324 Wang Zhi’s Painting

However, perhaps because they felt that what had just happened was too embarrassing, Elder Zhou did not auction again or say anything else. He even pulled down the curtain. Many people thought that Elder Zhou was ashamed and had left long ago. They did not expect him to still be in the private room.

“Is this Wang Zhi’s painting?”

Elder Zhou’s voice was very excited and even trembled.

Everyone knew that Elder Zhou liked calligraphy and paintings the most. He even had a high status in the calligraphy and painting world. Some people who were about to leave smelled something unusual and immediately sat back down.

As one of the four great families, Elder Zhou was not worried about his competitors. He only looked at the center of the stage with a flushed face and even lifted the curtain without a care. He had long forgotten what had embarrassed him just now.

Elder Zhou was still thinking about how to resolve his embarrassment when he returned. When he suddenly heard the manager mention Wang Zhi, he did not dare to believe it at first. It was a long time before he came back to his senses. He looked at the calligraphy painting on the screen and realized that it indeed had some of Wang Zhi’s elegance.

Although Wang Zhi’s paintings were not widely circulated, some people had seen the electronic version. Wang Zhi’s style had a very unique personal style, so it was very easy to distinguish.

The manager smiled and nodded. “This is Wang Zhi’s painting.”

Gu Man looked at the extremely familiar painting in the middle of the screen and couldn’t help but smile.

Xiang Yin seemed to have sensed something and turned to look at the smile on her face. That smile was not as excited as when she saw something she liked. Instead, it was as if she had seen something ridiculous.

“Could this painting be fake?”

“It’s indeed fake.”

Gu Man had also liked Wang Zhi very much previously and had once imitated Wang Zhi’s painting. It was this painting. However, she did not expect them to dig it out from somewhere and put it up for auction as Wang Zhi’s painting.

It was no wonder that Gu Man could not help but want to laugh. After all, who did not want to laugh when they saw their painting appear at the auction and be treated as a prodigy’s painting?

However, this was enough to prove her superb painting skills. Although it was an imitation, it had been sold for a high price at that time. It was just that Gu Man kept it for herself and did not sell it. She did not know how it flowed into the hands of the auction house.

Xiang Yin did not know Wang Zhi very well. Hearing her certainty, he was a little curious. “Do you know much about calligraphy and painting?”

“I don’t know it well. I just know a little. I just happen to know about Wang Zhi,” Gu Man replied.

“But this painting is really good.”

Although Xiang Yin did not know anything about paintings, he was inevitably stunned when he saw the painting in the manager’s hand.

The strokes of the painting were nimble. They were sharp and gentle. The contradictory temperament of the two fused together. It did not feel stiff, but there was a strange feeling.

The painting was naturally a good painting, so Xiang Yin did not suspect anything when they said that it was a famous work. However, Gu Man was so sure that she even revealed a self-deprecating expression the moment she saw them. It was inevitable that people would be confused.

“Naturally.”

Facing other people’s praise, Gu Man was not humble. She smiled and agreed.

Although Xiang Yin might not know that she had drawn this, this did not affect Gu Man’s mood from Xiang Yin’s praise.

The auction downstairs was already in progress. Elder Zhou kept pressing the buttons without any hesitation, looking like he wanted to keep this painting.

No matter what price others bid, he would follow closely behind and did not care about the price at all.

Everyone in the industry knew that Elder Zhou was interested in calligraphy and paintings. Seeing how excited he was, some people were tempted.

The atmosphere of the entire auction instantly became fiery. More and more people were auctioning, but no one was as forthright as Elder Zhou. As long as someone was higher than him, he would press the button without hesitation.

He even left it to the people who were serving him from beside while he stood by the railing and admired the painting in the middle of the stage.

“I must get Wang Zhi’s painting.”

Elder Zhou said this to make some people retreat and not struggle meaninglessly. In terms of wealth, who could compare to the four great families?
