Disliked by everyone? She is clearly the most beloved one in the rich family!

After arriving at the school, Meng Yu drove away first. Chen Xun had just called him and asked him to go to the company to process the report.

This period of time was truly exhausting for Meng Yuhuo. He felt like he hadn't gotten a full night's sleep. Of course, he hadn't seen Chen Xun sleep either. But Chen Xun was always full of energy. No one knew where he got all that energy.

After being in the company for such a long time, Meng Yu has already adapted to the company's intensity and work content. However, he is still not very sensitive to some business matters, so Chen Xun has been training him in this aspect during this period.

Especially when he has to attend social events or discuss projects with others, he will be asked to accompany him. Afterwards, he will be asked to write a summary, recording his thoughts and what he has learned, to ensure that he is making progress every day.

His motivational approach allowed Meng Yu to grow rapidly in a short period of time.

Meng Yu didn't know whether this was the indicator given by Meng Yingnian to Chen Xun, but he had lived a very fulfilling life during this period.

Sometimes his mother missed him and called him on video, but he didn't have time to answer and could only send a voice message to comfort her afterwards. Those who knew him understood that he had joined Meng's Enterprise, while those who didn't thought he had been transferred to Africa to be a slave.

The group of four got out of the car, but it didn't cause any commotion in the school. After all, there were many luxury cars in front of the school, so people wouldn't be too surprised even if they saw them.

Moreover, although Master Yi and Fenghua are famous, they are only important in their own circles and are not seen by many people in other fields.

Yu Zhi took them to his sculpture room.

The smart lock installed at the door of the sculpture room opened Master Yi's eyes. He had never seen a school equipped with such professional equipment. After all, the school's sculptors were not worth spending so much money to treat them in a high-profile manner. He did not expect that their school attached great importance to the art of sculpture.

Master Yi was completely mistaken. Originally, the sculpture room was just a broken wooden door. It was only because of the incident of Yu Zhi's sculpture being smashed that Meng Yingnian spent money to transform the sculpture classroom into this appearance.

However, this beautiful misunderstanding only exists in Master Yi's mind. Anyway, he has no chance to return to school to study.

When the door was opened, the sculpture was placed in the middle, with an unfinished Medusa statue next to it. Master Yi walked up to the sculpture and took a look, then gasped.

Master Yi had seen Fenghua's works before. In fact, Fenghua's works have their own system. Master Yi believes that the most important thing for a sculptor is to have his own style. Therefore, when teaching Fenghua and others to sculpt, he did not strictly guide them to shape their own imagination. Instead, he gave them more space so that they can create their own style characteristics.

Fenghua's sculptures actually combine Eastern and Western characteristics, and are also influenced to a great extent by Master Yi's style. However, after all, they are a disciple of the same master, so this situation is easy to occur.

It was only when Master Yi saw Yu Zhi's sculpture that he realized that truly talented people did not need to think too much, but could appreciate the unique beauty in it on their own.

In Yu Zhi's sculpture, Master Yi can clearly feel that Yu Zhi has no problem controlling the details of the sculpture. In addition, Yu Zhi has his own ideas. Through some small tricks, he can delicately show the character's expression, that is, to shape the human nature that Fenghua talks about.

"Has Yu Zhi ever studied with other sculptors before?"

When Master Yi saw Yu Zhi's work, a person suddenly emerged in his mind. This was not a domestic sculptor, but a well-known figure from abroad. His name was Adam.

This sculptor rose to fame in Europe, and the aesthetic design of his sculptures is almost entirely inspired by the public. Normally, sculpture should be a display of strength and beauty, so sculptors strive for perfection in their portrayal of figures. However, he is different. He strives to depict the diverse forms of each person, specifically magnifying their strengths while minimizing their weaknesses. However, these flaws remain in his sculptures, without neglecting the meaning and value of humanity.

When Master Yi saw Yu Zhi's work, the first person that came to his mind was Adam.

But Yu Zhi shook his head.

"I didn't learn sculpture from any specific master. I just learned some relevant professional knowledge in class at school and knew how to polish and shape it. The rest of the aspects are my own personal ideas."

Yu Zhi said this not out of pretense, but that's exactly what he was like.

He does not think that sculpture is an extremely difficult task. It can be said that Yu Zhi feels that it is like writing, using his pen to shape a character. There is no difference between them. Instead, he uses the carving knife in his hand to depict the image of a character. Through such an image, people who see it can understand the emotions that the creator wants to express.

But to anyone who heard these words, especially Fenghua, it was pure talent that crushed them.

Fenghua is a relatively gifted child. He has been constantly honing his skills since he began studying under Master Yi. Whether it's in the realm of imagination or the depiction and portrayal of hard details, he has endured a lot of hardships to achieve perfection in his sculptures, seeking breakthroughs in this area and finding his own style.

But from Yu Zhi's words, everything seemed so simple, so simple that one could smell the fragrance of plum blossoms without having to endure the bitter cold.

"You are a very talented child, and I think your future in sculpture will be limitless. However, you still need to improve your control over some details."

Master Yi carefully observed Yu Zhi's work. In fact, it was because of his meticulous observation of the details on the sculpture that he was able to find some flaws. But if you look at it in a general way like in a competition, no one can compare to Yu Zhi's sculpture in looking more wonderful.

Having heard so many people praising the sculpture, but never mentioning any problems with it, Yu Zhi was a little curious.

After all, he really wants to do his work perfectly and to the extreme. Yu Zhi doesn't know if he has some obsessive-compulsive disorder, but he really can't accept the shortcomings of his work.

"Could you please give me some advice? Actually, I can't see any problems with this work anymore. After all, I created it myself, so I often get blinded by my own shortcomings."

Yu Zhi humbly asked Master Yi for advice, after all, such an opportunity is hard to come by.

Being able to receive comments from such a heavyweight master and having his shortcomings pointed out, Yu Zhi felt that after today's class, he would definitely be reborn.

"Let me explain. First, based on the basics of this painting, some details aren't quite right, like this one on the shoulder and this one on the hair. Logically, there should be very slight rough edges in these two areas. After all, judging by her status, her family situation probably wasn't very good. So, especially with regard to the decoration of her clothing, it's crucial to fit her character. Also, I suggest using some varnish to increase the contrast of the colors. This will not only make her image more vivid and three-dimensional, but also make it more eye-catching."

Yu Zhi had never heard of the direction that Master Yi mentioned, because the teacher's teaching in class did not involve any application in this area.

After listening to Master Yi's words, Yu Zhi thought about it in his mind and nodded in agreement. He admitted that if the sense of layering was increased in this way, it would definitely make the sculpture look more three-dimensional and vivid.

"Also, the eyes—the details are actually very well handled, at least much better than Fenghua's. Fenghua still doesn't know how to imbue sculptures with soul. Your sculpture immediately grabs the eye and allows one to see the emotion within. But judging by the two sculptures you placed before it, I think the emotion you portray is relatively singular, and the Knapp sculpture in the picture also conveys a similar emotion. I think you could try other emotions. That way you can step out of your comfort zone and master a deeper level of artistic portrayal. After all, people don't just have one emotion; even in extreme pain, joy can be expressed."

What Master Yi said made a lot of sense. Yu Zhi wanted to take out his little notebook and write down what he said.

Yu Zhi admitted that he did have such a problem. He was easily attracted by the suffering of others, so when he was carving sculptures, he subconsciously wanted to express the direction in this way.

Actually, this is not a problem for a budding sculptor. However, if he spends a long time portraying characters with only one emotion, it will be very detrimental to his long-term development.

Master Yi's words hit the nail on the head, allowing Yu Zhi to truly see the abilities and qualities of the senior sculptor.

However, Fenghua, who was standing aside, was a little unhappy. Just talk about Yu Zhi, why involve him? He did not agree with this method of praising one and stepping down on the other.

"Master, I know Yu Zhi is very good, but you don't have to be so disrespectful of me. The main reason for my work this time is that I was too short on time, so many aspects are not as exquisite. I feel that if I am given enough time, I may be able to create a work that can surpass Yu Zhi."

Hearing Fenghua's words, Master Yi immediately shook his head.

"I've mentioned this to you a long time ago, but I've actually been thinking about why your work lacks humanity lately. I think it's because you're still inexperienced. You've been in the sculpture studio your entire life, never interacting with people outside, and you don't understand the differences in people's emotions. No creation emerges out of thin air."

These words made Yu Zhi nod uncontrollably.

No creation appears out of thin air. Any creation is completed based on a basic tone, just like their sculptures. In fact, many works look cutting-edge, but they are all based on the perspective of people. They just add their own imagination to people and transform them into another appearance.

"Master Yi is indeed worthy of being called a master. After hearing what you said, I felt like everything had suddenly dawned on me. It turns out that I still have a long way to go in sculpture. Compared to you, I am still just a sapling."

Yu Zhi's modest and cautious attitude made Master Yi more satisfied with him.

There are many talented children who do not like to listen to criticism because they think their works are good enough. Therefore, they will show impatience when facing some corrections. This kind of emotion is a taboo in sculpture. If they cannot recognize their own mistakes, they will not be able to make progress and will eventually become mediocre and incompetent.

When Master Yi first took a liking to Fenghua, he saw how this child actively sought help from others when faced with a problem. This willingness to constantly correct one's mistakes is the key to going further.
