But at the moment when the scroll gradually unfurled, Elder Wang finally understood why President Zhuang, someone who didn't understand art, rejected this painting at a glance.
The craftsmanship was impeccable, but the theme was somewhat too playful.
This kind of scroll, paired with such perfect craftsmanship, and this rather frivolous content, would give anyone the impression that it was definitely a modern print made to look old.
"Hehe, if Brother Lin spent only two hundred and fifty yuan, then just the scroll itself was worth it. That Monkey is really something; I simply said I wasn't sure about the painting, and he let it go for two hundred yuan. You might say Brother Lin got lucky."
Seeing Elder Wang deeply furrowing his brow, Chairman Zhuang was immediately further convinced of his own suspicions, finally speaking out.
As for the purpose, it was certainly to ease the awkward atmosphere, as it wouldn't be good to bluntly say, "Brother Lin, you bought a forgery."
