Linda thought that she would still remember today's scene a long time later.
Art Consulting Club has already cleared a floor for this competition.
At eight o'clock, the media reporters were ready to enter. At eight thirty, the audience entered the venue one after another, and the contestants, judges, executives of the Art Consulting Agency, and guests also arrived.
The seats were packed, and the 120 Building ushered in the biggest ceremony, and the crowd was booming.
The place was noisy, with constant chatter and discussion. After finishing her work as a receptionist, she did not take a seat. She avoided the crowd and chose a corner seat to enjoy the bustling scene alone.
Professor Xia and his wife, who are both famous painters, met Gu Lan first, and then chatted with several painting masters. It was obvious that everyone was looking forward to this competition. In the painting circle, other old and new people also gathered together, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.
Not long after, Gu Tengyu and his son arrived and joined the conversation circle. Lin Ziyan and Xu Qing were greeting them from the side. Lin Ziyan seems to be fooling around, but he has a good way of handling things, and he is even more polite at this time. His just-right, measured elegance is in great contrast with his baby face. Such a person, although in Gu Ye's eyes, Bai's side was still bright and graceful.
At 8:45, Gu Yebai's chief disciple Chen Yinong and his fiancée Zhou Huaian arrived, bringing another climax to the scene. The judges and contestants were also led to the center of the field by the staff.
Eight fifty-five. The atmosphere began to become tense, some people looked normal, but more people couldn't help but look up.
The location of the gate has become the most mysterious place. A large number of reporters are waiting.
"What?" The man's smiling voice sounded in his ears.
She smiled back, thinking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
"There's still one person left, but it's coming, right?" she said.
Lin Ziyan nodded clearly, and Xu Qing beside her had her eyes drifting to the door.
At 8:58, the host came on stage. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the place where everyone was gathered to visit, and he was about to prepare for the opening. The game will officially kick off at nine o'clock sharp. As a professional host, he knows that it cannot be a minute late.
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly.
"He's here! Gu Yebai is here!"
Within a few seconds, the whole place was in an uproar!
Almost half of the people stood up from their seats, as if there was some power that captivated people's hearts.
At the door, the spotlight flashed, and many men blocked the reporters who were rushing up in an orderly manner.
"President Gu, do you have any clues about the person who hurt your hand?"
"I heard that your recovery is not going very well. Does the glove on your hand mean anything?"
…
"Thank you for your concern. It's just that the game has started, so I'm sorry."
Dressed in a black CERRUTI custom-made slightly cold suit, the leader turned out burgundy lines, the corners of the man's mouth raised slightly, and his fatal elegance and luxury ignited the audience, making all eyes madly chase his right hand wearing a white glove. Huai'an also stood up.
Gu Tengyu, who was sitting in the guest seat, smiled coldly.
The man kept walking and walked to the judging table.
He slowly stood up, looked around the audience and nodded, his voice immediately resounding throughout the entire venue.
"He looked at me!"
"Saw me too."
But one glance made everyone feel like this: Gu Yebai is looking at me! Linda and Lin Ziyan looked at each other and smiled at the excited voices beside them. It's no surprise that I'm used to it.
Gu Yebai bent slightly towards everyone on the judging stage.
"You are becoming more and more promising as a student. You have the potential to attract people's attention. You are like a new generation leader in the painting world." Mrs. Xia smiled back and whispered in her husband's ear.
Professor Xia patted his wife's hand. It was rare for a man who was always modest to show complacency. He nodded slightly towards Gu Yebai.
Gu Yebai walked to the judging table. His position, in the center, is the chief judge.
The staff member took the envelope from Professor Xia and handed it to the host. This was a topic that was decided before everyone set off from the hotel arranged by the conference this morning. It was kept absolutely confidential.
The host took the envelope, opened it solemnly, and read the test questions aloud.
In an instant, hundreds of contestants in the field were immersed in painting.
The competition on the first day was the most watched one, but Linda didn't listen to the question at all. The door was tightly closed the moment Gu Yebai entered. She also returned to her rightful place with Lin Ziyan. However, there is someone who is supposed to come but has not arrived yet.
Time passed by with heart-burning urgency and waiting.
One hour, almost halfway done. Linda knew that that person would probably never come. Why didn't she arrive? Was it because the president's evaluation of her was misguided, was she timid before the game, or was something happening over there
Even if she arrives now, she can't make it in time.
And, miracles don’t always happen. Therefore, she didn't even call to ask, and it was useless to ask. What is supposed to come will always come, and if there is no fate, it is useless to ask for it.
Despair reached its peak. There seemed to be a slight fluctuation and slight sound in the air.
The venue with hundreds of people was extremely quiet due to the ongoing competition, leaving enough space for the artist. This was not a talent show, so there was no need to make noise. All that is needed is to mark time and space with a drawing pen.
Then, suddenly, the slight sound on the door touched everyone's heart.
Some painters even raised their heads and looked at the door, as if waiting for something to happen.
The sound was loud and the door was slowly pushed open. Three people appeared there.
On the left and right are a man and a woman, the man is elegant and handsome, and the woman is tall and beautiful.
A young girl stood quietly between the two. Her long hair is slightly messy, and her eyebrows are clear and shallow, curved like a crescent moon. His water-clear eyes looked over the entire audience, as if searching for something eagerly.
Her face was slightly blushing, and the redness between her cheeks was a bit unnatural. Her posture was also a bit weird, with one hand on her chest.
Finally, her eyes fell on the man in charge of the judging panel. His dark eyes were focused, and he was also looking at her.
Two staff members hurriedly came forward to ask, and her voice was slightly urgent.
"Sorry, I'm late. No. 103, Lu Youyan is here to compete."
As soon as the words came out, the whole place was shocked.
