I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a Thousand Years - Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Consequences of showing off skills

“Does it matter if I know how to draw?” Wu Chen asked Li Ruobing back with a smile.

Li Ruobing gave Wu Chen a faint look, then turned her head to turn on the computer, without looking at Wu Chen, and said, “You can do whatever you want.”

From then on, she really began to treat Wu Chen as air, just like Wu Chen didn’t exist.

Li Ruobing was very busy.

She was very busy yesterday, but Wu Chen suddenly brought up the matter of Su Qingying, so she had to go and have a look, and then she was involved in it, so she accumulated some work from yesterday and needed to finish it today.

Not long after Li Ruobing returned to the office, the secretary came over with a thick stack of folders, some for Li Ruobing to sign, and some for Li Ruobing to review.

Afterwards, some executives from Symphony came to Li Ruobing, said something to Li Ruobing, and left within a few minutes.

Li Ruobing was busy with work, and even got up and went to the window to make a phone call.

It’s not just that she treated Wu Chen as air.

Even the other people who came in and out of the CEO’s office treated Wu Chen like air.

It’s not that they really ignored Wu Chen, but that they were all very unfamiliar with Wu Chen, and they couldn’t talk to Wu Chen. The people who came to Li Ruobing’s office were all for work. They did not even have room to breathe, let alone casually strike up a conversation with anyone else in the room.

Before they knew it, twenty minutes had passed.

Before Wu Chen finished the painting, he wrote a line at 10 o’clock on July 12, 2020 in the lower left corner of the page.

He picked up his phone again, took a picture of the semi-finished product, and sent it directly to the group.

He typed again, “I drew something random.”

He just wanted to let the people in the group understand that this painting was painted by him just now, not how much time he had spent before, or that he had hired someone to paint it, and it wasn’t that someone was questioning him, but…he didn’t allow anyone to question his thinking!

Once they thought he’s awesome, it’s over!

He kept drawing.

Another full half hour passed.

It could be said that Wu Chen had been sketching this painting for a long time, and it took fifty minutes in total, because he wanted to sketch well. He wanted to show off his skills, and what he wanted was the final effect!

He was not in the mood to draw a second picture, so he did his best!

It was half past ten in the morning.

Li Ruobing was typing on the keyboard.

Wu Chen picked up his phone again, took a picture of the sketch he had just drawn, and sent it to the group, then raised his head and asked, “The sketch is finished, do you want to see it?”

Li Ruobing stopped typing on the keyboard, turned her head and glanced at Wu

Chen.

Wu Chen stood up with the sketch, walked to the table, threw it on the table, and said, “I’ll see myself off, throw it in the trash can after finishing it.”

After speaking, Wu Chen walked back.

Li Ruobing frowned slightly, picked up the sketch and looked at it, and immediately stopped. Her eyes were completely fixed on the sketch.

This sketch directly gave Li Ruobing a shocking feeling!

Because it didn’t look like a sketch! At first glance, it looks like an old black and white movie!

It was a figure of a woman busy in the office. The office had a very three-dimensional movie feel, but the montage technique was used to make the space appear distorted and heavy. Moreover, there were not one but three busy women. They were signing at the desk, looking up to communicate with the assistant, and standing by the window on the phone.

It was as if several transparent negatives were overlapped together, and different scenes were perfectly integrated into the same painting through the combination of virtual and real and line splicing!

A feeling of space passing, which strongly showed the busyness and concentration of the woman at work.

Rough lines and delicate strokes existed at the same time, making the contrast extremely high.

In terms of visual effects, because of the strong contrast, it gave people a stronger sense of visual impact, making people watching the painting unconsciously focus their eyes on the characters.

The woman in the painting was extremely delicate. Looking at it alone, it was really similar to a black and white photo. However, the woman in the painting had no frontal face, only a side face, but because of the black long straight hair, the side face was also shown. It’s not comprehensive, but it could still make people feel her strength and determination.

This feeling is reflected in the woman’s body movements, the gesture of raising her hand and the sharp eyes when talking to the assistant, standing by the window with one hand in the pocket of her trousers, and the very powerful standing posture when her back was facing.

Even the angle at which the collar of the white shirt was opened gave people a simple, direct and capable feeling… a sense of aura!

This sketch had aura!

The woman in the painting had aura!

Anyone who saw it should be able to see that this was a strong woman who was busy at work!

Li Ruobing was really shocked.

She never thought that Wu Chen could draw, and she was allowed to move casually. That’s not something someone who could draw would say, because she didn’t think Wu Chen could, but Wu Chen drew such a picture, so she was shocked… She looked at the painting for half a minute!

In fact, it’s because she didn’t know how to paint, that’s why.

This “do not understand” referred to the fact that the level of painting had not reached the level of the teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts. For Wu Chen, it was tantamount to not understanding!

In fact, Wu Chen was showing off his skills!

Showing off skills will lead to a consequence – full of craftsmanship!

Excessive craftsmanship would make most people be impressed at the first sight of the painting! They would think this painting was too awesome!

The ultimate pursuit of painting was the artistic conception, the feeling, the simplicity of returning to the basics, or the imagination of the painter.

Therefore, Wu Chen’s painting would be praised by the vast majority of people, but if it was seen by those top masters who “are still alive, but their works can already be collected by world-class collections”, they would deny Wu Chen.

Even though he had excellent painting skills, it could also be seen that Wu Chen is deliberately showing off his skills!

It’s not that Wu Chen lacked imagination, but a kind of excessive pursuit of details and excessive display of skills, resulting in a lack of artistic conception… a bit too much! Too much feeling!

However…

Wu Chen drew it like this on purpose!

Because his painting was for the people in the group, those students and their parents, they don’t have such a high level of appreciation, just like they can’t appreciate abstract oil paintings, if Wu Chen really tried his best to draw an apple for them, they would not I just think, isn’t that an apple? Um! It’s nice!

Wu Chen just wants to shock those in the penguin group who don’t appreciate it enough!

So, he wanted to show off!

Li Ruobing was still looking at Wu Chen’s sketch.

After Wu Chen returned to the sofa and sat down, he took out a few tissues, wiped his hands, and then picked up his phone to look at it.

Causing an uproar in the group was successful!

After he posted this painting in the art exchange group, the group chat started to scroll crazily.

–Damn it!

–Damn it!

–Hey kid, don’t swear.

–This is awesome!

— Kneeling to God Touch!

–Who is this woman? I can’t see her face, but I feel her greatness.

–My mother asked me why I was kneeling on the keyboard.

–@Xing Chen, where do you work my friend? I am from the American Association.

Some people were amazed, some were “kneeling”, and some were asking Wu Chen’s work unit.

Wu Chen didn’t speak in the group.

Because someone is already chatting with him in private, more than a dozen people are chatting with him in private, and there are also eight or nine people who have added friends.

Wu Chen flipped through the information.

None replied.

Wu Chen turned off the sound reminder of the Penguin, so Li Ruobing couldn’t hear the notification sound.

More and more people added Wu Chen as friends.

More and more people chatted privately.

Finally! Wu Chen saw a group temporary private chat dialog box popped up!

The online name of the person who sent the message was: Linyuan Buxianyu.

Gender: Female!

That’s her! Wu Chen was looking for her!

She was a woman who was not so important but very important to Ding Ruilong! Among the many women connected to Ding Ruilong, she had a very special status! She knew Ding Ruilong for a long time.

She was Ding Ruilong’s high school senior.

The reason why she was special was because she once made a mistake with Ding Ruilong.

This mistake was… she gave birth to a child for Ding Ruilong!

A fourteen-year-old… daughter!

Ding Ruilong’s illegitimate daughter!
