Not only that, it can be said to be excellent.

Ordinary sculptors may not even shape the shape of the portrait, let alone the spirit and soul of the statue.

However, Duan Xiao's works have reached a state of being both physical and spiritual.

The object of the sculpture was a great scholar and thinker. In order to show this characteristic, Duan Xiao's statue was dressed in a more sophisticated manner, and he was wearing a bachelor's robe. The expression between his eyebrows was very restrained. Only a pair of eyes were bright and bright, emitting a flame-like light.

It's really light.

Bai Ye looked at it from a different angle and indeed saw the refraction reflection on the statue's eyeballs. This shows that Duan Xiao must have been polished when casting the statue's eyes. Or he used other means to make his eyes shine.

It is precisely this little light that makes people feel that the statue has become "living" when watching it, guiding ignorant sentient beings to the right path.

Such works are very vivid.

No wonder Duan Xiao couldn't help but feel confident in winning.

However, before Bai Ye could speak, someone nearby said happily: "Hey, Bai Ye, is this your statue work?"

While speaking, the group turned around from the nearby corridor.

The person who spoke was Yuan Rui. He came with a group of scholars, celebrities, and 20 or 30 people, with great might and extraordinary momentum.

"Director Yuan."

Lu Huaiyong was stunned: "Aren't you attending the library?"

"After visiting, I'm going to turn around to the conference room. I happened to hear you chatting, so I turned around and take a look." Yuan Rui's eyes fell on the statue. After a moment of examination, there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

With the mentality of not doubting people and not using them, he didn't ask what Bai Ye's works looked like. But now it seems to be good.

Yuan Rui's happy appearance fell into everyone's eyes. Li Sheng and others were naturally overjoyed, but Lu Huaiyong's scalp was numb.

The most fear of preconceived ideas in everything is that if Yuan Rui is satisfied with this statue, even if he sees Bai Ye's work after a while. If the two works are comparable, Yuan Rui may have inherited his first impression and appreciate Duan Xiao's works more.

It is precisely because of understanding this that Li Sheng is ecstatic.

At the same time, a group of scholars also noticed the statue, and their eyes lit up at first glance. They walked over one after another, squeezed Li Sheng and others aside, and stopped to watch.

Someone quipped while watching, "Old Yuan, you are not kind, you didn't tell everyone, and you prepared this thing. If you had known it, we would have prepared one or two."

"It's not too late to know now."

Yuan Rui smiled and said, "Your calligraphy is good, so you will write a banner later. By the way... Remember to keep this matter confidential."

The prototype of the statue is somewhat inconvenient to take a wheelchair and goes straight up from the elevator.

"Hey, do you want to have any surprises?"

An old man smiled and said, "But you do have the intention. Today is his birthday. Everyone knows it and will definitely cooperate with you."

Everyone around them said yes, and some of them also had a hint of envy in their eyes.

After all, it is a supreme glory to be sculpted when they are alive, and it can be recognized by many scholars and celebrities. However, when they think of the life of the scholar, these people are relieved, calm and envious.

As scholars sighed in a while.

Duan Xiao couldn't help but feel excited and said in a trembling voice: "Old Yuan, this is my work, a sculpture I made with my own hands..."

This is his hard work and his glory. We must not misunderstand that Baiye stole his own fruit of victory.

"Um?"

The voice was wrong. Yuan Rui looked back and found that it was not Bai Ye who was speaking, but a strange young man. This made him a little confused. He couldn't help looking at Bai Ye, his eyes showing a consultation look, as if asking, what's going on?

"Director Yuan..."

Lu Huaiyong hurriedly said, "This...young man, I don't know where he knew that you commissioned Baiye to make a statue, so he made something privately and carried it over. This is clearly..."

After all, he didn't say the word "small" but pointed: "You always read that Bai Ye's works are still in the corner. I planned to send them to the conference room after I finished the time."

Huh?

This matter...

It's interesting.

A group of scholars were slightly stunned, their eyes turned and their expressions were different. With their experience, they didn't need to think much, and they basically understood the tricks of this matter.

Some people are disgusted with this matter, but some don’t care. Anyway, most people don’t react, but look at Yuan Rui. After all, only "owners" like Yuan Rui are qualified to deal with such things. It is the wisest choice for others to remain silent.

Not Bai Ye's work.

Yuan Rui frowned slightly, and the scene was silent.

Even the arrogant Duan Xiao had his chest fluctuated at this moment, and he seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say it in the end. Because next to Yuan Rui, he clearly felt that Yuan Rui's frivolous glance at him was filled with indescribable pressure.

This is the aura of a big man...

To be more scientific, it is the suppression of the psychological level. After all, Duan Xiao is now asking for Yuan Rui, hoping to get his affirmation and surpass Bai Ye.

Psychologically, he must have been shorter than Yuan Rui. He was afraid that he would disturb him and would cause Yuan Rui's reaction, so he felt pressured.

So for a short ten seconds, Duan Xiao felt like he was living like a year, and his forehead was sweating slightly and he didn't know it.

At this time, Yuan Rui turned around and stopped looking at Duan Xiao's works, but walked into the lounge and looked at the sculpture covered with thick cloth.

"Is it so mysterious?"

Yuan Rui smiled and reached out and pulled the thick cloth away.

Bai Ye's statue immediately came into his eyes. After taking a look, he couldn't help but retreat, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

At the same time, others rushed into the lounge, almost filling the narrow space. At different angles, the moment they saw the statue, everyone could not hide their surprised expressions.

"This is..."

"What's it?"

“…It doesn’t look like it at all.”

Someone spoke up, full of doubts.

Because compared with Duan Xiao's statue, Bai Ye's works are unexpected and subvert their impression of that great scholar.

It can be said that from the perspective of image, this seems to be a...failed work.

Because everyone needs to look carefully, they can vaguely find some shapes similar to those of scholars from the facial features of the statue. It is just the facial features, but mainly the shape of the statue, which is unacceptable to everyone.

The same standing statue, Duan Xiao’s image is not very majestic. At least he is tall and straight, as if he is facing the wind and pine, exuding a high and steep spirit.

This is the demeanor that great people should have in everyone’s ideal.
