Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 380. Suspicion, full of doubts

The secretary, who claimed to be Luna, widened her beautiful phoenix eyes in disbelief, never expecting such a move.

Of course, agreeing to any of it was out of the question.

After all, in these times, finding a job with high pay, good benefits, that isn’t exhausting or dirty, and without any potential hidden rules is not easy. She had absolutely no intention of changing jobs for now. Truly introducing this Feng Ju to her boss and ruining the old man’s plans meant she’d be out the door in no time.

After exhausting her brain and smiling until her face was stiff, she finally managed to leave with the painting smoothly.

However, as soon as she stepped out, Feng Ju dropped his money-hungry, shameless expression and furrowed his brow with grave seriousness, "The night owl enters the house, this really doesn’t come without a reason!"

Ignoring the works of the esteemed Mr. Wu Tong, people are solely focused on the works of the young emerging painter Lian En.

To say there’s nothing fishy going on here, who would believe that!

Without some special reason or justification, who would ignore gold ingots and insist on going for Copper Coin with all their might??

The few people were utterly confused, racking their brains but unable to figure out what kind of deity this You Hui was and what exactly he was after.

Instead, the two consecutive high-priced buyouts sparked widespread media coverage, transforming from universal praise to clouds of suspicion in just a few days.

Everyone was curious about the true identity of this mysterious You Hui.

Was he genuinely so appreciative of Lian En’s work that he made such generous purchases and diligently collected them?

Or, as rumors suggested, was there an unspeakable close relationship between the two, prompting such lavish spending to ensure the art exhibition’s success?

"Damn it, this is outright slander, sheer fabrication! Our Lian En is talented, has potential, and surpassing predecessors in time is only a matter of time. No need to spend money and hire stooges to create such a clumsy setup to boost himself?

Writing nonsense without any basis, do they believe I won’t drag each one of them to court!" Lianshan was furious, like a raging lion, tearing up the tabloid in his hand: "Don’t let me find out who this damned You Hui is, or I’ll definitely confront him properly.

What kind of grudge exists?! Using the guise of admiration to harm people?!

Son, be honest, during your four years in college, you focused solely on studying and didn’t fool around with any heiress from a wealthy family, right?"

Lian En turned dark, "Dad, no matter how anxious or angry you get, you can’t just question your son’s character. I promised not to talk about relationships before graduating college, and no matter if it’s a rich girl or a modest one, I haven’t said even a single extra punctuation mark to anyone!"

"Exactly, what kind of father does that? It’s simply too much, huh, having suspicions without dealing with the actual problem.

Our Lian En is pure!

Aside from a few guys from his class, Jiandang, Jianguo, Lian Jie, Ning An, and Jiajia, he hardly interacts closely with anyone.

At one point, I was secretly worried that he might delay life’s important matters due to focusing on studies, painting, and family." Feng Ju snorted, sending icy imaginary daggers to Lianshan. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Then, son, do you have any particularly balanced classmates or rivals with strong family backgrounds and jealousy stronger than usual?" Shuzhen pondered for a bit before asking.

It’s not that the couple has malicious thoughts, focusing only on the negative outcomes.

But given the situation now, with more and more negative news, this You Hui seems to have slightly malicious intentions.

Even though tales of a young white affluent woman seeking revenge or a rich handsome competitor playing dirty tricks seem outrageously melodramatic, reminiscent of the cheesy dramas that might be popular twenty or thirty years from now.

But often, art, after all, derives from life yet transcends it, doesn’t it?

Just like her supernatural abilities, it seemed far-fetched and ludicrous while reading novels, until she actually possessed such power and experienced rebirth to know that this vast world indeed holds extraordinary wonders.

After thoroughly recalling, Lian En resolutely told her, "No, Mom. I always commuted and didn’t have particularly deep interactions with my classmates. In terms of interpersonal relationships, they weren’t particularly close. Mostly cordial, gentlemanly interactions akin to water.

Among those I know, there’s no one particularly narrow-minded but talented, with overseas connections, and significant wealth."

The feeling of knowing someone might be against you yet having no proof and having to constantly be on guard was truly frustrating.

The only clue, the glamorous secretary known as Luna who might be privy to some inside information, had returned to Hong Kong indefinitely.

Having suffered no harm and instead profiting handsomely, even reporting to the police might lead to being suspected of having mental issues, such as paranoia, left them no choice but to hurriedly retreat home.

Just focused on preparing for the final art exhibition, hoping to reveal the fox’s tail in their own territory.

But no matter how well-prepared they were, they couldn’t prevent the existence of a term like agent buyer.

All 160 paintings sold out at the final art exhibition, leading major mainstream TV stations and newspapers to compete in reporting the ugly truth of Lian En, the rising painter, allegedly indulging in self-promotion and hiring stooges to buy all his exhibited works.

A clear picture showed that self-proclaimed Luna smilingly taking the paintings with one hand while paying with the other.

Indeed, with picture evidence it seemed irrefutable!

In the three-part exhibition, whatever paintings remained were all purchased.

Over 200 paintings, a total of more than 4 million spent. To claim it wasn’t collusion or manipulation would be unbelievable, wouldn’t it?

Under the influence of public opinion, barely half a month ago lauded representative of the new generation of painters, Lian En, quickly turned into a morally corrupt, fame-seeking fraud.

Some previous buyers of his paintings even called to ask if they could return or get a discount.

After all, purchasing paintings was about appreciating the artist’s skill and seeing value in the collection.

Now, with the situation as it is, depreciation was inevitable. They attempted to see if they could minimize their losses.

Lianshan and Feng Ju were furious and unanimously decided to hire a lawyer, intending to drag all those daring to slander and insult their son/disciple to court.

Beijing was ready to act as well, even if it meant bending the rules, they couldn’t let Lian En’s promising future be destroyed by rumors.

However, before they began their actions, a video from You Hui played across major TV stations, fully explaining the original motivations and reasons for buying the paintings at the exhibition.

Completely rescuing Lian En from the mire of self-promotion and fame-seeking, yet, in another way, pushing him back to the center of public attention.
