Chapter 64 Sleepwalking like a shadow chasing the light (17)(1/2)
Not only that, he was also exposed in the scandal of plagiarizing other people's paintings. He was fired from the academy and his reputation in all walks of life was completely ruined.
All of this happened in just a few days, and in these days, the Internet was almost full of verbal and written criticism.
Lin Dai, who was once regarded as the next generation leader in the painting world, was cursed and slandered in the most vicious terms.
Because of the scandal that broke out about him, some institutions that had signed contracts with him wanted to terminate their contracts with him and pay large amounts of liquidated damages. Lin Dai did not argue too much, but readily paid the liquidated damages. This also caused his original
Almost all the remaining assets were lost.
Chao Ci flipped through his phone and watched them compare Lin Da's paintings with another painter's bit by bit. They were almost identical in composition, and the painter also produced earlier evidence. Lin Da was completely fascinated.
Nailed on the pillar of shame for plagiarism.
Chao Ci's hand holding the phone was shaking, and his chest was so angry that he felt clogged.
This painting is Lin Dai's most famous work and enjoys a high reputation in the painting world. Chao Ci didn't know much about painting, and he didn't know Lin Dai before this, but if Lin Dai could plagiarize, he dared to deny this possibility with his life.
Lin Da was still calm.
He was originally looking at the computer at the table, seeming to be dealing with something. Seeing that there seemed to be no sound or movement for a long time, he turned around and took a look.
He found his little boyfriend staring at his phone, looking bitter and resentful.
He walked over, patted Chao Ci on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Don't look at these."
Growing up, Chao Ci had experienced a lot of ostracism and bullying, but this was the first time he truly felt the most costless, malicious, and unprovoked online violence. He was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
He could only look at Lin Da: "Aren't you angry?"
"What's there to be angry about?" Lin Da smiled and rubbed Chao Ci's hair.
"These people are used to downplaying the superiors and flattering the inferiors. If they really take their opinions seriously, life will be very tiring. Besides, what they say is not true, so why should we care?"
Chao Ci looked at this man who seemed so calm and indifferent, but felt even more bitter in his heart.
"Lin Zheng must have done it." He said bitterly, but felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Because of guilt.
If it weren't for him, how could Lin Zheng target Lin Da like this?
Now, most of Lin Da's assets have been repossessed and frozen, some assets that have nothing to do with the family have also been paid liquidated damages, and all their jobs have been terminated.
If it weren't for him...
"Don't think too much." Lin Da took the mobile phone from Chao Ci and threw it on the bed, while she took Chao Ci into her arms, "I robbed his treasure, if he wants to retaliate against me, I will
normal."
"But these things that were taken away are not as good as yours. In total, I have made a lot of money."
Chao Ci said dullly in his arms: "I am not his treasure..."
You didn't steal it either.
It was originally yours.
Lin Dai smiled and rubbed Chao Ci's slightly curly hair, but said nothing.
How could it not be?
It's just that his arrogant brother is unwilling to look directly into his heart.
Of course he wanted to take advantage of this moment to snatch his treasure.
"I'm just sorry, we may have to live a somewhat difficult time in the future." Lin Dai said.
Chao Ci shook his head in his arms and hugged Lin Dai's waist tightly.
…………
Lin Da has terminated her contract with the school, so naturally she can no longer live in the professor's apartment.
He rented an apartment next to the school.
Of course Chao Ci was not willing to let him face it alone at this time, so he moved out of his doctor's apartment and lived with Lin Da.
Although Lin Da lost her job, a capable person will never lack the means to make a living no matter where he goes.
He accepted many drawings online and sold them without signature, or received some designs, etc. These were enough to make him live a wealthy life.
Chao Ci also felt slightly relieved.
However, this good situation did not last for a few days. On the third day, all orders received by Lin Da were canceled, and they only needed to pay the deposit.
Lin Da pressed her temples at the table and sighed.
Killing them all to this point is worthy of his brother's style.
In fact, he had guessed it a long time ago, but he just took a chance.
He didn't want to tell Chao Ci about these things, so he just went out to look for a job the next day.
However, if he didn't tell Chao Ci, it would be impossible for Chao Ci to guess it.
When Lin Da returned home, what she saw was Chao Ci, with red eyes, sitting on the sofa. After hearing the door being opened, she looked at him with a pair of red eyes like a rabbit.
Lin Da suddenly felt extremely distressed. He quickly stepped forward, wiped away Chao Ci's tears with his fingertips, and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Chao Ci suddenly threw herself into his arms, crying and saying sorry to him.
As expected, I couldn't hide it from him.
Lin Da was a little helpless.
He held Chao Ci's face, kissed his tears away little by little, then looked at him and said, "You fool, what are you thinking about?"
"Those orders have all been withdrawn, but Lin Zheng is not the one who can control everything. My mother still had several family friends before her death. One of them was willing to believe me and asked me to work as a designer in their company. Although because of my current reputation,
It’s not good, I can’t hold a high position, but it’s pretty good,” he said.
In fact, it's not that he has nothing to do with Lin Zheng. Although he has never thought of taking power in these years, it doesn't mean that he has no backup plan. It's just that it will take some time, and during this time, he must paralyze Lin Zheng.
If he had known that he would meet Chao Ci and want the treasure in his brother's hands, he would not have pushed back and forth on those powers over the years. But now that he regrets it, it is not Lin Da's style.
Chao Ci looked at him doubtfully.
However, when Lin Da lies, there is no flaw at all.
In the end, Chao Ci took the initiative to kiss Lin Da.
"You can't mark me, but you still want me, okay?"
…………
Chao Ci slept until noon before getting up.
His body was very dry, and the memory of last night seemed to be that Lin Da carried him into the bathroom.
Chao Ci got up from bed, but his steps still felt weak when he walked.
He felt a little emotional: [If nothing else, these two brothers are worthy of being twins in terms of kidney function.]
Especially last night was Lin Da's first time eating meat. This person usually seemed very gentle, but last night she wanted to swallow him alive.
The system understands the nature of Chao Ci better than most people. It rolled its eyes and asked: "Does it feel good?"
【Exciting!】Chao Ci speaks bluntly.
[Go to work when you feel good. Do you still want to leave? 】
[Think about it.] Chao Ci rubbed his waist, [Isn’t this a matter of combining work and rest?]
He originally wanted to follow his plan, but suddenly he discovered something interesting.
One of the drawers on Lin Da's desk was locked.
Chao Ci has experience in unlocking locks. To survive in so many worlds, you can't do it without some skills.
He got a piece of wire, stretched it into the keyhole and fiddled with it a few times, and the lock was opened.
There are many paintings inside.
At the bottom is a planning book for an art exhibition and a small notebook.
The desired date for the event should be two days later.
There are some messy manuscripts written in the notebook, which are some of Lin Da's ideas for this exhibition. Judging from the original date, it actually started two years ago.
Chao Ci had seen these paintings, and they were originally displayed in Lin Dai's studio. Some were painted by Lin Dai before, and some were painted by Lin Dai with him.
Lin Da's infinite efforts have been poured into each piece.
In one of them, Chao Ci spent a whole month looking at Lin Da.
They would have been placed in the studio with great treasure, displayed in art exhibitions, and received praise from everyone. But because Lin Dai was slandered, the art exhibition he had planned for two years had to be suspended.
In fact, this small apartment only has one room and one living room, not even a studio. These paintings can only be squeezed into this narrow drawer.
Chao Ci's eyes gradually turned red, and something seemed to be blocked in his throat.
It was so uncomfortable that I couldn't breathe.
