Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Wang Yi smiled again and said, "This is the opinion of the academy administrator. They said that as Student Ye is still at the beginner level, it's temporarily considered just a practice work, merely an exercise, so they try not to burden you with too many other things that might affect your progress."

Impact her progress?

Just a practice work?

Chiang Xiao is already a talented young painter; hers is only considered homework, right?

It's bullying, truly too much bullying!

Wang Yi continued, "This is merely for charity; the ultimate goal is to raise funds for building a school in Shitou Town, not an opportunity for personal publicity. Student Ye, don't you agree?"

Ye Wanqing nearly coughed up blood.

Could she say she didn't agree?

"But still, you can't act as though she didn't participate at all. Wanqing's ultimate goal is also to contribute to charity, but couldn't you make her feel more involved? She came here and found nothing, which makes her so heartbroken."

Chen Liting was genuinely feeling sorry for Ye Wanqing.

Just as Wang Yi was about to speak, Chen Yin already said with a serious tone, "So, her painting was sold for two hundred yuan, and the academy should spend an additional one hundred fifty yuan to promote her painting? I thought you would be more supportive of donating the entire two hundred yuan to the school; even a little extra effort is good."

"Sold, sold for two hundred yuan?" Ye Wanqing was so shocked she stammered.

That painting only sold for two hundred yuan?

Wang Yi said, "Yes, I think your teachers would have sought your consent before the exhibition, with the academy setting the prices."

"We agreed, but two hundred yuan—it's way too low!" Ye Wanqing wanted to cry.

Chen Liting was also somewhat surprised and couldn't help but point to Xiao Chiang's painting nearby, asking, "Then how much does this one sell for?"

Taking a glance at it, his eyes lit up.

It was a Spring Rain and Falling Flowers Painting; the entire painting had very fresh tones. Even the raindrops were painted very realistically, at first glance giving a slightly chilly spring feeling, as if you truly stood within the painting, seeing pink flower petals falling along with the raindrops.

It was originally a very simple painting, but somehow, seeing it brought out a sense of artistic conception.

This painting's falling flowers didn't feel sad; instead, they exuded a very tranquil beauty.

Even he, as a layman, fell in love with this painting.

He hadn't seen Ye Wanqing's painting, but this one, he honestly couldn't find any fault with.

Now Chen Liting was very curious, if Ye Wanqing's painting sold for two hundred yuan, then how much was this one?

Wang Yi walked over, pointed to a small card below, "It's priced here; this piece is nine thousand yuan."

"Ugh!"

Chen Liting wanted to give Ye Wanqing some face, and he felt sorry for her, but this comparison, this comparison was quite extreme!

Two hundred yuan versus nine thousand yuan!

Wang Yi added, "That's because all the money from the paintings sold is donated, to encourage everyone to actively buy paintings, the prices were set slightly lower. Originally, this painting should be priced at thirteen thousand yuan."

"Ugh!"

Chen Liting couldn't help it again.

Suddenly, he really wanted to meet this Xiao Chiang.

The talented young painter whose single painting could sell for over ten thousand—wouldn't she be very rich?

Beautiful, wealthy, talented?

He couldn't help but glance at Ye Wanqing.

Then what kind of painting did she make!

Two hundred yuan?
