Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 164 - 164 164 God Lus Strategies Run Deep

?Chapter 164: Chapter 164: God Lu’s Strategies Run Deep Chapter 164: Chapter 164: God Lu’s Strategies Run Deep Wei Yao really wanted to visit the Art and Calligraphy Academy, and meeting the big shots in the calligraphy and painting circles would make it even more complete.

Thus, he really hoped that Lu Xun would succeed.

“The painting is all yours now, Mr. Lu.”

Lu Xun responded with a smile, “My calligraphy is decent, but my painting is somewhat inferior.”

Then his gaze fell on Luo Ning, “We have an expert painter right here; you guys should let her join in.”

Everyone was momentarily stunned and followed his gaze to Luo Ning.

Vice Dean Qin asked with a surprised smile, “Is the young lady Young Friend Lu is referring to?”

Lu Xun nodded, “Exactly.”

He looked at Luo Ning with a smile in his eyes, “Teacher Luo, I need your help to relieve some of my pressure.”

Vice Dean Qin also made a welcoming gesture, “Hearing what Young Friend Lu said, I’m curious about the lady’s painting too. Please, give it a try.”

He added meaningfully, “A year ago, Young Friend Lu had entered the gates of the Art and Calligraphy Academy, and I am eager to meet a young person whose painting skills surpass his.”

His words were not intended as mockery but as a genuine wish to see for himself.

Knowing Lu Xun’s character, he would not speak recklessly in public.

Upon hearing this, everyone was again surprised, meaning that Lu Xun had previously entered the gates of the Calligraphy College through his own calligraphy and painting skills.

Being able to enter meant he was already highly skilled in this field.

It was unexpected that Lu, a renowned actor, also had such talent.

What was even more unexpected was his promotion of Luo Ning; Could her painting skills actually be superior?

Could that really be possible?

Luo Ning was initially just watching Lu Xun go out, thinking she would just coast through passively.

But Lu Xun ended up highly praising her.

The key point was, how did he know she was good at painting?

Wei Yao was also surprised and said with a smile, “So, little Ningning is a painting expert. Come on, show us your skills.”

He was very curious about what the painting and calligraphy of Lu Xun and Luo Ning would look like.

Upon hearing the invitation from the three, she had no choice but to step forward and say with a smile, “Well, I’ll give it a shot.”

Luo Ning walked up and chose a wooden table close to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun turned his head and whispered to her what characters he was going to write.

Luo Ning thought for a moment and suggested that he write first, and then she would paint on the same paper, fitting the occasion.

Lu Xun chuckled, “That’s exactly what I had in mind; Teacher Luo really understands me.”

[Ahhh, I didn’t see that dog food coming.]

[Damn, God Lu’s schemes run deep, I’m totally outplayed!]

[God Lu’s doting gaze can’t be hidden anymore; it’s definitely intentional.]

[Tsk tsk, only Teacher Luo gets me, when God Lu starts scheming, I’m totally outmatched.]

[Mom, I’m shipping this CP, it might actually become real; it’s too sweet.]

[God Lu deserves to be called God Lu, I’ve eaten this dog food.]

The CP fans went crazy with excitement, shipping more fervently than ever as God Lu was truly impressive.

The haters couldn’t help but jump out at this point.

[Who’d have thought God Lu could be blinded by desire too; if Luo Ning paints poorly, it’ll be his reputation on the line.]

[I’ve never heard of Luo Ning painting before; is this going to be an embarrassment to National Treasure Mountain?]

[The key point is she actually dared to go, who gave her the courage?]

[God Lu gave it to her, of course, but if she paints poorly, God Lu can cover for her.]

“I can’t believe God Lu actually plotted in public just to boost a female celebrity.”

“How could God Lu have no standards anymore—so disappointed.”

“Is this still my God Lu? What kind of aphrodisiac did Luo Ning give you?”

“Exactly, Luo Ning gaining entry to the National Essence Painting and Calligraphy Academy with her painting skills—that’s the funniest joke I’ve heard this year.”

Blacks started complaining too, incessantly ridiculing, and Lu Xun was dragged into the insults as well.

Lu’s fans and Ning Fans naturally wouldn’t stand for it.

“I believe in God Lu’s eye for talent, if he says Luo Ning can do it, then she can.”

“Although I feel Luo Ning may not have the painting skills, I trust God Lu even more.”

“How can you know my Ningbao can’t paint?”

“Exactly, just because my Ningbao hasn’t painted before doesn’t mean she can’t.”

The comments became a melee on the livestream, but when Lu Xun started writing, everyone momentarily stopped, waiting to see who would end up being the joke.

Lu Xun quickly wrote a poem about peonies.

Wei Yao had been watching from the side, and after Lu Xun finished, he couldn’t help but applaud and praise, “Great writing!”

Previously, when Master Qin said his writing had its own style, he had been rather pleased with himself.

But now, seeing Lu Xun’s writing, he realized what true style was.

Vice Dean Qin also nodded and smiled, “Indeed a great piece, compared to a year ago, Young Friend Lu’s writing has even more style.”

“This writing is powerful and sharp, it could definitely be displayed at our Art and Calligraphy Academy.”

He suggested, “Miss Luo, why don’t you paint a piece by yourself?”

If Luo Ning’s painting was inferior, it would ruin the good impressions of the writing.

It wasn’t that he was biased or prejudiced, he just really liked the piece of writing.

Before Luo Ning could speak, Lu Xun said, “No need, I believe in Teacher Luo’s painting, it will make my writing look even better.”

Vice Dean Qin was taken aback, then smilingly said, “Then I look forward to it, Miss Luo, please start!”

He was not one for roundabout ways, so his anticipation was genuine.

Blacks started stirring trouble in the comments again, implying that Luo Ning was about to embarrass herself and they needed to get ready to celebrate.

Some even said God Lu must have a grudge against Luo Ning, deliberately setting her up for humiliation—if her painting was bad, it would be utterly embarrassing.

Regardless of whether those present or the viewers believed, Luo Ning approached confidently, a radiance of self-assuredness surrounding her as she began to paint.

She didn’t look up once during the process and her brush strokes were quick.

Everyone, brimming with immense curiosity, crowded around to watch.

Then, as they watched, surprise started showing in their eyes, causing the viewers in front of the screen to itch with anticipation, urging the livestream camera to follow quickly.

The director teased for a while before allowing the livestream camera to catch up.

“Wow, although it’s only half done, even a layperson like me can tell—it’s really good.”

“The flow of the brush, you can tell it’s professional right away.”

“The painting matches God Lu’s poetry more and more, I can actually see the deeper meaning in the painting now.”

“Luo Ning’s painting skills are quite impressive.”

“From a professional standpoint, Luo Ning’s painting is truly well done, I can’t find any faults.”

“It’s almost done, the deeper meaning of both the painting and the poetry has emerged.”

“You write poetry and I paint, suddenly it feels like I’m being fed dog food.”

“It seems not only does Teacher Luo understand Mr. Lu, but Mr. Lu also understands Teacher Luo very well!”

“So the final conclusion is, no one can outclass God Lu when it comes to plotting.”

Soon, Luo Ning finished the last stroke and placed the brush on the table.

Vice Dean Qin, who had been watching all along, now had a face full of amazement and couldn’t help but exclaim, “What a wonderful painting!”
