"This painting is fresh with oil and ink, its theme stands out, and should have been painted recently. Combining elements like sunlight, forests, stream birds, its style, and the timing of the international oil painting exhibition, it’s not hard to guess that it’s an entry. Someone like my aunt, a globally renowned painter, would surely be on the invite list for such an exhibition."
"President Bo indeed possesses uncommon taste."
Xia Hewan praised.
Unexpectedly, he really understands art, breaking her narrow stereotype of businessmen. Like Zhuoxuan, though supportive of her artistic dreams, he remains oblivious to her work, with his mind occupied by business transactions and profit. Sometimes, when forced to glance at a few artworks, he only estimates their monetary value, exuding the scent of money.
She thought all businessmen were the same, lacking the ability to appreciate art and only knowing to prioritize profit.
Unexpectedly, she encountered an exception today, and it was her younger peer.
So young, yet thriving in business and also exploring the world of art, with a keen mind and meticulous observation, truly outstanding. Previously, she only heard of his name, but now, having met him, she wholeheartedly admires him. He’s truly worthy of being the youngest tycoon in the Imperial Capital and the most outstanding young talent. No wonder Wen Yan is so proud of him; if she had such a son, she’d talk about him all the time. Sadly, among her three children, none are interested in painting.
The CEO’s flattery isn’t bad, huh? Even better than hers, and her mom seems quite pleased.
Ye Xian’s eyes twinkled, already imagining her mom accepting his praise.
"Could we ask President Bo to comment on this painting?"
"It would be an honor. The painting, though titled ’Afternoon Forest’, finds its highlight in this beam of light entering the small window. It uses geometric shapes and equal forms to create a static composition that traps the eye, yet transitions into a dynamic gradient with added interesting elements that disperse the visual center in the forest. The lines are rhythmically rich, making the whole scene balance beautifully, rendering a lifelike atmosphere..."
Listening to the man’s eloquent discourse, looking at his focused profile, Ye Xian became absent-minded. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
This noble man, with every word graceful and articulate, filled with artistic charm, was the same person who made her call to hear him speak last night?
She was entranced, prompting Aunt Tao to hurriedly remind her from the side, "Miss, be careful not to cut your fingers!"
Bo Tingshen turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping over, startling Ye Xian to immediately put down the small knife, her eyes blinking innocently at him... Wrong, she won’t continue slicing.
How could someone be so charming that she gets carried away just by looking...?
Originally, Ye Shaowen intended to embarrass Bo Tingshen, but instead, it highlighted him in front of their mother, who seemed increasingly appreciative of him.
He was even more annoyed, "Mom, stop asking, be careful he runs out of words to use!"
"?"
Ye Xian looked at him in confusion. At this point, her second brother still wasn’t convinced?
Others also noticed that he was deliberately causing trouble.
But Bo Tingshen didn’t care, which made Ye Shaowen seem petty in comparison, causing Xia Hewan to glare at Ye Shaowen, "President Bo, don’t mind us, let’s continue viewing the painting."
"Mom..."
Ye Xian watched Ye Shaowen’s vexed look and Bo Tingshen’s calm demeanor, quietly picking up a piece of melon, becoming a spectator.
Why does it feel like her second brother and the CEO... are like a concubine and the empress in a palace drama? The concubine frequently makes things difficult for the empress, but unfortunately, the empress is so powerful, delivering a face-smacking comeback every time, exactly the same. Before, she only saw women in such acting scenes, but now she was witnessing the rare strategic confrontation between two men. Interesting, interesting!
She was contentedly ready to watch the show when Bo Tingshen suddenly withdrew his smile and walked towards her.
