#75 - Chapter 75: Improved drawing skills!
Lin Chen smiled and asked, "Is baby being good?"
"Daddy, I'm good."
"I'm the best, giggle."
Lin Chen: "Then, Xiao Qian, you need to take your medicine obediently."
The smile on Lin Xiaoqian's face froze: "Daddy, sometimes I'm a good baby, and sometimes I'm not."
Lin Chen found it amusing: "Not a good baby now?"
"That's right."
Lin Chen: "Xiao Qian, take this last dose, then take a bath, and your illness will be better tomorrow. We can go play with Nannan and Qiqi."
Qiqi is a new friend of Lin Xiaoqian's. She met her when Xu Mengyao took her downstairs to play.
Lin Xiaoqian hesitated.
She also wanted to go out and play with her friends.
"Daddy, I want to eat two candies."
Lin Xiaoqian counted on her fingers.
"Alright."
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoqian, dotingly.
......
At 10:30 PM, Xu Mengyao turned off her computer.
She had brought some work home and had just finished it. She had to attend a birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, so she had to hurry up and complete the work in advance.
"President Xu, can your painting be framed better? I can give you a cheaper price, even at cost."
Xu Mengyao saw a message.
The message was from the framing master she had hired.
Xu Mengyao had requirements for the framing craftsmanship, but she asked him to use very ordinary framing materials.
"Elder Pei, it's not that I'm short of money."
"This is a gift for someone else; expensive materials are not appropriate."
Xu Mengyao sent him a message.
He hadn't slept yet, and she quickly received a reply: "President Xu, compared to your painting, even the most expensive framing won't increase its value much."
Xu Mengyao was silent for a few seconds and replied: "The painting was painted by my husband."
What's wrong with giving away a painting painted by her own husband? Buying someone else's painting for ten thousand yuan might be expensive, but her husband's painting has basically no cost.
Even if someone reported her and the Discipline Inspection Commission investigated, there would be no problem.
The person on the other end was called Pei Gongyi, and a look of amazement appeared in his eyes. This painting was actually painted by Xu Mengyao's husband.
"A rare talent."
Pei Gongyi thought to himself.
Xu Mengyao was very young, and her husband shouldn't be too old either.
"President Xu, I understand."
"I will try my best to frame it with ordinary materials."
Pei Gongyi replied.
"Thank you."
Pei Gongyi got out of bed.
He unfolded the painting Lin Chen had painted.
As a framing master, he had framed calligraphy and paintings his whole life, so he naturally had a high vision. In his opinion, this painting was completely comparable to a top masterpiece.
"A waste of talent."
"Some people ask me to put a gold edge on a dung pot, but this is good, using scrap metal to decorate a peerless beauty."
Pei Gongyi muttered to himself.
He planned to start now.
He had to use the most ordinary things to try to frame the best effect.
This would take a lot of time.
......
The next day, Lin Chen taught Lin Xiaoqian how to paint.
"Host, your painting skills have reached the legendary level."
The system's voice sounded in Lin Chen's mind.
Soon, a lot of information kept pouring into Lin Chen's mind.
Lin Chen's body was also undergoing subtle changes, the biggest change being his hands. Top painting skills naturally have requirements for hands.
His hands were now steadier than a surgeon's.
"Daddy, I don't want this one anymore."
"This one isn't painted well."
Lin Xiaoqian said blankly.
Lin Chen's skills had been upgraded to the legendary level, and her talent had also been upgraded!
Lin Xiaoqian's painting talent was already good, probably around 30 points, and the original doubling would bring it to 60 points.
Now her painting talent could be increased by two times!
Lin Xiaoqian's painting talent should have exceeded 90 points.
Above 90 is a world-class genius.
With a surge in talent, Lin Xiaoqian discovered some problems with her painting, and she had better ideas.
"Xiao Qian, then draw a new one."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoqian nodded and started quickly.
Lin Chen watched quietly, and he found that Lin Xiaoqian was more focused. Top geniuses would not have weak concentration.
Half an hour passed, Lin Chen only reminded her slightly, and Lin Xiaoqian completed a pretty good work on her own.
Compared to the previous one, this one was better, more creative, and had more beautiful lines. It was not in the same league at all.
"Effort in the face of talent is really nothing."
Lin Chen muttered in his heart.
Lin Xiaoqian liked to paint, and he taught her very carefully. There was progress before, but the speed of progress was not particularly fast, but now it was a leap forward.
Of course, the current progress is also related to the previous learning.
Lin Xiaoqian didn't understand some of what he said before, but now that her talent has increased, she suddenly understands.
"Daddy, is my painting good-looking?"
Lin Xiaoqian asked happily.
Lin Chen nodded: "Xiao Qian, you paint very well. As long as you work hard, you will paint better and better in the future."
"Daddy, painting is so fun."
"Can I draw another one?"
Lin Xiaoqian asked expectantly.
Lin Chen shook his head: "No, we need outdoor exercise. You are still young, and if you don't get enough outdoor exercise, you will use up your farsightedness reserve in advance."
"What is farsightedness reserve?"
Lin Xiaoqian asked puzzled.
"This... you will know when you are older. Go get the ball, let's go out to play, maybe Nannan and the others are downstairs."
"Okay."
Lin Xiaoqian went over and picked up the basketball.
Lin Chen: "Xiao Qian, why do you choose basketball every time now?"
"Because Daddy, you are so handsome, you are the most handsome when you play basketball. I can cheer for you with Mommy."
"Daddy, when will you play basketball again?"
Lin Xiaoqian looked at Lin Chen expectantly.
Lin Chen looked at Lin Xiaoqian. For her, the happiest thing was to cheer for her dad's games with her mom.
"Xiao Qian, there will be opportunities."
"You practice more with Daddy now."
......
After finishing a meeting, Xu Mengyao picked up her phone.
Lin Chen sent her a few messages.
But they were all daily photos of Lin Xiaoqian.
"Why are there so many messages in the class group?"
Xu Mengyao had a faint ominous premonition in her heart.
"Xu Mengyao actually secretly got married."
"The school beauty is married, my youth is gone."
"When are you holding the banquet?" @Xu Mengyao
......
Hundreds of messages in the group were discussing her.
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"Mengyao, I'm sorry, I couldn't help but tell Zhang Yan, I told her to keep it a secret, but I didn't expect—"
Liu Siqi had already sent her a private message.
Xu Mengyao: "..."
She knew it would be leaked, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.
"Forget it, knowing is knowing."
Xu Mengyao sent a message to Liu Siqi.
It had already spread, so what could she do?
"Lin Chen, I asked Li Li and the others to keep it a secret, Liu Siqi said she told a friend, and I guess it spread from one to another, and now they are spreading it in the group."
Xu Mengyao also sent a message to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen: "It's okay, anyway, I plan to hang myself on your crooked-neck tree, it won't affect me."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"You are the crooked-neck tree."
"Really? Then we're a perfect match."
The corners of Xu Mengyao's mouth turned up slightly.
