Chapter 66 True and False

Mr. Zheng regretted it as soon as he said that, because Wen Dou didn't have the confidence to win, let alone what he competed with him? And the reason why he came to meet Lin Zhimo was to find an excuse to teach him a lesson. How could he end up competing with him?

Mr. Zheng is not stupid. He can understand it after thinking about it a little. From the very beginning, Lin Zhimo should have understood his intentions, and then forced himself to the point where he had to compete with him step by step.

This time, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Mr. Zheng’s back. Lin Zhimo’s thinking was too meticulous, and he actually fell into his language trap without realizing it.

However, the words had already been spoken, and since the two of them had unknowingly increased the volume while talking, it had attracted the attention of people around them. Mr. Zheng could no longer regret it at this time.

At this moment, Huo Qigang, the owner of the banquet, appeared. He smiled faintly on his face and asked, "Zhigang, what are you playing? It's so lively?"

A simple joke made the two of them go from hostility to a joke.

Only then did Lin Zhimo realize that Mr. Zheng was named Zheng Zhigang, but he didn't know what it had to do with the Zheng family, one of the top ten chaebols in Xiangjiang.

Zheng Zhigang was relieved when he saw Huo Qigang appear, otherwise he would have really come up with some way to compete and make people laugh. He forced a smile on his face and said, "It's nothing, Brother Qigang, I had a little misunderstanding with this brother just now, and it's okay now."

You should know that it was Huo Qigang who held the banquet. No matter what identity Lin Zhimo came in, since the host of the banquet had spoken, Zheng Zhigang wanted to give the host face no matter what.

When Huo Qigang saw Zheng Zhigang's expression, he knew that the other party was still a little unfair. I think so, the eldest grandson of the Zheng family in Xiangjiang was forced to such an extent by an artist. No wonder he was angry.

Huo Qigang was wondering if he wanted Lin Zhimo to apologize to Zheng Zhigang, but when he heard Li Zekai behind him say, "Hey, Zhimo, why are you here? I said I can't find you everywhere."

A light flashed in Huo Qigang's eyes when he heard this. Zheng Zhigang was also shocked and looked at Lin Zhimo in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party could become friends with Li Zekai, and he felt a little nervous for a moment.

Lin Zhimo also discovered Li Zekai, and now two people were followed by him, a blonde and blue-eyed foreigner and a thin Chinese.

"That foreigner should be what Li Zekai said." Lin Zhimo thought to himself, but said, "I just felt a little bored, and I thought of the deck getting some breath."

Huo Qigang smiled and said, "It turns out that this gentleman is a friend brought by Uncle Li, no wonder he has some face."

Since Li Zekai is far from dating other wealthy families, he is omniscient, so he often brings some common people to various occasions, so Huo Qigang has this saying.

As for calling Li Zekai "Uncle", they were ranked from Li Jiacheng. Huo Qigang and Zheng Zhigang are both the third generation in the family, while Li Zekai is the second generation, and they are friends with their parents.

Li Zekai smiled and said, "Lin Sheng, let me introduce you to you. This is Mr. Huo Qigang and Mr. Huo, and this is Mr. Zheng Zhigang."

Lin Zhimo naturally would not be ungrateful and still had a cold face. He shook hands with the two with a smile and said, "Hello, hello, I am Lin Zhimo." When he was shaking hands with Zheng Zhi, Lin Zhimo wanted to force him to make him look ugly, but he was afraid that the other party would not be able to bear the pain and scream. Then he would be too embarrassed, so this idea was circling in his mind and then abandoned it.

Zheng Zhigang was naturally depressed, but at the same time he also put away his underestimation of Lin Zhimo. No matter what identity Lin Zhimo became friends with Li Zekai, if he wanted to move, he would need to consider Li Zekai's reaction.

Seeing that Lin Zhimo and the other two were not tensely confronting each other, Huo Qigang smiled and said, "Since you two already know me, I won't say much, but I think the competition between you two still needs to continue. Why don't you give me a question and you can compete?"

Huo Qigang's words were considered to Zheng Zhigang's face. After all, he had already said the competition in front of so many people just now. If he took it so easily, Zheng Zhigang would not feel dissatisfied with him in his heart, so he made such a proposal.

Sure enough, Zheng Zhigang's face looked much better after hearing Huo Qigang's words and said, "I have always admired Brother Qigang very much. Okay, I will follow your arrangements today. What do you think you are comparing?"

Lin Zhimo naturally agreed. Lin Zhimo was also very clear about the current situation. He knew that Huo Qigang wanted Zheng Zhigang to be more decent, not to target him. He thought the next competition method should be a harmless game.

Sure enough, Huo Qigang smiled and said, "I bought an oil painting a few days ago, but a friend of mine told me that it was a fake. The results of technical testing have not yet come out. I think you will use this oil painting as a competition to see who can find the flaws in it?"

Zheng Zhigang has loved art very much since he was a child and has some collections of artworks. Therefore, he heard this and said, "Okay, let's compare this. I want to see what kind of fakes Brother Qigang will be beaten by."

Lin Zhimo's opinion was no longer important at this time, so he could only follow everyone into an exhibition room inside the yacht.

When he came to an oil painting about half a meter long and forty centimeters high, Huo Qigang said, "It's this painting. I thought it was a landscape painting by the famous French painter Miller, but after my friend said it was a fake, the more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong... But whether it was analyzed from the style, brush, canvas or paint, this is undoubtedly an authentic painting, so now let's see if you two can find his flaws."

Li Zekai smiled and said, "Qigang, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for them? You haven't found it for so long, how could they find it all at once?"

Huo Qigang spread his hands and said, "My friend saw it in less than five minutes. He told me with a firm statement that this was definitely a fake, because there was a very obvious flaw in the painting. I was also unwilling to look for it for a long time but couldn't find it, so I had to do the UV loss test. Now I'm waiting for the results to come out to judge the period of this painting."

Li Zekai also became a little interested when he heard this and said with a smile: "Then I have to join in the fun and look for it."

This painting is a night view, with the deep blue sky dotted with starlight, and below is a residential house from the 19th century. At the bottom of the picture is a quiet river. There are a few vague figures washing clothes by the river, and a few yellow wild flowers blooming beside them.

The whole painting gives people a sense of tranquility and comfort, making people feel as if they are in the French countryside of the 19th century, leisurely and peaceful.

Zheng Zhigang frowned and observed carefully for a long time. Finally, he took out a magnifying glass and looked closer. However, he still found no flaws and said with a smile: "Brother Qi Gang, you didn't make up a story for us on purpose, why didn't I find the "obvious" flaws that your friend said?"

While speaking, the word "obvious" was amplified, and the meaning was very clear. Your friend wouldn't pretend to understand.

"In my opinion, this is Miller's work!" Zheng Zhigang said while patting his chest.

Huo Qigang spread his hands and said, "I didn't lie to you, my friend..." Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang and made an apologetic gesture to everyone. Huo Qigang walked aside to answer the phone.

Zheng Zhigang looked at Lin Zhimo who was still thinking carefully and said, "Lin Zhimo, how about it, have you found anything?"

Lin Zhimo ignored Zheng Zhigang's words, but looked at the painting in a daze and felt the same as Huo Qigang. Lin Zhimo was a little awkward when he first looked at the painting, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Zheng Zhigang looked at Lin Zhimo's frowning and thinking and curled his lips secretly. In his opinion, these artists didn't know how to distinguish artworks, they were just pretending.

Seeing that Li Zekai had no idea about his side, he leaned close to Lin Zhimo and sneered in a low voice: "Boy, don't pretend here, you probably don't know who Miller is?"

Seeing Lin Zhimo still staring at the painting without paying attention to him, Zheng Zhigang's face turned a little blue, and he said sarcastically without hesitation: "Don't think that it's too great to be a little star. You will always be just a toad that looks at the sky, and we are eagles flying in the sky. You will never understand our world in your life!"

When Lin Zhimo heard Zheng Zhigang say the word "Sky", a sudden light flashed in his mind, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, saying, "Yes, I am the frog that is watching the sky in a well... But, unfortunately, this frog can see the flaws in this painting!"

Zheng Zhigang widened his eyes.

At this moment, Huo Qigang walked over with a wry smile on his face and said, "The test results have come out. This painting is a work from the mid-century. I think if Miller had not lived to be over one hundred years old, this painting would undoubtedly be a complete fake, just like my friend said."

The color on Zheng Zhigang's face changed like a revolving lantern, from white to red, from red to blue, from blue to purple...

He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know how to speak. After all, he just suspected Huo Qigang's friend's judgment, and patted his chest and promised that it was a genuine one. The test result immediately showed that he was wrong, and the other person was right.

Zheng Zhigang was feeling embarrassed and wishing that there was a crack on the ground to let him crawl in. When he saw Lin Zhimo, who was smiling, and said loudly: "Lin Zhimo, didn't you just say that you also found a flaw? Why don't you tell us all to listen!"

Zheng Zhigang didn't believe that Lin Zhimo really found the flaws in the painting, but thought that Lin Zhimo said this deliberately for his pitiful self-esteem.

"And I just want to expose your true face!" Zheng Zhigang thought proudly.
