As the saying goes, a disciple is willing to do the work.
Feng Qingxue, along with Ouyang Mo, He Qingyin, and Lou Shaonong, was part of the main personnel receiving guests. She was a bit surprised to see the arrival of esteemed figures. Ouyang, He, Lou, and others managed the situation adeptly, appearing intimately familiar with each guest as if they had known them for years. Feng Qingxue, witnessing such a scene for the first time, found it all somewhat strange.
She was well aware that Wen Ruyu was a towering figure in modern painting circles, but didn't expect his social circle to be so vast.
The first to arrive were the elderly couple Ouyang Lan and Tang Song, whom she recognized, so she moved past them.
Having heard of the former barrister Qin Huai from Wen Ruyu, Feng Qingxue had an impression of him: a short, unassuming elderly man whose eyes still sparkled brightly despite his age.
Next came the oil painting master Su Mingan, bald, walking with a limp, leaning on a cane.
