Urban God-level Youth

Chapter 373: Chapter 375: The Chamber of Commerce Invitation

Qin Hao, not knowledgeable in this area, responded after hearing her words, “Then I must be an all-around master.”

Fan Ruobing eyed him skeptically, since the profundity of ink painting is boundless. Some can capture the essence of landscape painting, yet fail to bring to life an animal’s spirit.

Some people specialize in one genre and can become masters.

Others bite off more than they can chew, achieving nothing.

Qin Hao pushed two tables together, ensuring a flat surface by placing a drawing board on top, and took out a larger piece of drawing paper.

He picked up a brush and began to paint. He planned to paint a dragon.

Fan Ruobing watched from the side, and after roughly half an hour, Qin Hao finished his painting—a five-clawed dragon soaring through the heavens.

The scales of the dragon displayed a strong sense of layering, especially the finishing stroke of the eyes, which gave the dragon a sense of coming alive.

Fan Ruobing looked at him in slight disbelief, “You can even paint animals this well?”

What surprised her most was Qin Hao’s speed of painting. Such a dragon would take at least several hours for others to paint.

Yet he took just over half an hour and still outperformed other masters who painted animals.

Qin Hao said with a smile, “The dragon is a symbol of good fortune, the totem of Xuan Country. Surely someone will want it.”@@novelbin@@

Fan Ruobing replied, “As long as it’s well-painted, even a turtle will find buyers. Can you paint folk life paintings?”

Qin Hao asked, “What kind of landscape paintings?”

Fan Ruobing explained, “Like Phoenix Ancient Town, the tourist spots you’ve visited, similar to the Qingming River Painting.”

Qin Hao said, “I’ve been to Jiangli Ancient Town in Shuinan Province. I could try to paint it.”

Fan Ruobing spoke up, “That would be great. If you can paint something at the level of the Qingming River Painting, it will definitely be valuable.”

Qin Hao was well aware of the Qingming River Painting, one of the ten renowned heirloom paintings of Xuan Country, a national treasure housed in the Ancient Palace Museum, priceless and unattainable for any sum.

An idea suddenly flashed through Qin Hao’s mind, “How about using our school as practice today first?”

Fan Ruobing nodded slightly, “I’ll get you some brushes.”

Once she was ready, Qin Hao held her hand and slowly began to paint; starting with the main gate of Jianghai University Main Campus.

Then came the long road, trees and grass lush on both sides, flowers blooming extravagantly.

As Qin Hao painted, recollecting his walks through Jianghai University, he said, “What if I paint an oil painting and auction it off abroad, how about that?”

“Your skills in oil painting are that impressive too?” Fan Ruobing asked.

Qin Hao affirmed, “Hmm, didn’t you say oil paintings are quite valuable abroad? Paint lots, and go make some money off the foreigners.”

Fan Ruobing remarked, “I’m beginning to see you’re quite mischievous.”

Qin Hao gave an awkward smile, unsure which aspect she was referring to in her comment—making money off foreigners or something else?

Fan Ruobing suggested, “If you’re feeling uncomfortable, go solve it in the small studio over there.” With that, she headed towards it.

Qin Hao paused for a second, hesitated for a few more, but then followed her in.

…

More than twenty minutes later.

When she returned, her face showed no particular reaction. She said to Qin Hao, “Continue painting.”

Qin Hao painted for almost an hour before finishing, and a vividly lifelike folk-life painting came into view.

Teaching buildings, laboratories, offices, dormitories, sports fields, as well as students walking along the roads, each with distinctive postures and expressions.

At that moment, Qin Hao’s phone suddenly rang—it was a call from Feng Xiangyi.

Feng Xiangyi: “Mr. Qin, the Shuinan Chamber of Commerce just sent an invitation. There’s a banquet tonight at eight at the Innsil Hotel, and they’ve invited you to attend.”
