"In the past, perhaps, but not anymore," Qiao Boyue suppressed her jealousy and began to formulate a plan. "Master, on the day of the competition, there will be representatives from Hua City and even Chairman Qin himself. Do you think that this painting will be able to get you into the National Art Association?"
Chen Yusheng was momentarily taken aback, but he quickly understood Qiao Boyue's intention. She wanted him to claim the painting as his own. He remained silent, neither agreeing nor objecting.
"Just as you said earlier, it's impossible for a university student to paint this. As the Vice Chairman of the Jingcheng Art Association, people would trust you more than they would trust a university student," Qiao Boyue continued. "The Arts Festival will be live-streamed nationwide. If you publicly accuse the person of plagiarizing your work on the spot, you will be in the limelight with increased popularity. Perhaps, you might even gain Chairman Qin's favor with this painting."
