Central State Art Exhibition Hall.
Curator Ling Feng stood at the entrance of the exhibition hall, glancing at the time on his phone occasionally, his expression showing uncontrollable excitement.
Because soon a total of one hundred paintings will be transported to the exhibition hall he manages, allowing him to set up the exhibition in advance!
Actually, one hundred paintings are few.
Especially for an exhibition hall.
As the top exhibition institution of Blue Star, the Central State Exhibition Hall can casually host an art exhibition, possibly arranging hundreds or even thousands of paintings.
These one hundred paintings are from Shadow!
When the majority of contemporary Blue Star artists hold exhibitions, Ling Feng wouldn’t personally greet them, let alone wait half an hour in the cold wind.
Being able to send a personal secretary for reception is already very courteous.
This is Ling Feng’s pride and confidence as the head of a top exhibition hall.
But Shadow is different!
In the contemporary painting world, only Shadow’s paintings can make Ling Feng wait half an hour in the cold wind.
Because Ling Feng, with the help of some wealthy friends, had personally admired five pieces of the Painted Soul Series at the Yu Dynasty Hotel!
Those are works that deeply shocked Ling Feng, the person in charge of the Central State Art Exhibition Hall, who has seen almost all top paintings in the world!
Ling Feng still remembers his mood that day.
At that time, Ling Feng stood in front of those few Painted Soul Series, feeling as small as a speck of dust, with the only thought in his mind being:
If only I could own these five——
Just owning one would be enough!
For this, even exchanging with several paintings collected over the years at home would be no problem!
Ling Feng can access higher levels and knows that Shadow’s Painted Soul Series is a legendary artwork that countless top Blue Star billionaires can barely obtain.
Shadow’s paintings are legendary in the billionaire circle.
In numerous casual chats, these billionaires passionately discuss their admiration and longing for Shadow’s Painted Soul Series—
These aren’t just ordinary billionaires.
Some of the top figures among them are quite powerful across continents, being influential individuals.
When Ling Feng learned that Shadow would hold an exhibition at the Central State Exhibition Hall, he was so delighted he almost passed out and agreed immediately!
Shadow will send someone to transport one hundred paintings to his exhibition hall.
How could Ling Feng, so obsessed with the Painted Soul Series, still dare to sit calmly in his office?
The question is whether among these one hundred paintings for exhibition, there will be the awe-inspiring Painted Soul Series?
This is Ling Feng’s biggest concern.
Having the Painted Soul Series and not having it are two different concepts.
And there have always been rumors in the community that even Shadow can hardly create works of the Painted Soul Series.
Of course, Ling Feng believes in such sayings, but he feels that as Shadow’s premiere exhibition, the Painted Soul Series should definitely be showcased; otherwise, it would be too regrettable. Besides, if something is merely difficult to create, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
Ling Feng’s heart became even more excited, and his body trembled slightly!
Behind Ling Feng were a group of exhibition hall’s junior leaders, regional heads, and numerous staff members.
The staff were somewhat bewildered.
Everyone knew about Shadow’s art exhibition.
Shadow’s paintings would arrive today, but why would the curator personally receive them?
Last month, when Blue Star’s top artist, ranked twelfth in the painting list, sent paintings over for an exhibition, the curator seemed to have sent only a personal secretary to receive them.
Shadow’s ranking isn’t even higher than that person’s.
Why has the curator started trembling?
It must be the weather being too cold; everyone feels quite chilly.
But since the curator is standing here, they definitely wouldn’t dare to go inside to warm up.
The sound of vehicles came from the front.
Ling Feng suddenly raised his head, along with the staff behind him, looking towards two slowly arriving cars.
The cars stopped at the entrance.
Several people stepped out from the first vehicle.
The driver of this car turned out to be Sun Yaohuo, who quickly got off as well, smiling at Ling Feng, "Sorry to keep you waiting, curator. Shall we bring the paintings in now?"
The staff almost instantly recognized Sun Yaohuo, with someone nearly exclaiming in surprise, wondering why Shadow’s paintings were brought over by Sun Yaohuo?
Even serving as a driver?
This is the major star of Yu Dynasty!
The famously renowned musical King of Singing in Blue Star!
Could it be because of Xian Yu and Shadow’s relationship? But even so, someone of Sun Yaohuo’s level shouldn’t be used as just a driver, right?
"Move the paintings!"
Ling Feng didn’t give everyone time to react, issuing a command.
The staff immediately approached the vehicle to start moving the paintings.
Sun Yaohuo hurriedly blocked the front, motioning with his hand, "The people I brought will handle moving the paintings. They’ve been securely packed in boxes, so please just show us the way."
After all, they’re unfamiliar.
Sun Yaohuo worried that these staff might not be as cautious as the people he brought along; after all, they are...
"That friend" of the junior fellows!
Ling Feng nodded at once, very amiable, "No problem!"
Others only know Sun Yaohuo as King of Singing of Yu Dynasty, a major star in Blue Star’s music scene, but Ling Feng knew Sun Yaohuo wasn’t simple.
Because he knows many top billionaires.
Through those billionaires, Ling Feng learned that Sun Yaohuo is also a top billionaire and apparently contacted Shadow through Xian Yu.
Otherwise, why would Sun Yaohuo be in charge of delivering Shadow’s paintings?
Sun Yaohuo’s people began moving the paintings.
A full hundred paintings were divided into several boxes, since paintings are too fragile and require very careful preservation, which inevitably takes some effort.
Even so, Sun Yaohuo kept reminding from the side:
"Support underneath!"
"Let that person upfront move aside!"
"These paintings are extremely valuable!"
"Please don’t drop them!"
The exhibition hall staff was speechless collectively.
Many works of top Blue Star artists have been transported into the exhibition hall, including those ranking higher than Shadow, yet none were handled as cautiously as Sun Yaohuo is now.
Even more speechless were the exhibition hall staff when Ling Feng not only didn’t find anything wrong but actually chimed in:
Why is the curator going along with Sun Yaohuo ? Isn’t Shadow just a comic artist? Are the works really so precious?
All that can be said.
Ordinary people don’t know what concept Shadow’s traditional paintings represent.
Several batches of paintings were moved inside.
Ling Feng suddenly eagerly approached Sun Yaohuo: "Is the Painted Soul Series among those paintings just now?"
Sun Yaohuo shook his head.
Ling Feng’s expression inevitably became a bit disappointed.
Sun Yaohuo didn’t mind him, instead turning back to the car to personally carry out a box.
The movement was so gentle and cautious, as if he was carrying a treasure worth a fortune.
Ling Feng stopped, stunned: "Is this..."
Sun Yaohuo seemed to know what the other wanted to ask: "That’s right."
Ling Feng, with a jolt, instantly approached, nervously reaching out his hands, acting more seriously than holding his newborn baby: "Be careful, take it easy, let’s move it in together..."
The exhibition hall staff’s eyes nearly popped out!
This is the first time they’ve seen the curator personally carry a painting in all these working years!
Is the curator a fan of Shadow’s comics?
The curator doesn’t seem to be of age to like comics; could it be that he has a youthful spirit hidden within?
