Because the curator knew Fen Ximin, he opened the door for Manman first. Thus, she and her husband went to view the art exhibit ahead of others.
The curator accompanied them as they strolled through the gallery. He had met Wen Yuan before, but didn't know the relationship between Manman and Wen Yuan, so he commented, "This university student's paintings are quite good. You can see there's a certain level of skill."
Jiang Yan glanced at his wife's expression. She remained composed, so he questioned the curator further, "Based on that, anyone who views this exhibit can easily tell which female artist stands out more, right?"
"In theory, it's quite easy to distinguish. However, I remember Teacher Zhuang mentioning that some experts will be invited to review the works. The perspective of experts often differs somewhat from that of laypeople. There are things that laypeople won't notice, but insiders can discern."
"Curator, you're an insider. What's your take on it?"
