Meng Xinzhi wore a formal suit.

It is a very youthful mamba green.

This too bright color is very picky on the wearer's skin.

If you are not careful, you will look rustic.

Meng Xin's graceful figure and milk-like skin made her look like a formal dress.

Especially the temperament in her gestures.

If, just what if.

If Meng Xinzhi had not come to nail him to the shame pillar of plagiarism, Nie Guangyi would definitely have the urge to propose directly.

They say there is a thin line between genius and madness.

At this moment, Nie Guangyi was convinced of this statement.

In this world, except for a lunatic like him, who else would think of proposing to someone who has no interest in him at the scene where he is ruined?

Nie Guangyi expressed surprise at the thoughts that flashed into his mind.

At the same time, he also expressed surprise at Meng Xinzhi's Italian proficiency.

Who didn’t speak Italian before?

Forget it, what's the point of figuring out such trivial things?

Meng Xin spoke authentic Italian, but Fedek had found an Italian translator who was proficient in both Chinese and English in advance and was immediately unemployed on stage.

As the presentation was updated, the aurora meaning of Mengxinzhi's "design" was displayed at the press conference scene by scene, from blur to clarity.

There was a gap of four months between the first and second paintings.

To put it bluntly, in the past four months, Meng Xinzhi's painting style has indeed changed the most.

From Impressionism, return to the most essential realism of the Renaissance.

Although the first picture is called a painting, it is actually just some color blocks, which is more impressionistic than impressionistic.

When it comes to the second painting, if you look back a little, you can understand that what Meng Xinzhi wants to paint is the aurora, but he is still very unskilled in painting skills.

A history of evolution alone is not enough to nail Nie Guangyi to the pillar of shame.

If Meng Xinzhi's "design" has never been exhibited to the outside world.

If Nie Guangyi never had the opportunity to come into contact with Meng Xinzhi’s “works”.

Then there is a very small possibility that it is just a coincidence.

Nie Guangyi will be questioned, but he will not be directly beaten to death.

From ancient times to the present, many people have been questioned.

Any genius will inevitably face the fate of being questioned.

Even Leonardo da Vinci, a genius widely recognized around the world, could not escape this fate.

Among the voices questioning Leonardo da Vinci, the first one came from the Englishman Gavin Menzies.

Gavin Menzies once attracted much attention for arguing that the Chinese discovered the American continent 70 years before Columbus.

He published a book, translated as "1434: A Huge Chinese Fleet Arrives in Italy and Sparks the Renaissance."

Gavin Menzies argued in this book that the fleet of Chinese envoys arrived in Florence in 1434 and handed over world maps, celestial maps, and many classics describing ancient Chinese technology that did not exist in the Western world at that time.

It was not until Eugene IV that the Renaissance began.

The reason why Leonardo da Vinci was able to draw so many complex engineering drawings, mechanical drawings and celestial bodies was because of his exposure to these classics.

Gavin Menzies doesn't think Leonardo da Vinci was a design genius.

He believed that Leonardo da Vinci's only contribution was to re-draw the mechanical design drawings in ancient Chinese science and technology classics in a three-dimensional way.

What gears, mills, waterwheels, even weapons...

Just look at the various versions of "Nongshu" in ancient China and you can easily find a simple version of the prototype.

The simplicity here does not refer to the craftsmanship, but only the difference in painting techniques.

The ancient Chinese were not like Leonardo da Vinci, who had a pair of "stereoscopic" eyes and could draw three-dimensional figures in their notes.

…

The press conference soon came to the most critical moment.

After Meng Xinzhi introduced his entire set of "paintings", he began to tell what happened in the four months between the first painting and the second painting.

"Two months after I painted my first painting, my father and I came to Europe for the first time and went to the Louvre." Meng Xinzhi introduced in fluent Italian:

"That year, I was eight years old."

"At the Louvre, I threw away my first painting."

"This painting was picked up by Mr. Nie Guangyi, who was also in the Louvre at the time, and was kept until a year ago until it was returned to its original owner."

Meng Xinzhi pointed at Nie Guangyi.

The press conference was ready and there was an uproar.

Many people have concluded that Nie Guangyi plagiarized, and there are many reports saying that Nie Guangyi plagiarized the master of Chinese folk architecture. This master is Zongji.

But it is unimaginable that Nie Guangyi plagiarized the work of an eight-year-old girl.

This kind of understanding directly refreshed the outlook of everyone present.

This is no longer a matter of being a genius, it is simply a matter of being shameless.

Those architects who once regarded Nie Guangyi as their idol were filled with righteous indignation.

Following Meng Xinzhi's gesture, many people looked at Nie Guangyi.

They hoped to find an expression of shame on Nie Guangyi's face.

Nie Guangyi did not follow the wishes of these people. The expression on his face was expressionless.

A voice emerged in Nie Guangyi's heart, "Let the destruction come more violently! This will completely crush my architectural dream."

Who stipulates that people must have dreams?

Change a country, change an identity.

Live your retirement life early with the trust left by your mother.

Isn’t it beautiful?

The press conference is still going on, and Meng Xinzhi's speech on the stage is also going on.

Nie Guangyi thought that from this second onwards, he would seal off his five senses and not be able to hear anything.

However, every word passed through his eardrums clearly and imprinted into his mind.

So clear, so nice, so... every word is heartbreaking:

"When I learned that the first lost painting had been kept in Mr. Nie Guangyi's study, I was shocked."

"Mr. Nie Guangyi and I also discussed whether he could see anything from this painting."

"To be honest, even I didn't see anything."

"Then Mr. Nie Guangyi admitted immediately."

"He thought he could tell."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Nie Guangyi would come to the scene today." Meng Xinzhi once again directed everyone's attention to Nie Guangyi: "Since Mr. Nie Guangyi is here, I want to ask him again in person. That's it.

Yes, right?"

Nie Guangyi raised his hands that were no longer suffering from muscle problems, raised the corners of his mouth in what he thought was the most elegant way, and gave Meng Xinzhi a thumbs up with both hands.

Doesn’t it mean that liking someone is guiltless?

Even if he is guilty, it is not to the extent that he needs to be stripped naked in front of so many people and paraded through the streets.

Perhaps, this is what true destruction should look like.

People are not afraid of not having dreams, but they are afraid of having unrealistic fantasies throughout their lives.

Nie Guangyi's smile was as beautiful as ever.

He looked relaxed and bright, waiting for his own trial.

Meng Xinzhi’s speech on stage continued:

"After hearing Mr. Nie Guangyi's personal admission, I can see the meaning of the aurora in the first painting."

"In my opinion, it is an incredible thing."

"Because, even I can only start to see the prototype from the second painting."

"Personally, I haven't paid much attention to this matter until Mr. Nie Guangyi's plagiarism incident started to be hotly discussed."

"I just started looking for the truth."
To be continued...
