your operation was quite successful and your subsequent recovery is not bad, you still need to pay more attention, eat on time, and eat a balanced diet."
Her tone was light, but Mei Yanqing couldn't get angry at all, so she could only drink the soup with her head down, her voice was a bit muffled:
"Know."
"Besides, didn't I tell you many times before, don't get angry."
"How can you blame me? It's not that those people are too much!" Mei Yanqing was really annoyed when she said this, "They insisted on asking my opinion. I told the truth, and there was something wrong? They still What are you saying, tell me not to bring my personal likes and dislikes into the judgment of the painting? Fart! Shi Yang's painting is not worth that price!"
Hearing this, Shen Li finally knew why he was so angry.
Mei Yanqing was sharp and picky, but she was fair.
He doesn't like Shi Yang, it's no secret in the Painting Association, now that they have misunderstood him, of course he will be annoyed.
Yu Pingchuan persuaded:
"Master, anyway, Shi Yang is not on the same path as us, why are you so serious about him? You see, it's too embarrassing now."
Mei Yanqing was still angry.
Shen Li picked up a chopstick dish for him, smiled, and said:
"You can't blame the master. In the end, the master just gave his own judgment. Shi Yang is not the first painter he criticizes, and he certainly won't be the last one. There is no need to go to war like this."
Only then did Mei Yanqing feel happy:
"Listen! A Li is very right! What Shi Yang cares about is not the painting at all, what he cares about is his own face!"
Yu Pingchuan froze for a moment.
It seems... It's kind of like that...
Shen Li said:
"But anyway, this thing has already happened. If you say it and scold it, don't even think about it. It's not worth it to get angry and ruin your health—you don't want to be hospitalized again, do you?"
Mei Yanqing snorted, but she planned to expose it after all.
"Listen to Ali."
Yu Pingchuan finally let out a long sigh of relief.
He smiled and asked:
"By the way, Ali, you are going to see the art exhibition tomorrow, right?"
Mei Yanqing paused, and asked slowly:
"Art exhibition? What art exhibition?"
The restaurant was suddenly quiet.
Yu Pingchuan couldn't stop regretting it, how could he slip up just because he was happy for a while!
Luo Nai is the only one who will hold an art exhibition in the capital tomorrow!
Shen Li calmly picked up a piece of potato:
"Mr. Launet's exhibition."
Mei Yanqing: "Oh?"
A single word made the surroundings even more dead silent.
Shen Li nodded as usual:
"Yes, the second brother likes his paintings very much, I'll go and have a look with him."
Mei Yanqing let out a cold snort.
"This kid talks a lot about love affairs!"
Shen Li: "..."
She calmly took out her phone and sent a message to Lu Huaiyu.
[Second brother, let's go to see Mr. Luo Nai's art exhibition tomorrow.]
…
At the same time, the Lu family.
Mr. Lu asked in surprise:
"Luonai's painting exhibition? Ali still likes his paintings?"
Lu Huai nodded.
Mr. Lu: "Oh, I didn't know that before!"
Seeing that Lu Huai and bowed their heads to reply to Shen Li's message, old man Lu immediately took out his mobile phone and posted on Weibo.
[Ari No. 1: Today's news: Ari actually likes Luo Nai's paintings!]
