9th Master's Little Darling is Trolling Again Novel! - Chapter 66
Chapter 66: Another day of Being a Good Person
Professor Zhou’s expression was solemn as he coldly looked at the few staff members of the organizer. Finally, his gaze fell on the painter surnamed Ma who was looking everywhere. “You’re the one who bullied my disciple, saying that my disciple’s paintings are inferior to yours and that she colluded with the organizers to secretly switch your disciple’s paintings?”
“You’re the one who said that my disciple’s paintings were changed to yours and that her first place was yours as well?”
“Just for the sake of your twisted mentality of distorting the truth and making so many students retake the competition with you because you’re not as good as others… Other people’s time is not worth anything? Didn’t they draw their own paintings last time?”
“Do you think that the competition is organized by your family? Do you think that everyone who participates in the competition has follow you around?”
“Who gave you the courage to make such a fuss? Is It Liang Jingru?”
“I was wondering why you guys have such big faces.”
The more Professor Zhou talked, the more addicted he became. It was too exhilarating! He was in a great mood!
With his hands behind his back, he stood in front of the so-called Master Ma. “Are you the person who called me for a few months and tried to get me to take a look at your painting?” As he said that, he shook his head and clicked his tongue, “It’s a good thing I didn’t look at it back then. You’re the only one with such a good character. Tsk tsk, it’s a good thing I didn’t see you.”
“Otherwise, it would pollute my eyes.”
“May I ask, who are you? And which of these students is your disciple?”
Master Ma didn’t recognize the person in front of him at the first moment. The two of them were not of the same level at all.
If it were any other time, he would have already thrown his face and flared up after being scolded by Professor Zhou. However, there were so many people in front of him, and the words of this old man had more or less raised some vigilance in his heart. Could this old man be some extraordinary big shot?
However, there was no such person in the art circle that he knew.
He looked deeply at Professor Zhou. He did not flare up immediately, but his eyes were cold. “We are talking about serious matters. We are maintaining justice, expelling the darkness for the organizers, and providing a fair and just platform for all the contestants. This old man, if you have nothing else to say, we can talk about it later.” Look at how respectful he was to his elders, how polite he was.
If this old man still didn’t leave, then he would be fooling around on his own!
At that time, he could just say that he was the one who helped Qin Yiyi steal his disciple’s painting!
No matter what his identity was, if he put on such a hat on the Internet, then there would be this batch of wise netizens watching over him.
Was he afraid that he wouldn’t cower?
The wise netizens wanted to cry…
“Security, what’s going on? Why did you let an unrelated person in?”
Another local staff member was naturally trying to curry favor with Master Ma.
His ten-year-old daughter loved painting wholeheartedly and wanted to become the apprentice of a truly great painter.
This time, he spent a lot of effort to transfer here to work.
Wasn’t it just to see if he could get in touch with a good painter or something?
Two days ago, he had helped Master Ma deliver a package. Master Ma was very kind to him. After a few casual conversations, he actually said that he could help his daughter with a few words. This made the staff happy. Previously, he had ordered people to secretly spread those rumors. The notice to help inform the contestants was also made by him. Now, seeing that the scene was about to be disrupted by a strange old man, he stepped forward without thinking, “Security, security, kick him out.”
“What a mobster.”
Professor Zhou sneered and looked at Qin Yiyi. “Don’t be afraid, girl. With teacher here, I definitely won’t let you suffer.”
Qin Yiyi, “…” Could she ask if this old man was crazy enough to recognize the wrong person?
As soon as he entered, he immediately launched a series of indiscriminate attacks at everyone.
Not to mention Master Ma and his disciple, even Qin Yiyi, the person involved, felt a little confused.
She blinked her eyes and looked at Professor Zhou, who was still searching around for anyone who dared to make a sound, and asked the organizers.
“Who is this old man? is his disciple here too?”
In any case, she did not have such a master!
Some people in the organizers recognized Professor Zhou’s identity, so they naturally could not watch him being chased out by the security guards,
“You guys leave first. This is Professor Zhou from the imperial capital.”
After the security guards left.
The organizers looked directly at Qin Jiatong. “Miss Qin, I’m afraid our competition this time is not very suitable for you…”
They did not want such a noisy student no matter how much of a genius she was.
Moreover, if one were to really talk about geniuses, wouldn’t there be one right in front of them?!
“We will withdraw the list of names that we have reported. Of course, this matter is the negligence of our organizers. We will compensate Miss Qin in relevant aspects. If Miss Qin has any suggestions or needs, why don’t you say it in person now?Don’t worry, if we can do it, we will definitely do it…”
With these words, she almost directly said to Qin Jiatong, “Hurry up and leave now, we don’t want to see you.”
Now, she wanted to revoke her spot in the competition.
She was kicking her out.
Qin Jiatong’s face was pale, and her long eyelashes were full of tears,
“I, I…”
She was about to faint after saying just two words.
Unfortunately, she was slow, and someone was one step faster than her.
“Oh my God, look at the Internet.”
The one who spoke was a contestant from this city.
He was also informed.
He was confused. Didn’t the results already come out? Why was there a rematch?
Drawing needed inspiration.
Just because she drew well last time didn’t mean that she would be able to draw well this time!
The little girl’s previous ranking was quite good. She maintained her ranking in the top 20 in the entire province.
If she were to do it all over again, she didn’t know if she would be able to perform as well as she did last time!
Now that she knew everything in front of her was because of Qin Jiatong and her master.
Naturally, she was furious.
However, she also knew that she didn’t have much of a say in this matter until the little girl angrily browsed the Internet and Weibo.
“Quick, look, quick, look. What the higher-ups are saying is really…”
She clicked her tongue and deliberately looked at Qin Yiyi and then at Qin Jiatong. In the end, when many people were attracted by her, they lowered their heads to look at their phones.
The little girl deliberately looked at Qin Jiatong and opened her mouth, “Qin Jiatong, you told your master that Qin Yiyi switched your painting. But why is there a post on the Internet saying that you copied someone else’s inspiration? And it’s not just once. Look, he even posted the timeline, location, and clues clearly for you. Sigh, what should we do now? It seems like we can’t really judge a book by its cover.”
Her tone was full of schadenfreude.
Qin Jiatong frowned and said righteously, “Yang Qing, don’t talk nonsense. I’m not afraid of being slandered. No matter what others say, I’m naturally an upright person…”
“Alright, I’ve already asked someone to compare the paintings of the two of you. We can immediately tell who’s right and who’s wrong.”
The one who spoke was Professor Zhou.
After saying this, he couldn’t be bothered with Qin Jiatong anymore. He walked up to Qin Yiyi with a smile on his face.
“Miss Qin Yiyi, I was the one who called you previously and said that I wanted to take you in as my disciple. Look at you now, you’ve really become my disciple.”
“This is our fate.”
The corner of Qin Yiyi’s mouth twitched. “You were the one who made the calls earlier? I thought it was a scammer.”
This time, Professor Zhou was speechless.
He looked at himself up and down and was very unhappy. “Is there a kind, gentle, and cute scammer like me?”
“… There is!”
Qin Yiyi paused for a moment and nodded.
Professor Zhou,”…”
However, Professor Zhou quickly regained his hope and confidence. His face was full of attentiveness.
“Don’t worry. With teacher around, I definitely won’t let that old man bully you.”
As he spoke, he shot a fierce look at Qin Yiyi. His meaning was very clear.
Look, look, I’m still very useful as a teacher, right?
Hurry up and call me teacher! Hurry up and call me teacher!
Qin Yiyi, “…” Could this be a fake professor?!
She pretended not to see it!
Professor Zhou felt a little regretful in his heart. He thought that he could take advantage of the situation to make this girl call him ‘teacher’. Why didn’t she call him ‘teacher’?
But it didn’t matter. He would definitely accept her as his disciple!
Under Professor Zhou’s insistence, except for Qin Yiyi and her sister, all the contestants were told to leave.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with curiosity and gossip.
What was going on?
Who copied who?
Some people said that it was Qin Yiyi who switched Qin Jiatong’s painting. Otherwise, how could a person who had never studied painting do so well?
Among them, there was no lack of people who had studied painting for five, six, seven, or even eight years!
Of course, there were also people who spoke up for Qin Yiyi,
“What do you think this is? A nationwide competition. Which judge would dare to do such a thing?”
“I don’t think anyone would do such a stupid thing.”
“Hey, do you think that thing on the Internet is true?”
“Who knows? Let’s wait a little longer.”
The discussions outside faded away.
Qin Jiatong’s expression turned extremely ugly, “Sister, I, I really didn’t do anything. I didn’t say those things… I won’t blame you for the rumors on the Internet. I know it has nothing to do with you.” She deliberately stopped at this point, and her tone was faint, her gaze was even more aggrieved. “Sister, don’t worry. I believe that you won’t do such a thing. I will also explain it clearly to teacher…”
“Explain what? I feel that she is the one who let people spout nonsense on the internet and deliberately set the pace.”
Master Ma was very angry.
He looked coldly at Qin Yiyi, his eyes filled with hatred.
“You don’t learn well at such a young age and don’t have the talent to actually act tough. Do you really think that the things you stole are yours?”
“Fortunately, your parents know your true colors.”
Turning around, Master Ma, who had already completely recognized Professor Zhou’s identity, smiled apologetically, “Professor Zhou, when did you come? Why didn’t you inform me in advance? I’m the Vice President of the painting and Calligraphy Association in Hu City. If I knew that you were willing to come, I would definitely come and pick you up personally…” He babbled a bunch of flattering words. Finally, he rolled his eyes, and with a somewhat cautious and probing expression, he said, “Professor Zhou, the matter you mentioned about your disciple just now, isn’t it this one before your eyes?”
“She doesn’t have any talent in painting, and her character isn’t that good. Her learning is even worse.”
“She’s still fighting outside. She’s a problematic student in the eyes of the teacher.”
“She’s not like this little disciple of mine. She’s smart, obedient, and studious. She’s always in the top few of the exams.”
“If Professor Zhou is free one day, why don’t you bring this little girl along and give her some pointers?”
As he spoke, he signaled Qin Jiatong with his eyes, hinting for her to go forward and greet him,
If this little girl’s words could win the favor of this old man in front of him, as long as this old man could give this little disciple of his some pointers…
In the future, he would be able to get these two involved!
When that time came, the entire province’s art circle would hear that his little disciple had won the favor of Professor Zhou in the imperial capital, receiving his pointers.
As long as there was a bit of truth, he would be able to let this matter spread out by 10% or 100% !
When that time came, who would dare to look down on him?
It was a pity that the fantasy in his heart was a good one, but he could not resist the fact that Professor Zhou in front of him was not going to take the blow at all.
He sneered twice, and his eyelids rolled up in an indecent manner.
“Who are you? Do we know each other?”
“Go away, go away, don’t stand in front of me, you’re an eyesore!”
He had delayed his relationship with his disciple!
However, before he could develop a relationship with his disciple, he should properly deal with this matter.
So…
Professor Zhou suddenly stopped and looked at Qin Jiatong and her master with a serious expression, “You two haven’t looked at Weibo, right? The person who posted the news that your good disciple plagiarized and borrowed someone else’s painting has already called the police. Look, the police happened to be here, so there’s no need to trouble the two of you. Let the police do a thorough investigation on our matters here.” He directly waved at the two police officers who were brought in, “Officer, I also want to report this to the police. These two people are blackmailing my disciple, saying that my disciple’s painting belongs to them. Look, it’s the same method as the ones on Weibo. Please investigate it carefully and clear my disciple’s name.”
The officer had originally come for this matter.
He didn’t expect there to be another case here…
But the same investigator, the same type of case, they really had to investigate it together!
In the end, no matter how angry Master Ma was and no matter how miserably Qin Jiatong acted, the two police officers directly took her away without any discussion.
Qin Yiyi looked at the backs of the two people and shrugged. “Sister, you must believe the police. Uncle Police will definitely not malign good people.”
Of course, he would not let any bad people go either!
Seeing the eyesore Qin Jiatong being taken away, Qin Yiyi felt that there was nothing for her to do here anymore.
She lifted her feet and prepared to leave.
Behind her, Professor Zhou couldn’t take it anymore and stopped her without thinking,
“Little girl, this old man helped you a lot just now. What are you going to do? Just leave without saying a word?”
“I’m already so old, yet I’m still helping you to worry about all this. It is very tiring.”
As he spoke, he shot a look at Qin Yiyi. ‘Quickly call me master, quickly call me master.’
This was the precious disciple that he had chosen at a glance!
However, Qin Yiyi felt that the other party was a little too dramatic. After thinking about it, she suggested seriously.
“Why don’t you call him over now, and we’ll start from the beginning again. But you don’t have to make a sound. Let’s see if I can take care of the two of them.”
In that case, he wouldn’t have to help her, and he wouldn’t have to work so hard this time.
How good would that be?
Professor Zhou: Good my ass!
In the end, he could only choose to switch to a different method.
“How about this, I can be considered to have helped you this time. Can you treat me to a meal?”
His disciple was filial to her master.
That was normal!
Qin Yiyi narrowed her eyes. How could she not know what the old man was thinking?
However, he had indeed helped her.
She smiled slightly. “Alright, let’s go eat then. But you can tell me what you want to eat. Otherwise, I won’t be responsible if you eat something bad later.”
Professor Zhou,”…” Unfilial disciple!
Looking at Qin Yiyi walking in front with her hands in her pockets, Professor Zhou felt inexplicably amused.
There were countless parents of students and children in the capital who wanted to meet him and ask for his advice.
He refused them all.
Now…
Who would have thought that there would be such a day for him!
Thinking about it, Professor Zhou had made up his mind that this disciple was his!
Qin Yiyi took Professor Zhou to a private restaurant nearby in Ding Yi’s car.
They chose some light dishes that were suitable for the elderly.
Professor Zhou was touched in his heart. Look, this child still valued him in her heart!
Ding Yi, on the other hand, had been staring at Professor Zhou from the beginning to the end.
Why did she come out and bring an old man with her?
Moreover, he saw the way this old man looked at Miss Qin. Why was he so passionate, as if he was looking at some treasure?
No, no, he had to tell his master about this!
In the end, Qin Yiyi decisively threw the well-fed Professor Zhou at the hotel entrance and left.
Looking at the road full of exhaust fumes, Professor Zhou, “…”
“Miss Qin, are those things on the internet true?”
“What are they?”
Qin Yiyi, who was fighting the landlord with her head lowered, asked casually without much thought.
Ding Yi looked at Qin Yiyi, “It’s the thing on the internet that says Qin Jiatong always asks others to draw for her. Is It true?”
“Who knows?”
Qin Yiyi smiled meaningfully, her tone unhurried.
“I’m not a police officer. I don’t care about solving cases.”
Ding Yi rolled his eyes to the roof of the car. I don’t believe you!
Qin Jiatong was directly detained at the police station for interrogation.
The police let her go home after they had finished taking her statement because of her identity and because she had never crossed the legal line.
Master Ma couldn’t be bothered with Qin Jiatong and returned to his home in a huff.
He almost smashed his study when he closed the door.
Great, he was actually tricked by a little girl?
Didn’t that old man Zhou think that he was someone from a great family and looked down on him?
Fine, just you wait!
After he calmed down, he looked at the mess on the ground and frowned. He made a call and asked the part-time worker to clean it up.
He went to another residence.
The Qin family.
Mrs. Qin played cards with a few people from her circle and didn’t go home until midnight.
Of course, she didn’t know about Qin Jiatong.
At night, she lost a few more rounds of cards and only wanted to play a few more rounds to win it back.
“Come again, come again. I believe that my luck today is so bad. I told you, you can’t leave after winning money.”
Mrs. Qin dragged the few people who were about to leave back and continued.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the Auntie who was serving tea suddenly exclaimed and looked away from the phone in her hand.
“Mrs. Qin, look. This is second Miss Qin, right?”
“What second Miss Qin? Our family only has one Tongtong, okay?”
Mrs. Qin wished that everyone would forget Qin Yiyi!
She didn’t even raise her head, “What did our Tongtong do this time? It wasn’t me who said it. This child is smart and has a strong learning ability. She won awards everywhere and has given the school teachers a lot of face… Sigh, is our Tongtong being interviewed again? “Come, come, let’s shuffle the cards. Whose turn is it this time? In a while, none of you are allowed to snatch it from me…”
“No, Mrs. Qin, something happened to Miss Qin.”
The auntie more or less understood Mrs. Qin’s temperament, so she didn’t dare to say it directly. Instead, she tried to persuade her tactfully.
“You’d better look at Weibo yourself.”
“Weibo?”
Mrs. Qin still didn’t take it seriously. “What era is this? Why are you still using Weibo? I don’t use that old-fashioned thing.”
When the other wife heard this, she giggled.
“Mrs. Qin, you’re really funny. It’s that Weibo post on the internet. Oh my god, how did your Qin Jiatong get taken away by the police?”
Hua la!
The cards in Mrs. Qin’s hand all fell to the ground.
She stood up with a nervous expression. “Where is it? Quick, let me see it.”
She snatched the Auntie’s phone and clicked on it a few times. In the end, it was the Auntie who helped her pull it up.
“Mrs. Qin, look, there are a lot of comments about Miss Qin. They all say that her paintings were copied by someone else…”
“Now they are calling the police to warn her.”
“What nonsense.”
Mrs. Qin did not wait for the Auntie to finish speaking. She gave the Auntie a fierce glare. “Our Tong Tong is the most obedient. She has been talented in drawing since she was young. Her drawing skills are very good. Now, she has even taken Master Ma from the Painter’s Association as her teacher. She is learning very seriously. Even many teachers praise her. How could she have copied someone else?” She paused and then made the final decision. “There must be someone who is jealous of our Tong Tong and is framing her.”
“No, no, no. I have to go over and take a look immediately.”
Mrs. Qin, who had disappeared into the distance, was a little annoyed with Qin Jiatong.
How could she let such a rumor spread?!
Those few ladies looked at her with ridicule in their eyes.
This girl was too careless!
However, don’t let her know who framed her Tong Tong, or she will definitely not be done with them!
Qin Yiyi sat in her own house and thought for a long time before finally deciding to be a good person.
She, who intended to be a good person, could not sleep and got up in the middle of the night to send something to the police uncle. She did an anonymous report as a good citizen.
The final result was that the next morning, Master Ma, who had just woken up with a dark face, was once again visited by two police officers.
“Ma Liangxin, right? Someone reported that you seduced an underage girl. Now, please come with us.”
Thinking of the reports they had seen in the morning, the two police officers looked at Master Ma with disdain.
What Ma Liangxin!
From their point of view, he was obviously heartless. He was a b*stard!
