Chapter 724 13th Floor

The registration process for checking in was done quickly. Chen Yun brought Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu to verify their ident.i.ties and went upstairs.

A few groups of people were gathered at the elevator. This compet.i.tion was a worldwide meeting. Those who could partic.i.p.ate were all famous people. Everyone knew each other.

Xia Wanyuan stood by the side and listened to these peoples greetings.

Mr. Cui, youre here too? Your girl painting is not bad. Someone suddenly saw Cui Jian in the crowd.

Cui Jian was different from Cui Junyong. Cui Junyong learned Chinese painting techniques, while Cui Jian learned Western painting techniques. He had become famous at a young age and now had a place in the international painting industry. Furthermore, he was a high-profile person and liked to partic.i.p.ate in all kinds of activities, so many people knew him.

Master An, youre too kind. This time, seeing Master An, I have to learn from you. Cui Jians tone was completely different from how he had treated Xia Wanyuan.

By the time Cui Jian greeted everyone present one by one, the elevator had already come down.

Come in together, Master Yuan Wanxia? A group of people surged into the elevator, but Xia Wanyuan and the rest did not move. Cui Jian waved at Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at the s.p.a.ce that could accommodate half a person and was silent.

The corners of Cui Jians lips curled up as he closed the elevator.

Mr. Cui, did you just call her Master? Most Western painters had never heard of Yuan Wanxia.

Thats right. Cui Jian wished that someone would ask him this question. Aiyo, you dont know how amazing Yuan Wanxia is. She took advantage of her status as the champion of the World Youth Painter Compet.i.tion and said that she would definitely win this compet.i.tion.

Pfft, really?

The elevator was filled with people from the art world and was not unfamiliar with world youth compet.i.tions.

Being able to win the champions.h.i.+p meant that this person indeed had some ability. However, in the painting world, foundation was very important. A champion of the youth compet.i.tion actually had the delusion that she was invincible.

She was like a child who had just learned how to walk. It was too laughable for her to say that she wanted to win the world champions.h.i.+p in a short run.

Really, she just called me trash downstairs. Cui Jian pursed his lips. This person from China is too arrogant.

From China?? The female painter from a certain anti-China country scoffed when she heard that. Dont the people of that country think that theyre going to heaven every day? I wonder who gave them the courage.

China has been doing well in the economy for the past few years. Theyre rich. Look at the scenic areas outside. The Chinese are buying everywhere and everything like nouveau riche. The person suddenly laughed out loud. But you dont know. I heard from the Chinese reporters that half of the people there cant eat yet. Theres not even a door to the bathroom. China loves to do things like face.

I heard about it too. Theyre very strict over there. I heard that theyll be taken away if they dont hold a red book on the streets. Many tall buildings are filled with tofu slag and people dont live there. Theyre specially for us foreigners to see.

They had originally been asking about Xia Wanyuan, but in the end, it became a huge discussion to exchange their opinions of China. Whether it was people from advanced countries or non-advanced countries, they all expressed their ridicule for this country with a different ideology than theirs.

Cui Jian listened to everyones discussion and was secretly smug.

Although they were both from Y Continent, Han Country was originally a chess piece used by America to balance China. Most of the Han Country people were close to the West and looked down on China. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan had offended her relatives, causing their Cui family to be mocked wherever they went during this period of time.

He would definitely not let Xia Wanyuan have an easy time. Not only would she not be able to get a ranking, but he would also make her unable to raise her head in the world of art and roll back to China in a dejected manner.

Downstairs, Xia Wanyuan and the rest finally waited for the elevator.

Brother Chen, what floor are we on? Xia Yu looked at Chen Yun.

The 13th floor, Chen Yun replied. Then, Chen Yun felt that the people around him looked at them strangely.
