Chapter 321: Painting Competition

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Luo went over to meet all the volunteers today.

Yu Tong and the other girls had already put on cheongsams and looked very elegant. The boys who were receiving the guests in the hall had also put on ancient-style matching Tang suit.

Everyone surrounded the glamorous Nangong Yi and flattered him with all their might.

Other than these people, all the other members of the Student Union were also here.

When everyone saw Chu Luo come over, they subconsciously fell silent.

Wang Mingtao, who was standing in the crowd, walked up to Chu Luo. As he gave her a look, he said, “Sister Chu, everyone is here. Even the ministers of the Student Union are here.”

Chu Luo glanced at the ministers of the Student Union coldly and said to the others, “Everyone, follow the schedule I sent you.”

Everyone who received the message nodded.

At this moment, Roundy quickly walked over.

“Mistress, I’m here.”

Chu Luo said to them, “Everyone, take out your phones and connect to Bluetooth. If anything happens that you can’t resolve later, just press 1 and look for me.”

She then gestured to Roundy. “Connect everyone’s phones.”

“Connection complete.”

After everyone confirmed it, Yu Tong walked over and asked Chu Luo with a smile, “Chu Luo, where’s your cheongsam? We’re all wearing it. Why aren’t you wearing it?”

Everyone looked at her expectantly, obviously wanting to see her in a cheongsam.

Chu Luo only glanced at them and finally turned to the cadres of the Student Union. She asked straightforwardly, “Are you here to watch a joke?”

The group of Student Union cadres: “…”

Chu Luo continued, “If you’re here to watch a joke, you’re not welcome here. If you’re here to help, you have to listen to me today.”

The group of Student Union cadres: “…”

How aggrieved!

Yu Tong quickly gave them a look.

After a few seconds, Zhang Yiran walked up to Chu Luo and quickly said, “Chu Luo, what do you need me to do today? Just tell me. I promise that other than you, we won’t obey anyone else, not even the President.”

Nangong Yi glanced at Zhang Yiran.

Zhang Yiran pretended not to see his gaze and continued to suck up. “I thought about it. How can my matters compare to such a major matter? I shouldn’t be focusing on my own matters at a time like this.”

Chu Luo glanced at her lightly and nodded. “Alright, then stand by the door of the hall and receive the guests.”

Zhang Yiran: “…”

“You’re not willing?”

“No… I’m honored.”

Zhang Yiran retreated in frustration. She had never expected to be reduced to standing by the door as a receptionist.

Yu Tong, who was standing beside Chu Luo, laughed secretly in her heart.

After the first person stepped forward, the other ministers came over one after another to ask Chu Luo to arrange missions for them.

Chu Luo really made arrangements for them. They were all stifled.

After all the missions were arranged, Chu Luo said to Nangong Yi, who had been standing by and watching, “Nangong Yi, you will arrange the reception at the venue.”

Nangong Yi nodded at her and left with a group of people.

Chu Luo said to Wang Mingtao, “Taozi, bring your men to the door to receive them. Keep in touch at all times.”

“Okay, Sister Chu.”

Wang Mingtao had never expected that he would one day command a group of members and cadres from the Student Union. He felt like he was about to go to heaven.

He waved his hand and said heroically, “Brothers and sisters, let’s go.”

Chu Luo couldn’t help but smile as she watched them leave.

Only then did she go to the Student Union female toilet to change her clothes. Then, she brought Roundy to the school’s heads’ room.

At 7: 50, Chu Luo received a call from Wang Mingtao. Wang Mingtao said excitedly to her on the phone, “Sister Chu, Sister Chu, there are seven to eight cars belonging to the members of the Painter Association by the door. I heard from a classmate that even the president of the Painter Association is here.”

Chu Luo listened to his excited loud voice and said to him, “Let them drive their cars straight to the third hall.”

Wang Mingtao: “Okay, okay.”

Chu Luo hung up the phone and walked towards the third hall with a few school heads from the School of Arts who were in charge of this competition.

When they arrived, the heads first talked to the teachers from the other schools.

Soon, the cars from the Painter Association drove over.

Everyone welcomed them. After He Zhiqian and the others alighted, everyone shook hands and greeted them enthusiastically.

“I didn’t expect President He to come personally today. When the participants see you, they will definitely be very happy.”

However, He Zhiqian glanced at Chu Luo and said with a straight face, “Chu Luo from your school is really capable to have gathered so many of us here.”

The school’s head heard the trace of displeasure in He Zhiqian’s tone and smiled awkwardly. Then, he looked at Chu Luo and asked her with his eyes.

Chu Luo looked back at him with those innocent eyes and then at He Zhiqian. “I thought that President He attached great importance to the strength of the new generation and wanted to see how much potential the students have?”

He Zhiqian glared at Chu Luo without hiding anything and said, “That’s right. That day, when Chu Luo came to invite me, she showed off a little in front of me. She really surprised me. Chu Luo should have participated in this competition. I came specially to see if you can get first place.”

Everyone: “…”

Everyone knew that the president of the Painter Association was a straightforward person, but they didn’t expect him to be so straightforward. Moreover… Chu Luo knew how to draw? She even showed off a little in front of him, shocking him?

It couldn’t be real, right?

Did Chu Luo offend him when she invited him?

Everyone felt that Chu Luo had offended He Zhiqian. Otherwise, He Zhiqian wouldn’t have said such words that made Chu Luo offend all the participants.

A few school heads looked at Chu Luo, wanting to help her smooth things over.

Chu Luo shrugged indifferently. “Sorry to disappoint you. I didn’t register and can’t participate in the competition.”

“What’s wrong with not registering? As the president of the Painter Association, don’t I have the right to let you register on the spot?”

After He Zhiqian finished speaking, he asked the other members of the Painting Association, “Do you agree to Chu Luo registering on the spot?”

The few members of the Painter Association nodded at the same time. “Agreed.”

Everyone: “…”

How exactly did Chu Luo offend the president of the Painting Association? How did she end up being put in such a difficult position?

At this moment, Chu Luo moved the Bluetooth on her ear and said, “It’s almost time. Everyone, go in first.”

Only then did the school heads snap back to reality and invite everyone to walk towards the hall.

In the auditorium, the contestants and reporters were already in position.

When everyone saw who walked in, they were all shocked.

“Imperial University actually invited the president of the Painting Association and so many masters from the painting world this time! They’re amazing!”

“Hasn’t the president of the Painter Association always disliked judging in all kinds of competitions? Who is so capable to actually invite him?”

“I always thought that Imperial University would at most invite two or three masters from the painting world. I didn’t expect them to invite seven or eight at once. That’s impressive.”

“The girl walking beside them is Chu Luo, right? This girl is so elegant and beautiful. She looks like a fairy who walked out of a painting.”

“Hurry up and take pictures of the masters, and also Chu Luo. The competition organized by Imperial University this time looks very classy.”

Chu Luo brought the group to the front and sat down. The people from the Education Bureau had already arrived. Everyone greeted them.

Chu Luo looked at the time and gritted her teeth. “Begin.” Then, she retreated to Roundy’s side.

Just as everyone was whispering, the lights in the hall suddenly went out.

“What’s going on?”

“Why did the lights suddenly go out?”

Then, the ceiling above the auditorium separated to the sides and bright light instantly shone in.

The entire display in front of her displayed the life and representations of the painters of the various eras of the empire.

Someone exclaimed, “Heavens! Imperial University is actually so well-prepared. I didn’t know that the empire had so many artists.”

“You have to know a lot about the history of the empire to be able to do that.”

He Zhiqian, who was sitting there, asked a school head beside him, “Who found this information?”

“It’s Chu Luo,” the leader said with a smile. “Chu Luo said that this is more ceremonial. It can also let the participants know that our empire’s paintings have a long history and that there are outstanding painters in every generation. So as to inspire the new generation to be more vigilant and focus on cultivating their art.”

“Quite a creative idea.”

…

At 8: 40 am, the host invited an important figure on stage to speak.

“We invite the president of the Painting Association to speak on stage.”

Amid the applause, He Zhiqian stood up and walked over to look at the people in the venue. After saying a few encouraging words, he suddenly asked, “Has Chu Luo signed up?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The participants resting backstage were so shocked that they all ran to the exit to peek. Then, they couldn’t help but complain softly.

“Did I hear wrongly? The president of the Painting Association asked if Chu Luo had registered?”

“Register for what? Is Chu Luo going to compete with us?”

“Are you kidding me? Can Chu Luo draw?”

“Didn’t they say that the president of the Painter Association is a little strange? Could it be that he’s deliberately making things difficult for Chu Luo?”

“Then Chu Luo is too unlucky.”

“Maybe Imperial University wants to be famous and deliberately pushed Chu Luo out. When the time comes, no one will say anything if Chu Luo doesn’t draw well.”

“I didn’t expect Imperial University to do such marketing. Don’t they feel embarrassed?”

…

Not only were the participants backstage discussing, but even the teachers from other schools present were discussing.

The school’s heads couldn’t hold their smiles anymore.

At this moment, Chu Luo stood up and said calmly, “I’ve signed up.”
